Amira stood still, her heart pounding in her chest. Her mouth hung open, caught in a moment of silence, unsure of how to respond. Her eyes filled with tears as she realized the one person she had been trying to escape was already at her destination. Andrea stood tall, a bittersweet smile playing on his lips.
“Do you really believe I won’t recognize my love?” He carried on, then fell into a quiet laughter that only deepened her tears, though no sound escaped her lips. Amira felt that this effort was in vain. And she couldn’t fathom what he would do to her.
He reached out to her, hoping she would take his hand, but Amira, ever stubborn and sensitive, turned away from his gesture, and in that moment, her escape began. She fled from them with every ounce of strength she had, her yearning for freedom consuming her from within.
Andrea’s pupil dilated the moment he saw her fleeing, and without a word, his men took off after her. Andrea watched her run with a mix of desperation and joy, a smile creeping onto his face. He cherished the way his new wife challenged him, knowing this would only deepen his resolve to make her understand that she belonged to him.
“Just go away!” Amira cried out in despair, darting into the streets where she saw people moving about, engrossed in their everyday routines.
“Please, I need help!”
“Someone is chasing me!” She screamed with all her might, desperate for someone to come to her aid, but they merely stood still, watching her flee as men pursued her, uncertain if it was a performance or a genuine plea for help, paralyzed by their own indecision.
As soon as they caught sight of the men’s attire and demeanor, a quiet understanding settled in. They realized these were not the kind of individuals to cross, so they continued on their way, keeping to themselves.
Amira ran, exhaustion weighing heavily on her, yet a flicker of hope ignited within her as she spotted the police.
“Please, I need help. Some men are trying to kidnap me. Please don’t let them take me. You are my last hope,” Amira said, trembling and in tears.
The policemen exchanged worried glances before turning their attention to Amira, sensing the weight of the trouble she was in.
“What is your name, where do you come from, and who are those men pursuing you?” one of them inquired.
“My husband and his men are abusive. He forced me into this marriage. Please, I need help.” She cried out, tears streaming down her face, a raw display of her desperation.
The officers were eager to assist, gently probing for more information, when suddenly a car came to a stop beside them, and the driver stepped out, opening the door.
“Sergio…” Andrea called, her smile chilling and foreboding, and Sergio, one of the policemen, approached him, offering a small, respectful bow that shattered Amira in that instant. She felt her heart shatter, watching the final flicker of hope slip away from her grasp.
“Ahh, the great master Martini, what brings you out here at this hour?” Sergio smiled, but Amira remained frozen, her expression one of disbelief.
“I came to find my wife. She insisted on playing hide and seek, and I’m grateful you helped me locate her.” Andrea replied, his gaze heavy as it fell on Amira, and the policemen quickly grasped that he was speaking about her.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Martini. I had no idea she was your wife. She confided in me about the abuse she was facing.”
“Look at her, Sergio. Does she seem like someone who's being hurt? She’s a bit of a rebel, but it’s okay; she’ll be coming home with me.” Andrea responded, pulling Amira close, enveloping her tiny frame in his embrace.
Without waiting for a response from them, Andrea guided her to the car and pulled her in gently, disregarding the expressions on her face. Amira was shattered; she had never felt such disbelief in her life. She couldn't understand how Andrea managed to instill fear in everyone around him.
“What should I do? He won’t take it easy on me; he is going to hurt me,” Amira whispered softly, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill.
She kept the victory from Eric, using it as fuel to push herself harder to escape his grasp, even though he held significant power over her.
The ride was enveloped in silence, with not a single word exchanged between them. Andrea felt exhausted from his journey, determined not to let anything spoil his day, even as his wife attempted to escape. And that sparked his desire to hold onto her tightly, never wanting her to slip away from his gaze.
When they arrived at the mansion, the car came to a stop next to the imposing entrance. As the maids emerged, particularly Amira's, a deep fear etched itself onto her face the moment she spotted Andrea clinging to Amira as they stepped out of the car.
At this moment, she realized the depth of her predicament. Amira had persuaded her to flee, but the plan had unraveled, leaving her vulnerable and exposed to the consequences.
“Please leave me alone,” Amira pleaded, her voice trembling as she fought to free her hands from his grip. Instead of relenting, Andrea's frustration bubbled to the surface, shattering his calm facade.
“As long as I draw breath, I will always belong to you.”
"You are my wife, my soul, my body, and no matter where you go, I will always find you, even if it means diving into the depths of the ocean," Andrea declared. Before Amira could respond, he lifted her effortlessly, placing her on his shoulders, her face turned towards the ground.
“Please let me down, I can walk on my own,” Amira mumbled, striking his shoulders, though her efforts were in vain. Her gaze met the unexpected, Kira's eyes filled with fear as she played a part in her escape. She understood the depths of Andrea's ruthlessness toward anyone who dared to disrespect or provoke him.
With every ounce of strength, Amira fought against the overwhelming tide, her heart heavy with the silent wish for a way out of this chaos. But how could that even be possible? Why is Andrea so fixated on her without any clear reason?
Soon he brought her to his room and gently placed her on the bed.
“Please, just let me go! I am not here to serve you.” Amira let out a cry, her heart racing uncontrollably.
“After everything you've done? Do you really believe I could just let you slip away so easily?.You will face the consequences for this, my dear wife." Andrea smirked, a glint of mischief in her eyes. Without a word, Amira leaped from the bed, desperate to escape, but Andrea was quicker than she anticipated.
He pinned her on the bed, pulling a handcuff from his pocket, leaving Amira to wonder why he had it in the first place.
“I beg you, don’t do this. Just let me go!” Amira felt a surge of panic, fighting desperately, yet her efforts seemed to reach Andrea in vain.
He took her hands gently, securing them to the bed. Amira's eyes grew wide with disbelief, her body slick with sweat. What did he intend to do with her?
Her mind was a whirlwind of questions, but everything fell silent when she saw him, removing his belt. As he slowly unbuttoned his shirt.
“What are you up to? What is happening?!!” Amira cried out, struggling to free herself from the ties that bound her.
“I regret that it had to end like this, my love. All I ever wanted was for us to share the moments that couples cherish.” Andrea responded with a sinister smile.
Amira shivered, a wave of unease washing over her. That was one of her deepest fears and something she despised. He observed Andrea as she hurriedly put on his shirt.the closest couch, exposing his bare upper body.
Amira pushed aside the embarrassment that came with the view, her adrenaline surging within her. Her virginity belonged to her alone, not to be taken by any man she doesn't love without her agreement.
“I promise, I won't do that again. I won't just disappear like that.”
“I beg you, don’t go through with this.”
Andrea, cold and unyielding, turned a deaf ear to her pleas, choosing instead to rip away the dress she wore, disregarding her desperate cries.
He pressed soft kisses against her fair porcelain skin, sulking and licking her neck, coaxing out unwanted moans from her, yet she remained distant, unwilling to embrace his affection.
“Please Andrea, I’m begging you, find another way to punish me, anything but this.” Amira let out a cry, realizing that her innocence was on the verge of being taken away.
“Amira, you belong to me; all that you are is a part of me. Our souls, intertwined. Your body, my body.” He whispered softly, his warm breath brushing against her face.
Amira felt a deep ache as she witnessed this, her struggles leaving bruises from the handcuffs. She couldn't stand to see Andrea playing with her body, a mix of pain and longing swirling within her.
Before long, her eyelids grew heavy, and then came the darkness.
….
The next morning, Amira woke up, her exhaustion evident, her hair a tangled mess.Yet, something drew her gaze. She found herself no longer in his vast room; instead, she was back in her own, wearing a different outfit.
The next sensation that greeted her was a piercing pain between her legs, a jolt that stirred memories of past nights, and she found herself overwhelmed with tears.
“He stole my innocence, he violated me!” Amira sobbed softly, her heart breaking, as something she had treasured for a loved one was cruelly ripped from her grasp. Then, out of nowhere, she sensed a strong presence in the room, catching her attention from the corner of her eye.
