Chapter 85
“Come on, Kira, just take a bite, Aston said, his voice laced with persuasion and sarcasm as he held out a forkful of food. If he wasn’t Aston who had ruined my life a million times over and over again. Had sex with me and made me feel like a fool a d then proceeded to call me a s***t and accuse me of sleeping with his brother without any reasonable claim. If I wasn’t aware of this Aston, I would have been deceived by how nice he was acting towards me.
I had no idea why he was contradicting himself with all these behaviours, he made it clear that he hated me. He also made it clear that he was bored and that he was just toying with me so I guess that was why.
His eyes gleamed with a knowing intensity, as if he was certain I wouldn’t be able to resist his charm. It was like he knew that I was attracted to him in the way that I should not but I really hoped that he didn’t know. I hoped that I didn’t make it too obvious because if it did show how much I was attracted to him and wanted to touch me all the time, then my life was going to be so much more than a living hell than it already was.
I stood firm, my arms crossed over my chest, my feet planted wide apart, an action that was completely unnecessary but I felt would make me feel more confident and for some reason, it helped.
“No, Aston. I’m not eating.” I spoke with a resolve I didn’t feel, my heart racing with anticipation. I wondered what his response would be, if I should make a run for it or continue pretending to be confident.
Aston raised an eyebrow, his expression a mask of innocence. “What do you mean? You’re my personal maid. It’s your duty. to obey me.” He took a step closer, his voice low and menacing. He had a low growl that meant that I didn’t have a lot more chances before he pounced on me but instead of just listening, continued to pretend to ne strong
Istood my ground, my voice steady, “I don’t want to be your maid anymore, Aston. I want to be free to make my own choices.” I spoke the words with a conviction I didn’t feel, my heart heavy with the weight of my situation. I didn’t know why. I was spewing this all of a sudden like he was just going to open the door and let me leave because I asked politely. I needed to stop shamelessly begging for him to let me leave randomly but I could not help it, it was the only thing that I could think of; getting out of this place.
Aston’s eyes narrowed, his face darkening with anger. “You’d rather be locked up like you used to be? You know, for your own good?” His voice was laced with frustration that I could not understan, the threat hanging in the air like a challenge. Like he was begging for me to just dare him.
My heart sk**ed a beat at the threat, my mind racing with memories of the small, dark room I had been imprisoned in for so long. But I remained silent, my eyes fixed on Aston’s face.
Aston took another step closer, his eyes gleaming with triumph, I thought so. Now, eat.” He held out the fork again, his
voice firm
I hesitated, my resolve weakening. My stomach growled with hunger, my body craving the sustenance I had been denying it for so long. Finally, I took a small bite, the flavours bitter on my tongue. How would I would be able to enjoy a meal in front of the man 1 hated the most and wanted to get the hell
away from?
As we ate, Aston suddenly asked, “Does Brax even feed you? You look thinner than usual. His voice was laced with concern, but I knew better.
I bristled at his concern, my eyes flashing with anger. “Mind your own business, Aston And stop caring about me so much.” I spoke the words with a venom I didn’t feel, my heart heavy with so much annoyance at this st**id situation.
Aston-chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “Any girl would kill to be cared for by me. But you…you’re not like other girls, are you?” He spoke the words with a knowing intensity, as if he had seen into the depths of my soul but we both knew that he was just trying to get a rise out of me so he could get a reason to punish me, not that he needed one anyway. He could decide to punish me anyway.
I met his gaze, my eyes flashing. “No, I’m not. And I don’t want to be.”
Aston’s smile grew wider, his eyes gleaming with triumph. “Oh, but you’re worse than them. You’re so much
more…interesting” He spoke the words, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
I felt a shiver run down my spine at his words, my heart racing with anticipation. But I remained silent, my eyes fixed on Aston’s face. I wondered how it was that his words could make my heart race when I hated this much, especially because I knew that he was lying through his teeth
“You’re going to need to do a little better than that.” He said pointing at the food that I was toying with. I could not seem to digest the food, I was just picking at the food with zero appetite.
“Did you hear what I said?” he repeated and I tried to c**g the food down but if I forced it anymore, I could throw up and I could not add to the list of embarrassing things that I had already done in front of Aston.
“I can’t eat any more, I’m full.” I said expecting a earful but I did not get one.
“That’s fine. I don’t expect you to get fat in one day.” He responded and I didn’t understand the look on his face. The look that he gave me was so hard to interpret, I just didn’t get it but I didn’t care either. I just needed to leave. I was glad that he didn’t intend to get me all chubby in a day and now I was just waiting for him to ask me to leave but he was not saying anything, just staring at me and making me uncomfortable in my seat.
“So can I go now?” I asked offering to take the plates to the kitchen but he just waved his fingers and asked a maid to clear his plates.
I was fighting the urge to scream at him and just run away until was behind closed doors
“What do you need me to do now?” I asked calmly not wanting to trigger anything that would annoy me.
He ignored me like he could not hear the words that I was saying. He was quiet. He stared like he could see through my soul.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
After what seemed like an eternity, he finally, he ordered. “Come massage my shoulders. I’ve had a long day” His voice was firm, his eyes gleaming with mischief that I wanted to have no hand in.
But I refused, my voice firm. “No, Aston. I won’t.” I spoke the words with fake a*** confidence. His request was weird and touching him was going to do things to me my body didn’t approve off.
Aston’s eyes narrowed, his face darkening with anger. “What did you say?” he growled, his voice low and menacing.
I stood my ground, my heart racing with fear. “I said no, Aston. I won’t massage your shoulders. I won’t be your maid. anymore and you can get anyone else to do this for you, why does it have to be me??
Aston’s eyes flashed with anger, his face reddening with rage. “You dare to defy me?” he spat, his voice venomous, “You’re nothing without me, Kira. Nothing. And you’ll do as I say, or suffer the consequences.”
I trembled with fear, my heart racing with anticipation. I knew what the consequences would be. I had suffered them before. But I refused to back down. I refused to be his maid, his prisoner, his plaything. I wanted to be free.
“I won’t do it, Aston,” I said, my voice firm. “I won’t be your maid anymore. I want to be free.”
Aston’s face turned purple with rage, his eyes bulging with fury. Fine,” he spat, his voice venomous. “You want to be free? You want to defy me? Then you’ll suffer the consequences.
His words sent a cold chill down my spine and I wondered if I was going to be able to run past the guards without getting caught. He was starting me hard in the eyes, his eyes not leaving mine for one second,
Panic.
Complete panic.
