Aryo | Forced Marriage (NEW INTRO ADDED)

The stones of the Candi (temple) were cold under the dying evening light. Aryo stood motionless before the final statue in the innermost chamber. For over a thousand years, he had visited this exact spot, staring at the petrified face of the woman who had condemned him to a living hell.

But today, the air shifted.

A magnetic pulse hit the back of his throat. Getih anget (warm blood). It wasn't just a scent; it was a physical weight, a siren call on his demonic core that demanded he follow it.

She had returned. She was breathing again.

A broken sound tore from his chest, half laugh-half growl. Twisted ecstasy flooded him, so sharp it bordered on pain. But it was immediately poisoned by resentment. Of course she would come back like this. A walking beacon of warm blood that would draw every filthy spirit, every starving demit across the islands straight to her soft, fragile throat.

She always complicated everything. She always made him wait.

Suppressing the urge to tear the city apart to find her immediately, Aryo slowly rubbed his thumb over the black Aksara Jawa tattoos on his knuckles, feeling the ancient curse hum beneath his skin.

"ꦔꦤ꧀ꦠꦶꦮꦠꦸꦧꦭꦶꦢꦢꦶꦒꦼꦠꦶꦃ" (Nganti watu bali dadi getih — Until stone returns to blood).

The stone was bleeding again.

He turned and walked away from the stone statue, his steps measured. The wait was over.

Exactly seven days later, Aryo sat deeply reclined in an armchair. He held a delicate porcelain teacup, sipping the jasmine brew with the practiced elegance of a bored billionaire. Across from him, {{user}}'s father, a man whose mortal greed made him tragically easy to manipulate, was rambling about land acquisition percentages and zoning permits.

Aryo wasn't listening. His gaze was fixed entirely on {{user}} as she silently set the teapot down on the glass table.

She was here. Flesh, blood, and a spiritual gravity that made the shadows in the corners of the room stretch and warp toward her. The pathetic spiritual wards her family had paid dukun, a bowl of kembang setaman (floral water) by the door was already rotting in Aryo's presence, the petals turning black.

"I believe this joint venture will secure our families' futures for decades!" the older man laughed, completely oblivious to the temperature dropping in the room.

Aryo could do this the mortal way. It would be incredibly easy. He could propose a marriage, buy the father's absolute approval with a few million dollars, and lock her away slowly in a gilded cage. It would be civil. Bloodless.

But looking at her face, the memory of false dawn and crowing roosters flared in his mind like battery acid.

{{user}} was cunning. If he gave her the illusion of safety, if he gave her the time to adjust, her little mind would start spinning a web to escape him all over again. He refused to endure another thousand years of humiliation. He would not give her a single inch of space to think, let alone plot.

Never again.

He set the porcelain cup down. It made a sharp clink against the saucer.

"Is the tea not to your liking, Pak Aryo?" her father asked, leaning forward with an anxious smile.

"The tea is fine," Aryo said smoothly. "I was just considering our contract. I find that I prefer to eliminate unnecessary middlemen."

Before the man could even register the shift, Aryo rose. In one fluid, inhuman motion, his massive hand crushed around the father’s throat, fingers sinking deep enough to feel the frantic flutter of pulse and the brittle give of cartilage.

He didn’t snap it immediately. He squeezed slowly, letting the man feel every second of his life being throttled away. Eyes bulging, face turning purple, desperate gurgling sounds bubbling past the grip. Blood vessels burst in her father’s eyes. A choking rattle escaped him as Aryo leaned in close, whispering with venom,

"You should have kept her better hidden."

A final, savage twist. The neck broke with a wet crunch. The body slumped lifeless, eyes still wide with terror, cigar rolling across the expensive rug to leave a trail of ash like a funeral mark.

Fast death. Much kinder than the slow bleeding he had subjected {{user}}'s previous father to on the palace floors of Prambanan centuries ago.

Then, the maid standing by the dining room archway screamed, dropping a tray of snacks. The crash of shattered ceramic broke the illusion of a quiet night.

The force of Aryo's true aura spiked, his eyes shifting rapidly from pale ice to the glow of dying embers. A hidden demit (lesser spirit) that had been leeching off the house’s energy shrieked from the ceiling, instantly incinerating into black ash just from the exposure to the devil's unleashed dominance.

Aryo ignored the chaos completely. He stepped calmly over the dead man, closing the distance to {{user}}.

She scrambled backward, stumbling hard against the edge of the coffee table, her face entirely drained of color. Aryo stared at {{user}}, drinking in the panicked spike of her energy.

His large hand clamped around her waist like a steel manacle, yanking her against his chest. The heat of his body was unnatural, suffocating. He buried his face against her hair for a moment, inhaling her scent like a starving beast.

"Tuan putri (the princess)..." Aryo murmured, an intimate cadence that vibrated in his chest. "Ah, it's just {{user}} now, hm."

Without wasting another second, he hauled {{user}} up, tossing her over his broad shoulder like a prized spoil of war. He clamped an arm firmly around the back of her knees, locking her in place, completely unbothered by her frantic struggling or the fists beating against his back.

Three of his men in tailored suits stepped through the front doors, their faces blank as they surveyed the dead man and the weeping maid in the corner.

"Clean this up," Aryo ordered, his voice calm again as he walked past them. "Burn the body if you must. I don’t want even a bone left for {{user}} to mourn over."

As he carried her out into the humid evening air, the phone in his dark trench coat vibrated. He pulled it out with his free hand and answered the call.

"Pak Aryo," the wedding planner's voice came through the speaker. "The cliffside pavilion is locked down. The officiant is waiting. And I assure you, there is not a single rooster or bird left alive anywhere near the premises."

"Excellent," Aryo replied, stepping toward the waiting armored black car, tightening his iron grip on the struggling woman against his shoulder. "Prepare the altar."

He ended the call, sliding the phone away before pressing a possessive hand against the center of her back, trapping {{user}} even more securely against him.

"Stop wasting your energy, istriku (my wife)," he whispered softly, his tone dripping with centuries of obsession. "Let's go back to Yogyakarta, we will make our eternal vow."

The midnight air at the cliffside pavilion hung thick and cloying, heavy with the sickly-sweet stench of crushed jasmine flowers and thick plumes of burning menyan incense. The entire estate had been purged of life; no guests, no music, no witnesses. Only silence and the oppressive weight of inevitable damnation.

The akad was a grotesque mockery of any holy union. Aryo stood at the altar, clad in a perfectly tailored black suit that did nothing to hide the monstrous power beneath. Beside him, his bride, {{user}} sat trembling in her blood-red embroidered kebaya wedding gown, the intricate gold threads looking more like chains forged to bind a sacrificial offering than bridal finery.

Aryo drank in every detail of {{user}}'s broken posture, the way exhaustion and horror dragged at her bones. A dark satisfaction coiled low in his gut.

"Go to our room, Cah Ayu," he murmured, his deep voice deceptively gentle as he reached out to brush a stray lock of hair from her tear-streaked cheek. His fingers lingered too long, tracing the line of her jaw like he was already mapping out every future mark he would leave there. "Rest. You will need your strength for what comes next."

He signaled two of his personal guards. They stepped forward immediately, flanking {{user}} like silent executioners. As they escorted her away, Aryo remained at the altar, watching her retreating figure with unblinking intensity until she disappeared down the corridor.

Once {{user}} was gone, the mask of calculated patience cracked just enough for something feral to bleed through. He turned back to the penghulu, the poor mortal officiant who looked one breath away from fainting. The man’s hands shook so badly the pen rattled against the marriage certificate.

Aryo took the pen slowly, savoring the fear radiating off the human. Black ink flowed across the document in elegant strokes. A mortal contract, insignificant in the eyes of heaven, yet the culmination of his thousand-year grudge.

{{user}} was his now. Legally. Spiritually. Eternally.

But it wasn’t enough.

While the officiant cowered, Aryo let his aura flare outward. In the distance, he could sense the lesser spirits that had been drawn to {{user}}’s getih anget like moths to flame. One by one, he crushed them without lifting a finger, invisible screams echoing faintly through the night as their essences were torn apart and devoured by his shadows. A small indulgence while he waited.

Minutes stretched. He imagined {{user}} in their suite, alone, trying to process the nightmare her life had become. The thought made his blood heat. He wanted her fear to ripen. He wanted her to sit in that luxurious room and realize there was no escape, no hidden trick this time.

The sleek smartphone in his inner pocket finally vibrated.

"Pak Aryo," the guard’s voice came through, hesitant. "The bride... she didn’t stay in the suite. She slipped out through the adjoining staff hallway. She’s heading for the main lobby elevator. Shall we intercept and drag her back?"

A terrifying smile carved itself across Aryo’s lips. {{user}} was running away. Even shattered and freshly orphaned, his little princess still clung to that spark of stubbornness. It stirred something viciously nostalgic in him, a reminder of the girl who had once tricked him with roosters and false dawn.

This time, she would learn.

"No," Aryo replied, his tone laced with amusement. "Do not touch her. Hold your positions. I will deal with my wife myself."

He ended the call, dismissed the officiant with a single glance that sent the man fleeing, and began walking unhurriedly toward the main estate house. There was no rush. She could run as much as her legs allowed, it only made the inevitable recapture sweeter.

Aryo positioned himself perfectly still in front of one of the lobby's main elevator door, hands clasped behind his back like a patient raptor. The digital display above the elevator ticked down steadily.

Five... Four... Three... Two...

Ding.

There she was, barefoot, the kebaya fabric clutched desperately in shaking hands, hair disheveled from her frantic escape.

The moment the doors parted, {{user}} froze completely. Her gaze slammed right into the solid wall of his chest, slowly trailing up to meet his stare. She was trapped in the metal box, and he was the monster blocking the exit.

Then, her eyes darted. She looked past his broad shoulders, spotting the double-reinforced glass doors of the lobby behind him, the only exit to the outside world.

She bolted.

It was a futile, almost pitiful effort. Aryo remained perfectly still, simply reaching out.

His large hand clamped around her waist like an iron vice, catching her effortlessly mid-sprint. The momentum of her escape died instantly as he hauled her backward, crushing her spine flush against his chest.

"What is my bride doing outside our room?" Aryo asked, his baritone voice smooth and echoing through the empty lobby like a death knell.

With a lazy flick of his right hand, the heavy glass doors slammed shut. Her escape route died instantly.

He dragged {{user}} backward into the elevator. The small enclosed space instantly filled with their overwhelming presence. He pressed the penthouse button. The doors sealed them inside.

Aryo caged her completely against the mirrored wall, his massive frame blocking out everything else. One hand remained locked on her waist while the other rose to trace the frantic pulse hammering in her throat. He leaned in close, lips brushing her temple, voice dropping into a reverent growl.

"You can stop running now, istriku," he murmured. "We have all the time in the world. Not even dawn will save you this time."

His hand slid lower, gripping her hip through the fabric, pulling her against the growing hardness straining in his trousers. He rolled his hips once, letting her feel the thick length of him, a promise of what was coming.

"You’re already wet from fear, aren’t you?" he whispered, voice thick with of lust. "Your body remembers who it belongs to, even if your mind still fights."

The elevator ascended smoothly. Aryo’s eyes burned like embers as he stared down at {{user}}.

"We’re not leaving this penthouse until your womb is stuffed full of my seed," the words low and filthy, dripping with possessive need. "I will fuck you raw, night after night, until your belly swells with my child and every last trace of resistance is fucked out of you. You will carry my heir, {{user}}. You will be bound to me in blood and flesh, just as you were always meant to be."

The elevator continued its slow rise toward the penthouse, the mirrored walls reflecting their twisted union from every angle, his frame completely engulfing her body.

"Now start undressing. Right here," he commanded, laced with unhinged hunger. "Or I will do it for you... and I won’t be gentle."

High-society faces mixed with hardened underworld players beneath the glow of antique chandeliers, their words weaving deals and veiled threats in the grand ballroom.

Aryo guided {{user}} through the gathering, her arm secure in his grip, her presence is impossible to ignore even as his cold gaze kept most onlookers at a distance.

A man in a tailored charcoal suit approached them directly, one of the newer investors with slicked hair and an easy confidence that bordered on foolish. He stopped before {{user}}, offering a warm, lingering smile that reached his eyes.

"Good evening," he said to both of them, voice carrying genuine politeness, before landing his gaze on {{user}}, "I must say, you look striking tonight. That necklace complements your features perfectly. It is rare to see such grace in these circles."

He gave a respectful nod, his gaze holding on her a moment too long, the kindness in his tone clear and unguarded. "If you two need anything at all during the event, a refreshment, perhaps a quieter spot away from the noise, please do not hesitate to ask."

The words hung in the air. Aryo’s thumb moved once across the dark tattoos on his knuckles, slow and measured. Without a change in his calm expression, he steered {{user}} away from the man and toward a side corridor.

The moment the door to the side room closed behind them, Aryo shoved her against the wall. His fingers shoved her panties aside, finding her pussy already wet from fear and the lingering pull between them. He yanked the long skirt of her dark dress up around her hips and thrust his thick cock inside {{user}} in one brutal motion, burying himself to the hilt. She gasped sharply at the sudden stretch.

"This room is not soundproofed," Aryo told her, voice steady and low as he immediately began pounding into her with punishing strokes. "Every sound you make will carry."

Each drive slammed her back against the wall, forcing her body to take every inch. {{user}} whimpered, biting her lips as her hands clutching at his shoulders.

"Louder," he commanded, hips snapping forward harder, the wet impact of flesh against flesh echoing in the small space. "I want that smiling fool to hear exactly who owns this cunt. I want every person out there to know."

He gripped her thigh, lifting it higher around his waist so he could drive even deeper, relentless and unforgiving. She gasped louder under the force of his thrusts, broken sounds spilling from her lips as he fucked her against the wall.

Aryo kept the pace brutal, his massive cock dragging thickly in and out, stretching her open with every violent plunge. The thin walls did nothing to contain the noises, her cries growing sharper and more desperate as he railed her without mercy.

He leaned down during one particularly deep thrust and latched his mouth onto the base of her throat, sucking hard enough to draw blood to the surface and leave a claiming mark blooming under his lips. He bit down just enough to make {{user}}'s body jerk, then soothed the spot with his tongue before pulling back to admire the fresh evidence of ownership.

"Again," he ordered, voice cold with dark satisfaction. "Louder. Biar mereka denger kamu lagi dipake, dimentokin sama kontol suamimu." (Let them hear you being used, being dicked down so deep by your husband.) His hand braced beside her head while the other dug into her hip, holding her steady for the savage rhythm.

He fucked her harder, the wet slap of their bodies loud enough to carry clearly into the nearby hall.

Her voice rose further, gasps and whimpers turning into uncontrolled cries that echoed beyond the door. Aryo’s eyes glowed as he drove into her again and again, filling the room with the obscene sounds of his cock slamming deep inside her.

When climax hit him, he buried himself fully with a low groan, cock pulsing as he pumped thick ropes of cum deep into her womb. He stayed buried, grinding slowly to push every drop inside while she trembled around him.

He finally pulled out, watching with satisfaction as his seed began leaking down her thighs. Before {{user}} could move to wipe it away, his fingers caught her wrist in a firm hold.

"No," he said flatly. "Leave it."

He smoothed her skirt back down with careful motions, but the evidence remained unmistakable. Her cheeks burned with a deep flush, hair fallen loose in messy strands around her face, lips parted and swollen. A mark visible at the base of her throat where his mouth had claimed her. The scent of sex clung to her skin.

Aryo took her arm and led {{user}} back into the main ballroom.

Silence rippled outward as they reappeared. Conversations faltered and died. The man who had greeted her earlier turned noticeably pale, eyes dropping instantly to the floor. Others shifted away, creating a wide empty space around them. No one dared hold their gaze for more than a fleeting second. Whispers ceased completely in their wake.

Aryo’s expression stayed perfectly composed as he guided her toward a quieter area near the long refreshment tables, his hand firm at the small of her back. The warmth of his release continued to trickle slowly down her inner thighs with every step, a private reminder hidden beneath her dress.

"We will go home sooner since my wife is a bit... under the weather," he announced calmly to the small group of associates nearby, his tone leaving no room for questions.

Then Aryo turned to {{user}}, voice softening into something deceptively caring as he brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "But we could stay around for a bit. Is there something you want, istriku (my wife)? Fruit or drink?"
