Alex’s POVThe morning sun cast a golden glow over the streets as I walked beside Linda, but I barely felt its warmth. My body ached in ways I didn't want to acknowledge, and Every step sent a dull ache up my legs, but I kept my expression neutral, refusing to let it show. But despite everything, something about today felt happy, I couldn’t help the anticipation coursing through my veins.Maybe it's because of the fact, that I could not wait to take my revenge today.Linda walked beside me, her eyes flickering toward me every few seconds like she was waiting for me to break. I could tell she had hundred and one questions burning through her.I could probably imagine what might be going through her head but i won't talk, not unless i was made to talk. I guess I enjoyed taunting people a little too much nowadays.She was never the type to hold back when something was on her mind, and I could already tell she was about to crack.We had barely made it past the school gate before she blu
Alex PovAndrian didn't show his stupid face in school today. Even for the practice, he had not come to the practice. I was battling with different emotions that I don't even know which one is which. I was disappointed that I had not seen his reaction I had been dying to see.I'm happy that he didn't come at all. The prospect of facing him after what had happened between us was like a bridge I didn't know how to cross.On the other hand, I was a little bit worried. His teammates didn't have any idea where he could have been. And I don't know why but I keep having bad feelings about it.“So, how was the practice today? You know, with him?”My stomach twisted at the mention of Andrian, but I kept my expression neutral.“good” I murmured, completely not in the mood to talk.Linda gave me a long look, so much that I panicked despite myself. “What?”“You fucked?”“What!!” I blurted out in shock, staring wide eyed at a smiling Linda. “I know it, all the quietness, then you looking for an
Alex’s POVI didn’t expect Andrian to skip school again. For the fourth time in a row.When I walked through the gates that morning, I was fully prepared for him to be there, waiting. I imagined him standing by the lockers, arms crossed, that ever-present scowl on his face. I'd imagine him slamming my locker shut as I opened it. With anger blazing his face like a molten magma. Maybe he’d call me an idiot for leaving the way I did.Maybe he'd grab my wrist and demand answers.I was ready for it. I was waiting for it.But he never showed.And for some reason, that pissed me off more than anything.********************By third period, the whispers had started."Is Andrian sick?""I heard he hasn’t been answering anyone’s calls.""Coach is losing his mind over it.""Maybe he just quit."Even his teammates, which I had eavesdropped on during their conversation a few seconds ago, were also not aware of his whereabouts. I sat at my desk, my foot tapping restlessly against the floor. The t
Everywhere was dark, just like how my heart felt at this moment. The moment I had read that note in the cabin, something inside me died. I had lost count of the days. I had been locked up in the basement by my own father. No one to talk to, no sliver of light, just darkness, silence, and the occasional sound of footsteps bringing in food once a day by my father's bodyguard. My muscles were screaming from fatigue and weakness. My throat was dri, and my heart…my heart was in poeces. Plus, the pain that was constantly coming from my heart. Coupled with my situation, that made everything worse. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Alex’s face. His lips, whispering those words that shattered me. It was a mistake. I was dissatisfied. I forced my eyes open. I didn’t want to see it again. I know this was a punishment, but I would endure it until my father's anger cools down. The loud screeching of the basement door echoed throughout the small space, followed immediately by the sudden b
Andrian pov My father’s eyes flared with pure rage. The next slap was so hard that my head snapped to the side. “You disgust me” he scowled He held up his hand, stopping me from apologizing. Before I could react, he brought out the almost faded photograph of my mother. It's her only property that I have managed to keep when my father was cleansing her from our lives. Hence my nervousness. “You are the heir , my seed that will inherit all this wealth. But you are ungrateful, after all I have done for you. You still disobeyed me to keep this, this abomination. He was talking about the picture. “She is my mother…” “She is a slut, a weak and stupid woman who killed herself.” My father screamed in the little basement. “Don't ever call her a slut again” I warned, already seeing red for him disgracing my mother. “You dare talk to me…” “My mother didn't kill herself, you killed her, you are a murderer, and a manipulative bastard” There was a pregnant silence following my rants.
Alex’s POV I told myself I wouldn’t care. I told myself Andrian’s absence was his problem, not mine. But as the days passed, as the whispers grew, as the competition loomed closer and he still wasn’t here, my patience started to wear dangerously thin. He was supposed to be here. I needed to see him. I needed to know his reaction. And the fact that I didn’t? It was driving me insane. ************************** I felt like a ghost. Two weeks. It had been two whole weeks since I last saw Andrian, and in that time, everything had changed. Linda was pissed at me. Apparently she was not happy about my little stunts, and peter? Well Peter was nowhere to be found, always busy and I was ashamed to meet him, not after. Had betrayed his trust. And Andrian? He was just… gone. It was like he had never existed, like he had never been a part of my life. But I felt him. Everywhere. I couldn’t focus in class. I barely paid attention during rehearsals. I moved through the da
Alex povToday was the day of the competition, no conference, and still no words from Andrian.I stared at my reflection at the gigantic mirror in my room. A fine man in a royal blue tuxedo and a bow tie, together with a matching ribbon, stared right back at me. I curled my hair, not after I had dyed it pitch black. And to be honest, I was proud of my handwork. But I couldn’t smile. “Honey someone is waiting for you” My mother's voice floated up from downstairs. I had tried to convince her not to come for the school conference, especially knowing that she is working tirelessly to make sure that everything was going smoothly in my fathers company, but she had insisted, even canceling some Important meetings just to be there.I looked at myself one last time before going downstairs to see who was waiting for me.But froze at the stairs as I saw who it was. Linda.She was already dressed in a blue flowery dress. She looked stunning , and I could help raise a brow at what I was seei
Alex pov I have lost him. The guy I had ever loved, my first kiss, just walked in with a dangerously stunning woman after weeks of absence without even sparing me a glance. My heart was shattering into pieces. I could not breathe well. Andrian and his devilish whore had captivated the whole hall. That nobody had noticed when I had slept out of the hall. But Linda, my best friend, noticed me sneaking out of the hall. My tears were falling uncontrollably, blinding my vision. “Alex”, Linda called behind me, her quick steps following me, as she ran after me. I stopped when I was far away from the happy gathering, facing her eventually. “It's my fault, Linda. I messed up, I am a fool…” Linda pulled me into a hug, stopping me from my rambling. "Shut up, Alex," she murmured, rubbing my back soothingly. "You’re not a fool." I clung to her, my breath coming out in shaky bursts. I had held it together in the hall. Forced myself to look strong and unaffected ,but I know that I was dyi
Andrian povI was on cloud nine. No cloud ten. I was bordering on the brink of sanity. Alex was driving me insane. I felt like I would explode immediately. I thrust myself deep into his caven. Alex moans had made me lose control just for a second. I didn't care that this was just the second time Alex had had sex throughout his life, hence the need to go slow.But I was long gone to know all this. I was blinded by pleasure. Only Alex screaming had snapped me back to sanity.“I am so sorry…”I meant to pull away immediately, but Alex's hands gripped mine. My eyes caught his half close eyes, and he shook his head, emphasizing his words.“Noo, don't” Alex begged, almost desperate. He still held my hands as I struggled to follow my morals or listen to Alex's words.“I am serious andrian, don't, else I will kill you” he said, moving backward. I sucked in a deep breath, as Alex's action made me go deep inside him. Making him scream for the second time. This time, it was even louder than t
Alex pov“Ohh…” I said, the atmosphere becoming awkward. I fought the urge to ask more. Andrian never talks about his personal life or, more especially, his mother.But seeing how he sounded while talking about his mother, I couldn’t control my curiosity.“You want to know more, right? I could see it in your eyes.” When I was debating whether to ask more or not, andrian suddenly asked.I nodded, feeling caught red-handed.“This island is the property of my mother. She bought in at her peak of musical career when she was still playing music…”“Wait, is your mother the renowned…” “Yes” andrian answered, cutting me off. I frozeI didn't expect that the most renowned music goddess as they usually called her was Andrians mother. I couldn’t believe what i was hearingm i tried desperately to connect the dots, but i came out blank. But on the other hand, it was not that impossible. It suddenly made sense.Andrian is a music prodigy. Even more talented than I am. It was obvious in the compe
Alex’s POVThe most beautiful work of nature was just in front of me. I stared, mesmerized at the large expanse of water that stretched endlessly. The air was cool and moist. I could not resist taking a deep breath, marveling at how fresh and good the air was.The shallow part of the water sparkled with golden sand that felt soft under my feet. It was beautiful.No, almost magical, with the calm and quietness of the whole place.A small gasp slipped from my lips before I could stop it, and I felt Andrian staring at me while curving his mouth knowingly. "Like it?" he asked, his voice softer now.I turned to him, unable to hide the small smile tugging at my lips. "It’s perfect."Andrian’s gaze softened. "I knew you would."For a moment, we just stood there, letting the ocean breeze wash over us. Then, before I could react, Andrian started removing his clothes.“Hey…what are you…?”My voice trailed off, as he now stood only in his boxers. I suddenly felt hotness spread throughout my c
Alex’s POVAfter freshening up, Andrian told me to get dressed. From his tone, he was sounding very optimistic about this outing.. Saying we had someone to meet. He looked way too excited about this mysterious person, and his mystery was a fine place he would love to show me. Which only made me more curious.When we stepped out of the room, I was instantly hit by the fresh ocean breeze. Even though I had come out of the house before, I was too engrossed in my emotional drama to not notice the nice otherworldly scene. The house, no, the villa, was nestled perfectly on a cliff overlooking the sea. It was breathtaking, small and cozy, for couples. I blushed profusely when the couple came to my mind. Andrian noticed, “why are you flustered?” he pinched my cheeks, which annoyed me the most, and made me blush the more. “Nothing” I answered, looking away as I aired the surroundings. my attention snapped back to reality when I heard a soft, feminine voice call out from the open patio“Andr
Alex’s POVI grudgingly opened my eyes, unwilling to wake up because I didn't want to cut the feeling I was feeling right now. The warmth washed over me despite the closed binds of the curtains.For the first time in so long, I had slept very well, with no nightmares or bad dreams of being tied to the table like a lab rat. For the first time, I enjoyed my sleep.I blinked slowly, trying to regain my body's mobility, but discovered that I couldn't. It took a moment for my brain to register what the problem was.Andrian.His arm was draped over my waist, and his legs were tangled with my leg. I held my breath. Stopping myself from moving again so as not to wake him. Strangely, his rhythmic breathing calmed my racing heart, somehow ticking the base of my neck. He was close, too close, that there was barely any space between us. I could feel his semi hard length poking at my entrance. I didn’t move.I didn’t dare.Because if I moved, if I broke the moment, reality might come crashing
Alex’s POV Warmth. For the first time in weeks, I woke up feeling warm. No cold, or sweat clinging to my skin like a second cloth. No racing heart. No echoes of the different nightmares, especially the nightmare of the man in my dream trying to do some things to me. All of it was gone. Just… peace. I blinked rapidly, my vision trying to adjust to the bright light of the sunlight coming through the curtains. The room smelled clean, like fresh linen and something faintly familiar, something safe. The aroma was so pleasing that I had to continuously take deep breaths. It's different from the usual smell of my room… And then it hit me. I wasn’t in my old room. The ceiling above me was different, the walls painted in a deep shade I didn’t recognize. The bed beneath me was smaller but softer than anything I’d ever slept on before. This wasn’t my house, nor my room. It was a different place I don't know about. Does it mean this is still part of my nightmares…, maybe after a few sec
Andrian povTwo weeks ago.I had almost been caught by my father.I had thought that he would not come back, but the bastard came inside right after going outside to answer call. My heart pounded as I heard him coming up the stairs. I could see the outline of his shadow, almost reaching the corner.There, I know I have only one choice. Jump.And that I did. I did not waste a single time. It's not time to think of the consequences of my actions. The thought of something bad happening to Alex drove me to Jump from a one story building like a ninja. Thanks to my acrobatics and fitness classes, I barely landed perfectly with my legs slightly bent before I had to break in a sprint. “Catch him”, I had heard my fathers angry voice from behind, but I was already in my car, speeding past the security before he could understand what was happening. Adrenaline pumped through my body. I hardly register the pain from the glass breaking. I might have had cuts from shards of glass falling o
Alex’s POVDarkness. Cold. Pain.That was all I felt throughout my body. I couldn’t move my body. I was back in that room.The putrid smell of blood and sweat in the air was choking. The rooms suddenly became suffocating, everything becoming blurry in my eyes. I was tied from head to toe, I struggled to move my body, but it was as if my whole body was paralysed, my wrist was tied down to a table, holding me in place.And then he was there. The man. The monster.His stinking breath was hot against my skin, his rough hands bruising my body. No matter how hard I thrashed, how much I begged and screamed, he didn’t stop. Not for once.He continued to flog me with the whip in his hands.“You’re just a weak little whore.”I screamed.I screamed so loud that the entire world should’ve shattered, but no one came. No one ever came.Until…BANG!The sound of gunshots rang in my ears. Suddenly the pain stopped. The man was on the floor, in his own pool of blood. My body was trembling, torn bet
Alex’s POV)I woke up to the cold biting into my skin.By now, I could barely feel my fingers that were already becoming stiff.I propped myself against the wall, staring at the dark, as if waiting for a monster to jump out.I was barely dressed, just my boxers, and my body ached from the blow that had knocked me unconscious before they took me.I have woken up to see myself in this situation. It had taken a moment before every sink into my head.I have been kidnapped.I didn't know how long I had been here. In the dark room, it's not easy to keep track of time.The room was dark. No windows. Not even the faintest hum of sound can be heard.Fear crawled through my veins, tightening my chest.I was scared.No, terrified.My breath came in shallow gasps as I pulled my knees to my chest, trying to steady myself.I was alone.Afraid.Lonely.And in that loneliness, my mind betrayed me, wandering from one sinister thought to the other. I could feel myself trembling with dread.In my desper
