She stared at him through her wet eyelashes as her tears threatened to fall. Her body stayed still on the bed while he looked down at her with the sinister smirk plastered on his face. He pulled the belt off his pants before throwing it somewhere on the floor. Creaking his neck bone he brushed the tip of his nose with his index finger before getting on the bed and hovering over her.

ZAIDEN : "How pretty you are looking caged under me. Defended and helpless." His knees are either both sides of her body while he balanced himself placing his hands beside her head. Learning down he traces his nose down her jawline before planting a slow torturing kiss on her collarbone. "I ordered you something. Don't make me wait little wifey, I ain't patient man." Closing her eyes she took a deep breath before staring at him with her burning pair of eyes.

IVY : "You just want this body, don't you?"

ZAIDEN: "What else do you have to give me?" He tilted his face running his tongue on his bottom lip like her taste is still lingering there. She stayed silent while he looked at her with his piercing eyes. "You have nothing to give me except this pretty little body of yours which I will gladly receive cause I own you Lantsov Ivy."

IVY : "We took vows together, you married me in front of our family don't act like I'm just your new toy to play." He let out an evil chuckle sending shivers down her spine.

ZAIDEN : "I f*cking hate this mouth of yours when it tests my nerves. Your words are fierce but I am evil. I will ruin you in every way possible that you will always be on your knees begging for my mercy." His eyes pierced through her soul like he is hunting it wanting to devour any second.

IVY : "I ain't an angel dear husband. If you ruin me, I will burn you. You can make me go on my knees for you, but I will make you crawl to me." She dug her nails adding more pressure until felt them pierced through his skin. She felt something warm on her nails while he just stared down at her blankly without showing any bit of emotion let alone any amount of pain.

ZAIDEN : "You are playing with fire Ivy."

IVY : "My touch is fire and I will burn you with Lantsov Zaiden."

ZAIDEN : "You kept triggering my patience and I swear I wasted enough time with the shi!ty talks now you will see the beast inside of ME ! I won't ever let your skin stay lonely, there will always be my marks on it which will remind you to whom you belong. Say it Ivy, to whom you belong?" He let out a dark chuckle receiving silence from her. "Why is that fierce mouth silent now ?". before saying this, he bite on her earlobe.

IVY : "We made a deal, aren't we? Have me the way you want and complete this night, I just want it to end soon." She said those words to him with blank look on her face.

ZAIDEN : "Are you feeling like you are trapped by your own words?" She felt like suddenly the air thickened. Looking at him all she can see is his scary darkened eyes which are enough to scare anyone to death. "What do you think of my little wifey?"

IVY : "Aren't you the one who says, you are the monster of my Nightmares?" Learning down towards her face he gently brushed his lips with her.

ZAIDEN : "Everyone calls me a monster then why can't I actually like one ?" Her brow arched at his words while he let out a low chuckle sending chills down her spine."Yes I'm the monster and this monster will hunt you slowly but painfully that you will get addicted to the pain I will cause you. Mark my work Lantsov Ivy." Saying this he removed his hold from her waist before getting down from the bed. Grabbing his shirt from the floor he walked towards the door angrily, storming out the room he shut the door behind him aggressively making a loud sound.

Suddenly she felt the room become cold and dead. She stayed on the bed just like how he left her, devastated and messed up with unknown emotions. The lack of his warm made her body shiver since the moment he freed her from his hold. She stared at the ceiling blankly while the last tear drop left her eyes before the darkness engulfed her.

Standing in front of the mirror she took a deep breath noticing the Mark's printed all over her upper body. She bit on her bottom lip remembering all the incidents from last night. He never returned after storming out angrily which somehow made her relieved but deep down she wondered where he had been.

IVY : "but assh*le did ruin my skin with his ugly marks !" Clenching her fists she took the vase from the counter and threw it to the floor in anger. Running her fingers through her hair in frustration she looked down at her body, her fingers touched the bite marks and she hissed in pain at the sudden contact.

After finishing the bath she stepped inside the closet about which one of the maid had informed her zaiden already arranged all her necessary items in their shared closet. She glared at the side where his things are nearly placed like he himself is standing there and she is trying to scare him off. She heard a knock on the door as she snapped her face towards it.

IVY : "Who is it ?"

Maid : "Mam sorry to disturb you but sir is expecting you downstairs."

IVY : "yeah tell him to expect only cause I'm beyond his expectations." She mumbled to herself not wanting to hear. Getting down the stairs the first thing caught her eyes is zaiden sitting on the sofa with his legs spread, his head tilted backward, a cigarette is in between his lips. He exhaled the toxic smoke in the air and gulped causing his adams apple to bop up and down. His sleeves are rolled Upward while first few buttons are undone as she quickly looked away before he can feel his gaze when her eyes fall on his toned chest.

LUKAS : "Finally the girl we have been waiting for." Her eyes scanned the room from where the voice come and finally caught the sight of two other man sitting on the opposite to zaiden. "Hey pretty, I have been dying to meet you since I got to know zaiden is getting married." Walking towards her he stood a few feet away from her, " Myself Lukas ". introducing himself he took her hand and was about to kiss her knuckles when from the corner of his eyes he noticed a pair of eyes throwing death glared at him like. Instant of kissing he grabbed her hand with his both hands before shaking then with a smile.

IVY : "I am Ivy -"

ZAIDEN : "Lantsov Ivy." He said in the middle cutting her words off when both of them looked at his direction and saw his piercing gaze stuck on her while the cigarette resting in his fingers. Lukas freedom her hand from his hold while kai came towards them.

KAI : " Kai Knight." She nodded her head with a smile returning the faded smile which curved on the corner of his lips.

IVY : "Nice to meet you, but what should I call you ?"

LUKAS : "call me handsome, pretty girl."  He winked playfully running his fingers through his hairs but flinched hearing a loud noise from zaiden's direct. Lukas turned his back towards zaiden not wanting to meet his eyes knowing those must be throwing daggers at him.

KAI : " We both are thirty, clearly a decade older than you but just call us by our names." He said putting his hand on his pockets when she nodded glancing in between them suddenly realising how their giant body is towering over a small one but she realised they Aren't as intimidating as zaiden. Grabbing his arm lukas started to drag him towards the exit which kai jerked his hand from lukas hold while cursing at him walking out of the house. When they went out of the view Zaiden stood in front of her while putting his hands in his pocket.

ZAIDEN : "Hiding my marks with the sh!tty makeup?" Poking his tongue on his cheek he stared at the little open place of her neck where he can remember the few bit marks he left last night.

IVY : "You don't think I will show them off, did you ?" She replied maintaining the daring eye contact with him while he stepped dangerously close to her body but she stayed still in her place not wanting to give him satisfaction to scare her.

ZAIDEN : "I will make you, I swear." Bending down towards her ear he whispered giving a lick on her earlobe.

                      ────୨ৎ────

Slamming his fists on the table harshly he looked at the person standing on the other side of the table with a bloody angry expression making the person's knees go weak in fear.

MR. WINTER: "You useless piece of sh!t. How dare you come in front of me telling me your failure!"

MAN : "Sir we are trying. Our forces are on the field working day and night."

MR. WINTER : "Shut up! Just shut your mouth. How did he even run away in the first place ? "

MAN : "we are suspecting someone helped him---" he stopped when Mr. Winter walked forward and grabbed his collar tightly.

IVAN : "Father, calm down." Ivan who was standing in a corner all along finally ran to Mr. Winter to free the man from his grip. The man bowed to him before leaving the room .

MR. WINTER : "Don't disappoint me like them, Ivan. Remember to fulfill your duties I gave you."

IVAN : "Always Father." He nodded his head before exiting the room. While mr.winter sat on his chair letting out a deep sigh.

Standing near the basin Ivy is wiping the edge of her dress with a wet napkin after accidentally slipping juice on it. Suddenly the door of the bathroom burst open making her flinch at the sudden loud noise. She turned around to face the intruder only to meet with a furious zaiden covered in blood literally from head to toe.

Her eyes widened as she gasped no word coming out of her mouth witnessing the bloody monster standing just a few feet away from her. He tilted his head at the sight of her and took some calculated steps towards her. A devilish smirk placed on his lips when he noticed the fear on her face which she is trying to hide but he is wicked enough to point it out in a blink.

ZAIDEN: "Are you afraid, My wifey?"

she slowly tried to walk away when he grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the counter with his body. She looked down and saw blood stains on her dress and her wrist where he was holding her.

IVY: "Stay away, you're making me sick".  she felt nauseated at the smell of blood as she struggled to get out of his grip.

ZAIDEN : "Get used to it Ivy. This is how you're gonna see me for the rest of your life."

IVY: "You are disgusting, Zaiden." He let out a dark chuckle placing his face closer to hers while she leaned backward.

ZAIDEN: "No doubt about that. Blood gives me peace, and I am highly satisfied when I am covered in my enemies blood." she widened her eyes while trying to push him away. "Stop struggling with my little warrior, you can't win over me." Tightening his grip around her wrist he dragged her towards the glass door.

IVY : "leave me alone!!" She started to hit his chest but he didn't budge.

ZAIDEN:"Never Ivy, never!"

Getting down the stairs Ivy was about to go towards the dinning room when she noticed a figure back facing her while talking on the phone in the distance. The next moment the man turned around after realising someone's presence. Ivy felt intimidated when that man's dark orbs met hers and she knows instantly who he is. She had seen him twice but never got introduced.The man hung up the call before taking some steps towards her

MR. LANTSOV: "I guess you already know who I am?"

IVY :"I heard from people but neither your son nor you introduced yourself."He put the phone back in his pocket while brushing the tip of his nose with his index finger.

Ivy observed his features closely and noticed even though he is in his late forties he still looks bulky and fit, not to mention his tall figure is towering over her even though he is standing maintaining a quiet distance from her. He carries the same dark aura Zaiden does and still there's something different, even though his face still has the sharp features which Zaiden got from him, but it's hard to read his emotionless face.

MR. LANTSOV: " don't forget the surname unless you want to get in trouble" he replied walking away while she narrows her eyes looking in his direction.

IVY : "He has a strange aura, like something is hidden behind his shadows , this man is weird".

I will use you WINTER IVY and then throw you like trash before making sure you will be shattered in front of me....
