My eyes slowly opened again, I saw no one in the room this time, the room was dark, I felt my hand soaked, I looked and saw Christian crying. I pulled my hand away from him and turned my head away."Sophie..." He called me."Why didn't you come?" I asked in a hoarse voice. "I was in the Church, when I heard your call I came as fast as I could but the moment I came you passed out." He said panting heavily."You were late... again." I said bitterly as it pricked both of us like a needle. I swallow the lump in my throat so as not to cry. I opened my mouth to say something but the door opened,"Your food."She served the food and left."Not gonna look at me?" he said as I shook my head 'no'. "Really?" He asked again and I shook my head again."Don't you even want to see my face?" He asked. I shook my head."Fine then.. if you don't want me to be with you." He said as he stood up."Go away!" I said clutching the clovers tightly. Please don't go. Stay.He began to walk and I shut my eyes as
We went home, it's been days since I went home but it feels like it's been years. I didn’t know when this place of horrors turned into a home but I am not complaining because I reside where my beloved does. Where he lives, I want to stay there till my last breath. To feel secure in his arms and never let them go, I want to stay with him. I want him and nothing else. We reached home, I kept looking out of the window lost in thoughts. The view outside seems so free but still I felt restricted and suffocated. As if some shackles are around my feet, taking me back to the cage of misery every time I try to break it. 'Can Christian eradicate this feeling of being defiled from me again? What if he broke saving me? He is in so much agony. When both of us are broken, who's gonna save whom? Would he ever want to touch my impure body?' My thoughts were interrupted when Christian shook my shoulder, my breath hitched as I stiffed, "Sophie.. no need to panic. We're home." He said gently, I
I curled my hands in a fist and stood under the shower. I let the water wash away this feeling but every drop of water that falls on my face made me even more miserable because I know the feeling is not leaving my heart.Only Christian’s call sucked this out from me but I don't want him to do it, it's intolerable for him. He cannot endure the same thing again- so do I.I walked out and wore my clothes. Christian was still sleeping so I decided to walk out. The moment I took a step out, I saw Gwen,"Good Morning Ma'am.”I just passed her a faint smile. Apart from Christian, I don't feel like talking to anyone and that sometimes applies to him. Sometimes, I just want to run to a deserted place and cry out loud and let out all this feeling of anguish."Ma'am, Your mother and brother are here." She informed me. I nodded and walked down and saw Mother and Eugene there.I hugged them and Eugene said,"Good to see you being discharged." I hummed in response as mother said,"Where's Christia
"Hey!" I heard a voice from behind me. The voice didn't startle me because I know it's Christian. I just remained motionless as he came closer and bent to my level."Good morning." He smiled. A smile also crept upon my lips,"Finally learned it?" I whispered."Thanks to you." He whispered back. He took a seat beside me as I put my head on his shoulder."Good morning..." I spoke feebly. He hummed in response."By the way, is this my shirt?" He asked. I nodded, he smirked and leaned in but not too close,"It's looking so cute on you. Tell me, do you intend to go to the office too?" He teased me. I kept staring at the floor not replying to him."Sophie." He called me again, I shot my head towards him."Yes?" He sighed and said,"Nothing, Come let's have breakfast. I also called your mother and brother." He pinched my nose this time, I pouted slightly, he stood up and offered me his hand,"Mother and Eugene both have left." I said also standing up but not taking his hand."Oh, They did? D
It's been a week, Christian is trying his best to obliterate this feeling but it seems like this is embedded deep into my soul giving me intense agony that is killing me up. The pools of agonizing pain are immersing me in it and I cannot save myself from it. It’s hard to overcome it.Still, I am trying to recover from it but it's so difficult each and every thing triggers the feeling of dread in me. Every action gives me apprehension. I am scared by every little thing. But, thankfully Christian is right beside me. I only feel safe when he is near me even if he went somewhere, I felt terrified. In his absence, all the apparitions I was trying to subdue overwhelms me, leaving me with the inability to bear it and fall deep into the labyrinth.Right now, we're sitting in the theater; of the house watching Frozen and I am holding his arms. We were watching as he got a call, he paused the movie as he attend the call,"Yes?" I looked at him. His expressions turned from calm to agitated as
The drive was silent and we stopped at his office. Elvis Empire, this place never ceases to intimidate me but having him by my side, I am fine. It's been a while since I came here. He opened the door for me, he held my hand, my cheeks heated up as we walked inside. People looked at us, their stares were at our hands. Just like the last time, his whole being was protective over mine.The lift was filled with too many people- again."Let's take the stairs." I whispered tugging on his sleeves."You know what floor my cabin is? Can you walk that much?" He inquired."I just don't want to go to a cramped place." I whispered again.He looked at me, my gaze was fixed on the ground but I could feel the looks of people."Fine." He sighed.We are standing at the stairs,"It's on the 45th floor. Are you sure you can walk that much?" He asked again."Let's see. If I get tired, then we can take the lift." I recommend it. He nodded as we began to climb stairs.I looked at his back and somehow, I f
"She lost her life, sir was devastated. After her death, Ma'am Merlin's behavior changed too, she turned rather prideful and arrogant and began to fight with every second person she met, including Sir Christian.”“But Sir never raised his voice against her, he always smiled whenever she argued, she sometimes pass heartbreaking comments that made him depressed, he used to ask for advice to make her happy, but things got out of hand and when he finally couldn't be able to bear her, he divorced her." She said with a smile. I wonder how much of this is true. Like she doesn't know why he and Merlin divorced. I smiled faintly, he is such a nice guy, he never let the world know that she cheated on him."After that, he was so depressed, he stopped smiling, turned cold as ice. He turned hollow after losing everything. It's been three years and finally, I have seen him smile genuinely. Sir is a great guy, I truly admire him, He has suffered a lot. I am glad he's finally happy." She finished.I
I kept looking at her and then I realized that Henley is also here. I turned my head and her eyes were shining like always in wonder. "You're the best!" She chirped. "Leave." I ordered strictly. "Oh, Yeah, Right." She said nervously, she stood up to leave but stopped at the door and winked. "Enjoy~" She said and left. I sighed, I was stunned. I bear that woman for 7 years, she is a drag. She is my most trusted employee. After she left, I turned my attention to Sophie again, she was looking down, her face was ruby. She was biting her lips, my heart skipped a beat looking at her like this, so tempting... "Christian.. You can let go.." She said feebly. I realized that I am holding her and she is still sitting on my lap. I was stiff, my desires burst looking at her like this. A sudden feeling of lust emerges from me, a dark desire to feel her rushed in my every vein. A yearn for her touch. A cravenness for her lips. My breath became harsh, my throat dries as it begged for the gra
