ROSE

I had to get out of here. My eyes stung with the tears for the boy I used to know, the boy I’d called brother and grew up with was no longer here in this man. This man was obsessed with the idea of me being his.

I was naïve when it comes to certain things but not foolish. I knew I had to get away, to run from him before he took me to wherever he thought we were going. Because once he took me out of this city no one would be able to find me, I was certain of that.

“My head hurts, Adi.” I said as softly as I could.

He looked at me, his eyes assessing, then his gaze turned to those soft brown that I always loved, caring and worried. “Those fuckers hit you, did they??” He hugged me to him and I almost checked my reflex to push him away. “Don’t worry I’ll take care of you. Always.”

“Can you bring me a glass of water? I’m so thirsty...” I put a little whine in my voice to let him know that I was being placid.

“Yeah, sure.” He patted my cheek the way he used to when we were

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   58. She has to be here

    RYAN Michael was driving the car while I sat on the passenger seat, in front of us there was another van with tinted windows in which Michael's security guys were. We were following the tracker when the call came from Rose's cell phone. I quickly tapped the accept button thinking maybe she’d escaped somehow and was trying to reach me, but the voice of the man on the other side crushed down that hope like a bug under the shoe. “Where is she?” I barked into the phone. “Where she's meant to be, white boy.” The man replied, chuckling. My jaw ached because of how tightly it was clamped, I said through gritted teeth, “I’ll fucking tear you apart if you even touched a hair on her head.” The man laughed loudly this time as he said, “No, man, we didn't get money to put our hands on her, not that it'd be hard considering her smooth white skin…” “I will kill you!!” I bellowed, my hands curling into fists as I smashed one into the dashboard. “We aren't even doing anything,” I

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   59. Will you please clean me?

    RYAN I didn’t pay much attention to where we were going as Michael drove us. The moment I'd settled in the backseat of the car with her soft weight in my lap, I’d forgotten everything. My sole focus was on the woman who was unconscious as she laid in my arms with her head resting against my chest. Her breathing was shallow, and her eyelids were fluttering in a restless manner. My gaze locked on her hand which was swelling with every passing second, there was no doubt that the bone in her wrist was broken. And it fucking enraged me that the arsehole had managed to hurt her. I pushed the tangled tendrils of her hair back from her forehead, accidentally grazing her split skin there. Her lips parted on a silent gasp. “Hush…” I placed a soft kiss on her forehead just as the car came to a stop. I looked around noticing that we were back at the club but instead of the front, it looked like the back of the building. “What the fuck, Michael! Why are we here?” “We are here because s

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   60. Sex. Condom. Children?

    Thirty minutes after the doctor gave her an injection.... RYAN After the doctor left, it didn’t take long for the medicine to affect her. In less than fifteen minutes she was fast asleep, leaving me no choice but to pull the blanket over her and leave her in peace to sleep. After the day she and I had, I think we both deserved some time to unwind. I was sipping my third glass of scotch while Michael watched reruns of cricket world cup, and yes, the one in which India won. I took a small sip from my glass not gulping it down, as much as my mind and body demanded the drugs at the moment to take the edge off, and the fact that I didn’t have the pills in hand to cure my agitation, I was drinking but considerably. Just when the captain hit the six, I heard the loud sound of crash coming from the kitchen. Michael and I looked at each other for a brief second, then we sprang up from the couch as we ran toward the kitchen and came to a halt as I watched Rose standing behind the coun

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   61. I belong to you

    ROSE I woke up feeling like I’ve been hit by a truck and then dragged through the Sahara for better effects. The room was unfamiliar, and looked like someone had pulled out a crazy around here. Everything was out of place and scattered around on the floor. The other side of the bed was made giving the indication that no one slept here with me. I exhaled a breath that I didn’t knew I was even holding, but the next moment I stilled as I realised that under the blanket my legs were bare, looking down I saw that I was wearing a full sleeves shirt, Ryan’s shirt. I felt myself relax, but... Where was he? And, where was I? What happened yesterday… And, why do I feel like…. Then it all came slamming back to me. My heart beating like hooves of horses were running across my chest, I slipped the blanket down and looked fixatedly on my hands. One was in a cast and other one was bandaged, so that only the middle of my fingers were visible. I didn’t realise when the tears started to flow. I

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   62. I'm scared to sleep alone

    ROSEWhen we arrived at the building, Ryan took me to my apartment. I was a little disappointed. I guess, I wanted more of his tender care. Once inside the apartment, Ryan stepped aside to make a phone call so I decided to freshen up and change into a fresh set of clothes. By what I can remember I knew that he showered me last night, so I just wanted to grab my pyjamas and his fresh t-shirt, then I plan to eat my weight in something chocolaty and pass out, preferably in his arms. But, there was a slight problem with my plan, I couldn’t do much with my hand in a cast. I decided to first brush my teeth, putting my mouth under the tap to wash it out. And then I did the same to wash my face. I just let the water run over my face through the tap, closing my eyes, and dried it with the towel afterwards. That done, I went to get myself the help I needed from the grey-eyed lion, who apparently was hiding his ability to turn into a tender bear. But, when I came out of my room Ryan was nowher

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   63. Fûcked you hundred ways to Sunday

    ROSE After carrying me into the bedroom, Ryan had helped me out of my clothes as tenderly as he could and despite the way he had been ignoring me before, he’d tucked me to his side, his arms tight around me as he had held me like he was afraid of losing me. And, I had slept like a baby, feeling safe. But, when I woke up next morning, I was alone. I looked around, stretching my hand to his side of the bed only to find it cold, which told me that he was long gone. I found my phone on the bedside table and picked it up, a quick look at the screen told me it was nine-thirty in the morning. I was late. And, why didn’t he wake me up for the office? I quickly got up, spied his discarded shirt and wore with half buttons undone as I couldn’t do all of them with one hand. After that I made my way to the bathroom, seeing to the pressing need of my bladder. I also brushed my teeth and washed my face as much as I could with the help of the tap. I also wanted to take a shower but I knew it wasn

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   64. She trapped me. Exposed me.

    RYAN I was in my car with Gavin, once again following the GPS to find her. It seemed that I was always chasing her. What the fuck was wrong with me, why the hell she was always in my mind? I had specifically told Monica that Rose wasn’t allowed to come to office. And by that I meant that she was to stay in the apartment and rest, not go out, roaming around the city, all the while bandaged and in pain as she refused to take painkillers. And this time I also didn’t force her after what happened last time. A shudder wracked my system thinking about it. Damn, she could be so quick and so unpredictable under the influence, I couldn't predicted. “It’s a stadium.” Gavin announced from beside me as he hunted for a parking spot. I stepped out of the car, unbuttoning my suit jacket. My brows lifted as I took in my surroundings when we entered the very much crowded stadium. It was full to the rafters. I read the banners and came to know that there was a concert going on. By the excitem

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   65. A Cheater. Bloôdy Bastàrd.

    ROSE Well… I managed to ruffle the feathers or should I say mane of the lion. The look Ryan gave me when he had come behind me was priceless. His eyes had said what he’d like to do to me. The burning desire in his eyes when he saw my dress slipping past my shoulders, exposing me to his hungry eyes was everything that I was wishing for. But again he managed to control it. What I wasn’t understanding was why he was controlling it? Why wasn’t he demanding my apologies for defying him? The flash of jealousy and anger when I had mentioned Arjun and Michael’s name told me that he wasn’t unaffected, then why was he trying to be? I heard his footsteps outside, in the living room as I slipped the heels from my feet. I heard the apartment door open and close shut, and wondered if he left me here naked and wanting and waiting. I wouldn’t put it past him. But, then I heard Gavin, he sounded irritated. As I waited for something to give me a clue to what was going to happen now, my phone pin

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   EPILOGUE- But It's Not An End

    THREE WEEKS AFTER HE LEFT…. ROSE For the second time I woke up in the darkened hospital room, this time alone. As I looked through my blurry eyes, I realised that it was the same room and same hospital in which I had woken up seven days after he disappeared from my life. I blinked a few more times thinking why I couldn’t see properly and realised a moment later when I felt the wet trails on my temple. Fuck! What was wrong with me? I was a crying mess and I was tired of crying! I just wanted to feel nothing. It was too damn much. I couldn’t stop this churning in my stomach. I couldn’t understand what I had become. I wasn’t this person. I couldn’t even imagine how I had come to this. No one would believe me if I told them that I was the same woman who had been kidnapped and suffered near rape. And still managed to live on.But, here I was, a hollow shell of a person I once was. I felt sorry for the woman I was, a woman who knew how to fight, who was stronger than I was now but n

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   87. Mrs Ryan Johnson

    ROSE I woke up to the sun shining from the window. The room still smelled of Ryan. The sheets smelled of us. And I smiled as I remembered last night. God, I had confessed my love for him. He had made such beautiful promises to me. He’d made vows to me. He loved me. He didn’t say it in words but it was in his vows. I looked at the time, it showed seven forty in the morning which means he’d still be here in the apartment. When I flipped the covers off my body, my eyes stayed as wide as saucers. What the fuck!! I wanted to laugh… and get angry at him. He had covered my body from my neck to my inner calves in bite marks. There were finger marks on my skin and bruises like I had been in a wrestling match. I jumped out of the bed, meaning to confront him but then I remembered more of the last night. “Fuck!” I groaned, slumping down on the bed as I hid my face behind my hands.How would I face him? Damn it… what the hell he had done to me last night.. it was out of the world, it

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   86. I gave her my heart

    RYAN I remembered her words from the day I had blackmailed her, like it was said just yesterday. "Mr. R.k., I promise you, you'll regret the day you met me, the same way I do. I'll make you hate yourself for doing this to me. As much as I hate you." She fucking did it. Not the hate part. No, I didn’t hate myself for all the things that I did to her. I didn’t hate myself for the road I had taken to get her. But, I sure hated myself for what I was feeling for her. I hated myself for giving her the one thing that I hadn’t possessed, of which only part was safe with someone I loved more than my life, but now this woman, my lioness, had it in her hands and she didn’t even have any idea about it. Not knowing when and how, I had given her my heart and now I hated myself for it. She was right, and her promise was not in vain as I sure fucking regret the day I met her. Because if I hadn’t met her then I wouldn’t be here at three in the morning sitting beside the bed and gazing down

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   85. I Won't Let You Fall

    ROSE By the time we parted and ended the kiss we were both out of breath, huffing and puffing. And smiling like loons in each other’s faces, we didn’t care that we both were drenched to the bones from the rain beating down on us. “Rose….” The serious expression on his face and a guarded look in his eyes brought me crashing down on the surface. I was wary as I asked, “What?” He must have sensed my uneasiness because his hands cradled my face from both sides and his lips tilted at the corner as he said, “I didn’t have any idea that I’d say this but… I’m sorry, Rose, for hurting you…” Tears spilled and mixed with the rain water on my face as my smile widened and I said, playfully, knowing he wouldn’t do it. “If you want my forgiveness then do it properly, Mr. Ryan K. Johnson.” He raised his perfect dark brow at me in question and I smirked, saying, “In my country you’ve to go down on your knees and hold your ears then ask for my forgiveness.” I waggled my brows at him. And,

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   84. I vow to love you forever

    ROSE I didn’t want to talk to him. I hadn’t spoken to him since the day I slapped him. Although every night he fûcked me like he hated me, he never touched me, I never allowed it. The one time when he had whispered in my ear, a very hoarse and painful, “My lioness.” Instead of crying like I’d wanted to, I had turned away from him and dutifully like a toy he bought for fucking, I was on my knees facing away from him to finish what he had begun. With every thrust and every light caress on my back I knew that he regretted what he had done to us, but I didn’t give him reprieve from the guilt he must have been feeling. Because, I was hurt. I was devastated for what his words had done to me. I was heartbroken because somewhere deep down I knew his feelings and his emotions for me didn’t run that much deeper as mine did for him. When he had tried to kiss me, I had simply turned my face away leaving his lips grazing my cheek. I wasn’t trying to be defiant, I just didn’t have it in me t

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   83. I craved her

    ROSE I waited. I waited some more. He didn’t come. And, I realised that despite me not wanting to be one, I seriously became a pathetic wife of a fourth grade movie. The last I checked the time before my body gave up on me and my eyes closed on their own accord, the clock showed 1:20 in the morning. The sleep didn’t come easy, even when my body was exhausted. The scene I had watched on the local news kept running through my mind. He’d changed his clothes, obviously in the office. In black form fitting three piece suit showing his muscular arms and strong thighs with those broad shoulders he stared into the camera like someone had given him the sour lemon to suck on. But, I didn’t see the reason of his disappointment other than the lack of privacy because that stick thin bitch who I’d seen him with in the restaurant last time I’d the unfortunate luck to find them together, was glued to his side like a jock. In one of the picture, she posed with her arms around his neck

  • My Boss Is My Tormentor   82. I'll be waiting, Ryan

    RYAN I was on my desk, still thinking about last night when Rose had kissed me all over my face and body as if apologizing for my crappy childhood where my parents didn't love me. And it felt good. My mind was also filled with the conversations I had this morning on the phone with her, when Rose had knocked on my office door. “Come in.” I had caught the eye roll she did before she could hid it from me. “Are you rolling your eyes at me, Miss Kapoor?” “No.” She answered immediately, her face pink. “I wasn't.” She shook her head for good measure. I only lifted my eyebrow at her, a smirk on my lips. “I just wanted to ask, when are we leaving?” “Come here.” I said. She looked at me then back at the door, a contemplative expression on her face. I pushed the button to lock the door. Rose came forward, a little unsure and a little excited. She loved my games as much as I loved playing them. She stood in front of me on the other side of the desk. I pushed my chair back and patted t

    RYAN “I will be there,” I said into my phone, pacing around my office. My fingers beating an erratic rhythm on my thigh. “But, I miss you.” Came the softly spoken words. “I miss you, too.” I replied, closing my eyes and dragging a hand on my face. “Please, come soon…” “I will. I promise.” When I turned back around, Arjun looked at me with his brows high up on his forehead. “What?” I barked at him. I was restless. I needed to go home. My soul was beating me day and night for staying here. But, my mind and body wanted to live here. With her in my arms. With Rose. With my lioness. “So, you’re going back?” My best friend and bane of my existence asked. “Wasn’t that what you wanted?” I tossed back at him as I took my seat behind my desk. “Sure, but, you obviously don’t want to.” “Shut up.” I hissed at him. “Book the flight for took weeks from now.” “Two weeks?” “Yes. Two weeks.” Everything was back at home. Everything, but her. And, I had to accept it. I had
