I was hurt that he had laughed at me and laughed at my words of referring to Xavier and Penelope as my parents. He didn't understand the Huxx family like I did. The Huxx's were the only ones who never laughed at me, they laughed with me, and sadly for Bishop, they did see me as family.
But most importantly Oden saw me as his perfect doll and for that, I was happy and satisfied. No matter how hard Bishop laughed, I always had this at the end of the day. I still had my Oden and my Oden was on his way to save me, no matter how many times Bishop would move us around. Oden will find me.
I stood up, still dressed in the clothes that I had changed into last night before I tried to go to sleep. I was too lazy to bath and too u
I pressed my fingernails into my palm in fear as I stood in the doorway of the elevator that led us directly to Bishop's mustang. I was prepared just moments before the elevator opened and I could see the outside world just outside the underground parking lot."Doll?" Bishop called me when he noticed that I hadn't moved. He stopped in his steps and looked back at me, "don't be scared," he paused as he started to walk towards me, "we'll do this together. The outside world can't hurt you unless you let it."He extended his hand for me to accept and I placed my hand in his and I let his hand wrap around mine. I let him lead me to his mustang that reminded me of a movie that I had watched of a racer and a girl who fell in love with each other in the end.I quickly hopped into the car when he opened the door for me and he jogged around it before he slid into the driver's seat. He leaned over and put my seat belt on for
I smiled at the realization that Oden is on his way and he's close. How do I know this? Because Bishop woke me up with a start and pointed a gun into my back, daring me to put up a fight as he led me into his car and began driving us away.I looked at the distant city, a smile on my face as my fingers held onto the glass. Oden cared, and that's all I cared about. I didn't care that Bishop had managed to get me away before Oden got to me. As long as Oden was looking for me, I knew that everything was going to work out.I was still Oden's perfect doll and he was coming for me.I looked on at the city until it became but a small dot in the distance and I couldn't see anything anymore. I finally took my face off the window and rested my head against the seat before I looked at Bishop's lap where his gun sat in between his thighs as he drove.He had his hands on the steering wheel but his face was p
He took us to one of his other homes. This one wasn't the opulent penthouse that we had been at before, but this was a beautiful, modern and fancy home. It wasn't anything like the Huxx's home, his was more modest. It only had four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms in a beautiful community where you could hear the screeches of kids and see dogs being taken for walks in the morning.I had been spending most of my time in my room, sitting on my bed with my knees to my chest as I looked outside the window, watching the groups of kids on their fancy skateboards and bikes, speed up and down the street.They served as my entertainment.The only time I saw Bishop was when I went down to eat and even then, most days he wasn't there. He left two guards with me to watch me the entire day when he wasn't here.I yawned as I stretched and stood up from the bed, deciding to eat because my stomach was cry
"Doll, wake up," I heard someone whisper over and over in my ear. I frowned, feeling frustrated because they were interrupting me from my dream world. That's where I went to escape. In my dream world, I was with Oden, sitting between his legs as he played with my hair and braided it. I groaned, but opened my eyes to look into Bishop's blue orbs."What's wrong?" I asked in a groggy voice, "do we have to leave again?" I couldn't think of any other reason that he could've disturbed my sleep for, except this."I know that it's late, but..." he paused, gesturing to the window behind him with his thumb, "it's raining.""It's raining?""Yes, it's raining.""Raining?""Yes, it's raining.""It's raining..."He chuckled, shaking his head, "let's go outside."I shot up from the bed and accepted his han
Sleep comes so much easier when you feel fulfilled. I felt like I had done everything that I had ever wanted to do and for that, I felt at peace with myself and the world around me. The world hadn't been as ugly as I thought that it would be. Well, maybe it was but the experience that I had was a pleasant one because even though I was outside, I was still kept in a safety blanket.I experienced all the things that girls in romantic movies experienced and it made me feel normal. Which is something I never thought myself to be. I mean, I was Oden's doll. There was nothing normal about that.I have always been special my entire life. It felt good to finally experience what everyone else experiences. It felt good to simply blend in with people and their experiences.Bishop had blessed me with a freedom that Oden would have never even blinked an eye at. Oden kept me tucked under his arm while Bishop seemed to go out of
There was always something wrong with lil' boy Oden, everyone knew he wasn't mentally stable- even his parents, but they didn't seek help, no, how could they when they had such a perfect baby? God had given them a baby with this gift and they were not about to change him just so that he could "fit in".He was their special little boy and they treated him as such. Oden got whatever he wanted. Even when he demanded for the insides of a lion, he got them, and even when he demanded for the insides of his very own nanny- he got them.Whatever he wanted, he got. They spoilt him rotten and would kill whoever even so much as passed a judging glance towards their family or most importantly, their youngest son.They loved to see that excited and happy look in his eyes, and one day when they got their hands on a gift they were sure Oden would love-
A loan shark, that's what Xavier Huxx was. He lent people money and expected ludicrous amounts in return, and fortunately for him, he was thriving. He had a beautiful wife, and three beautiful children."Where's my money, Kevin?" Xavier asked kindly. That's the thing about Xavier, he was very kind and understanding. He gave extensions when people asked because he understood that things could be a bit difficult at times.Said Kevin was standing in the middle of Xavier's living room where Xavier was casually lounging on his couches, enjoying a football game. Besides Kevin stood his girlfriend by the name of Naomi, and Xavier knew all about her but didn't say a word. He pretended as though he knew nothing about the girl standing beside the young boy."Uh," Kevin's voice cracked in nervousness as he looked down at his hands and he was shaking, "I...I've been trying, Xavier. I swear I have," Kevin was a good guy, well,
"How are you feeling today, doll?" Xavier asked me as we sat across from each other in his second private office where he and I would hold my therapy sessions.I sat in the chair, my knees together and my legs crossed at my ankles as I delicately smoothed my dress with my gloved hands, "I'm feeling better, Xavier," I smiled at him, "in fact, I was with Oden last night and we cuddled," I thought back to last night and how Oden held me and played with my hair as I slept on his chest."I'm glad. Has he hit you?" he asked me and I flashed back to the moment when Oden snapped at me months ago. I had accidently spilled hot tea on my hand, and Oden had gotten very upset with me.I shivered in fear, "I know it's only because he loves me," I told Xavier, calming myself down with the explanation that Xavier alw

He left me alone for the rest of the day and for that, I was glad. Either he left me alone or I was doing a good job at staying in my room the entire time and not leaving so I don't have to face him.I was hurt that he had laughed at me and laughed at my words of referring to Xavier and Penelope as my parents. He didn't understand the Huxx family like I did. The Huxx's were the only ones who never laughed at me, they laughed with me, and sadly for Bishop, they did see me as family.But most importantly Oden saw me as his perfect doll and for that, I was happy and satisfied.

I felt uncomfortable as I sat across from Bishop while we both silently ate our breakfast. I didn't think that he would ask me to join him for breakfast, I simply thought that I would be expected to stay in my room until I die. I was perfectly happy with that. I didn't want to be in the same room as him again and the room was my escape from my reality. Well, not much so...but I was away from Bishop which was more than enough for me.Yet here I was, sitting across him and eating pancakes for breakfast.I could feel his eyes on me so I concentrated even harder on my plate of food, trying to eat the food even though my body didn't want any of this food.I had no appetite and everything simply tasted like sand."So what does a doll like you do at the Huxx household?" he asked me, his thick accent breaking through the awkward silence. I had no choice but to answer him now and that was one thing that
I followed wordlessly behind Bishop as we walked through the beautiful modern and masculine apartment. I could tell that it was a penthouse because it had the best view of the city that we were in. Everywhere I looked, there was a view of the night life. It was truly beautiful and such a breath of fresh air from the warehouse that I was kept at just a few hours ago.I felt small compared to his figure. He was taller than Oden but Oden was built more muscular than him.I kept my arms wrapped around me as a form of comfort. It made me realize how alone I truly felt without Oden.I was still wearing my night dress but I had lost my slippers and was barefoot. My feet felt cold as I walked along the marble floors, feeling filthy because I smelled terrible. My night dress was dirty and creased, there was blood and skin beneath my nails from when I tried to scratch at the men who were taking me away from Oden.
I regained consciousness after some time, reality pulling me away from the comfort that sleep provided. My eyesight was blurry l, I was struggling to fight the fatigue and I couldn't understand what was going on. I didn't know where I was, who I was with or why I was here. I didn't even know how I got here. I let out a small groan of complaint as my head pounded from an unpleasant headache. I wanted to massage my temples but my hands were bound. I frowned as my vision cleared and I looked down to find myself in a wooden chair with my hands bound behind my back in an uncomfortable and painful manner. My feet were bound together with the same heavy rope that was practically digging into my skin. My head sharply turned as I looked around the room to find myself in a vacant room that must have been in some type of warehouse. I knew this because I've watched plenty of movies of people being
