Xavier’s POVOne month laterI pushed at the rims of the bucket, trying to pull my head back up as the men held me underwater.I was pulled back up from the bucket and I coughed, choking on the water in my throat.I glared at Maxwell as he leaned against the wall, watching his men do his dirty work.I took a deep breath as they shoved my head back underwater and I remained calm, I wasn’t going to fucking drown.Not by these bastards. When I was pulled back up to air a man was handing Junior a couple of photos and whispering something to him as Junior smirked.The man was familiar. I knew him. It was Bryce. He worked as a spy for me but obviously was a fucking traitor.I was shoved back underwater and held down longer. My grip on the bucket tightened as my jaw clenched and I was pulled back up.“Thats enough, for now.“Junior commented and I was shoved back against the wall. The men moved the bucket and I glared at Junior as he smirked at me.“Your men, that you said were coming to save you, s
“We’re making a plan and getting everyone ready. We’re getting him back. We should be back by tonight.“He told me and I hugged him, tears rolling down my cheeks.They were bringing Xavier home. He would be home.“Go. Bring him home.“I whispered and John nodded, racing out of the room.“You need to start eating.“My mom told me and I nodded as she left the room.Xavier was finally coming home.I stepped out of the shower and looked over my body in the mirror. I didn’t have smooth curves anymore, I looked fragile and pointy.Most of my clothes were loose on me now and my hair was the only volumous thing left on me.I left the bathroom after wrapping a towel around myself and walked into the closet.I pulled on a tanktop and some pj pants I could tie, so they fit around my slim waist.I threw on a loose hoodie as my mom walked into my room with more food. Fruits, vegetables, foods with lots of protein and some with fat.She gave me a vitamin then made me sit down with her and eat.“The doctor thin
Xavier’s POVI woke up as Junior slowly got up from the corner, groaning and taking shaky breaths.He slowly limped to the door and banged on it, nervously glancing back at me as I sat up.“It’s me! Let me the fuck out of here! Hurry up!“He shouted hoarsley, hitting at the door harder. The door opened and he rushed out quickly, despite his injuries.The door heavily slammed shut behind him and I sighed, glancing at the pool of blood, from Junior, on the floor.I shook my head and leaned against the wall. Hopefully that little fucker would stay out of here for awhile.I ran my hand over my face then grabbed the gun from underneath my blanket.I felt better. I could get out of here today. I just needed to be uncuffed. I needed to be freed from the wall before I could do anything.But I also needed a plan. I didn’t know which property I was at, so I didn’t know the layout of the place.This place also didn’t seem that familiar so it’s a place I haven’t been to in awhile, or it’s a place my fat
Enid chose not to come help John save me, because she was sure he could do it on his own, and someone had to stay behind to make sure the estate was safe.“Theres something you should know before you see her.“John muttered about Adira, but I already saw her. Standing at the top of the staircase, looking down at me.“Adira.“I whispered, my eyes wandering over her. She raced down the stairs and I pushed myself away from John.She ran to me and I pulled her into my chest tightly, dropping to my knees. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I held her waist tightly.Tears rolled down my cheeks as I held her and she pulled back to look up at me.Adira looked sick. Her face was hollow and pale, she looked like the empty shell of my wife. She looked so small now, and frail.“Ada.“I whispered looking down at her, my eyebrows knotted together with concern, and she gave me a small smile.“I’m fine. I really am.“She told me and I shook my head, cupping her face.She was not fine. It didn’t take a doct
“I just thought we could since we haven’t in so long.“I explained and he sighed, sitting back.“We can’t.“He muttered and I sat up also, my shirt slightly sliding off my shoulder. His eyes followed the movement and I sighed.“We don’t have to, but why can’t we?“I replied and he shrugged. He grabbed my shirt and pulled it back over my bony shoulder, his eyes avoiding my body.I froze and gulped at the sudden thought in my head that popped up because of that simple action and I looked down.“Is it because of how I look?“I asked quietly and he froze. I mean I would understand if it was.I was too skinny now, I looked sick.“No, Adira, it’s not.“He replied and I slightly looked up at him.“You don’t have to lie to me. I know I look sickly and unattractive to you right now, but I want to know if thats why you don’t-“.“It’s not because of how you fucking look, Adira. I shouldn’t have to repeat that. I’m just scared to hurt you. You’re so small and fragile right now, I don’t want to hurt you.Don’t t
“You can only lock it from the inside.“He muttered and I hit the door.“Xavier! You open this fucking door or I swear to god.“I hissed and John’s eyes widened. I looked at the bottom of the door and could see a shadow moving around.“If you don’t open this door in three seconds I’m going to, I’m gonna, I’m gonna do whatever makes you angry!“I exclaimed and the shadow stopped moving.“Do you have to do this? He just got back,Adira.“John muttered and I glared at him.“He promised me he would take a break. I’m doing this for his own damn good.“I replied and he sighed.“You hear me?! Your own good!“I half shouted before kicking the door and walking away.“Go get her.“I heard Xavier suddenly say and my eye slightly twitched but I kept walking. I didn’t know where I was going, but I knew it wasn’t the room. I could hear John behind me and I rolled my eyes.“If you touch me I’m going to kick you.“I threatened and he stopped following me. I got to the end of the hallway and huffed. One of there rooms
Five weeks laterI smiled as the doctor looked me over, making sure I was good to go.“When did you start working out?“He asked, glancing at my toned limbs and stomach.“After I had gained back four pounds. I didn’t want to get fat, I wanted my normal body back, so I worked out a bit.“I replied and he slightly nodded.Xavier was furious the day he had discovered I had been working out on the down low, but it was mostly muscle building workouts, plus I didn’t want to get fat.We had argued and argued, about it and I didn’t care that he told me I had to stop, I kept going.He just gave up fighting me on it.Xavier has been taking work easy and slow, nothing major has happened so far.He’s healed up so he started working out himself. He still hasn’t talked about what happened to him while he was there though.I ask him now and then, but he won’t talk about it and I told him it wasn’t a good idea to keep himself bottled up.“Well, you’ve gained eight pounds, one more than what I had set out, which
The restaurant was very fancy and was full of, obviously rich, fancy people.“What can I get for you tonight?“A waitress asked Xavier and he grabbed my hand, pulling me closer to him.“I have a reservation, for the rooftop table.“He replied and she nodded, grabbing two menus.“Right this way, Mr. Medler.“She muttered and we followed her towards a spiraling staircase which she led us up on.She opened a heavy door at the top of the staircase and led us over to a single table on the rooftop.I walked over to the edge of the roof, guarded by railing and looked over at the city below us.It was beautiful.“C’mon, come sit down.“Xavier muttered grabbing my hand and I smiled. I walked over to the table as the waitress set down our menus and we sat down in our seats.We ordered our drinks and the waitress left us alone. I got back up and Xavier watched me walk back over to the edge.“It’s beautiful.“I whispered, looking over the city. Xavier stood next to me and wrapped his arm around me.“It is.“He
