Ashley's Pov. Everything looked impossible and the bad thing about it was that Nat wasn't listening to me. All he did was look and act as though I want talking to himWe got into the room and he walked out, sat down by the said of the bed and just watched as I cried. It was obvious that he was happy seeing me the way I was. He felt even more excited when I started crying and couldn't help myself. What ever it is you know would give you peace I think you should consider doing it now. Sobbing quietly in my room, I heard a soft knock on the door, I knew who the person was because the knock sounded familiar. "Just go, I don't want to talk to anybody. My ki is gradually slipping out from my hands and all of this is because I chose to protect my family from the monster called Nat. Now my life is going to be used to replace that of my family." I spoke out crying bitterly. Tears rolled down my eyes shocking the bedspread I was lying on. "Remember, when you feel sad, do one thing, that
(Ashley's POV)"No!!" I jerked up, muttering words to myself. Having a nightmare wasn't something I anticipated but what else was new. I was trapped in a house I didn't want to be in and with a husband I didn't want to be with.I looked at the window and realized that the sun was coming up, giving up different hues to the sky, making it more breathtaking."If it were a different occasion, I'd enjoy the sunrise with peace but not anymore. Esther isn't here anymore and I'm all alone... with this monster," I kept saying to myself.My eyes started stinging with tears once again as my mind thought of everything going wrong in my life so far. I had no one now. Not a single person knew about my situation except Esther but she was no longer around.I felt like I was a piece of glass being broken over and over again and every part of me would shatter into a million pieces, each of those pieces having shards of brokenness stabbing through my skin, causing pain. There was nothing left in me or a
(Ashley's POV)I looked down and who I saw startled my heart. It was Nat. my heart raced against my chest and I could hear my heartbeat."I had an inkling feeling that you'd try to run again and I guess my suspicions weren't unfounded," Nat said, his eyes throwing daggers at me.I shook my head, looking up at the sky in hopes of avoiding eye contact with Nat. "I am sorry, sir."Nat scoffed and rolled his eyes. I gulped nervously and waited for him to start yelling at me again. "That's it? That's all you have to say?""I just don't like living like this," I said, in a whisper."Then how do you want to live, Ashley?!" he yelled, his voice filled with rage, causing me to lose my grip. I helped as I fell to the ground.When I landed, Nat held my arm, keeping me from falling further into the bush."I don't know how! I'm terrified, Nat!" I cried out, feeling myself shaking slightly. This man has become so much more cruel. It scares me to know he is capable of doing whatever he pleases."I'm
I laughed out in a sarcastic manner as I watched her walk towards me with a force look.tears were pouring down from her eyes but that didn't have the fact that she was extremely beautiful. I stayed with my eyes fixed on her admiring all her body bill with her face that had already turned red.She walked right in front of me and stood, didn't say anything not make any move. I at the other hand was lost admiring and her Sh suddenly raised her hands, and looked at me as though waiting for my approval.I wasn't concerned with whatever she had in her mind, all I thought about and wanted to to was to have her right under my arms, after few minutes of deliberation from her, she wrapped her hands around my body and gave me a tight hug. Pressing her chest firmly against mine.I enjoyed the feel of that but doesn't bother to hug back because I knew that she was aiming at me. Her plan wasn't to hug me, but rather transfer all their t in her body to my cloth too.The moment she was satisfied wi
"It's funny how you go the extra mile to be stubborn. And I wonder if you don't ever get tired of being punished." He spoke in an angry tone while he held the tip of my jaw. I felt terrified at the weight of his look, I didn't expect that I was going to be caught, especially with how swift and well-calculated my plans went. I didn't know what to think, as all the thoughts that flooded my mind added to my fear. The more he spoke and lashed words at me the more scared and hopeless I felt. He had taken me to his uncle's house just to inform me that running away wouldn't be a nice idea. But still, all their threats didn't stop me from doing what I wanted to do."What Next" I yelled to myself. I felt even more useless and done for than I have ever felt in my entire life. Only if I was a little bit smart and fast, he wouldn't have even figured out that I wasn't there with him Talk more about going after me. I tried to loosen my hands from where it was tired too, but all of that was to
" Master! What should be done to her?" The first man standing directly at my front asked with his gaze fixed on mine. He finally spoke breaking the silence that had lasted for a very long time. I could tell that Nat was finding it difficult to give me whatever punishment he wants to give. but then I wasn't sure. Nat stood without uttering any word to him. "Whatever he was planning better not be something that would kill me." I I murmured the words inside my mouth. Nat soon left the room without even looking g me for a second. The other men followed immediately. "Haaaaa" I gasped out realizing the breath that I had held for the longest time. My heart was seriously beating and full of uncertainty. I didn't know him to predict what he would be thinking at the moment. "Please lord! Can you just give me a final chance? I would be more brave this time. I know you don't want me here, and all this I am going through isn't what you want for me. So, please..... " I prayed as tears droppe

"The boss didn't say of any punishment, I think he is been indecisive at the moment. let's give him some time" the second spoke staring daggers at me. "You deserve to spend one week in the dungeon, and after that, get treated with the unforgettable treatment the boss gives to everyone who does against his rules" he laughed out loud the moment he got done with the statement. "Who is she self, and what is she doing in the boss house," The first man who saw me the pet day in the garden asked his partner in a low tone."Okay this conversation would be about me" I whispered under my breath. they soon stopped talking about what they were discussing before and started sliding everything about me and how I got to the house."I heard she was the cause of Esther leaving the house" the second man spoke in a measuring and very confident tone."The first time I saw her, they were together." the first man spoke. "Her father owed the boss a very huge amount of money and couldn't pay back.so she
