Lola’s POV
I didn’t know how much time passed because I was wallowing in self-pity. I thought I had people I could trust. I thought I was loved by my friends only to find out that I was befriended by someone who wanted to see me fall.
I did not touch the food, not like I could if I wanted to, because I felt like she would have poisoned it. My hands keep aching from being bound above my head for so long but it was nothing compared to the ache in my heart.
I missed Adrian and Rose and Lyla and Avianca and Nathan and Dylan that barely spoke to me but makes me laugh anytime he does. I did not know I was crying until I felt droplets of water on my chest. I went to wipe it but the pain in my arms mocked me. I started laughing loudly while also sobbing, the two moving perfectly with each other. Anyone who saw me would have thought I had gone crazy.
I thought getting rejected by Grayson was painful but I felt the betrayal from Lotana more. We all laughed together, she was with me during my darkest times, we gave each other strength and energy to power through anything but she turned out to be the one to stab me in the back.
My mind drifted to Adrian and I wished I was back home in his arms while we talked about random things. I missed the little touches and random forehead kisses. “I miss him too”, Jasmine whimpered in my head. What would he be doing now? Is he fine? A lot ran through my head.
The door opened again and I closed my eyes. The scent of the person that entered the room was different and from the strong scent, I knew it was a man but I did not have the strength to hide my naked body from him. I felt him come closer but I did not open my eyes and laid there.
“Do you think we can hypnotize our way out of this situation?” Jasmine asked in my head. “Even if we get untied, we need to see that fucker, we can’t just escape like that. We need to be pitied for any of these to work”, I told her. “I’m about to damn whatever we planned Lola”, she hissed and I blocked her out.
So hot-headed.
“I know you’re awake, love. Your uneven breathing gave that away”, the voice said while running his hands down the side of my face. I sighed before opening my eyes. I sighed before finally opening my eyes.
I was expecting to see a very ugly man but was surprised that he looked very fine, not nearly as gorgeous as Adrian but he was okay. He had blonde hair and hazel eyes with a scar running down his face.
“Luke what you see?” He asked cockily and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. He roamed his eyes over my body and I felt disgusted with myself but there was no way I could cover myself up. I felt like I was betraying Adrian by allowing another man to see my nakedness.
“I like what I see though, I’m sure we’re going to have a good time together”, he said in a very creepy way. I couldn’t stop the retching sound that left my lips and he looked at me with a smirk. He was obviously having so much fun at my discomfort. ” Don’t worry, you’re going to be begging for me soon”, he said before giving me a pat on my cheeks. He stood up and walked around me, his eyes not leaving my body.
He finally looked at my face and smirked at me. “Forgive my manners, love, I should have introduced myself first but your beauty blinded me. Jasmine made a retching sound in my head but I kept my face neutral. “I am Damon, the rogue king. I’ve been sending you gifts for a while now, I hope you liked all of them?” He asked with a big smile on my face and if my hands were not tied, I’d have slapped him.
“I see you’re not going to talk to me, I like my feisty women. I’d have had my way with you but your pathetic mate needs to suffer before I share a video of us making love”, he squatted in front of me again. He held my chin and made me look him in the eyed while he grabbed one of my breasts.
A single tear rolled down my cheeks at being defiled by this vile man. His hands felt like I was being pricked by a thousand needles. Through our mate bond, I felt sadness radiating from Adrian or I could have been wrong. Apart from the tears streaming down my face, I didn’t show any emotions at all. I did not want the bastard to see how much he affected me.
When he saw that I wasn’t responding to him groping my boobs, he forcefully kissed me. I tried to free myself from him and kept moving my head sideways to escape his lips but he did not relent.
He forcefully held my neck and kissed me roughly, bruising my lips in the process. When he finally released me, I wanted to crawl out of my skin because I felt so disgusted and dirty with myself. I know how much it was going to hurt Adrian if he ever found out what happened.
He stood up with a satisfying smirk on his lips and a mischievous glint in his eyes. “I will make you feel so much better than this when you’re finally mine, love”. He looked at the wristwatch on his wrist and whistled.
“Duty calls. I’ll be back for more later”, he turned to go but stopped in his tracks again. “I see that you haven’t touched your food”, he gestured towards the tray of food that was still on the floor where Lotana left it. “It’s advisable you eat it because you’ll need the energy for what’s about to come”. With that, he left the room, turning off the light on his way out.
My tears started streaming down my face afresh after he left. I wish this would be over soon, I need my mate.
