The Mogul's Intense Adoration

Chapter 22

Arianna

Puffing out smoke out of his lips, Robert walks inside the atrocious warehouse where I had been staying since last seven months. "Hi baby," he gives me a peck on my rims and looks through the papers that one of my bodyguards had placed ten minutes ago on the table. "Robert can I ask you something?" He nods not removing his eyes from the papers. "The Fucking bastard!" He mutters and directs his eyes to me still thoughtful on what he was reading.

"Why did you lie to Allen that you were non nympholepsic towards me?" Dropping the stack of papers on the table he pulls his head back and lands to a full blown laughter. "I love your innocence sweet girl." He pinches my cheek, opens a bottle of wine and poured himself a drink. "I lusted you all the time but did not not love you unlike you did." He makes a mewing sound with his lips in a mock pity. Moving forward he drops the ash of the cigarette between his fingers in an ash tray and places it between my lips. "Didn't you still understand my game after staying here for so long a time?" He plays the hair falling on my face and I move away from his touch in aversion.  "I wanted to win the confidence of your husband and that is why I lied to him. Otherwise why would he send you with my sister?"

"You bastard, I wanted to end my life going against the marriage of my father's will because I loved you but you turned out to be hankering goat." My hands struck him so hard that blood oozed out of his lips. "How dare you slap me, you soiled whore." He tries to hit me back but I escape his hand bowing my head down and glared at him like a sun ball. "My father loved me so much but I didn't care and went against his wishes wanting to wed you instead." I poked on his chest with my forefinger collecting an unfathomable courage. "But you destroyed me for trusting you. You used me up like a whore. You are a heartless beast with no humanity." I spat my words at him with venom.

The long controlled tears ran out of my eyes in rivulets but he had the least bit of pity. He raises his hand to bang me for a devil that he actually was but I stop him once again revolting a heart of iron. "Not any more." I catch his hand on the way and shake my head to him in a warning whisper. "Do you want to know how I got this courage that I did not have all this while?"

I wipe my tears away and replicate the laughter that he had moments ago. He stares at me awestruck. "I read what is there in those papers." I tell pointing to the stack resting on the table. "You bitch" He grinds his teeth and slapped me across my face. I could taste my blood but I did not stop in declaring the reality to the foolish rogue. "I knew the capability of my husband." I point the papers with my eyes. "He is your death, coming after you like an irrevocable curse."

"I like your speech." He pats my shoulder and pulls out a pocket knife from the back side of his pants running the tip on my cheek. I hiss in pain as blood comes out of my cheek in streams. "You will die a dog's death. Your termination is going to be extremely brutal. Forcing a woman is a sin. Paramount when she is someone else's belonging, hankering her is a transgression that will ultimately turn to your ruination." I yell and spat on his face. "You stinking rat!" He wipes my spit pulling out a handkerchief and smacks on my knee with his leg. I fall to the ground with my knees first hitting the floor yet I gather my last ounces of energy and speak to him in deterrence. "A day shall come when you will repent the moment you came out of your mother's womb." My words were only a whisper but enough loud for him to hear the caution behind.

My tears were endless but I did not care anymore for the brutal blows he was landing upon me. Over a period of time I had gone immune of his hits. He locks me in my room. "No food for this arrogant bitch today." He notifies the bodyguards standing at the entrance and leaves the warehouse but not before giving me another toot on my stomach with his shoe clad leg. The guards look at me in compassion but nonetheless take their position with the gun in their hands on either side of the gateway.

My body felt weak after suffering the abuse. One of the security comes inside and helps me with a few balls of cotton and some antiseptic lotion. I treat my bruises with shivering hands as he goes inside the washroom to prepare me a warm bath. "You shouldn't have gone against him." He tells me in a whisper wiping the tears of my eyes. I wince at his touch and he shook at me with pity. "I will never hurt you, you are like a sister to me."

I take a wavering breathe. "He will hurt you, Hudson if he comes to know you are helping me."  He sighs looking down at me with pitiful eyes. "He wouldn't know unless you inform him. I will take care of the matter." He assures. "Sam is going out to get you some spaghetti. Do you require some coffee or something else to drink in addition to it." My head feels dizzy as I walk to the closet to pull out some night wear. "I don't have any energy to sleep with anyone today." I tell him going helpless. "I understand." He holds my cheek in anguish. "Don't worry, I will find some way. Nobody will disturb you today night."

He gets up from the bed and walks back to the door but suddenly turns back, his eyes lightening up like crackers during the new year. "I have a plan for you to escape from here." My eyes jolt up to him in anticipation but go dull the next second.  "That could be very risky, Robert wouldn't hesitate to kill you once he comes to know the truth." Hudson smiles running his hand through my hair. "That is only when I give him a chance to attack me. I already told you, you are like my sister. Ten minutes later Sam will go out to get us dinner. He will reach back before  fifteen minutes and that will be our clue to escape. Are you okay with the plan?"

I twitch my lips going more worried. "Why do you want to beget trouble for yourself in saving me?" He took my hand in his. "I already told you the reason. Come on princess, take your bath fast and let us get out of this dirty place. I will be waiting for you outside." He winks and closes the door behind him.

As per our expectation Sam was gone. I and Hudson get out of the lion's den in a thrill of freedom. Soon after stepping outside I look around breathing the fresh air of nature. It has been a very long banishment.  I stop and close my eyes for a second in refreshing tingle. I was free now like a bird out of its cage. I feel I am now blessed with a new life. I step out of the disdainful place with high spirits and brightest smile taking the hand of Hudson.

After one hour of sweaty tiresome walk, we could finally see the highway. Hudson huffs out a breathe and looks at me with a victorious smile. "Finally you are out." He brings out a few bills from his pant pocket and hands them over to me. "This will take care of you till you reach your husband." He turns around walking to a garage that was on the other side of the road.

I stop him holding his arm. "What are you going to do now? You lost your job because of me and..." He put his finger on my lips. "Shh! Stop worrying princess." He points to the board of the car station on the opposite. "That is my destination. I am going to buy a second hand car and drive to Miami international airport. From there I am going to fly to Cuba. My brother lives there. I will stay with him for some time and find a job." He sizes me with a twinkle on his features and gives me a high five. "Now is that a convincing explanation to you?"

I nod going to a bright smile as he pulls my cheek. "That's my beautiful sister." I hug him and hold up the bills he just gave me. "I can never ever forget the help you rendered to me."
