Chapter 7 6

Author's Pov

Laying on a cold floor with chain restraining her left arm brought more tears out of her already swollen eyes, she didn't even try to tug at the razor knowing very well that if she moved even a bit from her spot the sharp edges will pierce through her skin. All she could was cradle her bandaged stomach and stare at nothing.

The moment she opened her eyes she found herself prisoned in a small room resembling a abandoned basement, her wounded stomach was indeed treated but whoever band-aid her didn't even care to change her ripped clothes, the shirt she was wearing was shredded from her stomach so her injury could be on display.

She still felt a burning pain all over her body, her usually warm skin was a proof of her suffering from a fever but her terrible condition pointed out the brutality of the man who once was her angel. She didn't want to raise any delusional in her mind anymore, he had changed, he had turned a monster and there was no one to be blamed but her and her father!

Her body flinched as her tired bloodshot eyes followed the heavy steps the man took to reach her curled up figure, she didn't dare to look at him, she was scared, petrified and dumbfounded after he without any hesitation stabbed her. The man who used to be sick worried about tiny scratch on her had left a deep wound on her, the injury will soon leave a unforgettable scar.

"Enjoying your stay," His familiar voice with an addition of huskiness entered her ears making her clutch her skirt with her other hand.

"Look up!" She flinched at his low growl which was anything but a request, she shut her eyes in fear when he roughly grabbed her jaw yanking her face up.

She squeezed out more tears letting her hitched breathing accelerated, his finger tips dug deeper in her flesh as he leaned his face closer to hers, his calm warm breath attacked her quivering lips before his thumb decided to trail up coming in contact with those dry lips. Her whole body jolted at the sudden contact and not wanting him to do anything unspeakable she snapped her eyes open finally submitting to his command.

Ace's poker face met her sight letting her reminiscing how keeping this same he had pushed that sharp dagger in her flawless flesh tainting it with the first mark of torture. His cold grey clouds met her wavered blue rainy ones almost letting him lost in them but he knew better to believe those crocodile tears of hers.

Her trembling body backed away watching her predator staring in her tear stained face, her lips quivered in fear keeping her shaking hand over her bandaged stomach, she shook her head at him wanting to find a tint of mercy in those cold eyes of his but nothing, this new version of Ace wasn't familiar with the word as in mercy.

"P-Please," She whispered letting out a loud gasp when he suddenly left her jaw and snapped his hand to her neck grabbing her throat roughly jerking her near him, his lips touched hers freezing her shaking body on the spot, those lips had been devoured by her many times but this once they felt unfamiliar, cold and extremely rugged.

"Don't worry il mio veleno, I wouldn't let you die, we will live together like we promised but the difference is, the once promised heaven would be a hell now!" He whispered against her lips making her let out a cracked cry feeling his fingers squeezing her throat.

il mio veleno.

Her heart cracked into pieces letting her mind accept the gravity of the sin she had committed years ago, once the man who never got tried of calling her il mio amore (My love) had named her as his poison. The inescapable venom that had been seeped in his veins for as long as he remembered being Ace Sullivan.

"A-Ace," She whispered raising her right hand to his shoulder but before it could touch him it was slammed against the wall behind her earning a loud shriek of pain from him.

"First rule, don't ever touch me!" He sneered lowely against her lips making her press her lips together to stop the cry that was begging to escape her.

His hold onto her wrist was so bruising that she felt like he will break her bones anytime, the remorseless cold look in his eyes also screamed the truth of him having no compassion towards her, even if her wrist might dislocated it seemed like he wouldn't care, it would rather give him a pleasure to be able to watch her in tears and pain.

"Second rule, this is your room, every night you should be ready for me," He paused leaning his face against her cheek as his lips brushed against the softness of her sunken flesh, she didn't have the same cute chubby cheeks anymore but it still didn't take away the softness her skin held.

"I Will fuck you to my heart's content and you my little slave will take it like a good girl." She whimpered when he rubbed the back of her arm to the rough wall successfully scratching the skin.

"Words, mio veleno, words." Gritting her teeth she just wanted to get rid of the pain that the brute was inflicting on her.

"Y-Yes, ahh!" She cried out when he roughly yanked her body away letting an electrifying pain erupt from her stab wound, she cradled her bandaged stomach and scooted back from him.

Her teary bloodshot eyes fell on him who nonchalantly stood up from the floor dusting his suit before taking out a handkerchief wiping his hand like touching her had dirtied him. She had no idea what part of her body should she caress to sooth the pain, her back, wrists, legs and stomach even her neck was hurting badly. He indeed had turned into a monster, a brutal barbarian the people of his past created.

"Third rule, you will have no contact with any living being except me." A cruel ghost smirk appeared over his lips as he threw the handkerchief on the floor before staring at her with his usual ice cold glare.

"You're sold to me, mio veleno. Try escaping me I will hit you where it will hurt the most, try obeying me life might become easy for you." Shrugging at the last comment he turned away from her and walked out of the worn out basement which he named as her room.

The moment the door shut close Aurora tiredly threw her head against the wall behind her before staring at the empty darkness, suddenly the past that always haunted her started biting her mind once again. The same memories which she had made but at the same time she badly wanted to get rid of them.

Flashback

(I will cover the past from Aurora's point of view)

Aurora glared at the man sitting in front of her huffing in annoyance as he laughed in glee, "Can you stop?!" This made him cackle even more, her two close friends also laughed shaking their heads.

"Can't believe you actually promised him to not go to club again, what is he? Your father!" Her friend Jade chuckled shaking her head as she pushed the hazardous edge of vape in her mouth letting the smoke burn her insides.

"How many time I have told you don't smoke around me I hate it's smell!" Bree snapped coughing a bit as she pushed her chair near Aurora who also shared the same opinion as hers of hating such gadgets but she just never spoke against it letting her friends do as they pleased.

"Shut up breeze," The young spoiled man mumbled snatching the vape from Jade and shoving it in his mouth.

"You guys went to club? How did you even get inside?" Bree questioned taking a fries from Aurora's plate who replied to her.

"Max got us in, but then," She paused making Max snicker in mock.

"Her boyfriend Ace came to her rescue or more like to babysit her." He said laughing between his words which irked Aurora who didn't like where everything was going, but hearing his words Bree's face fell.

"He's not her boyfriend, you're forgetting what she's doing to him." Aurora looked at Bree with irritated and enraged gaze.

"Not just I, but you guys are also in this shit! You're forgetting Max was the one who gave me the bet and you supported it! And now I am fucking stuck with that goody two shoes asshole!" Jade snorted before snatching her vape from Max and shook her head at Aurora.

"Darling, the most blame will still lie on you as you are one playing with him, poor guy he loves you so much and here he had no idea you're such a two timing bitch!" Aurora felt a sharp pang in her heart feeling offended by Jade's words she glared at her, even Max and Bree looked taken back by her harsh deadpan.

"Excuse me! Before calling me a bitch remember I did say I don't want to be a part of this game but you guys provoked me! And also I have only one boyfriend which is Max, I haven't even kissed Ace so don't ever think I am you!" With that she grabbed her bag and walked away from the table leaving her friends who called for her but she didn't turn around.

Reaching the hallway she slammed her bag in the locker and cursed the day when she decided to go for this shitty bet! Ace Clifford, the adopted trash of her father who was worst than a mouse to her. She knew about Ace's crush on her but never had she ever looked at him for the second time. She again railed bunch of profanities remembering how she was stuck with him for one more month because of her friends.

One month ago she attended Max's 18th birthday and after she came back, Ace had left a small note to meet him, she thought it must be something her father had sent for her but instead that trash had an audacity to propose her. She said no and left the place but her secret boyfriend found this situation really amusing and decided to play his usual games.

He made a bet with her of dating him for next two months and then break his heart in front of everyone, Max was at same age as hers and they both were studying in the same class too. She started dating Max a year ago at her 17th birthday and even though being a infamous playboy having bad reputation and habits he was extremely loving towards her.

Max's father was friends with her father and she knew after they will reach the age of marriage, it would be him as her groom. Everything was going smoothly and she wanted to announce their relationship on his birthday but Max wanted to play this silly game and told her that on her 18th birthday which was after two months they will announce their relationship and she had to break Ace's heart brutally.

Aurora didn't accept such absurd idea but Bree and Jade provoked her so much that in her end she decided to go for it. She wanted to show them she wasn't weak enough to fall for a guy who was God know's whom dirty blood which her father adopted for his underground business. She was busy at cursing her luck for getting stuck like this when a familiar palm touched her shoulder.

She pulled her irritated her face away from the lockers and let her blue ocean crystals meet his soft grey ones which were an epitome of Innocence and beauty. The affection his eyes held which was only reserved for her once again fastened her heartbeat but the irritated expressions remained intact.

Here we go again.
