Chapter 4 ) Panicked Soul

Maria stirred in her sleep and felt a weight on her body. She tried to get out of the weight but nothing worked. She opened her eyes and saw the reason for the weight. Firstly, she didn't actually understand the situation. She rubbed her eyes and all memories of her being kidnapped and held inside the cage ran into her mind. Maria saw a demon almost sleeping on her body. His hands were around her waist and he was nudging in her soft bosom. Maria gasped when she saw him. She pushed him but he didn't budge. She pulled out his silky soft hairs angrily and he moaned in pain. Maria felt disgusted by his moans. And lastly, She screamed in his ears and he jolted awake from his deep sleep. Daniel looked at her for a minute and didn't understand what exactly happened. Without thinking twice, Maria slapped him hard and pushed him back on the bed. Daniel was in a sleepy state of mind but her slap woke him up from the slumber. Maria tried to run out of the room but unfortunately, the room was locked. She tried hard to open the door but the knob wasn't working. She looked behind panicked and saw him staring back at her. Maria looked at her body and found herself in a shirt that only covered her mid-thighs. An anger flashed in her eyes, that made Daniel smirk more demonically. However, She trembled when Daniel started to take threatening steps towards her. She wanted to argue with him for her clothes. She wanted to ask him who changed her clothes and why was she wearing a shirt? But at this moment, all she thought about was running away from Demon's clutches. Maria roamed her eyes throughout the whole room and found another door, she ran towards the door but Daniel clutched her wrist. Maria glared at him but his eyes were red. She gulped down the ball of nervousness formed in her throat when her eyes landed on his cheeks which were red and had fingerprints of her hands. Maria wriggled into his clutches. Her eyes were moist when she saw DEMON was ready to suck her soul from her body. In a swift, Daniel twisted her fragile wrist causing her bones to break and she fell down on the floor with a loud thud. She screamed and saw her bones were dislocated. Tears made her visions blurry and the pain was enough to spin her head. Daniel saw her tears and painful expressions but he felt nothing for her. He slept peacefully after long years of time. This was the first time when he actually slept this long. Daniel was an insomniac and slept only for two to three hours but last night, he slept eight hours and too with a girl, a total stranger. Daniel used women just for pleasure. They came and released him with their mouth or hands and nothing much. Daniel never touched any woman with his hands but women used their mouths and tongues just to give pleasure to him. Daniel bent down and clutched her hair and looked directly into her brownish eyes. "You again made a mistake, not once sweetheart but twice. You touch me. You slapped me. You hurt me", Daniel said and saw her hands were swollen because of the broken bones. "I . I'm. S . Sorry" * loud Sob* "P. Pl. Please l. le. let me Go" *loud sob* "I. I wo. won't say- *sob* anything to- *sob* anyone", Maria said while sobbing and Daniel smirked wickedly. "Let". *Sob* "Me". *Sob* "Go". *Sob* "It's hurting"- *Sob loudly* "so much" *Sob loudly* "Please call the doctor" *Sob loudly* "please" *Sob loudly* Maria was breathing heavily because of the pain and tears. Daniel wiped her tears from her face. He stared at her and she closed her eyes in fear. "Say properly that you're sorry without screaming, without sobbing, and without shedding tears", Daniel said and Maria looked at him in disbelief. ‘This man is a lunatic’, Maria thought. "I. I" -, Maria started to say but Daniel cut her off in the middle. "And without stuttering too," Daniel said in a commanding tone and then put his phone on recording mode. Maria was shocked to see him like this. 'Is this man real? How could someone be so cruel and heartless?', Maria thought. Maria took a deep breath and said - "call the *hiccups and tears* doctor first *hiccups and tears* then I'll apologize for *the hiccups and tears* to you like *hiccups and tears* the way you want" *hiccups and tears* Daniel was still looking at the teenage girl who was in immense pain and tears weren't leaving her eyes but still she was negotiating with him. He felt a weird sensation in his chest. His tummy fluttered when she looked at him back with fear and pain. Daniel nodded absent-mindedly and She took a deep breath and then released it while looking at him. "I'm sorry, Mr. Demon", Maria said in a straight tone without stuttering, sobbing, and shedding tears. Daniel looked in disbelief at her and his heart was smiling. Without wasting time, Daniel again retwisted her bones and she screamed in pain. Unknowingly, she clutched his arms and hid her face in his chest. She inhaled his masculine scent and cried loudly again. Daniel didn't expect this from her or simply said, he was perplexed too. Daniel rubbed her back and Maria cried while they were sitting on the floor until she got relaxed. After realizing her position, she pulled out herself from his hard muscular chest. Maria looked at him and felt chills run down her spine. "I want to go home. I apologized to you, right? Now, please let me go" " she murmured softly. But Daniel didn't want to let her go but he knew that it was wrong to capture her and lock her inside the cage but he did what his Demonic mind told him to do that time. "Firstly take a bath, eat something, wear your clothes then Carlos will send you back to your home", Daniel said and he left her alone in his bedroom. He felt suffocated with her in the room. He controlled his bouncing heart and went to meet Davis. Maria didn't understand Daniel's sudden cold-to-soft and soft-to-hard demeanor time by time. A soft knock on the door broke her trances and She saw someone enter the room. "Madam! Your clothes are here and breakfast is also ready. After breakfast, I'll send you back", Carlos said and Maria asked him, "Are you Carlos?". Carlos nodded his head. "Oh okay", Maria said awkwardly and Carlos left the room. Maria looked at Daniel's bedroom and noted that Daniel was a rich man. She entered the bathroom and was lost in the beauty. The bathroom was bigger than her entire house. She slapped her head for her stupidity. 'Sapphire! If that demon will change his mind then you'll be locked forever in that stupid golden cage. So stop admiring the bathroom and run away from his hell', Her mind mocked her. Maria didn't take a shower just changed their clothes. Carlos asked her to eat her breakfast but she didn't touch it and started pleading with him to send her back. Lastly, Maria won and Carlos dropped her out of the lane of her house because Maria didn't want anyone to know about her being kidnapped but it wasn't possible to hide it because she disappeared for three days. Now, she had to face her parents and not forget about this sick society. Maria took a deep breath and moved towards her house. She knocked on her house and her brother opened the door and was stunned to see her at the doorstep. Maria smiled at her brother and entered the house with him. "Mother! Father! Sister is here", Her brother- Samuel screamed and her parents ran to see her. Maria broke down in front of her parents. Her mother hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead lovingly. They all sat down together. "Where were you, Sapphire? We were worried about you?", Mrs. Stone asked. Maria wiped her tears and looked at her parents. "Mother! Father! I was kidnapped", She said and her parents gasped. "Who kidnapped you?", Mr. Stone asked Maria. "I don't know, Father", Maria lied to her father. "We were searching for you from the night we came back from the meeting and Samuel and Sean both said that you went to the grocery store but didn't come back. We went to the Police and complained about your missing but we still didn't get any news about you", Mr. Stone said and Maria understood why. Because the Rich Wealthy Demon was behind all this havoc. "Mother! I am hungry", Maria said and Mrs. Stone nodded and they stood up from their seats. "Wait but how did you come back?", Samuel asked and Maria closed her eyes in frustration. "Can't he shut his mouth?", Maria thought. "I ran away and I don't have any memory of exactly what happened. Everything was dark there", Maria said and her family nodded. She took a deep breath. "Finally", Maria said and went on to live her life normally with her family. ... ... On the other hand, someone was hearing the voice recording again and again and a smile unknowingly appeared on his lips. ~I am sorry, Mr. Demon~ ~I am sorry, Mr. Demon~ ~I am sorry, Mr. Demon~ "Snow White", Demon murmured softly as he closed his eyes and lost himself in the scent of an innocent soul. Unknown of the fact that not only Demon's eyes but now, Demon's mind also trapped the soul. .. .. Thank you ShineeSunshine ❤️ ***
