“You know, you really are rather pretty when you’re scared.” He murmured, his mouth so close to my ear as if he was whispering sweet nothings to me. “I’m going to enjoy taking everything from you.”
Just his touch made me want to be sick and growled, glaring at him. Noah showed no emotion to that. Pain burst at the back of my head as it connected roughly with the wall and I winced, my head throbbing.
“Don’t even think about growing a backbone.” He hissed and I felt cold fear shoot through me at how
y quickly he went from empty to rage filled. “Tell anyone about our little catch up Ellie and I’ll make you regret it by starting with your boyfriend. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll ditch him before something bad happens to him.”
“Please don’t…” I whimpered.
“Please don’t, what?”
“Please don’t hurt my friends.” I whispered. “I won’t tell anyone anything, just don’t hurt
them.”
Noah’s silence unnerved me. Experience warned me that it didn’t mean anything good. However, I was stunned when he stepped back from me, his eyes watching me curiously. I
couldn’t work out what he was thinking but I knew I wasn’t going to like it but at this point I
just wanted him away from me. He wanted something. He always wanted something. Usually it was my pain, my pain or my humiliation but he always just took it from me. He had this natural talent to extract whatever ugly emotion he wanted from me without saying anything.
“Kneel.” He finally spoke.
My stomach dropped. “What?”
“Kneel, Ellie.” Noah repeated so casually, we might as well have been discussing the weather. “Kneel and beg me not to hurt your friends. I want to see just how far you will go to protect
them.”
For a moment I just stood there stunned. I thought I had misheard him or imagined it but as
the silence stretched between us and I saw the look in Noah’s eyes, I realised I hadn’t been
mistaken. He wanted me to beg like a dog for my friends‘ safety and I had no choice.
Breathing in a shaky breath, I tried to ignore the tears rolling down my already wet cheeks and forced myself to sink to my knees. It wasn’t exactly hard physically as my legs had been feeling

Chapter 80
like jello since this whole nightmare started but swallowing my pride was worse than a bitter pill and I could feel every ounce of my self–worth screaming for me not to do this. The moment my knees touched the floor my dignity shattered and I brought my trembling hands to my face as I forced down the sobs trying to escape. I felt sick, my chest wanted to implode as I tried to compose myself. It felt like an eternity before I could lift my head and force myself to open my eyes, vision blurred by more tears while Noah simply stared down at me patiently.
“Please…” I breathed. “Noah please don’t hurt my friends. I–1 won’t tell anyone anything. Just please…please leave m–my friends alone.”
“And what do I get?” Noah asked, tilting his head. “This all seems very one–sided, Ellie.”
“I–I’ll do anything!” I cried, realising a second too late that I had made a terrible mistake. “Please Noah! I’m begging you. Leave them alone!” D
This clearly caught his attention and I felt my heart sink as he raised a black eyebrow in interest. “Anything?” He repeated and smirked. “I’ll hold you to that Ellie.”
Crap.
