(The theme of this story is dark)
It was like a usual day, a young man was in his house. But something draws his attention from outside.
A couple were moving to the house next to his.
They were his new neighbour.
"I guess they are couple" he realised. He then saw the lady of the house.
Wearing a simple black gown flowed down to her feet, its fabric falling in quiet, effortless lines. It didn't sparkle or demand attention, yet it carried a strange kind of gravity—drawing the eye without trying.
And her hair, dark as the night sky. Her eyes were a deep brown—steady, unreadable.
Her fair and skinny arms were holding a white fluffy cat as if she was holding a snow ball.
"Why is she so beautiful?" that young man was just mesmerized by the lady's beauty, anyone would've been mesmerized by that kind of beauty.
They entered their new home.
In the lady's house, many workers were setting up the furniture. The moving was almost done.
"What do you think darling? isn't this house beautiful?" The lady's husband asked while taking steps after steps towards her.
A small, neatly kept moustache rested above his upper lip, sharp enough to give his face a defined edge without drawing too much attention.
His hair, black and well-combed, lay smoothly in place, catching just a faint hint of light.
He wore a coat that fit him well—simple, yet carrying a certain weight, as if it belonged to someone who was used to being taken seriously.
The fabric moved only slightly as he shifted, adding to his composed, almost unreadable presence.
There was nothing overly striking about him at first glance, yet something in the way he stood, in the stillness he carried, made it difficult to simply look away
"Yeah, it is quite good" the lady answered with a smile.
"Sir, the shifting has been done so may we leave now?" A worker asked by intrupting them.
"Yeah, please" the lady's husband answered
All the workers left from the house leaving the lady and her husband alone. The lady's husband came closer to her and pulled her close to him by grabing her waist
She was startled.
"It is so sad that I have to leave aswell so please take care of yourself" the lady's husband said showing some concern
"Don't worry I will take care of myself" the lady claimed. Her husband left the house with a smile.
Now she was all alone in that large space with her cat. She started to look around her new house. She placed her cat on a couch
And she went upstairs, where there were many rooms but she stood infront of a window from where she saw a house
"Maybe I will get to know who lives there in future" that lady said to herself.
"But I wonder if my husband will allow me to go outside this house?" That lady asked herself and grabbed her fabric tightly.
There was a large mirror next to the window and she started to take a look at herself in the mirror
The young man from earlier lived in the house which she was watching a minute ago.
Now, He was looking at her through his window on the ground floor.
He was just mesmerized by the lady's beauty wondering how can anyone be this beautiful.
"Am I unlucky or lucky to have such a beautiful lady as my neighbour?" The young man asked himself
"And the guy from earlier must be her husband, lucky bastard" The young man smirked, knowing that he can't have this lady as she already belongs to someone.
Then he went to the living room of his house and layed down on his couch, he was only thinking about the lady.
AT NIGHT...
The lady's husband came back and without wasting a minute he directly went to their bedroom.
He entered the room where the lady, his wife was sitting on the bed and was combing her beautiful hair, that had the sparkle of the stars as the night sky.
He took his steps and sat next to her.
"Hey darling, I'm back did you miss me?" Her husband asked with a smile, she looked at him
"Yeah I did miss you but I had Piu so I didn't miss you that much and by the way did you have your dinner?" The lady asked, she was more focused on combing her hair.
"Yeah and what about you did you have your dinner or not?" That lady's husband asked with a smile
"Yeah" the lady didn't look at him just simply answered to his question
Her husband smiled at her, "but you know, what? I want more" the lady's husband said.
The lady was kinda confused by hearing that. "What?" the lady asked and she stopped combing her hair.
Her husband grabbed her right arm roughly. The intension was clearly showing on his face
"I guess you know that I don't like this kinda things, I don't want to do anything intimating" the lady refused and was trying to free her arm from his grip.
"And I guess you know very well that what will happen if you say no" her husband warned her with a smirk playing on his face
"No I don't" the lady still refused to her husband.
And he stood up from the bed and laughed a little, he then looked at the lady. She was confused and was scared. Suddenly, he slapped her on her face
"Whakk..."
She was stunned by the sudden action taken by him, she placed her right hand on her cheek. Then he tightly grabbed her long black hair ignoring the fact that she was in pain.
She tried to escape from his grip but couldn't. She then grabbed his grip by her skinny and soft hands
"Why are you like this huh?! You know after marriage you're nothing but a property which I own. Your parents abandoned you because of power you know that very well don't you? Roselia?" He was shouting at the lady name Roselia.
"Roselia!..."
A rose that was supposed to bloom. But obviously how can it bloom when there's no light. When it's caged in concrete cell blocking all the source of light.
The rose would die.
Roselia was in pain. His grip on her hair was strong that she couldn't even escape.
"And I guess you know very well that there is no love between us, Hayuel" Roselia spoke for herself.
But would that save her from the monster? Obviously, No!
His strong grip wasn't letting her go, then he made her stood up by his grip and she was looking straight into his eyes
Her eyes didn't have fear but those eyes of her were saying that she wanted freedom from the cage.
"Heh! Love bullsh*t! Just so you know you're just an object which had been sold to me a year ago, remember that one thing" Hayuel's rude and angry voice lingered in her ears. His eyes were telling her how much power he holded
Suddenly, she pushed him away with her two free hands, while he was distracted and she tried to run away from that room
"Thud!!!..."
The young man from Roselia's neighbour house was working on his laptop. Then he got distracted from a loud noise of falling something heavy on the ground and he realised that it came from Roselia's house and he went to his window, he was looking at Roselia's house
"What is happening?"
