Taking a deep breath, Damien opened the door of his home.

Today, it's his wedding night.

The circumstances in which he married the girl weren't normal. She wasn't supposed to be HIS!!

Since childhood it was declared that Heaven is going to marry Xavier when she grows up. HIS YOUNGER BROTHER.

News of Xavier's disappearance right before 5 days of the wedding spread like wildfire in the whole country. The authority and reputation of the Valentino Family was on stake and to save it, Damien Valentino can go to any limit even.

For people this marriage was nothing but a compromise but to them this marriage was everything. It was God who fated them together, and who has the power to change fate? It's inevitable! The pieces of the chess game were turned and THEY WERE FATED!

This night is going to be the most beautiful night of his life, he is going to start a new life with his bride. He wanted to shower his bride with love and affection.

It was already midnight, a smile made its way on his thin lips, he stopped when a lovely smell hit his nose. Lights were dimmed and candles lit up everywhere. The atmosphere was romantic.

Adding more ambience, there she was sitting in the middle of the bed in submission, her knees hugged her chest. Her veil covered half of her face and modesty. Her eyes cast down, not once she looked up at him. Her long black hairs reached down to her waist with a few strands falling down on her face. Furthermore, her rosy lips were slightly parted, her skin glowed cause of moonlight. She was a vision in white.

Never in his life he saw a girl like her.

He fell in love with her again, harder, deeper, stronger.

The day he saw her for the first time in church was still clear in his mind.

He remembered watching her praying to her god drowned in devotion.

That day for the first time he wished that he was as lucky as Xavier. He hated the fact that his brother was going to claim this fragile beauty.

In daze, he walked towards the girl, and she felt his shoes coming near her. A smile formed on her lips, she remembered how the married girls in her wedding were discussing their wedding nights. Her cheeks heated up gaining a tint. She was nervous about the wedding night as never in her 18 years of life she experienced any intimacy with a man. Intimacy? Never in her life she dared to look up in a man's eyes and talk. That's the way she is.

He sat near her, her chest moved up rhythmically and gasped in nervousness. She was fidgeting her fingers and all of sudden Damien took a hold of her hand caressing it softly.

She never liked her name more. Her name on his lips sounded so manly and soft at the same time. His rough yet calm voice was so affective that it reached down her stomach.

His thumb caressed the back of her hand gently. The first time she let any man touch her hand. She never thought that a man's touch would feel this good even though his skin was as hard as a wall.

The veil slowly slips down from her face, he placed his rough hand under her chin bringing his face closer to him.

Slowly opened her eyes, exposing the most purest green colour he has ever witnessed. Her eyes were lethal. Her eyes took his breath away and he cursed inside his breath.

Heaven looked at man who was now declared her husband. He was young, a young man with the most intimidating and beautiful appearance. His hair were as black as hers, he had high cheekbones and a sharp jawline. His shoulders were strong and the white shirt he wore perfectly hugged his built up upper half.

He wasn't one of those fair boys with a shave, his complexion was darker with trimmed black beard giving him a rugged look. She noticed a deep cut on his left cheek as if he was attacked by a sharp thing.

He asserted domination. She couldn't take her eyes off his gray orbs, they were so beautiful and so intimidating that they could pierce souls.

His grip tightens on her soft hand, little Heaven compared to him looked so small, he appeared so much taller and bigger than her, her posture was submissive and petite.

He was a god.

DAMIEN VALENTINO'S A ******* GOD.

His rough fingers went to her soft, luscious lips from her chin. He rubs them gently parting them with his thumb. Though his hands were big and rough but Heaven's body was heating up just by a mere touch, she felt her lower part burning and butterflies dancing in her stomach.

He asked for her consent, her cheeks flushed. He touched her heart when he asked for permission before continuing. She remembered how lovingly he kissed her forehead at the wedding ceremony when they were asked to kiss, without making her embarrassed.

She nods slowly and she finally parts her lips to speak.

Damn, she had the most angelic voice. Damien felt his member getting harder and he cursed again between his breathes.

A smiled forms on his lips and leans towards his face and places his lips gently on hers. Heaven closed her eyes accepting the sweet kiss.

He cupped her small face and showered gentle pecks on her lips.

She smiled against his lips, she could never be much happier. Marrying him was the best decision of her life she thought.

He sucked her lower lip to his heart's consent and finally broke the kiss.

Her lips! He knew her lips will become an addiction. They felt soft that they could melt against his. His heart fluttered when she smiled against his lips, accepting him.

When they broke the kiss, he could see her eyes shining more. She was happy, finally.

His arms wrapped around her tiny frame. He kissed her hand lovingly after pecking her plump cheek.

He whispered gently into her ears, earning a giggle from her. The corner of her lips curved more, showing him her captivating smile. She was so damn cute.

She caught him staring at her smile. She asked.

He claimed, her smile curled up even more. She was so ******* innocent, she didn't even know she was seducing him without even trying.

He felt sorry for the bride, because tonight he will corrupt her innocence and claim her as his for lifetime.

Two souls, will unite forever.

He held both of her hand gently and his expression turned into a serious one. Heaven gave a confused look to him, and he spoke letting out a sigh.

Heaven's eyes filled to the brim with tears hearing his words. She never expected so much affection from a man who just met her a few days ago.

And before he could say anything further she placed her palm on his lips and said gently.

He held both her hands and looked back in her eyes.

Heaven wrapped arms around his neck hugging him tightly. She whispered softly.

Every time she took his name, it sounded nothing less than a lullaby to him. Her confession soothed him and his unhealed wounds.

Parting away from him, she gently cupped his face and spoke.

And with that he planted a loving kiss on her forehead, his hand moving towards his tie undoing it. Heaven gulped at his actions.

He asked seriously with a smile. Heaven remained silent for a moment but nodded slowly giving her consent.

He removed the loosened tie from his neck and took off the veil from her body completely. His hands moved to her earlobes and he pulled out her shining earings slowly and kissed the mole right behind her left ear. She smiled and moaned.

He pulls down the zipper of her dress slowly exposing her sawn like neck and bite able collarbones.

He grabbed her neck choking her gently and before slamming his lips on hers he declared.

I opened my eyes and found myself on the hospital bed. Blood stains were still visible from the bandage wrapped around my frontal head. A needle was inserted deep into my veins and an IV drip left undisturbed so that fluids and medicines can go directly into my blood, several other tubes were taped to my arms.

I looked around and everything surrounding me was stark white. I didn't have any energy left inside to move this silent and used body of mine.

My eyes flooded to the brim with tears as one by one the horrifying memories of last night hit my brain.

I was in his captive for 5 days, in his dark hell. In 5 days I was raped countless time as he took me whenever he wanted. On the last day of my captivity before all I heard was gunshots and saw his dark orbs piercing my soul.

The most destructive thing which can happen to a woman is rape. Lucky are those who are killed right after losing their dignity. Most of the rape survivors end up committing suicide or are killed everyday bit by bit and aren't even allowed to die by their own choice, just like me. I am not allowed to die, as he won't let me. My every move is calculated by him and even if I die he wound hunt me out from hell.

As long as he lives he won't leave me. Even if the cells inside my body decay, bones in me becomes brittle. Even if he sucks the soul out of me, or even I die. He won't leave me

People outside the hospital room were too noisy. I diverted my gaze towards the door and my eyes found him standing near the door with his arms crossed, looking at me with his dangerous pair of eyes. His irises were completely black, the darkest shade I have ever witnessed.

The waistcoat fitted him perfectly, his sleeves were rolled up. He was handsome, the most beautiful man to ever exist. But to me, he was nothing but a monster. Who snatched every fraction of my happiness.

And most importantly my identity. I wasn't Lily anymore. He gave me a new name, a new identity.

The melancholy darkness that followed broke when he parted his thin lips to speak, cruelty and only cruelty dripped from his voice. To him, I am his Bella. Bella is a word that fills my heart with nothing but hatred.

My breathing became abnormal, his voice was enough to scare the hell out of me. Blood pounded in my ears and my heart thudded inside my chest. I was panicked to see him.

I cried in trauma. He walked closer and gripped my long hair inside his fist making me scream in extreme pain. He brought my face dangerously near to him.

I begged him for a bit of mercy, I felt so much pain in my head as if my life dangled on my hair which were inside his tight grasp.

my eyes were wide open as soon as I heard him. I looked him in the eyes, and his lips curled in the same smirk which he gave me last night before raping me and horror engulfed me

That's what he promised

My loud scream echoed all around the hospital but no one was there to help me. I was raped AGAIN!! He was mad. He was possessive. He was crazy. He was obsessive. Only for me. He was XAVIER VALENTINO , my nightmare.
