Sold To The Sheikh

Part Fourteen

Avni's throat burnt from constantly shouting Neil's name. Her cheeks burnt from the constant tears rolling down her face.
She ignored the pain in her hand from constantly smacking the steel door.
She relaxed her back against the wall, hanging her head down, she bashed her fists against both sides, screaming again for someone to get her out

Neil spat the blood out of his mouth as Joseph watched, his arms crossed as Neil got punched across the face again.
"Do you still want Avni now" Joseph asked, a huge smile on his face
Neil looked up, a glare on his face "Yes"
The grin dropped from Joseph's face.
He grabbed Neil's face "What if I told you, you can't have her, because she is mine"

Neil threw his head forward, headbutting Joseph in the nose, he fell back, holding his nose.
Joseph stood up, he laughed loudly "Just for that, ill send a few of my men Avni's way"
Neil struggled against his ties "You wouldn't dare"
Joseph held out his hand to one of his men, he then opened the envelope
"One task, you can stay with Avni, but you must do this, if you dont, well then you know what I can do"

Neil looked down at the letter held infront of him, he gritted his teeth "I will never hurt her that way"
Joseph slapped Neil's cheek "You don't have to, you just have to make her think you did"
Neil heard Avni shout again, he nodded quickly making Joseph cut open his ties
"Take them both away to their homes"

Avni was pushed into the back of a van, she looked up to see Neil, she ran toward him "Neil, what have they done to you" she sobbed, cupping his cheek, she knelt down before him
"Nothing I can't handle, you okay" he replied, looking her up and down for any injury
Avni nodded, he grabbed her wrist, looking down at her cut up hand, he pressed a kiss to her palm

She swallowed down the lump in her throat at the blood dripping down his face, she gripped onto his bicep "We are going to be okay" she promised
Neil grimaced, she let go quickly "Sorry did I hurt you"
He shook his head, "No"
She frowned at his suddenly cold demeanour, telling herself that it was just because he was hurt, though she couldn't get rid of the sickly feeling in her stomach

Avni grimaced as Neil held the sofa tightly as she dabbed his wounds with a cold cloth
"Sorry" she whispered
Neil looked up at the tears in her eyes "I dont deserve you Avni, I really don't"
Avni faltered back lifelessly "You promised me you wouldnt call me by my name again, have I done something wrong"
Neil pulled her to him, burying his head into her hair
"You're the best thing to ever happen to me, I just cant help but feel I hold you back, I want you to go back to working as a spy"

"What" she pulled back, shocked "Why"
Neil tucked her hair behind her ear "Because I know its what you want"
Avni bit into her lip "So, you dont mind if I work with Joseph again"
Neil shook his head "I trust you, we both have to live our dreams"
"But, im happy at home with you" she couldnt help but feel like Neil was trying to get rid of her
"But your happiness also lies there, ill always be at home, waiting, for when you get back"

Avni continued to clean up the cuts, not answering what he said.
Avni stood up, backing away she walked into the kitchen, Neil stood up slowly, he turned around and walked towards the bedroom, his head spinning, he sat on the bed, his head in his hands.
Avni walked in not long after, she stood by the door watching him.

Neil looked up slowly, opening his arms, she made her way to him slowly and sat on his lap. "What's worrying you Neil, they let us go"
Neil nodded "Just tired is all"
Avni frowned "You sure"
Neil nodded, and sat back, putting Avni on the bed, he led beside her.
Avni led on her back, she turned her head to face him, she sat up and pressed a kiss to his forehead

"Okay, ill go back"
Neil opened his eyes "Thank you"
She rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes, gripping his hand tightly.
Neil noted she had fallen asleep fast, he closed his eyes tightly, trying to calm his breathing as tears rolled down his face
