Unbearable pain
Josephine POV
When Aiden Yanked my hand in his grip, I felt so much pain, but the moment I heard Jacob's voice on the phone, the way he sounded so determined, I desperately wanted to fight and do the right thing, my heart was beating so fast, I can't help it, the lingering thought of how it started between the both of us came seeping in, the thought of regrets swept through me, I was feeling so heartbroken, knowing full well I had the opportunity to be with him, but I just wasted it, thinking he might assault me again.
Hot tears brimmed my eyes, I noticed the intense gaze of Aiden as she stared at me, " I hate to see you like that" he said with a sinister smile before he ended the call, I immediately burst out in tears feeling so emotional, it's been days that I have been stuck up here and it clearly shows no chance of finding my way out of this place, my heart churned, my heart was beating so erratically at the slight thought of what would happen to me.
I took a deep breath, my heart was beating so fast before he cupped my cheeks and he smiled a very mischievous smile, I used that opportunity to bite his hand out of anger, he yelped in pain, he was looking at me in horror.
" Why did you do that?" He asked, then he unexpectedly Landed a hot slap on my cheeks, I cried, my cheeks burned, I felt so much pain at the spot he slapped.
"How could you do that to me?" I asked in both horror and disappointment, he smiled, he was about to land another slap on my cheeks but he stopped midair.
" I'll like you to stop...." He begged with a hoarse voice, my heart was beating so fast but I was very disgusted with his actions that I can't keep my mouth shut even though I wanted to.
" I want to know why you are doing this to me?" I asked him and he before coming closer to me and said.
"Because I want you, can't you see that I want you and I'll like to spend the rest of my life with you," he said, my heart was beating so fast, I clenched my fist tightly, hoping that everything would turn out right.
" I should have listened to my father when he had warned me about you, I never knew you were just after me just because of money, you really suck" I cried in both pain and anger, but rather he used the opportunity to slam his lips against mine, I struggled to be out of his grip, because his actions were unpredictable, I felt so hurt by his actions, I don't know what to do or how to achieve my aims, my heart was beating so fast in response to what just happened.
"Please do the right thing," I said to him, he erupted in hysterical laughter at my remark.
" What is the right thing?" He asked, I shot a glare at him, already wishing that I could be out of here because I'm feeling so hungry and thirsty, he Hardly gives me water and food and I'm so hungry.
I was quiet for a whole without uttering a word, he smiled at me and continue staring at me, then he went Inside the house, which made me release a deep breath.
I laid my head back on the chair, my body felt so sore from being in the same position for God knows how long, I Just wished I could have listened to my father, when he had warned me about him, I remember the times when we were so in love with each other that I don't want anything to happen to him, I'll be ready to defend him in from of my parents and be ready to do anything to showcase how much I love him, but today, everything changed, and my narrative about him changed, he was a monster right from the beginning, I was the one who was too blind to see the evil lurking around him.
I let out a husky breathe while trying to calm myself down before I gently laid my head on the bed, I kept on thinking about what happened to me while ignoring the hunger I was feeling, till I doze off in an uncomfortable situation, I tried as much to keep calm.
While I was asleep I then perceived an aroma that caught my attention, I immediately pried my eyes open, my stomach grumbled, I desperately wanted to eat what they had prepared, my stomach was grumbling, and I desperately wanted to calm my raging nerves, I noticed some hot steaks on the table, I licked my lips in response, because it felt like ages that I had eaten and I wanted to have a taste of the food.
I stalked closer, my eyes welling at the slight thought of everything, I could bare the thought of anything happening to me.
So then struggled towards the food, because I was feeling so hungry and I wanted to eat something in other calm myself down, I kept my head low while telling myself that everything would be Okey, I then noticed something was not right, I wonder who could have possibly kept the food like that, what if it was poisoned.
" Aiden" I called out gently, he immediately answered before he came to where I was.
" Why are you calling me?" He asked.
"The food?" Was the only thing I could mutter because my stomach was now a grumbling mess and I wanted to eat.
"It's yours".
"I Hope it's not poisoned?" I asked, he erupted in laughter before he said what made me raise a brow at him.
"I'll leave you to find out yourself, then if you don't want to eat, I can easily give my dogs" his words caught me off guard.
" I swear to God I'll kill you," I said with burning tears.
