Little Innocent Liar

Tropical Vacation

[ Two Years Ago ]

" Come here..." The voice of the guy with black hair and cream colored eyes said.

Jax Barlowe.... They call him The Maniac. Why? Because he finds pleasure in other's pain. In other words, he's a sadist.

I had been paired with him by my mother. She always tried to pair me with the sons of the alley families, the families loyal to the Red Plague. The Barlowe family was one of them.

Our relationship was... mutual but not mutual as in we loved each other. It was more so... We both were only together because we were obligated to. There was no love between us but he still wanted what every guy wants to enjoy from me : .... S*x.

Why didn't we just broke up? Well.... I was too afraid... If you thought Arkadi was bad, this guy was worst.... Way worst...

Anywho.... I walked over to him and sat on his lap. He kissed my neck and grabbed on my thighs. He bit really hard on on my neck and I sucked on my teeth in pain.

" S-stop." I said.

He glared at me, pointing his knife at my neck.

" Don't tell me to stop...." He said.

I gulped a bit. He bit on my neck again until it bled while whimpering. I wanted to scream but I tried not to. I felt the blade of his knife over my arm then over my thigh. I then felt a sting and saw that my thigh was bleeding. It wasn't a deep cut but it still stung.

He slammed me down over his desk pretty hard. I groaned a bit. He started making out with me though I felt stinging on my thighs. I looked down for a bit and saw my thighs had a few, small cuts. He grabbed me by the chin, squishing both my cheeks with his hand and made me look at him, agressively.

" Stop worrying about it. It's not going to kill you... Though... That would have been fun." He said before chuckling.

I felt a chill down my spine.

" You're crazy..." I mumbled.

He'd lifted the knife up on the side of my chest, under the shoulder.

" I know..." He said before he made a stabbing motion.

My eyes widened and my scream just echoed...

[ Present Day ]

I woke up gasping before breathing heavily. I placed my hand over my head. Axel woke up immediately by the sound of my gasp before looking at me.

" Love, are you okay??" He said.

I started having an anxiety attack, hugging myself tightly. He quickly wrapped his arms around my in a hug and gently caressed my back. He hummed a little to help me calm down.

I started crying, slowly calming down. I felt safe... I was still trembling from the horrible memory but I knew I was okay now... Safe in Axel's arms.

" It's okay, I'm here. Don't worry." He said softly, still caressing my back gently

I started calming down completely. I hugged him tightly, sniffling. He kissed the top of my head, humming for me again. I close my eyes, feeling calm as I listened to his humming and smelled the scent of his cologne.

He continued and wiped away the tears that were left from my cheeks. I sniffled a bit still but I was calm, listening. I gently caressed him arms, still having my eyes closed. He hummed still before caressing his fingers through my hair.

" Are you feeling better...?" He whispered softly.

" Mhm..." I said softly, opening my eyes to look at him.
