ADRIA'S POV:

I woke up and let out a scream immediately. My back hurts like a bitch. It feels like I am laying on a hot pan.

"Hey just breath, ok. I'll call the doctor", A masculine voice fell on my ears. I was sure it wasn't Satan cause the voice was soothing, I could trust whoever it was.

I just nodded my head in response. I was laying flat on my stomach, I could make that my upper portion was bare. The fact that my chest was plastered to the mattress prevented the people from having a free show. If there were any people.

But I wasn't concerned at all. I had many other matters to care about.

Particularly my burning back.

"Just stay still, the doctor will take care of your back", I tilted my head so that I could see the person. It was the same guy who was with Satan yesterday. What was his name..??

January.. October.. April.. NO! August ya Augustus.

"It's worse than what you described?", I heard another voice but bot dared to look back. Fuck! I can't even move a bit. It hurts.

"Yaa! Austin got out of hand last night. I had to stop him. When I entered the cell, she was unconscious still Austin was lashing her", Augustus explained.

"I got some ointment and medicines. The ointment will lessen the burning and medicines will ease the pain as well help her sleep", the one who my smart little head itself figured out is a doctor said.

"Aahhh.. fuck. Stop. STOP", I said as I felt something wet and cool on my back. It did nothing to ease the pain, it burned like hell.

"Easy princess. It will burn for a while but the pain will go away soon. You just have to breathe. Please do that", Augustus said looking in my eyes. I started taking deep breaths. Slowly in and out.

His words were true, the burning sensation was gone soon, instead, I felt cool and relieved.

You know when you want to pee really badly and can't get a washroom for hours. And after holding for a long time and twisting and turning your legs, when you reach home and finally let the pressure out. Huhhhh! 

How does it feel? Goodddd I know. Well, I felt the same right now.

I was calm now, looking at Augustus's face. I should say, Satan was handsome and he even had a handsome staff.

Augustus too seemed like he just hopped out of a men's magazine. He had a handsome square face, gray eyes, thin lips and that forever frown making him look a bit mean. I am damn sure that he had muscles underneath that shirt.

But still, he is a monster. He too was beating my dad.

The memory of my dad brought tears to my eyes. Where was he? What have these monsters done to him?

"Hey princess, why are you crying? It's still hurting?", Augustus asked. His voice full of concern.

"Where is my dad?", as soon as the question left my mouth his jaw clenched.

"He is alive and breathing. I think you should worry about yourself now", he stood up and straighten his suit.

"Here give her this. I will come and check her after two days. Till then give her same medicines after every meal and apply the same ointment", The doctor said and left the room.

"Ok princess can you sit up?", Augustus asked me and I nodded my head as I was feeling a bit better now. "So please try to sit up and eat something. I bet you must be hungry", he smiled at me and waited for me to get up. But I didn't. If I get up, he will get a nice view of my bosom.

He raises his eyebrows at me and his dumb head took few seconds to comprehend why I wasn't getting up. Lol! And guess what. That man blushed. He fucking blushed.

Awwww...

"I.. I'll send Cara", he said blushing and scratching the back of his neck and within seconds he was gone.

Again Awwww....

"Hello mam", God! I was never this happy to hear a woman's voice.

"Hii", my voice was still weak. Satan made me scream a lot..... By lashing Goddamit! Dirty minded people.

"Mam I came to help you with the clothes", her voice was soft.

"Yes please", I said desperately wanting to cover myself.

"Ohh. God.. !", the woman gasped after seeing my back. "It. I.. I am.."

"It's alright just please help me", I asked in a polite manner and shaky voice.

"Yes, mam", the maid. She told her name as Cara. Cara helped me sit. I bet she almost got deaf due to all my screaming.

She was in her mid twenties i guess. Not much older than me. She was pretty. Average height blonde with blue eyes. I liked her right away. She helped me with a loose gown which had only two thin strings over the shoulder and thanks to God it was back less.

Another maid came with some soup and bread. I was damn hungry and ate like was been starved for months.

After having pizza and sandwiches for weeks the simple chicken soup felt like heaven.

After I finished with my food Augustus came again. He had his 'forever smile' on his face.

"Hey princess", he greeted me and sat beside me on the bed. I was sitting in the middle of the bed so that my back won't hurt.

"Oh! so your friend kidnap girls, whip them and you call them princess", I asked raising my eyebrows.

He gave me a confused look. "I always use to call you princess", he said.

"Ughhh! I am already in pain Augustus. That Satan tortured me enough, now please you don't start"

"Satan?", his frown deepen.

"Your friend. Aussie-Pussy-Satan Hawk. Ahh.... Fuck", I winced in pain as I tried to wiggle while saying the name in a sing-song voice.

But I didn't care the pain as I was surprised my a very sexy laugh which came from Augustus. He looked so cute.

I wondered whether Satan can laugh...... No way. Fuck!

"Nice name. Suits him. But seriously you really don't remember us. Especially him"

"No", was my only answer. I was not in a mood neither in the state of explaining.

He didn't say anything he just left.

--------------------------------------------

AUSTIN'S POV:

"So shall I call the Norman's", Augustus walked in my study, a smirk plastered on his face.

"Why?", I asked again giving my attention to the files.

"You know why", he said in a duh! tone.

"Augustus you know who she is and you know I will die before letting her go away again", I said in a serious tone. The smirk on his face vanished. He was serious now.

"Austin, seriously bro you went too far this time. The girl fainted. She is fragile, you should not have done that", I glared him.

"She slept with someone else"

"So did you"

"I am a man, I have my needs. She was just 15 when she left. A kid"

"15 isn't a kid you very well know that. And who says women don't have needs. Besides if your love was true you should have waited"

"My love is damn true", I banged my fists on the table. "And she was the one to leave me. She needed to learn a lesson so I punished her"

"She is your love. Not any random person you will punish for their mistakes", he said. And he was true. I can't just punish her like this. She is my love. I plan to marry her soon. I can't treat her like I treat others.

But this is what I am. I can't help it. I am a monster. Or rather she has turned me into a monster.

The three years she was away from me were worst of my life. Only I and Augustus know how I gathered myself.

If I don't get something right away the only alternative method I know is having it by force.

"You know that's the only method I know", I stated curtly.

Augustus let out a heavy sign.

"I know what you went through Aussie. But seriously I don't think the woman over there is Andrea", he said gaining a look from me that clearly told him not to continue what he was saying.

"I mean come on Aussie. Andrea was so shy and reserved. This girl over here, god! I bet she does not even know the meaning of being shy. Andrea, we could scare her just by glaring at her but this girl, her back literally resembles a net. You whipped her badly man. Yet she is full of sass. The pain could be heard in her voice but those eyes still refuse to show the pain. She refuses to show her vulnerability. And most importantly she loves her father more than her own life. Andrea too did love her father but she was never attached to him this much", the facts that he stated were true and had me think about them.

But what about the looks, those eyes, lips, hair, face, every fucking thing can't be same.

Unless......

"Augustus we need to talk with Edward"
