Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Violet POV:-

1 Week Later:-

What the hell does he want now? I don't have any strength left in me anymore to disobey him. I was being broke again and again by staying with him in this house. Every Time I looked at him, I regret knowing that expression which I was never able to reveal; Obsession. His eyes never held any emotion of love and affection for me. He is heartless. He can't love anyone. I should have known that. I was so Naive. I thought he had a single shred of love in his heart for me but no, I am nothing but a plaything , his obsession.

I was staring at my food. I have stopped rebelling because now I know that the reason he was showing me such power, dominance and command to let me know that I am a thing inferior to him. He is crazy for me and it's the reason for him to bear and adore me. He doesn't care if I love him or not, he wants me; that's all.I wonder what made him that cold, that even his wedding is merely a show of his power like he can get whatever he wants. He gets me with the price of sacrificing my emotions and intoxicates it with his obsession.

"Violet...." He interrupted me from my thoughts.

"Hmm?" I looked up at him.

"Eat Properly. You're not eating properly these days."

"I see. I will eat..."I began to eat even though I didn't want to.

"Good."

"Raymond..?" Then I asked. He hummed as I continued, "Do you love me?" I asked. He stopped eating and looked at me in disbelief, "What are you talking about?"

"Do you love me or not?" I asked again.

'Wasn't what I did to get enough for you to know?' he asked. "You don't." I looked down. "Don't question my love, Violet." He said sternly.

"Why? Because you know it's not love?" I asked in a low tone.

"No, love. Why are you saying this?" He asked softly, he put his hand over mine and gave it an assuring squeeze which cannot give me any consolation. "Please don't belittle my love for you." Only if you have love in your heart for me. I hummed and nodded, "Okay." We began to eat together.

For the past 2 weeks, I was trying to become my usual self but the damage is far too much. A part of me wants to leave him. While another part of me wants him to show love and affection to me rather than showing his supremacy.

I looked out of the window with those empty eyes of mine. He entered the room and slammed the door behind with full force making a loud 'thud' sound. I looked at him as he threw his coat as well as his tie away before I could say anything he left for the washroom.

When he came out, he was still wearing his white shirt and Grey pants. His sleeves were rolled upwards as he opened the few buttons of his shirt. Then he sat on the bed and began to rub his temples,

"Are you all right?" I asked, concerned but still my voice lacks emotions.

He looked at me and stood up, I also stood up as he took steps toward me. My breath hitched as he stood in front of me. He pulled his hair, making it messy.

"What happened?" He repeated my words with exasperation. He held my elbow and looked at me with anger,

"YOU. That's what happened."

I didn't know what to say. I haven't done anything this time. I was good. I obeyed him like he wants to, now what does he want?

"You...You..." He sounded... hurt. "Why are you so shattered?' he asked. "You broke me." I whispered. "You broke your toy, Raymond." He whispered desperately but it made me feel like he was also tired like me. "You are not a toy." He enunciated.

"Release me from this." I blurted out.

"What?" He asked, his one hand was in his hair while the other was holding my elbow.

"You're hurting me. Release from this pain. This marriage...." I asked as a tear threatened to fall.

"Oh No... You can't possibly even think of leaving me, Violet."

He let me go as he began to walk closer as I walked back.

"As for hurting you..."He began to trail off. He put his hands on either side when I stumbled upon the wall. I squeak in scare as he began to say huskily,

"Oh don't worry love~ I won't hurt you physically. But the other ways aren't very promising either"

My legs became weak. My heart skipped a beat as violent chills were releasing themselves from my very soul.

His Brief moment of hurt was replaced by his lethal presence again. I closed my eyes and turned my face to look away. He moved his face towards me. I can feel his breath on my cheeks. He began to say in a scary voice,

"If the mere thought of running away from me ever crossed your mind again....."

He then moved to my ears and began to said huskily,

"Then the thought of Defiling you won't hesitate to cross my mind either...."

There he goes again, showing nothing but his Pure Obsession. He pressed himself against me and continued on my neck,

"You. Belong. To. Me... Don't you dare to forget that."

After remaining like that, he hugged me. His fingers were running through my hairs as he hugged me tightly. And suddenly his presence changed,

"Violet... Love... Look..." His voice became nervous this time. What is wrong with him? Why can't he just show one thing at one time? Now he's nervous after being scared.

"I...know...I have done something...I"He trailed off.

"Violet..I...I am...I am sorry..." and I was shocked by him swallowing his Pride to say 'sorry'.This is the first time his whole being was showing love and affection. The regret and care were lingering from his every word. It was something I was trying so hard to find in him but couldn't, but now I did.

Raymond POV:-

This is the first time I swallowed my Pride and said Sorry to someone. I just couldn't help myself seeing her like that. It was frustrating. I just don't want her to become like that.

Too much to my astonishment she hugged me back.As she began to run her fingers through my Raven locks as she pulled them slightly, making me feel an entirely different emotion. I was aroused by her action. I nuzzle my head in her neck as we remained like this,

"It's okay..."She said in a low voice.

"Thanks.."I smiled at her neck.

"Two words of such politeness? Are you even Raymond?"She joked as I scoffed. I never want this moment to end but eventually, it did. She pulled away as we left for dinner...

My crave for her never ceases, instead it increases every moment ...
