Ava's POV

He switched on the light. It was so easy because he had the remote with him.

My breath hitched and for a moment I forgot how to speak. I shivered like someone who was caught in stealing.

"What was I going to say to him?" I asked within myself.

I tried to come up with something to say, but my brain was not working and I was so confused already.

He can't know where I was going to, it was almost midnight. Now that he allowed me to stay in his room, I was running out. He would definitely see me as a slut.

"I--i w--wa." I stammered badly, before I could say a word, he shut me up.

"Shut the fuck up! Now tell me, tell me to my face where you were going to?" he yelled. If his mother hears about this, it would be hell for me.

I turned in the direction of the bed, he had finally freed me from his grasp, but it felt like he was still holding me around my waist.

I bit my lips, trying to gather up the courage to speak. "I just wanted to go take something downstairs. I tiptoed because I didn't want to disturb you." I tried to speak clearly, and this time I didn't stammer.

I just needed to act strong.

"Oh wow! I know now," he said in mockery.

"You know what?" I asked him in confusion.

"You can't lie, you were going toeet my younger brother. I know you want f to go give him the latest sex style, right? Forgetting the fact that you are married to me." Micheal yelled, this time so loudly.

"Excuse me, I really don't understand what you are saying. I said earlier that I wanted to get something downstairs."

"Shut up, lady! Don't you dare talk when I am still talking! You are a liar!"

"I am not lying to you. Why don't you believe me?" I asked angrily.

"Why should I?"

I couldn't answer to that.

"You are my husband and I would never lie to you." I said.

"Don't you dare call me your husband," Michael said, his tone higher and higher.

"O-okay," I said that was the only word my bleeding heart could think of.

I tried everything possible not to see his eyes, I really don't want to be more furious.

"Now, since you can't keep bothe legs closed and you are always looking for a man to treat you well, you can now come and lie on the bed; let's do that," Micheal said, pointing at the bed.

I looked up at him to be sure what I was thinking was not what he meant. Let's do what? I could not get what he was saying.

"Are you dead and stupid? I said get on the bed already and let's get started!" He commanded again.

So he was pretending to be asleep? Was he monitoring my movement so he could do this? I thought he didn't want me to go close to him.

Shit!

"Was he okay? What are we getting started with?" I said this in my head because I couldn't even fathom if he was drunk, but in all, he didn't have any drink, so he was perfectly okay.

"This would be the last time: get on the bed and strip!" he said, and I swallowed hard before gasping.

"What?" Maybe I was still dreaming, I didn't hear him right.

"I won't! Never! You think you could take advantage of me again. Never!" I said, this time confidently.

Very heartless person. Infact everyone in the family were so heartless. Now he wants to take advantage of me.

"Don't let me force you woman! Come now!" he said, but this really irritated me.

I had my first night with this man. He was so gentle and soft maybe because he was drugged. Who could ever believe that he was this cruel. That was why he never thought of searching for the girl who saved him. Such a heartless man!

"Excuse me! With all due respect, you don't talk to me like that. Are you okay? Don't you respect woman? If I could remember, you are the same man who despises me and now you want me on your bed. You want to have sex with a slut? A whore? Really?" she yelled for the first time, her embers eyes showed that she was scared, but maybe she was trying to act brave before her king.

"Don't dare talk to me like that! You lack manners, have you forgotten that I am your husband?" he asked.

"You have finally agreed that you are my husband right?" I asked suprisingly.

He was speechless.

"Excuse me man, don't ever raise your voice at me," I said angrily.

He gasped. I quickly walked out confidently without saying another word.

I didn't want him to say any other word too.

I ran downstairs, brought out my phone and placed a call on Juliana. She was my only option that I had to leave this house.

I brought out my phone and placed a call.

"Hello," I said. "Juliana, this is Ava I really need your help."

"Ava, I know it is you. Is everything okay? You don't look fine, " Juliana said, from the other end.

"I am not fine Juli, I just want a favor right now," I said anxiously.

"What is wrong Ava?" she became curious.

"Ava, I need your help. I need to leave this house right now. I need to run away from this cruel man. He is so heartless!"

"Run away. I am confused already. What happened?"

"There is no time for all this. I wil be outside by 5am in the morning, please come take me to your place. Either I leave the country or go where I won't be seen. I can't live here anymore. I will send the details now," I said.

"Ava, are you sure you are okay? What is goi.." I quickly hung up when I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"I was in trouble this time," I said inwardly.

"What are you doing here?"
