I woke in the morning sore and bruised. How could he have done this to me? How could he have taken my virginity like that? He reaped me over and over again, he wanted to prove I was someone I was not, a w***e. I hate him. I officially hate Elijah f*****g Rivera. How dare he do this to me! I screamed inside my head. I pulled myself up out of bed. I needed a shower to get last night's horrific events washed away from me. I slowly made my way to the bathroom, collecting my clothes and towels, making my way inside, making sure I locked the door so no uninvited guests came in. I turned the shower on and waited for it to heat up before I slipped in under the spray of hot and relaxing water as all the dirt and grime washed away from last night's events. I just can't think why a man like that is so cruel. He's had many women. Was he like that with them too? Or was it just me and he had a point to make? I really didn't want to know nor did I want to stop around to find out.
I slipped out of the shower, turned it off, I dried myself, slipped into some new and clean clothes, slipped into my shoes.
I stepped out of the bathroom. I wasn't aware he was in the room. He wasn't there when I left to take a shower. He slipped his arms around me. "Good morning Alaina." He said, kissing my neck. "You smell good. If I knew you were going to shower I would've joined you." He remarked.
Had he forgotten what happened last night?
He leaned to my ear talking into it. "If you keep being a good girl, I'll give you something you'll enjoy." He said, kissing me. "But, if you continue to be a bad girl, it will be a repeat of last night." He said, kissing my neck again.
He obviously hadn't. I wished not to be reminded of it,but he just had to bring it up.
"Now come down stairs for breakfast or I'll devour you right here right now."
"I'm not hungry."
"And it's not a request, Alaina."
"Fine, just give me five."
He smiled, kissing my neck. "Five minutes Alaina, or you'll know what happens if your a bad girl." He took his arm from around me and smacked my ass. "Five minutes Alaina."
I nodded as he left the room, closing the door behind him. Tears fell off my face. How the hell was I going to get out of this hell that he made me choose?
I quickly wiped my eyes, took a deep breath and headed out of the room. Jasper smiled at me. I gave him a quick tight smile. "Alaina honey what's the matter?"
I shook my head and the tears began to flow. He pulled me into a hug. I flinched. "What the hell has that monster done to you?'"
I said nothing, continuing to cry.
"Shh my Angel, everything is going to be okay."
"I should've been here with you."
"No you shouldn't."
"Why not honey?"
"He thinks you are after me."
He chuckled. "Though I'm very flattered. You're not my type honey. I'm not straight, I'm 100% gay honey."
"I know. I tried to tell him."
"I know you did honey, everyone heard you."
"I'm so sorry Jasper. I was just so damn mad at him."
"It's okay honey, you did what you had to do."
"I have to go Jasper. He's expecting me if I'm not there in five minutes, I would rather not think about what he'll do."
He moved away, taking his arms from around me. "What happened last night honey?"
"I'd rather not talk about it."
"I understand."
"I have to go, Jasper."
"I can help you. All you have to do is say."
"I can't."
"Do you trust me?"
Did I? I nodded. "I do."
"Then let me help you."
"I need to see this through Jasper, my life is already ruined. It might as well be over too.'
"I'm here if you ever decide otherwise."
"Thanks Jasper."
He nodded. "Now get going honey before he sends out a search party for you."
I smiled and walked away. I walked through the dining area. Elijah looked up and called me over. I gave a short curt smile before walking over.I sat next to him. "I've already ordered breakfast. You have a glass of juice and a strong coffee the way you like it."
"Thanks."
He leaned over to my ear. "You were almost late, Alaina. A minute more, I will come to find you and punish you, and you wouldn't like that, trust me."
I swallowed hard. After last night, I wouldn't like anything he did. I didn't want him touching me ever again.
The full English breakfast went down as Jasper entered the restaurant. Order his breakfast. Elijah called him over to join us for breakfast. He agreed to join us. I sat silent as they talked about business.
After breakfast, we went back to our room and packed for the long journey home. When we entered the home, we shared. That was when I swore that I would try to be the best wife he could ever be with and to be what he wanted me to be, to live a happy and peaceful life.
In the back of my mind I know
"You're no better than me Elijah we are both equals."
"You'll never be my equal, it will pay you to remember that. I'm inferior to you always. You will obey me as my wife and as my P.A. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
I scowled at him. How dare he compare me to a low class slut. How dare he tell me that I am not his equal or did he not understand the terms of a partnership, especially a marriage? How dare he say he is more inferior than me! I understand we both come from very different backgrounds, but that no f*****g excuse to treat me like trash.
He glared angrily at me and I was not backing down, I was determined not to back down. He grabbed my chin and yanked my head so I stared him straight into his eyes. His stare angry and cold. "Do you understand?"
"f**k YOU!"
He squeezed tighter. "How dare you disrespect me. I'm your husband."
"And I'm your wife, we are both as equal as one another."
The blood oozed out of my face as he dug his nails in further. "You are nothing to me Alaina you will never be my equal so shall we try that again shall we?"
I nodded. I was going to pass out any minute from the pressure on my face. He glared daggers into my eyes. "I'm you're inferior to you do you understand."
I nodded.
"Do you understand Alaina?'
"Yes."
"Good." He said, and let go of my face.
I dropped to the floor.
"Don't ever talk back, share your opinions or ever disrespect me again cause you will be punished severely, and I don't mean like I did on our wedding day , this will be worse. I promise you that."
His foot connected with my gut and to my face before. He walked away and everything around me went black. I knew I'd pissed him off to the brink.
I can't believe this all started with an argument in his office about me wanting to do more for the company. I wanted to do more, learn more, but he was having none of it and when I tried to help out during his meeting he scowled at me and cut his eyes like I didn't know what I was talking about, though his investors were impressed he clearly wasn't and told me I had no right in interfering in his business so, again why the f**k was I there, and why the f**k am I his f*****g P.A? If I wasn't aloud to give my input.
I HATE HIM!
I hate Elijah f*****g Rivera.
I was in no rush to get home that night. Suddenly the door creaked open. I didn't want to see any one more so I didn't want anyone to see me like this.
"Oh my god darling what the hell happened?"
I knew who it was, my ticket to freedom out of this sham marriage. My saviour, Jasper, if I let him.
He picked me up in his armm. "Please don't tell me he done this to you Angel."
I looked at him before all around me went black.
