prologue
Xavier
Her heart raced as I cornered her in the dimly lit room. It had been months since she had last seen me but my presence still sent shivers down her spine "that's good baby" I cooed "at least you still know who owns you". She tried to muster up the courage to escape, but my grip on her was unyielding.
"Emily, after all these years, you still think you can run from me?" I sneered, my voice dripping with contempt.
"Please..." Emily whimpered, her voice barely audible.
I pressed my body against hers, a wicked smile curling on my lips. "Oh, that sound," I thought to myself as I pressed myself into her backside. "What have I said about that word?"
Tears welled up in Emily's eyes as she stammered out an apology. "I'm so... I'm sorry."
"Shh darling, I don't think you want to know what your tears does to me" I whisper as I backed her into a wall with a smirk on my face. She trembled under my gaze as I trailed kisses along her neck. I watched as the mixture of fear and desire consumed her as she struggled to find the strength to resist me.
"Why do you think I always f****d you without protection?" I growled menacingly. I've always relished in the power I held over Emily and reveled in making her feel small and vulnerable. Her submission was something I craved.
"You bastard," Emily spat through gritted teeth, defiance flickering momentarily within her eyes.
A dark chuckle escaped my lips as I tightened my hold on her waist. "You never learn, darling," I sneered. "You just never learn."
I watched as my words sent a chill down Emily's spine as she realized what was coming next - punishment for being a bad girl who dared to defy me once again. Panic set in as she pleaded with me one last time.
"Xavier, please don't do this! Just let me go!"
I moved closer until our faces were mere inches apart. The intensity of my gaze made her feel like a trapped animal, helpless against my desires.
"Oh, darling," Xavier murmured with a sinister smile. "You know I can't let you go. And now, we are having a baby."
Emily
My heart sank as I processed his words. How could I bring an innocent child into this twisted web? Fear and determination battled within me as I contemplated on how to escape from him.
