Be Prisoner

Aria wanted to break free from the shackles of the cocoon. All this time, Aria had lived the way her father had set her. Even for eating, her father chose which spoon she should use. Teenage Aria might be able to survive with the restraint of her father.

Slowly, Aria became a mature girl who no longer wanted to be held back. She had never really felt free like an ordinary girl. She took every lesson to make her behave like a noblewoman.

She was somewhat relieved once her father permitted her to study in Manhattan, even though the conditions were costly like she must marry the man her father chose. When she couldn't taste the freedom of a middle and high school girl, was it still not enough to make her a prisoner?

Which girl goes to campus, then the next day has to get married?

Aria couldn't understand her father's thoughts. "Yeah, I'm not in my apartment anymore, Megan! He brought me here, and I don't know why I feel attached to him."

"Dude? Why don't you just run away from there? Have you completely lost your mind?" Megan protested. She knew how crazy her best friend had been lately.

"I know!"

"What? You know that?"

Aria heard the sound of a car; she jogged to her bedroom window and glanced outside. She still wasn't used to this room, but it wouldn't be wrong to live in a luxurious room that was quite spacious from the rooms in her apartment.

"I'll call you back later, now I have to meet this sexy man!"

"You are crazy! Dude, just…"

Aria cut the call before her best friend went crazy again with all the lectures aimed at her. Aria stared at her reflection in the mirror; her sleep pajamas were satin and showed her curves.

She teased Lucas in her way. The conversation between them was cold but also exciting at the same time. Aria thought she just needed to be a more aggressive woman so that Lucas would feel uncomfortable with her existence and get rid of her from this house.

Aria knew Lucas was related to her father, so running away from this house was not the best way. She's experienced at this. Getting out of her father's supervision seemed to have become a routine for her.

"You said continue this chat in bed? Young lady, you really have no idea what you're doing right now!" Lucas showed his smirk.

Aria shrugged her shoulders and remained calm "then why don't you just tell me?"

"You'd better find out for yourself, right ?"

"It would be easier for me to do that in bed! Doesn't a man like you talk a lot with his woman in bed?" Aria stroked Lucas' chest with her index finger.

She moved from the upper chest to the stomach, and suddenly Lucas squeezed the back of his hand. "I'm not a patient man, young lady! My warning is not a joke!"

Aria's heart fluttered, she felt warmth from Lucas' touch, but the man's eyes stared at her like a wild animal. Aria felt excited and scared at the same time. She shook off Lucas's hand and walked backward.

She sighed, then jogged back to her room. She didn't even turn her head to look at Lucas. She just felt something dangerous she should avoid now. Even though tomorrow morning, and who knows for a while, she will still face Lucas in this house.

Inside his room, Lucas was still leaning on his couch. He could not sleep, even though the night was getting late. Shiity!

He couldn't lie to himself. The way Aria teased him was completely different. The girl was so calm; she didn't hesitate to express her open expression.

Lucas took another sip of the branded wine he had finished half a bottle of. He usually wouldn't get drunk immediately; his body felt warm. How long has he not had sex?

"I think it's been over six months since I didn't have sex, argh it feels like everything is piling up inside of me," Lucas muttered.

He never tried to find a foreign woman to sleep with one night. Lucas' way of making love is a bit different. He gave the contract for the sake of his sexual health. The activity started getting boring half a year ago, so he stopped.

Lucas turned to the bathroom; he flushed his body with cold water. He wished whatever he was thinking about Aria right now would disappear like the sun setting on the seashore.

The next day, Lucas' activities were as usual. If anything was different, Aria suddenly came to the dinner table. She wore a cropped black tank top, revealing her pierced belly button.

She was wearing denim jeans with a rip at the knee. Lucas frowned, confused; he couldn't hold his mouth to comment on the girl's appearance.

"You're going to college dressed like that?"

Aria rolled her eyes lazily; she spread bread with pineapple jam. "And why do you ask?"

"Didn't you see it snowed last night?"

"So?"

"Your clothes are too revealing young lady! You could catch a fever!"

"Doesn't look like I care! Do you now also want to meddle in my dress matters? Isn't it enough to force me to move into this house?"

Lucas growled, his jaw tightening. He was confused. This girl sometimes seems so crazy about herself that she even offers her virginity, but see now?

This girl can be so rebellious as if she has her way of "Do whatever you like!"

"This is my last exam before vacation, I'm going to have fun with my friends, and it looks like I'll also be home late, really late! That's not a problem for you is it ?"

"This is not your house! Don't be careless!"

"Then let me return to my apartment, there is better then!"

Lucas narrowed his eyes; he showed how good he was at holding back his anger in front of the girl. His gaze didn't make Aria falter. The girl bent her body, then looked at Lucas with such a little distance.

"Listen, Sir, I'm still sane enough to realize you're a stranger, dragged me into this house just because it was an order from my father, but you didn't return me to my father. I don't like being restrained, if you intend to watch over me like this, then do it! Then I have a thousand ways to escape from you, if you can't cooperate with me."

Aria brushed Lucas' lips with her thumb; she smiled contentedly and walked away.

Lucas sighed. "Damn, I can't hold myself back anymore! Once again you tease me like this girl, you will regret this!" Lucas muttered.
