Chapter 26 Conflicts
I walked quicker, but she came after me and held my arm in the living room to stop me
“Didn’t you hear me, you little si?”
I last looked at her. She pulled me closer, and when she pushed her breasts to mine, I got scared. She just laughed out loud. I turned my head away. It wasn’t really her; it was her smell. She smelled strongly of alcohol and that made me nauseous.
“Look at them, b’ch,”
I kept my head away, but she held my
my hair and made me look at her breasts, I closed my eyes.
“Have a good look at them, you useless, ugly cunt. This is how a woman’s body is supposed to look like. This is what Gideon needs. Understand?”
I didn’t move, and that angered her.
our knees.” She shouted.
“Get on your
First, I thought I would just free myself and leave her I could feel that I was much stronger than her. But then I thought about what she would tell Gideon if I would refuse her request. He would punish me for my disobedience. Even if I could deal with her, I wasn’t strong enough to fight with Gideon. And also, Seth’s words echoed in my head.
After I was thinking for a few seconds, I thought that would be better to be obedient, unless she wanted to do something to me which includes s“x. In that case, I would rather die.
I moved onto my knees while she laughed. She put her feet on a chair, opening her legs wildly, I think that was the most disgusting moment in my life. I looked away.
“Look at it, bi“ch.”
And again, she held my head and made me look at it.
“This is the only putty that can satisfy Gideon. He would never need your filthy cnt, understand? Gideon is mine. Keep that in mind.“She let me go, and she smiled at me. She drank a sip of water as she looked around.
“Oh, and bich. The house needs a cleanup. Don’t disappoint me. I have many ways to make you feel you are in hell I be back soon, and if the house is still in
wess, then you are fuked.”
Then she left the room. I honestly hated this woman. I remembered what Gideon said about not defending me against her, but I didn’t want to do what she said. Their mess had nothing to do with me.
I made a sandwich. After I put it on a plate, I took it up into my room. I watched it for a long time, but after what happened I had no appetite at all.
After a shower, I tried to eat a few bites, but my stomach refused. I didn’t want to go back down. I just laid on my sofa, and 1 watched tv.
About an hour passed when my door slammed open. I sat up. It made me jump. Gemma stood there, and she looked at me, fuming.
She walked to me; I
ne; I stood up. As she reached me, she slapped me hard, and with a sudden move she pulled my hair. I got on the floor and she started kicking me, but I got back to my senses after a few kicks.
I lost my mind completely, I was much stronger than her. She was a Barbie copy made by plastic surgery, but I had been a figure skater since I was four years old.
I held her ankle, and I made her fall on the floor. She screamed. I tried to hold myself back from hitting her. I got above her and I held her hands next to her head, holding her back from hitting me..
She kept screaming.
I was out of my mind, gasping in hatred, and kept telling myself I couldn’t harm her when I felt two muscular ams embracing me from behind and it lifted me up off her. I just realised that Gideon shouted at me to stop.
I freed myself from his grip and I moved a few steps away.
Gemma sat up and started crying.
“Gid, she jumped at me. She hurt me. You must kick her out of here before she would harm me more. She might have broken my
Gideon stood there in a boxer only, and apparently, his head wasn’t clear yet. He looked at me, confused. His look told me he believed her. I shook my head in fear, still breathing heavy. He moved his attention back to Gemma as she started screaming again. He held her in his arms, and he walked out of my room with her.
I cried again. I sat back on the sofa and buried my face in my palms. I was certain that this time I would face his anger.
ed like minutes when he came back to me. He walked to me. He made me stared, and my only thought was I had to defend myself, and that i would fight till my last breath. I lost myself completely.
He tried to hold me, but I tried to free myself. Even if he told me to calm down, I fought with him and shouted at him to leave me alone. I scratched his skin on his arm with my fingernails, and punched him in his stomach, which made him rear at me, and he made me realise he was gentle with me till then. I felt his strength, as I couldn’t move. He held me in his arms, keeping me tight. He didn’t move either, just kept me in his embrace, avoiding me from trying to move.
He stayed motionless for a few minutes while I calmed down. He only let me go when I gave up on freeing myself again.
I looked at him, and just then I realised a tissue in his hand. He held my arm, this time gently, and led me into the bathroom. Just then I could see that in the mirror, my nose was bleeding. He made the tissue dump and put it in there.
“I told you not to anger her. Allice, why don’t you listen to me?”
He said that quietly. That was weird. I felt like I should tell him what happened, but would he care? I thought I should try it.
“She forced me to have a look at her naked body, including her lower abdomen that scared and discussed me, and then she ordered me to clean up in the house. Later, she broke into my room to chastise me because I was disobedient. She slapped my face first, pushed me down on the floor, then she kept kicking me. I lost my mind, but I didn’t hurt her. I just tried to stop her.”
He didn’t stop me, but he didn’t answer me either. He kept the tissue there for a few more seconds, then he threw it into the bin.
“It’s stopped bleeding. I’ll call a cleaner to come. Stay in your room
1 nodded, then he left.
I lowered my head. I really didn’t know how I could feel like that. It felt bad to know Gideon was angry with me. Or maybe my feelings changed so mach. If someone was kind to me even a little, I automatically liked that person?
1 took a few deep breaths, then I left the bathroom. I was hungry, but he said not to leave my room, so I went to my bed, covered myself, and tried to fall asleep
Gideon
I felt horrible when I left her room. I couldn’t calm down. The worst was
