7 years had passed since Anaya lost her virginity to the king, but for some reason she couldn't get him out of her head. There was like a bond created between them after he had come inside her that night. She still felt him on her body, like he was still inside her, his fingerprints engraved on her body.
4 years after the incident, Anaya was forced by her parents into an arranged marriage. She felt nothing for her husband and all he seemed to want was to stick his cock in the first available pussy. He had been a virgin and it looked like the only reason he wanted to marry was to have sex. He made no attempt to connect with her in any way. On the first night of the wedding, he got into the room, picked up her dress, pulled down her panties and rammed his cock inside her. There was no foreplay or love making, she was dry as a drought affected village and the man just kept fucking her till he came. It was the most painful thing she had felt and she couldn't stop crying. After he was done with her, he went to the bathroom, washed himself and went off to sleep, not giving her a second thought. This went on for 2 whole years, she was a sex doll for him and he took her everytime he felt horny irrespective of how she felt. She found no point in resisting him, so she closed her eyes and fantasized about the king every single time.
The family had started pressuring them to have a baby now so her husband tried to screw her more than ever. He even screwed her in the washrooms of public restaurants or house parties attended but she wouldn't get pregnant. A visit to the family gynaecologist told her that she could never have kids. She felt relieved rather than sad, unfortunately, she had to bear humiliation from her husband and his family for not being able to bear a child. Finally, she had enough, so she decided to divorce him. Her own parents didn't support her even after she told them about the rape and humiliation she had suffered for 2 years, telling her that they would have to face ridicule in the society. It was at that moment when, she decided to walk out on her parents and never see them again. She packed her stuff and moved in with Joanna who was very happy that Anaya had finally made the right decision for herself. She was very supportive and stood by her best friend through out the divorce proceedings. 8 months later, Anaya got the divorce and truly felt free in a long time.
Few months passed and one night Anaya had a dream about the king calling out to her. She woke up and decided to go to be with him. She told Joanna about it, who was the only person who had known her secret about that night. At first Jo thought she was kidding but eventually believed her.
"I have to be with him Jo, I know it sounds ridiculous, being in love with a ghost but I have to do it." Surprisingly, Joanna was very supportive. She packed her bags 2 weeks later and headed for the island. She got off the ferry and saw that the whole place had changed, small cottages and stores occupied the place where once the hotel and resort was. The first thing she did was run to the palace and was distressed to see a dilapidated building with vegetation growing in and around what was left of the palace. She panicked, trying to figure out what had happened.
"Excuse me!" She called out to a passerby. "What happened here? This used to be a palace."
"You don't know? There was a tsunami here 5 years ago, destroyed everything in this place, the resort, hotels, all gone. Lots of people lost their lives. This is what's left of the palace now. No one goes inside anymore for fear of snakes and other dangerous reptiles. A builder took over this place a year later and build cottages and malls and stores, turned it into a proper town. Then people began living here, within 2 years everything developed, like nothing had ever happened," he told her.
"Is there any way I can rent a place here?"
