The girl's ear-piercing scream brought him to a halt. His hands froze, and as the scream grew louder, he paused and looked to his right to confirm that he had indeed heard a cry. When the girl yelled out once more, he left me on the bed, swiftly opening the door and dashing out as if someone's life depended on it.When he was leaving, I got to see his face for a second, and he was looking tense.I sat up on the bed, my breath heavy and harsh from the previous incident. I thought I would lose my innocence today because of the way he was determined to ruin me forever, but the cry of the other girl saved me.I am grateful to whomever it is.The first thought that crossed my mind was that she might be his wife. When I didn't know that he was in the Mafia and also killed his best friend, anything was possible with him. I have always admired him from afar at the college, and even when he visited our home, he never shared anything about his family because he always liked to keep his life priv
I gasped and woke up quickly as ice-cold water splashed over me.Gasping for air and blinking my eyes multiple times to clear my vision, I looked around to get a hold of my surroundings, and everything that happened to me the day before played in my head like a movie. Each moment was clear in my head, from the auction to his barbaric attack, shaking me to the core.I could see a bucket in front of me, and my eyes trailed up to see the person who was holding it, and I saw Damien Victor, who has become the nightmare of my life.His dark presence loomed over me; he was looking down at me with an emotionless face, as if it were something normal for him to do.His voice cut through the air, icier than the water that had shocked me awake. "Wake up, Princess," his words dripped with a chilling coldness, "you are no longer in the comfort of your parent's home." When he mentioned my parents, I missed them. Though they are in a different city, they must be getting worried, as I haven't called t
Clutching the t-shirt that he just threw on my face with a tight fist, I stood up. My heart is shattering even more every time he treats me like trash. It felt as though, with each passing moment, another piece of my soul was shattering into irreparable fragments. His eyes were fixed on me as I passed through him, but this time he didn't stop me as I entered the bathroom. Locking myself in, I placed the t-shirt aside, and the first thing I saw was my reflection in the mirror, which terrified and saddened me equally. My hair was completely disheveled, cascading down my shoulders. My once-lustrous strand was tangled and furious, mirroring the storm that had entered my life, making it unruly and chaotic. My face appeared pale and devoid of life. The rosiness and the natural glow were no longer there on my cheek; instead, they were replaced by tears that were dribbling down my eyes continuously. My eyes were red and puffy from all the continuous crying and begging. There was fear of t
My mind was still trying to fully process the revelation when his lips crashed against mine. The kiss was so forceful that it left me breathless and stunned for a few seconds. The world around me seemed to fade into a haze as the intensity of his aggression enveloped me. And when I tried to pull away, his hand, which was resting on my waist, moved up and held my skull in his tight grip with so much pressure that I was held captive by his aggression. His other hand was still resting on my thigh, threatening me to move up if I tried to protest. He was kissing me so aggressively that it seemed like he was practically feeding on my lips. His cruelty, mixed with his desire to have me for a long time, surged a sense in me that left me reeling in its wake. I wasn't getting what he was getting by kissing me so harshly. I jumped at his place when his teeth dug into my lower lip asking for permission. When I hesitated, his response was swift and brutal, a sharp pinch on my thigh that elici
After getting ready for the day, he started talking and talking about his shoes, clothes, watches, handkerchiefs, and even cologne for a super long fifteen minutes. He told me loads about how he likes them, what matches with what, and what he prefers. But honestly, I couldn't keep track of half the stuff he said. My brain was too busy thinking about how I could escape from this golden cage. I don't want to stay here at any cost, and I just wish to fly away from his clutches before he returns. I will hide in a place where he will never be able to find me. I need to find the truth about my brother's death and tell my parents about myself. Yes, my parents! My phone! I should inform them. They must be getting worried. "What happened? Are you even there?" His words cut my thoughts "Damien" I gulped and blinked, "I mean, sir." I changed my words before he could get angry at me unnecessarily and do something which I wouldn't like: "I want my phone, I want to talk to my parents." "Why
After Damien left, my eyes moved to Greta, she was looking at me. We had a conversation with our eyes for a moment. But she quickly averted her gaze and began collecting the dishes one by one, carrying them back to the kitchen. Though I haven't eaten properly yet, I wasn't feeling hungry. The only thought that was there in my head was to get free from here as soon as possible, relentlessly yearning to regain my freedom. As Greta gathered the last of the dishes and retreated to the kitchen, a wave of determination washed over me. I knew I needed to take advantage of the situation and explore every possible way to escape from this cage. Slowly standing up on my feet, I found myself standing alone in the middle of the hall. My eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to spot any way out of this hell. A servant came out of the bathroom, from which I retrieved the mop in the morning. He bowed slightly before continuing on his way. It struck me that the servants probably had no clue about
I refused to bend to his sadistic desires, or surrender myself to his twisted whims, so I skipped the idea of sitting in the position of a submissive when he entered the room because it would only boost his ego and he would think that I would actually do whatever he wanted.No, I was determined not to give him that satisfaction. He may want to break me, to crush my spirit under the weight of his dominance, but I was not going to crumble in front of him.I made a split-second decision, my mind racing as I sought a different approach. As the door began to swing open, I propelled myself onto the bed, swiftly pulled the duvet over my body, and closed my eyes tightly, pretending that I had slept so that he could leave me. My heart was thumping so loudly in my chest that I had just seen a ghost, but the situation is not different because Damien is no less than a ghost himself. Under the cover of the duvet, my chest heaved with each labored breath. I prayed fervently that the rise and fall
Angelica's POVDread seeped into every fiber of my being as his words hung in the air, like a looming storm ready to break. My knuckles turned white as my fists clenched the bedsheet beneath me, the fabric twisting and bunching under my grip."I didn't" I lied to protest, to save myself from the punishment he just mentioned."You have no reason not to find the route to escape and the informer has no reason to lie."A cynical chuckle rumbled in his throat, making the atmosphere even more suffocating.Suddenly I felt his fingertips touching my thigh, and he slowly lifted my frock up, which must have barely covered my buttocks because of the position. His actions were deliberate, unsettling me further.As he lifted my frock, exposing more of my body to his gaze, a wave of humiliation washed over me. I felt vulnerable, exposed, and powerless in front of him. I wanted to shield myself from his prying eyes, to preserve whatever little dignity I had left."I must say I am quite impressed by
