Chapter 24 2

Flashback (Continued From the chapter: The Devil Back Then, where Carolina shot a bullet).

Her fingers were pressed on the trigger while her eyes were shut tightly. My body was screaming at me to run and save her but my mind was frozen by fear. But at that moment, I kept aside my hated, and only remembered my parent's teachings about humanity.

Thus, before she can press the trigger, I ran in her direction, and just when the trigger was pressed, I raised her hand in the air letting the bullet fire in the air.

"Carolina!!" I yelled seeing her body slump down on the ground. I sat on my knees as she immediately threw herself in my arms causing my entire body to extreme rigidity.

"I love you so much, Daniel. Please don't leave me". She was begging me. Her lips were quivering while she was pressing light kisses on my chest. I closed my eyes frustrated, at her, myself, and my fate.

"Please love me. I can't live without you". She begged pulling back, but her fists gripped my collars. Tears were flowing down her eyes and finally, as I put my sisters in her place, I realized that I wouldn't want one of them to ever be in such a situation. And how bad can it be if I give it a shot?

So, there I gave her my consent.

"Okay, relax. I am with you, but I can't promise that I will fall in love with you because I don't believe in it. We will give this relationship a chance, is it okay?" I suggested hoping that she might reject this option, but to my shock, she pulled me in for a kiss, crashing her lips against mine.

She licked and sucked my lips, while I was in a daze. I didn't feel a thing but only discomfort.

Pulling away, with a tight smile, I helped her up as she clung to me for dear life.

And what followed from there was worse than a disaster!

She dragged me in the school corridor, yelling her excitement about our relationship, shocking everyone. Every girl looked at me with hate and accusations. Only if they knew that where was I stuck?

The news traveled like fire, and soon everyone knew about us, along with my family. My parents and sisters were thrilled, whereas Josh was the only one who understood my situation, but he was helpless too.

"You alright, Dan?" He inquired a few months later, seeing me sitting quietly on the porch of our house. I nodded hoping that he wouldn't pester further, but instead, I felt him wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"Sometimes in life we have to make certain decisions, which might not seem for our personal benefit, but on a practical basis, they might seem good; maybe because they are helping someone!" He advised leaning against my shoulder, as we sat in silence.

"Don't worry. I am here for you. Whenever you want to talk, just remember this brother of yours". He said kissing my cheek like his style making me smile a little. He surely beat me in maturity.

He stood up to go in, but I held his hand, and confessed, "Thank you bro. I love you". Smiling at me, he nodded winking at me, showing his answer, and after hectic days, I felt at ease.

But that uncanny feeling returned immediately the next day when Carolina called me to her house in the night because her mother was out at her friend's place.

I was happy that we didn't have classes together, but hell she glued to me all the time making it impossible for me to even breathe. She was like an insect sticking on my skin. But how was I supposed to get rid of her now?

With a racing heart, I entered her house which was just three houses away from ours. The door was opened already, so I just stepped in without thinking much. The home was dimly lit, while I can hear, soft music from upstairs.

"Carolina!" I called softly hearing my voice in the lonely house.

"Up, here in my room, love". She replied and taking two steps at a time, I reached her room. The second I entered the room, I felt like I have entered the prison. Everything was so dark and screaming evilness. From the curtains to the sheet and carpet everything was black.

My eyes scanned the room and finally landed on the figure that was standing in a black short dress, near the window. Her hairs were open, while she applied red lipstick on her lips.

She walked towards me like a seductress, alerting me of her intentions. Reaching me, she placed her lips on mine, forcing me to kiss her full on the mouth. Half-heartedly, I kissed her draping my arms around her body, trying to even feel some passion for the girl who was my official girlfriend in front of the world. But there was nothing. No desire. No sparks.

"I love you. Let's make love, please". She forced pushing me down on the bed. I was so uncomfortable for the first time in my entire life during intimacy. It felt like my organs were not supporting me. I wasn't into sex, to begin with, and on top of that, her kisses were ridiculous. They were making me feel disgusted with myself.

But the rational part of me suggested having sex with her; maybe once she gets the pleasure from me, she will automatically dump me on her own.

So as much as I was hating it, I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer, kissing her every inch. I flipped her around, coming over her. Lust was present in her eyes, while I was sure I had nothing. I was blank and I was only doing this to get rid of her permanently.

She pulled me down wildly, moaning her obsessed love to me, while I kissed her frustrated and irritated because it was the worst sex of my life.

She slept once I pulled out from her, while angry at myself, I wore my clothes back, and left her on the bed, all alone.

Days were passing in a blur because my life was hell. Forced relationship, forced sex, and forced kisses. I was so badly trapped that I wasn't able to exit. The school was getting worse, but I was trying my best to not disappoint my parents. Final exams were near, and I was so drained emotionally and physically.

Girls stayed out of my path because let's accept it, I was taken now. Only if they knew.

Two days were left for the exam, and finally having enough, I dialed Stephanie to meet me in our usual hotel where we have a room to ourselves but little did, I knew that I was being watched.

At first, even Stephanie was reluctant, but my charms were still intact.

"Babe, don't you feel the attraction anymore?" I inquired kissing her jaw, as she gripped my shoulders tightly.

"What about that horrible bitch?"

"Forget about her, will you?" And that was the end of it, as we undressed each other like starved animals. I threw her on the bed, as she laughed seeing my eagerness. We might not be together, but hell she was still my favorite on the bed.

We were lost in our world only when the door burst open and we both heard a gasp.

I pulled away from Stephanie, sitting beside her as she covered herself with the duvet. I didn't know how the hell, she barged inside, but I knew that I was in trouble.

The look of shock was plastered on Carolina's face, as she eyed mine and Stephanie's naked body on the bed. We were sitting close to the other while she stood in front of me with a mad look on her face. I knew it was the worst thing I could have ever done to her after getting into a relationship with her; but hell, it wasn't my fault that I never liked her.

I never felt any attraction towards her, nor did I found an intense desire to claim her as mine which I felt with all other girls.

I clarified to her beforehand only that she can never win over me, but she was one stubborn psychotic female who thought I was a property to be owned. She thought she could impress me by offering her body, by seducing me, but she didn't know that I was least bothered about all this.

I didn't care about sleeping with her, because it was forced. Every single damn thing was forced between us by her. Then how can she even think that I will care about her so-called obsession for me because she offered me sex?

The thought of touching her also made me cringe in disgust. I never thought I will develop such strong hatred for her after sleeping with her for once, but hell she was one vamp truly trapped in the body of a teenager who wanted to achieve anything and everything.

"How could you do this to me?" Her roar brought me out of my trance. I turned to my right to see Stephanie dressing up already with a hint of guilt in her eyes. What?? Now, why the hell was she guilty?

Arghh, these dumb females were driving me mad!

"I didn't do anything to you. I clearly told you in the start only that I don't like you in that way. I mean look at yourself; You have got a weird behavior, you literally forced me to be with you by blackmailing me with your life, how do you even expect that after the hell you put me through, I am going to feel a thing for you?" I retorted back gathering my discarded jeans lying on the front edge of the bed.

She didn't speak nor she moved, she just stood there in a trance, with a teary gaze staring right in my eyes trying to take the sincerity of my words but I was surely more than honesty, I contained hostility and rage for her.

I waited for her to say something but ....

She was frozen in her place eyeing me menacingly.

"Do you love her, Price?" She suddenly roared. Her eyes were so scary now that Stephanie held me by my upper arm.

"Don't you dare touch him, bitch. You knew he was mine, yet you gave into his desires." Stephanie flinched beside me, on the verge of crying.

"I am not your property, that I can't see anyone else. Stop using that card now!"

"Daniel, don't this to me. I love you baby". She cried, still playing that love card.

"Stop it, Carolina. Don't you see that I despise you? I don't feel a thing for you. And you are not in love, but you only lust me, which had turned into obsession. If I didn't love my parents enough, then by now I would have discarded you in a trash can already. So, leave me alone, now. I am done with you. I was giving you a chance because my family loves you, but you wouldn't take a no so now we will deal with this in my way. I am breaking up with you, Carolina Rodriguez. Get the hell out of my life!" I screeched angrily at her pouring out months of torture in my outburst.

Her eyes looked horrified at me, but then clasping a hand over her mouth, she ran away, making me feel guilty all of a sudden.

Present

I opened my tired and heavy eyes, to see Serena sitting there stiff. There was no expression on her face. She looked in my direction, and I was hoping to see her trust in me, but instead, she was blank.

Did I lose her as well?

Before I can utter a word, she stood up and without even glancing at me, she walked out of my office, leaving me with a guilty conscience and only one question.

Was I unforgivable in her eyes?
