38“What did you say?” Armando asked me with surprise plastered on his face and a bit of curve on the lips, “Say it again, I want to hear,” he added after pressing my shoulders with his fingers. All I could feel was him forcing me to submit to him, It had been so frustrating to me for not marrying the man I loved, Instead of dealing with my rapist “I-I didn’t mean that to say, It was a tongue-slip,” I elucidated “Kitten, don’t hide yourself to me, I can see through all the intensity you’re hiding from me for a long time,” he politely mumbled, his thumb laid on my chin and pulled up to make me meet his eyes.Coming closer to my left cheek, he whispered, “Let’s not be tough with each other anymore,”“Stop! Stop forcing me to feel for you, why don’t you see what you did to me? Instead of giving me a mental break, you keep pushing me to my limits, Stop it, Armando, I’m done with your games!” I pulled back and hastened to leave the room to avoid the aftermath I created by yelling, As I
39PresentLana’s P.O.V Armando came closer to my face toward an extent where our lips were inches away, his hold over my arm was still the same; forceful and paining me while those eyes were radiating red flags, “Armando, let go of me! You’re hurting me!” I scolded him as I forced my arm out of his fist but he didn’t move even an inch, just too busy in shaping his jaw and glaring at me, “What lullaby did he put in your head?---That I bought you from your parents?” He deeply questioned, his eyes were still emitting an intense dreadful aura“Ethan, Miley, go to your room I’ll be joining you both there,” I spoke, not wanting my fragile kids to be exposed with his ugly word too soon. Both of them quietly stood up and left in no time. I could feel them low already, three of us had always been sensitive to such situations but felt like I was no longer included in a sensitive category. I got used to all of this mess. The door got closed and I continued, “It’s not a myth, it’s the truth
40FlashbackArmando’s P.O.VHouston, TXI was in my Audi SUV, resting on the seat with one leg above another. My eyes loosened as I gazed out of the tinted window with an iPad in my hands. The screen was displaying reports of Los Angeles which needed my urgent attention but I was completely distracted; distracted by a girl who made me a lovesick puppy, I needed every bit of her focus on me, My heart was struggling to keep back the lusty desires which I was visibly failing. It was all over my face that I missed her but never knew I would’ve missed her this severely. I kept being hard on myself by lying that I wasn’t missing her but deep down I knew it was a fucking boogie lie. Every time I tried to concentrate on the screen, her face popped up in my eyes and left me half-hearted. I felt like betraying my kitten for not telling her the truth about my whereabouts. I shouldn’t have lied to her about it nor I should’ve fallen too deeply in love with her that everything I do would leave
8This was it. I had enough, I was so done of everything I encountered back in that room, My mind was spinning all the way back to Miley and Ethan. I no longer wished life for myself because I wasn’t living it for myself after my abduction and I didn’t see any end, I was running to my sibling’s room; wanting to vanish my existence in the snap of a finger but that wasn’t possible, so the best choice I had was to lock myself along with my naive kids in a room and starve to death, I was way too emotional, tears were out of my control and they blurred my vision. I kept running towards the direction which I guessed led to my sibling’s room which I thought they were in. After crossing the corridor, I stopped in front of a door at my left and turned the knob, as I got in, my eyes captured my babies in frightening form; their knees were crouched to their chests. I couldn’t help but weep silently as the scenario broke my break, I was torn to see them shivering, “Guys, are you both alright
42As I cut the call, my world felt like on earth and I finally could breathe freely; knowing my knight in shining armor was coming to rescue me and my family and for a moment I was the happiest person alive until the door knocked, We all stopped in our tracks and both of them snapped their neck towards me with furrow,I nodded and indirectly asked Ethan to check out, “Yes?” Ethan enquired, “Chico, open up,” The voice which I wanted to hear the least made its way to my ears, Ethan got up to open the door but I pulled him back, “What?” he questioned as he turned his head around, “Don’t open it just,” I hesitantly said, “What’s wrong?” he immediately turned into a pack of stress as I restrained him from opening the door, millions of questions pictured on his face, “I don’t wanna see his face right now,” that was the perfect excuse I could come up with, somehow it was true too, Ethan’s eyes were scanning my face to detect lie on my face, his eyes narrowed and fixated on me, “Budd
43Armando’s P.O.VI was leaning back by supporting my legs on desk, my eyes were stoned to the windows while I was mentally unavailable to the pool view. I had phone on my ear and just by then, The line connected and a man decided to speak up,“Hello… master, I was waiting for your call,” stated the person in British accent across the line with a hinge of taunt, it was him who I foolishly trusted for the first time under my leadership. Somehow, the realization made my lips curve faintly,“Still remember me as your master?” I sneered with whole hold of my hatred oozing out of my words. He had balls to mouth off with me knowing he betrayed me and stole my lover just to make my suffer, motherfucker played with fire“Of course, I do, master. Why wouldn’t I? Afterall, I was your saviour not for once, twice but thrice for a reason,” again his fucking taunting tone provoked me to hype up,“And you’ve been awarded for it--- maybe a little too much. I’m glad you remembered me as your master b
44 Lana’s P.O.V Morning I woke up when my ears picked birds chirping near my room’s window, I slowly squinted my eyes and looked to my right to figure out where sunlight was escaping from, and to my shock, the curtains were open which was rare to see, my eyes then focused to the clock which showed 11 in the morning, I huffed, sat straight on the bed and rubbed my head as I yawned and stretched my arms. After passing a good amount of time on relaxing my stretched muscles due to periods, I could finally feel myself in the air then immediately a shock of cramp hit me to strike me down. Ah, I hate periods! Suddenly my mind pictured last night’s scenario when Armando told me he’d permitted one of my friends to meet me because I was too heavy-hearted lately, he admitted that I was depressed by everything he did to me, but I didn’t trust him instantly, I had learnt a lot about his mind games, I investigated the main cause in the most indirect way possible but I should’ve known better th
45“Because I want to show people who you belong to,” He said with my left-hand in his hands. My God, his eyes were so heavy on me that I wasn’t even looking at him but my subconscious knew he was gazing at me… or lusting over and over. I was so nervous of us standing in this position, although I hated him to be romantic for me but I found no courage to stop him from whatever he was doing indirectly, Maybe this is termed as the power of marriage, I felt him coming closer to me and before I could step back to create space between us he placed his hand on my back to repel my force and keep me under his massive influence, I took a deep breath in the realization that I could feel his body warmth. His face was getting closer to my face; indicating to me sooner there would be no space left between them. Abruptly, my heart started to act weak,“You’re mine,” he whispered before hitting his hydrated lips softly on my forehead, I let out a breath of satisfaction when I realised he didn’t fal
