ZARYA ROGOV
“Bend over.”
His command took my breath away.
I stared at him in disbelief through the mirror, but his expression remained unfazed.
Always cold and stoic.
I shook my head and began to struggle ten times harder.
“You’re making it hard for yourself.” He whispered in my ear, his rough and deep voice sending a trail of shiver down my spine.
“What are you going to do?” I asked, sounding panicked because I was panicking.
“I guess we’ll find out.”
“Huh?”
He let go of my wrists and gripped the back of my neck, forcing me to bend over on the dresser.
My hands gripping the edge of the dresser as I tried to straighten up, but his grip held me down effortlessly.
My breath turned heavy when I felt him standing right behind me.
This position…
My face heated up in embarrassment and humiliation.
“What do you think you are doing?” I snapped.
The fact that I was innocent yet still receiving this punishment was infuriating.
I gasped when I felt his huge hand caressing my hip sensually.
“Wha-” *smack* “ahh!” Tears welled up in my eyes when he harshly spanked my bottom.
“W-What the hell,” I whispered under my breath, almost choking on my own breath.
He caressed the area he just struck, his huge, veiny hand dug into the soft flesh of my hip.
My legs began to tremble as the sharp pain ran through my body.
It burned.
“It’s just one spank, and you are already trembling.
How are you supposed to handle the rest?” He leaned down and whispered in my ear.
T-There were more?
I shook my head again.
“No, plea-” *smack* “ahh!”
I immediately covered my mouth, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of my pain.
The dresser beneath my face was wet due to my tears.
It was painful.
He spanked me again, and I already couldn’t feel my hip.
“Remove your hand,” he rasped in my ear.
I refused to obey him anymore.
This jerk didn’t deserve any respect from me.
His palm came in contact with my hip again, this time harsher than before, which made me almost scream.
“Remove.your.hand.” I quickly removed the hand from my mouth.
He hit me again, harder.
The spanks didn’t stop.
One after another until my legs completely gave out on me.
He let go of my neck, and I slid down the dresser.
My senses were in a daze, fresh tears continuing to trace the dried ones on my cheeks.
This whole punishment wasn’t the only thing that shocked me, but the wetness that I felt between my legs was the worst of all.
What the hell was wrong with my body?
My hip and my whole right leg were numb with throbbing pain.
“Get up.” He commanded while moving back.
I didn’t have the power to get up.
He grabbed my arm in a firm grip and pulled me to my feet.
I was about to fall down again, but he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer.
I wish I could push him away, but I didn’t even have energy left in me for that.
He grabbed my jaw, forcing me to look up at me.
For the first time, I saw a frown on his face as he stared down at me, but that frown vanished as soon as our eyes met.
“Think a thousand times before disobeying me next time.”
Whose gonna tell him…I guess, no one.
With the remaining energy in me, I pushed at him, but he didn’t budge; instead, he simply let go of me.
I stumbled back and bumped against the dresses, gripping the edges to keep myself up from falling as I finally looked at him properly.
I wiped my tears and passed him a glare, immediately limping towards the door before he could grab me again and spank me for glaring at him.
His Majesty was just too mighty.
He didn’t say anything.
As I walked through the mansion, trying my best not to limp.
I unfortunately came face-to-face with his damn mother.
Alisa stood before me with her arms folded over her chest.
Just as I tried to walk past her, she blocked my way.
Her eyes scanned my features, and she easily found out that I was crying.
“Seems like my son didn’t go easy on you.” My jaw twitched at her words, and this time I narrowed my gaze at her.
I was not taking anyone’s bullshit anymore.
I was done being the obedient, submissive one.
I’ll let my devil take over and ruin these monsters just the way they deserve to be.
“With a mother like you, a child is fated to become a monster.” My bitter words had her eyes widening.
She wasn’t expecting me to snap at her.
“Don’t you dare touch me.
Your damn son is enough.” I snapped, breathing heavily as I strode away from her.
She just quietly stood there, watching me in shock.
There was no way I could show the same attitude to Sergei; he would cut me into pieces.
He was a man who didn’t take disrespect.
There were rumors about him.
Insane rumors.
He once chopped off one of his men’s tongues just because he didn’t like his tone.
But there was also no way I would continue to take these punishments and humiliations from him in the name of his so-called revenge.
*******
The dunk in the mattress didn’t favor me much as I lay on my stomach, trying to find some sleep and comfort on this almost broken bed with a stinging butt.
I couldn’t stop thinking about the previous events.
Why did Alek lie?
Could it be he who put the salt in those dishes?
Why was everyone at my neck in this mansion?
Sergei was more than enough.
Even the flashback of him spanking me sent a jolt of electricity down my spine.
After a good while of overthinking, I fell asleep even though the pain didn’t soothe away one bit, and just then the phone began to ring.
I jolted awake, looking around in confusion before my eyes landed on the screen with Sergei’s name written on it.
My jaw twitched, and instead of attending the call, I grabbed the phone and raised it to throw it on the floor, but my hand paused midway as I began to overthink the possible consequences.
‘So what?
Obedience got you nowhere either.’ my devil whispered, and just like that, I threw the phone harshly on the floor, making it break into layers,…
and the ringing finally died down.
I rested my head back on the pillow, staring ahead at the wall.
The little sleepiness I had also vanished.
I wondered how he would react.
A few minutes had passed, and just as I began to drift back to sleep, an abrupt knock on the door had me snapping my head towards the door.
Who could be here at this hour?
My eyes widened.
“Don’t tell me…” I whispered under my breath.
Was he here?
