Ashton's POV
Arrow called me to get his woman from the torture room where he showed no mercy. Pity started coiling my heart upon laying my eyes on her bruised face, she wasn't supposed to be treated this way, she was supposed to be treated nicely, like a queen.
I brought her to her own room and treated her long painful lashes and the wound on her lip I bet she suffered hell in Arrow's arms. She lost a lot of blood and energy for the last two days but, hopefully, she'll wake up soon. I sat on the chair beside the bed reading some books waiting for her to wake up.
"Doctor?" She hardly opened her eyes with her talking barely due to the wound on her lip that's really painful.
"How are you, Samantha?" I set the book on the table as I stood and went close to her bed.
"I am okay. Thank you for treating my wounds and for carrying me up in here," she whispered lowly, while she forced a half-smile
Samantha Red's POVFive dull days passed by and I jist stayed in this room alone. Ashyy would always come every other day just to change my bandages and give me some fast healing meds. I haven't seen the monster for almost three days. The last time was when I felt his presence on my bed sleeping with me.The lashes seemed to be healing so fast and that's because of Ashyy's help. I tried my very best to finally stand and walk again, thankfully, I succeeded. I need to regain my strength in order to win against the monster who's bossing me around.By the time my feet touched the floor, it was amazing. It feels like I was brought back to life. The elegant ambiance made me interested that made me roam around this house especially in his room. Everything was perfect. The bathroom, the store-like closet, the mini office, and the overwhelming balcony view. I went to his closet and looked at his expensive clothes until my eyes caught somethi
Ashton's POVI was about to go upstairs and meet the council when Sam bumped into me. The fear evident in her teary eyes told me she's really going down, it happened 'cause she already found the truth. The secret that we're trying to hide the most but now it's revealed. Terror and panic strucked her, I assume, with the way she acted, it looked like a traumatic experience, a hurtful past that caused her to pass out.I carried Samantha to Arrow's room and settled her there. Her face was in distress, her hair was a mess, her lips were dry, her eyes had dark circles. Such angelic face, sadly, it was turned into a pure disaster.Arrow needs to know that her woman already knew what he was, so I headed to the meeting room and whispered it to Arrow."Meeting adjourned. Do take care of your work properly. I don't want to hang someone in my torture room again, I'm tired of it," he said with a bossy tone then everyone went out
"We live to love, just like we love to live." -DarkVergentAshton's POVArrow's intention was reasonable to me. She wants to mold and insure her woman the way she wanted her to be but it's just that he pushed it too far. His way, it's bizarre but it's pure.Forthwith, I was here seating beside Sam's bed while watching her eat food. The sight of her was so lenient because of the distress clouding her. Her face was sad, her lips were dry, her eyes were despondent and reddish due to crying so hard, her hair looks like a bird's nest. Her life excitement and happiness departed from her. The emptiness inside, I knew she's feeling it, not only the voidness but also the misery.As her friend, I pity seeing her like this deadpan and gloomy. I wanted to bring her back the way she was when I first met her. She was pained at that time but she's cheerful unlike now, she looked like a living corpse."Hey, Sam, yo
"The past never defines who we are because we are more prior than our actions."Samantha Red's POV"Hey, you're here. I thought you ran away already. Arrow will slaughter me if you do." I was also alarmed when he suddenly talked."You also scared me," I reacted."Uhm, Ashyy, how did his parents die?" I asked, I knew how painful it was to lose your parents."You should ask him. I have no right to interfere," he answered shaking his head and smiled innocently.I just pouted out of disappointment. I didn't get the answer that I want. All the things present here hid a lot of secrets, how rare.~I was eating my dinner here in the dining room alone since Ashyy went home to the West because of her woman. I was just wondering what the two doors contain? Why did Ashyy keep me away from it? My gut keeps on telling me to discovers what's inside. I knew
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is misery and today, it's a gift that why it's called a present"Samantha Red's POVI ran back to my room and changed into something comfy. Jeans and a tank top suited my taste right now, and after that I ran down the stairs not wanting to be damned. I saw Shadow waiting for me rather than Arrow."Let's go to the rooftop, Mrs. Smith." Then he leads me to the stairs. There was an elevator, but they kept on making me walk this long way of stairs.We reached the rooftop and my jaw hanged open due to shock. He was staring at me with no expression but his eyes seemed to have something but I didn't want to care.I went close due to the big amusement, it was my first time to personally see a real helicopter. I was so amazed that I couldn't prevent my self from smiling. I bit my lip as I never expected that it was this big."Come, I will give you a tour aroun
"Friends might not be there when you want them, but they're always there when you need them"Samantha Red's POVCurrently, we're heading to the nearest mall here, we're escorted by two SUVs for safety. The scenery beside the road was breathtaking until I heard several gunshots that awakened my peaceful self. Fear rapidly emerged in me. I hate it, the sounds of it makes me feel my memories pain."Master, a black van is trying to harm us," Shadow, our driver, alerted.The gunshots were continuous, the three cars were trying to guard us, they're blocking the car. My hands started quivering as I look back but Arrow pulled me and caged me into his arms."I want you to close your eyes and never mind what is happening," he uttered tightening the hug.I closed my eyes holding unto his suit tightly. He's the only one who could keep me safe right now, for now, but not forever.
Samantha Red's POVWe're back at the church and all I wanted was to think and refresh myself a little bit. I desire a clean mind 'cause if didn't, I would explode."Shadow, can you accompany me for a walk please." Shadow went out of the hotel room where I was standing outside."Of course, Samantha, but we need Arrow's permission. You are very precious to him, we're obliged to report him everything in order to keep you safe," he asserted looking at the hotel.I just want someone to lean on, I wanted Ashton but he wasn't here. "No need. We are just gonna walk on the beachside. No need for his permission. I'm sure you won't let anyone hurt me right?" I argue forcing him."Yes, I won't. But..."I cut him off. "No more buts. Come on, let's go."He had no other choice but to follow me. Four men were still with us, following us to anywhere we'll go, did they kn
"Love exist in books, not in life"-DarkVergentCurrently, I was here inside the hotel room alone in my own frustration. I was wearing this oh-so huge, expensive, and glamorous gown he gave. My hair was in a bun and my face had a light make up. My tattoo was already dry, no matter how I tried to remove it, it just wouldn't.Staring at my face on the mirror, I never knew I could be this beautiful. I never really cared about my face before, for me, what's important, it's your personality not your beauty.A while ago when Grace and Gracie left me here, I was trying to shoo the guards away but they just wouldn't leave me unguarded. I even tried to order them to buy me a tampon when they didn't even follow what I said and just gazed at me.It means I was hopeless. I really had no choice but to be tied to him. What would happen to me then? He'd make me a sex slave, harm me whenever he wanted, punish me like an
Ashton's POVThree dull months had passed but the stab on Arrow's wounded heart didn't even bother to heal. What made it worse it was, the suffering wasn't a single pain but a double, he could feel it physically and emotionally. The absence of her woman that night, it was a pure disaster.The anger and extreme exasperation Arrow felt was indeed indescribable, he never wanted to lose his woman. This complicated time, when Arrow needed Samantha the most, she abandoned him, though it wasn't right for me to blame her for fleeing. But she was the only medicine that could cure the anguish Arrow was feeling.FLASHBACK...Arrow Black's POVCurrently, I and Ashton were heading to my estate since he wanted to see Samantha. The feeling of seeing her again was supposed to bring my heart at peace but I just couldn't understand why my gut kept on telling something had happened.Eagerness to
"Let go, run, go away, before it's too late. Don't be broken, it'll kill you"~DarkVergentSamantha Red's POVI was awakened by something unknown, I just woke up. There's something bugging my mind telling me I need to do some actions. When I gazed at my side, Arrow wasn't there and when I looked at the clock it was already three o'clock am in the morning. It was raining droplets outside. I went off the bed and headed to the bathroom but on the way through my eyes caught something.The bag for my escape, I thought this bag was already dumped but it wasn't. I went in front of the mirror and stared at my face for one minute until something important invaded my mind.Escape. Yes, I was thinking about escaping right now. This would be my last chance since Arrow was not around, I need to take advantage of the situation. My mind was determined, I grabbed some ponytails and tied my hair up high.'This
Samantha Red's POVBewildered.That was my whole day with him. It felt nice, comfortable, and happy yet I felt fear and terror when he's looking at me. Apart from that, I felt anger and I wanted revenge but I knew it's not the best thing to do.When he kissed me, it felt so real, I didn't know why but... but I felt the spark between us every time he touched me. The way he hugged me, I wanted it, it looked like my body craved for it. I coulfn't force myself to get angry with him, my heart betrayed my mind.My mind wanted me to neglect him but my heart kept on wanting him. The biggest thing that was frustrating me was, why am I feeling this? When I was supposed to hate him with all the things he did to me. The portraits I saw, I knew it had secrets that could unlock these questions I had in my mind. We had a deep connection, it's true, but what was that connection?"The dinner is ready, Sa
Arrow Black's POV"Let's go to the car, Samantha," we walked together outside the house. There I saw my black, cool, shiny and brand new hammer car waiting for us. The car was designed for rough grounds and mountaineering. I plan to take her to the top of the mountain. I opened the car door and lend my hand to help her get in the car.She accepted my hand and gave me a half-smile.How beautiful, I went inside the car and sat beside her pulling her close to me, surprisingly, she didn't contradict."Let's go, Frank," I ordered. Frank had always been my other driver when Shadow was not around. He was my transporter, one of my trusted people."Yes, boss," with that, we drove off.We went out of the mansion gates and took the route going at the top of the mountains. All we could see all throughout the roads were different kinds of big trees. We could also hear the humming and chirping so
Arrow Black's POVAfter what happened a while ago I was still overwhelmed. She let me feed her peacefully. She ate a lot of cake and I ended eating some bread because she was hungry as hell.I just finished the meeting with the organization a while ago. Still, we're superior to the rival according to our references and we assume an attack for the next days so we needed to prepare. We wouldn't let them have their revenge, it's them who threatened us.I headed to her room to check her if she's alright. The suicide she did imprint a trauma in my heart. Every night that I was not with her felt like sleeping in fear. The thought of waking up and seeing my woman soaked on the bathtub with her own blood makes me stressed.Upon arriving, I saw her sitting on her bed, leaning back to the pillows behind her. Her face was still deadpan and crestfallen the same as her dark dull eyes. The aura she holds was nothing but an expres
Arrow Black's POVDare she lock the door!"Samantha, open the door," I requested in a humble tone while twisting the doorknob continuously. I didn't accept any response. Shit! This was confusing me."Samantha, open the door!" I shouted slightly. Still, there was no retort from her. I heard some sounds of flowing water and glass chirp."Samantha, open this fucking door!" I yelled pushing the door. "Fuck!Samantha, fucking open this door before I destroy it!" I screamed finally hitting the door. There was no reaction, I had no choice but fucking destroy this door.I stood back then run towards the door pushing with all my strength. At first attempt, it didn't break. Pushing again, the door opened."Samantha?" I gazed at the room but she was nowhere to be found. The IV and bandages were scattered on the bed. There were also blood drops leading the bathroom that made me
'Fear, it's in your mind, fight it. Pain, it's in your body, endure it.' DarkVergentSamantha Red's POVPainA pain that would stop you from uttering a word, moving and anything alive person could do. A pain that killed me and turned me into a living corpse. A pain in my heart that felt like being stabbed a thousand times. A pain in my body that would heal but will leave a deadly nightmare of the past.It was all over me, pain. My body it's bleeding, my heart it's broken, my soul it surrendered, my spirit it vanished, my life it's taken. I had nothing but pain.Shedding my tears of anguish I stared at this dark room alone. The atmosphere was lonely, the wind was cold, the smell seemed to be the smell of my own blood, the sound seems to be the sounds of my blood dripping on the floor. How unlucky I was? This was not life this was hell.Seeing this man's shirt who did this all, curse
"Life never became nor equal, it's true, but it doesn't mean we need to be unfair with other"-DarkVergentArrow Black's POVI left her alone. My patience went too far in handling her fiery attitude. I might end up doing something very nasty, she might end up pregnant before she could leave that room. She was one different woman, I knew that since we're kids but even her memory was blocked she remained austere as ever.I need to breathe for a moment then I would continue her torture. I admit the fact that it's hard to break her and make her submit to me but it's already close, I could see it from her eyes. She was close to giving up and she already fears me but in herself, she wouldn't admit the truth.Hell, I spend my life studying people's behavior so she couldn't hide from me seeing the truth in her eyes. Just a little bit more then she would submit to me. I would break her, soon.
Samantha Red's POVI was awakened when I felt someone staring at me. Slowly, I opened my eyes and I think my heart just halted when I saw who it was. My mind, body, heart, and soul froze like and an iceberg. It was him, Arrow found me so fast. He was sitting beside the bed glaring at me. My death had come to get me."Surprised, huh?" He whispered grinning confidently.I panicked. "H-How... did you... you... fi-find me?" I stammered. Damn Samantha! You had the guts to ask the man how did he find you when he would kill you so soon. Fuck!I grabbed the duvet and held it tightly emitting all my fear while I sat and move back the bed fearfully. If stares could kill, I must be dead right her right now."Who says I can't find you in my own place?" He proclaimed still smirking at me. God, even his smile was really devilish.He grabbed my right hand putting a handcuff roughl
