The silence was unbearable when he left, she had seen the way he had looked at her. Something had flickered in his eyes, maybe it was her imagination but it got replaced so quickly for her to prove anything.She slumped on the massive bed, her knee aching so bad. She was tired and couldn't wish for anything but to be tucked away in her own bed, not in Nathan's.She tucked her knee close to her chest and her arms wrapped tightly around them as if that would shield her from the storm raging inside She had tried to escape the cruel reality only to end up here. “How stupid can you be, Leah" If she had her way, she would be far from the city now.And maybe then she could get her parents to listen to her but all that was ruined by Nathan. She turned to the window, was she thinking of escaping again! Her tears had slowed, but her chest still heaved with sharp, uneven breaths.Tired, she sank deeper into the bed. She should stay guided in case Nathan comes back again. She didn't trust him to
Leah's pulse hammered wildly as Nathan’s hand lingered on the car door, she felt wild fire as he stared at her. Every part of her wanted to resist, to run from the figure in front of her but her body betrayed her, she was trembling…not just from the cold but the nearness of him.Her eyes flickered back at Celine’s, her escape plan now fumbled. She felt bad for her, for dragging her into this hoped her father wouldn't blame her best friend for her own mischief. Her heart twisted, this was all Nathan's fault.“Get in the car, Leah!" his deep voice commanded again, this time sharper and colder. His eyes darkened, daring her to defy him and she knew she didn't have any other choice here either.“I don't belong to you! And stop acting as if I do" I allowed all the frustration to pour into my words, I want my words to hurt him so bad the way he was hurting me.“You already do, just that you haven't accepted the truth yet.” He smirked, causing her to flush even more in anger. “Now, get in" A
She lay awake in the dark, barely getting any sleep, fixing her eyes on the glowing diamond dress that shimmered like a curse in the dim light of her room. Her mum has suggested bringing it over to her room…. maybe it'll help her change her mind but in reality it only traumatized her.Every time she blinked her eyes close, she saw Nathan ‘s piercing green gaze glaring at her and she could hear his words echoing loudly in her mind.“From this moment on, you belong to me.”She tossed around on the bed uncomfortablely with her palms tightly over her ears as though shutting out his voice would silence the pull he had over her. But it didn't help, instead it made things worse for her, she was restless, angry and didn't want to spend anymore time staring at the shimmering dress in front of her.She cursed under her breath while she forced herself to keep calm just a few more minutes and the torment would be over. She couldn't wait any longer to be out of here, she felt trapped, caged despit

Leah slammed her bedroom door shut, with her heart pounding loudly against her chest. She had fought tears all throughout the evening, now she let loose and allowed the tears to come. Her body trembled heavily as she slumped on her bedroom floor.She pushed her knee against her chest then buried her face into her knee and wept. This wasn't part of her 22nd birthday wish she had for herself, she had all that figured out already and none of them had included being set up by her own parents.Leah wept even more as a wave of bitterness and anger swept over her. Her body trembled even more as she thought of Nathan, she wouldn't have imagined in her whole wide world that she'll be stuck with such a man.And this man….was painfully handsome, that was why he had chosen him last night. She hasn't been able to take her eyes off him last night, the way she was insanely drawn to him and had decided he was the perfect person she would sell her pride and virginity to.And now, she has to face the b
At dinner, it was like a cheerful roar of chatter and beneath her mother's endless rambling and fuss about wedding plans, Leah wondered if they ever cared for her happiness or had it been all their selfish desires all along.She clenched and fist and fought back tears, she could feel Nathan glare boring a hole through her forehead. She had been stupid, so stupid to cross paths with this man.Nathan leaned closer, his voice a low whisper only she could hear. “So, wife…tell me do you normally hook up with guys or what. Which do you prefer by the way?Leah almost choked on her wine. Shooting him a glare that was sharp enough to slice through glass. “You know the truth" she muttered under her breath, Nathan had been her first and the wrong one but why was he asking like he didn't know the truth.He chuckled, he loved tormenting her and she wished that she could jam her folk straight through his chest. She also wants to see him suffer but she was helpless as she stared at that pretty face
