Onika's pov....

How can I be so stupid I should have anticipated something like this would happen as soon as I heard of this 'new boss' facade. I should have ran away with Alex far away from here even before he arrived. I am trapped now. How do I run away with these two hawk keeping an eye on me.

He haven't changed a bit. How can he threaten everyone's job like that. He is still the same immoral bastard. Then again what else did I expected out of him he was never a good person I was just too love sick to admit that. I can't believe I married this sick person of my own free will. I should have thrown the ring right at his face when he proposed to me . Now It's my fault that everyone's job is in danger. If not for me he wouldn't have ever come here. May be he is doing this to get at me for running away.

My attention was diverted as someone knocked at my door."come in."
"You are miss Onika Coulin?" It was Agustin's assistant, I know because after Agustin's speech he gave us a lecture on a whole list of fucked up rules we need to follow if we want to save our jobs.

" Yes I am." I said in a timid voice because I know where it's gonna lead.
"I am James Knight, Mr Agustin's assistant." he said in a tone that even a deaf will deduce how proud he was of it. Even his face was dripping with arrogance.

' And unfortunately I am his wife you idiot but see there is nothing to be proud of it. If anything you should be ashamed of working for a monster like him.' I wanted to shout at him and knock some sense in his tiny brain but restrained myself. Shouting at him won't do me any good. I need to pull my shit together and think of a way out.

Fuck I knew this was going to happen I can't avoid him for much longer. Whom am I fooling now there is no way out. I need to be strong and face him. I can't always run away like a thief every time at least not with Alex at my back .

And anyways there is no where to run he will chase me to the end of the world just for his own sadistic pleasure. The only thing I know is that with out his approval I can't get rid of him. It's only he who can free me of himself now there is no denying that. I need to convince him to leave me alone and I have no damn idea how I am going to do that.

His assistant was giving me an impatient look"Okay, how can I help you" I feigned innocence I clearly know why he is here. "You have been summoned by Mr. Agustin in his office. I can escort you if you want." The urgency in his voice clearly showed that he will loose his job if I didn't go with him. Well I already have the burden of many people's job on my shoulder I don't want to add to the list. So I took a deep breath and said. "After you."

As I lifted my hand to knock at his cabin door. I realized my hands were shaking badly. I steadied myself, I don't want him to know how scared I am.I took a deep breath remembering Alex's smiling face which is the only source of strength in my fucked up life and knocked.
"Come in" came his ever so intimidating voice but it has an element of softness in it or may be I have imagined it.

As soon as I entered his cabin he abruptly stood up. I looked at his face he looked nervous. Which proves that I have gone completely insane because Agustin Deluca and nervousness are the two things what will never go together.

He motioned me to sit on the chair opposite to him. I expected him to shout at me as soon as he lay his eye on me and not as if we are some old school friends going to have a chat over coffee. I walked Upto the chair and stood beside it. He took a step towards me and I visibly stiffened He sensed that and stopped midway his expression looked hurt, why so I can't understand.

I don't know what is happening here to be frank this is scaring me even more may be this is the calm before the storm.

"Onika" my name rolled off his tongue in a painfully slow manner as if merely taking my name is causing him so much pain. I guess that is the extent of hate he has for me. He was going to open his mouth again to speak something but Before he could do that I spoke first.

"Before you say anything please just give me five minutes to speak my part." he looked reluctant "Onika ple..."I cut him off and added
"please just five minutes" I couldn't keep the desperation out of my voice.

To my surprise he nodded. Frankly speaking I didn't expect him to agree, never in the past he once listened to what I had to say, strange. Though chances of convincing him is next to nill but, I have to try because this is the only chance I get.

"I am sorry." he looked taken aback as soon as the words left my mouth but I continued ignoring his shocked expression," I am really sorry if you are still not satisfied with your revenge. But please Agustin I can't take this any more. It was all about how you break me into pieces beyond repair. I congratulate you on that you succeeded in doing that long ago but, please I beg you don't take this to a point of no return.

I know you are angry at me for running away but believe me if I would have stayed for a single more day it would have been the death of me. I can't survive this again I won't be able to come out of it alive this time." I joined my palms in front of him and said " please I am begging you Agustin.

If you ever even for once in your life genuinely loved me please Just tell me What will it take for you to leave me alone. What do I have to do for that?" Of course I know he haven't loved me genuinely for a second or else he wouldn't have done what he did but, I still have to try any way that will work because now there is no denying that there is no way out of here unless Agustin let me go.

By the time I finished speaking he was looking at me with such intensity that it was unnerving my very soul. He took a step towards me. I panicked. He can't possibly hit me here in the office of can he? I gulped the saliva down my throat as I realized the answer. All the past memories came gushing at me making it hard to breath, every single thing was repeating in my head again and again.

Dread was griping me from all sides. I took a step back in fear. I can't go through this again. Tears freely broke through my eyes. Then he took another step towards me and I took a step back."Onika stop" his voice was barely a whisper his breathing was ragged.

But I did stop, I was too afraid to disobey him remembering how he used to get angry and beat me even more if I did that. Now he was standing dangerously close to me he suddenly lifted his hand which made me close my eyes and flinch away keeping my hands infront of my face in defence. I waited and waited but the blow never came.

I looked up at him and what I saw there shocked me to my core it looked like someone has ripped his heart out, I could see wetness in his eye . He turned my face towards himself and wiped my tears away and cupped my face.

I don't understand what is happening. Can it be?? As if on cue he confirmed my doubt.

"Yes I know the truth" his voice cracked, agony was evident on his face. He took in a shaky breath and the next thing I know was he was on his knees and he wrapped his hand around my waist his face resting on my stomach.

To say that I was shocked will be an understatement. He was on his knees and he knows. My mind was not able to comprehend the sudden change of events. I just stood there like a non living being too numb to move and before I knew a sob broke from my throat.

That got his attention and He looked up at me. Yes, he still has the guts to directly look into my eyes even after knowing the truth. His hold on my waist tightened.His breathing was laboured and so was mine.

"I am so sorry Onika I am so damn sorry it's not you who need to do anything it's me tell me just tell me what do I have to do to earn your forgiveness and I will do it no matter whatever it is." He was clutching on my waist so tight as if his life depended on it. He looked like an innocent child who will blindly do whatever I say for my forgiveness but, I knew better this is all just an act. He isn't even capable of repentance.

I don't believe this is the same person whose mere name gives me goose bumps. At this very moment he looked so vulnerable and broken. He was still on his knees and I didn't even tell him to get up. Because it doesn't matter now.

In the past I would have done anything to free him from this pain but when it mattered to me he didn't cared and now I don't. I always used to wake up in the morning with the hope that may be he will realise his mistake and free me from this hell but that day never came. Now his mistakes are to the extent of sins.

The only thing that mattered now was how? in the past I have asked this question every single second of a minute to myself that how do I make him believe me but nothing worked.I wasn't interested in his acts all I wanted to know was"how?" I spoke aloud this time.
