I do/ I don't

The next day Dominik came into the room scaring me when he wiped the blankets off my body saying

"Get up now, we have a lot of things to cover" I sat up to protest and gave some attitude, but he quickly punched me in the arm saying

"Don't even try it. Denton was too easy on you, I will tell you what you CAN and CAN'T do. This is ownership I own you and my daughter, I can easily use the other kids as leverage. Do you understand me?" I looked at the floor shaking my head yes as I wiped a tear. Why was he so different now? How can I get away from this man? Where are my kids? Are they being taking care of? More questions ran through my head, but I didn't have time to think or process, because the bathroom door flew open. I huddled in the corner of the shower I was literally shaking I didn't want him to do that again and I knew if I tried to protest, he would hit me again.

"Lisa, are you done Dom sent me to get you?" York said, handing me a towel as I stepped out of the shower, he gasped I'm guessing he didn't know what happened last night.

"What the hell happened?" he snapped but I just kept my head down I didn't want to face reality.

"Did Dom do that?" he asked quietly placing his hands on my shoulders making me flinch, he sighed deeply then said

"Did he rape you?" my whole body tensed up at that question, Dominik said not to tell anyone,

I stayed quiet I didn't know what would happen if I told him, yes, and I didn't believe in lying, so I didn't answer and with me not answering he stormed out of the room. I quickly got dressed before anyone else could come in the room, about five minutes had passed since he left, I heard screaming and crashing. Making my way to the door just as my hand touched the nob York busted through holding Dominik by the back of his neck, they were fighting and shouting I stood there in fear. It's wasn't until York said "Let's see how much you like being raped" Dominik went to swing at him but York grabbed him by his neck and threw him on the bed. I stood shocked and scared watching as York did the same thing to Dominik that he did last night, I was completely frozen in place, I've watched porn before, but to watch this and to see the revenge look on York's face when he was finished, he fixed his pants looking at me saying

"If he ever touches you like that again I will kill him," I looked over seeing he was crying. As bad as the situation was, I felt sorry for him. I slid down on the floor crying in pitty for him I didn't know why he didn't cry for me.

Ten minutes later he got up walking to the bathroom I jumped when he said

"Get me clothes bitch," I looked up seeing the busies beginning to form on his face smeared with tears and blood from his busted mouth. I made my way to his room looking through his dresser finding him something nice to wear just a black t-shirt, brown pants and of course boxes. Rushing back to my bedroom where he's currently in the shower, I could hear people coming in and out of the house laughter and chatter filled the air. Shanking my head at the thought I will never be welcomed here, Denton has yet to come to see me, honestly didn't believe he would either a ping in my heart making it ache in the worst way possible, taking a second for myself leaning against the wall trying to calm my nerves.

"Hey, where is he?" York said walking around the corner from the staircase. his deep voice caught me off guard,

"Sh... Sh...Shower." saying as I pointed in the direction he nodded taking the clothes out of my hand leaving me standing there. I watched as he disappeared into my room, walking back into the room with the clothes seeing them sitting on the bed. Dominik was in a towel, I could visibly see his tattoos and scars I cocked my head to the side trying to make sense of it all, York coughed getting my attention.

"We will meet you in the car," York said patting me on the shoulder as if Dominik was planning on dropping a bomb, could it be any worse then last night.

"Ryder is the heir and he needs to be safe at all times, Denton died last year in jail," Dominik kept his head down staring at the floor as he spoke, but the words lost me somewhere else. I fell to the floor, I barely knew Denton but what I did know was he was a good father to his son and an even better man then Dominik. I couldn't handle it anymore, I screamed because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here now, how do I tell Ryder? I felt arms wrap around me the heat and comfort. No words could really describe how I felt right now I know I didn't love him, and we weren't together, but part of me died just now. Dominik had lost his brother, Ryder's father was killed, who would be next? Me?

"We need to go, he's gone It's time to move past it," Dominik whispered I didn't even know he was the one holding me. I could feel the tears dropping onto my shoulder he was crying for his twin, Dominik pulled me to my feet, not even looking at me, it was like he switched from one person to other almost instantly.

I laid there in bed for the third day in a row, Dominik had disappeared York told me not to sweat it that he will be back in a couple of days, I was able to visit my kids oddly enough we aren't being held prisoners but I've been supervised with them. York said there was no need to try and run away again, he has been helping me through all this, after the news of Denton that day I was basically forced to marry Dominik for the safety of Ryder.

*******Yes, I married the asshole that stole my husband, then impregnated me and raped me, but don't mistake this for loving him I just need to protect my children until I can escape again.*******

I was happy that he left me with York and that he didn't push me to full fill the wedding duty. I asked York to take me to the pharmacy to get plan b. the last thing I wanted was Dominik to get me pregnant.

"Mrs. Ryder there is a phone call for you," Terry said bringing me back to the world I now live in, I cocked my head to her (phone call) She hands me the phone and stood at the other end of the room.

"Hello," I tried to hide my fear.

"Be ready to go in thirty minutes." the person said before the line went dead. I stared at the phone thinking Was that Dominik, his voice was different somehow sexier and mustily. Thoughts of us the first time jumped in my head, then the image of him sitting on the bed with just a towel on. My core was enjoying the thoughts, but my head was protesting deeply,

"Mrs. Are you okay?" Terry said pulling me out of my thoughts I just gave her a weak smile watching her leave the room. How could someone so wrong make me feel so right? Messing with the ring on my finger silently crying to myself. I wanted someone to love me the way I loved Fletcher, he always said he loved me, but I wonder how long did he feel it, Could I ever love Dominik?
