“think of me so lowly”

   Episode- 128 “think of me so lowly”     Alisa’s POV:    He chuckled placing his hands on my waist, “I gave you freedom to work …. I even went gentle after your divorce drama…. But you planned another escape from me… do you think I will forgive you again?” the last part was like a warning…….   I was speechless, I was seeing his face this close which resembles devil like thoughts…. He added, “Are you mistaking my patience by thinking that I won’t go hard, little dove?... are you thinking that I will forgive your every single mistake?.... don’t test me”   I broke down, my eyes were red and filled with tears, I feel pain in my heart like I got betrayed. Edwin said again, “From today itself, you are not allowed to go out of the mansion at any condition without my permission…. Do you get it?”    I cried out, I said, “You can’t do this…. you can’t… you can’t destroy my life,… I worked so hard all those years, I made that store with lot of dreams and you can’t do this to me… you can’t”     He wipe my tear again, his hands were gentle… but he didn’t showed any response on my plead. I grabbed his hand and said, “Please, let me go… don’t take my freedom… I can’t live like that. I won’t move out.. please.”     He pushed me off his lap and said, “I said what I said.”     But I am not ready to give up.  I can’t give up on my life like this… I can’t. Edwin turned his attention to his work like I don’t exist. But I am not giving up. I dialed Vic’s number and it didn’t took lot to him pick up. He is the only person I can think of at this moment…    I heard him, “Alisa.. you called me?... I am blessed, you miss me, right?”    I tried to control my sob, Vic asked worried, “What’s wrong… are you crying… Alisa! You ok?”   I cried out, “Help me, Vic… he said I can’t go store and stay in this mansion.. tell him to-” the phone got  snatched from me and Edwin just turned off my phone and threw it on the bed…    He turned me and I could tell he is angry and ready to kill anyone. He grabbed my arm and he was strong it hurt. He screamed, “I said don’t test my patience!”     But I am not stopping, he can’t just take my store away. I said, “What if I am?..... I am not listening to you anymore…..”     He said with more anger, “How dare you call Vic?... is he that special to you that you are trying to use him against me…” he just cares about me being with Vic,,, not my store.. not my freedom but he is harming them equally    He said again, “Tell me did you sleep with him already… thats why you don’t want me to touch you… is he that good in bed..  is he your sugar daddy? Are you his sl*t?…” his hands were now touching my waist and going further down…    I pushed him away and my legs gave up, do he think of me that low… he thinks of me that way… I sat on the floor and cried out, his words hurt me like no other… he makes me feel miserable when he says that… I cried, sobbed covering my face…     I said between my sobs, “how.. can you think of me like that……” I kept crying and he was in front of me looking at me being miserable……     I felt Edwin hugging me, I opened my eyes and saw him sitting beside me and hugging me, it’s warm and comforting….. how can he hurt me and be comforting at the same time….     But I am not falling for his tricks , I pushed him and almost screamed, “Stop!... stop playing with me. I just wanted to take care of grandpa… but you imprisoned me in the end.. and taking my store too…. When I call help from friend… *sobs* you are calling me sl*t… and now why comforting me after hurting me.”    His face showed emotion as if he felt bad like regret , he pulled me into hug and this time more tight and with strength, I tried to push but he got tighter…. I heard his whisper, “Shh… don’t cry, little dove….. I am sorry for saying that… I lost control… just don’t cry…. I can’t see you like that… why can’t you understand I can’t tolerate someone with you…. which is not me…. ”    I heard him right he is apologizing to me,… Edwin Gray is saying sorry…. To me… why? He was never like this to me then why now?
