CHAPTER 4

I will have to keep myself sane and just try to protect myself from that creeper. 

She started rubbing her neck, wrists, collarbone all those places where he touched her. As if the water will remove touch. Her skin became rough and red due to rubbing. 

She wrapped a towel around her body and her teeth and she saw her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were red due to crying. She saw a dark purple hickey on her neck and collarbone when she touched it, she hissed in pain. 

I don't like his mark on me. I hate him. I hate him so damn much. 

She wore those clothes and went into the room. She rubs her hair with the towel. 

And then sit on the couch. Suddenly her stomach growled. She was hungry.

She sat there staring at the room for anything. Which could be of any advantage but nothing. 

There was just one walk-in wardrobe, a dressing table, a king-sized bed, and a large window. 

She went towards the window and it was locked. She looked outside and it was like late afternoon. And there were only trees surrounding the house, nothing just nothing else. I was on the second floor of the house I thought. There was a glass door behind the curtain. 

She was towards the door and tried to open it but it was also locked. 

I saw through the glass door there was a beautiful veranda and there was a beautiful pool with some chairs on the side. Wow, this is beautiful.

Suddenly I heard a clicking sound and my head snapped towards the door. 

There came an aged woman of about 50 into the room with a try which I think is food. 

When she saw me she smiled and I just stared at her. She looked kind. She might help me get out of here. 

I walked towards her and she put the tray with delicious-looking food on the side table. 

She held her gently. The woman looked at her and murmured. 

"You're really beautiful." Woman murmured. 

"Please, can you help me? Please, a guy kidnapped me. Help me please." She asked helplessly. 

"Eat your food. And I can't help you, my child." The woman told her softly.

"I will not eat. Help me get out of here, please." She pleaded. 

Someone growled behind her. Sending her heartbeat on the marathon race.

"You'll EAT!!" His gruff voice came.

She looked back and froze there standing the monster in a tux. Staring at her angrily. He snapped his fingers and the woman walked past her. She gave her a pleading look of don't go, but she looked at her with pity and left. 

His continuous stare was burning me. He then moved towards the and locked it.

She watched him in horror. He marched towards her and she moved back. He stopped and spoke

"Eat NOW!" He warned. 

"I will not eat. Let me go home." She demanded. 

"I'm asking you for the last time. EAT. IT. 

RIGHT. NOW!" He roared, angrily.

I moved a step back and shook my head in negative. I will not eat. I would rather die due to starvation but won't eat until I go home.

From inside she was terrified but she wouldn't show him that she was scared. 

He took threatening steps towards her.

He removed his coat and threw it on the bed and then removed his tie.

His intentions aren't good and I know. 

She ran for the only safe spot which was the bathroom , but he held her arm and yanked her back towards his chest. She put her hands on his chest to maintain some distance. 

He took his hands and tied them with his tie behind her back. Fear crawled into her veins. 

He sat on the couch near the bed and in an instant pulled her on his lap he forcefully pulled me closer by crossing his legs around his waist. 

She started struggling.

"You'll eat or do you want me to feed you?" He threatened. 

A slight smirk was playing on his lips. Idiot, you have already tied my hands. She didn't answer him, she was struggling hard. And a slight growl erupted from his chest. 

"You're making me horny, woman. 

Stop moving." He growled. 

She stared at him with wide eyes at his shameless sentence. All the heat crept to her neck and cheeks, and she stopped struggling.

He brought a spoonful full of rice in front of her and I turned her face away. I won't eat. But she kept quite scared of his anger. 

He put the spoon down and held the nape of her neck and pulled her into a kiss, she struggled and kept my mouth shut, he squeezed her butt hard and a gasp left her mouth, taking that as an advantage he started devouring my mouth.

After some time. He moved back and I watched him with teary eyes. How dare he touch me like that, he was smirking and said.

"Do you want me to repeat it? Or you'll eat?" He warned. 

I immediately shook my head, then nodded 

And all the blush crept to my cheeks. 

He then fed her all the food with a spoon. And she silently ate, not wanting him to repeat the act. 

After that, he removed me from his lap and opened her hands, and said something which stopped her life. 

Jason spoke a sentence that sealed her life. "We will be marrying in a week." 

Maria POV:

He left after saying those words. She felt numb as if her life had stopped. She can't even breathe properly. 

Her knees felt like jelly and she fell on the floor. 

She sat there crying her life out. She don't know long she sat there and cried. 

A knock on the door pulled her out of her trance. She looked up and saw the same woman.

She saw her on the floor and put the tray of the food on the bedside table and rushed toward her.

She held her face in both of her hands and wiped her tears. 

"Don't cry, child. You'll be fine shhh"

The woman consoled her.

She hugged her and cried, her tears were wetting her shirt, but she didn't care and patted her head and comforted her.

"H-he said *sob* he will marry *sob* me after a week. I don't *sob* want it. I want to *sob* go home. I'm just *sob* twenty." Maria cried out. 

"It's okay. Stop crying child shhh. I'm here." That woman spoke. 

She stayed in that hugging position for a while and her sobs died after a while. She broke the hug and cleared her face with her hands. 

"What's your name child?" That elderly lady asked. 

"My name is Maria. What's yours?" She asked softly. 

"My name is Monica. But everyone called me Big M. I work here as a head maid." The woman replied. 

She smiled. Maria smiled back at her and asked her.

"Where am I? Do you know him? Are there more people who live here? Why did he kidnap me?" 

"I can't tell you where you are but this place is far away from the main city. 

And he is Jason. He is rude and hard on the outside, but he is so soft and a good man from the heart. I raised him after his parents. He is hurt. He is like my son, but he never shows it in front of anyone. And only Jason lives here and me and my daughter, she is of your age we managed the house. And lastly, I don't know why he brought you here. He never brought a girl home. It's unlike him.  

And NO MORE QUESTIONS. Eat your dinner." She told her sternly. 

She said smiling. I nodded and she left after locking the door. 

I saw the food and events of the morning flashed in front of me. I ignored it and ate my food silently. The food was delicious. 

After dinner, she lay down on the bed and she felt sleepy. There was no wall clock in the room. So she couldn't know what time it was at the moment. 

She looked at the door and went towards it and tried to open it but it was locked, so she locked it from inside as well. So that the monster won't come " but who am I kidding his evil voice is the door lock. 

So she pulled the side table in front of the door. Now she got a little satisfied, so she went to bed and her parents' thoughts came to her mind. " I know they would have been searching for me. 

It's been more than 2 days since I think I'm here. They will be hell worried. She hopes they find her before he forcefully marries her. 

"I don't understand what he wants from me. He said something about me being his key and revenge. What did I ever do wrong to him? And why is he doing this to me? 

I never had a relationship in my 20 years of lifetime. I know I'm beautiful with white milky skin and hazel eyes with moose brown hair till my waist and a nice body. 

Many guys wanted to be in a relationship with me. But I avoided it. I only wanted to be with the man I love. I wanted the man I love to be my first in everything. 

But this psycho stole my first kiss. A small tear stained my cheek. I hate him so much. 

I want my answers and I'll ask him directly this time. 

And I dozed off to sleep. 

The next morning

She woke up to the knock on the door. She jumped up and unfortunately fell on the floor. She groaned in pain. 

Then she asked who was there and the voice came, Monica. She felt relieved and opened the door. 

"She looked at me in disbelief at how I locked the door from the back and I just shrugged. 

"Thank God that it is just me. Or the boss would be so furious." Big M spoke concerned. 

"Boss?" Maria asked, confused. 

"Jason everyone called him boss." 

Monica informed me.

She gave me my food and left. 

It's been 3 days and I haven't seen Jason. I'm happy that I don't have to see that monster but I also want my answers. 

I asked Monica about him and she said he is out on a business trip. I wondered what kind of business he does. 

Today as always Monica brought my dinner and left. I ate my dinner. 

I didn't have any clothes here to wear. So I wear the guy clothes in the wardrobe in the room. Which, I think, is his. 

I had fixed the couch in front of the glass door of the veranda. Taking in the beautiful view. And sometimes tears gathered in my eyes thinking about my life and I just sat there crying the whole day. 

It was late at night. I thought so because I was feeling sleepy. 

I miss my home, my bed even though it's not this peaceful but I still miss those I left behind. 

She went towards the door and was locking it but it accidentally opened and she watched the door in delight.

She looked out of the door and saw a hallway with a few other doors and stairs. 

Monica would be asleep by now. So she slowly and quietly went towards the stairs and went upstairs.

The hall was empty and there was a large brown door in the middle.

She opened it and it wasn't locked. She went inside and there was a large office. "Which, I think, is his." 

I went towards the table and hesitantly opened the drawers. In the first drawer there were a few files. Not important ones and in the second drawer, there was a black file. 

I opened it and saw my father's pic together with a young man of 25 years old, two of them seem close together in the pictures and the young man looks a little like my dad when he was younger. 

And the file fell on the floor. I shaiky kneel down to pick it. 

But I saw there was a gun attached under the table and my breath hitched. 

She stood up and then everything happened in an instant, she was slammed on the table on her back. Her wrists are on each side of her head and her legs hang down from the table. 

And I opened my eyes in pain and saw him. JASON.   

In an instant she was slammed on the office desk with my back hitting the desk hard. 

"An unbearable pain erupted through my back due to the force of the hit and a small decoration piece was slicing through my skin at the back.

My wrists were held firmly on both sides of my hand. And my legs were hanging down off the desk. 

And the most furious Jason was standing in between my legs. And was hovering over me.

His eyes were pitch black. Jaw clenched can cvvc cv cvv he was glaring at me. And held my wrists more tightly. 

"AHH!!! Please stop. You're hurting me." She cried out.

She was panicking and fear consumed her. He was looking monstrous and ready to kill her. He growled. Moving closer to her. 

"How dare you! Who, let you out."

Jason hissed. 

She just kept quite looking at him in his dark pitch eyes. And she was biting her lips to stop the scream of pain erupting because of her back. Due to his ferocious grip.
