137 Dive Into The Rabbit Hole

Again

“Are you okay?” Tori asked, probably worried, because I was chuckling at random.

I sighed heavily before rubbing my forehead. “I’m in a dark place, Tori. I’m lost in a way I can’t find myself anymore, and it’s scary. It’s only been like three months, and it already seems like I’m losing my fucking mind. I don’t wanna talk about it because i–it’s complicated, very.”

My breath came off harsh as I offloaded what’s on my chest, and even though not everything, I pray she didn’t question for more answers.

There was silence from her side before she

spoke. “Do you want me to come over?”

“I will come to you.”

“Okay. Have some rest, munchkin, you need it.”

“I will.” I forced a smile even though she couldn’t

see me.

The call ended, and I dropped the phone on the tray, eyeing the finished breakfast. I can’t believe I ate all of that. I must’ve been really hungry.

I set the tray down and forced myself to stand. I neared the mirror, taking in my appearance from head to toe. Ares had dressed me in a nude nightdress, and the heating pad still hung around my waist. I lifted the rim of my nightie to check the marks on my thigh; it looked like he had something applied to it, and it wasn’t as red as it was before.

I released the material and walked out of the room. My bare feet tapped against the floor, eyes roaming the corridor until I got to the gym. From the glass, I saw Ares hanging on the pull–up bar.

I pushed open the door, my eyes dipped to the dressing on his lower abdomen, thankfully, no dot

of blood. The sweat glistened all over his bare chest, showing he must have been at this for a while now.

“Are you sure you should be doing that?” I asked. “You’ll get the stitch reopened again.”

A bitterness found my mouth when I recalled hitting him there. He deserved it, but I still felt like shit.

Ares brought his chin down, and our eyes

connected. I think we stayed like that for over a minute before he came down with ease.

He grabbed the towel to dampen his chest. “You

should be in bed.”

“I’m on my period, not pregnant,” I stated before I got down to business. “Don’t ever mess with my phone again, it’s annoying.”

He took the bottle of water next, saying nothing to me as he gulped down the entire thing.

“Second…” I raised my phone for him to see the picture. “Last night seems like a success, our picture is plastered all over social media now. This is hotter than when I first came out as Mrs. King. The rumors of your cheating are like it never happened. They honestly believe someone was trying to sabotage the Midnight Pair and created a Photoshop image to do that.”

He neared me, and my fucking eyes had to descend to observe every rip of those muscles painted in sweat.

I forced my eyes back to his face, shutting down my horny brain. “I went through the comments too, the good and the bad. For once, the good numbers are in our favour. Midnightians are convinced Ares King is madly in love with his

wife.”

“I don’t do love, Catherine.”

I blinked, not one bit surprised, the contract

already stated that out clearly. Who would be crazy enough to give their heart to the devil? Naomi did, and what did she get out of it?

“Good! We have one thing in common then.” I let my hand fall to my side as I turned on my heels to leave.

However, Ares tugged me back to him with the heating pad banded around my waist. I look over my shoulder and find him adjusting the pad. It must have loosened along the way.

“What happened to Theo?” I asked all of a sudden.

I searched the news, but there was nothing about any death information. I found some relief, maybe because Ares, as a murderer, didn’t sit well with

me.

“Did you finish your breakfast?”

I twirled to him, pinning him with a stern look. I knew this wouldn’t get anywhere.

I was frustrated because, in spite of what I saw, he still didn’t wanna be honest. Does he take me for a fool? Does he think because his lips were on my pussy I would forget what happened in that room? How could I forget that he had a gun to Theo’s head and the thought of him shooting me?

“I hurled most of it. It was disgusting.” I left without looking back, and this time he didn’t stop

me.

Loki lay on the bed flat like a log as if surrendering everything to me. I stroked his belly until he ventured into the cat dreamworld.

He was the only thing keeping me sane right now. This room felt like a cage, and I had a feeling the minute I went to my room, I’d be brought back here. If only I had the strength and perhaps the courage to speak up, but I’m choosing silence right now.

My eyes followed Ares‘ movement, a phone to his ear. He leaned over the table to type something on his laptop, lips moving, but I couldn’t hear a word of what he was saying from here.

He’s distracted. Now was the perfect time.

I looked at the TV playing a show before I grabbed my phone and opened the message box between Jenna and me.

This was probably a bad idea, and going backwards was not on my to–do lists, but I don’t care anymore. The more I convinced myself that I only had nine months left on this contract, the more there was no guarantee that the rest of the months was gonna go smoothly.

The least I could do was be one step ahead. I signed up for a marriage contract, not my induced panic moments of walking on eggshells.

Me: I’m ready to hear what you have to say. come with an open mind.

I just hope she hasn’t given up on trying to reach me. Regardless, after a few minutes, she replied, and I made sure I put my phone on silent to avert any suspicions.
