HIS WORLD

Chapter 8. He knows

I searched inside my bag for thirty minutes before seeing the ring. I quickly put it on my finger. I rushed back to the dinner table quickly. My birthday cake was brought out with a happy birthday song. I blew the candle. I made a wish that Alex should divorce me.

Everyone started bringing their gifts out. I was smiling but not happy. A sense of unease filled the room. Alex, with a cold and calculated demeanor, called for silence. In a chilling display of power and control, he gestured to his bodyguard, who approached with frank... The room fell into a stunned silence as Frank's finger was cruelly severed, the sharp blade slicing through the air with a sickening sound. Mary's eyes widened in shock and horror as Alex coldly declared it to be her birthday gift, a twisted gesture that left everyone present trembling in fear except Mrs Helen and John, who sat calmly. Tears rolled down from Mary's eyes, Alex's demeanor transformed. A chilling laughter erupted from him, echoing through the room in a dramatic and unsettling manner. His laughter, filled with a mix of power and madness, sent a shiver down my spine. He raised his wine cup and toasted to Mary's sweet eighteen.

After Fiona, my family and Mrs Helen left, I was in my room pacing up and down trembling.

Alex, orchestrated a subtle yet commanding move as he dispatched a maid to summon Mary to his room after the dinner party. The atmosphere was thick with tension as Mary was aware of Alex's power and influence, and felt a wave of apprehension wash over her. The maid's message carried a weight of urgency, hinting at a meeting that Mary knew she could not avoid. As she made her way to Alex's room, a sense of foreboding gripped her, unsure of what awaited her behind the closed door.

Mary entered Alex's room. She was trembling. Alex looked at her. He smiled like nothing happened. He looked at Mary from head to toe. He moved closer to Mary. He wanted to kiss Mary, but Mary turned her face. Alex unzipped Mary's gown while her gown dropped, leaving her with pants and bra. Alex started touching Mary's body while Mary was trembling and shaking. Alex removed Mary's bra, he jacked Mary and lay her on his bed, he unbuttoned his shirt while staring at Mary on the bed. He unzipped his trousers as his trousers dropped, he pulled his boxer, he pulled Mary's pant and widened her legs, he lay in between Mary's legs, he whispered in Mary's ear,” sometimes pain is beautiful and lovely” as he injected his d**k forcefully into Mary as Mary screamed in pain. He wasn’t gentle on Mary, which he knew that it was her first time. Mary couldn’t cope with the pain anymore as she held Alex's waist in pain and tears.” Please, it is OK ” she said, breathing shakily in pain. Alex looked at Mary's tearful eyes. ” I can’t stop” he said, breathing heavily. He held Mary's hand and pinned it down as Mary continued screaming.

After Alex finished having s*x with Mary, he left with John. He told Mrs Sandra to give Mary a painkiller. Mary was left with blood stains on her body, the bed was stained as well. She was crying and folding herself. As the door opened she quietly covered her body, Mrs Sandra entered. She is holding a tray which contains a glass of water and painkiller medicine.

Take this. She said with no motion.

Mary used her hand to push the tray in anger as she shouted. Get out!

Mrs Sandra left without a word. Mary used the remaining energy in her body, she stood up, she picked Alex's white shirt on the floor, she wore it as she held up wall to wall, walking to her room in tears.

Mary got to her, she locked the door, she cried bitterly.

After that day, Alex never stops forcing himself on Mary, which continues to hurt her deeply.

Alex never allowed her to go to school again. She is always at home. If she wants to go out, she will be followed by heavy bodyguards to prevent her from running away. Alex takes control of everything her phone is connected to Alex's phone. There are 24-hour CCTV cameras running intelligently in the house.

After years of silent suffering, Mary decided that enough was enough. She concocted a daring escape plan. It started with her reintegrating a small movement of independence into her daily life. She began attending a local yoga class under the guise of wanting to stay fit. She always attends with Fiona, their friendship is beyond bonds, because Alex never talks if she tells him that she is attending any event with Fiona.

One evening after yoga class, Mary and Fiona decided to steam over a cup of coffee. Mary whispered her plan.” I need to get out of this marriage” but Alex wouldn’t let me go.

That’s risky. Fiona said in fear. Mary, if Alex finds out, he won’t stop until he catches you.

I know, but I can’t live like this anymore. He has taken control of everything. I need freedom. I have to try.

Fiona’s brows furrowed with concern.

After meticulous planning, Mary chooses Alene's night's annual gala party as the perfect opportunity for her to escape, because Alex and his bodyguard will be busy. And everywhere will be full of distractions.

On that eventful night, after she and Alex presented themselves. As the clock struck ten, she slipped away from the party, her heart pounding with both fear and excitement. She dressed in a sleek black dress. She prepared herself mentally for what lay ahead.

Fiona was waiting in the car, and they speed off quickly. As the city light faded behind them, a feeling of freedom washed over Mary, but unknown to her, her friend was her worst energy.
