All Chapters of Her obsessed beast : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

In the bustling streets of Dublin a car was moving with a blasting speed. The car smelled of petrol and old leather, the kind that made your head feel heavy if you breathed too deeply. The little girl was wedged between the two men in the backseat, her small hands clenched into the hem of her dress, knuckles white. Her sobs were sharp and panicked, cutting through the low hum of the engine. "Momma! I-I want to go! My M-Momma!" Little Aria cried out painfully. She was so scared of the men beside her. She had never been with anyone except her momma, Nitya and her neighbouring friend Sophia. That was her small world. She knows no other person than them. Those really intimidating and unknown men scared her till her core. Even if she was so young she sensed the danger through their rough actions and forceful, tight hold. She just wanted to go and hide her momma's arms. "Suficiente." one of the men snapped, his voice low but edged with steel. (Translation: Enough.) She didn't

"No. You didn't do anything wrong. It's my people who made a huge mistake." he repeated more calmly. She relaxed slightly. "Will you keep them on timeout now?" She asked curiously. "What?" He asked not understanding her words properly. "Timeout- timeout, means punishment. My momma sometimes puts me on timeout if I trouble her and make any mistakes. She makes me stand facing the wall for a very-very long time." Aria explained like a theory so important, taught by the professor. Zavier looked at her and thought only if she knew what punishment he would be giving to the remaining men who made a huge mistake. So he nodded at her. "Yes I'll put them on timeout." He said which made her scrunch her nose. "Don't punish them, please. When momma punishes me I get tired and my feet hurt. Their feet will hurt too." She said with a small pout on her face. "Okay." He said he understood the task. "So… can you still help me? With my father? Can you find him please?" she asked hopefully blinki

Soon the elevator doors slid open without a sound. Zavier stepped out first, long coat draped over one shoulder, posture relaxed in the way only men who own the ground beneath them can afford to be. And Aria's curious gaze roamed everywhere. Soon the doors opened by his biometrics. When they entered inside, the penthouse doors finally closed behind them, the space felt different, too quiet, too pristine, too unprepared for a child's presence. Aria looked around with wide eyes because all she could see was darkness and she was scared of it. She just wanted to hide somewhere but her momma wasn't there to hide her in her embrace. She looked around and then she frowned, scooted a little closer to his feet. Her small hand clutched the fabric of his pants. He felt a gentle tight and looked down at her. "What happened?" He questioned. "It's big and so black. Dark. I'm scared." she whispered. "Yes. I'm here." he said. The penthouse lights activated automatically- soft, recessed i

Another day passed and Aria was still in Zavier's penthouse making it more lively and human. The darkness was still there but her light was erasing it gradually. The penthouse was feeling more like a home than a place with just furniture and walls. Zavier had lived a sufficient amount of time in the apartment with her and it was much more than his visits in the penthouse usually. She's been keeping him sane and rational since she entered his life. The penthouse had a rhythm now. Not a loud one. Not chaotic. But different from before. Morning light slipped through the sheer curtains, softer than the harsh glare Zavier usually allowed into his life. Somewhere down the corridor, a small voice hummed- tuneless, happy, completely unaware of the weight of the world it had been dragged into. He didn't apply any rules on her because she didn't need one. She doesn't trouble him or create any mess. She just silently does her work, sometimes drawing something on the sheets he provided for her

Daisy reached with Aria, out of their apartment building. As soon as Aria saw the familiar building, her eyes lit up. She remembered the park in which she used play and then the floor of her apartment. Daisy walked to the elevator with her and she obediently walked beside her. Daisy looked down at Aria, her eyes filled with pity and concern. She shouldn't have gone through all of it, at such a young age. Soon the elevator doors opened and they both stepped out together. The corridor outside Innara's apartment smelled faintly of disinfectant and old paint- too ordinary for a moment that felt like it might split the world open. Aria smiled as soon as she saw the door of her apartment. Daisy stood in front of the door, her hand hovering inches away from the bell. Aria clung to her leg, fingers curled tight into the fabric of her skirt, eyes wide and curious and tired all at once. She had fallen asleep in the car- in which Zavier ordered his men to take both of them to their home, wo
