Chapter 32: Chapter 32

"No, Raymond.. Stop." I whispered, not wanting to look at him.

"Look at me. It's your punishment for disobeying me." He let out a suppressed laugh over my neck and put the strap of my bra in his mouth, he moved his head back and released it, it hit me. I gasp, my energy drained from me. A shiver anticipated by the dread of his upcoming action chills up my spine.

His free hand from my hairs moved down, tracing his fingers over my skin slowly, embedding the sensation of his touch into my core and made me shudder endlessly in fright. His hand stops at the button of my pants, My eyes widen in extreme horror.

I tried to push him away but he was too strong. He smirk just when he was about to open it up but then I heard someone's voice,

"RAYBRO! SISTER I AM BACK!"

Upon hearing that, both our breath hitched, He backed away quickly as Celine entered and looked at me with a red face. Her eyes widened as a blush formed on her face, she looked away immediately. I also composed myself and closed the buttons of my shirt as Raymond was looking away in embarrassment.,

"Oh... Yeah... You are married now... I shouldn't roam like that..." She trailed off nervously. After a few seconds, Raymond cleared his throat and began to say,

"Welcome back and don't worry. I am just teaching someone something. But that can be done later." My head stopped hearing the word later and I think of it as a chance to go and said,

"Welcome Celine! Good timing, Tomorrow there's a play at my Brother's school. Wanna come?" I smiled.

"I WOULD LOVE TO COME!" She said as she dragged me away and Raymond glared at me as I smirked and mouthed a 'I win'.

Raymond POV:-

I just couldn't believe that she had just done it. I am so angry right now. Now she's gonna learn. Fuming with wrath, I am not letting it slide, she has tested me for too good, And today I am not gonna hesitate even for a second to teach her manners this time. How dare she, resisting me and now defying me. I grit my teeth and left for work.

I came back from work as we were having dinner, Violet avoided my gaze. She will learn.

"RAYBRO! ME AND SISTER ARE GOING TO SLEEP TOGETHER!"

"Okay." I said without looking up. She has to come back to our room one day. We all went to our rooms.

At night, I went to the kitchen to refill my water bottle and saw Violet and Celine cooking there,

"Violet. Celine." I called and they both looked at me fearfully. Celine began to say something in terror but Violet said in a calm tone,

"We're Hungry."

"Celine, go to your room." I ordered. She looked down and left without saying anything.

I walked toward her, to find us alone . The morning's events came to her mind and made her chill. I stood in front of her and pressed my body against her. She looked so petrified. She looked down, not meeting my gaze. I lean in and began to bite her neck harshly as she let out a yelp,

"If I heard any single damn voice then be ready."I told her terrifyingly.

She bit her lips to stop crying. I formed a mark on her neck and said huskily,

"You... How dare you... Disobey me..."

She looked away. I yanked her head towards me.

"Look at me."

I held her waist and pulled her up, making her sit on the counter. She gasped and held my shirt. She shut her eyes. I snaked my one arm around her waist and pulled her close so her lower body touched mine. My other hand lifted her chin and ordered, "Open your eyes."

She looked at me in fear. I leaned in and was about to say something but she said first, "Please Raymond..."

I placed a soft kiss on her jawline and asked teasingly, "Please what, sweetie?" I could hear the sound of her thumping heartbeat which sounded like a melody to my ears and gave me satisfaction.

"Please. Don't proceed any further. I would do anything." She said breathlessly.

"Then Kiss me." I said huskily. She stared at me for a few seconds and tilted her head a little, looking at me in a merismetic way which was unfathomable to me.

Before I could register her mystifying emotions, She abruptly held my face and kissed me passionately. She kissed me with her will, moving her lips in a perfect sync unlike before, moving my heartbeat in rhythm to hers. She hand traveled down as she put her hand over my heart. She smiled when she pulled away. "Your heart beats, Raymond. You are alive, your blood is warm, then why are you so cold?" She asked softly, pressing her palm against my chest more. My heart began to fast because of her actions, "See, it's pace increased." She smiled more. Why can't she hate me? That's gonna make things easier for both of us.

"You can smile, you can love. No need to lock in darkness." She said reassuringly. To which I replied hurriedly, "Nothing can save me." My whole body stiff when I heard her next words,

"I will become your salvation.."

My hands stopped. My mind went blank. I stared at her as she was smiling. Why? Why can't you hate me? Why are you trying so hard to save me? I couldn't think straight.

A part of me wants to pull her close and tell her to Love and Save me while the other part of me is too scared to feel love again. I am scared. I can never allow myself to trust someone again. What if she broke my trust and deceived me, only to release herself from this marriage?

I walked back and left but I heard her again; she was talking to herself.

"I will save you. Please trust me."

Why? Please Violet stop it. I don't want to be saved. I can't... I am broken beyond repair. The scars on my heart and body are irremovable. Nothing in this world can save me, I have been made this way- with the incapability to love and devote, please don't try it, you will gain nothing but tears in the end. It would be better to leave me in the gloomy nights of anguish.
