Episode 2

Chapter 2

A week before the accident he had, he read a novel online from a large platform that told the story of a couple. He was an emperor of an empire whose name he couldn’t remember; his name was David Castelli, who married a young woman for whom he had very strong feelings, Iris Dorni. He had been in love with her since he met her at her debut party when she was fifteen. Unfortunately for him, she did not feel the same about him; however, he was unaware of this.

The young woman was forced by her parents to marry the emperor without him knowing. David married her believing that Iris felt the same way he did, as she accepted the marriage proposal so quickly, just two months after he asked her. It wasn’t until after the wedding, when it was too late, that he found out, and that was because he overheard Iris talking to her parents in private in a room of the palace after the ceremony.

He heard how she was threatened by her own parents; if she didn’t do as they commanded, they would ensure that the man she truly loved would die in the worst possible way. So, seeing herself with no choice, she complied. Discovering this was a devastating blow to him, leading him to keep as far away from her as possible during the celebration.

He was sad and blamed himself for seeing his now-wife so miserable, for having to abandon the person she loved.

At the wedding party, noticing that the couple was keeping their distance, her parents devised a plan to ensure the marriage was consummated. If they didn’t do something, it would never happen, as the king had just learned that his wife did not love him and that she had only married him because her parents ordered her to under threat. They knew this because they had been informed by someone who worked for them, who had seen the emperor eavesdropping, and after watching the emperor leave and Iris, he reported back to them.

Moments before the couple was to retire to their chamber, a toast was made to celebrate the newlyweds. The king drank the contents of the goblet in one go, frustrated with the situation he found himself in, unaware that his in-laws, Iris's parents, had paid one of the palace maids to slip an aphrodisiac into his drink.

When they finally arrived in the room, she went to the bathroom to change, leaving him alone without saying a word. When she emerged, she found David sitting on the bed, staring blankly into space. Immediately, she noticed something was off; he was perched on the edge, his breathing quickened, and he was touching his face, as if trying to awaken himself.

She saw the exact moment he noticed her, sending chills down her spine. Without saying anything, he rose and lunged at her, beginning to kiss and touch her everywhere. Despite her struggles and pleas for him to stop, she couldn’t push him off. He threw her onto the bed and climbed over her, tearing her clothes to expose her breasts, leaning down to bite them.

David was so lost in his mind from the effects of the drink he had consumed that he didn’t realize he was hurting Iris, the woman he loved. This incident would mark the beginning of their future together.

He finished tearing the bottom of her nightgown and positioned himself between her legs. While she cried and tried to scream through her tears, David undid his pants and thrust into her with force.

As she had been a virgin until that moment, the strength of the penetration caused her extreme pain, resulting in a piercing scream that tore through her throat from the force with which she was taken. He continued taking her forcefully for a long time, until exhaustion rendered him unconscious on top of Iris. She had long since fainted on the bed, overwhelmed by everything her body had to endure that night.

By the time David woke up, he noticed he was very tired, despite having just been asleep moments ago. He moved, which caused the person next to him to stir. Iris, feeling someone moving beside her, jolted awake in fear, and all the pain her body was experiencing at that moment became overwhelming, prompting her to start crying and moaning.

When David saw her, he was taken aback; she was naked beside him in bed, her body covered in numerous bite marks and some bruises shaped like fingers in various spots. Blood, both dried and fresh, was visible on the sheets, still oozing from between her legs and staining her thighs completely.
