Alan POV
We reached the house and I dropped Stacey to her room.
"Do you want me to come in or...?" I asked.
''No I am fine." She smiled at me.All of a sudden I noticed a few bruises around her ankles and wrist.How did I not notice it before?
"Stacey,you..." I didn't continue.I carried her in my arms and she was surprised by my action.
"What,what are you doing?" She said as she tried to loosen herself from my grip.I took her to my bedroom and put her in the warm bed.
She got up as I put my arms in front of her chest to prevent her from getting up.I was worried,angry and devastated seeing Stacey hurt.My whole life stopped when I saw those marks.She looked at me,but this time with fear in her eyes.When she saw me angry she looked down.I sat beside her and silently massaged her hands with a cloth drenched in warm water.
"Does it hurt?"
"Not very much."
''Mhm." I responded as I massaged her wrists and ankles for almost 30 minutes.
I left the room to keep the water outside and ordered the maids to cook some meals for her.
Stacey POV
I was feeling scared because of the look he just gave me.He gave me fear and the feeling of being loved at the same time.
Minutes passed by,he didn't return.I lied down on the bed and then I remembered,I still had to change my clothes and freshen up.I got up and just as I opened the door,Alan was standing there.
"I have to change my clothes so," I was saying but then he cut me off with the rudest thing ever.
"Did I ask?" He said as he narrowed his eyes and looked at me.Then he just completely ignored me and went inside his room.I went to my room and went to the bathroom with some clothes.I threw the clothes and burst into tears.I know I am over-emotional but I never expected him to behave with me like this.I know he was angry because I went outside without telling him despite knowing John Black's men were still out there following me.I cried for a long time when I heard someone knocking on my bathroom door.I quickly changed and washed my face.I thought it was Emily or Penelope outside.It would be embarrassing for me if they saw an eighteen year old girl crying but anyways there was a high possibility they heard me sobbing.I opened the door as I saw Alan standing by the door.My plain forehead transformed into a frown and I looked down so that I could avoid eye contact with him.
"Why are you crying?" He asked in a way which didn't show that he was concerned or actually cared about why I was crying.
However,I looked down and said nothing.I was too afraid to move,to afraid to speak.It felt like he never cared for me,all of the things he did, was just an act.
He lifted my jaw with his fingers and made me look at him.I closed my eyes and tears ran down.In no time,he kissed me like I was the last person on earth.I kissed him back and burst into tears but he broke off the kiss very quick.He didn't care.
"Dinner's ready,come quick."
My heart broke when he did that.Why was he behaving with me like this?
"Wait!" I said as I grabbed his wrists from the back..He turned around and looked at me with an exhausting look.
"Why are you behaving with me like this?"
''You deserve it." He said with barely any expression on his face.
"What? I don't..." He cut me off.
"Dinner will be cold." He said as he approached the door again.
I ran and stood in front of him as I closed the door behind me.
"Tell me."
"Oh Stacey."
I stood there and said nothing.
"Fine,you wanna know then listen!" He said as he grabbed my both arms with his both hands.He came closer to my face and said rudely.
"I told you a million times to not go out because John can kill you anytime to get revenge on me and as far as your revenge I told you I would help you.I gave you everything you asked for.You wanted to go to musics,I agreed.You wanted to go to the movies,I agreed.There were days I missed so many important meetings just so I could make you happy and in return all I want is a little bit of respect for me and the decisions I make! But no,you had to be a rule-breaker,you had to double-cross me and you had to disobey me.I planned so many things for you this year but you,you just ruined everything!"
"I--." I couldn't speak,I was speechless by what he said.
"Yes,you don't have to be sorry.Just come down and have your dinner."
I went downstairs and we had of dinner silently,dinner is not the perfect term to say it as it was already 7 in the morning.
We both slept and the day went by quietly.He went to the office and I stayed home as I didn't feel to do anything.It was 9 pm when Alan returned home.He headed to his room straight and didn't come out at all.I guessed his mood was terrible
