C34 You could look beautiful

Sophia's pov

He was gone, my prince charming, my saviour my protector, how could he? How could he say all those things to me? Why would he ever say such things? I was in pain.

The walls around me seemed to slowly vanish as my vision became more and more blurry with the ocean of tears filling up my eyes. I was so heartbroken and sad, why would he scream at me like that? Blaming for things I was never responsible for.

I want to go, I wish I could go.. break that stupid contract and leave that monster forever, just continue the life I had started building for myself. But even if I had the courage to, strength was the last thing I had. I can barely move, barely think, barely feed.

Who would have such a broken and helpless person in their home? Even my father can't help me because he is the reason for my torture. I hate him! But I actually can't really because he remains my dad and well... I have to grow up right? Understand that things must be done to maintain a certain balance, sacrifices must be made for my loved ones and I'm definitely not a kid anymore.

I guess I'll have to get used to the fact that I'm all alone against a life I never chose and all I have to do is hold on with every bit of strength I still have until my body gives up. But again is this all really worth it?

"Mrs Holmes?" Rae knocked on the door shifting me slowly away from my thoughts

"Yes, Rae, come in," she entered and placed a tray full of fruits and salivating odours, but to her greatest sorrow, it didn't move me a bit.

"Mrs Holmes, it's been a week now that you left the hospital, you have to eat something to heal properly" she said with a soft and pitiful tone. I hated it, being seen as weak and fragile all because of him! Because that monster couldn't stand me, and has no other stupid thing to do with his damn life than hitting me.

"Why should I do that Rae? So that he gets more excited when hitting me? Continue torturing me because he knows I'll surely heal? Molest me and let his cowardly self take control of me? I won't Rae!"

I was tired, frustrated full of anger and irritation.

Zack was surely right, I let myself down too much, I became weak and vulnerable. It's true, it's stupid of me to think this way. But I'm just too tired...Of everything! I don't want to obey any orders! To behave the way they expect me to and just continue this monotonous painful lifestyle.... I want to leave.

"I'm sorry Mrs, I'll take away the tray" Rae said with pain evident in her eyes taking the tray in her hands.

"Put down the food and leave." An imposing and nauseous aura invaded the room. I looked towards the door and saw no other person than the monster I have as a husband. Alex entered the room and threw a deadly look at Rae which made her stand still for a moment.

She then put the food down as ordered, greeted him and left the room as ordered. His jet black hair, his beautiful jawline and Mesmerising features...he would have been the perfect husband if he behaved as beautifully as he looked.

"Quit staring wife, I didn't know you desired me this much" he said, with an obvious smirk on his face. I turned my eyes quickly away from him but I could hear his steps approaching slowly.

Fear invaded my senses. My heartbeat was going wild and I couldn't bear more injuries for now. If he hits me again, my body won't stand it.. I can't.. please don't... I didn't do anything wrong this time. Again when did I ever do anything wrong?

He became so close that I could smell his invasive perfume. He suddenly touched my jaw and started caressing it smoothly, almost in an affectionate manner.

"You could look beautiful in a way, without all the injuries of course" he said slowly almost scaring me. Alex telling me I'm beautiful? Is he officially killing me? Is he high? Or is my brain already clotting?

He sat on the bed next to me and stared right into my eyes. My body was shivering, anticipating any form of harm he might want to do to me. "It's about time we consume this marriage, don't you think dear wife?"

Those words resonated in my ears for what felt like an hour before I could process them. Me? Have sex with Alex? There is no possible way he just said that!

"Are you high or something?!" I said, staring right into his eyes while shifting gently on the side. He might be drunk, high, and ready to hit me any second from now. "There is no way on earth I'm having sex with you monster!! Are you crazy?! Look what you did to me! I can barely stand!"

" Who wants you to stand? I presume you are not a virgin anymore with this shitty character of yours. I'll take care of everything. There are some things I need to get ready first so take time to look presentable."

"You must be joking!" I said looking at him shocked and confused. Tears slowly filled my eyes as thoughts of me having this monster as a sex partner invaded my brain. What type of partner was he? Would he chain me, strangle me, hit me again... Or perhaps he was a good lover?..

"Be ready tomorrow by 8pm." He stood heading for the door and stopped in a moment. "If I were you, I'd eat and sleep enough." he left, without saying anything more. What a bastard! Now could this marriage ever get worse!? Warm tears started flowing down my cheeks as I buried my head in a pillow... For God's sake why!!!.
