Binding Scars

Chapter 13

Allison couldn't tell just how long she had sat there while her thoughts ate up on her. She couldn't tell what was going on in her head either, but the twist and turn of her door seemed to bring her back from whichever place her mind wondered.

Niles came into sight and her stomach swelled as anger resided in her. Everything that had happened hours before washed up in her head and she turned her head to look away from him.

"Leave." She quietly said, but Niles didn't move from standing right by the bed. A few steps away from her, his eyes lingered on her a little longer not saying a word.

"Niles, I told you to leave. Go!"

Her voice broke revealing the anger and frustration within her. When he didn't move but remain in the same position, maintaining the same stance. She let herself walk toward him with rage building up. Her hands found his chest and she pushed him back, when he didn't budge, she started hitting his chest.

"I hate you!" She shouted.

"I hate you! I hate you! I hate-"

Her own breath locked on her and she drew in a long gasp. A tear trailed on her face, and she let herself fall to the floor on her knees and cried.

"You don't own me. You'll never own me! I'll never be yours, to have or to keep. I'll-"

His hand found her chin and he made her look at her. Her eyes bloodshot, vulnerable yet again in front of a man who didn't care at all. She hated it, somehow, he had broken down all her defenses and now he could hurt her heart. Not just her body or torture her mind, he had found a way to her heart, and he was tearing it apart.

"I decide." He replied.

"Whether to have you or to keep you- I decide." He added.

Allison tore herself away from him, standing up she pushed her hair away from her face.

"You might as well kill me then."

"I don't have to kill you amore, as long as I have leverage against you. You are bound to this house and to the man who owns it, and I will use you as I please."

She wanted to scream but she didn't. Instead, her face broke out in shock as she took in the words painfully in. The lump in her throat ached more as she watched him coldly turn to finally leave the room, but he stopped.

"While at it, stop flirting with my business associates."

"He's twice the man, you'll ever be."

"Then he will have to watch again, won't he?"

"You son of a bitch-"

"Watch your words."

He warned, calm but with danger laced in his tone.

"So what? You will fuck me in front of every man that looks at me?"

"Yes! Matter of fact, I will fuck you everywhere that I want to because I own you-"

She couldn't take it, every word he said felt like he was spitting on her face, but she wasn't letting it go. Her heart ached every single time he said a word, each getting more worse than the other.

She scoffed bitterly in disbelief.

"You've turned me into a murderer now I am promoted into a house slut?"

He stared at her, carrying the same bare expression that has become ordinary in him. He didn't reply, he just turned and walked out of the door that he had come. She had tears but she didn't let herself cry. The fastest to escape she wiped it off and remained numb to every word that Niles had said since he walked in.
