Taming my contracted husband

Today makes it a complete three months since I left prison. I miss that place a little bit. It was quiet at least. This place is fucking cold,I hate it.

" It's so saddening to hear that the Raymond family has lost another member " the newscaster says on the TV. Everyone knows who the Raymond family is. They're the richest family in the whole of USA. I definitely do not wish to be from that family now. No one does. They are dying like chickens with coccidiosis. Everyone thinks it's a result of the ongoing misunderstanding within the brothers . I thought my life had the worst history but atleast I'm not the only one out there. Imagine your net worth falling from 22 million dollars to working as a waitress in a bar,though it's famous,this bar has a degree at overpricing drinks. It's that bad!!

" Hennessey please " a husky voice says. I have to attend to him so I turn around lazily. This can't be true. It's impossible. I'm probably blind right now. It's an illusion!!!!

" Are you real?" I ask,staring at him,his white teeth shining brightly. What sort of a stupid question is that? If course he is real.

" Yes I am" he replies and his face drops. It's impossible. Totally impossible. He can't be here. I'm seeing things.

" Daniel " I say out quietly,my face showing I'm shocked. I just wish there's a knife close by so I can stab him right now. I expected him to never return.

" Why are you here?" I ask him,looking around to see if there's anyone staring at us. He is staring at my opened chest. It's done by all the waitresses to attract customers.

" One Hennessy please" he says,ignoring my question,smiling brightly like nothing happened. Like it's alright. How dare he? Is it not bad enough I have to walk in this ridiculous place all day?

" Should I file a complaint for bad services here?" He asks and I shut my mouth that was slightly open in surprise. I turn around and I bring out a bottle of Hennessey from the fridge. I place it on the counter,waiting for payment .

He hands me his credit card " I'm sure you remember the password. " He smiles and it's disgusting. I'm not going to lie to you,this man is handsome. No,handsome is an insult, he is beautifully and cutely handsome. He has to be God's replica with an attitude from the devil. I debit him and I hand him back his card,not wanting to look at that demonic face again. My day is successfully ruined. Thank God it's just one hour left for my shift to be over. " I won't drink it from a closed bottle " he says and takes a seat by the counter. I utterly hate it when some men sit by the counter especially him. Words are not enough to describe how much I hate him. This is not even about our broken relationship.

I cork the cover open and I pour the Hennessy into a tumbler. The bar is pretty small because it's an underground and secret bar. This is where I met Daniel and he changed my life for the worst. He takes a sip and stares at me in the eye,making me want to kill him. " It's pretty dark in here " he says immediately the lights go off. This usually happens every week. One disadvantage of running an underground bar for celebrities and the rich. There's a restaurant right on top of us. Same owner.

" Did you ever miss me?" He asks,irritating me . I walk away to the other side of the counter,hoping another customer comes. Just at that moment,my prayers gets answered. Mr Ryan Raymond walks in with his troop of bouncers. I stare at him,utterly disgusted. He is narcissistic and feels too entitled. I stare at him,trying to hide my disgust. He walks to the best spot in the large room and sits on a large couch,chasing everyone away from it. There are celebrities but there is a celebrity!!. The only form of light there is just three lamps and they are not doing much good.

Thirty minutes left for my shift to be over,he signals me to come to him. I reluctantly do so,hoping he doesn't make advances towards me. I hate it when men make advances towards me.

" Do you have pot? " He asks and I stare at him,even in this dark space,I can still see his beauty. He is even more beautiful than Daniel just more devilish.

" Do you?" He asks, taking me out of my trance. I can feel Daniel staring at me from the other side of the room and it's not funny.

" No. We don't " I reply,disgraced. I don't even know why I'm disgraced.

" Zip up your shirt " he says and I do so as everyone is staring at me. My boss comes down in that moment and gives me a sly smile. It's definitely not what he thinks but I don't even want to explain. I walk back to the counter,hoping the remaining twenty-five minutes would rush by fast.

" In the past,he would have been our new target " Daniel says and I stare at him. Ignoring him,I start to arrange my things as my replacement is here.

" You fucking stole 22 million dollars from me . What more do you want?" I ask him,in a really low but angry tone. I'm pissed off,I swear.

Why won't he leave me?

" I want you " he says and I laugh. His serious face breaks into a smile.

" What's funny?" He asks,his bright eyes,staring into my eyes.

" You want me? How stupid exactly are you?" I ask and his face frowns. He hates insults and I know that's his trigger. I remember the first day I insulted him at his friend's house in a party,he gave me a scar on my left hand. Had to make a tattoo there.

" Keep dreaming " I say and I pick my things up as my coworker meets me.

" Thanks for covering up for me,yesterday and today. See you in a week and two days time " she says and gives me a light hug.

I walk out with my bags in my hand. I've been there for a week and two days and now I have same amount of time to myself alone at home. I'm off!!!

I walk out knowing Daniel is staring at me. If he thinks he can woo me again,he is definitely wrong. I almost went to jail for that fool. It's already 11pm but it seems like daytime in New York. I mean,the streets are still busy and everyone's out, including kids. Oh...it's Halloween. I just realized that as I see kids in costumes. It's a pity the rain will ruin their night. The clouds are getting dark and it's getting windy. I just hope I find a taxi soon. I need to finish the amazing book I started last week. I'm halfway through and the suspense is killing.

" Hey " someone says and I turn around. It better not be Daniel. Surprisingly yet not so surprisingly Ryan is staring at me. His bouncers are with him of course . " Sorry " I reply and I walk away. He follows me. Why?

" It's about to rain. You will need a ride home " he says to me and I stare at him,confused. I'm not talking for this kind of gimmick.

" I don't need a ride from a narcissistic,over entitled, rude and annoying person like you " I say to him with all my confidence. It feels good to say it but it would have felt better if I had said it out loud so he can hear me. I just said it in my head.

He walks to his car,thinking my silence means an approval. He stops halfway and stares at me fixed in my position.

" I can't go with you,sorry " I decline politely and my voice becomes very light for no reason. I can feel my chest tighten as he stares at me. I really wish the ground would just take me in right now.

" You will get drenched. It's going to rain " he says and immediately,the rain starts pouring,heavily. Does the rain obey him? I bet not . My stubborn self has decided to not enter his car,even if it means I'll be in this rain for thirty minutes,drenched. He walks towards me,obviously furious. He pulls my arm and drags me to his car,his grip tight. I don't even bother resisting as I know I'm too weak and deep down I need this ride. I turn around to pick my phone that falls from my pocket. The phone is not water proof so I have to get a new one and I'm very broke . I'm waiting for the end of the month. I pick it up anyways. Getting up,I sight Daniel staring at me from a distance,he is grinning. That smile used to make my day but now it makes me want to commit murder.

I walk into his car and two bouncers sit next to me. They forcefully Lay my back down and being a weakling,it is easy. They seal my mouth with a tape and they further tie my hands with a cord. This is not a romantic introduction of couples. He is not being sweet....my life is in danger. What if he kills me? What if he knows of my past? What if he is working with Daniel? What will happen to me? What will this ruthless man do to me? What?
