30I was beyond shocked and frightened to the core to even move an inch. My weak hands were shivering badly while my eyes were stoned to the face which I wished never to see again. “Hello again, my kitten” this voice which I feared the most was laced with pride that sent shivers down to my spine I couldn’t hold back my loud sobs and the first thing that clicked in my mind was to shout for help. Shout for Nathan. I ran towards the window, “HELP! Please anybody help me, NATHAN HE-” the moment I shouted out for him I felt a tight fist clutching my hair from behind and I shrieked in pain. He came closer to me till his body touched my back, “The only name that your mouth should remember is MINE. Enough of this hide and seek, kitten, I’m tired of waiting and chasing you behind so don’t make it more challenging for me now otherwise that fucking nobody will bear all the consequences you will buy,” he whispered aggressively, his nose was nuzzled in my hair while he kept fanning his hot bre

32 Nathan’s P.O.V“Nathan, ask guards if she has already left the mansion? It’s almost time for you guys to appear on stage” Claire gingerly whispered in my ear while I was attentively busy in tying my tie, I side-glanced her from the mirror and found her as a pack of anxiety, her fingers were slightly crossed together and the cold sweats that were forming on her forehead clearing indicating me about some of her serious fears of apprehension.That made me a slight panic too, I know that little one is all to herself in that mansion and I was concerned about her safety and her current sentiments too. Melissa told me that she wanted to be alone with her because of all what-if thoughts she was assuming and Mel will help her calm a little down, after that, I’ll do it. I’m gonna make the first night heaven for her, she deserves it. All my love she deserves.“My Angel, Just feel anxious about the ceremony and vows and let me give the best I can offer” my heart wanted to coo herI made sure

34The silence on my lips was eating me out. Was being forcefully married to this man and allowing him to touch me without my consent even considered as legal? I wasn't asked for it in the first place, neither did I ever want to be here, he savagely broke me to sign up for an infernal life with him and made me question my fate again. This all occurred on the points and basis of guns and threats, not with love or honest feelings. This all is bullshit. I finally gathered some courage to resist him while he still was pinned to my back in that same shirtless position, "Armando, I'll only say it once, let. go. of. me. You had used me enough and there's no more chance I'm gonna let you rule me, do not assume me to be like that stupid Lana you used to know before anymore," this moment I clearly prepared him for a straight refusal, I would never be used to of his touch whether how good he becomes or how heartless he acts, I'll always reject him because he's nothing more than my rapist and a

36Warning: This Chapter Includes Excessive Foul Language, Please Read It At Your RiskArmando’s P.O.V I shut the file I was holding in my hand and placed it on the front table, while still being in the conference room, I closed my eyes and exerted a sigh loudly. After dismissing the meeting, I was only forward to be lost in the thoughts of the girl whom I terribly fell in love with where she didn’t give a fuck about it. The one who made me crazy like an obsessive freak, why the fuck would she care about it? Mind threw some dirt at me After all, I’m just a manwhore for her, maybe I’m still acting the same idiot to her because there’s no such positive change in her behaviour towards me but I had noticed further distance between us.Why the fuck should she consider your feelings for her? You forced her to have sex with you. she did the right thing to leave you and have fallen with Nathan, Now, bear it chipmunk. My mind scolded “How could she fall for him? What does that worthless h

38“What did you say?” Armando asked me with surprise plastered on his face and a bit of curve on the lips, “Say it again, I want to hear,” he added after pressing my shoulders with his fingers. All I could feel was him forcing me to submit to him, It had been so frustrating to me for not marrying the man I loved, Instead of dealing with my rapist “I-I didn’t mean that to say, It was a tongue-slip,” I elucidated “Kitten, don’t hide yourself to me, I can see through all the intensity you’re hiding from me for a long time,” he politely mumbled, his thumb laid on my chin and pulled up to make me meet his eyes.Coming closer to my left cheek, he whispered, “Let’s not be tough with each other anymore,”“Stop! Stop forcing me to feel for you, why don’t you see what you did to me? Instead of giving me a mental break, you keep pushing me to my limits, Stop it, Armando, I’m done with your games!” I pulled back and hastened to leave the room to avoid the aftermath I created by yelling, As I
