2021-06-18 06:31:47They arrived at Nick’s home and she was impressed. She had never been here or even knew he could afford something like this. She thought he stayed in the cabin in the mountains. The sleek, minimalistic decor he had chose for his home was a contrasting difference from the cabin in the woods theme, they had shared, as well as the tents and yurts they had inhabited for the last few months. She found herself admiring the all glass pillars that sat on each side of the front door.
She was impressed by his versatility and style, but all she wanted to do was be held by him and made love to until she forgot about her problems. Then she would tell him about the baby, but that didn’t happen. He gave her a quick little tour and showed her where his bedroom and the bathroom was. He promised her she was safe and then he left. It was dawn when he finally made it ba

Elayna awoke a few hours later. She didn’t recall when Nick got out of bed. She sat up. What time was it? Nick’s room had no windows. It was decorated very well but it was surrounded in white stone.She got up then. She wrapped the sheets around her. She recalled what he told her last night about where all the different rooms were. She walked down the hallway. It opened up into a large space with a divider. One was the kitchen and dining room area and the other was the living room area. She saw two plates with food on the table, but still no Nick. She walked into the living room area where the sunlight spilled out.She saw him then. He was standing outside on the porch talking on his cell phone. She could see him through the all glass walls. He finally turned around and saw her. He smiled and waved at her. He held up his hand to signal h

He was running on very little sleep with her promise running thru his brain on repeat. She wanted an end to her husband’s control and abuse. He circled the property, then drove to the location he had asked the detective to meet him at. He opened the console in the car to see his beretta gun on top of his papers. He always carried a weapon. He could handle himself without one, but that was his preference. He took it out and put it in the black holster he wore situated on his lower back. He put his black leather jacket on carefully as well. Five minutes later he arrived at his destination. He utilized the back entrance of the abandoned construction site to make sure he hadn’t been ambushed. He was glad he hadn’t been. He saw the detective’s unmarked vehicle it was parked twenty feet in front of the old 1920’s style buil

"Did u see anything strange? Overhear any questionable conversations?” The Detective asked.He looked at him and saw that he was serious. He would not tell him about having to point a gun in Alvarez’s face. So he lied.“Mr. King never did anything in my presence. I was assigned to Mrs. King. I looked out for her and escorted her to different places. That night, I helped Mrs. Black and Mrs.King escape. Mrs. King no longer felt safe in her home or in the state. So she had me take her to a safe place. You found us. Tell me detective, what did she do when you drove her to the airport back to that monster?” He clenched his jaw, already knowing the answer.“She cried.” He furnished.It all dawned on him then. She wasn’t quiet bec

“Why the hell not?” Nick asked. Who would stop him?“Because there are over a hundred guests and you would be compromising her safety as well as the safety of the guests. You have to wait until after this party.” There was a long pause. “I will help you. That is, if you let me.” The Detective promised.Nick was wary to say the least.“I still need to see her.” He sounded defeated.“I think I can arrange that.” Pete agreed.“You know, I’ve been talking to a Detective and he said he could help us if we have evidence.”

He was so joyous at the thought.No more secrets. No more hiding his love for her.“Yes, speaking of starting our lives together there is something I have been meaning to tell you about. When I was with Bradley I became ill and fainted. He had the doctor take a look and she says I’m pregnant. It’s your baby Nick.”He looked like he was in shock.“You’re pregnant? I can’t believe it.”She stood up then and he wrapped his left arm around her waist and put his right hand on her abdomen.She smiled at the tender gesture. Everything felt right in the world. She didn’t know for how long. It felt as if she had

That Night :11:15 p.m.The sun had gone down hours ago. Elayna was on her eighth news channel outlet but still, there was no word about her escape last night. Something was wrong. Whatever it was, she hoped she was strong enough to endure. She knew Nick would be there by her side protecting her and their baby. She put her hand to her abdomen and said a silent prayer of protection for her child. Just when she finished Nick came into the living room. He was dressed similarly to the night she had left her husband’s home.“Where are you going?” She asked. A slight smile on her face.“I’m going to go meet detective Lawrence. I shouldn’t be long, an hour tops.”She wrapped her arms around herself.

She hadn’t realized the explosion had knocked her out until she opened her eyes. She could hear nothing but a loud humming noise in her ears. She looked around through the dust and the smoke area. Something warm and sticky was running down the center of her forehead. She touched the liquid and saw it was blood. She wiped it on her jeans. She looked around frantically searching for Nick and Pete. She saw black cars pulling up in the distance. She still couldn’t hear, only the loud humming noise inside of her ears. She tried to stand up but was unable to, so she crawled over to Nick’s motionless body. Fear gripped her. She shook him frantically, and called his name.“Nick!”It was no use. His bloody face was motionless.She cried

That infuriated him and he tried to get out of the chair.“Fuck you !” He shouted, and was punched, this time in the face.Mr. King was finished with him, for now. He walked over to another male figure that was hanging from a metal hook tied up in the next chair. His vision was blurry but he didn’t need it. He knew it was pete.“You fucking traitor! I hope it was worth it !” he yelled.His goons moved quickly and lowered the hook that he dangled from. and latched his rope tied wrists on to it. His shirt was ripped open. He was covered in soot, ash, dirt and blood.Nick’s vision improved, but not by much and watched as Bradley pulled out a blade. It gleamed in the light.&nb

“You would kill me ? Over him!” Bradley sounded angry.“If I have to.” She admitted.He pressed the gun into Nick’s temple then.“Elayna don’t do this.” Nick replied. “ Save yourself.” He was not being able to see her, but he could hear her and the fear in her voice.She wanted to listen to Nick, but right now she wasn't in a position to. She had been physically and emotionally abused by his man. Systematically broken down by his rules and control and she wanted to be free of him.

Elayna noticed Rosa was still there.She walked over to Elayna. Rosa looked at the goon, then back at Elayna. Her tears streaked her makeup and she could see the bruising they had covered up so strategically earlier. She picked up the needle then.“Rosa... please…” She begged her then, not knowing what Rosa would do next.The goon looked at Elayna. He smirked.“Mr. King won’t mind.” She informed him. “Now, you slap her arm so some veins show for me.” She instructed him.He did what she asked. He kept his large hand on Elaynas arm.At the very last minute, Rosa injected all of the contents inside of the needle

Elayna sat down on the couch in front of the fireplace.He sat down beside her. He was holding a glass of scotch. He took a drink then.“Alvarez was never going to sell. Not after that debacle your boyfriend caused. So I did what I do best. I got him to.”“By framing him.”“I didn’t frame him. I just made some information readily available to the police so he could forfeit his company over to me.Why does this concern you again?”“I told you. I just want to know. I have that right now. I’ve seen too much not to know, right?”“True.” He admitted.“What ab

She placed it in her hands then gave her a small clutch that matched her belt. She opened it and put the phone inside of it making sure to hit the record button before doing so.“Thank you. If I wasn’t so sore I would hug you. I need you to stay safe Rosa, understand?”Rosa nodded her head ‘yes’.“After dinner tonight I need you to leave. Alright?”Rosa nodded her head ‘yes’.When she did the door opened and one of the goons she remembered from last night came into her room.“Mr. King sent me.” He grumbled.She let go of Rosa’s hand, but not before givi

Nick could no longer see.Both of his eyes were swollen shut.Pete had been stripped down to his underwear, sliced and tortured by cuts and salt.Nick’s hand felt as if it were going to burst open for the pressure at any moment. The pain was excruciating. They were both in pretty bad shape. Both of them were dying of thirst . They were only given salt water to drink, which they didn’t. Nick had been waiting for an opening to get free, or for one of the goons to make a mistake so he could reap the benefits of that and dive something, but it ever happened.After hours of torture they were both put in makeshift cages. Nick was sitting in the corner of his protectively holding his hand. Pete hadn’t moved si

Elayna opened her eyes and within seconds realized she was back in her home in her husband’s bed. Had it all been a dream? She asked herself. She was about to sit up when she felt something stinging her left arm. She looked around then.She had been wrong. She was not in Bradley’s room but her own. She had an I.V. in her left hand. Her room looked like a hospital room. There were various medical machines and beeping noises. She felt the back of her head throbbing and touched it. It was wrapped in gauze. The sunlight poured into the room.She remembered the explosion and hitting her head. She also remembered who had caused it all. Last night had been real, she thought. She tried to get out bed once more and noticed she was handcuffed to the bed. She heard Bradley’s voice then. He was standing by the window looking out on their prope
