Accept the reality and live it.....
LINDSEY'S POV
I sat alone looking at the road where a few vehicles passed waiting for any chance of a taxi. I could not hold back my tears. The pain I was feeling was too much for me to handle.i was not angry at my mother, I was not angry at myself or anyone but only at the day I met that man called Riven. I dreaded him so much.Someone can mean to come into your life and shamelessly take control and deprive you of your rights not minding the fact that you are human too, that you are not a child and that you had plans for your life and that you lived before they came. You can meet someone who can become your hell on earth, a night mare, that was Riven for me. That man has ruined me, taken all my joy, and even won't let me have any peace of mind. He wanted to destroy me, the next thing he would do was to kill me. I sat there that like an abandoned child with nowhere to go. Luckily I saw a taxi that finally agreed to stop and I rushed towards it. After telling the man my destination he agreed to take me but as I entered the taxi I received a code from the driver he told me he was no longer taking me. That scold did not leave me the same because I was already traumatized. I stepped back and before I could ask him what was wrong he drove away. I didn't know what was going on until I turned around only to find him, the devil. Riven was standing inches away from me I did not want to meet his gaze. Feeling disgusted I turned on sport and rushed away I did not look back I walked as fast as I could to get as far as possible from him. I did not hear any footsteps coming after me so I felt safety and breathed.
I received a phone call and it was my mother, I said nothing and listened while she asked me where I was I replied to her telling her not to worry about me and that I was on my way back to my place. I could feel the disappointment in her voice . All my attention was on phone that I forgot I was running away from someone by the time the call ended . I sensed motion behind me on turning I saw him again. I wanted to take on my heels but he grabbed me and pulled me back. He not only pulled me back but held me in his arms his arms around my waist not allowing me to even move because he held me so tight.
"Where do you think you are going?"he asked. His voice was never tender. Not when he spoke to me.
"Let me go I'm not a child that you can control the way you want!"I shouted at him but his emotions did not change he remained indifferent. He leaned in and was close to my ears while he spoke with so much authority as if I was just a toy to him I was fuming, struggling to get away that he could not let me.
"You have done a lot today and I am not happy at all." He said. I felt it in tone that he was angry I liked the fact that he was also pissed not happy like I was.
"Let me go what do you want from me?, what did I ever do to you that you treat me like this? you've taken away all my happiness you've taken all the joy that I had .you came into my life and ruined everything .I have no where to start from. how do you feel about all this ?did I ever do anything that pissed you off to the extent that you want to destroy my life like this ?I am tired of you I hate you with all my life .you are the last person I want to look at in this world. let me go.
Just stay away from me. Stay away from me." I shouted at him but he didn't let me go.
" Huh. Maybe you should start accepting reality because I am into your life and you cannot escape the fact that you are now mine and put that in your head that you are stuck with me forever." He spoke.
"But what do you think of yourself I will eventually find a way of going away from you because I cannot bear you you monster if you knew how much I hated you, you would not be before me right now" I told him. He let me go.
"By the way you chose to marry me .I didn't force you so the only way you will leave is when I am dead but I don't think even death can do us part" he spoke confidently
"How sure are you that you will not die or even before that. But all in all I assured that I will leave keep that in your mind."I reassured him.
"Well we shall see on that so I think we should get going home, wife!" He said emotionlessly.
"Wait and you will not call Stuart again. I hope you don't test my patience keep your distance from him he is your brother-in-law now and you are my wife I do not expect you to hook up with your sister-in-law's husband." How did he even know I called Stuart. I called him while I was seated on the bench because he was one of the people who could understand what I was going through after my closest friend had failed to pick up.
"You can't control my life like that. Put that in your head as well. And I'm going nowhere with you I know where I'm going." I told him when he turned thinking I would follow him.
Before I could scan the situation, I felt his lips on mine! The kiss was not tender but rather of someone claiming his territory ,ownership and showing authority. I tried to push him away but with his hand behind my head and the other on my waist. Tears started flowing down my cheeks I hated the fact that I was hopeless. I had never imagined that one day I would be standing by the roadside being first into a kiss by my husband. That was how bad, annoying, depressing and agonizing life had become.
