1238 Words
I am trapped so close to him that I can barely breathe. Both of his hands are pressed against the wall on either side of me, like a cage I cannot escape from. My heart is pounding so fast that it feels as if my breath might stop at any moment.
In a trembling voice I whisper, “P-please… sir… move away…”
My voice is so weak it almost fades into the air, but his gaze does not shift at all. He keeps staring at me without blinking.
Slowly… very slowly… he removes one hand from the wall. For a moment I think he might step back. But the very next second his fingers settle on my bare shoulder.
The moment the cold touch of his fingers brushes against my skin, my entire body shudders.
My eyes instantly fill with tears. With a shaking voice I whisper again, “Don’t touch…”
The words barely leave my lips. But as soon as I say it, his expression changes in an instant. Suddenly he grabs my jaw in a sharp motion.
His fingers grip my jaw so tightly that it hurts. He forces my face upward so I have no choice but to look into his eyes.
His eyes are burning. Grinding his teeth, he says in a low voice, “How does it feel now…?”
My breathing becomes uneven. He leans even closer, staring straight into my eyes, and says coldly, “My brother’s beloved lover.”
The moment those words reach my ears, tears burst from my eyes. It feels as if something inside me completely shatters.
He keeps watching the tears streaming down my face. Then a strange, cold smile slowly appears on his lips.
Softly he says, “This pain… this suffering… these tears…”
His voice grows deeper. “Seeing them, I cannot even explain how much peace they give me.”
Suddenly, a strange fire ignites inside me. The anger buried beneath my fear explodes. With all the strength I have left, I shove him away.
He steps back slightly. My breathing is fast, my eyes are full of tears, but now along with fear there is anger burning inside them.
I shout loudly, “Who do you think you are?!”
My voice echoes across the room, “You think you can play with me whenever you want?!”
My tears keep falling, but I cannot stop speaking, “Am I some kind of toy?!”
Alexander stands there silently, staring at me. His eyes are slowly growing darker. But in that moment I no longer care about my life.
There is only one thing in my heart anger, Through my tears I say, “Your brother’s death… it’s just a drama!”
For a moment the room falls completely silent. Alexander’s face becomes like stone. But I do not stop.
“Your real motive is something else!” My voice trembles but the words keep coming.
“You’re just completing your list!” My finger lifts toward him.
“What you couldn’t get from your wife…” My voice cracks even more, “You were taking it from me!”
Alexander’s jaw tightens. His fingers slowly curl into fists as if he is trying to control his anger.
But I cannot stop anymore, “You and your wife aren’t even close… that’s why you used me to satisfy your lust!”
Now my voice is completely broken. I stand there crying, my breathing uneven and fast.
He simply keeps staring at me. His eyes are burning eyes that could frighten anyone.
Suddenly it hits me what I have just said. My breath stops for a moment. My anger slowly turns back into fear.
Looking into his blazing eyes, I become completely still.
I cannot even understand how… or where I found the courage to say all of that in my anger.
As soon as I finish speaking, a heavy silence spreads through the room. I am still breathing fast, tears refusing to stop from my eyes, but the moment I look at Alexander’s face, a chill runs through my soul.
His eyes are burning as if they are filled with fire. Slowly he clenches his teeth, his jawline tightening so much that the veins in his neck become visible. Grinding his teeth, he says in a cold and dangerous voice, “What did you just say?”
The tone of his voice makes the ground feel as if it has slipped beneath my feet. He takes a step closer and suddenly grabs my arm, his fingers gripping my wrist so tightly that pain shoots through it and a small cry escapes my lips.
Pulling me close to him, he says through clenched teeth, “I satisfied my lust… because I can’t get that pleasure from my wife?”
His eyes remain fixed on my face as my breathing falters. His grip tightens even more and he continues in a heavy voice, “How close I get to my wife… or how much I don’t… is none of your concern.”
I shut my eyes in pain as his fingers press harder into my arm, but then he lets out a cold laugh and leans closer, his breath brushing against my face as he whispers, “But since you’ve said everything… now suffer the punishment for it.”
My heart skips a beat, and before I can even understand what he means, he drags me out of the room by my arm. I stumble behind him, almost being pulled along as I cry, “Please… leave me… please let go,”
But he doesn’t listen at all. His steps grow faster as he pulls me through the large marble hall glowing under the chandeliers, and before I realize what is happening, the cold night air hits my face.
The next moment I freeze when I see where we are the pool. The large swimming pool shines under blue lights, and my heart starts pounding violently as I instantly understand what he is about to do.
I try to step back in fear, my voice shaking as I say, “No…!”
Alexander looks at me with a cunning smile spreading across his lips as he drags me right to the edge of the pool. My breathing becomes frantic and I scream, “No! Please! I can’t swim!”
Tears stream down my face, but there is not a trace of mercy on his face only that dangerous smile. Calmly he says, “Then learn today.”
My heart stops for a moment, and before I can say anything else, he suddenly pushes me hard. Everything happens in a second my body loses balance, my feet slip from the edge, and the next moment SPLASH!!!!
I fall straight into the icy water of the pool. The freezing shock runs through my entire body, the air rushing out of my lungs. I can’t swim, and my body begins sinking into the water.
I panic, wildly moving my arms and legs as my breathing breaks apart, water rushing into my mouth and nose. It feels like I’m drowning, the fear growing so intense that everything before my eyes starts to blur.
In terror, I squeeze my eyes tightly shut, and in that moment only one thought echoes in my mind maybe… today I will die here.
TO BE COUNTINUE...!!!
Will I Die ?
