Chapter 4 - one day to go

Chloe's POV

A Day To My Birthday

"Are you really going to give yourself to that bastard? He hasn't even called once to apologize!" Jayden said as he pushed the swing I was holding unto gently. 

It reminded me of how things where in the past, making me feel calm. We were on better terms after he brought me back from the mall and he had kept the secret from our parents, but I could tell he was fighting really hard to hold a lot of things back. 

"It's not his first time anyways, plus I promised and I don't have a choice either." I had thought about how things would be a thousand times over, but I didn't see anything changing. 

"What if things change? And he is no longer in the picture?" Jayden asked a little too seriously as he stopped pushing the swing. 

"Then I'd be grateful to whoever saved me and do anything they want, but I doubt that would happen, less than twenty four hours to go," I tapped my wristwatch as the loud revving of Shawn's Bugatti's engine entered through our front gate. 

"I will be going in then, I need to wear something more conservative before he comes in," I hopped off the swing and left him in silence. I heard Shawn slam the door of his car as I ran into my room to pick out a baggy sweatshirt. 

"Oh my dear, I'm sorry I had to leave you alone at the mall that day, I had something serious to attend to but I got you some flowers and some gifts to apologize," Shawn turned away from my parents to face me as I stepped down the stairs. 

"Thank you," I recieved them as my mom cood. 

"Aww, you're so kind young master Shawn. Our Chloe is so lucky to have you as her fiancé. Also, tomorrow is her birthday and I was wondering if-" my mom stoped intentionally after pushing the idea to him. 

"Oh don't worry about that. I already prepared a very grand night party at my family's hotel tonight because I plan to go on sightseeing later tomorrow."

"A party before the real day?"

"Yes, right, I bought my fiancee's parents some tickets to Hawaii, I heard it's your dream place to spend a vacation and I've prepared everything for a week's worth of time." He said as he handed them the tickets and their tones immediately changed. 

"You sure are full of surprises, you can party all you want, hehe."

"I hope there are no curfews? Because it's going to be an all night party and I'll come pick her up when it's six pm," he said and my mood further dampened. 

I thought I could spend this last day for myself, but that was ruined already. 

"Not at all, it's her birthday and you can do whatever you like with her, my husband and I will enjoy this gift. Lets go packing," my mum dragged her husband inside, leaving just me and Shawn by ourselves and I watched as his demeanor changed. 

"You bitch," he said with gritted teeth as he closed the distance between us. 

"I'm sorry about the other day," I apologized as I took a step back because I knew how bad things could get now that he had shushed my parents. 

"Oh, you better be sorry, because I won't be when I finally get to take what is mine tomorrow. Just watch and see and make sure you were the dress I bought you. Another of those sweatshirts and I will brand you so they are the only things you have to wear." He was awfully terrifying as he tipped my jaw up and forced a kiss on me. 

"Thank you, I'm sorry too." I apologized as I didn't see reason to fight him anymore. There was no longer any change for me to be saved. 

"Good girl," he slapped my cheek twice before turning away from me and heading out. 

I held my tears back as I took out the dress and walked up to my room to try it out. I was about to close the door when someone held it back and walked in behind me. 

"Jayden, I'm so scared," I lost it as I turned and hugged him. His hand wrapped around me as he hugged me back. 

"Then let me have you first," he said and I put some space between us. 

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused. 

"Don't you want to give him some sort of face slap when he realize that you are not who he thought you were?" He asked and while that made sense, I still couldn't accept it because it was too risky. 

"There's no guarantee that he would leave me alone then, plus it would affect the family. I know they are selfish, but I can't let them end up in jail because I don't like him," I said as I sat at the edge of my bed. 

"Why should you care?" He asked as he closed the door and followed after me. 

"Because they raised me. It's the least I can do to be grateful even though I hate it."

"Then did you like it when he kissed you like this?" Jayden tilted my jaw up and kissed me the way Shawn did earlier. He must have been watching. 

But there was a difference in the way I submitted this time. 

I have never wanted Shawn the way I wanted Jayden. 

"Or when he removed your sweatshirt at the mall and tied your hands like this, did you like any of it?" He asked as he removed my sweatshirt and tied my hand behind my back the same way. 

"I didn't like this then, but-"

"But you're wet for me now," he said as he pulled down my flair pants and spread my legs, "aren't you?"

I felt embarassed and tried to close my legs,but he knelt between them and I fell backwards. 

"I promise you that it would be gentle and it would be your best yet," he said and I believed him. 

"I know, but I'm not eighteen yet and unless I really don't have a choice, I don't want to give into this temptation, can't you just look away and give up on me?" I said as I watched him climb off the bed in anger, but it was for the best of the both of us. 

"This again? If this is truly what you want then, I will leave you, but I promise that I won't let you marry that bastard. I will find a way before you turn twenty one and make you mine instead."

"I'll be waiting," I said under my breath as I watched him storm towards my door.

"Won't you untie me?" I asked and he turned back. 

"You make it really hard for me to look away," he stole a kiss before walking out and I had no choice but to freshen up and start to get dressed.

Despite his bad attitude, Shawn was pretty serious about punctuality.
