Auctioned to my Brother's Bestfriend 42. Selfish Bastard
My breath caught in my throat as I saw my mother's name flashing on his phone's screen.Confusion swirled within me as my mind raced to think about the possibility of my mother calling him."Please, pick it up." I requested when he was about to put it back in his pocket "It could be urgent."The solace that I got by coming to this garden was long gone. I was worried and scared for the health of my parents. They are alone and this monster doesn't let me even talk to them and then he expects me to accept him.My heart pounded in my chest as my breath quickened. Giving it some thought, he decided to pick up the phone."Please put it on the speaker."I wanted to hear what my mother had to say so that he wouldn't manipulate the story. I know he was not in a mood to do as I said but still, he picked up the phone and put it on the speaker."Hello, Damien,"My mother's voice trembled through the speaker, and my heart clenched even tighter. Her tone was filled with concern and worry, evident e

He unlocked the car and I stepped out without saying any words. I knew it was better to keep my lips sealed rather than share my problem with my parents. They could not do anything to help me and I don't want to burden them with my problems.I didn't have much time to waste so I just ran inside the hospital and got to see my mother soon."Angel" she cried out."Mom!"I hurried towards her, my heart pounding against my chest as I embraced her, feeling her warm arms around me. I pressed my face into her shoulder. I decided not to cry in front of her because this would only weaken her but when she took me in her embrace and started crying, I couldn't hold back my cries.We held onto each other tightly, emotions passing between us, joy at being reunited, and sorrow at the circumstances that brought us together.In between our tears and hugs, I couldn't help but notice the presence of Damien standing at a distance, his eyes fixed on us. There was something in his gaze that I couldn't quite
Auctioned to my Brother's Bestfriend 44. Keep the promise
It was almost unbelievable when Damien permitted me to stay with my parents. I better know to cross my lines and mess up with him because I was well aware of where all this would lead. I was sure that this time it would not be me whom he would hurt; instead, he would go for my parents.The doctor discharged my father and I got the privilege to stay with them for a whole week and to my surprise, Damien didn't bother me these days.Though I was worried about my father's health, these days I felt like I was living a life because I did not have to worry about Damien all the time.I took care of my parents as much as I could and my mother fed me so much that I haven't eaten since I was with Damien. Simply being surrounded by my family felt like a lifeline.Now I am sitting in the car, which was sent by my captor to take me back to my golden prison. I told my parents that I had to look after some important cases; that's why I would have to leave. It was really hard for me to say goodbye to m

I regretted those words that left my mouth the next second, but the harm had already been done and I cannot do anything now. All I could do was pray for the safety of my dignity. Because he turned me around and pushed me down on the bed, it seemed like things would end the way I did not like. My hands rose and rested on his chest to push him away so that I could create some distance between us but my attempts were futile as he slammed his palm on both sides of my skull and hovered above me leaving very little distance between us.I was aware of how little control I had over what would come next so for now I decided to keep my lips sealed but I was also aware that I could not keep my mouth shut for long, even when I knew that it would do nothing more than put me in more trouble. "What I am doing to you is not even one percent of what your brother has done to my sister," he said, finally breaking the silence, which felt more dreadful than his words. One of his hands lifted up and fo

Warning: 18+ contentConsequences!Consequences!Consequences!I am actually tired of this word. I know he has kept my parents at gunpoint and when he has already reminded me that I cannot go against him, then what is the need to bring consequences into every conversation?"You heard me, didn't you?" He insisted, his voice demanding. I knew he was losing his patience.But I didn't move from my place. I don't want to kiss him willingly!"See, don't make me repeat things. I don't like to repeat myself." I could hear the frustration in his voice. "And don't behave as if you don't want it. I know in my college days you wanted me as much as I wanted you;"I could feel my ear turning red. He knew the truth, yet he had always chosen to act naive and oblivious."Not anymore!" I retaliated, "You have changed completely. You said that you were not the one that I used to admire from afar. The person I liked was a human with a kind heart but you have become a beast," I stated bluntly, not fearing

Traumatized would be a small word to describe what I felt the night he did something to me that was out of my imagination and my wildest dream.I was scared to death that he would actually take me against my wishes.When he collapsed over me for a moment, I thought that he had died but then he moaned, which was an indication that he was alive. After a few minutes, he pulled me under himself and slept over me without caring that he had been pressing me under his weight, making it difficult for me to even breathe.I have given up the idea of escaping because I have accepted the fact that I cannot step out of this house without his permission. And by doing so, I will not only end up harming myself but he will also snatch away the privilege of talking with my parents.He gave me the phone for ten minutes and I talked with my parents at that time. I am relieved to know that they are fine. But he is not giving it to me for free. He demanded kisses in return, although he was somewhat less ha

"I don't think I will be able to go to the office today," he declared.It was a small cut on his sole, yet he was making such a fuss about it. What's the use of such an athletic body if he can't bear small cuts and wounds?"By the time I change my clothes, go and prepare breakfast for me," he orderedYeah!At least it would give me some privacy from his constant gaze and I would be able to breathe properly. "Wait!" He said as I turned around, "Give me a t-shirt before leaving and once the breakfast is ready, come back to take me out.""I will bring the food here," I told him."Just do as I am saying," he said rudely. "Now hand me the t-shirt."I made faces as I turned around to grab one t-shirt."Don't make faces. I can see you," he said from behind.Suppressing a sigh of frustration, I went to his closet and picked up a random t-shirt. As much as I wanted to throw the t-shirt on his face just the way he did on my first day, I controlled myself and handed him the t-shirt gently befor

As he said, he actually made me dance on his finger for the whole day. One time he was asking for a book, and the other time he was asking me to sit beside him as he worked on his laptop. I found myself constantly dancing to his tune. By the evening, I became completely exhausted because usually I take a rest in the afternoon when he goes to work but today, as he was in my head all the time, I couldn't even rest. He was in the room all the time and I felt uncomfortable because of that. And now I am here, giving him a bath as per his request. He sat luxuriously in the bathtub, water gently lapping at his skin, his posture relaxed as if he were the king and owned the world. His arms were spread wide, and a self-assured smile was playing on his lips, making him look every bit like a king in his domain while I was cleaning his shoulders as if I were his maid. Personal maid, to be more specific.I felt helplessness tugging at my heart. This wasn't how I imagined my life when I first met

One year later Third Person's POV Aiden was telling the story of his day to his father while returning home from school. Damien was listening to his story intently when he saw something and abruptly applied the break. "What happened, Daddy?" Aiden asked curiously Damien looked at the flower shop at the side of the street and Aiden understood it. He giggled, his tiny eyes sparkling with excitement, as Damien came out of the car and helped Aiden out. Damien held the finger of his little son, whom he knew was super excited and could hurt himself if not kept an eye on. Aiden jumped in his way as they reached the flower shop. "How may I help you, sir?" the girl selling flowers asked Damien. Damien and Aiden shared a look before both of them said it at the same time. "A bouquet of lavender" The girl's eyes moved at both of them one by one as she chuckled at the bond of father and son. Angel used to think that Aiden was a junior version of Damien but as they started livin

After dance, dinner, and cake cutting, Damien brought me and Aiden to his house.Aiden was half asleep by the time we reached here because he danced like crazy, gaining the attention of everyone. He is surely going to have more pictures than us.Daisy took on the responsibility of keeping him to herself for the night. Looking at the cuteness and innocence of our baby, everyone thinks that he is easy to handle but in reality, the case is just the opposite."Momma," I heard Aiden's voice, which stopped me in my tracks.As I turned around to look at him, I found him rubbing his eyes with one hand while the other one was reaching out for me, his tiny fist opening and closing in rhythm, asking me to take him in my arms.I knew that he would wake up and then he would surely ask for me. At the moment, if I don't take him and put him to sleep, he will cry so badly that it will become impossible for even me to calm him down.Daisy patted his back, trying to put him to sleep again but I knew th

All of us came back to the venue and Damien didn't leave my hand, even for a second.It felt like he was afraid that I would run away from him but now that I have accepted him, I have done that with an open and clean heart. I have decided not to think about that bitter past and to start a new life with him on a happy note.As we entered the venue, we met with the most unexpected guest. Damien looked down at me, asking if I had any clue about them but I was equally clueless. I am sure Philip and Richard must have arranged it.Suddenly, Damien was hugged tightly. It was his mother. She hugged him tightly."I missed you," she mumbled.Damien hugged him back. She pulled away and engulfed me in her arms as well. I felt her warmth and love through that hug.Daisy was standing at a hand distance from us, looking at her brother with small tears in her eyes. Two months ago, I came to know that Damien has cut all the ties with his sister and they haven't met in the last four years.I could see

Philip and Richard stepped towards us as we moved away and stood side by side.Unable to meet my gaze with Richard's, my eyes moved down on their own.For the first time, I couldn't understand what's going on in Philip's head from his body language. I know he would not be happy with this decision of mine.Damien was still having eye contact with them, ready to face whatever they had to say, while my eyes were still low. My heart was beating fast in my chest and my body was frozen in the arms of Damien.I was stuck in the situation of choosing my family's will over my love, and this time I decided to go with my heart, because if I had gone with the first, it would have ruined three lives.Suddenly, Damien moved his arm away from my waist. My eyes snapped up in surprise as I thought that Philip must have pulled Damien away but I was completely surprised when both of them hugged.What? Philip is hugging Damien. From what I felt, it was Damien who hugged him first because his hands were

"Damien," I called out while turning around but there was no response.How could he disappear in a blink of an eye?Was it just a dream?No! The familiar sensation on my forehead, at the place where he kissed me, was still there. I am sure he was here."Damien!" I called out again.When no response came and I was sure that he was not in the room, I ran to the window and looked down to find a man walking towards the exit with his head hanging low.It was Damien"DAMIEN!" I called out with all the energy inside me.He turned around. His eyes were brimming with tears, and his lips curled into a small smile. He waved his hand to me and walked away."Damien!" I again called out my hand, reaching out for him but he was gone.I blinked and focused but he was already out of my sight. I turned around and ran to the door. At the same time, Philip came inside."Angel," his eyebrows drew in confusion as he looked down at me. "What happened?" "Damien," I cried "What happened?" His eyebrows drew

As I entered the house, I found it dark and silent.Where is everyone?Aiden was waiting for me at home. I bought him chocolates as well. Where is he? Where is Mom?I flinched at my place and my soul almost left my body when a party popper burst near my ear. Suddenly, the room was filled with lights and when I moved around my eyes, I found all my family members surrounding me. They were waiting for me to give me a surprise but I am not sure what it is because there is still time for my birthday."Congratulations!!!!" Mia came to me excitedly and hugged me tightly.My hands hesitantly wrapped around him. But why is she congratulating me?"Congratulations, Angel," Mumma and Philip squealed at the same time."Congchachulason, momma," Aiden said in his baby voice.My squinted eyebrows and confused eyes moved at each one of them. I know I was expected to say thank you but I was utterly confused."We are so happy that you said yes for the wedding," Mia said.Ohh! Now it settled in. But how
Auctioned to my Brother's Bestfriend 116. The decision
Richard was completely shocked to know about my past. He was left speechless when I told him everything about my first meeting with Damien, Philip's fake death rumor, my auction, Damien's treatment, the truth and me leaving him at the end. He just listened to me intently without questioning anything but he was all ears to me. I felt relieved to tell him all this because it was like a burden on my heart especially when he was thinking about his life with me. Along with a mentor, he is my good friend as well and I could share things with him without the fear of getting judged. "Since then I have shut the doors to my heart, not allowing anyone to make its way inside." A long silence followed my words. He seems lost in my story, his mind replaying things I said. "Do you still love Damien?" He asked finally breaking his silence. He was silent while I was telling him the whole story of my life but his one question was enough to make me go silent. Drawing a deep breath, I gulped down.

As I stepped out of the car my phone started ringing. When I took it out of the clutch, I found that the call was from mother. I am sure Aiden must be calling me. Today is Sunday, and I had some work, Aiden wanted to come along with me but I brought him with me because I needed to talk to Richard. This is why I am here! I have called him in a cafe to have a conversation and I know no matter how much Aiden is involved with his own things, he keeps an eye and ear on me. He always hears what his mommy has to say whether it is meant for him or not and he understands it or not. And then I have plenty of questions waiting for me before going to bed. "Hello" "Hello momma" came his chirpy voice from the other side of the call "Aiden misses you" I am sure he is pouting. "Come back soon" As during the weekdays, I stay busy with courts and cases, he gets only one day with me and he doesn't want to stay even a second away that day. I am sure he must be cutting the time by looking at the c

It's been two weeks since that incident and I am still not over it. I still have the guilt that, because of me, my baby suffered. Aiden has now fully recovered, and he has also started going to school. The doctor asked me not to give him too much stress so I applied for one week of medical leave for him. He was happy about missing school and enjoyed the leaves as if they were holidays.Today I took a day off because I wasn't feeling well. I wanted to pick up Aiden today but Philip wouldn't let me go. He asked me to take a rest, and this is why I took the leave.I was going through my phone while waiting for my baby when the door opened. As usual, I expected him to barge inside the home and shout, telling each and every corner of the house that he had returned from school but instead, he came inside silent with his lips tightly pressed together. His eyes were low and the energy in him was missing.My eyebrows drew in confusion as my eyes flicked up at Philip, asking what was wrong with
