"Adeline, wait!"
Adeline halted as he heard a deep voice behind her. She had no desire to talk to him.
Maybe I should ignore his call and keep walking. Then he'll go away, she thought.
It wasn't like she intended to hate him from the beginning. She didn't even know she existed. It wasn't even until Tracy told her about him and what he did to her. She grew to detest him even before she met him. And when she saw him for the first time, her hatred only grew bigger.
At first glance, he was extremely good looking. He was tall, lean, and muscular with tanned skin and dark brown hair. And when he smiled at her, his piercing blue eyes twinkled with humor, and dimples teased his cheeks. His smile was dangerous enough to sweep any girl off their feet.
No wonder Tracy fell for that, Adeline thought bitterly.
She yelped as she suddenly felt someone grabbing her arm and yanking toward them forcefully.
"Hey! Let go!" Adeline cried. "You can't just grab a girl like that," she hissed.
"I can, and I did. What the hell is your problem? Why are you avoiding me?" Damien asked. He looked more curious than angry.
"I don't want to breathe the same air as you, that's why. Now let go. I have to go to lunch," Adeline tried to pull her arm free, but his grip was strong.
"Good, it's my lunchtime too, so you're coming with me," Damien announced and pulled her away from the cafeteria.
"Hey! Stop it! I don't want to go with you," Adeline protested and tried to stay in place. There was no way she'd go with him.
Damien paused and stared at her intently, still not letting go of her arm. "Alright then, since you aren't going to walk with me, you leave me no choice," he said gruffly.
"What do you mean walk..."
He suddenly grabbed her waist and picked her up, then threw her on his shoulder like a sack of rice.
No way...
She thought in disbelief as he carried her somewhere. He was kidnapping her in front of students at the cafeteria. Someone will come to her rescue, right?
No one did. Some of the students glanced in their direction and went back to their food like it was nothing. What the hell was wrong with these kids?
"Put me down, you imbecile! What do you think you're doing?" Adeline flailed around and punched his back, but all she did was hurt her own knuckles while he kept walking like he didn't feel a thing.
"I am carrying you outside since you refused to walk with me like a good girl," Damien remarked.
"Like a good girl? Who do you think you are?" Adeline cried.
"Damien Sky, at your service. Now shut up until we reach our destination. We are going right outside, inside the school perimeter, so no need to cry bloody murder. I'm not going to hurt you," he said.
He didn't lie when he said they weren't going far. He put her down right behind the school cafeteria building. A single table stood on the ground. It was quiet, away from the school crowd.
He put her down on top of the table and leaned forward to look into her eye. "Told you I wasn't kidnapping you. See? We are right outside," he smiled.
"Fuck you. This is still kidnapping, jackass," Adeline sneered. She could hardly contain her anger. She wanted to scratch his pretty face.
"Alright, I used force. Only because you refuse to talk to me," he declared.
"I am not obligated to talk to you," she said.
"I get that, but there must be a reason why you hate me so much. As far as I know, today's your first day here. Have we met before? Did I do something to you?" Damien asked. He looked genuinely confused, so Adeline decided to reveal the truth.
"Remember Tracy Smith?"
"Err...who?" Damien looked genuinely confused.
"TRACY! She was a freshman last year when you were a junior. Tall, blond, curvy with big brown eyes?" Adeline cried.
"Tracy, Tracy, Freshmen....oh!" Damien's eyes brightened at the recollection. "Tracy with giant boobs?" he chuckled.
"You're disgusting, but yes. That Tracy," Adeline said irritably.
"What about her?" he asked.
"She is my cousin, and you screwed her over!" she glared at him.
"More like screwed her, and she loved it," Damien smirked.
"Stop being an asshole!" Adeline pushed him, but he didn't budge. "What about Tracy?" Damien asked.
"She is my cousin! You slept with her and then ignored her right away. Don't you care about her feelings at all?" Adeline groaned. Damien looked like he had no remorse. This conversation was not going well.
"Tracy should've known what she was getting into. Everyone knows I don't do relationships, so if I sleep with a girl, it's a one-time thing," he said nonchalantly, making her blood boil.
"She was a virgin," Adeline tried to get through to him. Tracy is like a sister to her. At first, she didn't tell anyone about Damien. She stayed in her room all day and cried silently. Her mother called Adeline in an attempt to cheer her up. When Adeline came inside Tracy's room to check on her, she was shocked. Her room was a mess, and she looked like she hadn't slept for days. All because of some guy.
"She had to change school because of you. You made her fall into depression," Adeline insisted.
"I didn't make her do shit. Jeez...chicks are so dramatic. It wasn't like I raped her or anything. She was more than willing to get a taste of Damien Skye, and I figured, why the fuck not? And now she wants me to date her just because? Fuck that noise," Damien declared. He was starting to sound angry, but Adeline ignored it.
"You should've walked away when you found out she was a virgin. Why won't you be with her anyway?" she asked him.
"She is not my type," he replied.
Not his type? He just wanted to use her. Adeline thought, and anger bubbled inside her.
"Tracy is beautiful," she said.
"Sure. That doesn't change the fact that I only wanted her body. She was just like any other girl. A toy I can play with. And when I am done, it's time to go," Damien said and smiled cruelly.
Adeline couldn't handle it anymore and let her anger get the best of her. She raised her hand and swung at his disgusting dimpled face.
SMACK!Damian looked shocked at first as Adeline's hand landed on his cheek, but then, his lips twisted into a grin.The girl got fire inside, and he liked that. It'll be more fun to try and tame her."What are you smiling about, asshole? Do you think this is a joke?" Adeline was fuming."No, I don't. And I dare you to hit me again, " he said and grabbed her hand. "Go ahead. Use your other hand to hit me again and then see what happens," he said in a low and menacing tone.Adeline shivered. Amusement suddenly disappeared from Damien's eyes, and it was replaced by darkness. He had stopped playing with her. He was starting to get angry.But
Adeline liked her new school despite the unpleasant encounter with that jerk, Damien. Everyone else seemed nice. Even the girls in her classes were friendly.Girls in her old school never liked her and always made snide remarks about her looks. They were angry about all the attention she received because of it. They called her a slut behind her back, just because she had a nice body. It wasn't like she wanted the boys to lust over her! She never even understood what the big deal was. When she looked in the mirror, all she saw was some average girl with long brown hair and blue eyes. To her, she looked like all the other girls. Nothing special. She wished the boys at school didn't look at her like she was a piece of meat.The bell rang for the last class, so she hurried inside. Hopefully, Damien wasn't in it, she thought to herself. She
Damien didn't make it home until after nine pm. He was sweaty and hot. A nice warm shower was the only thing in his mind after having a long day at school and the gym."Hold it right there."His father's voice echoed through the walls before he could make it to the stairs. What now?"Yes, father," Damien sighed. He turned around to face his father's glaring blue eyes."Where the fuck have you been, you little shit? Did you forget what you were supposed to do today?"Shit, he did forget."I'm sorry. I lost track of time," Damien looked away. His father Ivan walked closer, then roughly gripped his shoulder.
Adeline tried to wash off the icky feelings from the previous day under the running hot water. It was only the first week of school, and she already had to deal with dumbasses like that watered-down version of Damien. What was his name again...Nik? And now it was a new day, and she hoped not to run into those guys or Damien again.She heard the bathroom door open suddenly, and there came Jimmy, casually walking in. She stood there horrified as she heard him peeing. What the fuck?She opened the curtain, covering her naked body with it. "What the hell, Jimmy! I'm in here!" she screamed.Jimmy's lips curled into a smile. He looked at her face and trailed his eyes down as if to try and see her naked body through the curtain. Adeline held the curtain tightly against the body, feeling uncomfortable. "GET OUT!" she cried again."Jeez, Addie, keep your panties on. It's not like you have anything I've never seen before," he
Thursday morning.Another day at school, but Damien didn't mind because compared to his shitty life out there, school seemed like heaven.The first thing he saw walking down the hallway was Adeline. This time, she wasn't alone. Four girls surrounded her. One of them was Molly."What's your problem? I never did anything to you!" Adeline exclaimed."We don't think a slut like you belongs in our school," Molly grumbled."Oh? Then why are you guys are still here?" Adeline snapped.Damien snickered then kept walking as he didn't want to deal with their girly bullshit. He tried to sneak away before Molly noticed him, but she saw him. Her
Adeline went to her class in a sour mood. She had no idea why those girls would be mean to her all of a sudden. And why are they calling her a slut? She hadn't even been here long enough to sleep around with boys. She saw Mandy at her desk and smiled. Mandy looked at her and waved. Oh good, at least Mandy was still on her side."Hey Addie," Mandy greeted her as she put her bag down. "Sooo...I need to ask you something.""What's up?""What the hell were you thinking?" Mandy narrowed her eyes.Adeline raised her eyebrows. "What are you talking about?""Why would you accept a ride from Damien Sky of all people? I warned you about him, didn't I?" Mandy said."Well...what's the big deal? I missed the bus today, and I was going to be late for class, and Robbie insisted, so I figured why not," Adeline shrugged."I mean, now everyone in this school will think you
Vanya took Damien back home after they got the job done at the strip club. Damien was still nauseous from the incident. He has had to endure many torments from his father and his men but never had to hurt someone this badly."Finally popped your cherry, eh mal'chik?" Vanya flashed him a toothy grin. Damien didn't respond. He tried not to think about the man's screams, but he could see that face full of agony every time he closed his eyes. Guess tonight's going to be yet another sleepless night.Ivan was waiting for them at the house. He stood up with his hands in his pockets as he saw Vanya and Damien come in. His eyebrows rose inquiringly as he stared at Damien's pale face."What you got?" he asked Vanya directly.Vanya smirked. "Got the job done. He paid up.""Hmm...good work," Ivan looked at Damien. "What's his deal?" he narrowed his eyebrows."I asked Damien to cut the
Adeline couldn't sleep after Damien left. She kept tossing and turning all night, thinking about him. Why did she let him in? She must've been high or something. Or stupid. After spending hours agonizing and overthinking things, she finally dozed off.In the morning, Adeline realized she had overslept as soon as she opened her eyes. She groaned and rushed to take a shower, but by the time she made it downstairs, she heard the school bus leaving. She cursed under her breath and proceeded to walk out the front door but paused as she saw Damien and Robbie waiting for her outside.He can't seem to leave her alone no matter how hard she pushed him away, Adeline thought to herself. She couldn't help but feel a flutter in her stomach."Who's that punk? You fucking him?"She cringed at Jimmy's crude remark behind her. "That's none of your business," she snarled. She didn't want to deal with him this morning. She i
