"Idiot..." I cursed him in my mind and ignored his presence...

He didn't follow but just stood there, staring at my back...

I looked back and saw his angry face. My eyes turned sharp, judging him. Then, turning myself again, I decided to seriously walk away this time...

....

Walking outside, I was about to go out into the garden when I saw something, and my eyes sparkled...

Slowly stepping towards it, not wanting it to be scared.

Slowly, with each step, until I reached near the kitty and sat on the ground with crossed legs. Pushing my hand forward, I picked it up and placed it in my lap.

"You are so cute..." I said in a baby tone, looking at those two curious eyes and the fluffy body...

"Are you alone? Where is your mama, huh? Did you forget the way, or were you hungry?" I kept asking while caressing her fluffy hair...

Ignoring the sound of footsteps coming near me...

"Maya, leave it," Rhys said, and ignoring him, I got up.

Walking towards the kitchen, I picked out the milk bottle from the fridge and took a small amount of milk in a bowl. While Rhys followed me, his eyes stared at all my actions.

"Maya... leave her..." he said again, and this time, I could hear the anger in his voice.

Giving him a look, I again looked at the kitty, who was finishing the milk.

Once done, I placed the bowl on the stand.

Nuzzling into the white fur, I slowly gave her some kisses, and suddenly, I was harshly turned back. My eyes saw nothing but Rhys looking at me in so much anger...

"LEAVE HER, MAYA, NOW!" he shouted, and I flinched, but my hold on the kitty never loosened...

Taking one step closer until we were so close, he grabbed my hands while his eyes remained on mine...

Pulling my hands away from the kitty, he let it fall on the floor. The kitty quickly jumped on all fours and ran away...

"When I command, you will obey. Do you understand?" he said, placing his fingers on my chin to make me look up, and I did...

Looking at him with nothing but anger, I pushed his hand, then his chest, wanting to go.

I was about to walk away from his side when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me with one jerk. I could feel the pain on my back when the hard floor collided with it harshly...

"How dare you..." he said in a low, dangerous voice...

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?" I shouted in frustration while my angry tears started spilling out...

"Don't fucking show me this attitude, butterfly..." he said while staring right into my eyes...

A gasp left my mouth when he grabbed my hair from behind and pushed my face toward his...

"Don't fucking show me this attitude ever again, Maya. The kitty you were playing with has a disease. Hugging her wasn't enough for you that you decided to kiss her, ignoring my words?"

"I hate you..." Cutting off his words, I let it out, and he stopped before pulling my hair harshly...

"Say this again, and I'm gonna fucking kill you..." he said angrily in a low tone.

"I hate you..." I said again, and before I could react, he pulled me into a harsh kiss...

His teeth grabbed my lips in a tight hold, injuring them, while his tongue roamed around my mouth. Then, placing his teeth on my chin, he grabbed the flesh of my skin, giving it a bite...

Then, sliding to my neck, he did the same and kept doing it while I kept whimpering in pain...

"The things you make me do, Maya..." he whispered and walked away, ignoring me...

While I remained standing there...

"Take a bath. We are going home," he said loudly, and tears started spilling from my eyes. Wiping them harshly, I walked towards the washroom, not caring if it was dark or not, but to be glad it wasn't this time...

Looking around, I saw a big torch there, which was lighting up the whole washroom.

I washed myself fully, keeping the kitty's disease in my mind, and wore my clothes back again...

Closing the door, I got out and walked towards Rhys. My wet hair kept touching my back, wetting the fabric of my tee, causing my body to feel shivers of cold...

I didn't say anything, just stood before him with his marks on my neck...

Getting up, he glanced me up and down, then walked forward. His hand was about to touch mine to hold when I stepped away and took my hand back...

He fisted his hand but said nothing and started walking. I followed him with small steps, and when we reached near the car, he pushed the door open for me to sit. I did without sparing a glance at him.

Closing the door harshly, he moved away and sat in his seat.

Starting the car...

The ride home was silent, except for the sound Rhys was creating from stomping his feet on the trunk.

My eyes just stared at the outside view, not wanting to have him in front of me now, yet all my attention was on him.

His hands were tightly holding the steering wheel, his veins popping out...

He kept taking deep breaths to hold himself back from saying something...

But I didn't care...

Not letting out my voice was the only option I saw...

So I kept ignoring him. The view out of my side was plain, nothing too attractive, but just plain, yet I kept looking at it like it was the best view of my life...

I had to...

To ignore him...

The car stopped in front of a shop. Rhys opened the door, and I just sat there, but my eyes followed his movements.

He walked inside. I didn't want to follow him, so I rested my back on the seat and closed my eyes.

Minutes passed, and then he came. Unlocking the door, he sat in his seat. I could hear the sounds but didn't dare to open my eyes...

Until something touched my neck...

The cool sensation I felt made me look at him. There he was, applying medicine to the wound he created.

My eyes stared into his while his remained down, focusing on it. When he was done, he picked out a concealer from his pocket and opened the cap.

Tapping a small amount gently, he finally looked into my eyes...

"Sorry..." he whispered, and I broke eye contact, looking in front, ignoring the word he had just spelled out. Ignoring the way my heart suddenly started beating at maximum speed...
