I kept staring at the road ahead as he drove with speed, the silence after he told me his name was deafening and even when i barely knew him, I still remained composed but so uncomfortable each second I remember that i was half naked, my heart still heavy with pain from the trauma i faced.
"You're awkwardly silent," he said with a calm voice, his gaze still on the highway
"I barely know who you are, and this might be a kidnap mission for all i know," I replied harshly, but my words meant nothing as he accelerated faster, causing my heart to pound faster as he swerved off cars.
"Kidnapping is useless, not when you're a means to an end,"
His words were confusing and even when i stared at his face, i still couldn't get the hint and before i could realize what was happening, he made a sharp turn into a guarded estate, staring out the window, i could see penthouses with replica appearances as the Ethan broke my heart in. He stopped at one and stepped out, leaving me inside like i was a prostitute he was ashamed to open his door for.
I waited for him to come back but the minutes ran by and there was no sign of him, i angrily stepped out and walked in only to be marveled by the aesthetics of the living room, the paintings and the gold crafted sculptures.
"I thought you would remain in the car for eternity," he teased with a glass of wine in his hand and a thick coat on the other as he walked to me.
"What do you want from me?, you saved me from death, but you act mysterious and weird. Who the hell are you!" I screamed, and his smile vanished in an instance. The situation just got serious, and his mood changed instantly.
He took a deep breath while swirling his glass of wine ad he walked towards the door, shutting it tightly and applying the locks.
"It appears that you have forgotten my name..."
"You're Klaus the Tyrant, and what does that mean?, forgive me for not having any knowledge of your personality, all i see is a rich mysterious prick living in a fancy estate"
He walked past me but stopped, he turned his head a bit, staring at my thighs like i was a whore he took off the streets.
"If you're looking for a one night stand, you might as well left me in the freaking ocean!" i added, screaming so loudly in anger.
"Lower your voice, you aren't a mad woman!" he shunned me, his voice overshadowing mine and in that weird silence, his presence felt like a charm forcing me into obligation.
"Take the stairs and head to the second room, freshen up and I will reveal everything you need to know"
I didn't waste any second as i rushed to the room and jumped in the shower, i cried my eyes out as the cold water touched my skin, i was losing myself by the second and life didn't feel real for me anymore. Ethan was all over my head, haunting me so badly, why would he do this to me?. i kept asking myself as i punched the wall.
"I hate you Ethan!" i confessed amidst the tears, my heart had been torn apart, all the years of love and sacrifice down the drain.
I managed to take a warm bath and wrapped my body in a towel and as i stepped out, i met a pink nightwear on the bed. I got dressed and took a good look at the room but on noticing the MacBook by the side of the bed, i quickly grabbed hold of it and searched the name "Klaus, the Tyrant" on the web, eager to know if i had been kidnapped or if this was a bloody nightmare.
I gasped in shock as the results popped up on the screen, Klaus Marshall!!!.
I quickly dropped the MacBook at once and tried to leave the room only to be struck by his presence, he stood at the door, his hands tugged in his pockets as he stared deep into my eyes, searching my scattered soul.
"I take it that you searched my name, now you know who I am" his deep voice revealed.
"And what does a man of your caliber want with a woman like me, a broken one at that?" i asked as my heart raced, Klaus wasn't just any man, he was the heir of the Marshall family, one of the richest and ruthless family in the United States with top government officials at their beck and call. Klaus for a fact was a ruthless and heartless prick who always got what he wanted with no one with the balls to stop him.
"I have a proposal for you, a chance at a new life you don't deserve, not even in the next ten years" he said.
"Trusting a man is the same thing as trusting the devil, you all are the same, i would pick my head on a spike over any promises made humans with cocks!" i spat out angrily and all he did was smile, my insults were compliments to his ears.
"I'm more of a Devil's incarnate so it's no surprise, I'm not making you a promise, I'm giving you a chance to enact your revenge!"
I paused for a second, trying to figure out what he meant by that last part.
"I was drained in thoughts until i stumbled upon a wedding at a beach which happened to be yours and barely hours later, you almost drowned yourself in the ocean, how iconic!" he revealed, cracking himself up like it was a comedy show.
Tears escaped from my eyes, watching him make fun of what should have been the best day of my life.
"I have been alive long enough to know something must have destroyed you back there, what was it?"
I stood up from the bed and walked to the window, staring at the stars and hoping that Ethan would come begging for forgiveness that i would never give.
"I caught him fucking my best friend!" i screamed in pain, smashing the MacBook against the wall and hurting my finger in the process but simply watched as my blood trickled down.
"How pitiful" was the comment made by Klaus, i turned around and stared at him.
"Is that all you can say to me?" i asked, my emotions taking control of my senses in a minute.
His posture and composure remained the same as he leaned forward.
"I don't care about your love life and how tragic it is, i saved your ass for a reason, i find you suitable for my agenda" he said, his tone devoid of emotion and more of logic.
"Then spill out the reason for saving a heartbroken bride from death?, because if it's sex, you made the wrong call!" i thundered.
"If you can help me claim what is rightfully mine," he said, his voice cold and scary, "then I will help you destroy the man that dared to ruin your heart".
