Chapter 3. Stolen Purity

Keenan fell silent in his confusion. After a moment, he spoke firmly. "Your joke isn't funny, Love."

Dear God, he even thinks I'm kidding. I'm stunned, sad, and panicked. Keenan thinks this is all a joke. I want it to be a joke, if that's all it was. But what's happening is a bitter reality. Aunt Belinda told me to leave Keenan's life. To make matters worse, Keenan has already been betrothed to another woman.

I wiped away tears that were streaming down my cheeks harshly. Then I looked at Keenan, who was still squatting in front of me with a firm gaze.

"I'm not kidding, Keen. I want us to break up," I whispered.

Keenan looked confused and didn't understand why I had to make that decision. "Why?" he asked softly, with a trembling voice.

I fell silent for a moment, thinking of the right answer and not hurting his feelings too much. I felt my heart tight and extremely painful as my conscience decided to end our relationship.

I bowed my head, too afraid to look into his already reddening eyes. "I no longer love you," I offered a lame excuse, and even tried to strengthen my extremely tight heart.

The pain was very deep, my heart beating hard as I tried to look at Keenan, who became the target of my words. I could feel the disappointment in his now reddening eyes. I never thought our relationship would end like this. We once had dreams and plans for the future, but today our dreams have gone to waste.

Keenan closed the ring box harshly, then stood up and looked at me with a sharp gaze. "What do you mean by what you just said? You don't love me anymore?" he said in a voice that sounded angry. "You forget our promise? Did you forget that no matter what problems we went through, we would never leave each other? Did you forget all that, Ara?!"

I could feel my heart racing as he shook my shoulders, his voice echoing like sand directly entering my ears. My tears fell again. I didn't know what to do.

When my tears fell again, I realized how difficult it was to forget all our memories together and to accept the fact that Keenan and I couldn't be together anymore. I knew my heart was very painful, but I couldn't do anything about it.

However, Keenan couldn't understand my feelings and kept demanding answers from me. "Come on, answer me! Why are you just silent?!" he urged, shaking my shoulders repeatedly. The veins in his neck were bulging. He looked very angry with me.

I knew Keenan was upset and sad about this decision, but I couldn't make myself hold on any longer. "Forgive me, Keen. I can't continue our relationship. I can't force my feelings too far."

Keenan released my shoulders harshly, turning his face away from me. I didn't know if he was crying like me. His shoulders were raising and lowering. He seemed to be trying to calm his anger.

Then he wiped his eyes and looked at me again. "If that's the case, I'll make sure you never leave me," he said, his voice full of anger and then pulling my hand roughly.

I felt the pain when Keenan kept pulling my hand. "Keen, where are you taking me?" I asked with a panicked reaction.

Without answering my question, Keenan opened the car door and told me to get in quickly.

"Get in!" he ordered.

"Where are you taking me, Keen?" I asked again.

"I said get in!" He shouted, telling me to get back in quickly.

I could feel the anxiety in my chest when I heard Keenan's words and actions. But I still obeyed him while bowing my head to get into the car.

Then, he drove fast and arrogantly. I was sitting beside him while Keenan drove his car very aggressively. I could only close my eyes and hold on until my index finger nails turned white from gripping the seat belt.

I could only stay silent, looking out the window as the car entered the apartment gate. I could feel Keenan's tense aura beside me. Once the car stopped, Keenan opened the door and stood beside the car.

"Come on down!" he said firmly, looking at me with a sharp gaze.

"But, Keen ..." I answered hesitantly.

"I said come down!" he interrupted with a tone that sounded more angry.

He pulled my hand strongly, making me shocked and hesitant to go down. However, Keenan kept pulling me until I stood still in front of the apartment.

After slamming his car door, he took my hand tightly and pulled me into the apartment. The pain then appeared in my hand when he really let his grip stick.

"Let go, Keen! It hurts!" I begged, trying to release his grip on me. However, he ignored my plea and continued to hold me with a force that exceeded my limits.

"Awh...!"

I groaned in pain as Keenan dropped my body onto the king-size bed. My body jumped as he slammed me down so harshly.

"What are you going to do, Keen?" I asked shakily, after he took off his shirt and walked towards me. But his rough actions further surprised me when he immediately pulled my neck.

Suddenly, I felt a very painful sensation when he bit my lips roughly. I tried to hit his chest, but there was no effect. Keenan did not care at all about the pain I felt and continued his actions.

"I will make sure you never leave me," Keenan said, panting heavily. His eyes shone like silver lightning as he stared at me with a sharp gaze that seemed to want to teach me a lesson.

"Don't, Keen. I beg you!"

I pleaded with him not to do what he was thinking. But my words seemed to have no effect at all. He continued to treat me like a worthless woman. The pain I felt was extremely deep as he continued to thrust into me relentlessly.

I tried to stop him and begged him to stop his cruel treatment, but he completely ignored my words. He continued to rip my innocence mercilessly, and even my tears did not move him at all.

I felt very hurt and devastated by Keenan's treatment, didn't know what the demon had possessed him and made him lose control. I felt like I no longer had control over myself. My heart was so fragile and broken by Keenan's cruel and terrible treatment.

"Ow!"

I opened my eyes, feeling so very sore.

"Oh my God, what did I dream about last night?" I murmured, touching my head, which was very painful, the sun's rays entering through the gaps in the window. I started to focus on my situation, where I saw my naked body without a single thread, and I immediately looked at someone who was sound asleep beside me.

"Oh my God, did I not dream last night?" I shut my mouth, shaking my head, not expecting that the frightening incident last night was true.

Suddenly, my tears flowed heavily when I remembered about Keenan, who had destroyed my life. I never expected that my lover, the person I love with all my heart, could take away my virginity. I felt dejected and felt that my life was completely ruined.

I wiped my eyes roughly to stop the tears from flowing. While moving the blanket, I got out of bed to take my clothes that were under the bed.

However, as I saw my clothes, I regretted it. I forgot that Keenan had ruined his clothes brutally. Despair began to come over me when I realized that I couldn't wear those clothes.

"I can't wear these clothes," I whispered.

I then looked at Keenan's wardrobe, and I immediately took his shirt and pants. I knew for sure that Keenan's clothes would be too big for my body, but it was better than using torn clothes.

As I was about to leave Keenan's room, suddenly I heard the sound of my phone ringing, it was my ringtone. I immediately headed towards the sound of the ringtone, quickly picking up my phone on the table. I saw my mom's number calling and immediately answered the call.

"Hello," I said.

"Hello, Dear." I heard my mom's voice sobbing on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, Mom. What's wrong, Mom? Why are you crying?" I asked with concern.

"Your father, dear. The doctor says that his condition is very serious. The doctor suggests that we perform surgery immediately," my mother replied in a worried tone.

"What? Okay, Mom. Ara will come home right away," I quickly replied, feeling surprised and worried about my father's condition.
