Authors pov

Grace felt his hands on her shoulders and her breathing quickened knowing what's coming ahead.

She closed her eyes and sobbed when he unzipped her dress. She couldn't believe that he is still doing it when she is in this condition. 

Dominick took off her heavy dress along with Corset and her undergarments while she was still crying her heart out.

He took off his coat and shirt and picked her up in bridal style. Grace kept her eyes closed thinking about the worst. She knew he is already mad at her because she tried to escape.

"Stop crying"

He said when he placed her down and turned on the shower.

Grace gasped when warm water hit her tensed body. Dominick caressed her cheek.

"Relax... I am not going to do anything."

He assured.

Grace stood there silently as he cleaned her makeup.

"Why?... Why me?"

She mumbled but he didn't answer.

She glared at him.

"Why you destroyed my life... Why did you marry me. Can't you see i don't like you, i don't want to be your wife...."

She yelled frustratingly. All her frustration and anger burst out like a volcano. Dominick stayed calm and kept cleaning her body.

"You don't care about anyone but you... You are selfish. You have given me nothing but pain and humiliation and expect me to become your obedient wife. I refused to take you as my husband.... I hate you"

She cried and he still didn't answer.

"I don't want this, please let me go... I want my freedom back. I can't live like this... Why did you do this, i was so happy that it was going to end..."

She looked at his blank face, he was unfazed.

"Why do you want a wife who doesn't love you?"

First time she was yelling at him. Her words refused to stay in cage. Dominick let her take it out on him, he knows that she is angry, sad and in pain.

"You won't get anything from me, Dominick Moretti. I will never accept you as my husband. You can touch my body however you want but you won't be able to touch my soul."

She looked at him hatefully.

"I hate you..."

"I like challenges."

He replied casually while turning off the shower.

"I am glad you know how to speak."

He grabbed towel and dried her hair.

"You don't care about my feelings, do you?... Can't you understand that i don't want to stay with you."

She spat and pulled her head away from his hold not letting him touch her hair.

"Do it again, I dare you"

He looked at her sternly. He made her wear his shirt.

He tried to grab her hand but she jerked it back.

"Don't touch me."

She yelled.

"I don't want you near me... Leave me alone"

Dominick sighed. He grabbed her by arms and jerked forward making fear rose in her heart.

"I can tolerate everything, you want to speak your heart, i am here to listen. You want anything, I'll give it to you. You are free to do whatever you want but if you dared to push me away or tried to escape then no one can save you from me."

He warned.

"I am trying to be patient, don't fucking try me."

Grace gulped letting her tears slide.

"I don't want this"

She sobbed.

Dominick sighed and carried her towards the bed. Her breathing quickened when he laid her down on the bed which was full of rose petals. He slide down beside her and she tried to scoot away.

He grabbed her by waist and pulled her closer. Grace couldn't stop her crying it was like a open tap. She tried to move but he was holding her firmly.

She thought he is going to have sex with her but surprisingly he didn't try anything like that. He was just holding her closer.

"Turn around"

He said but she didn't listen.

He was quite surprised knowing that she has started fighting back but he was relieved that at least she is responding.
