Chapter Twenty two

Ariel thought Alaska was going to leave her room after what he did but he remain on the bed sitting down. 

“What are you still doing here?” She asks him after changing into another cloth. 

“What did you mean? This is my estate and my house. I can stay wherever I want” he ignores her. 

He had come to the room to make her eat something; he wouldn’t leave if she did not eat. He wanted to force her to eat before, but after what had happened, he believes it will be too cruel of him to force her to eat. 

Alaska had call Sissy to clean up the wasted food and get another one. 

“Don’t you want to lock me in anymore?” Ariel wanted him to leave. She still felt wrong about him seeing part of her body up close. 

Alaska ignores her, Ariel sigh.

“You can stay all you want” she lay down on the bed pretending she wanted to sleep. 

“You have to eat!” Alaska tells. 

“It is my stomach and my body. I can do whatever I like” 

Since Alaska tells her it’s is his estate and house he can stay wherever he wants, she decides to throw the statement back right at him. 

“You cannot! I own your body. I own everything” 

He pulls her up from the bed and looks at her face threateningly. Ariel frowns, she hates the fact that he keeps claiming her body and saying he owns her. 

“How dare him?” she thinks as she stares at his face, she dares not voice it out. 

To Alaska, he believes that since he had paid Jack for her, he indeed owns her and her body. 

Since Alaska believes he owns her and her body, Ariel decides to let him do whatever he wants. Sissy knocks and bring in another set of food, drops it and leaves the room. 

“You should eat” Alaska said with a gentler voice. Ariel smirked and fold her hands to her chest staring at him. Since he wanted her to eat then he will have to force her to eat like he forced her into the marriage. 

Alaska looks at her behaving stubbornly with him, he knows that if she had been a man he would have shown her the stuff he was made of. 

“Are you trying to prove stubborn with me?” he let out an evil grin. Ariel feels a little scared seeing his evil grin but she knows she cannot back down. She ignores him and keeps staring at him without reacting. 

Alaska knew she was going to keep up the attitude, he looks at her determined face, grab her and pulls her to himself. Ariel lands on his chest without warning which scares her, she stares shockingly at him. 

“Do you think you can be stubborn with me?” he looks into her eyes and let out another evil grin. Ariel’s heart beats fast with their body closer, Alaska knows her weakness and that is what he was going to use. 

“Will you eat now or I will eat you”

He shifts his gaze at her pink small lips staring at them lustfully like he will devour them at any time, he draws closer to her threatening to kiss her. 

“I will eat!” she let out afraid that he will indeed kiss her. Alaska looks to her face and could see how scared she is. He smirked, he already knew she will not want him to kiss her. 

“Don’t you say you are not eating?” he decides to tease her by making more moves on her as he was still holding her to his body. 

“I said I… will eat” she quickly tries to get away from him. Alaska decides to let her go; he was not intending to kiss her either, it was just to scare her to eat. He was going to return her back to Jack after a year so he believes there should be no entanglement. 

Ariel stares at the food and sigh repeatedly, she knew she had no choice now than to eat the food. 

“Did you still want to protest?” 

Hearing that, she picks up the spoon reluctantly but could not lift it to her mouth. 

Alaska sigh. 

He takes the spoon from her and decides to feed her, since she doesn’t want to eat the food then he will feed her. 

Ariel looks stunned as Alaska suddenly grab the spoon from her wanting to feed her. She looks at him questionably. 

“I will feed you” he tells her and move the spoon towards her mouth. 

Ariel feels angry, she wasn’t a baby, why should he feed her? 

“I will eat with my own hands”

“No, you will not!” he had enough of her stubbornness. Is either he feeds her or force her. 

Ariel looks angrier, she could see Alaska was been serious about feeding her. She was locked up and now he was forcing her against her will. She looks fed up with his imposing ways, tears threaten to fall from her eyes. 

“Why are you doing all of these to me?” she feels frustrated about her life. 

Alaska feels that she was trying to manipulate him with her teary eyes. He will not allow her starve herself in his house. 

“You are not allowed to starve yourself in my presence and you are not allowed to die until the election is over” 

Ariel smirked.

“So, it was because of the election?” 

Alaska did not answer her and shove the food in her mouth as she talks, she had no choice but she chewing the food while shedding tears. He did not allow her tears to bother him and keep feeding her the food since she is bent on starving herself. 

Any time Ariel wants to refuse, Alaska will threaten to kiss her so she will eat from his hand. As the process goes on, Ariel finds herself looking forward to Alaska feeding her like she was enjoying it. 

She had stop crying and keep looking at his face as he feeds her. She was actually hungry but she wanted to starve herself to prove he did not own her like he said. She continues to eat from his hand without refusing anymore. 

Alaska feeding her like a child brought back memories of her childhood in the orphanage. Then, she had to learn to eat her food by herself even though she doesn’t know how to feed very well. She never enjoys the privilege of been fed by her mother. 

With Alaska feeding her now, she thinks she gain back the privilege, she stares at Alaska’s face who was really immersed in make sure she eats and carefully feed her.

“He might not really be that bad” Ariel thinks.
