Eggust’s Pov “Eggust, will you stop saying that? I don’t belong to you or anyone else.” Her words fell into deaf ears and I wanted to make her realize that. “As a matter of fact, you do, Juss, you belong to no one else but me.” I watched as she walked around, the obvious anger wafting from her small frame almost comical except I knew too well that there was nothing funny about this situation. I had been by her side through all of her moods and I knew which ones were to be avoided. And I knew that this was one of them. “You had no reason to do what you did. You don’t get to fight my battles for me, I can fight them myself.” "They were saying horrible things about you." I said but she raised her hands to silence me and I obeyed. It was funny how I held so much power that could force her into submitting to me but I wished to go by her own way. It was taking a lot of my time but I was willing to be patient. I needed her to accept the truth I had been telling her fo

Juss’s Pov I could feel the way my hands trembled as I touched my makeup over my face, how I felt like I would explode from how nervous I felt. What I was about to do. I tried to tell myself that it was necessary and I had no choice but it was becoming increasingly hard to believe. I had texted Eggust to meet me here, I booked the room because it was discreet, and we wouldn’t have to see each other after this. I had been thinking a lot about Eggust, what to do to stop this obsession of his. And the only thing that came to mind was to let him have his way with me, one more time, maybe that would make him satisfied and he’d finally leave me be. I heard the door behind me open and I turned towards it and watched him enter the hotel room. Eggust Flemming always managed to look like a Greek god even though it was obvious that he didn't put as much attention into his appearances as I did. His eyes fell on me as he closed the door, a confused expression coming to his face

Juss’s Pov Ever since I was a little girl, I had never been the type to be confrontational. When I found myself in a situation that didn't seem pleasant, I would run to some place and hide, forcing myself to ignore it while inwardly, I punished myself by putting all the blame on me. That was how it was with Marco, when the cheating rumors first started flying around, I had my doubts about his faithfulness, but I decided to ignore it, afraid of what I would find out if I dug deeper. And that delusion, that delusion was the genesis of my nemesis. I hid from the truth, the truth that was glaring, Marco took it as an advantage to manipulate me even more. He made it seem like I was crazy, like there was something wrong with me. He would often call me insecure and I would beg him at the end of each confrontation. Apologize to him for a fault that was his. I have always lived a life of denial. It was a bad habit that I had acquired throughout the years and though my parents h

Eggust’s POV I was a fool and I knew it. Every time that I swore to myself I would try my hardest to be calmer and more rational, I always found a way to blow all of that up, destroying whatever faith Juss had in me but what else could I do when I realized she was leaving again? When Ezekiel had told me she had bought a plane ticket, I had hoped that it was her being jittery and anxious about my confession. I had been curt and polite. Restrained. Reserved. If anything, I deserve a pat on my head for not pinning her down and kissing her as hard as I wished to at that moment but it had not been an impulsive action of hers. She had meant to leave me. Again. All I had thought the moment I realized that was I needed to get her in one place. Somewhere I could be sure that she wouldn't try abandoning me again or I could see her to keep myself from losing the last piece of sanity I had left but when she had seemed so resigned about her fate here, it hit me that I had gone too far.

Juss’s Pov I felt like I was going crazy. Eggust had not locked me inside my room like I thought he was going to, which I was very thankful for, but the gigantic state of his house only made me feel like I was stuck in a void that was planning to swallow me whole before I ever had the chance to react. It was like a prison, although I didn’t know if I should call it a better prison, cause I had access to everything I wanted, I just wasn’t allowed to go outside. Eggust bought everything I needed or he thought I needed. I also had a special nurse that came around to check if the baby and I were doing okay. Besides that, I never got to see anyone apart from Eggust and his security guards. I couldn't tell what day it was anymore because the days were beginning to blur and after that... Unfaithful day, Eggust had not returned. He didn't even come to see me to know if I was doing well and the worst part of it all was how the entire building was infested with guards stationed
