CH 63: Clemency

Even when she was in the middle of the blue sea and had to sleep with Master Klaus at the party, she still couldn't let him touch her. She had taken the risk of hurting him just so she could escape.

Even when Master Zack had bought her from father, she still couldn't let him touch her and had to kill to escape.

The only person that had been greater than her taste was Khalid - the only person she could never reject his touch or go against him.

And with this - with this abnormal guy in front of her - he was never going to be any different. No. He was never going to do what people greater than him couldn't do.

His finger was sliding in and out of her and immediately, she lifted her hand to his shoulders and drove her nails right into it making sure they pierced into his skin.

"Argh!! Octavia!!" He groaned and lost balance and Octavia didn't hesitate to use the spotted opportunity.

She punched him hard in the face and pushed him to the side so he fell partly from her body.

Then, she ran out of the bed.

Her fingers were stained with his blood, her legs hurt, her waist, lower abdomen.

She felt so incomplete. Her dress was down to cover her partial n@kedness.

She ran to the door and tried opening it, but hell! It was locked.

No. No. No.

She banged and shook the door furiously, but it didn't open and she turned back to look at Leo.

God! He was already on his feet, but wasn't looking as strong as he was some seconds ago.

The finger piercing obviously affected him.

"Octavia..."

She ran upto the table and took up a bottle of wine from it.

She turned out the last content on the floor and held the empty bottle up.

"Don't come near me, Leo, or I swear, kill you" she panted heavily, trying so hard not to falter.

"Drop the bottle, Octavia. You don't wanna do this" Leo said blearily.

"And you wouldn't wanna try my patience, Leo. This wouldn't be the first time l'd be killing someone. You'll make no difference" her voice cracked in the end.

The memories flashed at her, left an indelible mark on her.

Oh! She never wanted to think about them, but the monster was forcing them back.

Leo looked at her and could see the determination in her eyes.

"Please.." She broke down a little. "Just let me go. Please..."

For a while,he was silent, just staring at her.

Then he dipped his hand into his trouser pocket and brought out a key, throwing it at her.

"You can open the door and leave" he said gruffly and without hesitation, she picked the key from the floor, inserted it into the keyhole and opened the door.

Her pant was still lying on the bed, but hell! She didn't care as she dropped the bottle and ran out.

**

Her heart raced heavily, hurtful memories of what would've happened kept replaying in her head.

How could Leo think of doing such a thing to her? How could he think of hurting her that much?

She wept as she ran in the darkness and finally, she couldn't run any further as the pain from her waist struck at her again.

"Ah!" She gave out a sharp cry and leaned on the closest wall behind her.

The entire place was dark, quiet and she was thankful for that because she couldn't have people staring at her like a movie.

Tears streamed her cheeks as bit by bit, her back slided on the wall untill she landed on the floor in a sitting position.

Then, she huddled her legs together and

wrapped her hands around her tummy like the first time, whimpering.

She still couldn't believe Leo could attempt such a thing on her. She could never believe it.

She could clearly recall how he ripped her pant off and touched her irritably, the way he hit her and caused her pain.

What had gotten into him, huh? What?

She was almost shaken with fear, alone, dejected.

And the whole time, she had no idea Khalid was watching her.

**

Khalid was walking in the dark with his.boys when he spotted a lady running.

For a moment, he stopped and watched her, trying to figure out what was wrong with her.

He saw when she stopped running and sat on the floor, cuddling herself up and within the twinkle of an eye, he discovered it was Octavia.

His brows arched a little.

She looked pained, embittered, and he took slow strides towards her.

**

Octavia's eyes were still closed with her head leaned against the wall when she heard some footsteps - not just one, but many.

She snapped her eyes open immediately and could swear her heart stopped beating when she saw who it was.

Wait... Khalid???

Every pain in her body got flushed out as her eyes dilated in shock and she sprang on her feet. Although, the speed she'd used in getting up was out of the world and had caused her a little pain.

But she tried not to make a groan towards it.

She didn't notice her hand was still lying across her frontal waist until Khalid had

gotten close to her and when she realized, she quickly brought it down.

"M... Master" her voice was so tender.

"Good evening"

She bowed her head immediately.

His boys were all around him, all dressed in black and it made Octavia wonder what they were doing out there.

As Khalid stood in front of her, she could feel her heart skipping repeatedly.

Oh God! The goosebumps were back, the cold shivers, the nervousness, all the things he always made her feel, she could feel them once more. They were back!

She kept her eyes glued to the floor like she was still bowing to him because really, she couldn't afford looking at him in the face. She just couldn't.

This same guy that took her dignity, that has caused her so much pain yet, she couldn't find herself hating him.

The same guy who's dark side she loved; the superior god-like guy who could touch her without her consent and she wouldn't be able to do a thing.

Oh! What has gotten into her?

"Octavia"
