Chapter 28 Empty eyes

Third POV: 
Vincenzo was behind Ava, chasing her and trying to control his impulse to pounce on her and show her what will happen if she disrespects him and not obey his orders.
He doesn't have any moral compass as no one showed any morals in his upbringing nor there was anyone who showed me nor taught him what is right and wrong.
Vincenzo has given so much lenience to his wife and he can't let her disobey him like this. If anyone saw her rebelling against him and the word will reach to his father and he has to pay hell and will land him in trouble and everyone will mock him for being a pussy and not controlling his wife.
“ Stop right there, Ava!” He growled, hot on his heels behind her but she ignored his warning and practically ran towards her room. If she thinks that merely a door can stop him from reaching her then she is mistaken very badly.
She hasnt seen this side of Vincenzo yet and he was controlling himself to not show her but she didn't leave any choice.
Vincenzo was sheltering her form his cruel life as he felt a flutter in his stone cold heart when his eyes met hers but there is no space for kindness and empathy in his world and she had to learn the hard way that he is not going to be a loving husband nor a good human being.
She entered her room and tried to bang the door on his face but he put his foot to stop the door at the last second, pushing and entering the room.
“ Get out, Vincenzo! I don't want to talk to you. Iam tired.” She sat on the bed not looking his way and her head is bowed down.
“ You don't disrespect me and expect me to take it with my fucking arms open!” A cruel chuckle left his lips, making Ava whip her head at him and her eyes widened with shock and fear at the anger brimming in his eyes and the way his jaw was shut right.
His face was void of any emotions and his dark eyes has nothing in them. Ava has seen Vincenzo’s anger and indifference but the Vincenzo who stood infront of her is truly a devil incarnate and her heart started hammering loudly in my chest.
Fear gripped her insides and for the first since she put her foot in this mansion that she is fearing for her life and that too from her husband.
Tears brimmed in her eyes and her body froze on the bed and eyes were wide as saucers.
“ Get up!” Vincenzo commanded in his emotionless voice and Ava jerked from the bed like an obedient slave and stood there with shaking knees.
Vincenzo slowly prowled towards Ava like a true predator and stood in front of her leaving some space between them but she still smelt him and tried to hang onto the familiar feeling of warmth which she came to like came with his presence but all she felt was coldness and she shivered unknowingly, shrinking into herself to save her.
“ You mistook my niceties and a pinch of attention for my weakness, Ava. I DO NOT TOLERATE DISRESPECT.” He gritted out the words with so much blankness in his tone and the way his empty eyes are fixated on her face.
“ When I tell you to run, you run, when I tell you to sit, you sit. When I tell you to come, you come. And when I tell you to stop fucking breathing, you fucking stop breathing.” Every word, every command feels like a bullet to her body and heart. She thought she was slowly making some progress but all she did was poke the devil and now she is facing his wrath. 
“ Do you understand!” Ava doesn't know what to do at the moment as fear has paralyzed her body and she stood there like a statue.
“ DO YOU UNDERSTAND, AVA!” She slowly nodded her head in agreement, not having the ability to answer with words.
“ Good! I expect full obedience from you as expected from Vincenzo Marino’s wife. This is the last warning my sweet little wife.” His time turned to mocking at the last sentence and his lips curled in a sneer.
“ I will send the maid with your outfit for the evening and I expect you to be ready and come down in an hour.” He left the room with those parting words and closed the door with a bang jolting Ava from her trance and startling her.
Ava’s body crumbled on the ground and she curled herself in a fetal position trying to find some warmth as her husband had left some of his coldness in her room.
A sob left her lips as she tried to hold it in but soon many sobs followed and her small body shook with those sobs. She was truly and utterly terrified of the man who showed some warmth these days and fought with her and teased her like a lover but he was nothing but a wolf in a sheep’s clothing, hiding and waiting to attack her.
Her heart felt like it's tearing into pieces and the hope which was ignited by their bickering and the way he made her felt dimmed and turned to darkness.
She was so foolish to hope and imagine that her life would turn out like the female leads she has read in the fiction where the villain will burn the world for her and worship the ground she walks on. 
She is not a female lead in any story and she won't get any villain who is the hero of her story.
This is a very rude awakening to her and from now she won't be in her lala land and hope for her fucking happy ending. Ava cried her heart out as she was being so stubborn and trying to find some positivity in her situation and for the first time since her wedding she let out the hurt, fear, sadness and the feeling of loneliness in this world catch up to her.
She cried for the unfairness of her father for blackmailing her to get married to a monster, for her bad luck and for her getting her hopes vanish once again at her getting a peaceful and happy life.
Ava is all alone without anyone to wipe her tears nor pick her up as she falls apart. She is the only one who has to put herself back. Her tears stopped and her sobs followed, there is nothing left right now inside her and she switched off everything and she won't be going back to be that stupid and naive Ava who thinks that she will grow a plant in a dessert.
A knock sounded from outside her room and the maid entered the room with a garment bag. She put that on the table and left the room silently all the while Ava is still curled upon the floor but now she is silent with tear stains on her cheeks.
She will be an obedient wife whenever he needs her and that's it. She is never going to give him the power to ruffle her and show her how weak she is in front of him.
