Chapter 2 SHE IS AFRAID OF THE MONSTER

• Alvira had slept almost three hours before she finally woke up.
• She stirred on her bed and moaned as she snuggled deeper into her covers, trying to find more sleep but her stomach growled, indicating that she was terribly hungry.
• The moment she opened her eyes, she frowned..
• She tried to recognize where she was.
• This wasn't her room.
• She sighed as she felt a bit relieved that she hadn't been kidnapped when she remembered the event that had happened earlier.
• She had gotten married and she was now in her husband's house.
• She got a bit pissed when Luca had said that they had to live in separate rooms, not like she was keen about them sharing a room but that was what a husband and wife ought to do right?
• It made her wonder if she iritated him that much.
• Alvira sat up on my bed, her eyes feeling puffy from the long sleep she had.
• She got out of her bed and strolled gracefully to the door while she ran her hands through my hair, placing each strand backwards.
• She reached out for the door knob to open the door and suddenly, the door swung open forcefully.
• Smacking her on her face and hand, it hit me and she automatically staggered and landed on the floor blatantly.
• She squealed in horror as her tender body landed harshly on the hard floor.
• She groaned in pain and looked up at who the intruder was.
• It was Luca.
• It was fucking Luca.
• Luca stood by the door frame, his hand still at the door knob, staring at her angrily.
• "Why isn't dinner ready yet?!"
• He asked looking angry and questioning like what he just did was do okay ..
• Alvira pressed my lips into a straight line feeling angry.
• 'Was that really what he was going to say after throwing her on the floor?!'
• She rubbed her already swelling forehead and my aching right wrist.
• She helped myself stand up without giving him any answer.
• She totally ignored him and that seemed to infuriate him even more.
• "I am fucking talking you!"
• He marched to her, yelling and before she could blink another eyelid, he threw an angry slap across her face.
• Her jaw fell automatically in utter shock and hurt but more of shock.
• For the life of her, she wasn't expecting anything near that. It was a brutal slap.
• "Why the fuck isn't dinner set?!" He yelled in her face again.
• "For the love of Christ, am I to cook you dinner?!"
• She yelled back at him in annoyance and frustration, still holding her stinging face.
• His frown grew deeper and scarier and she almost regretted what She had let out of her mouth.
• He matched to me with a sneer and gripped my jaws painfully, forcing her to look him straight in the eyes.
• "You will not raise your voice at me. You are my damn WIFE and as my wife, in my house, you are to cook my meals, do my laundry, clean my house and obey every fucking thing I tell you. I will not tolerate disrespect, not even a slight trace from you.
• Is that understood?!"
• He said to her with so much authority and anger, leaking through his voice.
• Her eyes had started watering without her being able to control it.
• "Am I understood?!" He yelled louder with a deeper voice, tightening his grip on her jaws.
• She nodded as my tears now began to drop.
• "Good" He said and threw her face.
• She placed my hands on her jaws.
• She was sure he had left bruises there.
• Hee jaws ached..
• "I expect dinner to be ready in an hour.
• If you make me wait, I will make you regret being born" He warned, dead serious and walked out of the room, slamming the door which caused Alvira to jolt a bit.
• She was now hyperventilating from what had just happened.
• She was shocked, scared, hurt, terrified and my self esteem cracked..
• Was this what she was married into?
• Was this who she was married to??
• She wiped her eyes and sniffed.
• She couldn't believe that she had just cried, on her wedding night at that.
• She didn't remember the last time she had cried.
• she wiped my face and gathered the courage to walk out the door, my eyes puffy and my forehead swollen.
• She had never been manhandled as such all my life.
• It was new and it hurt.
• She headed downstairs to the kitchen.
• As much as She wanted to protect my pride, She still didn't want Luca to carry out his threats.
• She had a too strong feeling that Luca was more than willing to carry out his horrible threats, whatever they were.
• She left my room and went to the kitchen.
• She began to prepare Luca's meal.
• She didn't know exactly where to start from but she would come up with something sooner or later.
• It was annoying how he just forced her into doing his will.
• She wasn't that weak.
• She was never that weak.
• But for the fact he made her realize that she could actually easily submit to someone got her terrified and surprised.
• Maybe it was because no one had actually treated her the way he just did.
• She went on cooking.
• Before and hour, she was done cooking and in an hour, she was down setting the table.
• Luca came not even a second late to the time he had set for her.
• He inspected the table and didn't say anything.
• He turned around and began to walk away.
• "Aren't you going to eat?" She asked him in annoyance and confusion.
• "Already got myself something.
• Eat and go to bed"
• He said and with that, he disappeared into the stairs.
• "Is he kidding me right now?" She asked more to herself.
• He actually let her go through all the stress for preparing dinner for two and at the end, he ditched her and her food?
• She looked at the various food that was set on the table. Angry tears formed in her eyes as she hands balled into fists.
• She was angry and her finger nails were digging deep into her palms.
• He was an asshole.
• A fucking annoying asshole..
• She was now too angry to eat and she needed to calm down before she could stomach in anything.
• She stormed out of the dinning room and began walking up stairs.
• She didn't forget to loosen the apron around her neck and dump it on the floor in the living area.
• She was mad and she needed to vent it out.
• She walked into her room using the pillows to hit the bed.
• "I hate you Luca Colton." She yelled.
• •••
• Alvira heart almost burst immediately two of the guards came into her room looking as fearfully as ever with those mean looks on their faces as they stepped in.
• They didn't even knock.
• What if she was naked or dressing?
• "You have been requested by the boss to come with us." One of the guards who had a ugly and mean look said to her with his thick and scary voice that made her shiver in fright as she got up quietly and calmly followed them.
• •••
• They passed through several hallways till they finally arrived at his room. She felt her heart beating hardly as this shut thy door to Luca's room, she clenched her teeth together as she was in the middle of two frightening and scary men.
• She looked downwards immediately as soon as Luca moved towards her, breathing heavily as she felt her heart would stop.
• "You two leave." He commanded the men who bow before exiting the room.
• "Look up." He barked and she immediately with heart pounding as she looked at him, she felt the tears threatening to roll off.
• He was the most perfect handsome man that she had ever met, but there was no doubt that he was a monster, there was no doubt that he doesn't like her and her sight irritates him.
• His steady dark gaze made her tummy tighten and made her shiver in fright.
• "Never you look down while i am talking to you." Alvira nodded as she tore her eyes away from the floor.
• Luca moved closer to her, the clean masculine scent of his skin and the exotic under had filled her nostril making her head spin.
• "Stop shaking, stand still." He barked pulling her hair tightly, sniffing it
• The way he held her hair really hurts, she didn't know he had noticed her shaking. She had to force herself to be steady and stand upright to avoid facing the wrath of the monster standing before her.
• Luca's eyes went flat and cold. "I want you in my bed, i want you anytime i demand." As if to emphasize his words, he strode over her reaching up his hand, he ran his finger tip along the damp of her cheek, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
• She sucked in a tortured breath. " You hate me, why don't you let me go?" She said as she watched him burst out into laughter but a dangerous one.
• Everything about him had become dangerous to her.
• "You have no right to speak to me." He said landing a deafening slap on her cheek.
• "Pull off your clothes." He order in his thick husky voice but she moved backwards.
• She wouldn't want him to touch her, she looked at the door and saw that it was already locked.
• No way to escape from this beast !!!!
• "Strip now." He yelled angrily.
• "Please let me go." She begged.
• When she stood her ground, his hand closed tightly over her fore arms.
• "Don't you dare disobey me." He yelled slapping her across her face making her taste something metallic in her mouth.
• "Please let go off me." She pleaded.
• Cursing he tighten his grip on her and crushed her against his mascular length.
• "Please let me go, please." She pleaded struggling to get out from his grip.
• Warring anger played across his face as he watched her struggle to free herself from him.
• "You can't tell me what to do." He whispered fiercely bending her backward molding her even tightly to the hard contours of his body as he bit her lip slightly hard enough to let her lips bleed.
• She felt hot tears rolling down her face as his warm mouth was closed hers.
• His need was based on the desire to punish and hurt her badly, his hands closed over her breast, stroking a nipples as hard that it hurts her but still hardened, the other hand had moved to her gown as he tried to pull off her gown, she stomped on his feet making him let go of her.
• Luca smirked as he walked to end of the room and grabbed a horsewhip, with a wicked smile on his face, he moved towards Alvira and landed the whip on her.
• The first stroke landed on her back giving her deep cut, she screamed in pain running away towards the bathroom door which was opened but Luca who was ready for her was quick to see her, he grabbed her forcefully while she screamed and beg for him to let her go.
• "I am not done with you Alvira." He growled.
• Alvira tried fighting him off with every ounce of her strength, but he was too strong for her, he overpowered her and cuffed both her hands to the bed.
• Alvira could only scream as she thrashed the air with her legs while Luca laughed like a physco manaic as he landed the whip on Alvira back.
• "Go ahead, continue i hate you Luca." She screamed.
• He raised the whip to hit her again, when the distinctive ring sound of the front door opening cut through the room.
• He groaned before keeping the whip and untying her.
• "Gino, show her to her new room." He instructed a guard before exiting the room.
• She felt so happy that someone has distracted the monster from whipping her.
• She felt glad that she was saved from the hands of Luca, if he had continued whipping her she would have passed out.
• ••••
• Alvira sunk down into the cold floor, curling up against the nearest wall the moment she stepped into the room that was assigned to her.
• Her head fell on her hands, feeling the wave of sorrow crash over her.
• This isn't how her life is supposed to end.
• This isn't the life that she had planned out for herself.
• Idly she wonder if this will remain her prison for the rest of her life. How will she be married to a man who is a monster?
• She was terrified of the monster that has held her captive.
• She was terrified of the monster who she was forced to marry.
• She was terrified for her life and future.
• She cried, she cried in a way that she has never cried before and her breathing came in hiccoughing Dobs.
• She cried until there is no msore tears left.
• She cried until she was exhausted.
• She cried for her future.
• She wasn't hungry so she lay down so her arching headache could subside.
• That night, when she awoke, breathing heavily from a vivid dream about Luca strangling her to death,it was impossible to ignore the facts that was both ancient and familiar frightening every nerve ending in her being.
• Frightening of him, she sat up in the darkness and pushed hair away from her face.
• "It was just a nightmare." She mumbled
