Trapped In Your Love

29

Ella jolted up the moment she woke up, remembering what had happened the other day. She was in her old bedroom, confirming that it wasn't just a nightmare but harsh reality she had to face. Her hands came to her almost invisible baby bump, her breathing calmed down a bit after she realised that her child was safe, with her.

Her eyes searched for Augustus who seemed to be missing, thinking she dreamed about it too, she got out of the bed, making her way to the bathroom. She hated the fact that she was here, stuck in this situation.

Her eyes widened when she looked at herself in the mirror, her hands made their way to her swollen lips, confirming that it wasn't her dream, Augustus really was there with her the other night. Scared to think about the consequences if Jayden saw this, Ella just tried everything to cure her swollen lips.

It was evening and Ella had been left in the room, it was locked and there was no way for Ella to escape, she even thought to jump from the balcony which was thankfully open for some ventilation, but thinking of the child she carried she dismissed the thought. Whatever the situation, Ella just didn't want to hurt her child.

She was starving as she wasn't even given a meal and the last meal she had was lunch from the other day, she was provided with a jar of water, which she was using wisely as she wasn't sure of how long she was going to be trapped in here. She just wanted to go out, away from Jayden, into Augustus' arms with their child, safe and secure. She even tried banging on the door, calling for help but it did nothing except give her a really dry throat.

Ella was on the verge of passing out from tiredness and hunger when the door burst open revealing Jayden, he had a different and cold facade on, nothing like she had ever seen in the 10 months they had been engaged.

"You're up." He said not really bothering to change his hurtful tone.

"Come on, we have a wedding to shop for." He said grabbing her wrist and dragging her down to the car.

Ella shook her head, she didn't have enough strength to defy or fight him and even yelling at him was a power required task for her. She didn't want any of this, she didn't want to be Jayden's in the first place, she never wanted things to become so difficult between her, Augustus, Amber, Jayden. Never. She never wanted to be betrayed by the girl she considered her best friend. She never expected to fall for Augustus King out of all people, never did she think that her wedding day would change the lives if many. And never, ever, in her wildest dreams did she think that she would be carrying Augustus' child, while she was deeply in love with him.

Sitting in the car while Jayden was driving Ella tried to keep her tears under control, however, she was unable to do so, her strength had faltered as she saw how her life was turning upside down again, infront of her eyes and she could do nothing, again.

"You don't have any option. Either you accept this or you die." Jayden said with a sigh as he watched Ella crying. He didn't love her, he never did, but she was fun to play with. He would have loved to see her break after their wedding but all his plans were messed up by his brother. Augustus, that man was better at everything, business, getting all the girls, having a successful life. He was everything Jayden could only think of becoming, and when Augustus finally had Ella, it drove Jayden mad.

To Jayden Ella was a person who could be easily suppressed, he was happy to make himself and others believe that even he had a dominant personality. But Augustus stole that from him, he took the woman who was supposed to be Jayden's puppet. He was adamant on getting Ella back because she was the only one who he could be dominant and angry and aggressive with. To him, she was the perfect puppet and he wasn't letting his puppet go anywhere, especially to his brother.
