His Possession

"Catch her!" Don't let her escape. " A loud voice roared from behind me. My legs wanted to give up, but I couldn't. I couldn't stop running right now.

I was panting and gasping for air as I sprinted across the dim alleyway. I came to a sudden halt when I saw Yoshim's men approach me.

My heart skipped a beat, I looked back and saw the men chasing me growing closer.

"Oh fuck, I'm doomed." I cursed under my breath. I'm trapped.

I felt a heavy knock on my head and fell hard to the floor. I tried blinking to see clearly, but I was smacked in the stomach and then in the head again.

I blacked out after hearing a loud ringing in my ear. I awoke as I felt the extremely cold water on my skin. I blinked quickly and looked around, finding a familiar location.

This might be my last day on Earth. I discovered my wrists were bound behind me, and I was chained to a chair. My skull stung from the hits I'd endured earlier.

I could taste blood in my mouth. The men who brought me here stood quietly, their arms behind them.

My eyes burned and my tears kept on flowing. This is all my fault, I should've left him before it got this bad.

I closed my eyes and took in deep breaths, awaiting my death.

When I smelled smoke, I looked up right away. "He's here." I murmured to myself. I heard a tiny footfall that came closer and closer until I saw his shadow in front of me.

I couldn't glance up as I trembled in horror. I felt his hand on my cheek. He rubbed my chin and raised my head. "You look a mess, honey." He uttered it with no emotion.

Tears clung to my eyelids, threatening to fall. I gazed at him with contempt and rage. "Tsk ,tsk, tsk, I don't like the look in your eyes, honey. Who hit her?" He enquired, and one of the men spoke out.

He got closer and knocked him to the ground. He slumped beside me, and I looked at him with terror in my eyes.

"I told you to bring her here unharmed, you moron." The man suddenly dropped to his knees and apologised. He despised having his belongings touched.

"Yo...Yoshim, ple....please let me go." I stuttered with fear. He fixed his focus on me and walked gently towards me.

He struck me on the face several times before grabbing my hair and yanking me to stare at him. "You've become brazen, right? "You even attempted to flee." He gave a sarcastic laugh.

"No matter where you fucking go, Hillary, I'll find you and do more than this to you; don't try to flee from me, you little whore."

He said that with an angry expression on his face. My tears began to fall, not only from his harsh remarks but also from the severe agony I was experiencing as a result of the way he gripped my hair.

He eventually let go and directed his men to untie me. When they finally freed me, I fell flat on the floor. My body was weak; I attempted to rise, but my knees buckled and I fell again.

"You look so pathetic, why did you try to run in the first place?" I quickly looked up when I heard that familiar soft voice.

"Gail? How did you get here?" I asked in a perplexed tone. "Yoshim brought me here." She said while twirling her hair around her index finger.

"Gail, leave this place immediately. You don't know Yoshim, he's dangerous." I warned her. "Oh please spare me this crap Hillary, Yoshim loves me and he wants to be with me.

You're just jealous 'cause he doesn't love you anymore."

"Are you crazy? Gail, you're just a kid and you have no idea how dangerous he is, don't be stupid like me, he doesn't love you and he never will!"

"You're in no position to tell me who to love and who to not love. Fix...," "I'm you're fucking sister Gail, no one wants you to be safe more than me." I cut her off.

"Yoshim loves me, he said he'll marry me and you can't do anything about it. Stop being delusional, your time has expired."

"Gail, please." "He said he loves me! Shut up," she said in an annoyed tone.

"When did he say that?" She folded her arms on her chest and looked at me. "He said it when he was making love to me."

"Gail! What the fuck you allowed this monster to sleep with you?" "It's not like you didn't do the same." She clapped back.

"Listen to me..."

"I'm done listening." She cut me off and walked away getting closer to where Yoshim was standing. I saw Yoshim kissing her passionately as he roamed his hands around her body.

My blood boiled inside me. "Get your fucking hands off her your cunt!" I yelled like never before. They broke the kiss and I saw Gail roll her eyes at me.

Yoshim came at me, landing a blow to my gut. "You don't fucking talk to me like that little whore!" I put my hand to my stomach and cried in anguish.

He walked away, leaving me in severe discomfort. I felt a warm liquid roll down my thighs. I looked down and noticed blood all over my skirt.

I screamed. I continued to scream until one of the guys approached and carried me. I awoke in a hospital bed with a doctor next to me.

I gazed at him, and he looked at me pitifully. "You just had a miscarriage Hillary, I'm sorry." I stared at him with a puzzled expression. He took his phone out and left shortly.

I didn't know how to react to the news. I wasn't even aware I was pregnant. I looked down at my tummy and held it. I cried until I felt empty.

If I knew I was pregnant I wouldn't have let myself be caught, I would've protected my child. I kept on crying while clutching my tummy.

Yoshim had everyone under him, he even had police officers under his payroll. He's been torturing me since I was twenty years old. I attempted to flee once but was apprehended by the police and returned to him.

That's when I understood that the Yoshim I'd fallen in love with was long gone. He abused me physically and sexually any chance he got.

"Do you want to escape?" A strong voice asked. I turned my head to face him. It was one of Yoshim's men. "What?" "I can help you escape."

"Why would you help me escape? You'd get in trouble." "I hate the way Yoshim treats you, you're a good girl and you don't deserve it."

I broke down into tears when he said that. I immediately wiped my tears and looked at him. "What is your name?" "Kay."

"What's the plan?" I asked while staring deeply into his eyes.

I was back in Yoshim's club. I was a waitress but he sometimes let people have fun with me. I kept on praying in my head hoping Kay's plan would work.

I went to the tables and served them their drinks. I noticed there was a guy who was looking intently at me. He was sitting with one guy who seemed busy on his phone. I ignored it cause it wasn't the first time someone was staring at me.

I looked at Kay and I didn't see any signal, I guess I have to wait. I heard someone snap their fingers so I walked to attend to the person. It was the guy that was staring at me earlier.

His friend was the one who called me. "What would you like to drink?" "Tequila for me and margarita for him." He said and went back to staring at his phone.

The guy that was staring at me earlier didn't say anything, he was just looking at me. I became uncomfortable.

I walked away from their table and gave their order to Tee, the bartender. "New weirdos?" He asked with a raised brow. "I think so, they scare me."

"They're not scarier than Yoshim." He said sarcastically. I ignored him and looked back at him to find him still staring.

The way he stared at me made a chill run down my spine. "Order done," Tee said while placing the drinks in front of me. I placed them on my tray and walked to their table.

I served them and was about to leave when I heard his manly voice. "Thank you." His voice did something to me but I don't know what.

I was able to see him better because the disco light started to reflect on his face. This guy was strikingly handsome. He had blue-piercing eyes full lips and a sharp jawline.

His shoulders were broad and I could see his huge biceps begging to be let out in his t-shirt.

I smiled faintly and walked away, I looked at Kay and he winked. Finally, it's time.

Kay paid two guys to start a fight for the club to be chaotic, and then we had the chance to escape.

Rodrigo Pov.

This was the first time we were visiting a club like this. I hated the environment. I was looking around when my eyes fell on a gorgeous black-haired girl.

She had tied her hair in a bun with loose strands falling on her face. She wore a mini skirt with black boots.

I couldn't stop staring at how beautiful she looked even from afar. Her eyes locked with mine and she looked uncomfortable but I couldn't avert my gaze.

"Who is she?" I asked Fabio. "Who?"

"The girl in the skirt."

"I don't know man, it's also my first time here jeez." He said and resumed staring at his screen.

I looked at her and saw her exchanging looks with one of the guards. I don't know why but it annoyed me.

"I want her," I said with a serious expression.

"What do you mean? You want me to kidnap her for you." He asked sarcastically.

"Yes," I said without hesitation. He shook his head sideways and snapped his fingers. The girl quickly came to our table. My eyes widened when she came closer and I saw her soft features.

She had big brown doe eyes with a cute upturned nose with Freckles on them. Her lips were rosy pink and her body was just perfect. Just my type.

She left with our order and started to talk to the bartender. "Hillary Monroe, 22 years old. Her dad is in jail for beating her mum to death. Gail is the name of her little sister."

"How did you find that so fast?" "It's like you don't know me Rodrigo." He whined.

"I knew I could count on you." "Looks like she's had a rough life, she's been in and out of hospitals countless times," Fabio said sadly. I felt a pang of pain in my chest.

I don't know why but I wish I could wipe all the bad memories from her head. She appeared with our order and placed them down gently. "Thank you." I suddenly blurted out.

She looked at me and smiled faintly, I don't know why but it warmed my heart.

"Rodrigo, one of my warehouses had been ransacked by some people and most of our supplies had gone missing."

"WHAT?" I roared.

Just then, I heard a glass shatter and two huge guys started to fight. This is bad. Gunshots could be heard and the place became chaotic. I glanced around trying to find Hillary but I didn't.

"Rodrigo this way," Fabio spoke while directing me somewhere. But I didn't want to leave, I wanted to take Hillary along. That's when I saw her leaving with the guard she was exchanging looks with earlier.

"Fabio, I'm gonna follow them, get the car ready," I said and left hurriedly.

Hillary pov

I kept on running with Kay as we manoeuvred our way through the messy crowd. Kay pulled me through and we finally got out of the club. We couldn't take the main entrance because Yoshim's men were there.

We were running through the dark alley, panting and gasping for air. Relief washed over me when I realised that I finally left that hell hole.

We kept on running when I heard a gunshot. I immediately halted and felt a warm liquid trickling down my arm.

I looked around and saw no wound, I glanced at Kay and my eyes widened. I immediately brought my hand to my mouth trying to suppress the scream that wanted to come out.

Kay held his arm as he bled profusely, he groaned in pain and fell to his knees. "Oh my God, Kay are you alright? Ugh, what am I going to do." I said while hyperventilating.

I heard footsteps and looked up only to be met by those same devilish eyes. He wore a grin on his face. And to his left was Gail who clung to him like a barnacle.

How did he even know I escaped? "Haha, I overheard your little conversation with the guard, so I told Yoshim." She smiled while talking.

"Gail, what the fuck is wrong with you?" I said with anger and tears in my eyes. She shrugged her shoulders and her mouth curved into a smile.

I pressed my hand on Kay's wound to stop the bleeding, he groaned in pain and I couldn't stop my tears.

"I should've gotten rid of you a long time ago," Yoshim said while pointing a gun at my head. I closed my eyes and waited for him to pull the trigger.

I heard a gunshot and still kept my eyes closed. Death is not that painful I guess, cause I wasn't feeling a thing. "Oh my God, Yoshim you're bleeding!" I heard Gail yell.

My eyes shot open and I saw Yoshim's arm bleeding. I looked behind me and saw a lot of huge men running towards us.

Even if Yoshim doesn't kill me, I'm sure I'll get a heart attack from all of these. "Sir, we're outnumbered, we have to leave." One of the guys spoke.

They quickly carried Kay and tried to pull me but there was another gunshot. The guys let go of me and ran off.

I sat on the floor covered my ears with my hand and shuddered in fear. The footsteps kept on getting nearer and nearer. I didn't want to run with Yoshim's men, he just tried to kill me.

I would rather be killed by strangers than be killed by the people I love. Manly hands grabbed me and I screamed at ate top of my lungs.

I wiggled and squirmed trying to escape from their grips. They got near a black van and pushed me inside.

"Who are you people, what do you want from me?" I inquired but they just stayed silent. My life is so shitty, I escaped trouble just to land in another one.

"Fucking answer me, you dimwits!" I kicked the car seat and tried to open it, but the guys immediately held me down.

They held my hand above my head and brought a handkerchief closer to my nose, I knew what that was. I kicked my legs and struggled with them.

"Guys, be careful don't hurt her. Boss wants her unharmed" One of the guys suddenly spoke.

My brows furrowed in confusion, which boss? What does he want from me? I got distracted and didn't realise they had pressed the handkerchief on my nose again.

I breathed in the chlorophyll and my eyelids suddenly became heavy, my body became numb and I blacked out.

I woke up to a beautifully arranged room. The colour preference and the interior were just my style. I kept looking around when my eyes landed on a man with broad shoulders.

He was facing the wall with his hands in his pockets. My heart started to beat violently in my chest. He turned slowly and I gasped.

It was the guy from the club with a mysterious aura. His eyes roamed my body and his gaze stopped at my thighs.

I looked down and realised my skirt was pushed up revealing my thighs and pantie. I quickly covered up and awkwardly fixed my hair.

"Pervert," I said under my breath. He gave a half smile and a dimple appeared. "Who are you?" I said while standing up from the bed.

He walked closer to me while observing my every movement. "If you're doing this to get money from Yoshim it won't work. Just let me go, I have a lot of things to do."

His eyebrows rose and his forehead drew a line. "What if I said I want something more than that?" He jerked me into reality with his raspy voice.

"What do you mean?" my eyes darted as I folded my arms on my chest. "I want you." He said with a serious expression.

I burst out laughing. "Oh my God, what the fuck do you mean? Am I a thing? You kidnap someone and this is the nonsense you're saying?

Let me go or I'll call the police." I said with a straight face. He walked past me pulled out a chair, sat down and crossed his leg on the other.

"I knew you'd refuse." A smirk played at the corner of his lips. "I have a proposal for you, that'll help you get out of your miserable life."

I blinked when he said that. "What proposal?"

"Marry me, and I'll save you from your miserable life. From your abusive boyfriend and your shitty family, I can make you happy again."

"How the fuck do you know all that, are you a stalker?" my expression hardened as I looked at him.

He sat there unbothered while staring at me. "I won't marry you, let me go and I promise not to involve the police." A laugh escaped his lips when I said that.

"Hillary, I'm just trying to save you. You have no one to depend on, you're all alone in this world.

You can't return to your boyfriend because he'll kill you, and what, the police? When were they reliable?"

"Okay who the fuck are you and how the hell do you know so much about me?"

"What if I told you I could help you get revenge on those that wronged you? Your father, your sister and your boyfriend, and also keep you safe. Just sign my marriage contract."

My breath hitched when he said that. I've been betrayed and hurt deeply by the people I loved and cherished.

I had nowhere to go, I needed to accept this even though it was rushed. I looked at him and he had a satisfied look written on his face.

Why am I even starting to trust a stranger?

But why did he want to marry me?

"How long does the contract marriage last? Why me?" The corners of his mouth curved into a smile. "1 year, I'm just really fond of you." I stood there and thought deeply.

"I can give you some time to think about..."

"I'll sign it." I cut him off. He smiled and his cute dimple appeared again. "Now we're talking, I always knew you were smart." He said confidently with a pleased smile.

He took out his phone and typed something on it. Someone entered the room and brought a file.

I looked at him closely and realised he was the guy at the club with this weirdo. He left after delivering the file.

"Come sign these Freckles." He said while handing me a pen. I walked slowly and took the pen from his hands.

I stared at the paper for a while. I don't know what I'm getting myself into but I'd do anything to be away from Yoshim. I'll do anything for him to pay for what he did to me and my child.

"I'll sign this only on one condition." His face changed to something else. "Tell me." "Let's only act like couples outside and live our normal lives when we're inside."

He tilted his head while scrutinising me. "Alright, I'll never touch you without your permission."

I took a deep breath and signed the contract. "Aren't you going to read the contents?" He asked.

"No, I just need you to fulfil your promise." he smiled again and the cute dimple appeared.

"You're officially my wife now."
