Chapter Five
Brute
In a warehouse, i woke up to see some armed men and a rough looking lady in the room, I found myself tied to a chair, the rope was so tight, it was digging into my skin
"Em, where am I?" "It's about time, sleeping beauty""Who are you guys and what do you want from me?" i asked still trying to keep my eyes open, gosh! my head hurts, only if i knew it was about to get even worse"What can I possibly want from you?" the woman said looking at me with what appears to be envy before she continued "your husband have something of ours and we want it back, so princess, where is he?" "Who?"Slap! My ear started to ring so loud, i actually didn't see that coming "Let's try this again, where is he?"I don't knowAnd there another slap landed on my face, I really felt the urge to cry, I don't think I have ever been slapped so hard in my life. I felt my cheeks swell"You are going to start talking or this will get really ugly for you" she said enjoying herself, oh how i hated her"I don't know where he is, we had a fight, he barged out..before I could finish talking, so I don't...I don't know" I responded in between the pain, a tear ran down my cheek"It's okay sweetheart, it's okay, you don't have to cry, it's okay, I just don't believe you, you see. Make her talk!" the lady said before leaving the roomA very masculine man took over"So, sweetheart, you better start talking, or this is gonna get ugly from here" he said with a straight face, I was scared of out my mind, why won't they believe me, I really don't know were my husband is as I recently found out he doesn't work at the public office downtown like I thought before, I was scared for my life, I have seen this in the movies, oh God! he is going to destroy my face isn't he. And Dave, he doesn't even know where I am, he is probably not even home now. Where am I anyways? Is this the end? No, I have to get out of here so I started to beg"Please, I promise I don't know where he is, please just let me go""Tell me what I want to know or that pretty face of yours is not going to be so pretty by the time am done with you" the other one laughed. My face, I said it, I don't want my face destroyed, am suddenly I started to scream"Help, help me, somebody please help" there was a pause then they both burst out in laughter"What is she doing?" said the other guyYeah Sarah, what are you doing? You actually think anybody could hear you from here"Is she stupid?" He continuedYes are you stupid Sarah? I really felt stupid shouting for help like that without thinking but that was the least of my problems. "Please...I have told... told you I don't know" I said my voice shaking. He gave me a hit to the stomach, i groaned in pain"So tell me, where he is""I...I...I (groan) I could barely make out any word considering the rush of pain I am feeling right now"You know, you have a nice body" he said and then grabbed my boob, so this he is what he's been hitting, damn! I wish I had his part of the job, he licked my face, words can not express how disgusted I was, I felt sick instantly. I shook my body in an attempt to get his hand off"Just tell me where he is, this all ends and we can go have a good time""Fuck you!" I shouted "Oh you will be soon" He brought out a picket knife and cut the ropes, I can feel blood rush through my wrist and it was painful. He then grabbed me from the chair, kicked the chair away and gave me a heavy slap that got me on the floor. I groaned, i couldn't feel my face anymore, everything was blurry, i think am going to faint. I tried to get up but couldn't, i wasn't meant for this life, how did i get here"Get her up" I heard him say to the other guy"Brace yourself sweetheart, we are just getting started" Getting started? Why do they keep saying that after all they have done"Please, please stop, I don't know (groans) where he is" Another heavy slap landed on my face and i was down on the floor again. I can feel my head spin, my cheeks swell and my eyes blurry like I partially went blind. I tried to grab unto someone or something but it was just an empty space. I just crawled around in pain hoping to grab something"I'm so enjoying this, like man my shit is on, she is just my type, he laughedI have never hated someone so much in my life, i wished he dies the most horrifying way anyone can imagine, for what he is doing to me and the fact that his creepy ass enjoys it, makes it worst. He came close to me and kicked on my belly. I screamed in pain "Shut the fuck up bitch!" he shouted at me. I rolled on the floor holding my belly, I was vomiting blood at this time"This could all end, just tell me where he is" He grabbed me from the floor and was about to hit again when the Castillo the leader of the gang came in followed by the lady that was there earlier. "That's no way to treat a lady, put her down" ordered CastilloHe over to where I was touched my face and said"Hey pretty, how about you tell us what we wanna know and we all get to go home, what do you say?"I....pro...mise...I.. don't...don't know....where he.. is..please...ju..st let ..me go please" I cried "Ah, that sweetheart cannot be done you see, you have to give me what I asked in exchange for that" He then grabbed my neck and pinned me to the wall, squeezing my neck tighter and tighter. I began running out of air, i struggled to breathed but i was loosing, i managed to muster out "please""It's about to get very exciting for you sweetheart" he nodded to the girl, she brought out an injection and shot it into my veins. I suddenly felt my head light. "See? it isn't so bad" He quickly took his hand off her neck which made me slump to the floor heavily, slowly gasping for air as my eyes rolled up"Keep an eye on her and call me once she starts talking" he said before leaving the room.Chapter SixThe Rescue"Dave can we speak to you for a moment" his superior asked "Of course sir" replied Dave"it was a false alarm, it wasn't him at the airport, it was just some guy that looks like him. Go home, we will let you know the next step""Shit, Sarah" he said remembering that she would still be waiting for him. He got home to find the door open. "Sarah..." he brought out his gun ready for action"Sarah are you there?" He went up to the bedroom, he still couldn't find her, he hurriedly went downstairs, took out his cell phone and called his boss."They took her" he said worried"Who took who?" the boss asked"They took Sarah" he said trying to hold back tears"Fuck! you think it was a diversion?" the boss asked"I don't know, could it be a coincidence? why would they waste time taking her instead of me, I gotta find her, it's all my fault, I should have been here""Hey, hey, It's not your fault, you didn't know what was going to happen, we will find her alright, she is
Chapter SevenRecoveryI was discharged after two week and Dave took me home. He carried me up to the room and laid me down slowly, he covered me with the sheet and made to leave but i held him back"Stay with me" i pleaded, my voice shaking"I'm here okay" replied Dave as he climbed into the bed with me"How are you feeling?" he asked"I'm okay now" she replied, she closed her eyes and dozed off. The next morning Dave brought her breakfast in bed"Honey get up and have something to eat so you can take your meds"He helped her sit up and then placed the tray over her legs"I made you bread and sauce with bacon, your favorite"I smiled and started eating, I was still in so much pain, every inch of my body pains me"I hate that they did this to you"I paused for a moment and turned to look at him"Why were they asking for you, what do they want with you" I asked "I don't know" he replied"I hissed, so we are still doing this, they said you took something from them, why won't you tell
Chapter EightLoveOne night Dave came back" Honey am back" he said expecting a reply, when he didn't get any, he made his way upstairs "where are you?" he asked He opened the door to find me dressed in a sexy night wear, sitting on the bed, legs apart waiting for him"I'm here love, waiting patiently for you""Whoa" was all he could say"Come on and make love to me" i said as i stood up and went to where he was standing"Why watch when you can touch" I took his hands and placed them on my boobs"Baby, i just got home, am tir...""Shhhh" i interrupted "touch me" i further said as i started to undress him and he let me. After he was undressed, now wearing only his boxers he said"Honey, I have a long day tomorrow and I need to get enough rest" I got angry and pushed him down on the bed, I climbed up and pulled his boxers down a little and touched his dick, it was already hard"If you won't do it then I will i said and before he could finish saying 'wait?' I sat on his dick, i mor
Chapter NineThe LureIt was ten in the morning, i have an appointment in a salon, i needed to get my hair done, so i prepared to go to the saloon, and after about five minutes walk from the house, i felt someone following me and then a voice spoke"I have been calling, you never answered'I recognized the voice and turned to look at him not really knowing how i feel about seeing him, memories of our time together came rushing in"I didn't answer because I didn't want to" i finally said"And why is that?""What are you doing here anyways, how do you know where I live? I asked covering his question"I just want to talk, explain things you know, so I just wanted to see you""Wanted to see me? You were one of them, the guys that took me" I said scared"No, no it was all a mix up" he said stepping forward which made me take a step backward"They mentioned your name, they said you were with them, they sent you after me""I did business with them, I didn't know what they were into I promise
Chapter TenCaught In The WebI struggled to turn around and he pushed me and pinned my back to the wall with one palm over my mouth"don't you dare make a sound" he warned, his eyes red with rage and evil that I couldn't help but wonder what I did to get him so pissed. "You think you can avoid me forever? I want you and I must have you" he said. "Please let me go" I managed to murmur with his palm over my mouth as hot tears rolled down my eyes, he cut off my top with the knife. He then quickly dropped the knife and carried me up with his free hand while the other one was still placed on my mouth. He penetrated me and I let out a closed scream, I tried to fight with my hands, scratching and hitting him, but my soft hands seems to be hitting a rock, I then managed to shift my mouth from his hand and bite him, he let out a groan and responded with a slap that almost made me lose consciousness. He then dragged me from the wall and put my head onto the foam and pressed it down while ho
"I think I saw you outside, sitting in your car" she saidDave moved inside the room, went over to the bedside and sat beside Sarah. The woman made to leave and then paused"You do know she was raped right?" She said"What?""When she ran out of the room, she ran into me and she looked very scared, one look at her and I knew what happened" she explainedDave could not believe his ears"I could have stopped her, then she wouldn't have to drive into an accident" she continued "so I feel responsible in a way, that's why am here. I heard about the accident from the news. Here this is his information, you can talk to the police and have him pay for what he did"Dave collected the paper"Emm, thank you for being here" Dave said still shocked.The woman nodded, turned and left.Dave started to beat himself up, he was right there and this happened, and when she came out, he thought that she was hurrying up to get back home, he was so angry he didn't go over there to confront her, if he did, he
Chapter 12Confrontation Three weeks after i was discharged from the hospital which now seems to be a causal place for me. Dave took me home, he made my favorite meal and i was so thankful for that, am not a fan of hospital meals. After eating, Dave wanted to talk."Hey, I want to talk about what happened" he said to me."I don't want to talk about it" I replied not looking at him.I started to go upstairs."I know you were raped" he saidI stopped and turned to look at him, "who told you that" I asked"Does it matter?" he asked back"Yes it does" I replied"Okay fine, there was a woman, she came to the hospital after the accident, she said she owns the bar and she met you the day it happened. What were you doing there and who was that man?" He asked looking at meI scoffed"And this is the right time to talk about this? I just got out of the hospital and all you can think of is to question me?" I asked"I just want to know what happened" he replied"Seems to me you already do" I sai
Ambushed"What Sarah, you're what?""I don't know, I..am not just feeling it anymore" I replied"Feeling what Sarah? the dinner or this marriage?"I don't know, I...I just need time to think I guess""What do you want to think about hmm?" He asked harshly"Everything Dave, it has been a lot going on" I replied with almost the same tone"You are the one that cheated, you know" he spat at me"Is that what this is about? me cheating?""I'm sorry, I lashed out" he apologized"No, no you didn't, it's been right there on your mind, it just came out" I said angry"Come on babe" he begged"I'm going to bed" I said before turning to leave"No, wait, wait, Sarah"He used his arm an scattered the dinner on the table breaking the plates and glasses. That made me turn around in shock."What do i have to do?" he asked"Nothing, you can't do anythng now, am trying, i have a lot on my mind and am trying to get it under control and am sorry i cheated on you, am so sorry, but you behaving this way and
Mia's PoVThe next morning I prepared and headed to the office, I had a plan and the plan was to expose my boss for who he truly is and what he has truly done. I know he is smart enough not to implicate himself so I have to be very crafty with this. I need to push the call ight buttons or all is lost. I don't have the evidence the P.I gave me with me anymore since they were confiscated by the police after Liam dragged me into his mess once again. I have to be really smart about this actually because I do not have any other plan, if this doesn't work, I don't know what next to do. I have just one shot and I plan on making good use of it. I took a taxi to the office, ones I entered the premises, I told my secretary to let Mr. Edward know am here and that I want to meet with him. After she made the call, she told me that he said to send me in, which I know he wouod,. He must have been curious as to what brought me back here with everything that is going on in my life right now which am
"He said one thing at a time and promised everything is going to be alright" I said sitting down on the couch and stretching out my legs. It's been a really long day and my legs are aching badly. A massage would be such a bad idea right now. I desperately need one"Ana, do you think am stupid?" I asked"What? No, not at all" she answered quickly and I smiled"You are a good friend and I know you love me but I need an honest answer this time please" I said to her"Mia, you are the smartest woman that I know, I don't think you are stupid, you just made some wrong choices that's all and hell, who doesn't at some point?" She said"I'm not so sure about the smart part" I said as I started to get emotional again and tears started to line up"Mia, opening your heart to someone doesn't make you stupid, you were in love, it's not something that you can control, we can't control who we love" she said in a sweet voice"I don't know, I feel really stupid, I feel so empty" I said sobbing"Hey stop
"Liam took me there to see a building, he wanted me to start up private practice there, to start my own firm in the middle of nowhere. His wife said some things about him being an isolator and a control freak and am seeing that now"This is bad Mia" she said taking a sip from her glass then her phone began to ring, it was an unknown number. She picked up"Hello, who is this?" She asked"Hi Ana, this is Liam" he replied "It's Liam" she said to me"What?" I asked coming closer and whispering to her to put it on speaker"How the hell did you get this number?" she asked him"I just spoke to my lawyer, we really need to talk to Mia, it's really important, is she there with you?" He asked ignoring Ana's question"No she is not, whatever you want to tell her, you can tell it to me, i will just pass it on later" she said to him"I know you don't know me like that but I promise I didn't do all these things am being charged for, am innocent. It's just my wife and her lawyer that is doing all th
Mia PoVWhen we got to Ana's place, I sat down like someone whom the body was present but the mind was absent. Ana went over to her fridge and got out a bottle of alcohol and two glass cups. We came over to the couch and dropped them on the table then poured out the drinks into the two cups, and slide one my way as she took up her own glass and drank from it, a slight frown appeared on her face as she did"Are you going to tell me what happened now?" She said taking another sip"He was laundering money and dealing with really dangerous people" I said still sitting still"What? Mia did you know about this?" She asked surprised"No, I did not. You know I can never involve myself in something like that. Why would you even ask that" I said looking at her"Then why are they in your house and taking all your stuff?" She asked still doubting that I didn't know anything at all about the crimes "He asked me to move some money into my account but that was to keep it away from his wife, not bec
Ana's PovI drove over to Mia's place after she said not to come pick her again, I waiting for over an hour but she didn't come in, so I went across the street to get dinner but when I came back up the door was unlocked and wide open and there were police all over the place tossing everything around and moving things. I was so shocked I thought I went to the wrong room, but looking inside I realized I didn't go to the wrong room, I am at the right room, all of Mia's properties were there and the police officers were just touching everything."What the heck? What is going on here?" I asked as one police officer rushed out to stop me from entering the premises "is Mia inside that house?" I asked the police officer but before he was able to respond, Mia showed up, she was coming from the stairs and has no idea about all of this."You again?" She said to the police officer that came out to stop me from entering the place, I guess they know each other or have met at least"What the hell is
"Good news, he accepted to let you meet with him, he should be here any second" he said and I breathed out in relief and my face brightened up"Thank you" I said happy he did me the favour"Sure" he said. Then the door opened up and another officer led Liam into the room in handcuffs. I should really get used to seeing him like this since it's now happening more often. After the other officer brought him in, he left the room"I will let you two talk" the nice officer said before leaving us both alone in the room and closing the door behind him"Hey, listen" Liam started but I could wait for him to talk not after what he put me through today and all the things I found out about him"What the fuck Liam" I said upset"Look, listen to me. It's my wife and her lawyer lover, they are the ones setting me up, they are the ones doing all this. I can tell you I didn't do anything. They had all this planned out" he said desperately"Do you know how worried I was, when those guys carried you, I
"Look the charges are all legit" he said apologetically but still confident"You should know that his wife is really on to him, she could have plotted all of this, believe that woman is crazy, I wouldn't put it pass her, maybe you should be focusing on her instead torturing me" I said upset"No, this isn't his wife. He has been doing this for a very long time now, even before he met her,tl this one is on him not her" he said"Okay I think am gonna go" I said getting off the car seat but he got off the driver's seat and stopped me "Please just calm down, I know this is a whole lot for you but being angry about it isn't going to make it go away and besides where are you going to go?" he said to me"No am not upset about what you are telling me, I guess am just angry at myself for not figuring it out on time. You think you know someone but–shit!" I said with a mixed feeling. This is just all too much"Hey listen, you know I really can drive you back to the city, instead of sitting here
Once he heard my reply, he parked by the side of the road and got down from his car"Hey, are you okay?" He said coming toward me, I became scared and alert I took some steps backwards to put a space between us at least to give me a headstart if something should happen. What is he is a psychopath or a kiddnapper or a killer? There were many things running through my mind and my insecurities set in. If anything should happen to me here, nobody will know because Liam drove me out here very early in the morning, I didn't get the chance to call or tell anybody where I was headed and now I am left here no phone, absolutely nothing on me but my cloth"Obviously not" I said still suspicious"Well, did your car break down somewhere? I can help you to fix it, I am not a mechanic but I know a few things" he said nicely. How is he so nice, it's awkward I thought to myself"No" I said keeping my eyes on him and studying him"In that case, can I give you a ride back to wherever?" He asked"Do you
It was a building, a complete building. I did not know if I show uod get excited or not. "Liam what is this?" I asked a little confused"It's a building, you can start your firm here. I mean it looks a little bit old, we can fix it up a bit" he said smiling. I stood there still confused, why would I want my firm an hour away the city? Was he joking and I specifically told him I don't want to go private"It fit the profile perfectly, it's spacious has all the equipments and fittings intact, you will love it, let's just take a look inside" he continued"Liam, we didn't talk about this, you didn't think this is something you should have mentioned to me before now? Instead of driving us out here this early?" I asked a little upset"Just wait a second okay, let's go take a look inside first, am sure you will love it" he said. I just felt that he wasn't hearing me"I'm a city girl, I love the city, I don't want to be here Liam, out alone here in the middle of nowhere?. All my friends are i
