Chapter 8

•MARJORIE•

I basically just proclaimed what I feel about him in about 6 words. "I want to be yours too..." played over and over again into my mind as we kissed passionately. I suddenly broke the kiss feeling quite dazed.

"Marjorie, I want you to go out with me." he said.

"Could you... give me some time?" I said hesitantly. I didn't want the secrets I held so dear to me, to keep us from each other.

"Of course, bella" When he caressed my face, I automatically melted into his touch and almost surrendered to his every will, but something that haunted me held me back.

"Thank you Alonzo" I said with tears welling up in my eyes, as I think back to that horrifying life I ran away from.

Before he could say anything more, I quickly dashed into my room and shut the door.. As I crashed onto my bed the tears that welled up inside of me came pouring out. But I soon drifted off into a deep sleep...

*Flashback*

"No! STOP!"

"You will learn, you little Bitch. You will learn, never to leave me ever again." He says and he constantly lashes her with his drunken hands.

With each blow she seems to grow deeper and deeper into self conciousness.

"Please, I beg of you Please PLEASE." she whimpers as he continues to beat her.

And then he abruptly stops, caresses her face, and says,

"I want you NOW." and with that he rips her under garments off with one tug and proceeds to step out of his slacks. While she tries to make a getaway, he picks her up and pins her to the wall.

"You can NEVER escape me Marjorie." He growls into her ears as he pounds into her. "You're my own little personal whore. If you leave I'll always find you.."

"No! AHH! Please don't do- Uhhh..." She whimpers as he thrusts harder and harder with each cry of hurt from her.

"You're MINE. DO YOU HEAR ME?! MINE!! SAY IT!"

"Noo, Please..." she cries

*Smack*

"SAY *Smack* IT!!"

"No, No, NO, NOOOO! NOOOOOOO....."

*End of Flashback*

"Marjorie! MARJORIE!" A deep voice wakes me out of my nightmarish slumber...

Until I realize who it was that was holding me, I thrash about. Kicking, Screaming, and Biting.

"Marjorie, it's me Alonzo. It's me, It's me." His soothing voice says.

When I hear his voice, I break down. Loud sobs fill the room, as my tears drop onto his bare chest. He cradles me into his arms and holds me close to him.

"I'm sooo sorry Alonzo, my mind is in a different place and I'm finding out that if I don't tell you some of the things that are killing me inside, I will never know what it feels like to have you. But I don't know yet."

"Marjorie, whatever you have to tell me... you can tell me when you're ready. But for now, I can't leave you here by yourself. I'm staying here." he says making me feel reassured.

"Thank you Alonzo." was all I could manage to get out.

He then laid right beside me, and turned my body towards him.

"Goodnight bella." he said as he gently placed his hand on the curve of my hip.

"Goodnight Alonzo." I said. Drifting off into a dreamless sleep...

The Next Morning

As I open my eyes, a beautiful sight envelops my eyes. Waking up to Marjorie could be something I'll be looking forward to. Then the scene of last night comes rushing back to me.

I felt that something might be off with her, but I decided to leave her be, but to sleep in the room next to hers instead of mine.

Although my walls are pretty thick I could still hear her thrashing, and her shrill screams from the next room. It was then that I realized that Marjorie had something she was hiding from me.

When I picked her up, she started biting, and kicking. When her beautiful eyes met mine, she sobbed uncontrolably.

After that, she fell asleep, I watched her for what seemed like hours, complimenting her body. My hands wanted to roam freely without restrictions, but I knew I would have to have her permission first.

As Marjorie wakes up, her hands unconciously brush down my chest. Before I could get aroused, I grabbed her hand and kissed her up her arm.

"Goodmorning bella, ti senti meglio cara?" {Do you feel better dear?}

"Yes, I do Merci Alonzo... Per tutto.{for everything} And I think I'm ready to tell you now, but just in a formal manner... Later today, Okay?" She whispered.

"Prendete tutto il tempo necessario belle. {Take all the time you need beautiful.} I'll be waiting for you." I take her face in my hands, knowing that she would melt into my hands. She looks up at me and her eyes are filled with wonder and a hint of love.

"Merci Alonzo, let me get ready for the day." she says, awkwardly getting up and heading for the bathroom.

"Okay, I'll see you downstairs?" I ask

"Yes you will."

And at that I bolt down the stairs to meet our chef.

"Goodmorning Dania, can you whip Miss Émelie up a nice breakfast before you prepare mine? I want her to relax today.

"Ohh I see, of course Mr. Pellegrino. I'll whip up something special for her."

Dania Regalo was a family friend and an amazing chef, so it made perfect sense for me to hire her as my personal chef. Although she was going into her 50's, she still has her spunk.

"Thank you so much." I say rushing up to get ready for the day as well. As much as I didn't want to leave Marjorie here alone, I had to work.

When I came out of the bathroom, I left a note for Marjorie. I clothed myself, and I was out the door...
