Eric clenched his jaw so hard he could hear the thud of a tire. “It will be fine, Raymond. I can do it,” he forced out. “Don't bother me anymore. I know what I need to do. That's all I can think of.” “What about the hostages you took? What are you going to do with them?” "Revenge. Normal." Raymond laughed, "There you are, Khoya. I'm already starting to worry. Try to stay sane this time, from what I've heard, they might be useful to us." A strange feeling spread in Eric's chest, "Where are you?" "Very near." "Fine. I suppose I will see you soon.” He hung up, feeling annoyed. Kitten stepped out of the bathroom, looking a little lost. Last night had put them in a different relationship, and now Eric would be the one to maintain the status quo he had created between them before. He put the phone on the table and walked over to his prisoner. She was motionless as he approached, her eyes fixed on the floor and her hands clasped in front of her. Her fear was obvious, but it was also v
Day 9: Dr. Sloan didn't ask why I was crying, and I assumed it was because she realized she understood. She'd rather ask me. “I know what you're thinking,” I say, but it sounds more like an accusation. Dr. Sloan cleared his throat, "What am I thinking?" "That Eric was terrible, that he was so cruel and that I was stupid to love him." She shook her head, somewhat mockingly, and replied in a way that I found very simple. "I don't think you're stupid at all. If I had to say, I think you're extremely brave." I mocked. “That's right. I am courageous. Kudo said the same thing.” There was a clatter of pen as she wrote a few more notes, “So now you have a different opinion. Don't you think your actions are courageous?" "Not much. I think I just do what needs to be done. Eric always said that one needs to do what it takes to survive. Survival is the most important thing.” "Don't you think it's brave to survive?" "I do not know. Do you think the man who cut off his arm, because it was
Johnny tried hard to stay focused on the computer screen in front of him, but as he typed, his mind couldn't resist the wandering thoughts. Yena Ruiz is definitely suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, as she continues to wilt because of her lost lover, who kidnapped and tortured her. Johnny didn't care about his tormentors - not even one bit. All of them are the same. His mother once tried to apologize for hitting him by taking him to the park. The best tormentors can make us believe they feel guilty for what they've done, until we get in their way. But it would be a lie not to admit, at least to himself, that Yena's storytelling ability is quite…attractive. For four hours, he'd listened to her talk about her relationship with Eric, and watched her cheeks change color, her skin pink from what he knew to be agitation. How can you not be affected? Yes, he had an erection, it was painful, but he didn't like it. What kind of person gets "in the mood" to hear a victim talk about being abus
Johnny looked at his watch and decided to order dinner before his favorite Chinese restaurant closed for the night. He almost drooled at the thought of garlic noodles and crispy scrambled eggs. There was a time when he called in two parts, but it's been almost a year since he has a partner to share long hours of investigation; These days, he works alone. That's fine, because he's not very good at people. You're too frank and people don't appreciate it. He's good at his job and people respect him, but that doesn't mean they're willing to take the chance to work with him, or hang out after work. But they still did what he asked, so there was nothing to complain about. If you ask one of the analysts in the back to help you with some research, they will still resentfully follow through and hold all the blame until they get to work with a better team. . Johnny has requested a task force to assist in this case. It is very likely that there will be an unexpected change of scenery and the p
Eric couldn't sleep. He did everything he could think of, he took a hot bath, indulged himself, sat in Raymond's library and looked through his books. He couldn't read, but there were some books with pictures in them. He walked around the house and rummaged through the snacks in the fridge. He had finished his gulab jamun and even now, his fingers and the corners of his mouth were still sticky. He still couldn't sleep. Where is Raymond, he wondered? His heart began to speed up at the thought of the elderly man. What if he doesn't come back? What if something happened to you? Eric's stomach hurt. He was never alone before. There was always someone near him, if it wasn't for the boys then Narweh, if it wasn't for the guy, maybe a regular customer. Eric got up and pushed all the blankets and pillows on the floor, his bed was too soft. He lay on the thick carpet and curled up in the blanket provided. Outside, the wind is howling. Why did Raymond leave him alone? He pulled his knees to h
My head turned away from the window and towards her. I forced out my most brazen smile, "Are you jealous, Janice?" She didn't miss a beat, "For what, Yena?" I smiled again and this time she smiled back. Yes, Sloan has teeth. I like teeth. We talked back and forth for many minutes. She asked me a question, and I turned it to point it at her, then she turned it back to me. This seems like a useless conversation, but I think we both learn a lot of little things about each other after each exchange. However, I would rather talk to Kudo. That's what I told Sloan. “It's not unusual, you know. Some abuse victims tend to gravitate towards strong, trustworthy men…like Agent Kudo. They also tend to behave the way their abuser wants them to, especially when the behavior is sexual.” I feel like she just dipped me in hot oil. "Do not. Don't use that psychotherapy bullshit on me. It was just a damn kiss, not proof of undying devotion. And please remember, I'm not a rape victim desperate for you
I no longer have pain, not for days. The bruises were gone and the scratches had scabbed over. When they heal, it will be like all traces of my time with Eric will be erased. I wrapped my arms around my stomach and squeezed until the thought passed. If a month ago you told me that, I would be so upset because of my flawless skin, I would call you an idiot and hit you hard. But here I am: a girl with no trace, and no reason to keep moving forward. “It's not like that, Pet. You have all sorts of reasons,” Eric's ghost whispers in my ear. I don't know if his voice in my head makes me crazy, but whatever it is, I don't care. It's what's left of me after the scratches heal. I cannot give up on you. Plus, I also knew that voice wasn't real, no matter how much I wished for it. At night, I like to listen to his voice in my mind, when the hospital is quieter and I can focus on making him as real as possible. I opened my legs and indulged myself with the memory of his mouth licking my nipples
I don't know the exact time we got there, but the sun had set not long before that. Eric and I don't talk much on the street. I really don't have anything to say to you that won't result in you punishing me. My heart pounded in my chest like a military drum as we drove along the almost endless driveway to the house. The owner of this house certainly has a lot of money and needs extreme privacy. Huge trees obscured our destination, but I could see lights in the distance. Soon. Soon, I will lose everything that matters most to me. I scolded myself for not trying to escape more, even when I could barely walk, let alone run. But, even if I had to die in the process, I should have tried again. Death would be better than what was about to happen. I know once you put me in that house, I'll be a sex slave for the rest of my life. I know Eric said it was only two years, but I don't have any faith in that. How can that be? “Don't cry, Kitten. I won't let anyone hurt you. Just be obedient and
