The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: Plan To Disgust.
I pace around my tiny apartment, waiting for the other shoe to drop, glancing occasionally at my phone to see if I've been contacted. When I told Ashley the whole ordeal, she told me she had to end the call to start planning for my burial and even went as far as asking me who and who I wanted to be at the burial. When my phone screen lights up, I run towards it, only to find out it's just my dad calling. “Hello, father.” I say in a cold tone once I pick up the call. In my dictionary, those two words could be taken to mean ‘Why the hell are you calling me?’ ‘how much do you need from me?’ “Aella, your tantrums have gone on for far too long. It's time to come home.” My Father says in a stern tone. I breathe in heavily, not knowing how to express to this narcissistic person that I do not intend to come back home any time soon. “I'm not coming back home, father. I have an apartment and a job, and I'm doing just okay.” I say to him with a tight strained smile I hope he can sense from
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: Perfect Gentleman.
Roman places a plate of diced chicken in front of me. I ignore it just like I had ignored every other food he had placed in front of me. I push my rice around the plate, not in the least bit concerned that Roman had told me ‘to stop sulking’. Well, fuck him. If he didn't want me to sulk, then he shouldn't go around terrorizing people around me. “I didn't kill him.” Roman says in a solemn tone that catches me by surprise. I glare at him, gripping my fork tightly in a fist. In the short period we've been here, I've considered stabbing him with this fork more than a thousand times. “It's nice to know you still have a working moral compass.” “Anything for you, Princess.” Roman says with a smirk probably happy that he was able to get a rise out of me. “I was being sarcastic.” I say to him not concerned that I was falling directly into his trap. “How is your job going at the bookshop?” Roman asks in between bites. “It's going extremely well, considering I don't have to see you there a
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: Recalled Engagement.
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICITLY DESCRIBED SEXUAL ACTIVITIES. PLEASE, DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY SUCH.“What are you going to do?” I ask Roman in a very small voice. “Come here, princess.” Roman says holding his hand out to me. I look from his hand back to his face and back again, moving robotically towards him. When I'm alone in my apartment later, I will dissect my actions and come up with plausible reasons why in this moment rather than moving away from him I'm moving towards him. The drive down here had been filled with thick silence. I hadn't dared to say a word to him due to my fear and nervousness. When he took a wrong turn away from my apartment, I told him so but he barely responded with a ‘I'm not taking you home.’ Roman pulls me across the threshold of his very amazing lounge area and into a very spacious bedroom. “Take off your clothes.” Roman says in a very calm tone. I hold on to the frilly dress, very grateful for all the extra unnecessary fab
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: Unexpected Visitor.
“Be good, princess.” Roman says to me before leaning over the centre console to plant a kiss on my cheek. I do not wait for any orders as I quickly step out of the car and run up the stairs leading to the dilapidated building I called an apartment. I turn back for a second, finding Roman's car parked in the exact same spot. After we had showered, he got a call from his secretary, apparently something serious went down at the company and he had to leave the state as soon as possible. He had told me he would be away for a few days and I had never been happier. He looked at me like he expected me to be sad or something. Heck, he could go away forever and I wouldn't feel a thing. Well…… maybe I would but just a little. I rush up the stairs leading to my apartment, with my mind on how I'm going to dissuade Roman from his intentions of ensuring we get married. I take out a spare key I usually keep under the welcome rug just in front of my door and I use it to open my door. Ashley star
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: Time Is Up, Princess.
“What are you talking about, I'm not owing you any money at all.” I say to Roman trying to think of a time when I had needed money from him. Could it have been those two years I can't seem to remember anything about? One of Roman's goons at his indication steps forward and hands me a brown-colored file. I stare at the file in his hands for some time before finally taking it from him. “You might want to sit down for that.” Roman says in a mocking tone. I glare at him before sitting down on the single chair closest to me. I flip open the file and read the heading which says, “Accrued Medical bills.” I frown as I read the figures which must be obviously exaggerated. Just for an upgrade in room costs fifteen thousand dollars per week. The drugs and everything including the extremely comfortable bed as well as the extra services of the nurses and doctor cost more than half a million. I feel my eyes fill with tears and I feel lightheaded at the same time. How the hell am I going to pa
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: No Other Option.
“Get in the car, Aella.” Roman says, staring at me through the window. I bite my words and pride, pulling open the passenger seat door, and settling into the seat without sparing Roman a glance. When I finally summon up the courage to take a look at Roman, I see him smirking at me and I almost pull my hair in anger. I stare out the window, choosing to ignore Roman's presence beside me. “Where are we going?” I ask Roman, my curiosity getting the best of me. “You will see.” Roman says before turning his attention back to his laptop which he had placed in front of him. For the remainder of the drive, I listen to Roman drone on and on to his subordinates who he was on a video call with. I was kinda glad I wasn't forced to have any kind of conversation with him. I stare at the passing scenery before me, gasping lightly when we enter into what seems to be a gated estate. The houses here were totally magnificent. They looked beautiful in the sunset. We stop in front of a mansion whic
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: RULES.
I stumble back into my room, wondering why I had not resisted the urge to find out what was behind the locked door. Roman keeps stalking toward me and with no sense of direction, I fall to the ground, only managing to get on my knees before Roman stops in front of me. Roman looks at me with a self assured smirk adorning his face, cradling my head in his palms he says, “I must say, princess, I love you on your knees before me." I try to scramble away but Roman refuses to let me go, he tightens his fist around my hair, pulling me into him until I'm eye level with his growing bulge. “Let me go, Roman.” I seethe. “Beg me, princess. Make it believable.” Roman says with a sharklike grin that turns my insides into a quivering mess. Not willing to spend another minute on this damn floor and after realising that no matter how hard I struggle, I would not be able to break free from his grasp, I give into his wishes. “Please. Let. Me. Go.” I say angrily through clenched jaw. “Try again, p
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: Who Is She?
“What am I supposed to do with all this time on my hands?” I ask through clenched teeth. “Sit there and look pretty.” Roman says, sipping casually from the glass in front of him.“You can always allow me to go back to my work.” I say to Roman, choosing to ignore his sentence and altogether hopeful for a positive response. “About that…… I took the liberty to resign on your behalf.” Roman says, shrugging nonchalantly. “You did what?” I scream at him, standing up so fast I knock down the chair I had been sitting on to the ground. “Stop screaming, princess, it will do you no good.” Roman says in a stern tone. “The hell it will. I refuse to stand by and watch you take control of my life, I'm also a person, I have rights as much as the next person.” I sat angrily, swiping away all the plates and spoons that were on the table in front of me to the floor in anger. I could still hear the breaking of the ceramic plates and cups even after everything lay still on the floor. When a maid ste
