Medusa's Forbidden Love

3

How could Dad think that I could spend my life with this cruel devil who looked no less than Lucifer? And won't hesitate even for a moment before strangling me with his big palm.

For a second I looked into his eyes and noticed that they were back to normal even though his facial features were looking calm and relaxed as if nothing happened, and he hadn't tried to choke me.

More than a businessman he seemed like a gangster to me and had the same aura of novel mafia gangsters.

Sucking a deep breath and biting my lower lip, I gathered all my shattered confidence and looked into his eyes with determination.

"We can't get married,

I don't want to marry you. " I spoke as confidently as I could but the sudden evil gleam in his eyes forced me to step back.

Seeing the madness over his gross made me feel like he was possessed by some devil.

Narrowing his gaze on me, he clenched his jaw " What did you just say? " He questioned but I was sure he heard what I told him.

Swallowing my saliva I try to breathe as normally as I can but the courage that I gathered a few seconds back was now seeping out of me and taking the place of me with dread.

Once again I started moving back as he started taking his predatory steps toward me.

How can I act like this,

I can't back off,

I need to make him understand that I can't marry him and Dad has been compelling this decision to me.

"Look! My Dad,

He... He is compelling this decision on me,

I never gave him my approval and I know you heard what I said.

If still, you want me to repeat my words then no problem.

I'll die but I'm never going to marry a man like you. "

The last line slipped mistakenly through my mouth but now I guess it was too late to regret it as he heard each word of mine loud and clear.

His nose started flaring ferociously, his palm lifted and clutched my throat.

Instead of darkness this time his eyes were holding amusement, but it didn't hide the strange but intermediate flicker I saw there.

This man was insane, I could see the madness in his eyes of hurting me.

"You never do learn, do you?

And what I warned you about your sassy attitude, hunnn? " His tone was velvety, as though he was staring down at the child.

His eyes were staring at me as if he had possession of me, even though he hadn't claimed me yet!

I was so scared of him that I was not able to express my feelings openly.

My heart was in my mouth and my eyes were almost coming out.

My intuition had warned me that this crazy man would not hesitate to wring my neck, he'd proven that more than once that night.

"Aaahhh hhhmm, it hurts, please... Please let go of me" I plead breathlessly while struggling ferociously to get free from his grip but the more I struggled the more he was constricting his clasp at my neck.

All of a sudden he leaned close to me, making me halt my struggles and hold my breath.

His thumb started caressing my lower lip, causing a shiver to spread throughout my body.

I wanted to get away from his touch,

I wanted to yell at him and push him back but I found myself paralyzed instead.

"We are going to marry Medusa that too very soon (he takes a sharp breath infusing his terror into my veins)

And you have no choice in this matter. (He was looking at me with the intensity that he could look into my soul)

I will be your husband very soon and you will be mine that too in the upcoming three days. "

My blood started curling in my veins,

I felt as if someone poured a burning lava on my body, I was feeling too numb to even react.

His clasp loosened a bit from my neck and the moment I felt I'd be free from him, I felt his hungry lips connecting with mine.

The incursion of his tongue was like an iron brand, burning me with his assertiveness.

His tongue was exploring my mouth, I could feel his saliva mixing with mine.

It wasn't just the kiss but he was taking possession of my mouth.

I and Lucian had shared some kisses before but they were sweet and tender, nothing compared to this kiss.

This guy had been owning me, branding me, and making me feel terrible by his actions.

He sucked all my breath, my empty lungs cried out for air, and I started struggling hard against his grip but his grip was firm like steel.

The moment I felt as if I would pass out, I moved back.

My frightened gaze met with his dominating but satisfied gaze.

"Just three days! " He whispered, taking a step back, then with a sharp expression he started moving away from me.

I kept staring at him until he vanished from my eyesight.

I swiped my lips with the back of my palm but it was of no use, my lips were burning, and my heart was bleeding.

How?

How did my life turn out like this?

Why did he leave me?

Opening my room door, I threw myself over the bed, then burying my face into the pillow I let my tears pour out of my eyes which had been threatening to escape for so long.

Later in the night:

Sleep was far from my eyes, I was only twitching and turning over my bed.

Lucian's thoughts and Lucifer's kiss were lingering in my mind.

I felt my room door pushed open, the lights in my room were dim, and anyone could barely see anything but inhaling his smell I could say it was my stepbrother.

"Are you asleep? "He inquired, illuminating my room with lights.

How could I bring myself to sleep? Each time I closed my eyes Lucifer's face appeared in front of my eyes and reminded me that my life would be over in the next three days.

The space near me pushed down before I felt his fingers start combining my hair.

I couldn't control myself, resting my face on his lap. I started sobbing hard.

My step-brother and I never shared a good bond but I know he cares for me deeply like a brother.

"I can't marry him,

I can't " I spit out

He was silent but made me sit in a sitting position.

I passed him a pleading look, but he stayed quiet.

I groped his palm, if there was anyone who could help me, it was him.

If he talks to Dad he would give ears to him more than he would to me.

"I think you should sleep (He put his palm over my cheek)

We will talk tomorrow" There was nothing soft in his voice, but each word held warmth.

I blinked my tears and shook my head adamantly.

"Please, please don't let this happen to me, please I beg you.

That guy is insane,

He frightens me,

I can't be his wife.

Please talk to Dad, he will surely give ears to your words and... "

I was cut off by him instantly.

"It wasn't only Dad's decision Maddy! But he took voting from each member of our family and directors too. "

Is he mad?

Doesn't he know that Dad's decision will be the final decision?

If Dad said no to this agreement, no one would dare to oppose him neither our clan nor the directors.

"You have to help me stepbrother, you have to!

I love someone else and I can't marry Lucifer" The moment words escaped my mouth it was too late as a shocking gasp escaped from my stepbrother's mouth.

"What the hell! " He screamed.

All of a sudden his grip tightened over me making me almost flinch.

"Who the hell is he?

Oh, mighty god!

(I can see the assortment of madness, rage, and terror over his gross. His eyes had almost come out of his sockets.)

You have never let him touch you, have you?"

He was asking but demanding the answer, shaking me terribly.

If we hadn't grown up together under the same roof, I would be begging god to disappear me at this moment.

"No, we haven't " I started truthfully but kept the truth from him that I was too loose to lose my purity with Lucian.

"Now tell me, will you help me to escape out of here and reach him? " I questioned. This time frown lines appeared over his forehead and he started staring at me suspiciously.

"Who is he? " He asked

I started biting my lower lip

"I met him in Russia! " I lied as I couldn't tell him about Lucian and ruined things for me more.

"I'll talk to him Maddy, but the last decision will be his"

He heaved out a heavy sigh but instantly lunged my arms around him tightly.

He didn't hug me back but patted my head and left my room.

When I successfully managed to sleep, for the first time instead of Lucian, Lucifer appeared in my dream, making me get a jolt in the middle of the night.

I hugged my knees tightly and realized I was sweating.

His gray eyes were hunting me even in my dreams too.
