~Next day 6:30 a.m. Evelyn's P.O.V. Scorching rays of the sun burned my skin waking me up from my deep slumber. I squinted my eyes a little. Oh God!!! I saw Dylan hugging me while my head was on his chest and his arms were wrapped around me tightly. I panicked and pushed him a little that seem to have woken him up. He looked at me and I immediately pushed him back. I got up but my blood froze when my eyes landed on the shreds of dress which were scattered all along the floor. My eyes widened in horror. I immediately looked down only to find the front part of my dress was torn. My cleavage was on display but it was a relief to see that I was still covered. I quickly covered my chest with my hands. Dylan got up from the bed and tried to touch me but I screamed on fear. “NO! STAY BACK!!” He flinched by my raging growl and in an instant, I slapped him harshly on his face. His eyes widened and he looked at me in shock. “SO NOW YOU HAVE STARTED TO GET A NEW CRAVING? AFTER TREATING ME AS YOUR ROBOT, YOU WANNA SEE ME AS YOUR SEX SLAVE!!” Dylan became shocked with my sudden outburst. I looked at him with tears streaming down my face, “I- I am s-sorry-“ “ENOUGH!!” I quickly covered my body with the ripped shreds of my dress and shouted while blazing in anger. “My parents had sold me to you but that doesn't mean I have submitted or devoted myself to you. Do you literally have no shame? But I don't care about it now. I am warning you for the last time, if you touch me one more time without my consent, I swear on God today, that day will be the last day of you on the earth. I am not a toy with whom you'll play whenever you feel like and threw me away when you get bored.” Dylan immediately got up and tried to touch me but I backed off. “I am sorry, Eve. I love yo-“ “BUT.I.DON'T” I shouted with gritted teeth making him stunned. “I don't love you. WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? STOP FORCING YOURSELF ON ME!!” Dylan couldn't handle it anymore as I could see how much impatient he was looking. He immediately grabbed my arms and pulled me to himself. “Please, Eve. I love you. I am very sorry, try to understand. I truly REGRET whatever I had done to you. I had really hurt an innocent soul. I did a crime. I did a sin. But please, don't throw me away from your life.” 'HOW DARE HE?' I gave a tight slap on his face and screamed fiercely. “DID YOU EVEN​ HEAR WHAT I HAVE SAID? No, Dylan. If you love me, you won't force yourself on me. You won't hurt me like this.” I pointed towards the gruesome marks he left on my neck and collarbone, “First you had forced me to work for you know you are forcing me to love you. Do you really not at all care about my feelings? You didn't even realise how much you scared me last night? How much I was horrified to see your animalistic behaviour?” I spoke while sobbing hard. Dylan immediately cupped my face in his palms and spoke in a sorrowful tone. “I am very sorry for behaving like a monster with you yesterday. But I can't accept your rejection, your hatred. Please give me a second chance. I assure you I'll give you anything you want.” I looked at him dumbstruck as for the first time his eyes showed remorse and pain. But I scoffed at his last words. I smiled bitterly, “You can't give me what I want Dylan Black?” He immediately shook his head vigorously. “No, baby. I promise. Tell me, what do you want?” He pleaded while staring in my eyes lovingly. End of Evelyn's P.O.V. Dylan's P.O.V. "Then let me go" Eve spoke in a firm voice. Her words hit me like a lightning bolt. The world stopped around me. She was glaring me; her eyes were filled with resentment and rage. I was lost in her eyes which were waiting patiently for my answer. But I was speechless. She chuckled with teary-eyes. “What happened to your promise now, Dylan Black? Can you give me my freedom? Can you release me from your hellhole? Can you stop using me as your puppet? Do you even have the guts to do that?” Her voice was filled with pure hatred and rage. I slowly removed my hands from her face and averted my gaze down in shame. She smirked, “I knew it. You are so selfish, Dylan. You don't care about anyone except yourself.” Eve then turned around and started leaving. "Will you still leave me if I make you fall in love with me again?" She halted in her steps. I slowly approached her. “Will you still discard my love if I beg you for forgiveness? Will you still push me away if I heal away all your scars and pain?” I stood in front of her eagerly waiting for her response. She looked at me and smiled sadly. “It's too late now.” “No, it's never late.” I inched closer to her and tried to hold her. But she immediately stepped back making my heart break as she raised her palm right in front of my face. “But it is this time. You have crossed all your limits Dylan. You can't erase the pain and scars you had left on my soul. You don't even know what you had done to me. You have wrecked me completely. I loved you more than a myself, I trusted you more than myself but you shattered my hopes and feelings like a piece of glass. For you love just means skinship. But to love anyone, you should first learn how to respect that person. How to respect their decisions and not hurt their self-esteem, not use them for your own pleasure, not play with their feelings and emotions. If you can learn these things then there is a change that God might forgive you.” “What about you?”, I spoke while looking in her eyes deeply. She didn't reply me. We both stayed silent for a few minutes. No one said a word. Then suddenly she looked at me. “I am sorry but I won't be able to build my trust again in you.” She spoke softly and left the room while I kept staring her leaving figure. End of Dylan's P.O.V. ~Time skips 7:10 a.m. Evelyn quickly got dressed up as she was already running late for the office. She didn't eat her breakfast even. She looked herself in the mirror and again her body was covered with purple bruises. She found a maroon scarf and wrapped it around her neck. She rushed outside only to find Xander waiting for her while leaning on his car. Unknowingly a smile crept on her face as she saw him. He was waiting for her. That mere thought filled her eyes with tears of happiness. At least there is someone who still cares for her. “Xander.” Evelyn approached him quickly. Xander looked at her. “Oh!! Hey, Eve? Why you took so long?”, he spoke while hugging her. As soon as he did that, Evelyn's face turned red and her heart started to beat faster. Xander then broke the hug and looked at her. “U-Uhmm, I am s-sorry. I g-got up late today.” She replied nervously with pink cheeks. Xander laughed at her coyness and pinched her cheeks. “It's okay. So, let's go now.” Evelyn nodded as she gave him a bright smile which he returned happily. They both then got inside the car and left. Dylan was watching them from the balcony of his room. His eyes darkened in rage as he gripped the iron railings too tightly such that his knuckles turned white. “So, you liked when he touched you but you didn't like when I touch you My Eve?” He growled with clenched jaw while his face turned red in fury. Dylan saw how happy Evelyn was looking when Xander smiled and hugged her. He even noticed the pink hues that appeared on her cheeks when he smiled at her. His blood boiled in anger noticing her blushing and stuttering nervously. He kept glaring the car until it slowly disappeared from his blazing eyes. Suddenly his gaze darkened as he smiled sinisterly, “Don't worry my love, I will definitely win your heart back. I would do everything to get you back. And.....” He raised his hand up in air as he glared at the rose gold pendant which he gifted her while gripping it tightly between his fingers. " I promise I won't let anyone come between us." *****
