Mia's POV
I am lying in the bed with James. My heart is not calm at all. The fear and pain are eroding my heart and soul. James touched my hand. I got shaken.
" Angel what are you afraid of?. I can't see you like this. Who is that guy?"
It's time to tell him everything. I sat up.
" James I am sorry to keep this a secret from you for so long. I will tell you everything." I took a deep breath.
" it's an okay angel. I am here."
" When I was in high school. I was not like how I am right now. I was a lot different back then shy, timid, too innocent, clumsy and easily fooled. Like every other girl, I also wanted to fall in love gave a boyfriend. Lorenzo was the most popular and hottest badest boy in school. He didn't notice me. I was more of a wallflower back then.
Cloè, Lisa and I were very good friends. Lisa invited me to her sweet sixteen birthday. There Lorenzo talked to me for the first time. After that, I used to see him every day in school. He used to hang out with us. Later he confessed his love to me. I had a crush on him so when he confessed to me I was over the moon so I said yes.
He was wonderful at first. Pick me up from home. Drop me home from school, we went on dates and all. We were high school sweethearts.
Then I started noticing he was a bit odd. I named it unique. I know how foolish of me.
Whenever any boy or I should say male species come to talk to me he got all jealous and angry. He didn't like me wearing any fancy clothes. He told me that it makes him jealous if anyone looks at me. First I ignored them as I thought he cared and worried for me.
As time passed he became too possessive and controlling. He never let me wear anything short outside. I had to wear long sleeves outside in summer. My friend because less as he didn't let me talk to any boys and girls who might introduce to any boy. My apatite began to fall as we started having constant fights.
If I was a few minutes late in texting him, he would accuse me of cheating on him and texting anyone else. He was to get physical with me always like kiss, hug and all. But I kept avoiding him telling him I was not ready. He began to emotionally torcher me. He used to ask me for money now and then. This was nothing compared to what I witnessed next.
Lisa and Cloè, both were worried about my health. Lisa also told me to leave her brother but I loved him so I couldn't..." James cut me.
" wait. Lisa is Lorenzo's sister?"
" yes. She is. One day a new guy transfer to our class. Most of the guys were afraid to talk to me because of Lorenzo. Jack the new guy was friendly and loved by all. I used to talk with him and he was not afraid of talking to me. Later that day Lorenzo didn't come to pick me up so I went to look for him. I heard someone yelling and crying. I went to the basketball court and I saw Lorenzo beating him up.
I tried to stop him but he was mad with anger. He pushed me aside and kept hitting me. Jack fractured 3 ribs and broke a leg. Only because he came close to me.
I began to avoid Lorenzo after that. He didn't give up he begun to follow me everywhere I went. He kept texting me non stop. He went crazy. Lisa told me to broke up with him.
The next day I went to the bridge where we used to meet. I told him that I want to break up with him. He didn't listen to me and kept apologising. He promised to change. I gave in. He became polite and all. He apologised to jack. All was ok. Jack was friends with me again.
Then the unthinkable happened..." my voice broke and tears came out of my eyes. I couldn't make my voice come out to tell the rest." Angel you don't have to force yourself in telling me."
"No, I do James I am not forcing myself. You should know... The next day he invites me to this old cottage for a romantic dinner where he used to spend his time. I went there. He made me sit on the sofa. Then my phone rang. It was Lisa who told me that Lorenzo has planned something terrible and I should not go there. But I was already there. He took my phone and threw it away...
I ran away from him and he hit my head with a baseball bat. I fell unconscious after the bleeding. I woke up in a bed with my hands and legs tied up. He was standing there with a knife. I sat on top of me and he started ripping my clothes with that knife. He took off his belt and started hitting me one after another.
I beg and cried to him to let me go and why he was behaving this way?. He answered that he wants to punish me because I wanted to leave him. Then He started to force himself on me the more I struggle. But kept struggling and shoving him off me. I didn't give up. My skin had cut and bruised all over. My head hurt like hell. I didn't have any energy anymore" The tears fell nonstop from my eyes.
"I thought this was the end of me. I was ready to die. He was determined to be his. I stopped struggling. I took the chance to distract him and shoved him off me. I took the knife and cut my veins. Blood came out rushing."
" Baby..." he covered his mouth with his hands hearing this. His expression was full of sadness and hurt.
" I didn't think I will ever be free from him. I was ready to die than being his..." I cried.
" I was fading into darkness but then my brother's came in like knights. They saved me. I fell unconscious after that. I woke up in a hospital after few days. They said there was a fire and the house collapsed and Lorenzo was inside that. They found a body later. It was burned badly and no one was there except him and me. They took the count of it and said that body to be his. He was dead.
Because of that struggle, beating, cuts and I was hospitalised for whole one month. It took nearly one whole year to get myself out of that trama. I never saw jack after that incident. Wherever I used to go I used to hallucinate him. Attacking me. I spent one whole year in fear"
I burst out crying. James hugged me. "Shh..baby don't cry anymore. I am here I will not let anyone hurt you anymore. You're a brave and beautiful woman Mia. After what you have been through you still stood up high."
With my hiccups and tears, I said, "James I am sorry to keep this from you. I never thought to see him again. I hated my past weak and foolish self."
" Don't ever say that my love. You're not weak. You're very brave. I love you my angel and no one is ever gonna hurt you ever again. I promise I will always protect you." I gave him a weak smile.
" Thank you for telling me this angel and I am sorry for taking you down to that horrible memory lane." He kissed my head. I snuggle in his arms.
" I love you James more than anything." he wiped away my tears and lay down with me. I know how Lorenzo Is. I had known him. He will try something to hurt James or anyone to get to me. I am prepared right now. I am not my weak pitiful self anymore. I have built myself all these years.
My brothers have taught me well.
" I love you too my angel." He wrapped his arms around me. I calmed down and slowly drifted into slumber.
~
The sun fell on my eyes and I woke up. I saw the James was not beside me. I went down to look for him.
" Maria where is James?"
" Master is in his study room."
I went to the study room. I saw James was on the phone talking to someone. He noticed me and ended the call. He came towards me and kissed me.
" How are you angel.?" I noticed all the papers and pens lying on the ground. There was no place to put my feet and walk.
" I am feeling okay now. I am fine. I see you have been busy. When did you wake up?"
" yeah, I had to take care of something. Let's have breakfast."
" After that, I have to meet my brother's. I have to tell them what happened at the party." I have to warn them about Lorenzo. He is a dangerous person.
I don't know what danger is waiting for us next. The thought of it gave me a chill. I took out the milk from the fridge and drank it. It tasted weird. I didn't put my mind to that.
" yes sure." He said on a serious note.
Whatever he is planing I will not let him win. If he Hurts anyone I love I will tear him down.
I am prepared to face him.
I am ready.
Make your move Enzo. I gripped my hands as my nails dug into my skin. I am not scared of you anymore.
