Chapter 65: Chapter 65

Constance's point of view:

I slowly open my eyes, my head hurts a lot. I supported my head with my palms as I tried to sit up. Why does my head hurt so much? Where am I? What happened to me? I'm confused.

“You are finally awake, sweetheart."

What! That's Darren's voice. How is that possible? I must be dreaming. Darren is in prison. There's no way he could be talking to me right now because I'm not in the prison with him.

I fearfully look to my left where his voice came from, praying so hard that I will not see Darren, that whatever I heard will just come from my head and not be a reality.

I flinched greatly when my eyes fell on Darren who had a smug smile on his lips which I noticed to be broken. His face also has some fresh scars on it. He looks like someone who had been torturing. Of course, he should. He's in prison and some prison mates are psychos. If you should survive in a prison, you should be strong to defend yourself and it looks like Darren is not.

But wait… why am I with Darren? I'm supposed to be at my birthday party. Oh! No, now I remember. I can remember when my husband was singing for me. The lights suddenly went off and then I sniffed something that made me lose my consciousness. And now, I'm with Darren. Wait a minute…. Was I kidnapped by Darren?

“You look so beautiful sweetheart." Darren's irritating voice came up, snapping me out of my thoughts. He tried touching my face but I pushed his hand away.

“Don't you dare touch me you bastard!" I snapped in anger. I haven't forgotten what Darren did to me. He made a very big mistake to show his face in front of me because I am going to kill him.

But why is Darren not in prison? He was supposed to be in prison. Did he escape or what? How did he manage to kidnap me?

I heard his disgusting chuckling. I glared at him but he seemed unaffected by my hateful glare.

“Don't be aggressive, sweetheart. You are mine and this time, you will be mine for good." He forcefully drew my head close to his by holding my neck. Before I could push him away, he clashed his lips with mine. I widened my eyes in shock.

What the fuck! I can't let myself be kissed by this disgusting man. I tried pushing him away but he's too strong, it's like trying to push a rock. Of course, I wasn't kissing him back but he was forcing his tongue into mine while I tried my best to keep my lips closed.

He groaned in anger because I wasn't patting my lips so he could get access to my tongue. He hit my stomach. I gasp and wince in pain. He used the opportunity of my mouth opening when I gasped and slid his tongue into my mouth. I got irritated and bit his tongue.

He groaned in pain and released me. I bit him so hard that blood started dropping out from his mouth. He glowered at me, his eyes are dark and full of anger. He looks like a monster. I haven't seen Darren this way. Even when he forced me to marry him, he doesn't look at me with the gaze he's using now. And come to think of it, he hit me. Darren never hit me. What has changed this time?

I was still lost in my thoughts when I felt a sharp pain on my cheeks. I widened my eyes in shock as I stared at Darren. No, a monster. This is a monster in front of me and not Darren. The look in his eyes is so dangerous. His eyes are flashing anger in the form of fire. I touched my cheek. It hurt, I'm sure he must have left a mark there.

“How dare you bite me!" He growled. I flinched and gulped down in fear. I tried to cower back but my back hit the headboard. Darren roughly drew me close to him as he held my neck, not minding that he's hurting me due to how roughly he held my neck. I winced in pain. I can feel his fingers dipping into my flesh. It's so painful but I refused to show my weakness. I know that my life is at the mercy of Darren right now but I won't give him that satisfaction.

I wonder how he escaped from the prison. And how the heck did he find out about my birthday party avenue and manage to sneak in there and kidnap me?

“Let go of me Darren!" I grimed but he laughed out sarcastically.

“Nah, baby…. You are mine."

“I am not yours and I will never be yours!" I spat on his face. Seeing the dangerous look in Darren's face, I regretted my action that second. His grip on my neck tightened as I felt his finger digging deep into my flesh, hurting me badly. I can feel blood dripping down my neck.

“How dare you spit on me?!" He released his grip on my neck and hit me on my face. The force at which he hit me, made me fall on my right. He forcefully held my neck once again and raised my face to look at him.

“I told you that you are mine and you dare to say that you are not mine?!" His eyes are sprouting fire. The look in his eyes is so deadly. I was trying to hide my fear but I couldn't help. I haven't seen Darren this way? Why is he acting this way? Why is he acting as if he will kill me any minute? Before I used to see a little bit of love behind his lust but now I can only see lust and anger. I'm scared… I'm scared of what Darren is going to do to me.

“You think you have gotten rid of me, right? That you have succeeded in putting me behind bars. You thought wrong sweetheart because you can't easily get rid of me. You are mine, you belong to me alone! You will be mine forever!"

I wanted to shout that I won't be his forever but I saw how furious he was when I said it some minutes ago. The kind of look in his eyes told me that he won't be lenient with me. That is why I should act smart if I want to leave here alive.

I don't even know where he brought me to. Why is all these happening to me? I thought that everything is over, that I will leave happily with my family but it looks like I was wrong. Why did I meet someone like Darren and allow him into my life? He is bound to ruin my life. I will never be happy as long as he's still alive. Putting him in prison didn't help at all.

I felt his touch on my cheeks. I tried to push his hand away but I thought against it. I shouldn't anger him any more. He looks like a devil who won't think twice before strangling me to death. He gently rubbed his fingers on the mark he left on my cheeks.

“I'm sorry sweetheart, I didn't mean to hurt you but you pushed me. I love you so much and I want you to be mine. I have forgiven you for what you did, besides, I'm out of the prison and I won't go back there again. I'm out of there to be with you. You must give me your heart and forget that bastard whom you called husband because I am your husband. We are married and we will forever be married. If you don't want me to hit you again. Do as I say." He kissed my cheek. I felt disgusted but I held myself back. I really want to push him away but I need to control myself. Darren looks like a psychopath and if I do anything stupid, he might end up killing me. Maybe I should talk to him. I really want to know what made Darren this way. What made him become a monster.

“Darren, why are you this way? What happened? Why did you become this way?" I asked in tears. He didn't say anything. He just stood up and brought a white gown from the closet in the room.

“I told you that you are mine and if you don't want to accept it the easy way. You will accept it the hard way. Put on this wedding dress. We are going to remarry. We will say our vows and put on this ring. After our marriage we will leave the country."

“You are sick in the head Darren. I am married and I will never marry you neither will I leave the country with you!"

Oh! God, why did I allow myself to say that? Darren's countenance darkened the more. His blazing eyes glare at me as he draws closer to me. I held my breath. He raised his hand. I closed my eyes, waiting for his strong hand to land on my face but it didn't. I open my eyes and see that he's no longer close to me.

He threw the white dress at me. “Put that on and don't make me repeat myself."

I didn't argue. I pick the dress and gently climb down the bed. His eyes were on me.

“I want to change, can you leave the room for a minute?"

He smirks. “You are my wife. Why won't you dress in front of me?" I clenched my fist in anger but I made sure he wouldn't see it. “Okay fine, I will turn while you put on your dress."

That's better.

He turned and I started undressing myself but then an idea came into my mind. I will never wear a wedding gown and share a vow with this disgusting man. My eyes caught the bedside lamp. I picked it up

“Are you done?" He asked and turned to face me but I quickly hit the lamp on his head. He groaned in pain and crouched, his hand on his broken forehead as blood was oozing out.

I used the opportunity and ran away. I ran out of the room and became confused. There's two parts in the hallway and I don't know which angle to take. I took the right part and started running until I came across a stair. This house looks big but old. I didn't have time to check out the house, the only thing I have in my mind is to find my way out.

I followed the staircase and ran down to an old shabby sitting room. I found a huge door and quickly ran towards it. I found a tingle of happiness in my heart. I didn't know that I would easily escape from Darren. No matter what I will leave here, I must survive. My husband needs me. My family needs me.

Reaching the door. I tried opening it but I realized that it's locked.

Oh no! What do I do now?

I froze as I heard Darren's disgusting laugh behind me.
