Rip her dignity and her pride

**Ivery Clark POV** 

I bit my lip to stifle the gasp that threatened to escape, but it only heightened the humiliation. Heat surged to my cheeks, not from shame, but from the overwhelming anger simmering beneath my skin.

When I looked up, his towering frame seemed impossibly large, his shadow swallowing the dim light of the room. 

I was kneeling before him, the cold wood biting into my skin. The humiliation coursing through me burned hotter than any wound, but I held my ground, refusing to break under his unrelenting gaze.

He reached out suddenly, his hand gripping my chin with just enough force to remind me of his power. My jaw ached, but I refused to show him the tears that threatened to spill.

“Look at you," he said, his voice low and mocking, sending shivers down my spine. “Reduced to this. Is this the strong, defiant woman I met? Or is this all you’ve ever been—a pathetic pretender grasping at a game far too big for her?"

I clenched my fists against the trembling in my body, fighting to hold back the venom on the tip of my tongue. 

"But I should applaud your performance at the auction. The helpless little lamb, trembling with fear. Such a convincing act. Who would’ve thought such raw innocence could be a mask? Who knew what face you truly hid beneath?”

I glared at him, wanting to claw at him, to lash out in any way I could, but I knew better. He thrived on control, and giving him anything — pain, resistance, even words — would only fuel him further.

"Now let's begin shall we?" Alrigo smirked, and the sound of his zipper being undone sliced through the heavy silence, a metallic echo that seemed to reverberate in my skull. 

And in a second his cock sprung free and
 I don’t even want to think about what made him so hard. This, psycho bastard. 

"Now open your mouth and suck it, ma bella." His cock throbbed, twitching in front of me.

My breath hitched, and for a moment, the room felt unbearably smaller, the air heavier.

He wants me to suck him off? I glared at him and his indifference stung, cutting deeper than I ever imagined possible.

The tip of his bulbous crown slips through my lips, my jaw stretching wide and I really want to bite his dick off. 

But Alrigo senses me and warns me in a dangerous tone, "Use your teeth and I'll show you its consequences. You'd be wishing death." 

Each breath I took was laced with fury, and the longer our eyes held, the more I let my defiance bleed into my stare. "You may hold me here, but you'll never break the part of me that despises you."

Alrigo’s smirk didn’t waver, "Really? Good. Hate me all you want because I do too. You’ve taken something from me I didn’t even know I could lose from you. Trust."

“And trust, you see, is far harder to give back than love. Trust…” His hand shot out, cupping my face roughly, his thumb tracing the corner of my mouth in a mockery of tenderness. “…that, Ivery, I will strip from you. Slowly. Painfully. Until you feel every ounce of the ache I feel right now.”

He thrusts his big cock all the way to the back of my throat. I choked on my saliva and my jaw ached the moment I took his girth and length. 

“Flatten your tongue and hollow your cheeks. Don’t just lick, suck,” he instructed in a dark, lust-filled voice and I hated the tears streaking my face as I continued, my resolve teetering on the edge of collapse. 

But I follow his command. The sooner I’m done with this, the sooner he will leave me alone. At least for now. 

I swirled my tongue on the thick girth of his cock and Alrigo looked at me with an intensity I couldn't decipher. 

"So beautiful…" His fingers swiped around my lips, "Yet so deceptive. Cunning." 

Then I felt his cock bigger and bigger. Alrigo groans holding and a salty taste explodes in my mouth. The jets of his cum spurted inside my mouth. 

"Take it all in, Ivery. I'll punish you if you spill a single drop of my cum." Alrigo ordered and I did.

"That's it…what a good little pet." Alrigo patted my head, the corner of his mouth curling into a smirk.

But worse, my body reacted to his every touch, his presence. I could feel my sex wet and I can't believe he still managed to turn me on. 

Only if things were different…

Alrigo suddenly rose to his feet, towering over me with a commanding presence that left no room for argument.

"Stay here." he ordered, his tone icy and absolute. “Don’t even think of doing anything stupid until I choose to come back.”

*What?* 

“You’re leaving me here?” I asked, my voice wavering in shock and disbelief.

He glanced over his shoulder, his smirk dark and humorless. “Did you expect freedom, bella? That’s a privilege you forfeited the moment you lied to me.”

“You can’t be serious,” I said, my voice trembling with outrage. “You’re going to lock me in here like… like some prisoner?”

“Lock you in?” he echoed, the mockery in his tone cutting deep. “Oh no, bella. Not just a prisoner. Mine.” He took a step closer, his shadow falling over me like a storm cloud. “This isn’t confinement—it’s ownership. And you will learn to accept it.”

"You think this is where I belong?" I spat, my voice low but full of venom. My head buzzed with a mixture of rage and pain, and my heart pounded as if it could escape my chest. "You think I'm just some toy for you to play with?"

"You can't control me," I hissed through clenched teeth, trying to ignore the suffocating feeling of his power radiating around me. "You never will."

But the cold laughter that escaped from his lips only confirmed my worst fear.

“I already do, bella,” he whispered, his voice slipping under my skin like poison. “Whether you like it or not, I own you now. Every part of you.”

I wanted to scream, to break free from him, but the truth of his words stuck to me, as cold and sharp as a blade. He was right, wasn’t he? In this twisted game, I was no more than his captive.

“Welcome to my world, ma bella.” he said quietly, darkly. And then he turned and left, leaving me here, broken and bound, with nothing left but the faint hope that I could keep my brother alive.
