The King of Beasts Chapter 20
20ARIATHE PASTMATURE CONTENT AHEADSixteen years oldA cool, gentle breeze swept past the lone figure sitting on the bench, fluttering the rogue strands of hair.The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays gave a warm, orange hue to the sky.The park was almost empty except a few kids who were now leaving as the sun had began to set.“It’s peaceful here, isn’t it?”Aria’s head snapped up, eyes widening to see a familiar face staring back at her.Blue eyes stared back at her, raven hair fluttered by the wind, the rays of sun cast a sharp shadow of him on the ground.“Gideon.”A smile tugged at his lips, his eyes soft as he stared at her.“You remember my name.” His tone held slight surprise.Aria swallowed. How could she forget the person who saved her? If he hadn’t come there that night, God knows what would’ve happened to her.Maybe something worse.“Hey.” She shook her head and focused on the man, “Can I sit here?”Aria averted her gaze, still doubtful of

21ARIAI couldn’t sleep the whole night.I was tense as I sat on the chair, facing the window, thinking about it.Did Fabiano come to know about my plan?Did Lina tell him?Did I make a mistake trusting Lina?A sigh left me.I didn’t know what was happening with me. I was becoming stupid idiot.I couldn’t begin to think of the ways that monster was going to torture me if he found out what I was doing.He had caged me on this island so I wouldn’t escape him but now if he came to know that his own servant had told me the only way to escape…I shuddered only thinking about it.“What are you thinking about?”With a shriek, I jumped in my chair at the sudden intrusion in my thoughts. With my heart in my throat, I whirled around, knowing who the person was.Fabiano.“Fuck you, you dung!” I blurted out before thinking, trying to calm my racing heart.It came as a shock when he didn’t hurt me for cursing at him.I rubbed my fist on my chest while glaring at him. His eyes were stuck to my fac

22ARIAHe didn’t shout or growl. He just spoke so calmly yet I recognized the wickedness and the truth underlining those words.Seething at him for being a monster and angry at myself for being a coward, I let my hand drop to my side, glaring at him silently as he moved towards the waves.His pants were rolled up, so were his sleeves. His hair fluttered in the wind as he walked without any worry.“Come on.” He barked, without looking back.Sighing, I made my way towards the beautiful waves and him.My mind went back to the day two years ago. The last time I had been on a beach.My eyes darted to the man who kept me in a cage now.Two years back, on an unfortunate night, I had encountered him for the first time.Cruel. Evil. Cold. Psychopath.He stood in front of me, staring at the horizon.When I stepped beside him, his head snapped in my direction.His piercing grey orbs sent a stab of fear through my heart. I steeled myself and matched his gaze with one of my own.I wasn’t going to

ARIA‘I’ll break your legs, I’ll tear your limbs apart. I’ve been treating you like a queen. Try to escape. Even if you succeed, I’ll make you crawl back to me and I’ll treat you no better than a slave.’“Shut up! For fuck’s sake, shut up!” I hissed at my reflection in the mirror.Fabiano’s words circulated in my mind, instilling a fear in me.It felt like he was warning.Like he knew something.Did Lina betray me?She owes you no loyalty. You owe her.“You’re going to escape. You’re going to leave this cage, Aria.” I spoke to myself, trying to lessen the fear thar kept elevating inside me.No matter how much my senses told me not to act on my plan, I couldn’t afford stepping back right now.Fabiano had made his intentions more than clear today. And I had no desire to act like a doll. I had no intentions of handling my reigns to him so he could rule over me.I wouldn’t become a puppet in his hands.Tapping my cheeks, I sighed before stepping away from the restroom mirror and left the

ARIAI woke up to the sound of the door opening. Stretching my body, I rolled over and straightened myself, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.“Miss?”I was fully awake at the voice.Eyes snapping open, I jerked my head towards the voice.A pale Lina stood near the edge of my bed, eyes glancing everywhere but at me.“What happened?” I asked, when she didn’t reply, I tensed, “What time is it?”I jumped off the bed, “What happened Lina?”She looked guilty as hell; eyes full of pity.Pity for me.“Say something.” I barked, startling her, she jumped in her place, not meeting my gaze.Her eyes went to the corner of my bed, I followed my gaze, my heart dropping into a pit when I noticed a square box lying there.My gaze flicked up to the woman standing in front of me before it went back to the box, lying there.“What’s in it?”She swallowed audibly at my words, eyes stuck on the crimson box with a black ribbon bow tied on it.“Big Master wants you to wear it tonight.” She paused, waiting for m

ARIAI cursed Lina under my breath at the mere thought of her.I’d beat her dumb ass when I saw her.Somewhere inside me, I knew it wasn’t her fault. She was just doing what her Big Master had told her to.But I was just des—Click. Click.I whirled around, my eyes widening as I watched everything.The door unlocked, someone pushed it open. I saw the shadow and didn’t think twice before running towards the door.Just as I stepped outside, my eyes caught a person running down the hall.What the hell!I stared at the place where the person was before moving in the opposite direction.Lina had told me where the boat was going to be and that’s where I wanted to be.Casting a last look over my shoulder, I ran in the opposite direction.Thankfully, Lina had told me the directions the day Fabiano had nearly raped me. So, I knew where to go.I didn’t stop.I ran and ran, barefoot and didn’t halt when I jumped out of the window instead of leaving through the door.When my feet touched the mois

ARIAPale and afraid, I quietly moved away, wondering what was I supposed to do next.I wondered if Fabiano knew I had escaped his cage.He would be livid.I shuddered remembering his words.I had to leave. One way or other.Shaking myself out of the trance, I looked for the control room.Other than the fact that there is a thing called ‘wheel’, I knew nothing about the boat.I felt like I was in denial because my mind knew that there was no way I could escape from here.But I ignored the warnings in my head and entered the control room, trying to swallow the ball of emotions stuck in my throat.I recognized nothing but the wheel.I hadn’t even seen those weird buttons or whatever things that were in my vision.My hands started to shake with the immense wave of emotions that was forming inside me.Helpless.I was absolutely helpless.I was stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea.My eyes stung as tears formed in them. This time, they weren’t the tears of happiness. They were the

ARIA“You tried to escape.” He roared like a lion, furious and ready to kill.Unfortunately, I was only one living here so it was clear that I was the prey.His prey.I straightened, shaking myself internally to be strong. I couldn’t be weak.“You think you can leave me like this.” He kept roaring, “A woman!” He spat, glaring at me like he wished to disassemble me limb by limb.He moved my way, heightening my fear and dread“Stay away.”He roared at me, and slapped me again, making my head jerk back.Tears fell from my face.“You’re nothing, you understand.” He bellowed, “You’re a piece of flesh. A property. A slave. A whore.”A sob echoed around me, I realized it was mine.My head spun, the present and the past mixed with each other.‘My warrior princess.’‘Bye, good weirdo’s friend.’‘Your father is dead.’“You’re a whore.” He shouted at the top of his voice, “I’ll make sure you remember that for the rest of your life.”‘I’m sorry to inform you, your parents didn’t survive the accid
