A Love so Dark and Twisted

Ah... He's back... What will he do to me this time? I thought as I shut my eyes, revelling in my last few moments of peace.

"I'm back, Lila..." a man's voice echoed throughout the silence. Footsteps pounded across the wooden floor, heading towards the room she was in.

The sound of her heartbeat grew deafening as she anticipated the man entering anytime soon. The metallic taste of blood laced her tongue as her lips grew drier and paler.

"Lila... why didn't you answer me?" the man said as his voice grew louder and closer. He was right outside the door. The woman opened her mouth to say something but instead, kept it shut, ignoring the man.

The door creaked open and the sound of footprints clicked across the wooden floor. The woman swallowed her non-existent saliva as she tried to calm the excessive beating of her heart.

"Lila... why won't you look at me?" the man asked as he stroked the side of her cheeks. The woman flinched from his touch but did not shy away from his touch.

Silence filled the room as the man's breath tickled her face. "Your lips... are chapped... haven't you drunk the water I gave you?" the man asked as the sound of rustling filled the silence.

Suddenly, the man pressed his lips against hers as he forcefully pried her lips open. Forcing in the sweet tasting water to quench her thirst.

Some water trickled down her throat as they parted lips. She felt the man's hot tongue trace the length of her nape, chasing after the drop of water.

Ah. Is he going to **** **** to me? the woman wondered as she felt the man undo her blouse. "It's been hot lately. Why don't you take a bath?" the man said, ruining the woman's thoughts.

She didn't reply and sat in silence, clenching her fist. "... You still won't look or talk to me..." the man said softly as he then stood up.

"... I left a new pair of clothing at the bathroom door... You should take a bath... I'll... make dinner..." the man said as he left the room.

The woman slowly pried her eyes open as she glanced around the room. Ah. The bottle of water was left here again. The woman then reached out towards it and took in a generous gulp as she smiled satisfactorily at herself.

As she made her way down the stairs, she turned towards the kitchen and looked at the man, fixing up dinner in the kitchen.

She then made her way to the bathroom where she saw the new set of clothing left by the man. A nightgown...

The woman stared at the direction of the kitchen before heading into the bathroom sighing deeply. Why is he holding her here anyways? If he wasn't going to do anything to her?

Everyday felt as if it were going to change but nothing had happened. Even the name... Lila... wasn't her name. Everytime he called her Lila, her stomach grew queasy and she tastes the bitter taste of envy.

That's why... I refuse to speak or look at you. Not until you call my name. I'll remain as your 'Lila' and stay in this cage, where I have you at my beck and call.
