Sweet Captive: Kidnapped by a My Mom’s Husband Who’s Been Stalking Me

Malorie

I thought Caleb was just my mother’s husband.

My landlord.

A man with money, property, and too much interest in my life.

I didn’t know he’d been watching me for years.

Tracking my routines.

Learning how alone I really was.

When he kidnaps me, it isn’t violent.

It’s deliberate.

A basement beneath the building he owns. Chains he planned for. A future he decided was mine.

Valentine’s Day is the day I disappear.

And the day I stop pretending I was ever free.

I should hate him.

I should fight harder.

But the longer I’m kept underground, the more my body learns what my fear doesn’t want to admit.

I was chosen.

And being chosen feels dangerous.

Caleb

Malorie was never meant to belong to the city.

Men like me see that. We recognize what’s unprotected.

I married her mother to stay close.

Bought the building to control access.

Built the basement because some things need privacy to last.

I didn’t take Malorie on impulse.

I claimed her when the timing was right.

She fights.

She adapts.

She learns.

Valentine’s Day isn’t about romance.

It’s about devotion. Permanence. Ownership.

And Malorie will understand eventually.

She isn’t trapped.

She’s kept.
