Quicksand

Chapter 16

My heart sank. Kids? What was he talking about?

"You're insane," my mother spat, her eyes blazing with fury.

Adrik chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I'm just planning for the future," he said. "A future where your daughter is my wife, and we have children together."

I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. This couldn't be happening.

"Never," I whispered, my voice trembling.

Adrik's gaze locked onto mine, his smile growing.
You're sick," my mom spat, her face pale with rage. "You'll never have her, Adrik. Never."

Adrik shrugged, his smile unwavering. "We'll see about that," he repeated, his eyes locked onto mine.

I felt a chill run down my spine as he stood up, his movements fluid and menacing.

"Time for bed, I think," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "We have a big day tomorrow."

My mom's eyes met mine, a silent message passing between us.
Don't give up.
Adrik's gaze lingered on me before shifting to my mom.

"Guards," he called out.

The doors opened, and two imposing figures stepped in.
"Take her to her room," Adrik ordered.
I watched in horror as my mom was suddenly dragged out of the dining room, her screams echoing through the halls. The doors slammed shut behind her, leaving me alone with the devil.

Adrik's smile grew wider, his eyes gleaming with triumph. He walked around the table, his movements deliberate and menacing.

"Alone at last," he whispered, his breath cold against my ear.

I shuddered, trying to pull away, but he grasped my shoulders, holding me in place.

"Don't worry, my dear," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "You'll soon learn to love your new life...with me."

His lips brushed against my cheek, sending shivers down my spine.

"No," I whispered, struggling to break free.

As fast as lightning, Adrik's palm connected with my cheek in a resounding crack, sending me stumbling backward. My vision blurred, and my ears rang from the force of the blow. I teetered on the edge of collapse, my legs trembling beneath me.

"First lesson," Adrik growled, his voice low and menacing, his eyes blazing with fury. "Don't you ever tell me no."

Tears sprang to my eyes, and I fought to hold them back, but a lone drop escaped, rolling down my cheek like a betrayal. My heart raced, and my breath came in ragged gasps.

Adrik's grip on my shoulders tightened, his fingers digging deep into my skin like talons. I felt trapped, helpless, and utterly vulnerable.

"You'll learn to obey," he snarled, his hot breath washing over my face, sending shivers down my spine. "You'll learn to please me, to cater to my every whim."

His words dripped with malice, and his eyes seemed to bore into my soul, leaving me feeling exposed and shattered.

I tried to speak, but my voice caught in my throat. Fear clawed at my chest, threatening to consume me.

Adrik's smile twisted, and he raised his hand again, his palm looming large in my vision.

"please," I whispered, my voice barely audible.

Adrik's hand hesitated, his eyes flashing with excitement. "Begging already?" he whispered, his voice dripping with sadistic pleasure.

I shook my head, desperate to erase the submissive tone from my voice. But fear had taken hold, and my words trembled.

"Don't hit me again," I pleaded, my eyes locked on his.

Adrik's smile grew, his face inches from mine.
I wouldn't hurt you if you just listened," Adrik whispered, his voice deceptively soft.

His words sent shivers down my spine. I knew better than to trust him.

Adrik's smile grew, his eyes glinting in the dim light.

"Listen To my instructions, my desires," he said, his voice dripping with malice.

"You'll learn to obey, to anticipate my needs."

His gaze roamed over me, making my skin crawl.

"I'll break you, slowly, until you're nothing but mine."
