Chapter 7 - The beginning of her suffering

"Get up and strip ", he commanded, his voice low but cold. Deadly.

Pure contempt filled his features.

Adrenaline rushed her body, she shot on her feet, her eyes widened.

" S - strip?",she stuttered 

He stood, silent. Not intending to repeat himself. His expression darker than ever.

She gulped, " I can't. I am not your whore!"

Still he stood there, silent. His gaze dark and dangerous.

" Don't make this hard. Strip ", he ordered again. 

She shot her head, fear crept through her.

" No. ", She insisted. " I am your hostage not your whore. You have stripped me of my life, I shall not have you strip me of my dignity. No, I shall not strip for you. "

He stood, silent. His eyes never left her face. Her defiance reminded him of his early days in the dark dungeon, he had acted like she did now. And he hates it, he hated that she reminded him of those days.

They stared at each other, the malice between them glaring. Evident.

Slowly, leaned out of the wall and stalked towards her. His steps slow and predatory.

" Let me get one thing straight", he prompted, he ran his hand through her hair slowly. It sent shivers down her spine.

He grabbed her hair and yanked on it hard, almost knocking her off her feet. She winced as pain seared through her.

" You are my hostage. My property now. And I shall have every right to get you to do what I want and you will do just that. Or I will have you whip", his eyes flashed red. " I would love nothing more than to have you punished "

He pulled on her hair tightly.

" Please...", she whimpered. Her voice filled with pain. Her scalp burns .

Disgust flashed through his face, he let go .

" Now strip "

She hesitated, her gaze pleading. Trying to get through the cold man before her. She can't afford to lose her virginity now, not this way. Not to him.

" Please...", she whispered, tears rolled down her face.

He stood still, waiting for her . He won't change his mind.

I'll do anything. Anything but this your highness ", she pleaded.

Without warning, he grabbed her fabric roughly and shred it, revealing her almost naked figure. 

" No...", she yelled, she hugged herself trying to cover her exposed breast.

Instinctively, She shifted backwards, trying to get away from him.

" Please...", she wept, she held his gaze pleadingly." Please don't do this to me. Please"

She is princess Sabrina, princess and heir of the most powerful kingdom. No, that was once a powerful kingdom.Tonight, she will lose her virginity, in the worst way ever. To her enemy. It will kill her, he knows that too

Taking a princess to bed without any conjugal bliss, will destroy her. Words will spread and she will lose her dignity forever.

" Please, I am not him. I am not my father", she pleaded.

He stood still, muted.

" I was innocent too. I was ten ", he began.

She stared at his stoic face, filled with hate.

" A young boy I was, I had to deal with the reality of my parents killed. My sister dead.My home gone. I ran but your father captured me and threw me into the dark dungeon", he said, his gaze cold and savage, filled with contempt.

Hearing him speak to her directly of what her father did, she almost felt pity for him then she remembered the situation she was in. 

"You know the dark dungeon, you know how horrible that place is. In there, your evil father tortured me, he destroyed me. Just like you now, I pleaded. What does a ten year old knows. But that kept on for two years. TWO YEARS " ,he roared, enraged.

Sabrina flinched in fear, her pulse racing.

" Judrith has no reason to spare me, so do I. Now remove your underthings and get on the bed ", he ordered.

Her heart sank, tears blurred her vision. She opened her mouth to plead again

" Don't you dare plead, Sabrina or I swear by the heavens I will kill you", he threatened, the dangerous look on his face made her shiver .

He really will kill her. He meant it. This is her fate now. Her life.

With a trembling hand, she removed the rest of her clothings and stood stark naked before him.

He stared at her, no lust, just hate. Pure loath.

Then why? Why would he want to sleep with her if he does not desire her whatsoever.

" On the bed "

With wobbly legs, she climbed the bed and lay on it. Her legs tightly pressed together.

Times stretched, he didn't move.

It gave her hope, maybe, just maybe, he will change his mind.

To her misery, she heard the silent ruffle of his clothes. She shut her eyes in agony. This was really happening. This is happening to her.

She felt his presence, and her eyes snapped open, filled with fear and silent pleading. She held his gaze, hoping it would get to him .

But his mind was made up already.

He climbed up to her, grabbed her hips and widened her legs. Tears burnt her eyes, she grabbed his arm.

"Please, please don't do this to me..", she pleaded, trying to turn away from him.

He didn't budge. She felt the tip of his organ at her entrance and she gasped.

" Please, please", she wept, struggling.

" Stay still Princess", he snapped.

She went on with her pleading, crying earnestly.

" I'll do anything, please don't do this"

He grabbed her shoulder roughly, and steadied her thrashing body on the bed..

Without warning he pushed forward with one long hard thrust. 

A sharp cut.

" Pleas..... ahhh", she screamed out in intense pain. 

He stilled completely and she let out a tear filled scream, the pain shooting through her core was indescribable. It burnt her. Her whole body was raging with pain.

" Please", she cried in pain. " It hurts . It hurts ", she cried miserably.

He didn't hold back. His hands caged her, he pulled back and plunged into her roughly again 

" Ahh ", she swirled her head in pain, her throat clogged with tears . She dipped her fingers into his back, and scratched him.

Twisting her body under his brutality.

He didn't bulge. More like his body has mastered pain. He stilled

" You are hurting me ", she cried, her agonized sobs loud.

" Please", she cried again, her face twisted with pain, intense pain.

Suddenly, he pulled away, rose from the bed. She stood still on the bed weeping, her body unable to move. 

" I'll be back and by that time you better be prepared", with that, he stormed out of her room.

No, she will never be prepared. She has to get away from him. He is a monster.

-------------

He met Lady Harriet pacing at his entrance, she was waiting for him.

She stilled on sighting him.

" I was waiting for you", she muttered.

She knew. With the way she was staring at him, horrified, she knew what he had done.

" It's midnight. You should be asleep", he said closing the distance between them.

She gazed at the man before her, how could he has changed so much? Damon would never hurt anyone.

She knew what judrith did to him, but this man standing in front of her woulld never hurt anyone.

Judrith really destroyed him beyond words.

" You should go to bed " he said, walking past her.

" I heard screams. Her screams ", she said. He halted on his tracks, silent.

" She is innocent", she stated.

He snapped his head towards her, his expression blank.

" She is judrith's daughter."

Lady Harriet shook her head, " I know Your highness. But that makes her innocent. I know you know she is innocent"

His jaw clenched, " I know she is judrith's daughter. "

Her heart sank, he really has changed. Too much.

" Damon, please. You are hurting the innocent woman. She does not deserve this.", she pleaded, trying to get to him.

" I was innocent too. I didn't deserve that " he countered coldly. She stiffened.

" Damon please, I know you are hurt but please don't let your quest for vengeance cloud your judgement'', she stated.

"She is a princess. This will ruin her and follow her forever"

" She belongs to me now Lady Harriet, you don't have a say", 

" Damon, this isn't right, you know this too.",

"Nothing was right when I had to watch father breathe his last, nor was it right when uncle Herodis died because of me. I haven't even hurt her yet , trust me I'm restraining myself", he declared. 

" Damon,my husband, Herodis, didn't die because of you.", She whispered

Damon stared at her blankly, lady Harriet is a good woman. He knows that so well, but he will never let her get herself into his revenge.

Herodis died in place of him, he knows that. And he will never forgive himself for that.

" Go to bed Lady Harriet" he commanded, his tone holding finality. With that he backed her and walked through his door into his chamber.
