His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 39

Aurora POV: -

I bit my lip and glanced at the figure of that arrogant owl. Stupid! Selfish! Idiot!

Arh! I wanted to curse him with every word I was familiar with. I glanced again as he picked another fish. "I wish you would choke on it."

Then I let out a cry. "I just want to eat something, goddamnit!"

"No, Aurora! Have some pride and look away. You can't let yourself degrade to that level that you go to him and ask for some fish," I reminded myself and decided to look away but stopped when I saw that arrogant owl standing up and walking towards me.

He straightened my shoulders and butted my chin out in pride when he stopped near me. "Here, eat it. I know you are hungry." He extended his hand offering the fish to me.

My mouth watered at the sight of that fish but my pride didn't allow me to accept the fish.

"I don't want it," I told him half-heartedly but my eyes were still fixed on the fish as I gulped.

Goddamnit! Why was it so hard not to snatch the fish out of his hand and…

No, don't even think about eating that fish, Aurora! Don't even think about its soft juicy flesh.

Arh! I screamed in my mind. "Look, I know you are hungry so no need to show false bravado and pride, just eat it."

My mouth hangs open. This arrogant bully! How dare he insult me again. Instead of apologising to me for how he treated me, he was insulting me and my pride.

That's it! I stood up and placed a hand on my waist. "Who are you to tell me what I should be doing and what not! A messiah! Some demigod? What ha! Let me tell you one thing, you bull. I would rather eat this sand than anything which touched your hand!" I snapper kicking the sand on the ground with my feet.

He gave me a brief and unimpressive look. "I am offering this for the last time, Wifey!"

I flashed him a smile. "It seems you are hard of hearing. So let me help you using other methods and you certainly don't understand the verbal mode of communication." I snatched the fish from his hand and threw it in the ocean with a crying heart.

"Here goes your fish and now you can take your arrogant ass away from here too."

His eyes flashed in anger. He gripped my elbow in a bruising grip. I gasped in pain. A sudden fear erupted in my heart as the images of him spanking me flashed in my memory.

"Stop being a brat! Did you know how hard it was for me to catch that fish in that Ice cold water with my bare hands?"

"I don't care about your health or anything related to you. You can die in that freezing water for all I care!"

His eyes turned dark. "It seems to me that the earlier punishment was not sufficient for you. You need another lesson to get rid of your bitchiness," And the dark voice made my throat turn dry.

Oh, God! What was he going to do now? He took a step forward, there was no distance left between us now. His warm breath fanned my face and the look in his dark eyes made my back straightened and shiver at the same time.

"You have to show respect to me, wife! Insolence is not something I tolerate!" He muttered and then his lips were on mine.

I tried to push him away from me, "No…" but he ate my words and bit my lips making me grip his arm painfully.

I punched his hand trying to shove him away from me but to no avail. Tears of humiliation pooled in my eyes as I sobbed.

He didn't react in any other way except he moved to my neck now. I took in a sharp and much needed breath.

I flinched in pain. "You are hurting me again!" I said in a broken whisper.I felt him stiffened, he left my neck and gazed at me. Something shifted in his eyes and he left my hand with a jerk.

"Eat the sand you wanted to eat or starve here for all I care." Saying that he whirled around and walked away from me.
