Survival Journey 18+ ON-HOLD

Neil Fucking Departure

¶Aiyla PoV¶

I've been smothering Neil with so much phoney love to make him believe in me for the past few weeks that I've finally started loving him with a pure heart.

I was sick to my stomach pretending to love him; his touches were like serpent poison to me, making me and my body writhe in misery from within. He repulsed me to the core, and I despised being in his presence.

I tried to stay away from him and his touches, but he always found a reason to touch me or hold my hand; there were times when he tried to have sex with me, but he never got the chance. I guess God was blessing me and protecting me from this so-called evil devil at this time.

Till now everything was going according to our plan; Ronin and I had split up for the show, and I had caught Neil to repay the misery and cruelty he had inflicted on me over the years, and I had succeeded in convincing him that there was nothing between me and Ronin any longer.

Neil was satisfied and happy to learn that Ronin and I had broken up, and he always had this smug disgusting smile on his face, as if he had won, and I smile evilly every time, thinking how stupid he can be, but what he doesn't know is that it's what we made him believe and how flawlessly he fell into our trap.

"Keep smiling and be proud of yourself, Neil; your demise is approaching, and I will avenge myself in one fast move that will grieve your life on this planet."

"Just wait and see; I'm coming for you, and I promise you and myself that you will regret being born." I'm just counting down the days till I can make him pay for his crimes.

I hated Neil's presence and despised the day I met him for the first time; if I could, I'd go back to the moment I met him and everything began, but I knew that wasn't possible, so I had no choice but to move on with my life.

I despised how deliberately time was going these days, and still, 5 days remained till his departure, 5 days remain for my vengeance and 5 days remain for my independence but within these past weeks, every minute I spent with him was tough for me to breathe and abide by.

Because my wounds had not healed and I was still having difficulty moving due to Neil's harsh punches on my stomach, I stayed at Cassie and Debbie's house. Fortunately, I did not have a broken rib. Ronin was content and comfortable, knowing that I was secure, sound, and well-cared for.

In this position, Neil was at a disadvantage because he was not accepted at Cassie and Debbie's home, which made Ronin relax a little as well but he was also anxious knowing that I was yet to be free from Neil's paw and he was also counting the days to dig him six feet under the ground and to make him pay for his crimes.

After the sisters and Ronin discovered me in a savage state, they took me to one of their friends' clinics for a check-up and to avoid the further complication of being reported to the police by doctors in the hospital for severe abuse and violence, Neil's punishment would be very light under the law here. As a result, their friend was the only one who could keep everything secret and quiet.

It was a critical moment for me and Ronin, and we had to be cautious at every turn since we still felt like Neil was watching my every move, and one incorrect move could derail our plan.

We hadn't met since I carried out my plan, and we were missing each other. The only way we could communicate was at night, through a video call from the cell phone Ronin had given me before we parted ways.

By regularly communicating with his contacts in Dubai and refining every element of our strategy, Ronin ensured that everything was in order. They were planning a massive game that would be extremely dangerous for both of them, but his stranger friend ensured that everything will go according to plan and that their names will not be revealed.

I still have no idea who that guy is with whom Ronin communicates; his face is unfamiliar to me, but I honestly don't care who he is; yet, he was a lifesaver for me at this point, and I will be eternally thankful. Maybe someday I will be able to meet him and thank him in person.

As the days progressed, I felt more upset and frustrated at having to pretend to love Neil; it was causing me internal pain. However, I was relieved to learn that there were only three days until his departure and that it was only after his departure that I could relax and live my life as I desired, as well as fulfil all of my hidden dreams and wishes.

I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and now, finally, I can be immune like I used to be when Neil wasn't in my life. I was free to do anything I wanted, go wherever I wanted with my wonderful friends, and make my own decisions about my life and career.

You know, I told Neil about my dreams...dreams of pursuing my further studies abroad, and the audacity of that fucking asshole outright shouted at me, telling me I wasn't allowed to go abroad and that I had to finish my studies here in Santa Blanc. I was stunned. I was fuming with rage at how he could have such power over my life; who the fucking hell did he think he was to force me to do something I didn't want to do, what a fucking manipulative filthy creature he is.

After 3 days, he will no longer be in my life, and I will be more than happy to pursue my other dreams...dreams of continuing my education abroad.

I despise Neil with every fibre of my being; he is unworthy of happiness or love, and he should be castrated and condemned to hell.

Finally, Aiyla is mine entirely. I would have done it sooner if I had known that all it takes is a good beating to have her love me completely.

I knew a meek girl lurked behind her strong exterior, but I have to admit she is a fighter and a warrior who, despite having been broken so many times, still stood up for herself and fought for her freedom. Little did she know I was a devil in disguise, and she was my angel, pure and kind-hearted, and all mine to crush.

"And the Devil despises pure and good-hearted people, or should I say, angels." A malicious grin spread across my face as I considered how much more I could or would damage her wings and imprison her for the rest of her life. She has no idea what terrible schemes I have in store for her once we marry.

But I'm still perplexed as to how she could change so drastically and welcome me when the Aiyla I know has never done so. I just hope she's not lying to me, but I'm ready to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Finally, today is Neil's flight to Dubai, and finally, it's time to put our plan into action. Finally, it's time to get revenge on Aiyla, laughing evilly to myself,  Neil has no idea what awaits him at Dubai airport.

Aiyla will finally have her retribution and be free. He'll also be surprised to find out who's behind it all.

"Watch out Neil, I'm coming for you; you forced me to do it, and I don't or won't regret it." As I wait for him to leave, I'm evilly grinning to myself.
