I Am An Illegitimate Child With A Legitimate Reason For Revenge-Chapter 85: You’ll eat in the room

*Splash* Ariel slowly opened her eyes and noticed she was in a pool of water. Actually, a tub.. She was seated in a bathtub which had water filled to her breast level.

’It hurts.’ She thought, squinting her eyes. Her entire body was once again aching with the bruises she got from Leo.

Who knew torture after bliss would hurt this much. In the past, maybe it didn’t hurt so much because she had never felt real happiness and bliss for even one moment.

’I seem to have indulged myself too much in Sir Raymond’s comfort.’ She thought, resting her head at the edge of the tub and closing her eyes for a brief moment.

The water was hot and she felt relaxed. Maybe this moment was the only time she had to feel comfortable before they came back to torture her... 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Her stomach grumbled and she let out a soft and silent mutter,

"I’m hungry."

"You’re finally awake." She heard a voice and her eyes immediately opened. She looked up and saw Leo. No, it was Theo.

He was seated right next to her, smiling brightly at her with his white sleeves rolled up, a few buttons undone and hair scattered. How long had he been there? How come she didn’t notice?

Theo scanned her surprised expression and his eyes curved up.

"You seemed comfortable."

Ariel threw her gaze away. Her body was bare and was being handled by one of those monsters. How could she feel comfortable?

"Now that you’re clean," Theo began, stood to his feet and swiped his hair back. "Will you finally have something to eat?"

She was silent. The dinner table. Her mind couldn’t help but go back to the torture she just faced in that dinner table.

Her body shuddered and she hugged her knees. There was no way she was going back there.

"I..."

"I heard you." Theo said and reached out for the white towel. "You said you were hungry so even if you tell me you don’t want to eat right now, there’s no way I will believe you."

Ariel bit down on her already torn and messed up lips. What to do now?

"Just so you know, you won’t be eating at that dinner table." Theo said and reached out for her. He grabbed her hand and roughly lifted her out of the tub still retaining his smile. "You’ll eat in the room."

Ariel was speechless. Why was he pretending to be nice? She knew better, without being told that he was dangerous. He was too dangerous.

Seeing that Ariel wasn’t ready to respond, Theo’s smile started falling and his grip on her arm tightened.

"Answer me." He demanded and she flinched. Yeah, this was the real him. There was no way she would get deceived by his fake and pretentious smile.

"I’ll eat." She said and his smile returned. He wrapped the towel around her and carried her, bridal style, out of the bathroom.

Ariel was taken to a room with dark interiors and for a moment, she thought about Raymond’s room. But her thoughts were immediately dispersed when she saw the dress Theo wanted her to wear.

It was a short night gown that was completely see through. The linen used in making it was very transparent that anyone could see her body.

It made her uncomfortable but she couldn’t refuse it. She wore it and sat uncomfortably on the chair in the room.

While the servants dropped the food on the table in front of her, she felt really uncomfortable and kept wiggling her toes. But more than that, she felt a bit traumatized with the food.

She would definitely not be able to eat it if it were steak and red wine but luckily, it wasn’t steak and there was definitely no wine. It was a simple bowl of soup with fried rice.

Surely there wasn’t going to be anything in the food and even if there was, it wouldn’t kill her.

She picked up the spoon and went for the soup first. Her insides were a bit messed up and her sore mouth made it hard to ingest anything spicy so it stung.

"That’s why you should’ve been obedient." Theo said, smirking at her struggle."But no matter. Obedient girls are boring anyway."

Ariel managed to drink the soup and eat the rice till there was only little left. She drank the glass of water and kept her head down.

Theo observed her for a while. Seeing her was almost like looking at a one of a kind toy. He wanted to have it and also break it so that no one else would have it. But in her case, he couldn’t have her all to himself. Like before, he’d have to share her with Leo.

After a moment, when he was sure her food had settled down a bit, he got up.

"Get up." He grabbed her arm and pulled her up from the chair. "You’re full now, aren’t you?"

Ariel’s eyebrows furrowed. What was that supposed to mean? She couldn’t tell what his intentions were but she had a boding feeling that it was no good.

"That look in your eyes, it actually turns me on." Theo said, his smile transforming to a menacing grin. "Now that you’re clean and your stomach is full, why don’t you try something else?"

He threw her to the bed, pulled her by hair and pressed her head to his lower body.

"There. I’m sure you know what to do."

Ariel’s eyes widened. He wanted her to do what? She hadn’t even tasted Raymond’s yet, why should she put his in her mouth? She felt like throwing up.

"What? You don’t want to?" His eyes dimmed. "Do you want to act stubborn? I know very well how to tame a stubborn cat."

Ariel’s eyebrows furrowed. She didn’t want to. She didn’t want to suck on such a disgusting thing.

"You know you don’t have an option." Theo said, increasing the strength of his grip on her hair and she grunted in pain. "I’ll give you five seconds to think it through."

’I think I’m going to get a headache.’ Ariel thought and closed her eyes.

"Times up." Theo said. "Now, will you do as I say or do you prefer to get a beating first?"

’My body hurts so much.’ Ariel thought as she glared at Theo. ’I don’t want to get beaten to death. If I’m alive, the chances of meeting Sir Raymond again are very high.’

She decided to do as she was told and raised her slightly trembling hand. She reached for his belt and slowly started unbuckling.

Once she had gotten the buckle out of the way, she reached for his zipper but then he stopped her.

"Not your hands." He said and she looked up at him. "From here on, you can’t use your hands."

"What’s that supposed to mean?" He pulled her hair back and looked in her squinting eyes.

"Don’t act like you’re dumb. Use your mouth to take it out."
