Loving a Aldainè

#10- who are you

♕︎Scarlet

*Flashback*

"Now, now, now , lets start this again shall we ?," He asked me grabbing a belt in the cold room. "Who are you?" He asked again, "I am Scarlet, Scarlet carmine. Heir to the-" the pain cut me off leaving me to screaming in tears as he hit me with the leather on my chest leaving a bruise as I spat those words in his face.

"You pathetic whore, you are nothing Don't you get it ? You are disgrace to what we have built for centuries," he said, disgust evident in his eyes as he looked at me tied up in the cold metal chains against my bare skin and blood all over my face and body because of the constant beating.

"I am who I am and no matter how much you want it, something that belongs to me will never be yours" I sobbed as I found it hard to breathe in midst of the four men beating me while me being unable to move my hands or legs which were bonded to the metal chains like a animal.

I could slowly feel the light fading away from my eyes as the pain was becoming constant and all could be heard was their laugh with my echoing screams of pain and anger. All continuing till all i could feel was darkness infront of my eyes yet the pain grows more and more as I feel someone laying hands over my body causing me to black out completely.

I woke up feeling the most uncomfortable pain of cold concrete under me just to realize I was now at the mercy of atleast 30 men sitting infront of me all in suits and expensive formal clothes. The cold had me shuddered up as I was completely awake and barely audible making me look down and realizing I was naked as every man laughed hysterically at my situation. All bloody from head to toe.

"And for this day marks one month of me asking you the same question and if you have hopes about leaving or escaping, let them go" he laughed at me frantically touching my shoulders and continued "so tell me, who are you ?" I cried in pain as he grabbed my neck, tears streaming down my eyes.

I felt a stinging pain on my back just to realize other man hitting me with a horse whip so I screamed "I AM SCAR..LET CARMINE....heir..t..to the.." my voice broke as the pain got unbearable and a bucket of ice cold water was splashed on me bucket by bucket making it impossible for my body to take it anymore as I was about to be passed out.

"You are going to wish you were never born, and i will make you forget everything sweetheart, starting from your name to the the last you can remember of yourself, and its for your own good" he stated before turning to his men and ordering them to throw more colder water at me i could feel my body getting blue and cold by every second that was passing by.

One more bucket of water was thrown on to me and that was the last thing I remembered before going in a deep sleep barely remembering to breathe.

*End of the flashback*

My ears were still ringing by the question he asked me. I really wasn't sure about what to answer because him knowing my identity was a downfall of my own. And I was not going to risk it with someone whom I don't even know.

I look at him with fearfully knowing way too well that he is searching for a answer on my face. "I know you are not a normal girl who has come to this city for some new scenery." He cringes at the mention of scenery looking at me to say something while I just stare at him with my hands folded on my chest.

His eyes remain calm and patient while i can see his body shift which screams anger because I have no idea how long I have been silent for. I tear my gaze away from his at the glint of anger showing in his orbs. I drag my eyes down to his cheeks which have light marks as if there were scars there before.
