Chapter 14
Jenny’s POV
My own shot at happiness just got replaced by a life time of more suffering and pain.
It was nothing new really. The only thing that will be new is the man who will take over from my father and uncle, and become the new master of my misery.
Alex Snow.
That man will make my life a living hell. Especially after my father’s betrayal and his hand in getting Isaac Snow killed.
He will take out all his anger and rage on me.
My death wish will probably be granted sooner rather than later.
I collapse on the floor and break into hard long sobs.
My mom goes to my bathroom, takes a clean towel, and kneels down next to me to stop the bleeding from the deep knife cut on my collarbone.
As she presses lightly, I sob louder, my pain mixing with my torment.
She cries along with me but doesn’t say anything to calm me down.
She lets me cry for a long time as she works on my wound.

Jenny’s POVWe ride in complete silence on our way back to my new prison/hell, his family house.After the marriage ritual was over, we simply headed out of the church, Alex ordered me without even glancing my way “Get in the car”And I followed his order like the good obedient girl I promised I would be until I get mom out of town. After that, I don’t fucking care what happens to me.He and my uncle exchanged a few words I couldn’t hear as Alex moved my two huge suitcases into the back of his SUV, then we drove off alone.My insides were churning with anxiety. I clutched my hands on my small black purse very tightly to keep them from shaking and give away how extremely scared I really was.I kept my head turned towards the window and refused to spare him the slightest glance.Just a few minutes before we reach his home; which was a little far from the heart of the town, my stomach made an embarrassing ru

Alex’s POVI knock on the front door and wait for Sara to open it.I look at Jennifer from the corner of my eye, she composed herself and wiped away all the disdain and resentment from her face as she wore a rather blank expression.She was slightly still shaking as I looked down at her hands which were clenched tightly at her sides.Per my command, she kept her eyes down the entire time.Sara opened the door with a slight smile and backed away to let us in.I walk inside with her following behind me.I go right, round the corner and enter straight into the family living room where mom, April, Lucas, David, and Mathew were gathered.They all stood up as we entered the room.“This is Jennifer, she will be living with us from this moment onward as my wife” I simply said and looked at each one of them.The only person I told about my decision before heading out this morning was my mother.I h

Jenny’s POVAs soon as Sara closed the door to Alex’s room, I heard someone shout in rage, and I slightly flinched at the unexpected high sound.“Are you out of your freaking mind Alex? Why the hell did you bring that asshole’s daughter here?”If I had to guess who that voice belonged to, I’d go ahead and say it was Lucas. Judging from the look of pure hatred he was directing at me in the living room, he was not so happy with me moving in here, apparently.That whole introduction in the living room freaked the hell out of me.I was more than glad to leave and come to this room where no one can do anything to me, well, except for Alex.I couldn’t help but notice that the person who killed my father wasn’t in the room. It was finally confirmed, it must have been Jacob, the middle son.My gut told me they must have sent him away to protect him. Since I knew he was the murderer, they assumed

Jenny’s POVAfter an hour inside the walk in closet, I finally finished unpacking.I sneaked a look at Alex’s clothes, just out of curiosity.There wasn’t a single light colored item in there. It was mostly black, grey, and dark blue.I took out my medical bag; which was the last thing left inside one of the suitcases, and headed out into the bedroom.My bag should be accessible easily at anytime so it would have to be somewhere close. It used to be on my nightstand in my old room, next to my bed.I had no idea where I will be sleeping, but his bed was off limits for so many reasons.I opted to put it on the dresser instead.Just as I placed it, my phone rang on the table.My stomach rolled and heaved at the name I saw displayed on the screen.It was Simon, my cousin.I refused the call immediately, went to my contacts, and blocked his number.I had no idea why he was calling me and

Jenny’s POVIf I wanted more proof that this was going to be my own personal hell, it’s staring down at me now in the form of roast beef.I hate nothing more than that meal. I’m not a red meat person. Minced meat is okay, in addition to chicken , but large thick pieces of cooked meat cannot physically go down my throat.I had to gulp down every single bite with water. And even that was proving difficult, because I was feeling nauseous for eating something I dislike so much.I couldn’t speak and say I don’t want to eat it, because I hate it. It would be rude. And Alex would be pissed off and take it out on me. I’d rather piss him off over something more worthy than that.If someone notices my weird eating behavior, no one comments on it. I wouldn’t know though, because I never lifted my eyes further than my plate.Despite the small piece I scooped into my plate, it never seemed to end, no matter how m

Jenny’s POV*An hour ago*I resisted the urge to slam the door to Alex’s room loudly after I stormed out of that dining room.I was so pissed off at him for making me sit through dinner when I wanted nothing more than to leave it.You just wait two more days Alex Snow, I’ll show you what it’s really like trying to control me.I pace back and forth, trying to empty all my negative feelings.My body was still hurting all over but the dominant pain at this point was my collarbone cut.I grab my pajamas from the closet and head towards the bathroom.I take off the dress I was wearing all morning and gasp in fright at the sight of my naked body.If I thought I looked like a zombie at dawn, I was so wrong.Now, I’m officially a god damn zombie.All my bruises turned from red or light blue, to dark purple.It was dreadful to look at.I removed my bandage and took a look

Alex’s POVAfter splashing my face with ice cold water for like ten times, I finally calmed down.I mean I kind of knew what I signed up for when I asked for her specifically, but I didn’t think she would get that much under my skin.And it was only the first fucking day.I still didn’t get my answer about Jacob.I have to make sure if she’s going to say anything later on or continue to keep her mouth shut, so I can have Jacob come back to town again.I’ll give it a few more days, then get my answer out of her, no matter what it takes.I get out of the bathroom, and I instantly see her flinch a little.She was still sitting in the same spot.She was back to being scared again. She was clenching her hands tightly in her lap and her gaze was shifting between the bed and the floor.What is it now?I checked the table and saw the water bottle half drained. At least she accepted the

Jenny’s POV“Aren’t you going to invite me in Jenny?” says Simon with a slight smile.Bile rises in my throat, and my stomach turns when he called me Jenny, like we’re fucking close!“No actually I’m not, Simon. What are you doing here anyway?” I say coldly.Judging by his lack of surprise when I opened the door instead of my mother, indicated that he was watching the house, and saw me the instant I walked in.That caused the hair on my arms to stand.His playful smile drops as he speaks seriously “I need to talk to you”I snap at him “I have absolutely nothing to talk to you about”As I proceed to close the door in his face, he puts his hand against it and pushes his way inside.“What the hell Simon? get out!“ I yell at him while still standing at the opened door, as he rudely limps his way inside with a crutch, totally ignoring me.
