The pen trembled in my hand . It was just an ordinary sliver sleek pen that probably worth more then everything I owned combined.
What made my finger shake was the paper it hovered above,the word staring back at me with all the cold finality of a prison sentence
"Marriage contract"
The pharse blurred as my vision swam it I did not dare to let a tear fall. If I should cry now , he would see my weakness and that is one thing I cannot afford . I inhaled ,shallow and shaky and my chest tightened as if an invisible hand was squeezing the air out of my lungs
"One signature,just one and it will be over" I said to myself as I slowly stroked the ink on the paper
As I was done , I thought of the freedom and relief my father will get from the huge debt he has,I thought of the good life my little brother will experience because of my decion and a smile curved on my lips
"We don't have enough time to waste" That scary voice that I've become familiar with echoed loudly and that fear that had once vanished came rushing back
"But why?" Those words suddenly escaped from my lips but I received no response only a chuckle
"Did you just question me?" He suddenly asked. The room that was a little bit accommodating suddenly became uncomfortable,the air seemed to be heavy and with a trembing voice I whispered
"I am sorry"
"Sorry?" He asked and I nodded not daring to look at his face
"You know the consequences of talking back at me, do you?" He asked in a cold and ruthless voice and I immediately fell to my kneels begging and shaking almost peeing on myself and I could feel him enjoying the show in front of him
"You know I don't accept apologies" He said
"You are going to face the consequences of your action and next time you will have to think twice before moving those lips of yours" He said and signaled his guards to take care of me
They dragged me roughly on the cold rough tiles, not wanting to know if I am in pains. I begged for mercy one last time and as I knew ,it all fell on deaf ears . Glancing up one more time, I could see the pain and regret in my parents eyes .They could not do anything but to watch me being tortured so as not to be in his bad books
~~~~
"Pls don't do this" I cried and begged for mercy but it looked like no one was talking . I called my parents asking them for help knowing fully well that they could not do anything.They all stood there watching me being tormented by the devil who is also my soon to be husband
I cried and wailed in pain but the more I cry ,the more the pain increases and with the last strength I had in me I shouted his name
"Dominic Veyron" and suddenly the torture suddenly came to an end and with a blurry vision I could see him walking towards me with a smile of satisfaction and then everything became dark
