Thanks for reading this far and know that everyone who is following me or this story or favoriting or whatever by the time the last chapter comes out will have a surprise in the epilogue! Also, there is a quote in here from the movie Suckerpunch! Enjoy.

Castiel stood on the porch of the maid's house, leaning on a pillar with his eyes closed. He sighed as he shifted uncomfortably on his heels. The maid came outside and placed a hand on his upper back. He flinched.

"Come inside, Castiel. I have to put on the ointment."
He walked inside and stood in the middle of the living room. Another one of the maids stayed the night to help out. She helped Castiel out of his pants and held his hands as the first maid applied the ointment.

"Ahh…"
"I know it hurts, Castiel. I'm almost done."
She finished and they helped him back into his pants.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Who is that?"
The maid answered the door.

"Hello-"
She stopped when she realized it was Maximus.

"Where is Castiel?"
She paused. Maximus smirked.

"I'm not that angry anymore. Where is he?"
"In…here."
She looked back to where Castiel was sitting.

"Castiel…Maximus is here…"
Castiel's eyes widened with fear as his breathing quickened. The man smiled as he approached Castiel , who backed away from him in response. Maximus held his arms out to Castiel.

"Come here, baby."
Castiel held up a hand as he backed away.

"Please don't…"
Maximus laughed as he grabbed Castiel's wrist and pulled him closer.

"You're coming back to the house with me, Cas."
Castiel shook his head.

"Let me go…"
"Nope. You're coming back. I told you I was going to make love to you tonight."

"I don't want to…"
"I want to, baby. Why aren't you thinking about me, huh?"
Maximus kissed his cheek. Castiel tried to pull away but the struggle slowly grew until Maximus was forcefully grabbing him and Castiel was trying desperately to get away.

"Just…come back to the…house…baby."
Maximus threw Castiel up against the wall and used his body to pin him in place. Castiel screamed on impact as he held his arms up to shield himself. Maximus leaned in and whispered into his ear.

"I'm trying to ask nicely. If you keep telling me no, baby…we both know I'm going to get what I want. We can do it the easy way and I can be gentle or we can do it the hard way and I can tear you open. You're really starting to piss me off and in a second I'll rethink how nice I'm being to you. Think carefully about your next words."
Castiel slowly stopped fighting and stood still, letting his tears fall as Maximus kissed him.

"Good. Come on, baby."
He was trembling so much he couldn't leave where he stood by the wall.

"Castiel…I'm losing my patience."
He continued to violently trembled as he put a foot forward.

"I'm sorry…please don't hurt me anymore! I'll get rid of my phone! I'll do anything-"
Maximus clasped his hand over Castiel's mouth.

"Shut up. Come on."
He led his trembling husband out the door and to his car.

They got back to the house and made it up to their bedroom. Maximus undressed and laid on the bed. He looked up at Castiel who was still nervously standing at the foot of the bed, wiping his eyes.

"Get in the bed."
"Please-"
"GET IN THE BED!"
Castiel jumped before quickly undressing and easing onto the bed. Maximus got on top of him and pinned him down.
"Maximus…ahh…"
"Shut the fuck up."
Maximus roughly grinded into Castiel, rubbing up against his burnt flesh. Castiel tried to push him away, but every time he did Maximus sped up, adding force as his hairy groin scraped Castiel's skin.

"Stop it! Please stop it! You're hurting me!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
"Maximus AHHH!"
Maximus dug his nails into Castiel's burnt flesh, earning a scream from Castiel.

"I am growing tired of these games, Castiel! You will respect me. I will break you!"
"Okay! Okay! I'll do anything! Stop it!"
He continued to push and hit Maximus trying to fight his way out.

"Let me go! It hurts! I can't take it!"
Maximus tightened his grip until he climaxed. He looked Castiel in the eye.

"Go get cleaned up. Don't try me again. I will destroy you."
Castiel ran to the bathroom and got into the shower without thinking. The water had yet to warm up and sent a freezing sensation all over his flesh. He held onto the rod to balance himself. Suddenly he heard a terrifying noise.

CLICK!
He looked through the glass to see Maximus sitting on the counter loading a revolver. He froze. Maximus saw him.

"Come out, Castiel."
"Please don't shoot me…wait… shoot me…I don't care."
"This is a warning for if you piss me off again. This is what is going to happen."
Castiel was silent.

"Remember the five trees in the clearing with the letters carved into them?"
"Yeah?"
"Those are my exes' initials. One for each guy. They're buried under the trees. Remember I already carved your initials on a sixth one. If you cross me, you understand…"
Castiel looked down as he nodded.

"As long as you know."
He walked off.

Later that night, Castiel was laying in the bed next to Maximus staring at the ceiling.

"I can't do this."
He kept his eyes on Maximus as he eased out of bed. He put on his shoes and grabbed a jacket before finding some rope in the garage. He didn't take a car to where he was going because the last thing he wanted to do was leave tracks for Maximus. He made his way to the clearing and stood under the tree with his initials. The letters were carved beautifully.

"This tree is the most important one on the entire island. It represents our love. The other ones are from the old owners of this island."

"He fucking lied to me too."
He touched the letters before looking up to one of the branches.
"I have to get up there."
He climbed the tree, ignoring the pain that shot through his midsection as the rough bark brushed against his skin. The rope was easily tossed over the branch and then to the trunk of the tree. Castiel scooted out futher onto the branch and tied the rope tight before pulling it around his neck.

"I can't do this anymore. I hate it here."
He took a deep breath.

"I can do this."

He started to lean forward to prepare for the jump when two of the servants came walking up a nearby path. They immediately saw him and began to panic.

"CASTIEL?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! PLEASE COME DOWN!"
"I hate it here so much!"
"Didn't you choose the house?"
"Not just the house! I hate Maximus! I hate him so much! I can't do this anymore!"
"Castiel, please come down."
"No…I can't…what do I have to look forward to? Maximus hurting me? Threatening to kill me? What?"
They could not answer.

"Exactly."
"Please come down, Castiel!"
They froze when they heard a noise behind them. They looked back to see Maximus standing behind them.

"Get your ass out of that tree. Now."

"Castiel!"
He shook his head. Maximus quickly climbed up the tree. Castiel scooted further off onto the end of the branch.
"Go away! Leave me alone already!"
"I told you I would break you."
Maximus broke the branch off the tree and sent Castiel tumbling to the ground. He jumped out of the tree and ran over to Castiel. Castiel screamed as Maximus punched and kicked him. The maids panicked when Castiel held his arms up to protect himself as he curled into a ball.

"It hurts…ugh…I can't…breathe…"
"Maximus stop it! You're hurting him!"
One of the maids pulled Maximus back. He began to choke the woman when a butler came walking up the path and saw what was going on. He and the other maid pulled his hands from the maid's neck. Maximus started to go for Castiel again, but the maids threw themselves over the sobbing man to protect him. The butler got between Maximus and the group and held his hands up.

"Maximus, calm down. You are getting out of control. You're angry. You should go rest."
"Don't forget your place. Move."
The butler sighed.

"I can't let you do this to him."
"Oh really?"
BAM!
The maids screamed as the butler hit the ground. Maximus blew the smoke from the end of his revolver before taking aim at Castiel. The maids begged him to stop.

"Maximus! Think about what you're doing! If you love him this much to murder for him, why would you hurt him?!"
Maximus looked past them to Castiel who was blankly staring back at him. He wasn't conscious…well if he was, he was zoned out. Maximus started to tighten his grip on the gun but second thoughts made him drop it to his side.

"Get him up."
The women helped Castiel to his feet before leaning him up against a tree. They remained between him and Maximus.

"Take him."
Maximus gestured to the dying butler.

"Get him medical help."
They started to help him up. As they hurried to a boat to rush him to the hospital, Maximus stood by Castiel. He observed him closely, noting that he was trembling.

"Can you hear me?"
Castiel trembled but stared blankly forward, remaining silent. Maximus placed a finger under Castiel's chin and lifted it so he could see Castiel's face. Castiel continued to look to where he was looking in the distance instead of looking at Maximus.

"Look at me."
He slowly looked up until he met Maximus's stare.

"I told you, baby. You're making me crazy. I don't want to be crazy. I just want to love you and make love to you. You aren't letting me do that. When I see you getting calls from other guys, I get really jealous. It's like I'm a kid sitting in the corner of the sandbox and I watching everyone else play with my toys. I don't want to share anymore. You're my favorite and nobody else will play with you if it kills me."
He kissed Castiel's lips and picked him up.

"Let me take you home."
"Ahhh…"
"Shh."

They made it back to the house and Castiel had to shower again before getting into bed. When he did, Maximus embraced him tightly.

"Stay with me."

Footsteps. He traced the carvings in the ruins with the tips of his fingers. Stone gargoyles howled in silence at the one who opposed the peace of the sanctuary. Walking around early was not his thing, but for the sake of sanity, he'd decided to try it. This man could not stay in the house any longer. Castiel sighed as he crouched with his face to his knees.

"Castiel? Where are you?"
He put his hands up over his ears.

"Stop calling me…"
"Castiel?"
"Be quiet."
"Where are you,baby?"
"I want to get out of here."
"Here you are, baby."
Castiel rocked on his heels.

"What's wrong?"
Castiel didn't answer. Maximus placed a hand on Castiel's back but he flinched.

"Don't touch me."
"I'll touch you if I want."
"Stop it."
"What's the matter with you?"
"I'm tired."

"I'll lay down with you."
"No…stop touching me."
"Come on."
"Stop it!"
"Castiel."
"Stop it!"
Castiel ran back to the house and sat on a couch. When Maximus found him, he tried to run again, but the man sat on his lap.

"Stop running and tell me what's wrong."
"I need to get away…"
"You need to get away? We can take a vacation."
"I need to get away from you! I can't stay here! I hate you! I hate you more than anything! You took my life from me! I want to go!"
"I didn't take your life from you. You agreed to marry me for money. Think about it. Would it have been fair to me if I gave you that kind of money and you just spent a day with me? How desperate do you think I was?"
"Leave me alone."
"I don't care. I saved the one you loved in exchange for your love. You aren't holding up your end of the bargain."
"It was in exchange for marriage! Not love! I didn't have to live with you! You never let me leave!"
"I don't give a fuck. You're staying with me. You love me."
"No…"
"You do love me."
"I hate you."
"I love you and you love me."
Castiel shook his head. Maximus reached into his pants and grabbed his genitals again. He twisted the organs, causing Castiel to scream.

"You love me. Say it."
"No…"
"SAY IT!"
He twisted the organs again.

"I love you! Let me go!"
"I'm getting crazy again. Don't do this to me."
He let Castiel go and stormed out of the room.

"I'm done. This has to stop tonight."

I know that ended roughly but the climax of the story (that's what the she-story said!) is coming next. Then the last chapter. Then the epilogue. The last chapter might be mixed with the climax. It all depends on how it goes because I write as the story comes to me. My plan was to write a random yaoi story that was at most five chapters. Then five became ten and ten became twenty and so on and so forth. Then I decided to have Nathaniel and Castiel torn apart. Then I was like hey what about lys. Then I was like ooh random guy for castile. Hmm…I want to make him a douchebag. The ideas just come to me. So thanks for reading and supporting. It means a lot!
