Chapter 9

• Riek’s POV
• He's dressed in a white T-shirt, long sleeve and black trousers, like a gentleman who is preparing to go somewhere important. I tilt my head to the other side, I don't want to look at him. He walks briskly up to me as I sit on the bed, stopping a few inches from me. I feel his deep scent overwhelm me.
• "Riek , get ready. We're going out on a date?" He barks.
• "I don't wanna go to any place, not in the mood to go out. I'm not interested." I mutter with a frown on my face.
• "It's a command, you have no excuse! Look here, I'm the boss here and you do whatever I ask you to do. Is that clear?"
• "You are not my boss, let me tell you that." I respond with a low voice augmented with firmness. I smirk, then look away. What makes him think he's my boss? I smirk again at his foolishness. I myself I'm a self-willed woman. It's not possible for him to dominate over me. I'm not that type of a lady. If he needs more proof, I'll show it to him.
• "What a fuck!" He whispers to himself, resting his hands on his waist, he gazes at me steadily and I blink, rolling my eyes away. "You need me to force you into the new clothes I bought for you, I will, I wouldn't hesitate to do that."
• "Get away from me, you and your new clothes, I don't need any of those." I hissed. "Are you trying to make me happy, then you're at a loss."
• "What do you mean?" He jumps on me, in a second, the clothes I wore are just shreds, he pulls off the remnant exposing my body to his lustful eyes. I feel the itching in my core and I try to cover my boobs with my hands folded hard across it, my legs pulled closer to my groin region to prevent him from consuming me with his lust. He swipes my hand off me, pulling a strong rope from the wall, he ties my hands behind me, stretching my legs wide with his powerful hands.
• I attempt to bring my legs together to cover my hole region since my hands are tied behind me and I can't cover my boobs. Deep inside me, I feel this strange feeling start to come up, intense and causing a tickling effect in me. Conri shoots me a warning glare.
• "If you close your legs, I'll punish you." His voice has the very element of lust in it. I scoff. "You're disrespecting me?" I keep mute. "You're gonna be starved for a whole day if you don't let me see your core."
• "Why are you treating me this way," I protest. "Do you see me as your slave?"
• "Of course I do!"
• "Then I'll have to kill myself and go to the other side to meet my parents." A gesture of shock lines on his face. "I mean what I'm saying, since you don't wanna kill me, I'm gonna kill myself."
• "Please don't do that, I beg you." He descends to his knees.
• "I'll have to, that's the only available option for me."
• "Riek , why do you want to do this? I love you so much."
• "Don't lie to me because I'll never believe your words, after all you did, you still have the mind to profess love for me. Where was the love when?..."
• "Hold your peace, the moon goddess didn't let me kill you knowing that one day, we'll be together."
• "Who says I'm gonna be with you, I can't and I'm aimed at rejecting you." I shrug my shoulders. Rejecting him will cut the sensation I feel for him, not the hate but the other which I feel whenever I'm unclad, just like now. With this, I'll better be capable of executing my revenge.
• He stands up, walks around the room, with his hand placed inside his trouser pocket. He heaves heavily. "Riek ," he begins. "I've been involved in lots of evil things, I can't tell all about them, you'll fear me more even if you're the strongest person in the whole world. I have my gang which I place an order to and they execute it the next second." This takes my mind to my kidnap, those men are surely his gang. Oh! So he's a gang leader? What a fuck and I'm living with him? I can't imagine someone I know seeing me with this kind of a man, I would be shy to tell someone he's my mate. Not like he's not handsome, Conri is very handsome, strong and agile, the perfect dream guy for every girl except for his lifestyle which isn't something to talk of, despite his beauty, you see his eyes and know the type of person he is.
• I think for a while, he had forgotten about his history, which I'm not so interested to hear. Fridolf flashes across my mind and the anxiety sets in. I grunt, I didn't want to talk to him.
• "Where's my son?"
• "Our son?"
• "My son?" I come more firmly. "I can't share him with you, he doesn't know you but I, alone. You raped me and left me to die alone but I raised him up to the age he is, why would you come claim him now, what do you have to point out in his upbringing."
• "You're going too far, Riek and you're bothering too much about things of the past which are not so healthy for you."
• "Well, I'll let go when I fulfill my goal." He suspects what I'm trying to say, he comes and squats before me with his face positioned between my legs from where he is, his interest is not so much there but on my face.
• "Let me explain everything to you, I think you'll understand it this way."
• "Go away with your explanation, I don't need it and I wouldn't understand it."
• He brushes his hand over his hair in frustration, he strokes his index finger against his lower lip like in thought.
