Chapter 3

• Before she wakes up I should get lost. I quickly put on my pants and took my other clothes and left her room. My mind was filled with her sleeping face. Fuck what did I just do?
• I went straight to my room and showered, and changed into new clothes. Then I received a call from Lisa. Lisa is the woman I use to hurt Delilah. Lisa is an old friend of mine and she’s lesbian. She acts like my girlfriend when Delilah is around.
• “Hello Lisa what’s up?"
• “Kayn what were you doing?” She asked as she laughed.
• “Nothing why?” I asked casually.
• “You sweet fucker, don’t lie. I know you were definitely having sex with that pretty lady. De..Li...lah" she said while laughing like an idiot. She knows me very well.
• “Yeah.. now tell me why did you call?” She never calls me if it’s not something important.
• “Tomorrow we have a gala , remember? So you great billionaire, I would like to have your money to buy the most beautiful dress” yeah here we go, she never does anything for free. She acted my girlfriend’s part to hurt Delilah for food and clothes. Urghhh this woman.
• “Okay you buy anything you want. I’ll pay. I’m tired now bye.” I hung up. With that I started to think tomorrow Delilah will also attend that gala. Well will see.
• ~ Delilah ~
• I have no idea at what time I fell asleep and Kayden is not here anymore. My body is numb, I have no strength with me, I wanted to stand up but couldn’t. I can’t feel anything only the sharp pain between my legs can feel. Yeah, it was all thanks to Kayden I didn’t know what happened and why did he act like that. Actually he has never touched me before, I couldn’t figure it out because he didn’t talk to me about it. My body hurts, and also my heart. I got up from the help of the bed and I slowly walked towards the bathroom. Every step I took it felt like someone stabbing me with a knife but I just tried to forget about it and went to the bathroom. I looked at myself through the mirror. All I saw was a mess. Messy hair, bite marks from neck to abdomen, some marks are red as they bled, swollen lips with cuts. I just cried. Cried for myself and I stared at myself through the mirror as I remembered the past. Painful memories came to my mind like they stabbed me to my heart. I sat on the cold floor as I hugged my knees and buried my face against it while recalling the painful past.
• ....Delilah’s past....
• “Del, from now on this will be your home and everyone in this home will treat you as a princess because we never had a girl in this house. Specially Kayden he will definitely love his future wife.” It was grandma Quinn who brought me to this home when I was 10 years old. After my parents death. They took care of me like a princess just like the first day that grandma told but there was a difference with one thing. It was, Kayden never loved me and never treated me as a princess. He just hated me because he believed his parent’s death was my fault. He said if they didn’t come to save me that day they would’ve still been alive.
• I was the chosen bride for Kayden from a very young age. It was both of our parents' decisions. After I came to this house. I slowly fell in love with Kayden. I only wanted him but he never wanted me he thought our parents decision was stupid. Yeah, maybe it could be stupid for him, but for me it was the best thing. Grandma Quinn always loved and gave me everything ever since I came to this house. I loved her as well. I still remember the day Kayden brought a girl home. I remember the face that he gave me while kissing that girl. He knew, he knew that I loved him so he did everything that could hurt me. He had so many girlfriends and he always showed me that he never wanted me and he never had feelings for me. I was so broken because of him. The most painful thing happened on my 18th birthday party. I felt my heart crying for me because of the thing that he did to me.
• Everyone told me happy birthdays and gave me so many gifts but Kayden never said or gave. It wasn’t a problem for me because I knew what kind of personality he had. At my birthday party Kayden brought a girl with him. She was a beautiful girl with arrogant attitudes and suddenly Kayden came to me.
• “I have something to show you, come with me.” I was beyond happy because he talked to me. I couldn't stop my smile. Everyone has told me that I had the most beautiful smile. With that I followed Kayden to upstairs. But,
• “Kayden.. why is she here?” The girl that Kayden brought was there.
• “She came to be a witness to my proposal for you baby.” Proposal? What was he talking about? With that Kayden kissed that girl. My heart broke into pieces. I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t know why? After they were done Kayden dropped his one knee on the floor and took a ring out of his pocket,
• “I, Kayden Quinn, want you to be my bride. mother to children and wife for the rest of my life. Would you agree with me?” It was all I could remember because I ran from there, I didn’t want to stay anymore so I ran out of the house. I just walked out from home and went to the road. It was my birthday. I should be happy but there wasn't a hint of happiness in my heart. There was only pain, with a broken heart.
• “Hey...Watch out..” someone shouted as I fell onto the ground with great pain. I couldn’t figure it out whether that pain came from my body or from my heart. I was hit by a car. I remember there was a boy who shouted. He took me into his arms and ran to hospital. I don’t remember his face or anything but his eyes have the same color as Kayden’s but I knew that wasn’t Kayden because he was with his future wife and having fun but that woman wasn’t me. When I was in the hospital Kayden never came to visit me but I didn’t care because he can’t hurt me anymore I promised myself. I asked everyone about the boy who took me to hospital but they never knew who he was and what he looks like so I had to give up. After I was discharged grandma brought me home. I saw Kayden was looking at me with a guilty look but from that day I didn’t look at his eyes because when I see those eyes it only brings me pain. That pain was something that I was afraid to face.
• ...................
• “Delilah, come down for dinner. Your favorite food is here with us. Come quickly darling.” I was pulled back from my memories as grandma talked to me. I was still in the bathroom but I managed to answer her.
• “I’ll come grandma. Wait for me” with that I got up and washed myself and quickly changed into clothes that wouldn’t reveal my skin because I can’t let anyone see my body.
• Then I went downstairs. Kayden was also there. He looked at me as I came in but I didn’t look at him because it was already enough...... He was just a monster, but I have no idea why I fell in love with this monster. He never made me happy but still I love him like a fool. I just couldn't make myself forget him and move on because the love I have for him is really annoying. Every time I see him my love increases for him. So how am I supposed to forget this man? Even if he hurt me or killed me I don’t think that I will ever be able to forget him or stop loving him. I just hate myself for that…..
