Chapter 31: I promised her protection.

Ava slept off on Jacob’s bed and didn’t know how she got to her room. She woke up for the second time and rolled over on the bed. The swell on her cheeks has reduced. She could barely feel any pain in them but it didn’t change the fact that she has two missing teeth in her mouth.Facing the ceiling and staring blankly at it, she pondered about what Jacob had told her the evening before. Did he mean it? He’d told her he would let her go. She didn’t hear that wrong, did she?She threw her legs on the floor, still in her pajamas, she left her room, in search of her master. She stopped by his study door and hesitated before knocking on it. No response came and she raised her hand to knock again when the door opened Just for her to meet Gary towering over her.“ Jacob is busy.” He told her flat off and Ava tried to look behind him for Jacob.“ Leave.” He told her off and Ava glanced at him in displeasure. Why is he so rude?She cursed and in her mind turned to leave. Instead of returning b

It tastes good and strong. It was exactly what he needed. She gulped the remaining content in the glass and politely placed it on the desk, a polite smile on her face when her eyes landed on the shotgun. She quickly pulled her hand back, her heart quickening in her chest.Why does he have a gun on the desk? Is he planning to kill her? As she battled with her thoughts, Jacob reached for the gun, making her flinch back in fright.This is it. He is going to kill her. He is going to kill her for attempting to run away.He stood up from the chair, picking up the gun and her heartbeat tripled. Her chest rose and fell and he could hear her heavy breath and the thumping of her heart.Look at her, so innocent and scared like a mouse. She is exactly what he needed.His lips curled in a sinister smile. He never realizes he enjoys the look of fright on her until this day. He stopped before her, leaving her no space to breathe as he covered the only space between them.Ava’s skin burnt under his

Chapter 33: Shooting range

Ava sat in the garden, staring at the rising sun as she hugged her knees to herself, her head resting on a vase, a blanket covering her barely. She couldn't sleep on her bed the previous night. Somehow, she ended up spending the night in the garden and thinking about Jacob's plan for her.She'd sobbed, wept, and screamed into her palms but still, nothing made sense, and that included Jacob sending her on a suicide mission.“ You have my protection.” That was what he said. Does he really think that would comfort her and make her accept such a stupid decision?She wiped another tear from her swollen heavy eyes. She gazed at the sunrise and let her eyes close slowly. With the plans Jacob harbors for her, she is not sure she will see another sunrise again.Jacob watched from the side, standing behind a pillar. He'd been standing there watching her all night at intervals. He told the guards to let her be and as it seemed, from the way her head slouched forward, she had fallen asleep.He s

Ava’s eyes widened. She gulped slowly and quickly retracted her fist which was now stained with blood.“ I am sorry,” She panicked as Jacob wiped the blood off his nose with the back of his hand. He stared at the blood, his eyes cold and distant. He doesn’t remember the last time he saw his own blood.He raised his head up and gave her a look that sent shivers down her spine. She looked at him with trembling lips, her eyes telling him how she didn’t mean it and how sorry she was but he grabbed her by the neck instead and pulled her towards him before crashing his lips against hers. He kissed her hard, making sure she could taste the blood in his mouth. He kissed her until she was out of breath before letting go of his grip on her neck. Ava staggered back, gasping for air, her palm placed on her chest, a metallic taste lingering on her tongue. Her eyes were moistened. She raised her head up and saw him wiping the corner of his lips so gracefully. She gulped and looked away from his in
