Cruel love

Chapter 21 Barbara

I was walking from dinner to home, I got more late today than usual. The Saturday night rush of customers didn't let me leave early. I called Mrs. Nowak informed her that I would be late, she told me not to be worried, Lily and Liam slept already and could stay at her house for the night. I would have picked them up but I don't want to disturb Mrs. Nowak as she would have slept already. I would give her favourite cake from the bakery early in the morning when I will go to pick them up as a thank you gift. She really helps me a lot. I don't know what I would do without her.

Walking through the park. I thought somebody was following me. I turned my head a little and gave a peek from my shoulder. I saw a silhouette of a guy in the dark walking not so far away from me. My flight and fight response kicked and I started running. God why do I have to walk this late from the park. I am not going for a shortcut from now on. I may have taken excess turns just to trick the guy because I could still hear him chasing me. I turned around to see if he was still there but he was not to my surprise. I might have tricked him. I was panting from my chase. I checked once again but when I was sure I outran him I rushed towards my house which was just across the street.

I opened the door, entered the house and closed the door in record time. I was still breathless and sweaty from the run and also fear. I switched on the lights of the house and was shocked. No shocked is understatement, my soul just left my body.

Enzo was standing right in front of me. I stared at him with wide eyes and opened mouth. My body turned cold, but I could hear of fear creeping in my body. Tear filled my eyesrwady to fall but they didn't fall.

"How have you been sweetheart?" he asked. I turned around to open the door and to run away from him. But he grabbed me with one hand around my waist and other holding my cheeks. "What do you think you are doing" he asked again. His calm voice drew chills through my spine. In his grasp I could hear his heartbeat around my ear. I screamed at him "Let me go Enzo", trying to wiggle away from his hold but it was useless. "Never sweetheart, you are mine" he said almost in an almost amusing tone, like he is enjoying my struggle.

I felt so weak in his hold. Tears started falling down my eyes. He wipes them away with his thumb and twists my head to kiss me. I squeezed my lips shut in a thin line not giving him access. He licks and nibbles my lips but I didn't open. After his long attempt when I didn't open he squeezed one of my breast by the hand which was wrapped around my breast. I gasped in sudden movement. He used it to enter his tongue in my mouth. I bit his lip so hard that it started bleeding. Enzo eyes showed sudden surprise but then they turned cold.

I couldn't hold my anger and frustration anymore. I am just tired of running and hiding. I screamed at him "I hate you Enzo Russo, you took everything from me, you destroyed my life, and when I tried to start from fresh you came back again to ruin my life all over again. I just don't get it what wrong I have done in my life that you came in it to ruin it." I stared sobbing loudly with my outburst. Enzo loosened his hold and turned me around and grabbed my face in his palms brushing away my tears with his fingertips.

His touch is so gentle, so deceiving. I almost fall for his lies. A new wave of anger bursted in me. "Take me Enzo, rape me as long as you want and leave me f*cking alone."

Enzo stared at me with shock. This time his cold mask didn't came. "I don't want sex I want you sweetheart" he said in a gentle and almost pleading tone. "And I don't want you I hate you, I hate every single moment I spent with you."
