Chapter seven

Ava waited for him to reply to her offer but he ignored her and continued with his task, she sighed and repeated, “let me help you.”

“Sleep,” his voice was soft but also authoritative.

Ava was annoyed by the tone he spoke to her with, “I was only offering to help.”

“I didn’t ask for it,” he replied.

“Of course,” she scoffed, looking at the ceiling in anger, “you leave me tied up all night and you returned with a bullet wound and with all the goodness in me, I am offering to help you treat your wound but no, you did not appreciate it, you talk as if you are the O’ God almighty, no one can talk to you, no one can help you. But you know what?” she glared at him, “you can die for all I care, at least it would free me from your clutches, so why don’t you just drop dead?”

With all the things she was saying, the man beside her didn’t flinch or bothered to reply to her, he just continued to wrap a bandage on his wound and round his torso. The fact that he ignored her infuriated Ava more, she was used to men bowing to her when she was angry and rushing off to do whatever she had wanted them to do but this man was changing everything she knows of. He ties her up and he lives as if she doesn’t exist and it annoys her more that she even cares.

“I wish you are dead,” she spited out, “I wish whoever that gave you that wound had hit your heart instead, in fact, I wish you don’t even survive the wound by morning, then maybe you can finally go meet the devil you so claim to be. I wish you don’t even live to see the light of tomorrow.”

“Tantos deseos y sin embargo, ninguno va a suceser. No es una perdida de tiempo, cariño?” he said as if all she was saying made no sense to him. “So many wishes and yet none is going to happen. Isn’t that a waste of time, honey?” He didn’t even bother to look at her as he packed all the tools back into the box.

The fact that she couldn’t understand what he said made Ava curious and slightly angry, “what did you just say?”

He looked at her then and stood up, “be prepared, you will be delivered tomorrow evening,” he said and walked into the bathroom.

What? Ava thought, before she could understand what he meant, he was already out of her sight and she waited patiently for him to emerge again and when he did, she wasted no time in asking, “to who?” He said nothing and approached her on the bed, at first, she became afraid of what he would do but he only pushed her to the side and climbed into the bed, “hey, I’m talking to you,” she shouted but he ignored her, “are you trying to leave me tied up all night? My wrists and ankles are already numb; the least you can do is untying me!”

“Shut up,” he ordered.

“Don’t tell me to shut up, you shut up, you have to untie me. I have been tied up since you left; the least you can do is allow me some moment of freedom. I haven’t even showered for the whole day, you know what? You are the worst captor of all times.”

The man on the bed growled in anger and turned to her, his black eyes were darker than the night itself and Ava felt goosebumps appear on her skin and her lips tied up together immediately, “one more word from you, cariño and I will tape your mouth,” he threatened.

She didn’t need him to say it twice to know he would do it, he had done it before after all, she licked her lips, her blue eyes locked with his black ones, “I want to use the bathroom,” she squeaked out.

The man before her scoffed, shaking his head softly and looking away from her, “unbelievable,” he whispered.

“Don’t be like that, you have left me immobilized all evening, I want to shower, I want to clean up and also I am hungry, you brought me here, you should know that I am your responsibility.”

It all happened in seconds and he was on top her and her eyes widened in shock, “listen to me dulce, I am a killer, a kidnapper, an assassin, I am all the bad things in this world, even more than you can think of and only few that I’m not and one of them is a babysitter, I don’t babysit, okay? So don’t you tell me you are my responsibility because frankly you are not. If your owner had been in town tonight, trust me, you wouldn’t have been here and I wouldn’t have to deal with your radio of a mouth. I am tired and I need my rest, the last thing I would want is you buzzing in my ear like a mosquito and if you continue that, I will treat you like I treat all buzzing insects, I would shoot of the wings from you and then I will kill you, is that understood?”

Ava clenched her teeth in anger, in all her life, she had never met a man that disrespect and insult her like he does and she just wish she would be given a gun to put a bullet in his head. She had never felt the urge to kill anyone in her life before but right now, she wants to end the life of the man lying on top her and it hurts her that she was at his mercy but one thing was for certain, she would never make it easy for him, “fuck you,” she spited out, “fuck you asshole.”

The man on top her smiled and looked down on her chest, she was still wearing her nightwear from the previous night, “with pleasure,” he moaned and then looked at her, “come to think of it, I haven’t had a woman in a long time and the last one I had, I killed her while still in her.”

What he said formed a disgusting image in her mind and she screamed at him, “you are a fucking asshole.”

“All this fuck word from your mouth is turning me on and in case you don’t know, I would gladly fuck your pussy and you will have no say about that. Now if you don’t want that to happen, take me advice, think again before you say fuck one more time.”

“You wouldn’t try any rubbish.”

“Dare me,” he urged, their eyes locked in a battle.

Ava knew already he was a crazy man and her heart was telling her that he would do just as he said and she wasn’t ready to see if he can really do it. Its one thing if he tied her up in his bed and another if he actually has sex with her and that she would never take. No matter how attractive he may look, being intimate with him is one thing she would never do. And so to save herself, she made no mention of the F word again.

“Buena niña,” he smiled and patted her cheek, “good girl,” “but I wished you hadn’t listened to me, it would have been a fun night, I’m sure your owner wouldn’t have mind me having a taste of you first,” he grinned, the first real reaction she had gotten from me and it scared her just as it proved to her that he would have done what he said he would. He fell on the bed beside her with his eyes closed and he paid no attention to her again while she stayed awake, fuming in anger and thinking of what to do to get back at him.

A thought occurred to her to kick his wound and make it bleed again but he had her tied up, it would have been a perfect get back but she didn’t lose hope, when he finally lets her loose, she would still do it, she would never forgive him for this night until she inflict a pain on him.
