Monster ?

"You shot him. You killed him. You are a monster," she screamed.

"Princess, he was late; you saw that; I had no choice...", he stated, trying not to lose his composure after hearing the word she used for him, "MONSTER."

"Even if he was late, you can't take anyone's life," she said, attempting to back away as he tried to touch her hand.

"Calm down, Inez, take a deep breath, and don't cry."

"Please... open this rope; it's hurting a lot," she begged, her whole body in pain from the chloroform, and her eyes were red and puffy.

She was pale since she had been tied to the rope for six hours. He peered into her eyes and released her.

As soon as Damien opened her arms and legs, Inez slapped him and stood up, attempting desperately to escape the room.

Inez's hands were like a young child's in front of Damien; he didn't get hurt; it was like a light pat for him, but his attitude and ego definitely got hurt; she hit him in front of his people. He felt sorry for Inez and opened her rope, but instead of being thankful to him, she did this.

She slapped him right in front of his men.

"Get out and close the door, was his one command, and every person in the room was gone, leaving only two, wherein Inez was standing in front of the closed door, screaming at them to unlock it.

Damien walked slowly towards her and stood behind her, gripping both of her wrists with his hand, then placed his chin on her neck from alongside and inhaled her fragrance.

"Now you're mine by hook or crook, and you've made another huge mistake, Princess," he adds, massaging his hands.

He was both disgusting and aggravating; she never imagined herself in this circumstance. She had always dreamed of living peacefully, but now she is kidnapped by the Mafia King.

She closed her eyes and felt an unidentified sensation in her body. She was like a little cat who was destined to be lion meat.

"I am sorry, Please..." she whispered, trembling in his arms.

"Enough more words and I'll put all the bullets inside your hollow head," he said,his jaw was clenched, grasping a fistful of her hair. He opened the door and dragged her, her entire body became numb, and she kept begging him to leave her hair.

"It's hurting...it's hurting, please… stop...stop"

"You should have considered all of this before slapping me, and now you see what I do to you."While gritting his teeth,his aura was screaming danger, he continued pulling her till he came to a halt in front of the black door room.

He pushed open the door and lifted her onto his shoulder. He entered the dark room and flung her on a king size bed.

"Now I'll show you who I am, bitch."

"Natalia, she has been missing for the last Six hours," Sara said over the phone to Inez's best friend.

"Sara, tell me where she went and why she isn't at home,It's 9 P.M she always informed you naa? "Why isn't she picking up the phone?" Natalia panicked.

Sara broke down, "Natalia! I'm not sure where she is. I went to the police station to make a missing person's report, but they refused. I know who did this, but I can't do anything,she was so terrified of him and this happened, and I'm not sure what I should do, Natalia."

"Wait, what do you mean, has she been kidnapped?"

Sara said while sobbing and pacing back and forth, "Yess, that restaurant guy, that businessman, he kidnapped her, he wanted her to spend the night with him but she refused and this happened."

"Wait, do you know his name?"Natalia enquired.

"Yes, she is very dangerous. Kate's father works for him; dem... Demian; he is Damian Knight", she recalls.

"Oh my god...What happened when you two first met, and why would he abduct her?"

"In-In front of everyone..she k-kissed him", Sara said Remembering the incident.

"What ??Are you kidding me? Sara,he is not an ordinary man; if you are playing around, stop"

"We gave her the dare to kiss him, but we had no idea who he was, thus it was a mistake…Yes, we know and I know that it was our mistake."

"How can you bloody fucking idiots do this kind of things with an unknown guy?"Natalia shouted in irritation hearing her hiccups.

Sara apologized profusely and said, "Listen, Natalia, I really am sorry."

Natalia replies angrily, "Fuck stop sobbing Sara, I gave you one responsibly and you failed, let me see what i can do."

"Yes, thank you, but please don't tell her parents."

Stop worrying; she will be okay, I'm not as stupid as you, Natalia adds as she hangs up the phone.

Little did Sara know Natalia would never call Inez's parents even if she would die…

SAN MARCO CHURCH,MILAN, ITALY

"In the name of God, I, Ethan Alberto , take you, Sophia Silvester, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow.",with loving and admiring eyes she took the vow.

As she made the commitment to devote her soul and all of her love to the person she doesn't even know, she closed her eyes and allowed tears to fall.

After all, no one will be able to see her tears through the veil. She was deeply hurt, despite her repeated Pleading for them to save her from marriage, they refused.

As soon as the priest said, "Congratulations, the groom can now kiss his wife," Ethan took off her veil and gently rubbed her cheeks. As if he hadn't noticed her tears, he leaned in closer, appearing to kiss her on the lips, but the reality was that he had pecked her on the cheek. The church erupted in cheers.

When Sopia opened her eyes after shocked by his actions, the soothing and alluring smiling face was there, and the only thing she could come up with was.

"Thank..yo..you"

After the marriage ceremony, family members proceeded to get the newlyweds to their new home.

Ethan's mother made fun of her one and only son by saying, "Son, take your little wifey home carefully, she is damn delicate."

"We're leaving then, okay mom," he winks playfully.

It was common between the son and mother to make fun of each other and today his mother wasn't leaving a single chance to tease him. What he didn't understand was that her mother had planned something horrible for his delicate Wife.

Everyone laughed upon hearing his mother's "Good night, have a great night" greeting.

As he sat in the driver's seat, he said, "Good night," as his life partner was sitting to his left, quietly shutting her eyes.

"Sopia...", trying to communicate he starts soon his eyes land on her face while she is sleeping.

They arrived in front of a magnificent villa close to the beach in just fifteen minutes. She was soundly asleep when he pulled over. He didn't want to wake her up, so he opened the door by her side, picked up Sofia in a bridal Styleand entered his room, which was decorated with roses and calla lilies. After admiring the decorations, he went over to the bed and laid her asleep body down while giving her a forehead kiss and keeping his gaze on her innocent face.

"There's no doubt ,God takes away the better person from us because he has already made some of the bestest for us."

He does not know what his future holds, but he was confident that this time around he will remain devoted to and respectful of his one and only life partner. In his eyes, the relationships in the past—along with the mistakes he made in them—do not matter; instead, he should be concentrating on his wife, who is currently in bed with him.

He paused once more to check on his sleeping Beauty as he moved in the direction of the bathroom to change into new clothing. He entered the restroom with a small smile.

For the previous fifteen minutes, he had been having a shower to ease his muscles when he heard the sobbing voice coming from the bedroom.

"Noo...dad...no no no please don't take him away from me i want him....you already snached my love....i can live my life alone with my baby....*loud sob*... please leave us alone"

Wearing his bathrobe ,he opened the door With a loud thud and went towards the bed,she was looking scared and her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Sophia...Sophia wake up, I am here...doll..i am here",he patted her face lightly.

She Opened her eyes with fear in her eyes. Both their eyes met,she blinked multiple times.

"I am here....relax..are you ok?",he said with concern with his voice as her tears rolled down on her cheeks.

"Where am I?"She asked with an inaudible voice.

He sat next to her, water streaming from his hair, and murmured, "You are with me,your husband... it's our room".

She hastily backed away when he tried to touch her cheek because she was afraid her sense of loss would show in her eyes. He nervously looked to the other side of the room and put his hands on his thighs gently rubbing his clothing.

He again looked at her and biting his lips he said, "I wasn't going to kill you," in an attempt to make her laugh, but her response made him freeze in place.

"Please kill me; I don't want to live this life with no purpose; all the things that made me happy are gone."
