Saved By Him

Chapter 8

Isabella Rose

"Please. I'm sorry I won't do it again" I say crying, falling to my knees for forgiveness.

"It's too late to beg for forgiveness now sweetheart" He says with anger, before he grabs my arm in a painfully tight grip, and pulls me up.

I cry harder as he pushes me onto the bed, quickly grabbing some handcuffs which sat on the side table. "No no! Alexander I won't do it again!" I say screaming, as he reaches out to cuff my hands to the headboard of the bed.

"What did you just address me as?" He spits out lethally, before harshly slapping me across the face.

"I'm sorry master" I cry.

"Hmm. Now be a good girl and don't scream or I will have to gag you" he says, before he starts tearing off my clothes, my tears non stop falling.

I quickly sit up breathing heavily, as I feel my forehead become sweaty and my hands tightly gripping the blanket.

Damn it, another stupid nightmare. I'm such a weak idiot, I really need to get over these.

If only it was that easy.

I look around my dark room, the only source of light coming from between the curtains.

I get out of bed and walk towards it, slightly shivering at the loss of warmth from the blanket. The bed was so comfortable that perhaps if I didn't have such nightmares, I would be able to sleep like a baby the whole night.

I pull the curtains wider apart to look out the window. The moon stood out like a pearl in the black sea, its light casting over the darkness.

I liked to relate to the moon. Despite the darkness surrounding it, it never stops illuminating. Something which always encourages me to, I guess live. And not to just live in fear and depression. But to live fearlessly and strong, handling any problems which come in my way.

I know I have every reason to be depressed, and miserable. But there's this inner voice, reminding me of what my dad would say. And he would definitely want me to be brave.

Perhaps by helping Valentino take his revenge on Alexander, I may also be able to have some satisfaction too. Maybe then the nightmares will stop, knowing I am completely safe and justice has been served.

After all, what he made me go through is unforgivable and the amount of hatred I have for him is beyond anyone else's, including Valentino.

But until then, I'll just have to control the nightmares myself. Perhaps a nice hot chocolate will be enough to help me sleep after.

I walk over to my bag, taking out a pair of bright pink fuzzy socks. Don't judge me, they're just really warm and cosy.

After wearing them I walk out the room quietly.

Okay, I didn't think this through. I completely forgot how big this mansion is. Now which way was the kitchen again?

I keep walking until a hallway becomes familiar so I take that route. I was quite surprised to see dim lights turned on all around, despite it being night. When I turned a corner, I see some of Valentino's men taking guard. I guess that explains why. Do they never sleep?
