Chapter 22: No sex is allowed

LESLIE’S POV .

I WAS NEVER YOURS

“ It’s fine , you don’t have to tell me anything if you not feeling well “,Just as l opened my mouth to speak that l was going to get married soon , he cut me off and soon lips coated with desperation met mine . His tongue entered my mouth swirling and tasting begging me to reciprocate . Though l knew it that I shouldn’t let this drag on for so long , I quickly responded to his kiss .

He was in gained so deep in me and it felt impossible to resist him . We kissed for a pretty good time but then just as l felt his fingers move in between my legs , l quickly pulled out of the kiss before pushing his chest which moved with no resistance on to the mattress next to me . With that l rolled to the edge and l stood .

“ Leslie … “, He reached out and gripped my hand . I could feel my eyes starting to fill with tears. Slowly l turned and looked at him . It was him l all wanted but I now had to let him go . “ Please don’t go Leslie , be mine l will take care of you , l promise “, He murmured in a low voice. “ Am sorry , l can’t do this “, A single traitorous tear slide down my cheek.

Releasing his grip on my hand , he reached out to wipe the tear away but l stepped back . I took another and another before I knew it l was already racing through the woods towards where l had parked my car. Pain ripped at my chest , more tears streamed down my face but there was no looking back.

I just realized that I love Phillip but I will never see him again . Reaching my car , my chest heaved up and down trying to suck in as much air as possible . Forgetting about him , l entered the car only to find my phone ringing. Knowing who was ringing , l quickly answered it . “ Yes “,. It was my father .

“ Where are you ? , We have your marriage meeting in 2 hours , this is not about you , it’s about the whole family , my company “, He roared out harshly. “ am sorry I also track of time but am on my way “,l replied as l quickly started the car again. It would only take me a few minutes to reach home and so I had a few minutes to compose myself . No more crying though l was going in a hell of life .

My father never used to be like this but ever since my mother died , he became cold because his company declined . He used to be protective of me saying that l will only get married when I want but now he was selling me like a prized pig. He used to be gentle on me but now he lays his hands on me. He punishes me .

As soon as I arrived at our estate , l saw him bursting through the front doors . Stepping out of my car , l involuntarily cowered as his hand gripped mine and yanked me inside . He almost threw me inside my room with jerk of his hand . My knees hit the floor with a thud but he didn’t care , the door slammed behind me as he left without any word .

A lady who was probably waiting to do my makeup helped me from the floor . “ Are you okay ?”, I couldn’t reply to her without letting a flood of emotions so I nodded before pulling from her gentle hold and headed to the shower . With in an hour and twenty minutes l was ready showered , hair, makeup , dress , jellewery , everything .

I lastly headed down to the foyer where l had no doubt my father was waiting to take me for sale . I would have ran away with Phillp but my mother would have been disappointed in me , before dying she advised never to disobey my father . We walked together in silence in the car . No word was spoken and he was all gloomy faced.

With in twenty minutes we had reached another estate . It was far bigger than our own . As we exited the car a young man only a few years older than myself waited for us . “ Welcome it’s a pleasure to meet you both , l know we have spoken much on the phone , Mr Williams “, l couldn’t even listen as they exchanged their pleasantries. . I couldn’t think of anything except the desperation in Phillip’s kiss , the look in his eyes when he begged me to stay .

With a little shove which held more power than necessary , l was forced forward. I was lost in my thoughts so my father shoved me inside . I realized at this moment that we were being taken in the estate . After entering , the man guiding us excused himself for a minute . With him gone , I looked at my father , surely did he still love me as his daughter. “ Daddy please don’t make me do this “, I didn’t cry , my voice didn’t crack though l wanted to sound weak .

At my words , my father’s eyes instantly glared at me with such malice that I took a step back. Without wasting any minute , he strode forward and caught my wrist . A small whimper left my mouth at the strength of his grip and to make matters worse it just increased . “ I can’t do this , l won’t do this ,am sure mom wouldn’t have been happy , she wouldn’t have allowed this “, l struggled to get myself free.

“ You selfish little wench “, he spat the words at me while gripping my wrist more tighter. “ So you do want my company to decline ?”, His voice grew louder . I was sure that everyone heard him but still no body was ready to fight for me. I had to do it myself . “ Whatever the case am not getting married “,l yelled with force as I ripped my wrist from his hold . I clutched it to my chest because the pain was pulsing through it .

“ Am not a tool for you to use , am your daughter and l do have someone l love , am not going through with this marriage , l don’t care if you lose everything “, l continued as l backed up further towards the door as rage filled up my father’s features . . His teeth became visible as they gnashed together causing his jaw to visibly tighten.

Turning the door knob behind me , l almost fall out of the room . I kept backing up faster as he approached me . Quickly spinning With fear urging me forward , l all of the sudden smacked into a hard surface .
