All Chapters of Ruin Me,King Owen: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Arita POV“You are choking me,” I struggled to say, my hand beating at his hand to let go.But instead of releasing me, his grip tightened around my neck even more. His eyes were now very red as he stared at me.I tried to breathe, to stay alive, but none of that was working as life was finally slipping away from my body. My eyes closed slowly, my mind saying my last prayers as I imagined seeing the gate of heaven.Before that thought could come to reality, he let go. His hands left my neck, making me cough out so loud. My hands rubbed my chest as I tried to steady my breath again.A soft growl from him made me look up, and what I saw made me shift back.Before me was King, but this King had long claws bulging out from his fingers. His ears now looked like a wolf compared to how they looked before.He moved closer to me, but I shifted back before his hands could touch me.“Why the hell do you look like that?” I yelled, my hand pointing to his fingers.He looked confused at first, but

Arita POVApplause thundered in the air as everyone anticipated me to step on the stage. The whole of the students had a hopeful look. Some had never met King in person before and this would be an opportunity for them. Tell me how I will climb that stage and break their happiness that he isn’t coming.My legs stood rooted to where I had stood, no movement or attempt to move. The applause had now reduced, slowly turning into a small clap than the loud applause earlier. The students didn’t stop looking, they only stopped clapping.I felt every piercing eye poking into my skin, my heart beating fast for what to do next. Coming to dinner was a completely bad idea. I should have stayed home and found some excuse to give.“Hey, be calm, just go up there and be yourself,” Morgana said, her hands touching mine with care.I nodded, even though I wasn’t sure if I could be myself up there. There were too many eyes, too many stares. No way am I walking up the stage without falling.“Arita, you sh

Arita POVDinner ended with laughter, cheers, congratulations, and dance.Tonight was very remarkable, a memory I will never forget even if I have amnesia.The students all dispersed, leaving the dinner hall. We weren’t any different. We all walked out. Midway through our walk to the car, Morgana stopped, saying her driver was coming to pick her up. My hand interlocked with King’s, my heels clicking against the floor as we made it to the car, but before I slid into the car, I turned.“Good night, Morgana,” I waved at her, my back leaning beside the black SUV King had brought.Her hands swung in the air as she responded, a soft smile showing her dentition.King sat at the back of the SUV while I sat beside him. His guards’ car moved at the front first, making us second, and another guards’ car stayed at the back.I looked at King beside me in the car. His eyes were fully focused on the phone, his fingers typing really fast.Might be business or work.I decided not to bother him. My eye

Arita POVI thought coming here to ask questions would be easy, but it wasn’t. I had forgotten who I had gotten married to.King, the popular music idol, was no man you could just request to see at your pick and call.I was stopped at the gate from coming in as I didn’t have any booked appointment with him.Fuck the celebrity lifestyle.I needed a way to get him to answer those questions.There was no freaking way I was dreaming. It felt real.I stood under the sun for about an hour as I had refused to stay in the car.Lucky for me, Chris, the manager, came down to pick something up from his car. He moved closer when he sighted me from afar.“Arita, you came to the studio?” Chris asked surprisingly.Well, I would be as surprised as him if I was the one because I had never thought of coming to this studio since I got married.Being here kind of looked strange and desperate.“Uhnnn, yes. I came to see King,” I explained as short as I could because I was already running impatiently.“Let

Arita’s POVMy legs ran as fast as they could. For a moment, I couldn’t feel my feet on the floor. It was as if I was moving in thin air.I only stopped when I got into Mom’s apartment. My breathing was heavy, and I tried as much as possible to keep it steady before going into her room, but I couldn’t. The fear of the unknown was there. Fear of who I had become.The nurse was checking Mom’s vitals when I walked in. I tried to stay calm, but where is that saying that you can’t hide things from mothers, for they always know?Immediately she sighted me, she knew something was wrong. Stylishly, she dismissed the nurse.“You can have the day off. Since Arita is here, she will keep my company,” Mom said to the nurse.God knows that was all I needed at that time. Some alone time with my mom to air all that was bothering my heart.Immediately the nurse left, Mom signaled me to come closer.“Is everything alright, child? You look so disturbed and bothered,” she asked so tenderly with so much c
