the abused wife of the Mafia King

Chapter 26

Lana POV:

I opened my door, thinking that it was Nicolas here for the swimming lesson, but to my surprise, it was Jake.

He looked a lot different from before, he had scars on his face, and his face had bruises. “Jake”, I said, but before I could ask him what he was doing outside my door, he pushed me inside and locked the door behind him. Seeing me shocked and helpless, he laughed and said, “Hehe, where is your knight in shining armor”. He walked closer to me and bent down on his knees, pulling my hair forcefully.

“You f*****g b***h, you ordered someone to kidnap me and beat me up, now I will show you what a true beating feels like”, he said before I could react, his hand landed on my face, causing me to fall back on the floor, unable to process what just happened.

“I will f**k you so hard today, that you scream for mercy”, he said as he pulled me by my hair into the bedroom.

“Jake, please, I did not order anyone to hurt you”, I cried as I tried to wiggle my way out of his hold, but his hold on my hair tightened, and before I could fight him, he pulled me up from my hair, and threw me against the wall. Making me yawn in pain.

He walked closer and pulled me up again, this time he held me by my neck, blocking my airway. I tried to hold his hand and push him away, but he was too strong and too angry, I was losing air, when he started using his free hand to sand hard slaps across my face. His slaps slit my lips, making my mouth to bleed. My eyes were turning red from the hard slaps. I was almost out of air when he finally let go of my neck, making me fall on my knees and choke for air.

“Why do you hate me so much?”, I asked him, as I tried to take a deep breath.

“What did you say? All I wanted was to f**k you, but you and your attitude were over the moon, looking down at me, ignoring me at school”, he said as he walked closer again, and send a hard kick on my stomach, making me cough blood. I tried to look around for anything to help me, but I couldn’t see anything, the only thing I could see was my phone on the floor next to his foot.

I looked up to see Jake when he came running at me, with his fist, I curled my head in protection, and then came his punches on my head.

He continued sending multiple punches on my head, causing me to black out.

Just as I was about to pass out, he took a bottle of water and splashed it on my face, making me wake up.

Jake left the room and went into the bathroom to fill up the bathtub, when I saw that as a chance, seeing he was too busy in the bathroom, I crawled to my phone and quickly called Nicolas.

“Nicolas, please help me”, is all I said as soon as he picked up.

“Lana, what happened are you okay?”, he asked, but before I could say anything, Jake appeared behind me and pulled my hair, causing me to scream in pain.

“Hold on baby girl, I’m coming”, Nicolas said before Jake dragged me to the bathroom.

He dragged me by my hair and pulled me up roughly and put my head inside the bathtub which was filled with water.

I struggled, choking on the water, my lungs filled up, the air was running out, and just as I thought that this was my last moment.

He pulled me out and looked at me. “You think, I will let you die that easily?”, he smirked before he started removing my clothes,

“Jake, Pl… Please, you….. don’t…. hav”, I couldn’t get any words out when Jake grabbed me by the neck and threw me into the mirror. Hitting my head into the mirror, making the mirror shatter in pieces.

That is when I gave up on being saved.

I slid down and fell on my face. My mouth, nose and head were bleeding, before I could close my eyes, I heard Nicolas, “Get away from her”, he screamed.

I could only see the side of his face, he came in rushing, kicking Jake far away from me. He pulled me in his arms and wrapped his hands around me. “I am here, please keep your eyes open for me”, he begged me, but I couldn’t, I had no strength. Just as I was looking at him, I saw Jake snuck up on Nicolas with a piece of glass in his hand. I tried to lift my hand to alert him. But Nicolas already knew somehow, and moving me gently, he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a gun, and right in front of my eyes, he pulled the trigger. I gasped at the sight, but Nicolas gently covered my eyes.

That was the last thing I remembered before I let the darkness take me.

2 days later…..

I woke up in the same hotel room, where Jake was beating me up. I got out of bed, and walked into the bathroom, only to find Jake standing by the mirror, as he had a piece of glass in his hand.

“Ah, your awake, I was waiting for you”, he said as he came closer to me, the fear of what happened to me came rushing back in. I started taking steps back, my eyes filled with tears, I started pleading with him, “Jake, please don’t hurt me”, I cried, but he didn’t listen to me once again. He ran to me with the piece of glass, trying to stab me when I woke up screaming in Nicolas’s arms.

“Heyy, shush, you are safe with me”, he whispered in my ears, trying to calm me. I looked around in panic, only to find exhausted Nicolas and worried Long in a hospital room. Once I realized I was safe, I put my head in Nicolas’s chest and sobbed he held me tightly, caressing my body to calm me, but I was just heartbroken at my statue. After hours of crying in his arms, I had fallen asleep once again.
