His Dark Desire: Tales of a Yandere-Chapter 185

185 v. Caught

She has been traveling from town to town trying to escape detection. It has been two weeks now. Well, almost.

Because she was so focused on the possibility of a man following him, she has failed to detect a blonde-haired woman with dazzling pair of blue eyes.

In fact, she has failed to notice she has caught that woman within the periphery of her vision ever since she walked into the cafe. She cursed herself and walked fast as she traversed an alley in an attempt to lose the woman.

But had no chance from the start. Her enemy is more agile and more physically adept. She knew this when the strange woman gripped her hand.

She tried to struggle but a handkerchief had been placed on her nose forcing her to inhale a rather faint smell that made her feel suddenly sleepy.

She felt her knees wobble as her eyelids dropped. The woman caught her and that was the end of what she recalled.

When she woke up, she was already in a rather lavished room with her father sitting across from her bed. Fear struck her even more so when she gazed into those brooding eyes that showed contempt.

Her father didn’t greet her right away even when she straightened up in her bed, her back pressed firmly against the headboard.

“You are awake,” the old man spoke as he observed her quite acutely.

.....

She just stared at him, scared to make a noise. Her fear for the father who brought her up overshadowed whatever hope she has had.

Her father walked towards her, standing up straight as he stared down at his own child who was cowering in fear, “Did you really run away from me to be with that bastard?” 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

“Fa-father,” she felt her whole body turn cold, as if she was relieving that part of history where she stared in fear at her own parent.

“Did you run away with Dominus?” his father’s voice was still as authoritative as always, and he as always has been heartless.

“Father, I- I’m sorry. I didn’t want to mar- marry the governor,” she stuttered from the anxiety she felt.

“Ahhhh, is that so? Is that why you became that bastard’s plaything? So you can run away from your obligation towards this family?” her father spat the words as he gripped her chin tightly.

She sobbed in fear, “Father, please... I can’t breathe.”

Her father smiled deviously, “The truth is you were that man’s lover even before you left the yakuza. You knew very well that he will be on that voyage so you followed him like a fool, risking yourself in the process.”

She bit her lip, her father was right. She didn’t even know how to justify herself in front of her own father.

“You worthless fool! I can kill you right now and I will still be very well within my rights! You have ruined yourself for an opportunistic snake!” her father’s grip tightened, his nails biting painfully against her cheeks.

“Father, please...” her voice was shaky, reflecting the way her whole body rejected the touch of her father that pierced through her skin.

“Do you want to go to hell and be joined with your mom?!” the cold voice of her father greeted her again.

“No, please. Father, I don’t want to die,” she begged her only living parent. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

“Then do not irritate me further. Stop acting like a stupid wench and do as you are told. You will marry the governor, and that is settled. I do not want to hear any protest from you,” the old man’s voice was cold but he let go of her as he felt her warm blood trickling down his fingers.

There was no pity in his eyes as he stared at his disappointing child. What irked him is how her mother once stared at him with those set of eyes. Filled with fear and concealed anger.

He tried to stop himself from the urge to take away his child’s eyes so she can not look at him with the same eyes any longer, “Did you hear what I said? You will marry the governor. Do you understand?”

“The governor? I- father! I couldn’t marry a complete stranger. Don’t you know he only wanted to use me to infiltrate the Yakuza? That man has no feelings for me, father,” she begged the old man.

“Feelings? Are you that naive to talk about that?” His voice was filled with anger as he looked at her.

“You think that man whom you run with, that bastard has feelings for you?! Then you must know. That man is a traitor’s son. Taking him in was both a risk and a guarantee that he wouldn’t retaliate once he realizes how the system works,” the old man’s eyes did not waver but his voice softened a bit.

Reminiscing has been hard for him. Because that opportunistic snake who took away and ruined his child, has been someone he held with care in his heart.

He treated Dominus as a son and guided him into whatever he is at the moment. So knowing that out of all his men, he was the one who betrayed him, made him seethe with burning rage.

“That man has been using you from the start. My daughter, you shouldn’t have trusted a yakuza. He will never have the heart to care for you more than he cares for himself,” the old man confessed.

She remained very still as the old man left her, locking her room as he left. She huddled back into the covers as her tears made her even more aware of the wound that has opened her skin.

She held her knees close to her chest. What does she do now? She felt so alone. So felt so lost from all that has happened.

She couldn’t marry someone like the governor. She is convinced about how that man not only has no feelings for her but also no human decency to listen to what she has to say.

But if she voice her situation to her father, if she told her father that she is carrying Dominus’s child, then she can be quite assured of abortion.

She didn’t want that. She didn’t want to lose their child. A mother’s love starts from before the baby is born, she realizes that now.

She tried to search her mind for any answers on how to protect her child best. She closed her eyes as she cried.

For the first time after she left the small apartment of her captor and lover, she regretted running away.

She has no one now. No one to protect her from what is to come. She closed her eyes and mumbled to herself.

She knew she was being foolish but she started talking to her unborn baby, trying to reassure the child that things will be alright.

She ran towards the balcony when she heard the arrival of cars, the screeching tires made it obvious so.

Her heart sank as she stared at the person who got down the car. Purple hair filled her vision as a greyish set of eyes met hers.

The man smiled at her, making her feel even more nervous as he waved. He was trying to be friendly, an act that was obviously a farce.

She ran back towards the room and locked the door to the balcony, digging inside the covers as she embraced her trembling knees.

It can’t be like this. She needs to escape from here. That man with a confident smile and a troublesome pair of eyes. That man is a monster, she knows this in her heart.

She was convinced to marry him will be the single most worse idea that can possibly exist. But she couldn’t risk the baby by confessing about her situation.

She closed her eyes and muttered, “Dominus save me, please. Don’t let them take away our child. I will never leave your side again. Just make sure to save our baby.”

She continued to sob as she tried to visualize his deep golden eyes and the way they would fill with agonizing desire and longing. Dominus.

She didn’t know if it is even possible for him to know where she is and what happened to her. She just hoped she can be rescued and taken out from here.

“If you really loved me as you claimed, then please save our child. I beg for things to go better. Just take us away from here. I swear it, I will be a better lover to you, wife, or whatever else it is you want me to be,” her voice became softer as she continued to talk.

“You do understand that I needed saving, don’t you? Then please save me now. Don’t let me be ruined by a monster,” she continued.

She did not hear any answer of course. She was all alone with her thoughts. All alone with her fears.

But the worst is the guilt she feels as she placed her hand on her stomach. This child shouldn’t have been put in any danger if only she kept still.

She thought she was doing the right thing by running away from Dominus. But now that she has been caught by the other two, all she wanted to do is to go back.

“I will never run away again, just save me please,” she mumbled.
