Elena’s POV My eyes widened in shock as Alex’s handprint reddened my cheeks. I felt a surge of humiliation, but I refused to back down.“How dare you?” I spat my voice trembling with rage. “You’re defending her, not me. Your girlfriend?” I growled in shame. “And why would I apologize to her? I was just being honest she’s a mistress and she knows it”. I spat out bluntly.“The same way you’re a helpless orphan or rather a homeless girlfriend”. Kalyan chipped in.“Kalyan it’s enough now you shouldn’t talk to her like that”. Bonnie shunned her. Bonnie steps forward, her eyes flashing with anger. “Alex, you shouldn’t have been harsh towards Elena. You can’t just hit her like that, it's not fair she’s your girlfriend and not a punching bag. Bonnie stated.But Alex is unrepentant. “Stay out of this Bonnie this is just between Elena and I and you sho…“Hey baby”. Kalyan smirked, enjoying the drama. “I think Alex knows who’s important to him”. She said her voice was dripping with condescensi
Elena’s POV "Come on, Elena, eat something," Alex coaxed. "You're being stubborn again."My mind raced. I knew that I needed to escape, but my body betrayed me. I took a bite of food, hoping to regain some strength.As I ate, Alex stroked my hair, his touch making my skin crawl. "You're mine, Elena. I love you, and I'll take care of you. Just stop fighting me. Just eat so you will have strength for me”. “Strength for you? How? What do you mean?” I asked him for clarification.As I swallowed the food, I felt a surge of revulsion. I knew what Alex's words really meant. He wanted me strong enough to satisfy his twisted desires. I couldn't bear the thought of his touch, his hands on me, his…I pushed the plate away, my appetite gone. "I'm full," I lied, trying to sound convincing.Alex's eyes narrowed. "Don't play games with me, Elena. You need to eat. You need to be strong... for me."I shuddered at the implication. I knew what would happen if I refused. The bruises on my body still ac
Elena’s POV “Alex, you must be very stupid”. I yelled at him. You’re a monster, you are evil, and I hate you”. I spat at him and left the living room.I sneakily walked around the house, and to my greatest surprise, there was no one there. Was Alex just trying to pull my legs or is this one of his tricks? I thought. I sighed and headed to my room as I was about to open the door, I heard a knock on the door. I rushed to get the door open to my greatest surprise. It was Alex.“Hey Alex, I thought you were just inside your room? When did you leave the house?” I questioned him, unsure of what he would say next.“Oh yes, I just went out for a walk”. He smiled at me “Okay then, I made dinner for us since Klara was not too strong. Take your shower and come down for dinner”. I startedA few minutes later a dazzling young lady walked past Alex, this time around it was not Kalyan but someone different. Alex grabbed her ass and they pulled a deep kiss in front of me.“Oh Elena, meet my dazzli
Elena’s POVI crept into the kitchen, trying not to make a sound. I needed a glass of water to calm my racing thoughts. As I entered, I was met with a sight that made my blood run cold.Alex and Sophie were standing by the counter, their lips locked in a passionate kiss. Elena's heart shattered into a million pieces. She felt like she'd been punched in the gut.Sophie's hands were wrapped around Alex's neck, pulling him closer. Alex's hands were on her waist, holding her tight. They were lost in their little world, oblivious to my presence.My eyes welled up with tears. I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. I wanted to scream, to yell, to throw something. But I was frozen in place, unable to move or speak.The kiss seemed to last forever. Finally, Alex and Sophie broke apart, gasping for air. They smiled at each other, their eyes shining with happiness.Finally, Alex and Sophie noticed my presence, he turned to me and smiled like nothing happened.“Hey Elena, what’s good? Why are you
Elena’s POV “You’re so cheap, what were you thinking? Do you think Bonnie's house is the safest place to be? Oh poor little Elena you are so innocent and stupid”. Alex growled.“At least, she’s way better than you and you know it you monster”. I spilled bluntly.Alex pulled me back and gave me a hot slap.“If loving you makes me a monster then so be it. No get inside”. He yelled.“Am done with this, stay away from me”. I yelled and ran inside my room.As weeks went by I was still with Alex, his abuse and manipulation became worse than I could imagine. The only person I could most times talk to is Bonnie. She's been the only person that I could rely on.It was the weekend already, and I was alone. Alex was out as usual. I just had to stroll to see Bonnie at home. Bonnie was watching a movie and enjoying herself.I rang the doorbell and she opened the door for me. “Hey girl, how are you doing?” She snapped.“I’m fine baby girl, it seems like you’re having fun alone”. “Oh yes, I am so
Elena’s POV“How on earth are you so heartless you monster? And yes, what was the meaning of what you just did yesterday?” I asked Alex, fuming in anger.“You are so cheap and always lurking around the wrong people”. Alex spilled bluntly “Meaning?” I asked him in curiosity.“It means you left this house yesterday without my permission. Who the fuck are you to even go out of this house?” He spilled out bluntly. “I bought you with my kindness and you’re alone in this world, that is enough reason why you should and must do anything with my permission you ass hole”. He slammed.I stood there speechless and how did Alex know that I wasn’t at home yesterday? A lot of thought was going through my mind at that moment.“Please get out of my way if you don’t have anything to say to me as you can see I am late for work already”. He pushed me aside and left the house I stood still for a few minutes before I ran to my room and picked up my phone. I had to dial Bonnie’s number.“Hey baby girl, h
Elena’s POV “Wow this is so nice, I look like a princess, Alex is so sweet”. I exclaimed.Alex bought a very nice long dress and long hair. Indeed he wants me to look my best for the date. I became so happy. Maybe Alex wants to make up for everything. I quickly dialed Bonnie’s number to tell her the good news.“Hey Bonnie, how are you doing?” I asked her, smiling like never before.“Hmm someone is happy today what’s the secret?” She asked with curiosity.“Yes, you can say that again!! I exclaimed “So what’s with the happiness?” Bonnie slammed.“Alex is taking me out on a date”. I spilled out. “And guess what”. I asked her “Oh my God Elena, I am so happy for you. At least you’re finally getting the love you deserve”. She uttered “Thanks, Bonnie it all happened because of you, I can’t thank you enough”. I responded “Let’s not do the emotional moment yet”. She teased as she burst into laughter.“You still haven’t answered me, Bonnie “. I reminded her.“Oh please can you repeat the q
Elena’s POV “Oh come on why are you in a haste to get hurt? Why can’t you wait to see who deserves the ring first?” He said with a husky smile. I stood there speechless looking at what would happen next. A few moments later a lady walked past me.“What? Bonnie? What are you there? You were meant to be with your man right? I asked her with curiosity.“Yes sweetheart and here I am baby” Bonnie responded. She came close to me and whispered. “With my man right in front of you”. “What the heck is happening here?” I felt so ridiculous I ignored Bonnie and went straight to Alex and held his hand. “Alex please say something just look at me and tell me that it’s not true please Alex just say something we have been through a lot for you to just treat me like trash”. I burst into tears.Bonnie chipped in. “Oh my God poor Elena, please I can explain”. Bonnie’s smile faltered.“Explain what? Your affair with my abuser?”Bonnie’s expression turned cold. “Oh my God you’re such a sweet and innoc
