Carla
I let him pull me because, at this point, I had given up.
“Are you alright?” I heard him ask as he paused by the large steel door.
“Does it matter?” I countered back looking up at him and he was slightly taken aback and his hold on my wrist loosened.
“I’m so sorry,” he whispered looking at me as his eyes softened.
“Doesn’t matter. Your sorry isn’t going to stop me from hating him,” I said emotionlessly looking at the door.
“Carla… he told-” I didn’t let him continue as something inside me snapped.
“Doesn’t matter Eric. What’s done is done,” I said firmly. He just nodded his head and sighed looking down.
“Forget that, what does he want?” I asked him, continuing to look at the door.
He just sighed and turned around and unlocked the large door open. Eric had bought m
Carla“Who are you?” I asked in completedisbelief. It was hard for me to process but I had to I wanted to save my fucking life. I had no idea what he was going to do next. I’d put all of my money on him brutally murdering me like he is killing this guy. Slow and painful. Regretting each and every choice of your life.A crude laugh echoed through the room. I noticed the way his head hung back as he laughed like this was the best joke’s ever heard. So loud that everyone in the basement shifts uncomfortably. My mouth slightly parted in disbelief as I looked at him. Does he think it’s a joke to torture and killpeople?“How can you be so naive?” He turned around still chuckling, making me frown.“You haven’t figured it out yet, haven’t you?”“Figured out what? That you run something illegal? A long time ago hubby,” I sneered, mocking him.&l
CarlaThe lights shimmered as it began blacking out. Despite the distance, this island had the most beautiful view and buildings.Aeden or should I say, Vincenzo, as he liked to be called, partially dragged me here to one of his private islands. I didn’t protest. I had given up a long time ago. He could have his way with where I lived now.I still hadn’t looked down at my body but the wound had definitely healed. It was now probably an ugly scar. I didn’t want to look at it. I didn’t want to remember that day or what happened that night.Placing the rim of the bottle on my lips, I guzzled down the strong liquid and winced. It has been some time I actually had any sort of alcoholic drink. But right now, nothing seemed better than this. I probably have drunk my ass and won’t be able to stand, yet I chose to sit on the edge of the terrace of this large mansion. I have never grown with a house that actually had a
It all happened too quickly as the next thing she knew was, her tiny frame pinned to the wall behind them with her hands above her head and Aeden kissing her till her breath knocked out of her lungs.His body pressed against hers as he trailed one of his hands downward whilst still kissing. Down her flat belly, belly button and finally slipping into her pants followed by her panties.A slight moan escaped her parted lips as his long and rough fingers fondled with her soft and silky folds. Trailing his lips down to her jaw, he bit on them harshly and sucked later, almost following a pattern.Carla gasped inaudibly as he moved his fingers up and down the length of her slick folds. Looking right at her, he lowered his lips down to her collar bone, leaving his mark everywhere over her body. Claiming his territory. Claiming what belonged to him.Aeden’s eyes bore into Carla’s and she noticed how his eyes glistened in lust. She was a little ta
CarlaLooking out, the day was bright and beautiful. The sun shone brightening up all of the trees and grass outside that was visible from up here.My ears perked up when I heard soft giggles erupt out. Knotting my brows, I dropped my legs down and slipped my feet into my slippers. I stood up and walked out of the balcony.The giggles only increased as I walked down the large and grand stairs. I moved to the source of the sound but halted once I reached the backyard. I noticed Paolina trying to get out of Eric’s hold while he looked down at her sweetly as both of them stood behind the tree. I probably know it is none of my business and I didn’t bother too much about it. They are adults and I guess they’ll know better.I turned my attention to the source of the sound that I came all the way down for.I noticed a child running around carelessly and I frowned more if that was possible.What was a child doing h
Carla“So…” he breathed out by my ear, and a shiver ran down my spine hearing his raspy voice. I was still firmly trapped in between his body and the table.“How was your relationship with your ex?” He asked. I turned my head to the side and looked at him with wide eyes.It’s not that I’m surprised that he knows about my ex yet I was a little surprised. He is a stalker after all but how is that important right now? Where is he going with this?“W-why?” I blinked rapidly as my neck hurt because I had my head turned into an uncomfortable position.“How was it, Carla?” He glared at me and pulled my reddened earlobe between his teeth. And I knew he just wanted answers and not questions.“Good,” I said simply, looking at him.“How was the sex?” He gritted as he squeezed my waist painfully hard, earring a whimper from me.I sti
CarlaI kept staring at the very white wall in front of me. Not even a single stop of dirt. I wonder how they manage to keep things here so clean.“Carla!” I heard the yell and blinked rapidly, shifting my attention to my right to see Olivia standing by the bed.“I’ve been calling you for a few seconds now.” Her voice laced in anger. I smile at her faintly, giving all of my attention to her. I was so lost, that I hadn’t realized when she came into the room.“I’m sorry Olivia. How can I help you?” I asked her and she glared at me before sighing and shoving a hairbrush my way with one of her hands and she securely held Charlie with the other.“I want you to do French braids. I asked Paolina but she said she didn’t know. Will you please?” She requested and I smiled at her.“Sure. I can do that,” I said and took the hairbrush from her and she hop
CarlaI looked at the ocean in front of me, blank.A date.He took me out on a date.After all the things he did to me, I wasn’t expecting him to take me out on a date. He just didn’t seem like someone who romanticized over women or relationships in general. I thought he only knew how to romanticize over blood, torture, and drugs.His arms wrapped around my waist and protectively held me in place. I arched my neck to the side when he nibbled on my earlobe.“Come,” he whispered, softly as he pulled away but still kept one of his hands on the small of my back as he guided me up to a table, set up in the center of the yacht on the top. The design around me was elegant. Sophisticated.As we walked closer, he removed his hand and walked ahead and pulled the chair out for me, and gestured me to sit. Still confused as to why he was being so nice, I sat down hesitatingly, not before throwing a glance h
CarlaI sat up instantly, gasping for oxygen. I looked around me while wiping down the imaginary beads of sweat formed on my forehead. I looked around panting, only to realize I was still on the yacht.I closed my eyes in relief. I had a nightmare. I rub my face with my palm and look at the clock. It was seven in the morning.Pushing the comforter off my body, I place my foot on the fluffy red carpet. I looked around and walk into the bathroom to see Aeden nowhere. Without bothering about him, I turn the faucet of the sink and place my palms under the ruining water and gather it in my palm and splash it on my face.I take the towel from the rack and wipe my face down with it before heading out to look for Aeden. I know for a fact that I can only trust him because if he disappears, I won’t be able to do anything. Considering how much he wants me; I am sure he won’t let anything happen to me.I walk out to see him standin
Carla“So you don’t feel guilty?” The woman in front of me asked. Her hair was neatly tied up in a bun while she sat before me, with a small notebook and a pen in her hand.“Are you sure you are not saying this because you totally deny it?”I shook my head slightly and looked down at my lap.“You really don’t feel guilty about killing someone?” She asked me again and I forced my head up and looked into her eyes.“No.”After killing Cliff, I was little, well, too much in denial and Aeden forced me to take therapy with this lady before me. And also for my not so often nightmares, yet they still could shake me up and I couldn’t get anything done the next day. Honestly, I don’t like her. She is too much of a bitch for my liking. Since the time I have been attending the sessions, which were only two, she didn’t hesitate to show me her displeasure of me
AedenI tried pulling my hands out one last time but sighed in defeat when my attempt was hindered unsuccessful.The light that reached me through the blindfold, indicated that it was morning. My wrists were, well pretty much numb.I had called out for her but, I was just wasting my energy when I realized that the rooms were soundproofed.She got me good. Have to give her credits. I had never expected that she’d do something like this… it's just not her. Or maybe I just don’t know her so well. Actually, she was always afraid around me and was never open.I guess I am the one to be blamed for that. I regret it but right now, I need her to come up here and untie me. Staying in one fucking position the entire night is not a joke.A small sigh leaves my lips and I slump my wrists and shoulders. But the opening of the door has my ears perked up.A strong womanly fragrance hits my nostrils and I instantly
AedenSighing, I picked up my phone and my wallet before heading out the door. It was way past ten and it was highly uncommon for me to stay in my late mother’s office for so long.I didn’t usually visit this place because it ran smoothly unless someone decided to fuck it all up. An employee thought it was cool to randomly blurt out the ideas of the upcoming project to one of the rival company employees and I had to come down to fix his shit.I hadn’t estimated that it was going to be of so much trouble when I left home this morning but turns out, it was big. When it was past ten was beyond me.I wanted to go home and spend some time with Carla, but because of this one person, I had to be in and out of meeting all day long.I rushed out of the building to see my chauffeur by my car. He opens the door as I walked near it and he bowed down to show respect. I nodded, acknowledging his bow. It wasn’t long before
“We need to talk,” Carla burst her way into his study, without bothering about what he was doing.She stooped in her tracks, panting as she noticed two men who sat before him in their business suits, whose eyes were now focused on her. Her chest heaving as she clenched her fists by her sides and narrowed her eyes on Aeden, who was quite as startled as the men before him were.“Excuse me. Can we continue this sometime later?” He asked the two men, drawing their attention back to him from his wife.“Yes.”“Sure.”They replied simultaneously and walked out. Aeden pushed the chair back and stood up as the menexited and walked to the door and closed the door behind him.“What is it?” He asked softly as he made his way toward her and held her cheek from one side.“I-I can’t do this. No.” She
CarlaWas I doing the right thing?Too much thinking will make me regret my decisions.I take the pill bring it closer to my lips and hold the glass of water with my shaking hands. I didn’t want my child to have to grow when it can never be safe.I don’t think Aeden knows about this so it's better if he never finds out. It will be for the best. I don’t even know how he will react if he finds out. I just don’t want to hear the negative ones, if he didn’t like the idea of having children.Gulping, I place the pill at the seam of my lips. My heart was thudding rapidly against my chest. Closing my eyes I take a deep breath in.No. Don’t you will become a murderer!My consciousness mocked me and that itself was enough to push the chair back and spring up and throw the pill away.“Carla! What the hell!” I heard Aeden from behind and I turned to him he pulled th
“Why?”She fell backward, and let her eyes droop. Before she could land a harsh hit to the ground, strong arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to a strong chest.She was hoisted up and carried out in bridal style. But as soon as the blood from her thigh dripped oh his arm he paused to look. When he noticed the dripping red liquid, anger burned through.With a low growl, he pressed her tightly and protectively against his body and marched out to his car, not caring about the way men moved in and out of the building.He carefully placed her on the passenger seat and moved to the other side. He noticed, Pearl, standing by the paramedics. She passed him a small smile and he returned it with a nod, pursing his lips.He sat in and stole one last glance at the woman resting on the passenger seat before driving off.The constant and loud tapping of foot was heard through the quiet hallway. Occasional huffing
“It wasn’t his mistake,” Carla breathed out.“Really?” Cliff scoffed.“Yes. Nobody has to pay for someone else’s deeds,” She said trying to inhale but the copper taste in her mouth and the pungent smell of blood didn’t allow her to.“You remember the time, you crashed into another car?” He quirked his brow up looking at her.“That was me. That was when it all began. That was my signal to being.”“It started with me finding my then long-lost and now dead brother, Steve. I didn’t have to do much. He was already a fool. A fool who was madly in love with you after one night. Wonder what magic you possess that, this idiot fell for you after one night in bed with you.”“I got what I needed from him. He told me all after I faked that I missed him all my life. I did miss my sibling, but not as much as I exaggerated. Then he told me everything I need
Caught up in work, she hadn’t realized when hours had passed and it now was seven in the evening.Her phone pinged up with a new notification but she ignored it like she had been doing for hours now. But when the constant sound of several notifications kept annoying her, she decide to put her phone on silent mode.As she took ahold of her phone, she noticed several messages from an unknown number. Unlocking the phone she read the messages, which were images, and a sudden dread kept in, looking at all the images that had been sent to her.They were several images of her. Taken the same way, in the starting she received a few stalking images of herself. Like the one in the hospital and Aeden’s penthouse. She had not given it much thought as she didn’t get any more pics after that and brushed it off thinking it was Aeden. Gulping, she swiped across her phone, looking at all the images of her.As she was scrolling through her the photos, her
Approximately one and a half months later.CarlaSinking down in my comfortable chair, I looked up from my laptop screen and focused my gaze outside the window admiring the beautiful view of the skyscrapers.But the moment was short-lived and I shrugged my shoulders and looked down on the keys of my computer.I was still mad at Aeden for abandoning me with some random strangers. I hadn’t heard or seen from either of the siblings or anyone them as a matter of fact since that day.Stupid stupid move!Who does that?He could have fucking spoken to me but he didn’t. I didn’t like it one bit. He didn’t even ask me if I wanted to go or stay. If he’d just asked me, I would have probably stayed back.I glanced at my wristwatch and packed up my stuff, shutting my computer off and putting it in my bag. I had resumed my work shortly after I found myself lying in the bed, alone and ab
