Medusa's Forbidden Love

4

Medusa:

Stuffing as much cash as I could, I made myself get ready.

Stepbrother hadn't been successful in persuading our father to change his mind, instead, he got upset with him.

I was forced to go ahead with the arrangements.

The things that were placed in each corner of my room have been making me crazy.

All of sudden my gaze met with the huge red box in which my wedding gown came. It is adorned with real diamonds and pearls and step brother was saying that it had been made up with the help of 36k workers in four days.

No doubt why the wedding gown was supper alluring but its beauty was mocking me.

It would be my dream dress if Lucian was my husband, but my fate test me at each point.

All the things in my room especially my packed luggage have been constantly reminding me that in the coming three days, my fate would be sealed by the monster of Earth.

Lucifer Alexander Knight would be my husband, the mere thought almost made me puke but I controlled myself.

His words, especially when he said he would be my husband soon and no power in the world could stop him are still fresh in my mind and made me shudder in fear.

His cruel cold deadly eyes and the way he had pressed his lips against mine as if he owned me never left my mind nor let me sleep in the past days.

I lifted my gaze and looked at my poor neck which still bore the imprints of his fingers when he was choking me.

I thought my Dad was the worst human on earth but Lucifer's bruteness with me proved me wrong.

A wave of fear spread in my body and made me shudder once again.

I felt the sweat forming on my forehead, and my skin turning pale.

When he isn't around me he has this effect on my body, what would happen if we encounter again?

I shook my head.

**You'll be mine very soon, **

I closed my ears and tightly shut my eyes.

Escape!

I opened my eyes and started looking at my mom's picture.

I once heard from one of the maids that my mom used to be a brave lady.

Just thinking about Mom, I made my mind determined to escape but,

If I got caught Dad wouldn't hesitate to strangle me with his own hands and I can't afford to die, not until I reach Lucian.

Just the thought of Lucian took me back to the past.

It was my stepbrother who requested Dad to take us on the trip.

Honestly speaking, I was least interested in that trip but Dad made it clear to all of us that he won't leave me alone.

I had no idea that after that trip my fate would change for eternity and I would fall for my Dad's best friend Lucian Vladimir.

Lucian had just stepped into his 50s when we met, he was Russian and was known for his calculative, unforgivable, and unpredictable nature.

Looking at him no one could say that he was 50.

It was Lucian'd birthday and Dad took us to South Africa to attend his best buddy's birthday party.

That party wasn't a normal birthday party but it was a business gala, that was why I left to take a rest in my room but the next morning when I woke up I came to know that my Dad had forgotten me at his best friend's place.

Lucian's holiday mansion was situated in the middle of the jungle and his mansion was filled with wild people.

All the people in his holiday mansion were loaded with arms, even girls in his mansion had as dominating aura as men and it was very new to me.

Just looking at the men in his mansion,

I comprehend that Lucian wasn't just the businessman but he was something else, someone who was dangerous and who kept himself hidden under Wolf's skin.

I called Dad and asked him to take me back but my dearest Dad was stuck on the island and couldn't come to bring me back but he assured me that I'd be safe with Lucian.

Later through my stepbrother, I came to know that Dad had a huge drug consignment to deliver to different countries, and between his work and me, he chose his work.

I tried hard not to get affected by Dad's behavior but it was impossible and I ended up pouring my heart out.

I wanted to escape from my mansion but due to heavy security, I never got a chance And even if I had got a chance, it would not have mattered, because I knew that if I had remained silent even in hell, my father would have found me.

No, not because I was his blood but because I was a future deal for him.

The mere thought was enough to make me gather my courage and I planned,

I planned to escape from Lucian's mansion as my Dad cleared to me that he wouldn't come to take for approximately 3 months.

But I had forgotten that Lucien's claws were longer than my dad's.

He was more darker and dangerous than Dad.

Dad never hides his true colors from anyone but Lucian, looking at him you can't predict what is going on in his eyes and head.

Lucian knew I had made a plan to escape and he let me, but I ended but getting myself trapped in the animal's cage.

The jungle was dense and Dark, and not to forget the wildness of African jungles.

I felt that was my end as the howling of animals was getting louder but I wasn't scared.

I was satisfied with my end as at that moment I had no more desire to live.

But when I was so close to my end, Lucian recused me.

I thought he would get furious at me for escaping but he was calm and extremely concerned for me.

His eyes were looking at me so deeply as if he was reading my soul and the moment he pulled me for a hug, I melted in his arms like a wax.

We didn't talk but silence was speaking for us.

He was holding me close to his chest as if he was scared to lose me,

His every kiss over my head had been reminding me of how alone I had been all the past years.

Only God knew when I got too comfortable with him and cocooned my body in his arms.

He didn't say anything but tightened his grip around me.

Soon due to business reasons, I had to leave Africa with Lucian and when we reached Russia I was awestruck.

In Lucian's huge mansion, for the first, time I felt like a home.

I was free to do the things I wanted,

I was allowed to scream,

I was allowed to dance,

I was allowed to act how I wanted not how my Dad wanted me.

Lucian used to take me shopping,

He used to take me on public park visits and used to act like a teen with me.

We had ice cream and local Russian street food.

He even took me to Yakutsk, the coldest city on the whole earth.

I didn't realize when I started getting attracted towards Lucian, nor did I feel afraid of Dad.

He was the wild wave of the ocean who kept taking me from my shore and I let him.

I knew that there was a difference of many decades between me and Lucien, but I knew that if Lucien asked for my hand, Dad would never say no to him.

"Maddy! "

The sound of my stepbrother pulled me out of my thoughts and the movie of the past vanished through my mind just like Lucian.

"Is everything okay? " I questioned as he was looking stressed.

I bit my lips as I had no mood to hear any bad news.

"He is here? "

His words made me frown,

Who?

He noticed my curiosity and the question in my features.

"Lucifer wants to take you on a date? " He finally uttered and waited for me to respond

I felt as if someone knocked my breath out of my lungs,

I felt as if I would collapse at any moment.

I stepped back and was about to stumble down but my stepbrother grabbed my hand.

"Please no...! " I begged

"Dad gave him his words Maddy! "

"then tell Dad to go with him! "

He didn't say a word but kept staring at me.

After thinking for a second, I made up my mind that it was time when I should execute my plan.

"Tell him, I'll be down in an hour! " this time my stepbrother frowned.

The moment my confused stepbrother left, I picked up my hobo bag and moved toward my Dad's study room saving myself from all the cameras.

I know this journey won't be easy for me, I know nothing about the outer world but the desire to find Lucian was enough to make me keep going with my plan.
