Medusa's Forbidden Love (Chapter II)

2

I thought he would hit me more, the thought sent chills to my spine.

He pulled me close to him and gripped my jaw making me cry out in pain.

I didn't dare to free my jaw from his grip as he was in too much rage.

I once again passed him sorry looks as I had no gut to open my mouth in front of him.

"Don't... Don't f-ucking look at me with this pathetic sorry expression?

(he yelled at me)

You are only looking at me like this because the things that you planned didn't go as you wished.

(I bit my lower lip before the sob escaped from my lips, he paused while shaking his head slightly.)

Do you know if I hadn't reached you on time what would have happened to you?

What Jason would have done to you?

Do you know that the whole Mafia would have laughed at me that I wasn't able to keep my wife safe"

He snarled, gripping my hair tightly.

"I... I am... I am not your wife...! " I let out looking at him, putting all my fear aside.

"You wanted me but I never wanted you and I cleared that thing to you in the beginning... "

I was struggling hard to let out each word, but I felt that he deserved to know the truth.

I knew he could kill me for this or maybe do something worse with me, but I was ready to bear every consequence at this moment.

His eyes and expression were screaming at me to shut up but I was too exhausted with this terrible life.

This life was now feeling like a burden to me, my sixth sense was telling me that there was something that I wasn't able to see about Lucian and that feeling was scaring me more.

"I never considered you as my partner neither I accepted that compelled marria.... " I painful moan left my mouth he gripped my neck but I didn't struggle to get myself free.

"Shut up before I give you the worst death which you already deserve for betraying me! "

I wanted to tell him that he could do whatever he wanted to do with me but I felt dark dots appearing in front of my eyes.

I tried hard to keep my eyes open so that I could clear him that I could never be his, I'd never accept him nor I forgive him for forcing himself on me but I wasn't able to say a single word to him as the darkness embraced me.

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

Lucian was sitting on the chair and I was laying on my gut right in front of him over the Piano.

The melodious music he was playing reminded me of the music box that my mother left for me with her voice.

Before Lucian, that box was my only source to escape from my reality, my depression, and my loneliness.

All of a sudden he stopped playing making me frown.

Before I ask him why he stopped playing?

Lifting his palm, he brushed his thumb under my eyes and I realized that I was crying.

"I hate seeing tears in your eyes printsessa? "

His soothing words made me smile, I instantly tried to get down but seeing me in a hurry, he got up from place and grabbed me in his arms.

I didn't say anything but hugged him tightly and buried my face in his neck.

"I love you... " my words made him tense, I felt it but neither did I ask him what was wrong nor did he respond to me.

I know what was bothering Lucian.

But his age was never my concern nor did I care about other things.

I am happy with him and that is what matters to me.

Lucian wasn't just a normal or best buddy for Dad, but Lucian was as important to Dad as air is important to the human body.

I know if Lucian asked Dad about my hand, Dad wouldn't say no to him.

I know there was a huge age difference between me and Lucian but he doesn't look old at all, and even if he looks old to others, I don't give a damn about it.

"Wanna have coffee? "

He questioned.

"Tea... " I replied, inhaling his fragrance.

Damn! How can someone smell so good all the time?

"You don't like tea...! " He said making me sit on the counter, pushing my hair on my back, and looking into my eyes with so much love.

"But you love tea! " I said passing him a smile.

"You don't have to bear everything that I love! " He said and moved toward the other side to gather the ingredients.

I tried hard to tear my gaze from him but my feelings, the emotions I was feeling for him, and the love that he filled inside me made it hard for me.

"If you keep staring at me, your eyes will pop out of your sockets! " He let out making me frown once again.

"How do you find out I am staring at you? " I questioned as his back was facing me.

He twirled to look at me.

"I have eyes in my back head too!" He joked but I don't find his joke baseless at all.

Lucian's features were too sharp, his upper hair was grey but his side hair near his ears was white, and even his light stubble was white and grey.

He wasn't a male model but he should have been.

The aquiline nose he sported complemented his prominent cheekbones.

Handsome in an understated way, his basalt jaw and Spartan shoulders spoke of strength.

He possessed a latent, leonine power and always walked with purpose and authority.

His skin was too shiny and gorgeous and his eyes had the combination color of Hazel and green.

No matter how many times I change my angles to see this man, I can never see him as an old man because he don't look like he was in his 50s.

With each passing day living with him, I feel like I am getting possessed by his closeness, I am getting obsessed with him.

"Evil Man! "

A smile appeared on his lips.

He hummed in response so sexily.

"If our age wasn't the problem, you won't hesitate to say you love me right? "

Moving close to me, he passed me the coffee but I frowned and grabbed his tea from his palm.

He shook his head and helped me getting down from the counter.

"You know right that I'll die before you? " His question made me smile.

Life made me mature long ago, I know what he was indicating and I am ready for it.

"Let's live in today instead of getting scared of what future has been holding for us, " I let out dragging him to the garden area.

I could feel his gaze at me that made smile.

"I have a question for you? "

I asked making him raise his brow at me.

"Was there no one in your life before me, I mean you are a big man and run entire Russian mafia,

Have you never been married or had a girlfriend?"

"Curious, aren't you?"

I stayed silent, this isn't my curiosity but my jealousy. It's impossible to believe that he never had anyone before in his life. I know this life and the lifestyle of gangsters and here, Lucian was the king of Russia.

"I never had anyone in my life but now I find I have someone... " His words made me blush ferociously.

His each word made my heart beat faster than usually.

I felt as my toes curled into pleasure.

If what he said was lie then I am happy in this lie.

I love him, I love him Insanely.

Suddenly I felt someone holding me and shaking me hard.

I frowned, gripped Lucian hard but suddenly Lucian started slipping from my palm as dry sand.

I started shaking my head and try to scream, I tried to tell him to do something but my voice got stuck in my throat as Lucifer was standing in front of me holding the gun on Lucian.

With a jolt I opened my eyes, roaming my gaze around I realised that the room lights were dimmed.

I groaned grabbing my head as I could feel the pulsing sensation in my crown.

The slap appeared in my mind so was my reality.

Blinking my tears I sat on the bed and pulled the pillow over my lap.

Looking aside, I noticed the jug of water.

While filling the glass fo myself I realised that someone tried to wake me but left before I opened my eyes.

I am all alone in his dark, huge room.

Edge of the glass was about to touch my lips when he appeared in my mind.

The last time deadly rage of his eyes appeared in my mind that sent a rush of panic through me.

My palm automatically touched my cheek and a moan left my mouth as the skin of my cheek was still very much tender to touch.

I also realised that the area of my body which was wounded was now wrapped with the bandage.

I am sure the person who left the warm water for me must had done my bandage.

I think I can't survive here now! I have to find some way to reach Lucian.

*I think you should wait, once Jason reach Russia he will tell everything to Lucian...* I heard the voice coming out of me but I shake my head.

Till Lucian reach me, I'll die.

The devil won't spare me, no way.

Lost in my thoughts I didn't realise how much time passed but the thought of asking help from his step siblings forced me to step down from the bed.

Right now only the siblings can help me to get out this hell and I have to make them ready to help me.

If they want, they can come with me, I'll tell Lucian to help them, I know my Lucian won't say no to me.
