"You're late." The baritone of his voice sends tingles down to her toes. Ava stepped back only to flinch realizing the shards of glass on the floor. "What... What are you doing here?" She was so glad that her voice came out steady. Before her heart used to inflate like a balloon in joy when she would find him waiting for her in her apartment but now she was terrified, though her heartbeat quickened. With a mixture of fear and fragments of her remnant love that refused to die down and was persistent in existing in her broken heart. He tilted his head and didn't offer her any response. Silence fell on them and she felt as if the walls were closing in on her. Ava moved carefully so as not to get injured and wore the slippers. Grabbing the broom she began cleaning the mess. She could feel his eyes on the back of her head drilling holes in her skull but keeping herself occupied helped her gather her thoughts and compose her melting armor. Throwing the trash in the bin she wash
Everything happened in a spur of a blur. They proceeded with court marriage the next day. More than a marriage it was a marriage contract in which she had no say. There were some solid rules in the contract to which she had to agree. It was stated that she had no right to ever ask for a divorce. Only Aiden could divorce her if he wanted, anytime, any second and she would get no penny out of him. She must obey his every command. Must not try to escape. She must submit to him. And not let any man touch her. She didn't know why the last rule was added. Aiden didn't feel anything for her. He didn't care for her so why didn't he want her to let any man near her? She was muddled when he ordered his lawyer to put this rule in the contract on the spot when the lawyer was explaining to her all the rules. He might be worried she'd transmit a disease or two to him but she would never sleep with him. She demanded to add another rule to his list of rules which stated that they wouldn't share a
Ava was escorted to the last room down the hall. Mr. Taylor aka butler helped her with her suitcase and left her after telling her to reach him if she needed anything. She quickly put her phone on charge and tried to contact her father again but it went to the voicemail. There were dozens of messages from Vanessa. 'Tell me when you reach his place.''You better keep me updated if you're alive or not.''Let me know if he makes you cry, I'll f*ck him up.'Ava smiled reading all the threats in the texts and typed a text saying she reached his place and was perfectly fine. She sent her the text and then dialed Annie who picked on the second ring. "Hello, who's this? Ughh my beauty sleep...""You were asleep so early? I thought you might be up playing video games." Ava said. "I made a new resolution prior that I'll go to bed early from today onwards but you hitched my plan, thank you very much." "Did you get a call from dad?" Ava asked. "No, he isn't returning my calls these days, I
He nibbled her bottom lip between his teeth, his tongue swiping over the blood coating her juicy petals. Ava needed to breathe, her toes were barely touching the ground and she was crushed in his solid embrace. She couldn't even breathe because of his cruel kiss or more like a punishment. "S... Stop..." Her protest got muffled as he shoved his tongue in her mouth, stroking hers and igniting weird sensations in her body. She was terrified but along with the constant fear there was faint arousal that rendered her baffled and she concluded it was because of her feelings towards him. Aiden was her Greek God. She truly loved him. The most handsome man for her. Her first love, first kiss, first touch. But that was all a mask that he wore so perfectly and behind that mask he was nothing but a deranged menace. Her nails dug in his chest against his shirt but it was of no use. His hold on her spoke loud and clear that he wasn't letting her go anytime soon. She was lightheaded and on the b
Ava quietly followed Mr. Taylor through the huge halls. She was fully attentive, learning the routes of the lion's den or more like Wolf's pack. He escorted her to the huge dining hall that overlooked the beautiful garden and a mini fountain through huge glass walls. A huge chandelier hanging right above the dining table. She swallowed thickly when her gaze lingered on the man sitting at the head of the table. He was in a compression long-sleeved shirt and shorts going through his phone while chewing on his food. A girl stood beside him as she informed him about their meeting, she was in formal wear with two files in her hand and a notebook in which she was doodling out whatever he said to her. Feeling gaze on him his attention darted to her and Ava stiffened under his scrutiny. Now she knew he wasn't human and that fact alone shifted something inside her. It was terrifying that she was curious rather than scared. Her thought process had a hitch and it was malfunctioning. Out o
"Stop. I disagree," She shrieked, grabbing his shoulder tightly to push him away, but he was like a brick wall falling on her with the sole intention of crushing her down. "I can't hear you," With that said he grabbed her jaw and pulled her closer crashing his lips on hers. Her lips puckered because of his fingers digging into her cheeks. He devoured her lips as if he had all the right to. She fought back as much as she could. Her heart thumping in her ears and blood was humming in her veins. The temperature of her body rose. With his hand behind her knee, he jerked her closer, killing the space she created with her wild struggles. Her soft body pressed against his hard one. She could feel his muscles flexing and rippling against her body. His fingers slid back, he grabbed the nape of her neck. The hold was so strong and dominant that he kept her head in place. She was trembling. He was demanding her to open her mouth and she refused to comply. His hold on her turned brutal and
Her heart quivered and jumped in her chest. Her eyes widened when he let her go, stepping back. Ava hurriedly jumped down only to lose balance and was about to fall but grabbed the chair to support herself, she didn't realize that her legs were jello. A sinister smile teased his lips, so evil that her soul shivered. She took a shaky step away from him and his head snapped to her. The scathing look in his eyes terrified her as she attempted to bolt from there but he seized her elbow and pulled her to him. She came slamming into his solid chest as he held her close. "Let him in, I'll be there with his most prized possession." He mused. "Let me go, Aiden. We can talk things out. I'll talk to my dad. He'll leave his job. We'll go far away from you, my father would not hurt any of your people. We would never show our face to you ever again-" She abruptly stopped when his hold on her elbow tightened to the point of crushing her bone. "You don't know anything, Ava. So keep your mouth
Aiden didn't like her. He was just curious. She was beautiful. Young. Innocent. And that was it to all this bullshit. He had kissed her the first time and it wasn't anything extraordinary. It wasn't bad either. He had his fair share of women and like all of them, Ava fell for his charms the moment she set her eyes on him. Boring. F*cking bland. He did make out with her a couple of times. Where Aiden loved to dominate his partner in bed, he enjoyed her innocent parade. The way she would jolt and gasp at each of his touches. She would tremble and respond. Her body worshiped his touch. The way her eyes would twinkle after their kisses and make-out sessions. She was small and fit perfectly in his arms. Too fragile for his liking. Often he felt as if he would touch her hard enough and she might shatter like a China doll. Though she does resemble a doll somehow. Maybe because of her small frame and wavy honey locks. He loves her hair. So long, soft, and wavy. When they were toget
