Deprived Love - Chapter 13: Chapter 13

Third person's pov
“Aww, you have a pretty boy with you, Mr. Wilson. Want to sell him?”
The mafia people who kidnapped the 13 year old Chris and his family, said with a mocked tone.
The man crouched on his knees but he was still a head taller than Chris.
The little boy was terrified, he knew that mafia people had many members who were not straight.
This was the day after his dad went to confront the mafia members for snatching away his properties.
Later they knew that the opposite mafia organisation bribed their own security and captured his father. And the other day he and his pregnant mother were kidnapped too.
“I would like to have a piece of his ass.”
The man eyed his body and Chris felt disgust.
He was dragged to a cellar, he begged for help but all the soldiers stood still and the mafia boss showed no mercy to him.
He eyed him as a vulture ready to eat its prey's flesh.
The man cupped his cheeks and licked his own lips. Tears started rolling through his hazel eyes which used to outshine the stars.
The man hovered over him and started touching him. The little boy tried to push with all his strength but his thirteen year self was much…much weaker than a forty-five year old man.
Chris's eyes fluttered open by the memory. He breathes heavily. Sweat glistened on his forehead and his heart was beating erratically.
He blinked several times to adjust to the brightness in the room, and he realised that this is not his past, that man will not harm him, he is dead… he killed him.
He took long breaths to calm himself down as he has been experiencing this for years.
He stood up and walked out of the room but he saw the store room door open. He heard someone talking and he realised that it's Bella and Liam.
“That stupid just realised it too late.”
“Who the hell did you call stupid?” Chris's eyes were instantly met by the pair of brown orbs.
She broke eye contact and fiddled with her fingers.
“I was asking Bella that I will drop her, to her home. But I just got a call, so now that you are awake, can you??”
“I can. But how's it related to calling me stupid?” He narrowed his eyes towards Liam. “Were you back- bitching about me?”
“Oh… no… no.. nothing like that. I'll just leave.”
Liam left, leaving the blonde and ravenette alone.
“May… I drop you?”
Bella nodded.
“You wait in the parking lot, I'll go and get the keys.”
Bella hummed.
Bella waited for Chris and Chris was back in a few minutes.
They both sat in the car and the engine roared back to life.
“Chris?”
“Hmmm?”
“Are you okay?”
“What? Oh, the wound? It's fine. I am used to it.” He grinned, focusing on driving.
“No.. not about that. I observed when you walked to that room when I and Liam were talking. You looked exhausted.”
“Maybe because I blacked out.” He said avoiding Bella's stare.
“It's okay, if you don't want to tell me.” She said, staring at the clear sky.
“I had a nightmare.” Chris confessed after a few minutes of silence.
“Oh. Of what? Just asking if you want to share. You know I study medicals, I can understand better.”
Chris stopped the car, they were out of Bella's mansion.
“Just something traumatic that I experienced back then.”
“What!?”
“Fine. I'll tell you. I was sexually assaulted by the mafia boss with whom your father allied with. He shoved his dick down into my throat. I begged him to stop but he didn't care. He thrusted till my throat was so bruised that I was not able to even cry anymore.” His voice cracked and Bella felt horrible as if someone was hitting with a rod on her chest.
He continued trying to speak normally.
“He threatened me if I'll not cooperate…. He will rape my pregnant mom and I couldn't let that happen. Then he… he shot my dad in front of me and my mom. And he was about to kill us but I don't know what happened he threw us away alive outside the mansion.”
He was cut off when he heard Bella's sob.
“Hey! Why are you crying? Did I hurt you?”
Bella shook her head. Chris took off his seatbelt and leaned closer to her. He wiped her cheeks and cupped her face making her look up to his face.
“I am sorry, Chris!”
“It's okay, you were not at fault… you were never at fault. I was just being an asshole.” He said smiling.
“I hate myself for what you had to experience because of me and my family.”
“If you look at you with my vision, you'll definitely love yourself, Bella.”
Bella sniffed.
“You know the time we spent together was enough for me to always get up whenever I felt my knees weaken. It's okay.. it's really okay. It was just fate.”
Bella nodded.
Chris opened the car door and quickly came to Bella's side to open her door.
She got out of the car.
“Thank you for dropping me.”
Chris nodded.
She turned to go and Chris was about to get in the car when-
“Chris?”
“Hmm?”
“Wanna exchange numbers?”
Chris nodded eagerly. They exchanged their numbers and Bella smiled. Both of them left to their own places.
It's been fifteen days since Bella left Chris's mansion. And it is her first day of her new semester. It will be her last semester of medicals then she will be a surgeon.
Bella always loved to do surgeries, making people come to life again.
It felt heavenly to save someone's life. Bella felt euphoric.
Over these days she met Aria and both the girls were more than excited to see each other back after two months. They went on girly date's and watched movies together.
Bella rented out an apartment with the money she earned by working at Chris's near her university.
Bella and Chris had not been in contact after the ravenette dropped her off at her mansion. Bella felt relieved that at least she is out of this mafia shits. And she really needed some break.
Meanwhile Chris engaged himself in work. He slept less and worked more. He often had drinking sessions with Liam. It helped him to escape.
“He missed Bella.”
Bella is more than excited for her first day of University.
She is outside her university and is in awe. It seemed more crowded than three months ago. She stepped inside the gate.
A smile crept to her lips when she saw some girls chirping, some groups of boys howling and shouting, some teachers passing by an annoyed look and a security man with a blank face.
She felt normal. It felt like a normal life as if she was a normal girl. Not like how she used to feel, ‘different’.
She looked at some students reading a book, her observation was interrupted when she bumped into a boy who was two heads taller than her.
She furrowed her eyebrows, the boy looked familiar.
“Ms. Lingerie?”
Her eyes widened and she gasped. He was the same guy she bumped into when she was buying clothes during her stay at Chris's.
She looked down at embarrassment.
“You shouldn't call me that!” Bella whisper yelled!”
“Oh, just kidding.”
Now that Bella looked closely, the guy looked cute and well mannered. He had dark eyes, long nose, a chiselled jawline, pink lips and he wore glasses giving him a nerdy look.
He grinned and Bella smiled back.
“I am Nicholas Wesley. You can call me Nick.”
“Bella.”
“Beautiful name. You are in which stream?”
“Medicals.”
“Oh, which sem?”
“Last.”
“Oh, me too.” He chuckled and Bella smiled too.
“First day?”
“Well yeah!”
“Come, let's go together.”
“Bro, he's back!” Liam said in a panicked voice.
“Track him.” Chris ordered with a poker face.
