All Chapters of Sweet Obsession: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

*Flash forward*I tried to ignore the blood that trailed the length of my arms. Noah's hands exploring each inch of my body carelessly, his lips attacking the tender skin of my neck as I bit back the bile that forced its way up my throat. My eyes had taken a permanent position of being tightly shut, all he had to do was open his eyes to see the disgust that lay upon my face and his little fantasy would be ruined. I couldn't let that happen.I forced myself to relax, I needed to keep him occupied, even if it meant sacrificing my dignity. My heart was beating in overdrive as he slowly lifted his lips from my skin, "you're so perfect Embry, and now, you're finally mine" his smirk was demonic, one that dug a bottomless pit of dread in my stomach.Maybe at some other time this attention wouldn't have been so bad. Maybe another time when I wasn't covered in blood that wasn't mine.*Present time*The sun was blinding as the curtains were forced open. "Time to get up little bug" Noah's voice

"Will you marry me, Noah?"Once the words hit the air it felt as though I regained a consciousness I didn't previously have. It was the feeling of blacking out and watching yourself do something from the depths of your mind while you really have no control of it happening. It was the sensation of self sabotage.There was no reply from him, no words were spoken between the time he dropped the hammer and stormed towards me. His aura said enough. His hand found its way into my hair as his lips crashed onto my own. I moved my lips against his, what was there for me to fight against anymore.It wasn't as though he had taken the last of my freedom, no I did that to myself. His hands trailed greedily over every inch of my body. I knew I didn't like the feeling. It was rough, it wasn't a touch of safety or comfort, it was one of the cold and loneliness. It was one of obsession.I was simply a viewer to what was happening, I no longer felt control of my body, I was functioning on autopilot. Th

I brushed past the workers as they sped down the hallways, arms full with supplies in preparation for the wedding. I was forbidden from peeking into the garden and looking at the set up otherwise "it wouldn't be as magical" as Evelyn said. There was less than 24 hours before the big ceremony so everybody was off doing things for it, while I was forced to entertain myself.Standing solo in such big hallways always sprouted a stinging feeling of loneliness within my heart, no matter how much exploring I did, it could only distract me for so long. Noah had warned me that he couldn't be disturbed under any circumstances today because of some 'important business' he had to deal with, so here I was left, just me, myself and I.Coming face to face with the large grandfather clock, I settled on passing time the same way I had yesterday and the day before yesterday and the day before that. Waiting for the big hand to hit the twelve I belted off running through the hallways, I was determined to

Whining at the pain in my head, I begrudgingly forced my eyes open. Taking a moment to regather consciousness, I sit staring at the bathroom door. Sitting. Staring. Waiting. Imagining what it would be like if the ceiling collapsed down on me right now. That would be nice, I would like that very much.Letting out a frustrated grunt I stomped over to the bathroom. My bladdery-needs forgotten once I catch a glimpse of the red skin on my neck. I recoiled as my fingers traced over the raw flesh. I hadn't realised how tight his grip was last night being too busy losing consciousness from the injection. The injection....This little shit stabbed me with his drug stick. Overcome with anger I stormed out of the room, hyping myself up to give him a piece of my mind. Maybe throw some hands. Making sure my feet made an excessive amount of noise as I trudged towards the sound of his voice. He was in the kitchen, perfect, more weapon choice for me.Shoving myself into the kitchen door, hand raised,

"I won't make a promise I know I can't keep"I kept silent as he guided me back towards the table, I couldn't think of anything to say that could possibly make me feel better after that. It seemed anytime I was finally enjoying myself or felt the slightest bit of happiness it was ripped from me.I could feel the tears sting at my eyes but I couldn't cry, not here, not now. Sitting down in my previous seat, my vision followed Noah as he crouched down in front of me, resting his hands on my knees."I'm sorry little bug, I didn't mean to upset you on your special day" he stroked the fabric resting on my knee, his other hand reaching up to stroke the skin of my cheek. "B-but, when you love someone you don't hurt them, you-you're meant to want to protect them from all the hurt in the world, do you, do you not love me anymore?" I sniffled.I could see the flash of pain pass through his eyes as his they flitted to the floor below us. "It's the only way I've ever been taught to show love, thr
