The Chosen Bride

~ Delilah ~

"Little bride... Don't go there, you will fall" A boy with beautiful blue eyes spoke as he ran after the small girl with a worried face.

"No brother Kayn. I won't fall" The little girl looked back at him and smiled brightly while waving at him.

Suddenly I heard a loud thunder and woke up, I laughed at myself because I was seeing the same dream. The same dream I always loved and the same past I always wanted to go. I got off from the bed and looked at the time. It was already 2 o'clock in the morning. I slowly walked towards the big window of my room and looked up at the sky. There no moon can be seen, no stars, only darkness with the heavy stormy rain. It was also just like my life. Only darkness. I recalled the painful memories as I looked at the rain. It all belongs to the man I loved. Kayden Quinn. I forced my tears back but I failed as they rolled down through my cheeks.

'Where did the little boy who loved me more than himself go?' I questioned myself because I still couldn't understand that after spending twelve years. I cried, I cried because I wanted to let go of those beautiful memories and painful memories. I still can't believe the fact that the little boy is long gone and replaced with a man who hated me without a limit. What did I do? And what did I do to deserve his hatred? He kept telling me that his parents died because of me but I don't even remember anything. He said he lost his parents and he loved them so much but what about me? Didn't I also lose my parents? Didn't I love them so much?

I don't even know how my parents died and Kayden's parents. All I knew was that both of our parents died on the same day. I don't know what exactly happened on that day. Why can't Kayden just talk to me in a few words? It's enough. It will be enough to make my day and make me happy. But he never did that and I knew he would never do it. The only thing he knew was how to hurt me and how to make me cry with his hurtful actions. I was looking out of the window. Suddenly, I saw Kayden's car come through the gate. My heart began to beat so fast and I bit my lower lip. My heart began to worry about him. I don't even know if he had dinner, I knew he had so much work to handle and he didn't have time to relax or have his food. As Kayden's car stopped in the garage I ran out of my room and stopped in the balcony and I placed my hands on the balcony countertop. I was looking down and I saw Kayden come into the house while unbuttoning the buttons in his shirt sleeves. He stopped beside the couch and threw his blazer on it as he unbuttoned the first few buttons of his shirt. He was just so handsome and I couldn't take my eyes off him.

Suddenly, he looked up at me. My heart tightened as he looked at me, I was afraid if he looked away. His eyes traveled from my head to toe. Then his gaze stopped at my feet. After some time he looked at me again, he didn't even just look away. He just kept looking at my eyes. His blue eyes made my heart beat fluttered because of my nervousness. I began to bite my lower lip. His gaze fell on my lips and within a few seconds it came back to my eyes. All I wanted to do was run to him and hug him so tightly because this is the man I loved more than ten years. But I'm not that lucky. Kayden was still looking at me. Without thinking about anything I smiled at him. For the first time after twelve years. He was still looking at me but I could see that his eyes were gentle and not like before. I bit my bottom lip and slowly walked downstairs but Kayden's eyes never left mine. After I came down, I stopped a few feet away from him. I was too afraid to go close to him because I didn't want to make him angry. I looked up at him and smiled again, I wanted to ask if he had dinner or wanted me to make something for him to eat.

"Why are you awake?" I heard his voice and my heart overwhelmed with happiness.

"I.. I heard thundering so I woke up" I said as I looked down. This is the first time I'm having a good conversation with him.

"Where are your slippers?" Kayden spoke and came towards me. Then I realized that I'm not wearing my slippers and the floor is cold.

"I... I forgot" I let out a forced smile and looked up at him. He was already so close to me and looking down at me with a lovely gaze. I was beyond happy and my heart is on rapid fire.

"Hmm. Go to sleep now" With that Kayden caressed my face with his thumb. I was really happy.

"Did you eat?" I asked as I smiled at him.

"Yeah. I ate" I nodded at him because I felt happy. Thank god he didn't miss his meals. Suddenly, Kayden wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him and I was surprised so I looked at him with a questioning gaze.

"Are you seducing me Delilah? In the middle of night while wearing thin clothes that could show your body transparently? Hmm?" I blushed because of what he asked, then I looked at my nightgown and noticed it was too thin and could see my breasts. I was so embarrassed and I heard Kayden's chuckle. But suddenly Kayden pushed me away and stepped back. I looked up at his eyes and saw the disgust and hatred. I wanted to cry because the gentleness he had in his eye a few minutes ago is gone and replaced with the familiar heartless.

"What the fuck are you trying to do?" Kayden spoke angrily. He came to me and grabbed me from my hand.

"It.. hurts Kayden" Tears came out of my eyes as I spoke. Then he threw me against the wall and pressed himself against me.

"Didn't I warn you before? Don't fucking come near me. I hate you. Bloody trash" His words were filled with venom. I felt my heart was suffocating because of his words. I couldn't help but cry because of the pain I'm feeling.

"Kayden.. I ..I was" I tried to talk but I was cut off by his angry voice.

"Shut your fucking mouth. You know that I have a girlfriend but yet you try to seduce me in the middle of night. Are you a whore?" What? Whore? What was that for? What did I do? Kayden grabbed my chin forcefully and made me look at him and his touch made me feel like I'm in hell. His eyes were filled with rage.

"I'm gonna kill you one day and make you pay for my parents death" With that he let go of my chin and grabbed me from my hand and took me into the washroom.

"Kayden.. What are you.." Before I could finish he threw me against a wall of the washroom and opened the cold shower. It was so cold. I felt my body was about to freeze, I quickly hugged myself but it didn't help me. I looked up at Kayden who was heartlessly smirking at me. I cried but he couldn't see my tears because of the water.

"Learn your lesson and stay the fuck away from me or you'll get more than this" Then he just left me in the washroom. I sat down on the cold floor and let water run through my body. I didn't feel cold because I was too hurt. My heart was covered with pain so I couldn't feel the coldness. I stayed there for a long time and I stood up to leave but my legs were numb because I was sitting on the floor but I encouraged myself and slowly walked towards my room and dried myself , then changed into new clothes. I grabbed my phone and saw it was already 4 o'clock in the morning. And I saw messages from James. Urghh I totally forgot that I have to meet him tomorrow. I climbed on to my bed and closed my eyes without thinking what just happened and how my happiness shattered into pieces. I wanted to sleep because tomorrow is a new day.....

~ Kayden ~

I was so depressed because of the work. I wanted to sell every fucking company that belonged to me and spend time peacefully. Urgh. As I came into the house, after a few minutes I felt someone was staring at me and I looked up. Delilah, the woman both I loved and hated. She was looking at me with her beautiful eyes, my heart began to beat so fast and I traveled my eyes through her delicate and sexy body. I could see her body through her thin nightgown but what caught my attention was she's not wearing slippers. Why is this woman so ignorant? It's raining heavily and very cold. Then I looked at her beautiful face and I felt relaxed, my depressed feeling was gone and it was replaced with love. She was biting her bottom lip and I wanted to kiss her. After looking at me she suddenly smiled and that smile took my breath away. How could this woman be so gorgeous? Then she slowly came towards me. I talked with her and I could feel that she was happy because I talked with her normally.

I felt the urge to touch her so I grabbed her from the waist and pulled her closer to me. Her smell, Fuck.. She's making me go insane. I teased her and saw she was blushing. I felt my heart was happy because of her but suddenly my mind showed me my parents' images and I felt the pain of losing them. It was all because of this woman... I shouldn't love her. I should just hate her. With those thoughts I pushed her away and I saw she was looking at me with a hurt look, my heart ached but I didn't care. Then grabbed her from her hand in a painful way and told hurtful words to her.

She looked at me with tear filled eyes and the look she gave me was so innocent. How did I become this heartless to hurt the woman that I loved the most? I couldn't understand myself. No.. she deserved this. She should feel the pain. I lost my parents because of her and I hate her so I'm giving the pain that she deserves. I can't give her that pain in the same way I felt but I will give it to her in a more dangerous way. I knew I'm using her own love that she had for me to hurt her and I was satisfied. Then I dragged her into the washroom and pushed her against the wall as I turned on the ice cold water. I looked at her small body as she covered herself from her hands. Suddenly, she looked at me. Her eyes were empty and I could feel that she's crying but I couldn't see her tears because of the water. I felt like someone was piercing my heart with a dagger because of the empty look that she gave me. I was hurt. So I didn't want to see her eyes anymore. So I just left without even looking back at her but before I left the washroom I warned her again.

After I came into my room, my mind was a mess and my heart hurt. I wanted to forget so I went into the washroom and showered. Then I came out and changed my clothes but I couldn't forget Delilah's face. Shit. I sat on my bed and started to pull my hair because I wanted to feel the pain. I again hurt her. I betrayed my own feelings and hurt her again. My mind kept reminding me how she smiled at me. Fuck. I cursed and went out of my room because I wanted to check on Delilah but the thing I saw broke my heart even more. She was shivering and walking slowly through the staircase. I looked at her legs and I could tell they were numb. Is this what she gets for loving me? I closed my eyes and asked myself because of the pain I'm feeling inside of me.

-Delilah-

I heard with a loud bang the door of my room opened but It's not the scariest thing that happened. The scariest thing was angry Kayden came into my room.

"Where did you go?" Kayden asked as he grabbed my hand. Ouch it hurts. He's digging his nails into my flesh. Why does he always want to hurt me? Wasn't he satisfied with what he did to me yesterday?

"DELILAH.. I'm asking for the one last time. WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO IN THIS AFTERNOON?" Kayden is angry and I could feel his burning gaze on me . He's the most dangerous person when he's angry. I have no idea what was his problem but I was truly scared of him now.

"I..I..why do you ask? Do .... do I have to tell you everything?" Where did these words come from? I don't know, why did I just tell this? How did I manage to provoke him more. OH GOD help me. I'm shivering under his angry gaze. I can't even look into his eyes because they are too dangerous to look. I could feel his anger as clenched his fists and his jaw.

"Ha.. you're afraid now? Weren't you afraid that when you fucked with him? "He pushed me onto bed as he climbed top of me. What was he talking about? I fucked? But with whom? I just went to meet my old best friend. But what is he talking about?

"Wh.. what did you say?" I looked at his eyes. They are gorgeous. Those eyes are what I always loved.

"I don't repeat myself Delilah." He shouted and started to tear my clothes.

"Noo.. don't" I struggled under his body but how am I supposed to fight against his body and his strength?

"Why? Only he can touch you? I'll satisfy you more than you could ever imagine." He smirked at me while licking his lips. What is this ? I didn't even know what he was talking about.

"I'm gonna fuck you now Delilah. Keep this mind. From today onwards you will be my fuck doll. Got it my chosen bride?" He's mad. I'm scared of him. He just smiled at me using his seductive lips but that smile is not a good smile, it's the smile that welcomes me to the living hell. Before I could say or do anything he took of his clothes and started fuck me hard. His dick is so big he didn't even let me take time to adjust myself. He thrusted me hard and fast. He wasn't gentle at all. He only brings me pain ever since I started to live in this house. Suddenly I felt sharp pain from my shoulder, Yeah he bit me till I bled. I just don't know what I did to deserve this. Not only physically but also mentally I'm suffering. I started to stay without making sounds but I failed. Because it hurts so much.

"Ahh... K..Kayn please stop.. it hurts" I sobbed against his body.

"Doesn't it feel good Delilah? Ha...." he said with a small chuckle. He squeezed my breasts and sucked them. He was like a starving animal. He pounded onto me as he grabbed my head and started to kiss. It was my first kiss. I'm glad that I could give it to the person I loved but I wanted a gentle kiss full of love not a kiss full of hatred. Suddenly he changed the position and flipped me as he thrusted me from behind, now I'm on my four limbs. My waist is about to break because of his strength. I still remember the first day I saw him. It was my 8th birthday. From that day I started to like him but what is the current situation I'm in? I can't take this anymore,

"Kayden you're hurting me. Please stop, it's enough now "I cried as I clutched the bedsheet.

"But I'm hurt more than you..." with that he started to thrust deeper and faster. I don't have mind to think about what he just said

"Ahhh... pl...please be gentle" All I could do was cry and beg him to slow down. But it never worked. My love for him never changed and will never in the future that's why I always lose. My heart tightened as I remembered Kayden as his gentle smile when we were kids, he even said that he will protect me. My tears never stopped because of the pain he's giving me and the pain he gave me over these years. Why didn't I just die along with my parents?

....................................

-Kayden-

I fucked her so hard like I always wanted to. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. Fucking gorgeous. When she was naked beneath my body, it was the most attractive thing I've seen. Her crying face made me so hard. So I fucked her using my whole strength. I thrusted into her so hard as she moaned through her broken voice. But when my mind reminded me how close she was with James, again I pounded into her without even caring for her pain and never stopped. She was begging me to stop but I didn't. It was my anger who took the control. I can't believe that I did it to her without her permission. Yeah, I raped her. She fell asleep after 6 rounds. So I got up from her bed, I wanted to clean myself. Before I could walk into the bathroom I saw something, something that stopped my heartbeat.

BLOOD! There's a huge blood patch on the light pink bedsheet. I'm sure, I didn't have any injuries so that blood is not mine. If it's not my blood it can belong to only one person. I quickly checked her body, but I never found any bleeding wound on her that could make a huge blood patch. She had bite marks on her body that were made by me but those can't make this kind of blood patch. So I can only guess, IT WAS HER FIRST TIME. SHE WAS VIRGIN. That means she never cheated with James. I can feel my heart is hurting me. It was her first time that's why she cried from the pain, and begged me to be gentle. I still remember the pain that was on her face. I'M SORRY DELILAH.

Before she wakes up I should get lost. I quickly put on my pants and took my other clothes and left her room. My mind was filled with her sleeping face. Fuck what did I just do?

I went straight to my room and showered, and changed into new clothes. Then I received a call from Lisa. Lisa is the woman I use to hurt Delilah. Lisa is an old friend of mine and she's lesbian. She acts like my girlfriend when Delilah is around.

"Hello Lisa what's up?"

"Kayn what were you doing?" She asked as she laughed.

"Nothing why?" I asked casually.

"You sweet fucker, don't lie. I know you were definitely having sex with that pretty lady. De..Li...lah" she said while laughing like an idiot. She knows me very well.

"Yeah.. now tell me why did you call?" She never calls me if it's not something important.

"Tomorrow we have a gala , remember? So you great billionaire, I would like to have your money to buy the most beautiful dress" yeah here we go, she never does anything for free. She acted my girlfriend's part to hurt Delilah for food and clothes. Urghhh this woman.

"Okay you buy anything you want. I'll pay. I'm tired now bye." I hung up. With that I started to think tomorrow Delilah will also attend that gala. Well will see.

~ Delilah ~

I have no idea at what time I fell asleep and Kayden is not here anymore. My body is numb, I have no strength with me, I wanted to stand up but couldn't. I can't feel anything only the sharp pain between my legs can feel. Yeah, it was all thanks to Kayden I didn't know what happened and why did he act like that. Actually he has never touched me before, I couldn't figure it out because he didn't talk to me about it. My body hurts, and also my heart. I got up from the help of the bed and I slowly walked towards the bathroom. Every step I took it felt like someone stabbing me with a knife but I just tried to forget about it and went to the bathroom. I looked at myself through the mirror. All I saw was a mess. Messy hair, bite marks from neck to abdomen, some marks are red as they bled, swollen lips with cuts. I just cried. Cried for myself and I stared at myself through the mirror as I remembered the past. Painful memories came to my mind like they stabbed me to my heart. I sat on the cold floor as I hugged my knees and buried my face against it while recalling the painful past.

....Delilah's past....

"Del, from now on this will be your home and everyone in this home will treat you as a princess because we never had a girl in this house. Specially Kayden he will definitely love his future wife." It was grandma Quinn who brought me to this home when I was 10 years old. After my parents death. They took care of me like a princess just like the first day that grandma told but there was a difference with one thing. It was, Kayden never loved me and never treated me as a princess. He just hated me because he believed his parent's death was my fault. He said if they didn't come to save me that day they would've still been alive.

I was the chosen bride for Kayden from a very young age. It was both of our parents' decisions. After I came to this house. I slowly fell in love with Kayden. I only wanted him but he never wanted me he thought our parents decision was stupid. Yeah, maybe it could be stupid for him, but for me it was the best thing. Grandma Quinn always loved and gave me everything ever since I came to this house. I loved her as well. I still remember the day Kayden brought a girl home. I remember the face that he gave me while kissing that girl. He knew, he knew that I loved him so he did everything that could hurt me. He had so many girlfriends and he always showed me that he never wanted me and he never had feelings for me. I was so broken because of him. The most painful thing happened on my 18th birthday party. I felt my heart crying for me because of the thing that he did to me.

Everyone told me happy birthdays and gave me so many gifts but Kayden never said or gave. It wasn't a problem for me because I knew what kind of personality he had. At my birthday party Kayden brought a girl with him. She was a beautiful girl with arrogant attitudes and suddenly Kayden came to me.

"I have something to show you, come with me." I was beyond happy because he talked to me. I couldn't stop my smile. Everyone has told me that I had the most beautiful smile. With that I followed Kayden to upstairs. But,

"Kayden.. why is she here?" The girl that Kayden brought was there.

"She came to be a witness to my proposal for you baby." Proposal? What was he talking about? With that Kayden kissed that girl. My heart broke into pieces. I couldn't breathe. I didn't know why? After they were done Kayden dropped his one knee on the floor and took a ring out of his pocket,

"I, Kayden Quinn, want you to be my bride. mother to children and wife for the rest of my life. Would you agree with me?" It was all I could remember because I ran from there, I didn't want to stay anymore so I ran out of the house. I just walked out from home and went to the road. It was my birthday. I should be happy but there wasn't a hint of happiness in my heart. There was only pain, with a broken heart.

"Hey...Watch out.." someone shouted as I fell onto the ground with great pain. I couldn't figure it out whether that pain came from my body or from my heart. I was hit by a car. I remember there was a boy who shouted. He took me into his arms and ran to hospital. I don't remember his face or anything but his eyes have the same color as Kayden's but I knew that wasn't Kayden because he was with his future wife and having fun but that woman wasn't me. When I was in the hospital Kayden never came to visit me but I didn't care because he can't hurt me anymore I promised myself. I asked everyone about the boy who took me to hospital but they never knew who he was and what he looks like so I had to give up. After I was discharged grandma brought me home. I saw Kayden was looking at me with a guilty look but from that day I didn't look at his eyes because when I see those eyes it only brings me pain. That pain was something that I was afraid to face.

...................

"Delilah, come down for dinner. Your favorite food is here with us. Come quickly darling." I was pulled back from my memories as grandma talked to me. I was still in the bathroom but I managed to answer her.

"I'll come grandma. Wait for me" with that I got up and washed myself and quickly changed into clothes that wouldn't reveal my skin because I can't let anyone see my body.

Then I went downstairs. Kayden was also there. He looked at me as I came in but I didn't look at him because it was already enough...... He was just a monster, but I have no idea why I fell in love with this monster. He never made me happy but still I love him like a fool. I just couldn't make myself forget him and move on because the love I have for him is really annoying. Every time I see him my love increases for him. So how am I supposed to forget this man? Even if he hurt me or killed me I don't think that I will ever be able to forget him or stop loving him. I just hate myself for that.....
