Living With My Ex-husband

Masked man

"Get down on your knees, you weak filth," a screeching voice shrieked.

I defiantly stood straight and looked coldly into her eyes.

"How dare you?" She hissed enraged.

"Aaron!" she shouted at the top of her voice when I didn't flinch at her display of anger.

"Yes Mom," came a swift reply.

I trembled slightly as my other tormentor responded and came downstairs in a few seconds.

I turned my cold eyes to meet his and his lips curled up into a casual smile and my heart rate quickened in a way that was not humanly possible.

"Oh look who we have here, he sneered whilst stroding towards me ."

I clenched my fists tightly in hopes of giving myself some strength to endure what I was going to face.

"Yes son, teach this little w***e a lesson," the woman told him gleefuly as she sat at a nearby sofa.

I felt a wave of hatred wash over me as he walked towards me.

"It seems like I need to remind you of your place," he whispered before raising his fist and it collided with my face in a swift motion.

I stumbled backwards while blood started dripping from my nose.

But he was not done and he kicked me in the knees and I fell on the ground with a thud.

I didn't bother defending myself as he continued hitting amidst the woman's cheers because I knew it will be futile and I will be overpowered however, I didn't make a sound.

That's the only way I could retaliate, by not giving them a reaction.

But this time it didn't not end with a mere beating because someone handed him an iron rod, a partially heated one.

And he walked towards me with it whilst laughing as horror clouded my eyes.

I crawled backwards but my back collided with the wall soon.

And he slowly strode towards me and stopped in front of me and without hesitation raised his hand.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Ma'am?"

"Ma'am?" A voice rang out beside my ear as the anticipated pain didn't come.

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed once more as I looked around the place.

"Are you ok ma'am? We have landed."

"Yeah , I am fine ."I replied slowly coming to my senses.

I looked around hesitantly while the memories of yesterday flooded my mind.

I boarded the flight amidst Lisa's wailing after I informed her she will be not coming with me.

It took a long while for me and everyone to calm her down and explain to her why I could not take her to remote place where I would be mostly busy working.

Then I got on the three hours flight where I proceeded to fall asleep and simultaneously have a nightmare.

"Do you want some water ma'am? the Air hostess asked in a low voice.

I looked up at her and embarrassingly shook my head.

I can't believe I screamed in the plane among strangers and everyone is looking at me.

Thankfully I am in first class so I have some sort of privacy.

Anyway I quickly gathered my stuff and got of the plane.

I took a deep breath and inhaled the fresh air. I don't know why I am feeling so restless maybe it is the excitement of working on such a major project.

I walked to my assistant who is waiting for me outside the airport and had already arrived days in advance to arrange for my stay.

She opened the door for me and I got in after a brief greeting.

The driver drove towards the mansion I will be staying at with the mysterious owner as I took out my ipad and did some work .

After an hour we arrived and I walked in.

The mansion is luxurious but nothing I haven't seen before .

"Ma'am your room is on the second floor, Pia said while pointing towards a flight of stairs.

I nodded and walked up as she and the driver got my luggage.

I walked inside and looked around the room.

After a while they brought my luggage and I took a change of clothes.

The mysterious owner will arrive tomorrow morning and I need to have a good rest before the intense work starts tomorrow.

I got into the shower and let the water cascade down my body and I sighed at the perfect temperature.

I could feel myself slowly relax as water warmed me up.

After the shower I changed into comfy pajamas and walked out of the bathroom.

I sat at the balcony with my tablet in hand and worked on the design of the first house we will be building in the middle of the woods.

I feel tired even though it just 4 in the evening but I have to keep on working for a little while longer because I want to present my best work to the owner.

I wanted to sleep at around 8 but accidentally fell asleep before it.

Later on I woke up because of the cold breeze and got up from the couch on the balcony and decided to head inside to my bed.

Ahhh!

I let out a small scream when I saw a black figure in a black mask blocking my door.

"What the hell? Who is it ? ." I asked feigning anger.

I got no reply so I walked slowly towards the figure.

"Woah!" I exclaimed when the figure moved it's hands in the dark and I jumped a few steps back.

"What are you doing in my room?" a cold voice asked before I could say anything else.

"This is not your room," I replied confused.

To my shock the figure sprinted towards me and I ran backwards while screaming.

"Who are you?."
