arranged love

Aria's POV:

I felt someone's weight crushing me as I looked down to see grey's head in between my breasts and his hands holding me tight against his body

I could feel his other head too-

Shut up

You shut up

I ran my hands through his soft hair to which he replied to with a grunt as he positionned himself comfortably on my body caressing my sides

He wiggled a bit causing me to let out a painful sigh when he placed his head on my stomach

he got off me so quickly and worry filled his eyes

"Are you okay?! I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

He stopped talking as his eyes landed on my ribs and stomach

His breath got stuck in his throat as he looked me up and down and murmured

Grey's POV:

"who did this to you?" I groaned lowly

she looked me in the eyes as I was daring her to lie to my face as she uttered her next sentence

"N-no one, I-I don't even know how it got here, really" she let out a forced laugh

I was angry at the sight

Angry that anyone could think that they could lay a hand on my wife and get away with it

I let out a humourless laugh

"You..don't know how it got here? Are you seriously expecting me to believe this bullshit when you have bruises the size of my head on your fucking stomach?!"

"How couldn't I have seen them before? I bathed you Aria! How could I have been this blind?"

She tried approaching me as I moved back my back colliding with the headrest

"Stop moving, don't fucking walk away now!"

At her words, I allowed myself to look at her as I felt guilt flooding through my body

She's been here for what 3 weeks?

And someone already raped her and now she has bruises appearing on her body

I was ruining her life

It was my fault

I didn't realise I was crying until she started kissing each one of my tears away

I pulled her in my lap as I started inspecting the bruises

They really looked fresh

Not more than a day

but how?

"please tell me who did this to you baby" I pleaded

She interlaced our fingers together as she spoke

" My father"

I clenched my jaw motionning for her to continue as she fiddled with my fingers

"He used to be a good guy you know, but as times changed I don't know he just s-stopped I guess and then he started drinking and cheating on mom and as the list went on he started abusing me, calling me names and even sending his friends in to mollest me when I was still a child. I just needed a father you know and he really made my wish impossible with the way he acted towards me and everyday he used to remind me that I was a whore and the things went on .I-I knew I couldn't fight back because he'd ruin me so I stayed with him helping to do his dirty work and yeah" she let out a humourless chuckle
