Chapter 17

“This is the last time you are going to speak to me in such a manner. If you want discipline. I'll teach you discipline.” Kayden growled as he slammed her against the door behind her, his hard body pressing against hers as if he wanted to merge her into him, causing her eyes to widen.

Aria whimpered in fear, her body shuddering at their proximity. He reached down, and his hand went behind her to grab her ass, hauling her up against his body and causing Aria to feel the bulge in his pants on her belly. 

Aria gulped when she saw that predatory glint in his eyes, the same look he had yesterday that had made her wonder if he was her husband, but her stupid brain had refused to function at that time.

“Please, let me go,” she pleaded, tears welling up in her eyes. 

She realized her mistake. She had come to see this psychopath without any protection or backup plan. Damn, she didn't even tell anyone she was going to see Kayden. 

The man was a murderer and a psychopath, but here she was, stupidly delivering herself to him like a lamb to the slaughter. 

“Shhhh,” he whispered and added in a matter-of-fact tone. 

“I told you to leave several times yesterday, Ariana. You chose to stay, and you willingly told me you wouldn't regret it, baby doll. So now you are mine. I already told you to sign the divorce papers, but you disobeyed me and went to see him.” 

He paused and stared at her tear-stained face and added flatly, 

“Tell me, Ariana, how should I punish you for disobeying your master, huh?” 

“You're not my master,” Aria spat, but her words came out soft and scared instead of with the fierceness she had put into it. 

He grinned wickedly at her with a challenging look on his face. 

“I'm patient, babydoll; I wouldn't force it; you'd call me master yourself,” he said confidently, and Aria nearly rolled her eyes.

But since he was chatty now, Aria hoped she could use this opportunity to get away from him and voiced out her concerns.

“I need to get going; please step away from me,” she said and inwardly applauded herself for not stuttering even though she was scared out of her wits of the man in front of her acting out of character again.

“Whoever said you can go? I'm the one in charge here; you go when I say go, and you come anytime I say so. You're going to be at my beck and call, 24/7, whether rain or shine. Are we clear?” He demanded, reverting back to his cold self again.

Aria inwardly gulped but tried to look unafraid on the outside. 

“I can't do that, Kayden; you don't own me. I'm your sister-in-law, damnit, so please stay away from me, and I'll make sure my husband never finds out what his brother did to his unsuspecting wife,” Aria said righteously.

Kayden scoffed as if he was watching a clown and pulled out his phone. 

“Should we call him on my phone or yours? I'd like to know my little brother's thoughts on his wife fucking his brother. How she was moaning and asking for more and orgasming three times when he lay like a vegetable in a hospital bed… Something I'm sure has never happened between the both of you before. I want to see how he feels about being cuckolded by his wife and his favorite elder brother,” Kayden taunted before pulling out his phone and clicking on Jayden's number, causing Aria's eyes to widen.

“No! Don't!” She exclaimed and tried to snatch the phone from Kayden, but he held it up to the ceiling out of her reach.

He began to take steps away from her causing Aria to chase him now.

Aria jumped and tried to grab the phone, but all her attempts failed. 

Her heart was thumping, fearing the call would be answered any moment from now and not having an idea what to do to make Kayden cut the call; every second she heard the dial tone from the phone, her heart raced in fear.

Feeling desperate, she decided to let go of her pride and give in. 

‘Jayden must never find out about her debauchery with Kayden. He mustn't find out; it would hurt him.' 

“Please cut the call…Master.” 

Kayden pressed the end call button as soon as he heard those words spill from her mouth; it caused a fierce possessiveness to roll over him. The monster in him reveled in her forced submission.

‘No power in the world could stop him from keeping this woman to himself. She was his!' 

Aria had no idea that her constant jumping was causing her dress to rise up her thighs, and Kayden was watching her fair legs and thighs plus her heaving chest as she panted for air. It caused her breasts to rise and fall, stretching the fabric of her dress and an unknown heat grew within him. 

“That wasn't so hard, was it?” He smirked, and his hands went behind her, yanking her towards him with force, causing her to yell in fright at his sudden fierceness.

Aria had no time to protest when his hands slid over her breasts and cupped them over her clothes as he began to knead them. 

Aria pushed against him, trying to get away from him, but his hold was so strong she couldn't even move. She decided to risk it all, threw her head back, and raised it again intending to hit him on the nose, but alas, her forehead only hit his chin.

She lifted her gaze to stare into his eyes and froze at the boiling rage swirling within them. Aria's senses screamed at her to run, and so she did. She ran to the door and turned the doorknob, trying to escape but it wouldn't budge. 

“Don't bother, it's locked,” his voice, like that of the devil's, sounded behind her, and Aria knew she was doomed.
