His Beautiful Addiction

Tiana felt bile surge upwards into her mouth as his lips made contact with hers. She had never felt so repulsed all her life; reflexively she opened her mouth to bite on his lips but before her teeth could make any contact with his lips, he let her go.

A burst of mocking laughter resonated in the room as Liam inched away from her, licking his lips;

''Wow, I'm already addicted, can't wait to get my hands on your body, this is what that motherfucker of a brother has been enjoying all these while, haha; ''

Tiana felt goosebumps wash her skin, and nausea take over her; in the next second, she turned her head to the side and vomited on the tiles;

''You… kissed me…''

The mere thought of it made her sick. She never in her whole life thought that she would kiss another man other than Nicklaus, other than her husband. God! Tiana fought back the tears brewing in her eyes; she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her in pain;

''Oh sweetheart, I'll do more than just kissing when I come back, that is after I get you cleaned up and taken to the master bedroom; ''

Tiana felt her stomach churn at his words, and she bit her tongue so tight that she felt the metallic taste of blood in her mouth;

Nicklaus… where are you… please come to my rescue, please don't let this man touch me…

Tiana cried in her heart but she did her best to put up a relaxed expression; after a second of silence; she chuckled'

''Liam, I'll kill you myself, I promise.'' Tiana seethed in a calm but terrifying tone, her eyes dark with grave hatred; for a second, Liam got scared, but remembering she was tied to a chair, he smirked;

''I'm going to kiss that smug off your face soon, just wait. '' he laughed and turned around, walking out of the room. Tiana breathed in sharply as he left the room and the tears on the back of her eyes pushed out instantly and she cried;

She felt so dirty; she never thought she would kiss another person other than Nicklaus and to think after so long, the first lips she kissed was another man's, God!

Her breath ragged as the scene of his lips on hers replayed in her mind, she turned to the side and spat again;

Being weak wasn't going to help her in any way. The fact was that she was caught and she was tied to a chair; she wasn't sure if Nicklaus's even knew who the enemy was yet and if he knew where they were, so before this maniac would touch her she needed to help herself;

Tiana took in a deep breath and looked around the room;

The room was dark with only one bulb casting a little light in the room; she looked around the room which looked like a workshop and her eyes stopped at the table a little away from where she sat;

There were work tools on it and her eyes squinted when they fell on something that looked like a knife.

Tiana gulped as her eyes turned to the door, her heart slamming against her chest. At that moment, she had only one choice, to drag herself to the table and take the knife, because sitting here and doing nothing, and trying but getting caught would still lead to the same end.

She wasn't going to let Liam touch her again; even if it took her last breath, she wasn't going to let him touch her.

Taking a deep breath, Tiana started moving on the chair; that was the toughest task she had ever done because as she pulled herself, the ropes tied to her hand scraped her wrists; she breathed, holding in the pain as she continued pulling herself towards the table.

Tiana breathed out heavily when she got to the table, but there was no time for rest, she had to get the knife and go back to her spot before anyone would come in. The table was a little higher than her so she had to stand to reach the knife, tears stung against her eyes as her fingers shook behind her, she had already exerted much pressure on them, but right now she had no choice.

Closing her eyes, she turned around on the chair, such that her hands were facing the table, and she tried to stand up with the seat;

''ahh… '' a painful groan left her lips as she felt the skin on her hands give way and blood seep down her hand, ''god… '' her eyes blurred and she sat back down on the chair, the pain was unbearable.

Pants of hot breath left her lips as she gathered her strength again, she needed to get that knife because this pain would mean nothing if someone walked right through that door and caught her.

Standing up again, she shut her eyes tightly as she stretched her hands to the table and felt the knife; sliding it slowly, she heaved a sigh of relief when it got into her hand, she sat back on the chair and without wasting a second, started moving back to her spot in the room.

She was a few inches away from her position when she heard footsteps approach; Tiana's eyes widened as she looked towards the door, and she quickly increased her pace,

'god… please…' she cried in her heart as she moved faster, adrenaline taking over. Immediately she reached her spot in the room and turned to face the door, the door flung open and a huge man in black stepped in.

Tiana was sweating all over and she kept her head low, her hair pouring over her face. The man stood in front of her for a moment, his eyes looking around the room;

Tiana's breath ragged as she shut her eyes, quickly hiding the knife in her pants;

''I thought I heard some noise here. '' The huge man spoke as his footsteps approached her. Tiana didn't utter a word; she just kept her head bowed low.

The man walked to her but his steps stopped immediately when he saw the puke by her side;

He sneered and immediately turned around, slamming the door close after him.

Without wasting her second, Tiana picked the knife from her pants and started working on the ropes. Her hands were bleeding too much but it seemed luck was on her side because the knife was quite sharp.

In less than five minutes, she was done with her hands; she quickly cut the ropes on her body and the ones on her feet, standing up quickly. She felt her bones stretch as she stood up from the chair, her heart pounding.

She had never been in this type of situation before, her brain was so muddled, but she stabled herself, she needed to think straight.

First, one thing she was sure of was that they would not kill her, because she was the only leverage they had against Nicklaus, so even if she got caught, she would still be safe_ maybe with some beatings, but she would be alive.

Even if she didn't succeed in running away, she would have bought herself some time, so this was the best idea.

Tiana looked around the room as her eyes glanced at the window and she ran towards it; she peeked down and she saw that they were one story high and below was a little garden of flowers. If she jumped, she would surely get injured but she did not have a choice unless she wanted to be raped. Fixing the knife into her pocket, Tiana raised the window up and sat on it, her legs on the other side. One thing was jumping and the other was making little or no sound when she did it; tears brewed in the back of her eyes as she thought of the pain that was about to hit at her. At the count of three, she jumped over, landing on her feet.

Crack!

Tiana felt the bones on her legs dislocate and she fell to her knees.

Mmm..!

She bit her lower lip holding in the pain, not wanting to make a sound. Tears poured down her face. Whether she liked it or not, she needed to get up and get going unless she wanted to be caught. Putting herself together, Tiana struggled up to her feet, biting in the pain surging from her knees.

She limped forward as she dragged herself into the darkness. 

…

''Hello Nicklaus Howells; ''

Nicklaus stood distraught, his hair disheveled as he watched his men aim their guns at the old dilapidated building in front of him. She was right in there but he could not do a thing in fear of her getting hurt.

Nicklaus held the phone against his ear, his eyes falling to the ground;

''what do you want? ''

A mocking laughter left Liam's lips when he heard Nicklaus's voice.

''Haha, that is sure a nice way to speak to your half-brother, but never mind, no ill feelings, I'm really happy to hear your voice, haha ''

Nicklaus gripped his phone tightly; holding in his anger, he didn't want to say anything that would endanger her life.

''Nicklaus, in a few minutes, I'll be ravishing your beautiful wife's body, oh that ring is so pretty, I should have taken it but I wanted her to wear it while I take advantage of her, but that can be avoided though if you do all I say right now. ''
