CHAPTER 8: GOOD ENOUGH.
*SOPHIA*
The following morning,I awoke to the chink of china rattling and sat up to be served breakfast in bed on a tray complete with a linen napkin and a pretty flower in a bud vase.'So,this was what it's like to be spoiled'I thought, ruefully, pushing my wild tumble of black curls out of my eyes as the smiling old lady chattering in broken English opened the curtains and threw open the doors onto the balcony, inviting fresh air and sunshine.Staring at the pancakes,I discovered that I was ravenous.I didn't have the appetite to eat anything the previous day.All I just wanted was to get through that day."Mr O'Connell left already.He said he would be time to have dinner with you"I wish he would just give me space so I don't have to see him at all.But I know I would be asking for too much if I make that request.I don't even know up until when he would wait and not geCHAPTER 9: THIS BROKEN MAN.*DAMIEN*"You don't need to understand anything.Ana,you ain't related to me and even if you are,you opinion doesn't matter in my life so stop crossing your boundaries"I warned and walked away.I found Sophia in the dining room already eating dinner.For a moment,I just stood by the door, watching her as she ate.Everything about her fascinates me to the core.The way she handles the cutleries....the way her throat flexes as she swallows."Good evening"She greeted without staring at me."Evening...how was your day?""Fine,I guess"She snapped."I got you something"I announced stretching the bouquet to her.She stared at me then at the flowers as if contemplating whether to accept it or not."I hate flowers"She replied.That kinda hurts.I know she is lying.She doesn't want me giving her flowers."If she hates flowers,you can give th
CHAPTER 10:HIS DEMONS.*SOPHIA*I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I won't be at peace with myself if I leave him in this condition.I hurriedly dropped my phone in my bedroom.....Raul was calling.'I'm sorry,Raul.Maybe we could leave another day'I don't even know what excuse I would say to him.Walking back to Damien's door,I lifted up my hand to knock but I know if I knock...he would quickly arrange his things and think of a cover up story before opening up for me.Bending the doorknob,I walked in to find him leaning against the headboard.The syringes are still on the floor.He looked surprised to see me as he quickly sat up to take care of the mess."I'll do it"I offered."I can do it....If you need something, could you excuse me for a second... I'll be with you shortly"Why does he love shutting people out?"I want to take care of this....where do you put them?"I asked.
CHAPTER 11:HOT AND BOTHERED.*SOPHIA*"Can you.... sleep here tonight?If you want to...that is. I just want you to know that I won't force you into anything again, I can wait until you're ready to accept me"He stuttered like a teenager.I nibbled my lips.God!He doesn't picture me ever leaving him.And I almost did today.He's comfortable with me because he thinks I'm the only person who wouldn't think of crushing him.What am I going to do?I don't want to hurt him more than he already is.I smiled trying to cover up my inner meltdown."I will spend the night here but I have to change""Change into something of mine.If you go to your bedroom,you might change your mind"He retorted.I'm starting to feel hot......hot for him.I nodded."The dressing room is that way"I walked into the dressing room and looked around.Damn!He has so many clothes.
CHAPTER 1: BLOOD.July 3rd,1996."I can't believe I'm on my knees begging you to spare my life"Tobias O'Connell muttered, bitterly to Wyatt Gentry whom he had supposedly called his best friend for so many years.This bestfriend now held him at gunpoint."If you had just listened to me,it wouldn't have gotten to this point"Wyatt thundered.Their voices woke eight years old Damien from sleep.Everywhere was dark.He slowly got up and put on the lights in his bedroom.He walked out of his bedroom and came by the staircase.He saw his parents on their kneels.He found it hard to believe that Wyatt was pointing a gun at them."Please..... please kill me,Wyatt....Just have mercy on my family... I'm begging you"Tobias pleaded as hot tears rolled down his cheeks.Wyatt aimed at his mother, Martha.He pulled the trigger....It was as if he was watching a movie....He had wat
CHAPTER 2:SO DARK AND BROODING*SOPHIA*"This is one sexy little bitch"A huge man hovered above me while two others tied up my hands.They had taken me to the other part of the alley and I was scared as hell."Bones, don't you think we should get outta here,you heard the gunshots, right?"One of the men asked. Bones?The name was just as twisted as he looked."C'mon... nothing serious might've happened.It might just be some few assholes testing out their weapons.Are you willing to let this bitch go for some fucking noise?"Bones asked.I swallowed hard.I have heard of different stories about girls being raped.I never thought I'll be in that position one day.I could get raped by three men and killed tonight.Tears pooled in my eyes.I have to get out of here.I can't die...I have my mom to think of.My dreams of becoming a well-known artist.I've never believed in miracles but I
CHAPTER 3:A NERVE-WRECKING SURPRISE.*DAMIEN*I hate helping anyone out.I always minded my own business but when I passed by and saw her completely helpless.Crying and helpless.For the first time in my life,I wanted to help someone.She's beautiful...I've met a lot of women...all my past submissives are gorgeous but this woman is beautiful in a unique way.I let go of her and moved back.I'm not like this.I even admitted to her that she's fucking beautiful.This is just for tonight...after this...I won't feel so unsettled.She started walking again but she wasn't quiet for long.She told me all about herself even if I didn't ask.She was in her sophomore year in college.She boasted of how well she could paint.She said she could draw me but I think she only said that to see if I'd take off my mask.I can't take it off.Would she still think I'm a good person
CHAPTER 4:ONLY LIGHT IN MY DARKNESS.*SOPHIA*I'm equally shocked as Raul was and after taking a few minutes to convince him that I know nothing of this....he believed me.Thank God we had deep trust for each other.He could move mountains for me and I'm prepared to do anything for him too.I'm presently on my way to know about this marriage nonsense from my father.There is no way I'm getting married to Mr O'Connell.... someone whom I don't know.Someone whom the press had tagged as some cold hearted billionaire or some shit.How could my father do something like this without confronting me first?Moments later,I strode through the door of his office.It seems like he was already prepared to face me.He wore an expensively tailored suit and his short black hair was wisped with gray at the temples.His face was broad,with shrewd dark eyes and a square chin.When I deliberately didn
CHAPTER 5:WILLPOWER.*SOPHIA*"You've been mine a long time ago... I was just too hesitant to do something about it but I'm telling you now....you have to agree to those three months of being my wife and I can assure you that after those months,you won't want to go anywhere.If you still don't agree to that...then I won't go ahead with the marriage stuff... I'm going to take you captive"I don't know what to say.I should say something...I should argue with him...I can't stay with him for three whole months but I know this man can possibly do anything he deem fit.He's offering to take me in as his wife or as a slave.I can't believe I have to chose between the two options.If I wanted to run away,I need a lot of money to do so.... I needed to go to a country extremely far away from here but I don't have that kind of money to stay in hiding.I'm sure Raul doesn't too.He bare

CHAPTER 7:ALONE*SOPHIA*"I wish she was given the chance to spoil me rotten"He murmured."I'm sorry,that was so out of line.I....""It's okay."His expression was storm cloud broody and lightning flashed in his eyes."It's late, We've had a pretty long day, you're tired and I am too.We should get some rest"I should be happy that any plans he might have had about taking me is cut off but I feel bad that I caused the look of sadness in his eyes.He moved closer to me.I thought we were going to get some rest."There is no way you can get out of that dress on your own"He said turning me around so that my back was to him.Speechless and feeling as though I was burning up from the inside out, I felt Damien take the zip and slowly pull it down....all the way until the knuckles of his fingers touched the bare, sensitive skin just above my buttocks.My hand grasped my dress to my chest.Burning all
CHAPTER 6:TOO FAR.*SOPHIA*"Dear all,we are gathered here today to celebrate the nuptials between SophiaMonteiro and Damien O'Connell.If anyone has any objection as to why these two individuals should not be joined in holy matrimony, please speak up now or forever hold your peace"The priest said, solemnly.Every woman's dream is to walk down the aisle to the man she loves.... prepared to share the rest of her life with him.I'm the romantic type and I swear I never pictured myself forced into a marriage of convenient.My only comfort to this is that I know that it isn't forever."I object"I'm surprised at a woman's voice.Slowly,even though I tried to stop myself from doing it,I turned around.It felt like one of those slow motion scenes in movies when something horrible is going to happen.The heroine is only ever in time to turn around with a scream and shout "No" in that slow motion voice that sound
