Prologue

“Stop with your madness, Asael….” she shouted at him while glaring at him through her glossy eyes.

“Open this door. I want to leave right now,” her loud words resonated against the walls of that room but they were not enough to move those barbaric intentions of that man who was standing in front of her.

Her feet backed away as she saw him taking his steps closer to hers with that nefarious smirk playing on his face. Her back got pressed against that locked door behind her as his feet paused right in front of her. His iniquitous icy blue eyes remained glued with shimmering ones.

She witnessed him lowering his head to reach her face level.

“This door will never open for you to help you in escaping from me, mi bella,” his husky voice rasped against her slightly parted lips which brimmed more tears in her eyes, especially when she felt him wrapping his arms around her waist and gently pulling her on his chest.

His gaze peered into her glossy emerald eyes. Those eyes with which he had fallen in love with insanely when he was just a mere 10 year old kid. Those eyes which used to keep him alive, even in his life's darkest moments and those same exact eyes of hers which had made his eyes shed the most tears of pain and agony.

She witnessed his gaze shifting from her eyes to down towards her parted lips which made him push his face closer to hers and she knew exactly with what intentions, so she immediately tilted her head.

“This is forbidden, Asael….”she uttered, looking away from him. Tears started falling from her eyes again as she knew what he was needing from her right at that moment. 

Her words made him clench his jaw. Turning her head, she looked into his glowering eyes.

“This is wrong. This has always been wrong and this will always remain wrong,” once again she repeated those same exact words to him which had destroyed his life 4 years ago brutally.

Gripping her waist aggressively, he forcefully slammed her against his sinewy chest.

“Why is this wrong, Ezrene? Because I am your fucking stepbrother?” He seethed out at her through his clenched jaw which caused more tears to fill in her eyes because that was the most brutal truth of their lives that they both were completely forbidden for each other.

“Why is this forbidden because my fucking father is going to marry your mother?” he spat at her and she had nothing to argue with him regarding this because this was the fact.

“But as far as I could remember….” He thrusted his face dangerously closer to hers, almost grazing their lips against each other.

“You had let this stepbrother of yours get closer to you to that extent where you had fucking conceived with his child,” those words of his numbed her very existence completely.

Yanking her more vigorously in his arms, he glowered into her watery hues.

“That same exact child of mine which you killed with your own hands before I even got to know about its existence,” that utterly venomous pain flashed in his eyes which had been turning him lifeless from the past 4 years which began since that day when he got teared apart from her after knowing that she had aborted their unborn child whose existence he was not even aware of.

“You killed our child just because you were too coward to face this world and their questions against our closeness, Ezrene,” she teared up more at his cruel choice of words and seeing that breaking state of hers, that pain of his turned more unendurable because even after the pain she had caused to him, he still loved her like a maniac. He was still unabashedly in love with her like an obsessor loved and needed his obsession.

Turning his grip around her waist gentle, he pressed his forehead against hers which made both of them close their eyes and breathed into each other's air for a while until 

“Your dad will kill you for this, Asael,” she breathed out against his lips which made him slowly open his eyes. Slightly pulling back, he looked into her eyes which were glistening with tears of fear and terror of his father.

“He will never forgive you for this,” she uttered to him, extremely terrified because she knew how brutal his father was and how far he was capable of going to hurt his own son after what he had done to her.

A lethal smirk formed on his face after hearing those words of hers which startled Ezrene. 

“You think I am afraid of him and my death?” He asked her while lifting his hands up to palm her face. She stared at him, appalled. He did know how far his father could go to hurt him but he was still behaving like it was nothing.

“If I would have been afraid of my father and my death then I wouldn't have abducted you from you altar, in front of your fucking would-be husband, my father and the whole world, bella,” he uttered while wiping her eyes. 

“Because we both know no one and nothing can separate you from me,” he pushed his face closer to hers.

“You are mine. You have always been mine and….” he halted to press his mouth tenderly against hers but only after completing his words.

“You will always be mine…just mine, mi bella,” and those words of his shattered her soul cruelly because she was finding herself trapped in the arms of that man who was utterly forbidden for her to fall in love with but she was already in love with him more than anything and anyone but….

What brutality this love of hers was going to make her endure because she was in love with HER OBSESSED STEPBROTHER?
