Few days later

Ezra's pov

I am tired.

Tired of trying to understand this man. It's been so many months but with each day I get more confused as to who is really is.

When I think everything is good and we are progressing. He suddenly turns cold like he doesn't even know me.

Like he hasn't touched me and made me feel all that.

Like he hasn't seen how his every stare.

His every word bothers me like no one else's. . . .

I haven't even seen him past these days.

He comes back late from hell knows where and leaves early.

He doesn't talks to me. Let alone look at me.

And I seriously don't know why?

He locks himself in his room. Not even coming out for dinner.

I don't know what's on with his strange behaviour.

I try to remember if I offended him in any way.

But I can't afford to think of anything.

I sulk sitting in this mansion. Having nothing to do all day. He made me leave the school. He even took my phone. He doesn't allow me to visit anyone. Not even home.

God! I will go crazy sitting here all day.

So finally I have decided now. I will face him today.

Waking up way early than I have ever woken up. At 6 yes, don't judge me.

I hold back a yawn.

Shaking my leg anxiously , waiting outside his room for him to come out.

Bells sits at my feet. Confused as to why we weren't cuddling in our cozy blankets on my bed at this hour. Freezing out here doing nothing.

And I just pat her. Running my fingers through her soft fur.

The action immediately calming me.

And I smile seeing her fall down near my feet . Exposing her belly , asking me to rub her.

My eyes leave her to look up at his door when I see it open. And I immediately get up.

" Aaron!"

He was dressed in casuals, unlike the office clothes that I expected.

His grey eyes look up at me in surprise. To only cover it up next second. Clenching his fist. He puts on that emotionless face to walk beside me like I don't even exist.

What the fuc*!

Bolting I rush behind him to try and cross him. Opening my arms to stop in front of him.

" Wait! You can't leave !"

He sighs staring at his watch to look at me blocking the threshold. His cold eyes finally meeting my anxious ones to speak in a detached voice.

" What's it stupid girl? "

I stare into his eyes and I suddenly go blank. Sh*t! Why was I here? What did I wanted to ask?

Think Ezra! Think! Fuc*! Why can't I remember.

Sighing he rolls his eyes, pushes me aside to continue to walk. When I rush behind him.

"Stop wasting my time"

" No! I....I ...."

I couldn't match his long strides. Hell why was he walking so fast?

Stumbling on my own foot, I literally fall on his broad back. Having my nose to hurt like sh*t and I curse.

" Owwwwieee!"

He stops walking,fists clenching.

His back muscles tense as I rub my nose, trying to ease the pain. Gulping the saliva caught in my throat to speak clearly.

" You...you can't leave just like that! Wh..y are you avoiding me !"

Ignoring my words he tries to walk again, and I being the stubborn self I am. Block him.

" Tell me dammit! I won't let you go this time!"

I try again, feeling tears well in my eyes as he refuses to meet my eyes. Just staring at his watch again and again.

Like this was a time waste for him.

" Done with your drama? Now move the fuc* out of my way!"

He speaks finally meeting my eyes. And the coldness in his orbs froze me.

Why? Why did he looked so angry?

And the words leave my lips before I could stop them.

" Drama? My emotions vare a drama for you?"

" W-hy? I ... thought things were improving between us Aaron...what happened all of a sudden?"

And his demeanor changes suddenly. Turning more deadly is possible.

Stepping closer. Looking into my eyes, I see a mocking smile in the corner of his lips. As he stares at my tears.

To only move forward his hand, caressing my cheek softly with his knuckles.

" Improving huh?"

" I sleep with you, cuddle you. We have a good fuc*. And you call it improvement huh?"

His fingers moving lower from my face to trail behind my neck. And I suddenly felt afraid of the person in front of me.

He was unpredictable.

He was stone cold. Speaking with no emotions in his eyes.

" Do you seriously thou- ght that I was falling for a girl like you Ezra?"

His grip behind my neck tightens. Making my breathing to hitch. As he pulls me closer to him.

No ...no. It's a lie. Another one of his games!

But his eyes, as he scrutinize me from top to bottom in disgust. I felt it. The humiliation, the judgement, the insecurity.

It came crashing in. To hit the waves at the doors of my guarded castle.

" A pathetic stupid brainless girl. Who knows nothing but to fuc*ing follow me everywhere"

" A girl whose happiness. Whose world. Whose love."

" Revolves around others!"

" Is dependent on others!"

I shake my head in a no. Asking him to stop. His words were doing something inside me. I felt heavy.

" No...stop-"

His grip only tightens as he moves up my chin by tugging on my hair. Gritting his teeth to seethe.

" Why? What happened? You can't hear the truth?"

" What others truly think about you?"

" Seriously Ezra. You go around begging for love. Opening your legs thinking you will ever have a place in my heart. When no matter what . I had and will always feel only one thing for people like you."

His next word. Shattering the walls around my heart completely.

" Disgust"

And another tear leaves my eyes. Leaving him unfazed. Just staring.

" A girl like you who is dependent on others for even a fuc*I g smile on her lips."

" A girl who doesn't even know her true self worth. Requires me to what?"

" Love her?"

He chuckles. Darkly. Leaning closer to trail his nose on my neck. And I stay still. Unable to digest his words.

" Pathetic Ezra. So damn pathetic."

Closing ny eyes. I refuse to believe his words. To only speak with determination.

" Y-ou are lying. This...this is not you...."

And suddenly he goes still. To cover it up immediately. Pushing me back to make my body fall on the mattress behind.

" You don't even know me Ezra"

And I retort. Suddenly feeling a surge of energy in me.

" No...I know you better than me...this..this is not you."

" You...won't say such things...you would never hurt someone intentionally..."

And suddenly he roars. Pinning my wrists above my head to literally growl at me like a freak beast

" You will tell me how I feel now! You? You bitc* ! What do you even think of yourself!"

" A girl like you can't effect me! I won't let you affect me!"

I just open my eyes to stare at him from under my eyelashes.

He is feeling agitated because he knows I am right.

Why Aaron? Why are you doing this?

And my Selfless love suddenly gave me the courage to speak my heart. To show him the reality he is hiding from.

" I am not a coward like you Aaron."

" If I love someone. I tell them. I fight for them. I earn them."

" I don't give up on them. I don't push them back. I don't make them hate me Aaron."

He breathes heavily as he just stares at me , expecting me to scream at him, curse him, be angry at him.

Seeing him fail making more fury to rage in him.

" You won't give up that easily huh? You want me to treat you like the wh*re you are?"

How easily he says that word?

Like I was just a bed warmer for him.

When somewhere in my heart, the doubt remained.

Those tender kisses can't be a lie. He does feel...then why is he not admitting it?

A tear leaves my eyes to fall on the pillow as I sadly smiles at him. Raising my trembling hands to hold his face in my palms.

To only have him clench his jaw.

" You won't be able to Aaron. You love me too much for it."

And he suddenly smirks. The evil in his eyes clashing with the calmness of my brown orbs .

" Are you challenging me?"

He asks in a voice that could send shiver down one's smile. Leaving my wrists .To only have me stay like that.

Looking at him. My eyes infuriating him.

As I searched deep in his soul.

This was my last test. It will tell me my answers.

My form was still under him. With hands on my either side. Eyes begging him to drop this.

" Who am I to challenge you when my heart already belongs to you?"

" The bigger question being how long will you keep pushing me away?"

" Admit it Aaron. You love me"

And that was it.

My words broke out a storm, which was restrained. His eyes glowing more dark if possible.

To only have his hands grab onto my top to pull it roughly, making the buttons uproot and my chest to arch up.

Leaving me naked and vulnerable under him.

My breathing heavy? Will he really do it? Will he hurt me?

And before I could stop him. I feel him picking up my body to have my back press on his chest. His arm coiling around my breasts. And his hot breath hitting my ears from behind.

" I would fuc* you to oblivion Stupid girl"

His other hand trails lower between my thighs. To have me bite my lip. As he seethes near my ear. Biting it, leaving me a mess

" I will leave you ruined."

" I will leave you vulnerable and helpless"

" I will break you Ezra"

Taking in a deep breath. He tightens his grip on me. To warn me.

"So that you can't ever say." . . . . " That you love Aaron Reed again."
