NEVER LET ME GO

Chapter 4

This was the first time I saw Arthur's skill in lying. He lied with ease for his own benefit. It was obvious that he wanted to show his concern for me in front of my parents, or he wanted to show his protection. Or perhaps both.

In this way, he easily killed two birds with one stone. So I decided to make myself look like a naive fool who doesn’t see or understand anything.

We all walked into the family mansion together, and my brother met us at the entrance. Robert looked at me and smiled.

"Hey, what a twist! Have you really decided to burn your grandma's clothes?"

"Hi! Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment!" I replied and smiled back at my brother.

Hello, Robert! I gave her that dress." Arthur said. "God, he's such a jerk! How come I never noticed him poking his nose into absolutely everything and everywhere." I thought as we walked into the large dining room.

The table had already been served by our servants. During dinner, father bragged to his future son-in-law about his successes in life. Mother giggled as if the most important guest was sitting at the table. Only Robert ate calmly and Arthur's presence clearly strained and irritated him.

Robert was 23 years old, he was only 2 years younger than me. But despite the fact that he was younger, he always defended his personal boundaries and thoughts. So after dinner, he calmly went out onto the terrace to have a smoke while our parents chatted with Arthur.

Since I was bored and disgusted by Arthur's physionomy, I also went out onto the terrace to breathe some fresh air.

I approached Robert and suddenly my brother asked me:

"Do you really want to marry this guy? Or do you just want to escape from our family this way?"

From the shock, a lump formed in my throat and it became difficult for me to speak. Apparently, Robert was still worried about me and wanted to talk sincerely.

"Of course, we've been together for a long time and will soon get married..." I said.

"I know all this very well. But do you really want this? Honestly, I don't have any sympathy for your fiancé, so I ask you to think very carefully if you really need this marriage..." Robert told me.

"Everything will be fine! Please don't worry." I replied and hugged my little brother.

Despite the fact that he was younger than me, my brother's head worked much better than mine. He saw the rotten soul of Arthur at once.

"If you ever need my help, tell me! You're my sister, and I'll always help you." The guy said after he finished his cigarette and kissed me on the forehead.

It was something unusual. I felt warmth, affection and care from the person from whom I had never expected it.

Robert didn't act like a guy who recently graduated from college, or like a spoiled brother. He was the kind of man Arthur still had a long way to go to become.

When our parents, accompanied by Arthur, came out onto our terrace and saw Robert and me hugging, Mom couldn’t believe her eyes.

"Wow, is that really our kids hugging? Honey, do you see it too, or do I have hallucination?" My mom asked.

"I don't even know whether to be happy or to keep my ears open for what these two can do..." Dad said, looking at us.

We all had a good laugh and it was time to go home. Arthur and I got into his famous black McLaren and drove away.

Arthur turned on the music and, to the famous Joe Cocker song "Unbreak my heart", decided to stuff his nuts in me.

Arthur began to sing along with old Joe in his usual idiotic way and put his hand on my knee, gradually lifting it higher.

Luckily for me, Artut was a fast driver and twenty minutes later his car arrived to my apartment building.

My worthless fiancé started to approach me with his kisses in the hope of an erotic continuation of the evening.

"Sorry, but I have to go..." I said. "Then let's go up to you together!" Arthur suggested, trying to get under my dress.

"Arthur, we're not going to my place!" I blurted out in disgust.

"Why not?!" Arthur objected sharply, looking at me in bewilderment.

It dawned on me that my disgust was noticeable to him too. Suddenly Arthur's mobile phone rang and he immediately rejected a call.

I assumed it was Alice, because he immediately became embarrassed.

"Why didn't you answer the call?" I asked to get his attention.

"It's from work, nothing important." The man blurted out sharply.

"If they're calling you at such a time, it means it is really important. Answer the call, I won't disturb you." I answered and looked more closely at his reaction.

"Vanessa, when you're next to me, there's nothing more important than you." Arthur said and started to put his hand under my dress.

"Arthur, please stop!" I raised my voice.

"What's the matter?" Arthur shouted, losing his composure.

"I can't today..." I answered more quietly.

"What's wrong?" Arthur asked. "I'm on my period." I lied.

"Hmm... I see..." Arthur said nervously. "Maybe you could at least give me a blowjob?"

"Arthur, I'm sorry, but I don't feel well. And I really want to sleep, so let's do this next time, when we officially become husband and wife." I replied.

"Okay, but next time you won't get away from me!" The guy said and kissed me.

I smiled sweetly, but inside I wanted to barf from the realization that he had kissed Alice before. I felt disgusted. vile and repulsive. "How can you be so two-faced?! And you even wanted me to give him a blowjob after Alice. You can do without it!" I thought and got out of his car.

This i***t in the car looked at me with lust for the first time in so many years. I was wondering how many girls he had f****d in the 8 years he had been dating me.

I went up to my house and brushed my teeth, wanting to clean the remnants of his saliva from my mouth. I used to love kissing, but now I felt only disgust.

I needed to think it over carefully because I would soon have to escape. I needed to understand how and what to do better to cause myself less problems. The only thing I understood today made me happy. Robert cares about me and he will be able to help me.

I changed my wardrobe. I changed my attitude to life and my way of thinking. All that remains is to change my life.

It was about 11pm and I decided to check on Alice and called her. She rejected my phone call and sent a message: "Honey, sorry, I'm with a guy. Let's call tomorrow. Love you!"

After all, Arthur went to Alice after me to empty his eggs. I was very upset that they considered me as a fool and thought that I would never find out anything.

I took a shower and went to bed. In the morning I woke up with the realization that my wedding was getting closer every day. However, this did not make me happy. I made myself a coffee and went out onto the small balcony.

I had a lot of thoughts in my head. One of them was about the first place I would run away to right after the wedding. It was the island of Santorini.

Santorini is a Greek island in the southern Aegean Sea and the place where we planned to go with Artur for our honeymoon. But, this time I would go there alone...
