Semua Bab The Kidnapped Bride: Bab 111 - Bab 120

I tried to move my arms, legs, my whole body. But he would not let me. I could not even scream to alert Leo and Lloid.“Having fun, darling, with your little new family?” he asked. There was that same dangerous edge to his voice that scare me. He was here to hurt me. I knew it. He would not let me live. “If you scream, I will choke you until you die. Do you understand?”I nodded.He moved his palm slowly from my mouth and I was about to scream when he slapped his palm over my mouth again.“Don’t be stupid, darling. I will give you another chance because you are my wife. Think again. Will you scream? Because if you do, I will kill them too.”I shook my head. He let his palm fall once more. I did not scream this time. I did not want him to hurt Leo and Lloid.He started tracing my face with his finger.“Who did this to you?”“Why do you care?”“Who did this to you, Sully?” he growled.“My father,” I whispered.“He whipped you on the face,” he said. It was not a question. He was angry.

I still could not believe that Demian was right in front of me, not in a dream, but in person. I had pinched myself a few times to be certain that it was not a dream.“Did Luke hurt you?” I asked.“Does it look like I’m hurt?”“Demian, please… You are wearing a huge cloak. I cannot see anything.”“Do you want to see me without my cloak, my clothes?”I blushed.“As much as I would love to take off my clothes, I would rather not have you in this condition. You look frail and you are in pain,” he said. “And no, Sully. Luke didn’t hurt me. More accurately, he couldn’t hurt me.”“But how did you know what Luke was about to do?” he asked.I had already told him about the plan, so Demian knew that Luke had been on the plan with Rose.“He told me before we were about to board the ship. Then Rose told me that he wanted to kill you since Rose was now out of the way and only you remained before him. I tried to go back. I didn’t want you to get hurt or die because of me. But…”“But?”“Rose probab

“I have to tell you something.” I automatically expected the worse when Sully said this the moment I woke up and walked into the kitchen. She had cooked beef porridge and prepared orange juice. I had to admit that she had gotten very good at cooking a few dishes.I rubbed my eyes. I still was sleepy. I could not understand why I suddenly was so sleepy. I had not been like this in a long time.Lloid was still sleeping. I poked his back a few times with my finger but he did not even move. It was like he was dead, so I checked his pulse. He was alive. Just asleep.I turned my attention back to Sully, who looked like she did something she was ashamed of. It was not like Sully. She usually was never ashamed of anything she did. She rarely felt guilty about something. She always said that she never regretted a single decision she made.“Is something wrong?” I asked. My head felt numb. It was like I could not think straight. For this reason, I never took sleeping potion no matter how hard it

I made a potion for me to prevent pregnancy. Instead of relying on others, I decided to make one for me.Leo said he would stay here a while more. Demian and I would leave in three days.Demian was painting something. He had painted a lot in the past few days. He had once painted bruises on my skin which looked oddly real. I still could not forget standing in front of the mirror with those fake bruises all over my body. But now, my father gave me some real bruises.I shook my head. I had promised not to think about that. Most of the time, I pretended like everything was fine and that I was not in mental and physical pain most of the time. However, it never was possible to forget. I kept remembering and reliving that day all over again.I hated the kind of effect my father’s action had on me. I could not stop thinking about it. Whenever I closed my eyes, I kept seeing him right in front him, hurting me, beating me, whipping me. And I cried and begged, but he did not stop. No matter how

This ship was better than the one I took with Leo and Rose before. This one looked much luxurious. The cabin we got was quite big. The bed was meant for two and the sheet and covers were clean.Demian talked to the captain while I looked around our cabin. At least, I did not have to worry about catching skin diseases here, sleeping under the covers.I was truly going back with Demian. There was no turning back now. I had chosen this.Sometimes I wondered what would have happened if I did not want to go back with Demian. Would he have forced me to come with him?I did not know. I did not want to know the answer, lest it should make feel bad. Besides, I knew what kind of person Demian was. He might be better than Alexander, but in the end, they were similar in many ways. I could not expect him to change himself, not after the way he had to grow up. He had to kill his own twin brother. That kind of thing was bound to mess up someone’s conscience. It was a surprise that Demian had not tur
