Chapter 41

Eliana couldn’t help but raise a brow when she noticed that the servants were exiting the corridor one after another - she frowned. Something is not right...I can’t help but feel unsettled for some reason… Eliana wanted to ask Robert about what was going on so that she could get a heads up before meeting Aidan - however, just as she was about to do so, a servant came over and led Robert away. As such, Eliana had no choice but to go in with completely no idea about what was happening. After changing into her indoor shoes on the porch, Eliana walked into the living room to find Aidan sitting in the middle of the sofa - he was staring daggers into Eliana such that if looks could kill, Eliana would be dead by now. As Eliana walked up to Aidan with a vacant expression on her face, she noticed the pictures of herself and the man who’d held her hostage at the hotel on that fateful day - she couldn’t help but feel fear strike right through her heart at the sheer sight of the man. Eliana staggered back as she looked up at Aidan with horror and fear in her eyes - Aidan interpreted this as the former’s overwhelming disbelief and guilt that she’d been caught red-handed. Aidan felt even more infuriated at this. “Come here,” Aidan growled in a low voice. Alas, Eliana was so scared that it was as though her feet had been frozen in a block of ice - she found herself completely paralyzed and unable to take a single step forward. She placed her hands behind her back and fiddled with them, trying to calm herself down such that she wouldn’t seem as terrified as she actually was… Alas, Aidan interpreted this as Eliana trying to go against him. “I said - come here,” Aidan repeated himself icily. Eliana tried to plead with the former - “Aidan…” Alas, Aidan didn’t want to hear anything from her - he stood up from where he was seated, lurched forward, grabbed Eliana by the collar from behind, and pressed her against the coffee table such that her face was squashed up against the pictures sprawled across. “A-Aidan, please, let go of me,” Eliana cried out in alarm. “What?” Aidan scoffed in disbelief, “You dare commit such an atrocious act, yet, you dare not own up to what you’ve done? Absolutely ridiculous and outrageous - you’re such a filthy woman that you would let even such disgusting and greasy-looking men go down on you. Revolting.” Aidan then grabbed a few of the pictures strewn across the table and hurled them at Eliana’s face. “I can’t believe that you stabbed me in the back with a man like him,” Aidan scowled, “Don’t you think you’re revolting? Hmm?” Eliana closed her eyes in agony, refusing to look Aidan in the face. She could sense Aidan’s blood boiling - alas, there was nothing that she could do to help herself or to soothe him. After all, he didn’t believe her despite the countless attempts that she’d tried to explain herself - he didn’t believe her at all. Infuriated by Eliana squeezing her eyes shut, Aidan sneered before throwing her onto the sofa. Eliana stumbled back and was about to sit back up when Aidan hovered above her to pin her firmly against the cushions such that she could not escape - “Can you tell me how this man is better than me, hmm? Is he richer than me? Better at sweet talk than me? Or, perhaps...is he better than me in bed?” Eliana couldn’t help but gape at Aidan in disbelief and disgust at his words - Aidan scoffed before grabbing the former by the chin, “What’s wrong? You should know, shouldn’t you? Hmm, it seems like it’s all my fault her? It’s all my fault that I hadn’t managed to service you to your liking…” Aidan’s eyes grew darker as he started to pull at Eliana’s clothes - the latter was immediately alarmed and folded her arms such that the former could not remove them. “Aidan, please,” she begged, “Don’t do this.” “Don’t do this?” Aidan snorted, “Don’t act like such a saint, Eliana - so you can sleep with him, but not me?” Eliana couldn’t help but tremble at just how fearsome the former sounded - as much as she didn’t want to be forced into having intercourse, she was so afraid of what Aidan might do to her that she thought that it might be worth it. As such, she tried to reason with him, “Let’s...at least...not do it at such a place.” Aidan scowled, “I can’t believe that a woman as shameless as you think that she has a say in where she wants to do it.” Aidan’s words cut deeply into Eliana’s soul - alas, there was nothing that she could do but be at the former’s complete mercy. And so, the former took her violently - when it was finally over, Aidan glared down contemptuously and disdainfully at Eliana. He was seething with anger at the thought of Eliana being with another man. The more unwilling that she is to do something, the more that I’ll force it on her. Aidan growled as he gripped Eliana by the chin - “Listen, since you like living like a whorish woman, I’ll grant your wish - from now onwards, you have no right to refuse me as long as I want you. You’re nothing but a hole to pleasure myself with - do you understand me?”
