"Now, you're gonna be a good girl and tell everyone that we make up"He spoke in a soft tone while wiping my tears. His fake affection is alarming me and I know it better than anyone that he is ordering me to do that.
"I won't., "I said. His grip on my waist tightened as he pulled me close and began said,
"You are not disobeying me, are you Ester?" My heart froze. "Yes, I am. I will not tell anyone." I said, unafraid, losing my breath. The never-ending chill was released by my body. My trembling legs are almost losing their balance. He embedded deep fears in my heart. I can't stay with him. What will he gain by staying with me? Can't he just release me from this terror?
"Hmm? You won't?"
"I-I won't ."My quivering lips disobeyed him again. Despite the dread that elicits in my heart just by thinking about the consequences. I pushed him away and tried to leave but before my mind could comprehend what happened he picked me up and threw me on the sofa. He towered over me as my breath hitched at the closeness.
"Are you disobeying me, Ester?"He said with a scowl. Every time he said my name my heart skipped a beat. He is holding me captive in his arms. His body is pressed against mine. Heat radiating from his body made me shudder. He was never this intimate before. He is filled with desire, not Dominance. It is almost like he is..aroused. He always shows power, not lust. His face is so close to mine. The closeness is alarming me. "Don't come near me." I said, trying to create some distance between us but to no avail.
"You cannot leave me." he said, sternly, staring deep into my eyes and rushing incomprehensible frights in me.
"W-Why?..please..stop., "I begged while I clutched the hem of my dress tightly. He leans in, I turn my head away. I don't want to lose my first kiss in fright. Right now this all is filling me with undesirable anxiety. I am afraid of what he is planning. He nuzzles close to my neck and inhales my scent. I shivered at his action.
"...I can't get enough of you..", His hot breath lingered on my skin as goosebumps formed. This is the first time I heard his husky voice. My grip tightened on my dress. My dried lips gulped in fear.
"I won't tell anyone. I cannot live with you." I said in a low voice. Upon hearing it, a menacing smirk made its way to his lips, "Looks like, I have to make you." He whispered. In a split second, he pinned my hands above my head with his one hand. He nuzzled to my neck and brushed his lips over my skin, unnerving shivers to my soul.
He grazed his fingertip on the side of my face and moved it down, his hand roaming my body and making me feel repugnant. I couldn't take it anymore as the tear I was trying so hard to hold spilled out. I whimpered, "Please don't..." I whispered desperately.
He moved and brushed his lips over mine and said in a husky voice, "Do as I say, Ester or else..." His lips moved down to my chest slowly, his hot breath lingering on my skin etched great apprehension inside me. "I won't mind showing you my desires." I gasped, utterly scared of him, appalled by his words.
He pulled away and stared at me. His Gray eyes show a hint of lust. Our breaths are filling the silence and moving in a sync. His eyes are studying me. He was waiting for me to say what his ears wanted. Fearing the worst, I shudder in fear,
"..I-I'll tell e-everyone "
He smiled as my whole being stiffed. He is so pleased, at my subjugation. He knows that one way or another he can easily draw out the fears that are running through my veins, leaving me with no choice but to obey.
"Good girl," he said as he got away. I also sat on the sofa and began to cry out loud. His actions were so disgusting and intimidating, I lost his power again. He broke me. As i was crying, trying to let out the tingling sensations of his touch which is impossible. He brought his hand close to my face, wanting to wipe my tears but I yanked his hand away and wiped my tears. After struggling for a while, I finally composed myself.
He was Continuously looking at me. I felt anxious at his stare. Then he held my hand. I gasped at his action. He slid the ring back in my finger; the ring I threw at his face. I convulsed in dread. I shifted my gaze and met him. He looked at me with a glint of.. passion?
"You threw it at my face, right?" he spoke in a low vehement tone, tightening his grip over my hand. My breath hitched in terror. "I don't want to live with you." I managed to reply.
"It's not an option for you." He said, letting go of my hand. His presence crushed me miserably. "Why are you doing this?" I asked.
"It's simple Ester." He said and stood up. He put his hands in the pocket of his pants and turned to me, "Back then, I was forced to be with you and now you are forced to be with me." he smirked.
"You can't do this to me." I said, angrily. His predatory eyes scanned me as he leaned close to my face. "I can do everything with you."
"I won't let you." I managed to breathe out. "Don't destroy our lives, Desmond." I said in a croaked voice, "We are already devastated, Ester."
"What is the point of this loveless marriage!? Why are you doing this? I don't want to live with you." I said vexxed. "Because I need you!" He shouted and grabbed my arm, forcing me to stand up. I winced in pain, looking away.
"Listen up, Ester. Whether you want it or not, you cannot leave me. It would be better for you if you engrave it in your soul, understood?" His voice was low but filled with intense passion. I couldn't do anything but give him a nod.
He hummed as I gulped when we left the room. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder. Everyone looked at us in shock. He smiled as I was amazed by how he can show such fakeness. Just a moment ago, he was showing his power and dominance and now, like he fixed everything.
"We made up. I apologized for my mistakes."He kissed my forehead too much to my astonishment. Apologized? No, you showed me that I can do nothing without you. That you held power over me. That you have ownership over me and I can't do anything unless you want to!
Everyone sighed in relief and smiled. They all pulled us into a family hug. I smiled weakly at this. Only if they knew what happened...
I went to my room to get my stuff. Mother came in and called me,
"Ester.."
"Yes, Mother?"I looked at her. She smiled and began to say,
"Love Listen, fights happen in a marriage. But, taking a drastic measure as divorce is too big. I am not blaming you or anything like that but, if there's anything we can do for you tell us. I know you are hesitating to tell us something. I am not forcing you but, remember we are here for you. We will respect every decision you will make "I smiled and hugged my mother.
Mother, I wish I could tell you what I have been through. What kind of fright is residing within me. How he is breaking me. How I lost myself again in his game of power and dominance...
We pulled away as we both wiped our tears. We left the room. We walked out of the house.
"I promise, this will never happen again "I heard Desmond's voice. I Lowered my gaze when I saw Desmond. He pulled me close as my heart began to race. Not because of the closeness but because of the horror of what might happen to me when we'll be home.
I lowered my head while everyone was talking.
I know one thing Desmond, I can never win against your power...
