Runaway Return

chapter two

Marisela

Waiting for the doctor to arrive was like waiting for paint to dry. In any case, forever. It was nearly a whole bloody day until he arrived. He checked me over from head to toe. Announced I'm as fit as I can be after what I've been through and can start to do day to day things once again, I feel a slight smile tug at my lips with him saying this. It felt refreshing, not that my life is that amazing or exciting anyways. Just that small of normal is nice.

"Luca, I'm going out today. I'm taking Larisa with me for a walk."

I say determined my little peach needs some fresh air she's been cooped up inside just like myself, she will probably embrace the breeze just like me. I know he's going to say no. Which is why I told him instead of asking him, I will just go. I'm not even going to listen to a fucking word he's going to say.

"No."

With that, I stretch all my limbs- climbing out of my bed. I reach towards the bathroom. Slowly removing my clothes I head to the shower, the water is so welcoming I could stand here for hours. Doing all the necessary bits and bobs I exit the bathroom to find my clothing for the day. Funnily enough, I find a tracksuit set in all honesty I know I'm going to be comfortable in this and it's practical. He's going to hate it, but I don't care in the slightest.

With that, I proceed on getting dressed. I pull my long arse hair up into a ponytail, damn I need a hair cut. Maybe that's something that could complete today? Who knows.

"Ouch, Luca that fucking hurts. Please let go. You're going to mark me."

"Which part of no does that pretty little head of yours is not understanding?"

"All of it I think, now please let go of me. I'm going out, I didn't ask I told you. I need to, ive lost track when i last left this crazy place."

"I said no and that's final. I don't trust you or anyone out there for that matter. I wish you would stop challenging me on these things and just bloody listen for once in your damn life."

"I don't care. I'm leaving if i come back well thats a different matter. Maybe you should just trust me for once and see what the outcome maybe?"

"Trust you, look where that got me in the past? You fucking ran away don't you remember. Pregnant with MY child may I add- which could have been the future heir?"

Damn he can't get over that can he. Maybe he needs some sort of therapy for the past? The words are just there on the edge of my tongue. I let them slip back in for now. I'm going to win this fight end of, if not for me but for my children we cant carry on living like this its not right at all. Anyone in there right mind would know that anyways.
With that I brace myself, i decide to ignore what venom hes just decided to spit out of his mouth, his words mean nothing anymore. Just noise in the background. I carry Larisa down the stairs finding her pram along the way I place her in making sure she wrapped up nice and snug. Can't have her getting ill or getting moaned at for being a shitty mother. Giving him more reasons to go crazy.

I push the doors open with full force, the gush of the wind takes me back for a few seconds but i decide to just go with it. It cant be that bad surely putting on a brave face i push myself forward. I notice the guards just glaring at me, they looked shocked. Probably don't know how to act as it's been so long since I walked through these doors, they probarly think ive had permission from Luca when in full fact i bloody havent and not planning on neither.  I proceed to struggle down the steps with the pram but I make it. Proud of myself i must say, with that I continue to push. Nothing is going to stop me now or getting in my way. When i know im just lying to myself of course hes going to be arriving soon he wouldnt just let me go, out of his bloody sight. No one can be that silly not even myself.

"STOP"

Of course, here we fucking go.

Huh?

"I SAID FUCKING STOP"

I know that voice but am I going to listen to it fuck no. I'm getting my little freedom back, even if it meant he wanted me to take hundred guards with me Id fucking would just to be free from the mansion even for just an hour.

I scream back at him.

"I SAID FUCKING NO."
My throat feels like a cat has just scratched my throat.

"I'm warning you Ella, you've got five seconds to return to this house before things get real crazy your choice."

Five seconds, Hm five seconds to run to that gate and be free? Or five seconds to return to my cage. I think I choose option one.

With that I get the pace up, I'm surprised Larisa doesn't fly out of her pram. Imagine that what an awful mother I would be. Jesus. She's secure I know she is I wouldn't be so cruel. I could never live with myself if something happened to her ever.

"Five"

"Four"

Slight pause, i question myself to turn around but i decide against it. I'm on a mission nothing is going to stop me. I race towards the gates just as I'm about to pull the bolt...

"Three"

"Two"

"ONE"

Silent.

"BANG... BANG"

Fuck!!! The pain, the fucking pain.
