With brutal force, he shoved me into the room and swiftly locked the door behind him.The impact of the push was so powerful that my ankle twisted, and I collapsed onto the floor with a sharp hiss of pain. My hands reached out to my ankle, which was throbbing in pain but not more than the heart in my chest. It was pounding so loudly that it hurt and it seemed like I would have a heart attack.Abruptly, he turned around, and his eyes flicked down at me."Angel," he said, sitting down to come face-to-face with me. "You got hurt?" He asked with his eyes, searching for the area where my fingers were resting. "oh my." He picked me up and made me sit on the bed as if I were just a small baby for him before walking to the drawer, most probably searching for a first aid kit. The way he was reacting sent shivers down my spine; it was far from normal. It was as if something had taken hold of him, and he appeared to be teetering on the edge of sanity.My skin crawled with unease, and I was more

"Who is Josh? TELL ME!"When I didn't respond to him, he shouted so loudly that the room seemed to vibrate, and I visibly flinched."No one," I stammered, my heart gripped by fear.I didn't want Josh to get hurt because of me. I was ready to face the consequences of my actions rather than let Damien harm Josh when he wasn't at fault.Suddenly he chuckled, making me even more scared.His behavior today was erratic and unpredictable. One minute he was smiling; the next he was barking orders; one minute he was calm; and the next he was fuming with anger. It was a display of his fractured state of mind. He truly needs medical help."How cute of you to think that you could talk to someone and I wouldn't find out!" He smiled cruelly, his words laced with devilishness. "You forget that I always stay one step ahead, and you end up forcing me to hurt you."I swallowed hard as tears welled up in my eyes. I knew I had made a grievous mistake, and now there was no escape from his impending wrath.

** Trigger warning **He didn't even care that he hurt me while pulling me out of bed abruptly. He seems out of control. My hiss of pain had no effect on him. His hold on my wrist was so tight that for a moment, I thought he would break it."Let go, Damien!" I shouted, struggling to free my wrist from his iron grip, but it seemed impossible.He continued to pull me along as though I were not a human being but a rubber doll.When all my attempts to break free proved futile, I planted my feet firmly on the ground, refusing to take another step forward, even if it meant he might drag my body along the floor. I didn't want to go anywhere with him.He is looking so scary at the moment.He stopped and looked back at me. My chin quivered, my lips pouted, my eyes were brimming and my cheeks were drenched with tears.I shook my head from side to side, silently pleading with him not to take another step.My heart raced in my chest, consumed by the fear of what he might do next. I had no idea whe

Warning: The content in the chapter may trigger a few readers.~~~~Third-person POV Angelica remained still in Damien's arms as he carried her towards the bedroom. Her body was utterly drained of energy, and she couldn't even hold her head up on her own.Meeting with Philip, him telling her about the past, the incident with Joshβeverything was too much for her to bear. She rested it against his chest, her arms instinctively wrapping around his neck for support.Inside her mind, the events of the day replayed over and over, and she couldn't help but hold herself responsible for everything that had happened. Silent tears trickled down her cheeks, wetting Damien's shirt.As they entered the house, she could see Daisy standing there, watching them intently. Angelica noticed her but she neither looked at her nor moved. She was lying in Damien's arms with no energy as he took her to the room.Bending down, he slowly put her on the bed and stood beside her. Their eyes were locked and their

'You are mine' 'You belong to me' 'Your every beat of heart should take my name' 'I possess you' 'You are my treasure, Tesoro' I woke up with these words echoing in my head because this is exactly what I have heard for hours and they have now imprinted in my head just the way he wanted. My body was in excruciating pain, especially the area between my thighs, which was incredibly sore even without any movement.Everything that happened last night was so vivid in my memories that I didn't need to think about it again nor did I want to. The last night was like a nightmare to me where I didn't want him yet my body ditched me. I have never felt so conflicted in my life ever before. I am not sure if he stopped even after I lost my consciousness or not. However, I believe that he hadn't because the intensity of the darkness I saw in his eyes last night was terrifying, the beast that I had never seen before. It seemed like he was determined to destroy me, and now, I can't even move a m

It is almost two weeks since the day I accepted the offer of the wedding. Since that day Damien is not been home. As much as he was excited about the wedding and wanted to marry me the same day, certain important work came up and he had to leave in an emergency. The work was related to his father which he could not deny. I initially thought he'd be away for just a few days, but he ended up staying longer than I had expected. I felt relieved that he wouldn't be with me all the time, but he didn't release my brother, promising to do so on our wedding day, once I am his. During his absence, I have spent most of my time sleeping. I have hardly left the room or gotten out of bed.Aunt Greta is providing me with everything in the room and I haven't talked to anyone except my parents and that too for a few minutes. Before leaving Damien gave me a new phone which had no other contact except my parents and he already warned me that the phone had a tracker so I could not try anything. Neithe

I was expecting the door to be locked from the outside because after I was kidnapped from here and bought by Damien, he assured me that he had locked my house but what surprised me was that Damien pressed the doorbell.That means there is someone who is residing inside and I don't even know about it.How could he allow anyone to stay at my house without my permission?I was about to ask him the same when the door swung open and revealed my mother's face.What? What is she doing here?When did she come?Why don't I know anything about this?"Angel!" My mother exclaimed, her voice filled with emotion, and she practically jumped on me, enveloping me in a tight, warm hug. My eyes closed as I surrendered to her embrace, a feeling of longing fulfilled after being separated for so long.She caressed my back before pulling back."Over the call, you were constantly telling me that you were fine. But I knew that something was wrong with you." My eyebrows drew together in confusion. Does she k

"Please Damien this is my parents house and they are here. I don't want them to come to know about this. Please" I requested him but he didn't move from his place. "So what, Angel?" he retorted, gripping my chin firmly. "It's not like they don't know about our relationship. They are aware I came to your room. In fact they allowed me. Now everyone knows that you are mine. What's there you want to hide? Why are you so frightened?" His thumb brushed against my lower lip, caressing it, his eyes following his thumb. "Plβ" I attempted to protest."Shh," he hushed me, pressing his thumb onto my lips. "Do you even know how I have passed these days without you. Each day felt like a year." He leaned forward and pressed a deep kiss on my lips. I didn't move nor I responded. I don't want to provoke him. The least thing I want is for him to do anything with me here. I tried to push him away with my hands, but he seized one of them and guided it to his groin, where I could feel the unmistakable

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

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
