Chapter 6 The Surprise

As the car drove through the streets, Sophia tried to think of a way to escape. She looked around, trying to take in every detail of her surroundings.

But before she could come up with a plan, the car stopped in front of a large mansion. Alessandro got out of the car and pulled Sophia out behind him.

As they walked towards the mansion, Sophia's eyes widened in surprise. She had never seen a house like this before. It was huge and luxurious, with marble floors and crystal chandeliers.

Alessandro smiled as he saw the look on Sophia's face. "Welcome to my home," he said.

Sophia's eyes narrowed. "Why have you brought me here?" she asked.

Alessandro shrugged. "I thought you might like to see how the other half lives," he said.

Sophia's eyes flashed with anger. "I don't care about your wealth," she said. "I just want to go home."

Alessandro's smile faltered for a moment, before he regained his composure. "I'm afraid that's not possible," he said. "You're going to have to stay here with me for a while."

Sophia's eyes widened in horror. "What do you mean?" she asked.

Alessandro shrugged. "I mean that you're going to have to stay here with me until your father agrees to my terms," he said.

Sophia's eyes flashed with anger. "You can't keep me here against my will," she said.

Alessandro smiled. "Oh, but I can," he said. "And I will."

And with that, Alessandro turned and walked away, leaving Sophia alone and frightened in the huge mansion.

Sophia walked through the mansion, trying to find a way out. But every door she opened led only to more rooms and corridors.

She was trapped.

As she walked, Sophia stumbled upon a room that seemed to have been left untouched for years. There was a layer of dust on everything, and the air was thick with the scent of decay.

Sophia wandered through the room, running her fingers over the dusty furniture. And then, she saw it. A small, leather-bound book lying on a nearby table.

Sophia picked up the book, blowing off the dust. As she opened it, she saw that it was filled with handwritten notes.

But as she began to read, Sophia realized that the notes were not just any notes. They were a diary, written by someone who had been trapped in this very mansion.

Sophia's eyes widened as she read the words, feeling a chill run down her spine. She was not alone in this mansion. There were others here, others who had been trapped just like her.

And Sophia was determined to find them.
