Chapter 494 Sarah, Be Good
Antonio effortlessly tore Sarah's clothes apart, but his eyes were filled with nothing but despair. Sarah struggled with all her might, but it was as if she was his prey, caught in the jaws of a beast, with no room to resist.
Gentleness turned into a sharp knife, piercing deeply without drawing blood, yet the pain was indescribable. Wounds were repeatedly torn open, cruelly sprinkled with steel nails, inch by inch digging into the flesh, cutting tendons and piercing bones...
Sarah had never felt such despair, and Antonio had never hated his actions so much. What they wanted was never this kind of love.
Sarah lost track of time, feeling no warmth at all. Antonio lay beside her, his firm chest once her most desired place to lean on. But now, she didn't want to touch him at all. Her body was in pain, but this pain was nothing compared to her shattered heart.
Antonio got up, lifting the hollow-eyed Sarah from the bed and taking her to the bathroom. The bathtub was filled with warm water, and the nearby shower gel was emitting a gentle fragrance. Antonio gently wiped off the traces on Sarah's body, trying to erase the storm that had just happened. But how could things that had just happened be easily erased?
Antonio gently wiped Sarah's body, his fingertips sliding over the love marks on her body. This was the tenderness he had longed for many years. He wanted to possess this woman again, to enjoy the pleasure that belonged only to them. But in the end, things didn't go as he wished.
"Rest well. If you want to eat something, tell me, I..."
"Get out."
Antonio's hand paused. His eyes were half-closed as he continued to wipe the water droplets off Sarah's body. Sarah forcefully pushed him away, the water in the bathtub splashing all over Antonio. Antonio wiped his face with the back of his hand and picked up a clean towel again, but Sarah snatched it away.
"Get out."
Sarah coldly looked at Antonio. Apart from hatred, there were no other emotions. She repeatedly wiped her body with the towel, her fair skin rubbed red. It was as if she was disgusted with the traces Antonio left on her, considering them dirty.
Antonio watched quietly, his heart aching, but he couldn't stop her. He knew better than anyone that Sarah was not punishing herself, but punishing him.
"Enough!"
Antonio growled. But Sarah didn't stop. She even rubbed her skin until it broke, slowly oozing blood.
"Sarah, stop!"
Antonio roared, lifting Sarah and throwing her back onto the bed.
"You forced me to do all of this, all of it!"
Antonio glared at Sarah, his hard exterior hiding a bleeding heart. After impulsively venting, Antonio calmed down a bit. He couldn't accept what had happened either, but it had already happened, and even if he regretted it now, it was useless...
"Sarah, if you had been a little obedient, we wouldn't have come to this!"
Antonio hid his inner torment, lifting his head and showing his frighteningly red eyes.
"I've said it before, Sarah. You'll never leave me!"
After saying this, Antonio stormed out, fleeing in panic. He didn't know how to face the situation, nor his own misdeeds.
Sarah listened to the rumble in her ears, slowly putting down the towel in her hand. She could no longer control her emotions and began to cry with her face covered. She thought her tears had dried up, but now, they were still flowing endlessly.
Outside the door, Antonio bluntly locked it. Holding the key in his hand, he slid down against the wall. He sat on the floor, his face covered in tears, but he bit his lip hard, not letting himself make any noise. This was a lose-lose entanglement.
After an unknown period, Antonio's hoarse voice rang out again, he commanded the person he had called to guard Sarah, "Take turns guarding here; no one is allowed to enter or exit except me."
Sarah listened to the voice coming from outside the door, a voice she was incredibly familiar with, yet it broke her heart. "If Sarah disappears, don't bother showing up!" Antonio took Sarah's phone and ordered all sharp objects in the lounge and anything that could harm Sarah to be removed.
He locked Sarah here, not allowing anyone to approach, nor allowing her to leave. Sarah panicked and struggled to get up from the bed, repeatedly banging on the door. "Antonio, what are you going to do again?!" "You broke your word; you went back on your word! You said you wouldn't imprison me again!" "Antonio, you bastard! Go to hell! Why don't you die?!"
Sarah's curses penetrated the door and fell entirely on Antonio's ears. But he was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard and let Sarah curse. Antonio only wanted her to stay here, to belong to him forever. No one could take Sarah away from him. Sarah could never leave him!
Sarah didn't know how long she had been cursing; she only knew that her voice was gone. The sunlight outside the window gradually dimmed, and the room became terrifyingly cold. Sarah sat on the floor, watching the light in front of her gradually thin, eventually plunging herself into darkness. She didn't have the strength to struggle or roar anymore, she could only sit here, worrying about Brady, worrying about her children.
The night was so oppressive that many people couldn't breathe; they could only endlessly hope for the arrival of sunlight. The night passed and Brian got up early and carefully, without waking his siblings. Yesterday's delivery of Mommy went smoothly, but for some reason, he always felt as if something was going to happen, and there was always a blockage in his heart. Because he hadn't received the safety message from Mommy yet.
As usual, he came to the kitchen and found that Antonio, who usually prepared breakfast, was not there. Brian was a bit puzzled, so he went to Antonio's room to see what he was doing. After knocking on the door for a long time, Brian did not get a response. "I'm coming in?" Brian shouted, then pushed open the door.
The clean and tidy room, the neat bed, it was obvious that no one had slept in the bed. Brian was stunned, Antonio didn't return all night?!
