Chapter 7 - Behave Like A Real Man!
Third Person's POV:
After leaving Sapphire's apartment, Alexander got into his car to his penthouse. He was a ruthless man, cruel creature. He never cared for anyone.
Watching people begging was nothing new to him. But he didn't understand why he was feeling restless all of a sudden. It was not new that people pleaded before him to stop, cried for mercy. But he never did. He frowned deep thinking about Sapphire's state.
Apart from her being scared, begging to stop, he sensed something unusual. This strong girl was overly panicked. Her reaction was something more than scared.
He tortured many people, killed many but had never forced any girl. Every time he closed his eyes, he could see the tear-stained face of his angel.
Recalling the memory with her, he couldn't help feeling guilty. And this was the first time in his life, he was feeling guilty. He was getting... Guilt!!!
Ruthless Alexander Rodriguez was feeling guilty, whose whole world was built with brutality and bloodshed.
He decided to give her some time. His appearance and claim on her, both were overwhelming in her life. He would let her get to know him. Then he would take her away from her life and make her his for good.
Alexander's POV:
Shit!
What Did I just do to her!
She was crying! Fucking hyperventilating!
What can I do, I cannot forget her tear-stained face...He thought.
I bit her lips, made her bleed.
I just wanted to talk damnit!
But no! She had to be super stubborn and throw her limbs at me.
She wanted to get away from me. I just wanted her to understand that she was mine. There is no escape from me.
Her constant defiance and mention of her fucker boyfriend made me utterly mad. I just wanted to show her that she was mine, so I wanted to mark her.
She could only think about me, nobody else. Hate or love... her thoughts would be only about me.
But I lost control. She was so damn beautiful and innocent! Her angelic face. Her sweet vanilla scent.
Her petite body was so perfect and alluring. I think she was unaware of this fact. She was an innocent, sexy seductress. And touching her was like a drug. After kissing her, I didn't want to stop. More like I couldn't stop. Her body itself hypnotized me to explore more of it.
The women I had touched before, fucked before were not like her. They were more willing to submit themselves beneath me.
No woman could resist me, my charm.
I never thought in my dream that my angel will hate so much just to be simply touched by me.
Maybe I went too far with my angel.
She was nothing like any sluts.
She was pure. Innocent... Sacred. And I shouldn't have kissed her, touched her when she was unwilling.
Bloody Hell!
I am an asshole...How could I compare her with those sluts I fucked? Most of them were opportunists to spread their legs for me, take my dick.
How could I just act like a horny teenager pumped up with hormones?
But I think I sensed something abnormal in her today. At first, she was angry. Then it seemed like she was overly panicked.
She was hyperventilating. She was like a fish out of water.
Difficulty to breathe, trembling body.
I didn't want to think anymore. My heart was filling with guilt for the first time in life. Needles were piercing my heart.
I had seen much bloodshed, killed many but never felt any guilt, remorse.
Then why Suddenly? Why? Why?
Wait! Was she having a panic attack??!
I thought these... No this couldn't be possible... I am sure, I was not that rough with her. My thoughts were occupied with her.
The other day also, I saw her crying at the park.
Something must be wrong. I must know what is it.
From the accident of the previous day, she was already hurt. She was in so much pain that she could not even cook food for her.
I sent her food by one of my trusted workers and even threatened the orphanage manager to do a drama of sending foods and gifts.
All I did so that my angel could eat. I could not let her sleep with an empty stomach.
But what had I done today? I treated her like a savage.
Ow wait... She already had bandaged and must be in pain meds.
Damn...I am nothing but an asshole. I treated my tigress like a barbarian. She must be thinking that I was after her body.
But why she had to be that damn stubborn?
Why couldn't she just listen to me?
"Aaarrrgghhhh."
I groaned in frustration.
"Fuck!" I kicked the chair hard.
I was restless, mad.
My phone rang. It was from Loony, she told me that tomorrow
"Knight Enterprise" wanted to fix a meeting with me.
"Make it at 10 am."I hang up.
My phone rang again. Cursing loudly I picked it up.
"Hellowww, Sir. I am Kendra. How are you?" I heard a nasal womanly voice from another side. I literally cringed sitting on the couch.
"Who are you?" I asked being super annoyed.
"Umm. Sir, I am the girl you met at your mall elevator."
"So? What do you want? I queried flatly.
"Umm. Sir, if you feel lonely, I can keep you entertained all night long." She said. I internally rolled my eyes.
"Okay. Come right now, darling. Now I need a release, and I need a tight fuckhole." I remarked in a nasty tone.
"I am coming right now, Sir. Don't worry. Everyone says that I am super tight." She giggled.
What a slut!
She hung up. This girl was suspicious. She didn't even ask my address.
Thirty minutes later, my doorbell rang and opening the door, I let her in.
She was wearing a tight skimpy dress like it was more to display her body than to cover. Shameless display, worse than a whore.
Her strapless top was a bit up from showing her nipples; her miniskirt was a bit down her abdomen and ended before her upper thigh, giving a view of her ugly showy thong.
Her plastic surgery body was giving me an urge to puke. I was disgusted. I hardly held back.
But I pulled her to me and took her to the couch. I squeezed her waist very hard. She cried in pain.
"Who are you?" I asked her.
"I am Kendra, Sir. Let me be your naughty secretary tonight." She said pressing her fake boobs against my chest.
"I am asking nicely for the last time, baby. Who are you? Who sent you to seduce me?" I asked.
"No one baby. I am here myself. To play your secretary, If you want I can play haughty naughty nurse instead." she said seductively licking her lips.
The nerve of this whore! Pulling her skirt up, showing her disgusting underwear, she tried to rub against me.
I fisted her hair and pulled it behind.
"Ahh. Yeah. I like it rough." She groaned. I grabbed her throat, wrapping my hand around it. "Tell me, whore. Who sent you? Otherwise, you are gonna end up getting fucked like a bitch." I yelled. She shook her head. Tears gathered in her eyes when I choked her slightly.
"No one, sugar." She uttered somehow. I released her and pushed her on the floor. She coughed loudly.
I called my men. I was run out of my patience, I couldn't deal with this whore anymore.
"Take this whore and fuck her raw until she speaks up everything. She wanted to play secretary and nurse." I ordered them.
"Nooo. No. Sir, Don't do this. I am sent by Rippers. Let me go." She cried but it didn't touch me a bit.
"Take her and get every information out of her mouth. Do whatever you need just keep her alive. I will send her back to them." I ordered.
They left with her.
This is what I am. Ruthless. I am what all call cruel. I never blink before killing.
I needed to talk to my angel if she was alright. I didn't get enough info about her from yesterday. My worker who supposed to give me her info was not available as his wife was in labor and he suddenly rushed to the hospital.
He called me and apologized and then told me he was not able to collect her info from the morning. She didn't go to college but where she went he could not tell me. I was angry at him but could not punish him. He had his valid reason and he was always a loyal worker.
I was near the "Rofdino" area when my informer informed me that she went to "Rofdino Park". Then I decided to meet her.
What I saw, really bothered me. She was fucking crying alone sitting on a park bench, looking pale, scared.
I wanted to know why she cried, wanted to hold her, press her little body to mine.
Where did she go skipping her university classes? She wasn't somebody to miss classes without any reason.
This question bothered me. Poking my mind.
Whatever! She cried or not, she needed to know she was mine. Enough of this hide and seek. She was mine and must be mine.
I would never let her be with anybody but me. All her body, mind, should belong to me. I couldn't go soft watching her tears.
Devil mode is on again...
I decided to call her and talk to her.
After ringing twice, she finally received it in 3rd time.
"How is my angel doing? is She alright?" I asked.
"You jerk, what do you think? How should I be?" I hear teeth grinding.
"Mind your tongue, tigress. I said sorry already." I added.
"Oh! So your damn sorry makes all amends now? Why have you
Called anyway?" She questioned.
"To hear your voice."
"Cut the drama and listen to what am I saying carefully."
"Go on". I chuckled.
"The way you treated me was not a way to treat a person, let alone a girl. You don't know how to respect women. I do not have any doubt that you are a beast. But at least don't be coward. If you want to meet me, meet me like a real man. Come to me alone, not with your burly dogs. Don't let me question your manhood. If you can make me talk to you alone, like a man, then I will consider talking to you. I believe you are a man, not a coward." She stated.
With this, she hung up.
How dare she question me as a man? Consider me as a coward?
But didn't you act like a coward? You used your men to catch her.
Forget already? My memory said to me.
Okay, angel. Let's meet again. This time, only you and me. And let's give you a taste of how good of a man I am.
Oh, my angel, I can't help it when it comes to you. Soon you will be in my golden cage, then in my arms.
Sapphire's POV:
This man was a beast. But I won't give him any satisfaction. I didn't even know who he was. He barged in my house and pounced on me like a hungry animal. He may think girls are weak, but not I am one of them. Not anymore.
I won't let him get his way with me. From now on, he has to approach me. I am not a person who surrenders easily. I would rather die than to give in to a beast like him.
He will find it very soon that what he wants, he can never get it from me.
My chains of thought interrupted by a ring. It was Nathan.
"Hello. Sapphire, It's me, Nathan." Said from the other side.
"Got it. How are you?" I asked.
" Good. How are doing?" He spoke.
"Good. You called me for?"
"I wanted to talk to you. Actually no... Umm..?
"What?" He was being strange.
"I was wondering if we could go to watch a movie tomorrow after your classes?"
"Nathan, it would be good. But tomorrow I have my part-time job shift. If you can wait for me, then we can go in the evening."
"Okay, then I will meet you at your university. "
"Okay then. Bye." I hung up smiling.
The next day I went to university, getting out I saw Nathan standing in front of his car. He waved at me. I waved him back with a smile.
"I thought I take you to your workplace and wait for you?" He said.
"Are you serious, Nathan? Why would you do that? My today's shift is 4 hours. Now it's only 2.30 pm."
"Hey don't be so worked up. I will just sit there with coffee and time will pass sweetly watching you. I won't be bored a bit?" He said winking.
"Huh. Don't flatter me. Now drive." I told him the direction of the café and he drove.
"Have you had lunch already?" He queried.
"Yeah. In cafeteria. Why?"
"I haven't yet. Thought to have with you. Don't worry I can have it at your shop watching a pretty girl." He again winked.
"Just stop it, Nathan. Drive. You are acting strange today." I slapped his shoulder playfully.
We entered the café. He ordered a set menu and started eating. I started doing my work.
The whole time he was smiling and winking at me and I was sending him false angry glares.
He ordered two more drinks and one ice cream to pass the time.
Today customer pressure was moderate. Suddenly four people suited in black entered. They occupied the left side of the cafe.
One of them was the 'Beast' from yesterday. In his face, there was not any sign of regret or shame.
He sat straight holding all his glory.
His face was rather hard. He was glaring at me and then at Nathan.
Like his eyes were on fire. He was a handsome man but for an unknown reason, I find him ugly.
One of them called me for order and all of them ordered cappuccino, except the beast who ordered an espresso. His taste was bitter just like his bitter personality.
Soon my shift was about to end, one of my co-workers Loren came. She served them drinks in my place.
"Where is the girl from before who took our orders?" The beast asked her but it sounded like a yell.
"Sir, her shift has ended for today. She is going home." She replied with fear. His expression was enough to scare somebody to death. I eavesdropped everything.
I changed my working uniform. Then I left the cafe with Nathan, before their eyes. I don't know what's with Nathan, suddenly he held my hand. I gave him a questioning look. He smiled like an idiot, scratching his head.
I saw the 'beast', he was shooting daggers at us through his glare. I didn't care.
We went to watch a movie, it was an action movie. We enjoyed it a lot. I finished a whole big box of butter popcorn and nachos.
At sharp 9 pm, we came out of Cineplex and for dinner, Nathan insisted on going to a local pasta shop. Its specialty was it was an open shop. We were waiting for our food.
"Sapphire, I never forget about you in these years even if I tried, " Nathan said holding my hand suddenly.
"Glad to hear, " I responded, trying to pull my hand softly.
"How about we go out? Know each other?" He suddenly said after a little pause.
"You mean we get into a relationship like a girlfriend-boyfriend?" I asked with my big eyes. I was shocked at his proposition. I have always thought of him as my friend.
"Yeah. Give me a chance to prove that I am sincere. If you feel unhappy with me then you are free to go anytime." He spoke, looking at my eyes. His eyes showed sincerity and care.
At least it seemed real to me.
"I think you are single. Try going into a relationship. It can help you lessen your loneliness and lighten your mind. Sometimes try visiting parks, amusement parks, movies, etc. Try to enjoy your life like a little young lady. Don't stay building walls around you. Then you will see life will offer you many amazing things you could ever imagine."
I suddenly recalled what my psychiatrist said. I can at least give a try.
"Nathan, you and me, we have met each other after a long time. We both have changed, and it's too quick." I hesitated.
"But my feeling towards you is still the same." He cut me off.
" Okay. But this is too soon. You know me. I am giving you a chance but don't try to bind me or cheat on me." I said.
"Thank you, my princess, for this honor." He kissed my knuckles. I blushed.
We ate and he dropped me at my apartment.
I was tired. I went to the bathroom to have a shower.
I sat in my small tub and was thinking about today. Nathan proposed to me, I said yes to him.
I had a mixed feeling. I went to bed to sleep. But after an hour I woke up because of my nightmare.
It got even worse. I was feeling a headache and breaths were difficult to take.
I was unable to run from my past, but yesterday's incident with the beast made my nightmare worse.
Today I saw horrifying incidents of my past again with yesterday's incident.
Why always these happened to me? Was I cursed? I took two pills and gulped with water. I don't know how to sleep peacefully anymore.
