Author’s POVHe looked at her as she came out of the shower. Her hair was wrapped in a towel and she was wearing his bathrobe. The knot on the robe made him smile. She feels its gonna save her. He took a drag from his cigar and gulped his whiskey. She was looking breathtaking. He didn’t know why he wanted her, but he knew that it was his desire and he never killed his desire.Elena didn’t look at him but the smell of the cigar alerted her that he was smoking. So many people die of cancer every day. Why not this monster? She instead turned her attention to her hair. She went to the dressing table and looked at herself. Her eyes were tired. She was an ordinary woman who was not a striking beauty, yet this man had chosen her to fulfill his carnal desire. Why? Honestly, he ticked every box on the list of being desirable, apart from owning a little brain, but rest of him quite perfect, then why her, when he could pick any girl at the bar or wherever he went? She dried her hair with the tow
Author's POV Elena removed the shirt as soon as she got inside the bathroom. It had his scent which was intoxicating. But she was not ready to look at herself. Her body had marks. Her shoulder had swelled and a red mark was clear with his teeth’s indentation. Same goes for her breast where he had bitten her. Her lips were swollen, she had a hickey, and even her waist had a mark where he had grabbed her. She looked battered which she was. She sat down on the toilet and thought about the night. She had a normal day. If only John had not gone out, she could be sleeping in her home, in her room, beside her snoring husband now. Her husband, who betted her on a poker table. Elena’s tears fell as she thought about John. He didn’t even look up as he lost her, his wife. He only drank his drink and passed out. God knows what he must be doing now. Would he realize his mistake once he wakes up? But what would change? This man was not going to leave her. And what would happen even if John realize
Author’s POV Just then, the doorbell rang and Aslan had to get the door. He deposited her carefully on the sofa and vanished in the bathroom. Elena winced as she tried to move. She was sore and battered. He came out with a towel around his waist and Elena had to admit that he looked like a bad prince or maybe King who ruled everything around him. So, does it make her his slave? She shook her head but then realized that she was naked. What if the room service gets in? Definitely, the king won’t bring the food himself. She heard voices and quickly hid behind the sofa. If she would run towards the bedroom, they will see her naked ass running. Aslan pushed the cart inside and found the room empty. Then he heard her faint breathing. He got on the sofa and looked down. There she was, in a bundle. He smiled and wondered what was she doing there? But what would be the fun in asking. “Booo.” He yelled loudly and she jumped up, her hands on her heart. It made him laugh. Elena’s heart almost
John’s POVHe woke up and groggily rubbed his eyes. His eyes went to the clock but everything was blurry. He cursed and stood up. He went closer and saw that it was 10 o’clock. He had slept in late, but who cares? Elena must have gone to work already and there was no one to scold him.He had seen a horrible dream last night.He had bet and lost Elena on a poker table. But he laughed now. He would never do that. Besides, he had left poker. Not entirely but he was trying to.He came to kitchen and saw the dirty dishes from yesterday. He looked at the kitchen counter. There was no breakfast. He drank a glass of water and then called Elena. His head was about to explode. Her phone was switched off. His memory was coming back now. Dan had called. They had gone to Kings Casino. Why? He doesn’t know. He remember taking the envelope of money, Elena had given him. Did he pay the power bill?He turned on the light but it didn’t lit up. So, power was cut off. Now everything fell in place. Him lo
Aslan’s POV He saw as she ate small morsels of her pancake. He loved how a drop of maple syrup slid down the corner of her mouth and he involuntarily bent to lick it up. She was surprised, but he looked deeper in her eyes and kissed her briefly before pulling away. She was back to her far away land once again. There was something on her mind and it was eating him up. He had no experience with such woman, those who think they are higher above others. She is not. She is just like others who had accepted him and opened her legs. It’s true that he had not given her much choice. But still, she is no different, no matter what she thinks. The bad news was that it was morning and she was still here and he was thinking ways to claim her. Why he was not bored? Until now, he had never had this urge to take a woman again once the sun rose. He always considered it a new day and looked for another woman who will warm his bed that night. It was never difficult. All he had to do was crook his finge
Elena’s POV It had taken her great courage to decide to kill him. When he was gone, she contemplated for a long time and thought about whether what she was doing was right or wrong. What would happen to her if she kills him? She will spend the rest of her life in jail. The thought of a prison scared her. But then she thought about what will happen if she stays with him. He will rob her virtue every single day until he gets bored and then he will throw her out like outdated used handbag. He would insult her more by paying her. It lit the fire in her and she resolved to find a way to end this misery. There was no way he was sane enough to listen to her and consider her request of letting her go. Her way out was his death. Then only she will be truly free. She opened up a bottle of wine and drank. God knew she needed courage to do the deed. When she knew she will puke of fear, she drained half of it in the sink. Her heart had cried knowing the price of the bottle. But she did it and th
Aslan's POVHe was looking at a proposal when she appeared in the doorway. He could sense her presence.“What is it, sunshine?” He spoke without looking up.“I have laid the dinner.”“Give me two minutes.”When he appeared in the living room, the table was laid like a proper dinner table. She was double checking his settings and he was pleased. What if she lays the dinner for him for the rest of his life?He shook his head. It was a concern already that he wanted her more than before and every time felt like first time with her. He was not getting tired. It was a concern for him. Then the thought of him spending all his life with her was more terrifying. She was weaving some magic. Earlier when she had said he looked like a man in love, it had burned him. Love was not for him. He will never fall for anyone. Not even Elena.He assessed her closely as she ate her taco absent- mindedly.“You should eat more.” It made her look at him.“I will grow fat.”“You are anorexic.”“Don’t curse me.
Aslan's POVHe asked her on their way back what she would like to eat and her answer surprised him. “I want Indian food.”“You like it?” He asked with a cocked eyebrow.“Yup. Don’t you?” He had never imagined her to be a fan of Indian food.“I have tasted it occasionally but I am not a big fan.” He replied truthfully.“Oh you have not eaten their kebabs or rice and curry. It’s delicious.” For the first time, she was talking without looking scared.He wanted to tell her that she was delicious.Once they reached the hotel, she ordered it from the hotel’s kitchen while he opened his laptop and sat in the small office.So, he had to return to work, after all. His mind was asking him questions again. Why did he take her to shopping? Was it an involuntary agreement that he intend to keep her longer? He rubbed his hands on his face. He was changing and he didn’t like it.He was working and answering mails when he received an unexpected call. It was Matthew. He smiled looking at his best frie
Aslan’s POVAslan couldn’t stop beaming as he stood there at the altar. He looked at his mother, she was so happy. Alicia was showing all of her teeth, smiling so much, Joanna’s kids were looking so beautiful dressed for their uncle’s marriage. Aslan adjusted his bow for the hundredth time. He knew he will be no match to Elena’s beauty, but he wanted to look good for her.Slowly the music started and one by one the bridesmaids started pouring in. Bella came next as she was the maid of honor. Then the flower girl came followed by the ring bearer. He was waiting for Elena, the music went on but she didn’t come. His heart was beating fast now. God, where is she? Is she alright? What’s going on?Breathing was getting difficult. Ian came running inside and informed that Elena had not arrived. His men started figuring out what was going on. Her destined driver was not picking the phone. Aslan was growing restless. The murmur of the crowd turned into chattering. He was about to leave the al
Aslan’s POVThe first thing he did when he woke up was to order flowers for his wife. He did his morning routine, worked out, shaved, got a massage, and then his friends arrived in his room. Elena had stayed at Elle’s place last night. He was already missing her. A night without her was a punishment.His friends got busy in helping him getting ready. The photographer recorded everything. Finally they made their way towards the cars. He was not just walking out of his house, but he was walking out of his old life to a new one, one he had never believed would be looking so appealing. He was walking towards the love of his life. In the arms of a goddess.He had never known that he will ever fall in love, let alone getting married. He shook his head. An age old memory visited him and he kept her face aside. He was Elena’s and he will always belong to her, and she will belong to him. It was damn sure.Elena’s POVShe was woken up by the giggling of girls. When she woke up rubbing her eyes, t
Author’s POVIt was the night before their wedding day. His bachelorette party was far from over. It was a strictly no- stripper party. Why? Because he had promised Elena. Elle had threatened to kill Matthew if she even suspected that a stripper was coming. The warning was more for Ian than Matthew. So, basically they were just watching some French movie and sipping on their drinks.Tomorrow, he will get married. Aslan thought. He was excited like a kid in a toy store. He couldn’t believe that he was an altogether different man a few months back and now he was smitten.Their journey reflected on his mind and he cursed himself. He had put her through hell. The night when he had branded her, made him hang his head in shame. But then he got an idea. He stood up and was going to the door, when Matthew asked, “Hey man, it’s your party.”“I have something important to do.” Aslan replied absentmindedly.“What can be more important than enjoying your last day as a bachelor?” Ian queried.“Some
Author’s POVAs soon as he got home, he saw her smiling face. God, if this is what married life will feel like, he couldn’t wait to get married to this beautiful woman. She came to him with open arms and he lifted her up.He nuzzled his face into her neck and placed a kiss, making her moan. Wrapping her legs around his waist, he went to the couch.She was looking for any sign of betrayal but there was none as he looked at her face in admiration.“I had no idea that such beauty could exist.” He said it out aloud.“Are you drunk?” She giggled and he wanted to drink that sound.“Maybe.” He hid his face in her bosom and took a deep breath.“How was your day?” She asked.“Busy, as always.”“I knew it. That’s why I prepared a bath for you.”“For us.”“Ok, Us. Let’s go.” She took his hand and led him to the stairs. He followed her blindly. If she would take him to hell like this, he will gladly follow her.The bathroom was filled with roses and scented candles. “Let me help you.”She took off
Elena’s POVElena was trying to persuade Aslan to do otherwise but he wasn’t listening.“I don’t want a million dollar dress.” She protested for the nth time“But I want you to have the best.”“Aslan, that designer will cost me my life as the fees for entering his boutique.”“He is my friend.”“I am not going there.”“I won’t let you buy a dress from any other place.”“Then I will get married in a burlap sack.” She crossed her arms and slumped down on the sofa.“Urggghhhhh.” He did the same beside her.“Fine, I give in.”She smiled up at him. “But I have a condition.” He added.“No.” She knew it will be something she won’t be able to put up to.“Yes. I came halfway and now it’s your turn. I will come with you to choose your dress.”“No, it’s bad luck.”“Baby, I write my own luck.”“There is a reason such an old tradition is followed. You can’t see the dress before the wedding day.”“I just want to check how it will go with my tux.”“No.”“Yes. And I am coming. And if you say
John’s POVHe came home and threw the stuff on the kitchen counter. “Mira?”No sound. He tried again. Her jacket was gone, her shoes were gone, and there was no trace of her.He had only left her half an hour ago. She wanted to cook some Indian food for him and needed a few things.He ran upstairs, into his bedroom. That’s when the shock hit him. His safe was open and empty. The new watch he had bought was gone. A gold chain which was a symbol of his good old times, was gone.“Holy fucking shit. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Mira……” He screamed her name. He tried her phone. Switched off. He ran outside and took a cab. Her home was locked. She had not been there. He decided to go to police, but the thought hit him. What would he say when they will ask him the source of money? That he sold his wife? He was losing it. He had lost everything. That money was all he had. He had nothing else to survive on.Should he go to the police? Will they ask him the source of money or they will let it go? No he
Author’s POVHe was in his study, on his third stiff drink and still so much conscious. He had no idea why Elena wanted to meet his family. Could she not just live peacefully with him? Why does she want the entire package?“Because she is a good woman who understands the importance of family unlike you who doesn’t value family.” His heart scolded.“He already knows that family is nothing but a farce.” He thanked his mind for defending him.“Maybe she doesn’t think so?”“If she doesn’t, she is a fool as her family has proved him right.”He thought about her family and his anger resurfaced. They had made her cry and in return, he will make them cry. The glass shattered with the force and his hand started bleeding as the shards cut deep into his hand but he was far from feeling any pain.Elena looked at herself in the mirror. Aslan had chosen an off-white georgette dress for her. It was plain, full- sleeved, maxi dress. It’s like he wanted to cover her up. She was looking like a Britis
Author’s POVHe woke up and stretched his muscles. The beauty beside him was sleeping peacefully. There were still five minutes to his alarm. He bent down and kissed her soft lips. She moaned and his cock twitched. He removed the duvet and her perky breasts revealed themselves. He blew air on her nips and they hardened. He took it into his mouth and rolled his tongue around it. When she didn’t stir, he used his teeth and she groaned in her sleep.He took another one in his mouth and did the same.Elena knew what was going on. Almost every morning was same these days. It had been almost a week since his proposal and she had accepted it with a heavy heart.As he bit her, she couldn’t stay still. She groaned and felt his smile against her skin. Every time he touched her, she would spark up. Like his touch was a magic. She so wanted to detest him, but one touch and she knew she would melt, like she did just now, when his hands grabbed her tits, and kneaded them, and he placed open mouthed
Author’s POVHe saw her silent figure and tried to calm himself down. “It’s ok, Aslan, she is here. You didn’t lose her. She is right here.” He repeated to himself.But does that mean that he was not going to punish her? No way. Every mistake earns a punishment. She definitely deserves one. One that would warn her enough.Elena couldn’t dare to sleep. There was soft music playing in the car but his face kept reminding her that the night was far from over and there was something on his mind. May be a new way to punish her? But she didn’t regret running away. She had to try, even if she failed. The marriage was still a month away, she had time.After driving for more than three hours, Elena saw a distant place in the dark. It looked like a warehouse which was not even enlightened. She panicked. Is he going to kill her and leave her body here?He saw her panic. Good. She should be scared. He stopped the car at the entrance and got out. She was reluctant to accept his hand but he didn’t min
