Carla
I looked at him. Waiting for some sort of reply, but I got nothing. Staring at nowhere in particular out the window, he had his hands shoved inside of his pocket and stayed calm.
I kinda knew he wasn’t gonna reply but I don’t know why I was expecting something like this from him. Aeden is a selfish and cocky arse who can do anything and everything for his crazy need.
“It started when I saw you dump Jack.” He said as I turned around to leave the room. His back was facing me.
“You looked gorgeous that day. The fire I saw in your eyes, pulled me towards you. I had been wanting to acquire the mansions by the ocean, which were owned by Cliff. Cliff, on the other hand, wasn’t willing to sell them.” He said in a monotone as he didn’t turn around.
“That’s when you came into the picture. He saw you dump your shitty ex. We all saw you and he knew that you were a woman who valu
Carla“Your chance in exchange for my freedom,” I repeated and his grip on my wrist tightened to a point where a shallow cry escaped my lips.“Aeden you are hurting me,” I winced out and but that didn’t help. He still kept glaring at me like he wanted to bury me for asking for my freedom.“What did you say?” His voice almost mocking but anyone could notice the raw anger behind them.“My freedom.” I gulped out looking at him. He was scary, there was no denying that but I had to stay strong. I can’t crumble like a paper and I most certainly will not let a man control me.“Aeden if you give me my freedom, I’ll give you what you want. Your chance to woo me. And by freedom all mean is to let me around freely in a place I know and you and your shitty men not hounding around me.” I finish. My voice came out shaky at the end.“How should I believe yo
CarlaHe slid one of his hands under my nightdress. As his fingers moved to touch my skin, it ignited all of the fire that I had subdued within me.That was it.Against my better judgment, I moved my tongue against his, moaning. He paused for a fraction of a second trying to pull back but I didn’t let him as I threaded my fingers through his hair pulling him closer and moving my lips against his and trying to return the kiss with the same fervor that he had kissed me a few seconds ago with.This was the first time I was kissing him back. And I didn’t mind that I broke my vow to myself. All I cared about was kissing him. For months I held myself back but not anymore. I finally kissed him back.My eyes rolled back as he began kissing me, swirling his tongue around mine. I tried dominating the kiss but he didn’t let me. Accepting my defeat as he dominated the kiss sliding his palm up to my swell and capturing it his
CarlaI stood frozen as tears that were bumming, dared to fall down.One dropSecondThirdThey just rolled down my cheeks mercilessly. I looked ugly. It was just another painful reminder of his psychotic obsession.“Carla,” he held me by my waist as I stumbled back, covering my mouth. I didn’t dare to look at him. It was chilly. I was naked and wet but I didn’t care. I just wanted to be alone.“Please leave me,” I said without looking up at him.“Carla,” he called out, grabbed my chin, and forcefully yanked my face up to look at him.“I want to be alone,” I whispered in a small voice. To my unknowing, he had already plastered my body against his and soothed me as I didn’t feel so cold.“Look at me,” he said sternly when I looked around everywhere but him. His voice left no room for argumentation.“You are b
She took the tiny pill and swallowed it down with the help of water. Aeden could be careless but she couldn’t have. She had been taking birth control pills when she learned she actually had sex with him when she was drunk.Her visions of that night were blurry but she knew what they did. The soreness between her legs was the evidence of it. She wanted to deny it. Oh god! How she wished it was all a part of a bad dream but only it wasn’t.She had stumbled her way to the bathroom, with a throbbing pain between her legs and her head. She only hoped it was her terrible nightmare and not something real. She still couldn’t fathom the thought of her being married to a criminal and she definitely didn’t want to be taken advantage of or raped by him.She pulled the robe over her body before staring in front, of the mirror. And just when she stared at her reflection, tears broke free. Her body was covered in bruises, handprints, and bluish-purple h
She pulled out the light blue sundress with puff sleeves and a deep square neckline. It had tiny flowers embedded all over it. All in all, the dress was super pretty.She didn’t have much of a choice. She knew he would threaten his way so she didn’t want to argue with him.Sliding the dress on, she brushed her hair down and left it by her sides. She applied little makeup and baby pink lipstick. She wasn’t sure where he was taking her, so she decided to keep her outfit, generalised.She took a small purse and filled it with some napkins, lipstick and antidepressants, which Eric had got her on her request. Aeden had confiscated her mobile phone a long time ago, so she didn’t have it. Somewhere or the other, she learnt how to live without technology. The same gadgets she was so addicted to and her life depended on.She slipped into nude two-inch block heels. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. She looked dead. From inside
Carla’s eyelids fluttered open when a gust of cold breeze hit her body, making her shiver slightly. She was welcomed by Aeden’s light subtle that was scattered across his face as he carried her into the house, with his eyes ahead.He held her firmly enough to make an unknown warmth seep through her body. One side of her face was pressed against the soft Lenin material of his shirt. His heartbeat was heard vividly and came out calm and loud.“Leave me,” she whispered and didn’t avert her gaze from him. He paused and he looked down at her a little surprised.“You are awake,” he said. Just a statement, no question.“I don’t think so,” he mildly gritted his teeth and increased his hold on her warm body.She sighed in defeat as she couldn’t keep her eyes open. Letting it go, she closed her eyes partially as Aeden carried her up to their or rather his room.She didn’t want to
“These property papers are fake.” She repeated and Aeden looked at her confused as he pulled the papers from her hand and looked at them with his brows snapped together in a thin line.“What are you saying,” he pursed his lips and glared at her.“Lemme showyou,” she said as she snatched the papers from his hands and took some other papers which were genuine and laid them side by side on the floor.“Feel the paper. There is a difference. This one on the right, which are the fakes, is much smoother.” She said and nudged him to feel the difference.“Extremely difficult but original papers can never be this smooth.” She said and he looked at her weirdly.“Also,” she took a pen which was down on the floor, “See this, the fonts. This ‘t’ here, it’s different and if you notice carefully, you will find the ‘n’ and ‘p’ also different
Carla woke up to the sun rays beaming on her face and the birds chirping wildly. Peering her eyes open, she was met with the same white ceiling of their room. She groaned and looked down but was met with disappointment.Aeden wasn’t there. She was alone.She looked at the wall clock to see it was half-past nine. Sitting up with a jerk, panic settled in her chest. She waited for Aeden one whole day but he showed up the next day morning at five. Now he wasn’t here, again. She didn’t want to think he was going to do something disastrous but that thought still pricked her.She pushed the duvet off her body, she ran out of the room in search of him. As soon as she reached the end of the stairwell, a strong aroma of crispy bacon hit her nostrils. She stilled for a moment and snapped her head towards the obvious place, the kitchen.She looked out the large French windows to barely notice any guards out and furrowed her brows in confusion. One t
