Chapter-54

My head throbs as I adjust my eyes to the light. There is a slight disappointment that lingers in my heart as I take in the view of my room.

Ugh trees and birds were much better.

Even before I could adjust to my surroundings a stinging pain in head makes me wince. It feels as if someone is hammering nails in my skull.

I also feel pyrexic.

Guess dancing in rain was not a good opinion.

The light falling on my eyes feels like a drilling machine because it worsens my headache. I want sheer darkness to surround me.

I really have no energy in my body but still the slick sweat on my skin is acting like a barrier in my sleep.

It disgusts me. I just can't keep lying here.

When I came back earlier with Lorenzo I really wanted to take a shower but the pain in my legs and the exhaustion all caught up and I just surrendered to sleep.

But now I need a bath otherwise I won't be able to sleep. I gently pry the sheets off and put my feet down on the tiled floor.

I get up but still feel a bit soreness in my thighs.

Well that's what happens when you don't workout and have sex with a fit man.

Man, I really should start working out because baby these legs are not it.

With my wobbly legs I somehow manage to reach the washroom.

I take off all my clothes. Well there was nothing much to begin with. It was only Lorenzo's shirt.

We both really did the walk of shame back in the house. I am glad there was noone otherwise it would have been so embarassing.

I turn on the shower and let the warm water droplets soak me. It feels so good to have warm water run over you. Even the headache subsides as the water works it magic.

............

Clearing the fogged up mirror with my hands I look back the reflection of me. Well it does look like that I could use some ice for my eyebags.

It does feel good after a warm shower but the headache and the dizziness is not letting me feel anything else right now.

I need to ask someone to get me some meds to make it through the day.

Wait! What time is it right now?

I turn my head and look at the sky through the tinted windows which only allows one to look out.

The sky is muddy. It feels like it's about to rain.

I should get me some meds before it rains.

I hastily move out of the bathroom.

As I enter my room I notice that the curtains are drawn and room is pitch black.

As I move in further I get this eerie feeling that someone is watching me. I move with calculated steps towards the switch board to turn on the light.

As I near the board I extend my hand to turn on the switch. But before I could do that I hear a click sound followed by the turning on of a lamp.

The sudden light makes my eyes a bit hazy but soon I focus them on the corner of the room emanating the light.

I see a figure sitting on a chair. It is still not bright enough for me to see the person.

He has his head tilted back in the shadows while he is sitting with his legs crossed.

I feel a chill crawling up my back. Nothing about this situation puts me to ease.

Another click sound and the room is ensued in darkness. I put my hand on the switch board and try to turn on the lights but it's of no use.

He laughs at my attempts of lightening up the room and again turns on the lights.

His maniacal laugh is unnerving. I feel myself perspiring.

I turn towards the direction of the door. My eyes move between him and the door calculating whether I can make it or not.

"There is no need to run little dove. I won't hurt you."

He speaks

That voice I have heard it before but my mind is all fizzy. I can't make out where.

Think

Think

Think

As I contemplate I hear him speak again.

"Not yet."

He says as he leans in and his face becomes visible.

Lorenzo's dad.

He gives me a sickly sweet smile as he says.

"That's why my son can't get over you."

He says as he eyes me down.

I am only wearing a shirt which is sticking to my body. I was already feeling feverish and sweaty so decided upon a low length shirt but now I feel exposed.

I see that he is eyeing my boobs.

I don't know what it is but even his eyes makes me feel dirty like I want to rub my skin hard till I couldn't feel his eyes.

"Well can't blame him. You are very exquisite my little dove."

He says and stands up.

I flinch and move back.

My throat is dry and I feel my heart pounding hard in my chest. Something about him scares me.

Though he looks really familiar to Lorenzo but his mannerism they are different this time.

They are like my father.

Same way of smiling

Same body language

Same mannerism.

The headache has consumed me now. It feels like the veins on my head will pop soon. And I wish they do because its now numbing my head. I need to feel something to know that my head is still there.

"Am I reminding you of someone, dove?"

He says and moves in closer.

My eyes widen upon hearing him. It's like he is reading my mind

My feet walk back fast but my back hits the wall. He chuckles and moves closer.

As he moves closer I inhale his colonge. Same one as my father.

I feel myself trembling. My body shivers as I feel the sweat soaking my body.

How is this possible?

How can there be so much similarities?

"So you really are that scared of your Father?"

He says as he cups my face.

I look up at him as he smiles. His face is resembling the devil at this moment.

How does he know so much about my father? Why is he acting him?

I feel him coming closer and more closer. He leans in and puts his lips on the base of my neck.

I feel the bile rising in my throat. I might vomit any minute.

I really want to push this bastard away from me but that colonge his mannerism it's all too similar to my father and my body has freezed.

He is not him.

He is not him.

I reapeat these words in my mind as I need to be strong this moment.

I need to get out if this situation otherwise who knows what this sicko will do.

"You even smell sweet."

He says as he looks back at me

"What a waste? You could have been mine but my son had to spoil yet another thing for me?"

Son.

Lorenzo.

A wave of anger rises in me as I remember what all he did to him.

And with all the strength I had in me I push him away.

"Do not touch me."

I yell as he staggers back.

He doesn't fall but still I am able to push him away.

I take in deep breaths as I still feel nauseous.

"You bitch."

He says as he lunges at me and grabs my throat in a chokehold.

His hand tightens around my throat as I feel suffocated.

"Looks like the father effect is over."

He spats as his hands tightens.

I feel my eyes tearing up. I try to pull his hands away but I fail. I don't have any strength, not today.

A tear falls from my eyes as I feel the oxygen in my body draining.

But before I could completely close my eyes I feel his hands off my throat.

I grab my throat and take in gulps of air like a fish out of water.

"Don't hurt yourself my little dove."

He says as he again cups my face.

"Why why are you doing this?"

I ask him in my scartchy voice.

He doesn't answer right away. There is just sounds of my laboured breathing as he looks at me with a taken back expression.

Like he was not expecting that question from me.

"Well I told you to go away didn't I. Even got you out but you my silly girl again got involved with Mafia."

He says while chortling.

"It was still fine but now you are again back and my son is not miserable like he was when you were gone."

He voice turns hard as he pushes back the strands of hair on my face.

"Why did you have to come back and be his happiness?"

He asks me with sadness in his voice.

"It was lovely when he was being that insomniac bastard. Replacing his drugs with psychotics was so much fun but.. you

You

You

You."

He pulls his hairs ands point and me like a maniac

"You ruined it."

"Your fucking lullabies."

"He stopped taking the drugs."

"He was healthy and well."

"And that hurt me."

"Now tell me why would you hurt me my dove."

"You are my sweet girl right. So I gave you the chance to go away but yet you return again and ruin my fun."

"For the past one year I have had so much fun seeing him being miserable but you return again."

He says as he bangs his hand on the wall next to me.

I shriek in horror seeing him act like a pschyo.

"But this time I won't let you go. I'll have you in the same miserable hole as he was."

"And you think I will stand and watch that happen."

I scream at him as I feel my heart tearing apart for Lorenzo.

He is a monster, God knows what all he had put him through.

He cackles

"And what do you plan to do?"

"To you know stop me."

"I'll tell Lorenzo about the maniac you are. You pschyo."

His expressions harden as he clenches his jaw. He pulls my hair back harshly and says

"Listen to me you bitch."

"I am I am not a pschyo okay."

"Not a pschyo."

"Me. Is. Not. Pschyo."

He yells in my face.

"And do you think he'll believe you. What if I tell him about the truth of your marriage with Xavier?"

My face ashens.

Hahahahhahahha

His sound reverberates in the room.

"My stupid son thinks you are being honest with him."

"Who would tell him that all you have done till now is hide your past?"

"What if I tell him about your father who never believed you were his daughter."

The acidic bile rises again. I feel my insides shrinking.

"What if I tell him about your mother hmm? You think you will be even allowed to sit in the same room as Xavier and Lorenzo."

"Xavier think about Xavier."

"How disgusted would he feel? He claimed you as his wife. How will he feel when he will know that you are born from a wretched lowly whore who sold you back to your father."

His words tips me off as I vomit out the bile.

He moves back hastily as I lie on the floor vomitting. It feels like my insides are ripping.

The tears stream down my face as I empty my stomach contents.

"Shit shit shit."

"My Valentino suit."

I can hear him panicking in the background.

I lay in my pool of vomit as the numbness envelops me.

What the fuck was I thinking?

How can I be so delusional?

I should have known I will never fully be accepted in the society.

The tears stream down as my brain starts shutting.

I feel a pair of hands lift my head up . I look at those dead pair of eyes as they stare back at me.

"Don't be sad dove."

"I will accept you."

"Leave everyone, leave Lorenzo."

"Come to me."

He says as a smile adorns his face.

"Come to you?"

Are the only words I am able to get out before darkness pulls me in.
