Fated To Save You- By: Tina Marie
Chapter 23 - The Nightmare Returns
Wren’s world was dark and distant, a void where consciousness barely existed. Then, the sharp, cold splash of water brought her back, yanking her out of the abyss. Her eyes fluttered open, the harsh light stinging as she gasped for air.
"Ahhh… What?!" Wren cried out, her voice hoarse, confusion flooding her senses. She tried to move, to sit up, but her arms and legs were bound. Panic surged through her as she realized she was tied to the bed, unable to escape. Blinking through the blur, she saw Trevor standing at the foot of the bed, his silhouette menacing and all too familiar.
“You’re finally awake,” he said, his voice dripping with an unsettling calmness.
Terror and despair clawed at Wren’s chest as tears welled up in her eyes. “Please… don’t do this again,” she begged, her voice trembling, but there was no mercy in Trevor’s cold eyes.
“Aww, don’t cry, sweetheart,” Trevor mocked, stepping closer, a twisted smile curling his lips. “I’m right here, and I’ll take good care of you this time.”
Wren’s heart pounded in her chest, her mind racing. How had it come to this? How had the man she once thought she loved turned into this monster? “You’re sick and twisted,” she spat, her voice breaking. “How did I ever love a scum like you?”
Trevor’s expression darkened. “Love? You never loved me,” he hissed, his tone laced with bitterness.
Wren’s tears flowed freely now, her body trembling with fear and anger. “I did love you… before all of this,” she whispered, trying to reach the part of him that might still have a shred of humanity.
But Trevor’s rage only grew. “If you did, you would’ve accepted my marriage proposal!” he shouted, his fists clenched at his sides.
“That’s not true!” Wren protested, her voice rising in desperation. “I just wasn’t ready to be married yet. We only knew each other for a year, and I wanted to finish school first.”
“Fxxxxxx excuses!” Trevor roared, his face twisted in fury. “Lies! Lies are all that come out of your mouth!”
“I’m telling the truth!” Wren sobbed, the reality of her situation crashing down on her. “I’m glad I didn’t say yes to you. I see the horrible person you hid from me.”
Trevor’s eyes narrowed, his voice cold and deadly. “You made me this way.”
“No,” Wren said, her voice steady despite the tears streaming down her face. “I can see now you only wanted me because my family had money.”
Trevor’s lips curled into a sneer. “Is it wrong to want to marry money? That’s what you were to me—a bank.”
“You really are an axxhole!” Wren shouted, the disgust she felt towards him surging up like bile.
“You shouldn’t talk to me like that,” Trevor warned, his voice low and menacing.
“Why not?” Wren challenged, defiance burning in her eyes.
Trevor leaned over her, his hand gripping her chin with brutal force. “Because your life is in my hands, and I can easily end it,” he snarled, his breath hot against her face.
Without hesitation, Wren spat in his face, her eyes blazing with hatred. “Fxxx OFF!”
Trevor recoiled, wiping the spit from his cheek, his face twisting with fury. “You little bxxxx!” he growled. “You’ll pay for that.”
In a flash, he grabbed the front of her shirt, ripping it open with a violent tear, exposing her breasts. Wren gasped, horror flooding her as she struggled against her restraints. “Don’t touch me!” she screamed, but her words only seemed to fuel his twisted desires.
Trevor leered down at her, his eyes filled with perverse glee. “You may be a bxxxx, but you’re a pretty bxxxx,” he said, his voice dripping with malice.
With a rough hand, he yanked her bra down, exposing her further. He leaned in, his tongue flicking out to lick her nipple before biting down hard. Wren screamed, the pain searing through her, but Trevor only laughed, the sound sending chills down her spine.
“I’ll do what I want,” he sneered, his lips brushing against hers in a mockery of a kiss. “I’m just getting started, My Love.”
His hand slid up her inner thigh, the sensation making Wren’s skin crawl. “I’m so glad you wore a skirt for me today,” Trevor said, his voice sickeningly sweet. “It makes it easy for me to do this.”
Wren’s breath hitched as she felt him pull her panties aside, her mind screaming in terror. She tried to twist away, but there was no escape. With brutal force, Trevor shoved two fingers inside her, his touch vile and invasive.
“You sure are wet for someone who hates me,” he taunted, his eyes glinting with twisted pleasure.
Wren stared at him in horror, her voice breaking as she screamed for help, her cries echoing through the motel walls. The sound of her desperation reached Connor, who had been waiting outside, his heart clenching with each agonizing second.
Wren, hang in there. I’m coming, Connor thought, his mind focused, adrenaline pumping through his veins.
He heard the screams, the sound piercing his very soul. Without a second thought, he ran to the door, his fist pounding against it with all his might. “Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Inside, Trevor’s head snapped up, rage and confusion mingling on his face. “Who the fxxx dares to interrupt me?!” he shouted, his voice seething with anger.
Outside, Connor’s eyes blazed with determination. He wasn’t going to let Wren suffer another second. Not if he could help it.
