She Is The He-Devil's Property

Chapter nineteen:

                            ~Rosia Banks~

The same dream that I've been having every night, a guy yelling and threatening to kill us if we don't show up and running in the dark through the bushes. Mom yelling "Run Rosia, Run!" over and over again.

I woke up screaming so hard as I relived my tormenting past just like every other night. The door shut open revealing Ashton as he came running over to me.

"Are you okay?" He asked putting his mop two hands on my cheeks. I simply nodded, relieved that I was in the safest hands. "Look at me! Are you sure you're okay?" He asked lifting my face to look at him.

"Yes I'm okay! It was just a bad dream I had." I replied.

"What was it about?" He asked sitting next me.

I suddenly felt goosebumps all over me and shivers running down my back. "My past."

"What happened in the dream that had to do with your past?" He shifted closer.

"All I remember is running in the dark in the bushes and hearing gunshots. A man yelling my moms name and threatening to kill us." I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

I turned away from Ashton so that he doesn't see me crying. I've always hated crying in front of people.

"Shit." He cursed.

I tried hiding the fact that I was crying but I couldn't hold back the tears that I've been keeping.

"Do you always have the same nightmare?" He asked trying to get me to look at him but I didn't want him to see me crying.

"When I was a little girl, I'd have the same dream every night until my mom took me to the doctor. The doctor prescribed me with special pills that help me sleep at night but I don't have my pills here with me." I wiped a tear.

"Shit!" He muttered under his breath.

He scratched the back of his neck as he was thinking of a way to help.

"Uhm... we usually keep a few pills in the kitchen, let me go check."

Ashton went to the kitchen to get pills for me and was back within a minute. He handed me a glass of water and two pills.

"I made you some camomile tea." He handed me the cup of tea.

"Thank you." I replied. As I took a few sips of tea, I noticed that he was shirtless revealing his abs and muscular arms. The moonlight shone through the curtains and highlighted spots of his tanned skin. God help me!

"How are you feeling now?" He asked putting the glass of water on the sidetable. "Much better and more relaxed." I sighed finishing my tea.

"I'm really sorry about this." He said kissing my forehead.

"I just want this nightmare to end. I wish I could just live a normal life like a normal person." I heaved a sigh.

"Don't worry...it'll all come to an end and this nightmare will be over."

"You promise?" I smiled while putting my empty cup on the bedside table.

Pulling me into a hug he politely smiled "I promise".

I yawned falling asleep and closed my eyes feeling safe in Ashton's arms. The last thing I remember was inhaling his toxic scent and my heartbeat twice as fast.

I blinked a few times, adjusting to the brightness of the sun coming through the window. I turned to look at Ashton who was sleeping so peacefully making me blush. My eyes shifted from his dreamy face to his toned body, he was sleeping on his stomach. The muscles on his back were visible.

I decided to go take a shower but his arms were wrapped around my waist making it hard for me to move. I gently tried pulling away from him but he pulled me even closer. Trying for the second time, I eventually managed to escape his muscular arms.

I undressed and quickly got into the shower, letting the water run down my hair. The water running down my hair just relaxed me and massaged my head.

I need to confront mom about this whole situation. There's a lot I don't know and most importantly who is Aiden Presley. What does he want from us? 

After rinsing the soap off, I turned off the tap and got out of the shower walking across the marble floor to get a towel. As I was drying myself, I heard someone knocking on the door. "Rosia, are you in there?" It was Ashton knocking.

"Yeah?"

"I have your changing clothes." He replied.

God I forgot that I don't have clothes. Thank god he woke up and got me some clothes otherwise that would have been a disaster.

I wrapped my towel around my body walking across the marbled floor towards the door. Hiding behind the door, I gently opened the door making sure that he could only see my face.

"I figured you might need some clothes." He gave me a dress that looked my size.

I chuckled as I noticed Ashton's cheeks burn a bright red. "Thanks."

"I'm taking you out today." He winked before leaving.

I closed the door and changed into the dress. I wonder where he's taking me. He's so mysterious.
I walked out the bathroom and looked for my phone to call mom.

"Mom?"

"Rosia! God where on earth are you?" She asked panicking. I could hear that she hadn't been sleeping all night long.

"Mom don't worry, I'm okay."

"You're going to be in so much trouble when you get here young lady! Tell me where you are?"

"I'm here with Ashton. He took me to a quiet place where I could just relax because I needed to clear my thoughts." I heaved a sigh.

I don't get why she's yelling at me when she has a whole lot to tell me.

"How could you just disappear like that, without telling me where you're going?" She asked.

"I'm sorry, I promise I'll never do it again. I just needed to clear my thoughts." I admitted.

"Okay sweetie, it's fine and I'm sorry for yelling at you...it's just I'm worried about you. If anything were to happen to you I'd never forgive myself."

I felt tears forming in my eyes but I tried holding them back. Hearing her worry so much just breaks my heart. She should be living a normal life like a normal mom and not have to worry about whether I've been kidnapped or killed by someone. I just want this whole nightmare to end. Everyday is a living hell because of this whole situation and worst part is she's hiding something from me. Sooner or later I'm going to find out.

"Don't worry about me mom , I'm safe and sound with Ashton. I'll be back tonight, okay?"

"No problem sweetie. For as long as you're safe and sound that's fine with me."

"Love you Mom." I said trying to hold back my tears.

"Love you too sweetie." She said before hanging up.

The door opened revealing Ashton who was wearing black jeans and a tight white shirt. "Who was that?" He asked walking over to me.

"That was just my mom. I told her that I'm here with you." I said trying to put on a small smile. "She must've been very worried." He replied.

"Yeah, she was pretty worried about my safety." I heaved a sigh. "Are you okay?" He asked squinting his eyes as he noticed the tears in my eyes.

"Yeah, I'm perfect." I lied.

"Ready to go?" He grabbed my hand.

I simply nodded and smiled. I wonder where he's taking me.
