Fire On Fire

Chapter 26 - Just Not My Day

Then he bites my lip, literally, hard and the soft skin breaks under the pressure, releasing blood, then he lets me go, pushing me away from him as if i suddenly disgust him, and i stumble backwards, almost falling to the floor.

I gain back my composure, and lean against the wall, next to the door.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" i snap, tasting the blood on my lip with my tongue, as i stand my hand on the door handle, ready to leave at any second.

"Do you have to make everything so damn difficult?" he asks slowly, his thumb touching his lip.

"I'm going to tell Mom what you just did, and i'm going to tell her everything else too" i snarl.

"Really, go ahead.....i have been waiting for you to do that for months....make my day Antonella... let's see what will come out of it" he murmurs sardonically.

"You're crazy"

"Now, that is no way to talk to me Ella.......besides, i'm just getting started...your move" he smiles, his eyes and posture calm, like nothing wrong just happened here.

I walk out of the room and literally run the rest of the way back to my bedroom, locking the door and leaning against it after.

I cannot believe what just happened.

I place my hand on my heart and slide down to the floor.

After i gain my composure, my fingers immediately going to my lip, and i feel the blood on my finger tips from his assault.

I immediately rush to the ensuite bathroom, to go wash up and remove all traces of him from my lips.

After a horrid night full of tossing and turning, I wake up from the few hours i actually slept and turn off my alarm clock.

I turn and look towards the window.

My fingers going to touch my lip, as if to ascertain if what i'm thinking occurred in a dream, or if it actually happened in real life.

The small sting at the touch of my fingers tips confirms to me what my mind has failed to comprehend and rationalize.

That stupid, selfish, arrogant bastard. My heart swells with anger and frustration.

I spent most of the night wondering what in the hell possessed Sebastian to do such a thing to me...and the more i thought about it, the more i realised that what happened last night, didn't come from nowhere, it was many years in the making.

I started to go over every detail of our past, and it has even given me a headache.

The times i would visit here over the years, he was always very strict and critical of me more than he was of Sofia, i never understood why. Even the way he would always look at me, i thought it was hate or dislike...but now i wonder if it was something else.

Lately, i have justified his actions and antagonism with me, to the fact that i discovered his Affair with Sofia's Mom, but now, i'm not so sure anyway.

'I'm just getting started...your move' He had said.

How do i even tell Mom something like this?

But i have to tell her, whether she is ready to hear it or not, she deserves to know the kind of man she is married to.

Maybe i can call a family meeting and go.

'Hey, guess what your father and husband did to me last night, he freaking bit my lip and pretty much my assaulted me, then threaten me that it was just the beginning.
