His Purchased Wife

Chapter 41

Aurora POV:-

I took a shaky breath, blood rushed into my cheek as the feeling of saving myself erupted in my mind

but I knew if I even moved a step from him he was going to punish me even more brutal than he

already did.

"Liam…" I whispered, almost begging in my small fear-filled voice but the look, the darkness in his eyes

didn't let me finish the sentence.

His grip on my jaw tightened painfully. I squeezed my eyes shut-in pain. He pushed me and I fell on my

bum.

Oh, God! Was he going to...No, No? He won't touch me like that. He was not that bad. I tried to calm

my mind but to no avail.

I was numb, he didn't look in the right mindset at that moment. I crawled back when he came to my

level and he pulled my leg towards him. I screamed in fear, tried to kick him but he grabbed both my

legs in his left hand and yanked me towards him.

I couldn't even scream, words refuse to come out of my mouth. The only thing which told me that I was

alive was my rapid breathing. I was in the middle of a panic attack.

I shivered in fear when I felt his hand on my waist. He was feeling my waist with his hands touching

me. I was lying on the sand and he was on top of me. His breathing was the only thing I could hear

after the sound of splashing waves on the beach.

Numb! That's what I was at this moment. But when I felt his hand on my bosom, a heart-wrenching sob

left my mouth and tears rolled out of the corner of my eyes.

I waited for the worst thing to come. I waited for him to steal me of my virtue but nothing like that

happened. After some time when I didn't feel his hands on my body anymore, I gained enough sense

that he was just lying on my body and breathing harshly.

A hope bloomed in my soul. Maybe, maybe he won't go that far. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I heard him taking a sharp breath. I didn't say anything, just laid under him motionless. I didn't want him

to snap out of whatever he was feeling right now in fear of getting the worst treatment.

He got off me and kicked the sand violently and screamed in rage. I jumped in fear and ran from there.

I ran to save myself from that man and didn't stop running even when I wanted to stop. kept running

with my wobbly jelly-like legs.

I looked back, he was not after me and I fell to the ground. My legs refused to run and gave up, I was

breathing through my mouth as my breathing turned rapid due to continuous running.

Finally, when my panting calmed I looked around and screamed in my mind.

I was lost! I had no idea where I was because on the beach there was at least some hope that

someone would come and save me but here there is no such hope like that!

Now, I was surrounded by nothing but a jungle. There were plants, shrubs and trees around me. I cried

about my fate, what was I going to do now? I didn't know what I was going to do now? My future looked

blank at this moment and I was sure that I couldn't live my life like early men used to live. Even the

aspect of living here whole my life scared me shitless.

I just prayed to the third power that Susan and Emily call my dad. I knew that he would do everything in

his power to save me from this jungle.

I gulped. I was stinking with sweat and bad breath. Hygiene was the last thing on my mind right now.

My throat felt dry. I was thirsty and even gulping down felt painful now.

I needed water to drink or I would faint here out of dehydration. I looked around myself to find some

source of water. I have watched enough jungle movies that I know there is always a freshwater source

somewhere because the animal needed water to drink as well.

And then my stomach dropped almost painfully. Animals! My eyes broadened at the aspect of some

animal attacking me. I shrieked in pain, imagining a tiger ripping me apart for its food and I pulled my

legs to my chest as a cry left my mouth.

"No, Aurora calm down! There is no lion or tiger here." I told myself to calm my anxiety.

"You have to go back to the beach, Aurora," I ordered myself. The pep talk was the only thing that kept

me sane here.

I nodded and managed to stand up. My legs were still wobbly but here no one was going to take care

of me. I have to do that on my own. I was searching around to see where to go because I had no idea

in which direction I took while running from that man.

I had no idea how much time passed since I started searching for the way out of this jungle. I was tired

and sweaty and hungry. With no other option, I sat down on a stone, my back touching the stem of a

tree.

My breathing turned slow in hunger but then, out of a sudden my eyes went to a branch of a tree. I

wanted to cry in happiness as my eyes travelled the length of the tree. It was ripped with berries.

My mouth watered seeing those red, juicy berries. I didn't know from where I got the energy to stand up

but seeing the fruit in front of my eyes I ran there and plucked as many berries as I could in the hem of

my frock.

When the hem was full of berries I went back to the stone and sat on it. I didn't care about their

hygiene, that was the last thing on my mind. All I cared about was eating them and I picked a berry with

shaky hands, put it in my mouth and moaned and the tangy sweet nectar burst on my taste buds.

I couldn't stop myself and ate as much as I could. Finally, I was able to sate my hunger but then I felt

giggly.

Everything I saw looked hazy and blurry. I giggled again as I felt ticklish in my stomach.

I bit my lip, I could still feel the tanginess on my taste buds. The giggling didn't stop. Suddenly I felt so

light as if I was flying.

"Wow!" I mimicked mostly from the jungle book.

"Bagira! Oh Bagira, where are you?" I sang looking around myself, giggling uncontrollably. I called

Bagira many times but he didn't come.

Where are you Bagira!

I wanted to cry over bagira but then out of the blue, I felt hungry again. I wanted to eat those berries

again. I want those berries again.

I started walking in search of those juicy berries but couldn't find them anywhere.

"Ahm! Ahm!" I cried sitting on a stone. "I want berries. Berries!" I cried, thumping my feets on the

ground.

"Fuck! What the hell are you doing here?" I jumped at the voice and turned around. I blinked my eyes

to clear the vision.

"Get up, and come here!"

I blinked my eyes rapidly. "Wow! Talking berries." I whispered, amazed that Barries were talking to me.

My eyes widened in excitement. " Magic! Magic! Magic! I am in a wonderland. " I jumped in happiness

as the big talking berry stood in front of me.

I touched the big berry and giggled. "Juicy berry!" I sniffed, the berry was soft, I touched it with the tip of

my tongue enjoying the softness of it's skin.

This berry even smells different. Oh yes,Silly me! This is a wonderland and anything can happen here.

Magic!

I loved the smell of this berry, strong and spicy. I want to eat this magical berry. I was about to take it

but the berry spoke again.

"Stand still, Aurora!" Berry said in a strong voice.

I frowned. "No, I want to eat you. So you stand still!"

"What the fuck are you talking about? What did you eat?" The berry asked again.

"Stupid. Stupid berry! I ate you, silly. But I want to eat you more now."

"What?"

But I didn't listen to the berry anymore and took a bite of It...
