Chapter Two

I was anxious, that could be an understatement because I’m trying not to scream or do anything that’ll call attention to myself.

I could feel my sweats dripping all the way from my head and my heart was beating faster. I was scared, “Could William know about this?”

Thankfully, no one was in sight, I took a breathe of relief trying to calm myself down with the fact no one was in sight. I could remember vividly, William had once warned me never to come near this part of the house.

Was this the reason?

Dodging the corpse, I walked further into the room as I caught a glimpse of a figure standing at the end of the room. His back was bare as he was busy cutting something on the table. As a drew closer, an evil smirk could be seen at the corner of his mouth.

Cold sweats dropped down my spine, this is devilish, I thought. The room was giving an ultimately fetish vibe. I realized it was him, maybe because I was too scared and tht was why I couldn’t recognize him at first.

He turned to the side to pick up something and I tilted a little to hide myself at the corner. My eyes caught a glimpse of another body on the table with mutilated marks all over.

William was indeed a beast. A heavy metal fell beside his legs almost hurting him and he flew up in anger and continued stabbing the body on the table.

“You die, die, die, die, die and dieeeeee.” He screamed out while continuously stabbing the lady without stopping.

“Holy shit” I muttered under my breathe covering my mouth in shock, my hands was shaking and I don’t think I’ll be able to control myself more further.

He rushed to bring his phone out of his pocket. A name popped on the screen. The sound of laughter filled the room before he picked it up.

“Yes Mabel?”

Mabel? That was his secretary. I had always hated the thought of her being close to him and she was always all dovey on him, I once warned her to stay away from my husband and know her limit but she only smirk and left without any response.

“Yes, she's still in the house”

The malicious tone in his voice made me instinctively aware that they were talking about me.

“She had no clue and think I’m only relaxing. Hee dying won’t make any difference, we could announce her death as a murder, someone coming to attack me in my home but killed my wife instead.” I gasped at his resort.

I strained my ears to hear more of what they were discussing. I know I should be panicking right now but I still need to have a stand if I want to try and save myself.

“In a few days we'll have to take her out, she's the next target. I can't wait for her to be gone, shes too weak.”

“Oh, my sweetheart, we just have to put up with her for few days.”

My eyes widened in shock. I couldn't believe they were still talking about me. Or was I mistaken? My tears rolling down my eyes in pain.

My head was pounding at the sudden revelation I just came across but I still need to leave , and I’ll have to run away from this he’ll soon.

My heart pounded against my chest as more tears started to roll down my cheeks and bit my lips to stop myself from crying out aloud. For five years, I had been living with a monster in human form. I didn't ever think that William will try to kill me one day.

My entire body shook as I tried moving back without him noticing but I ended up falling on a bucket which was full of blood

“Oh my gosh, Elena you are so dead.” I screamed inside myself. What to do? What to do?

“Hold on Mabel, I will call you back”.

I froze at that point. I needed to do something fast, William was already walking towards my direction. I should distract him. A medium sized stone glared at me as if waiting to be used.

I picked up the stone with trembling hands and threw it in the opposite direction. I noticed he stopped in his tracks to listen again at where the sound was coming from. After what looked like eternity. He followed the bait.

My heart was in my mouth now, I gradually tried lifting myself from the bucket without making any sound and started gliding back towards the door which was still a bit far away.

“Elena?” I heard him called out my name.

“What are you doing here?”

I froze in my tracks as I heard the words behind me. I made a sharp turn, whimpering like a confused mouse. I could see his face clearly now, surprise written all over it. I knew I was already in trouble, I had been caught by my murderer husband.

“I—t’s not w—hat you think.” I stuttered, whispering in fear as a sinister smile appeared on his face.

“Oh come on my darling wife, you shouldn't be out here by this time, come here baby.” He said gesturing with his hands as he call over for me.

I shook my head vigorously, as I mirrored his movements backwards.

“D–on't worry a–about me William, I'll just leave and pretend that i didn't see anything.” I managed to say trying to act like I wasn’t scared of him.

“Don't be scared baby, I'd never do anything to hurt you. besides, I didn't know what came over me. These women were just standing in my way, it isn't intentional. They just sucks.” he said coming closer.

“I know William, but I'll prefer if you just let me go upstairs, I’m feeling more sleepy, I sleep walk over here and I didn’t know what even happened here” I laughed nervously, I knew I was speaking gilbrish and my nervousness wasn’t helping.

He turned his face utter frustration. As he jerked towards my direction hurriedly, I tried running but he was already in front of me, he jerked my wrist tightly which hurt a lot.

“Leave me alone WIlliam, please just let me go, I promise not to expose you to anyone please.” I cried in pain, all I could think of was how to get out of here.

“I should leave you alone? Are you sure about that?” A grin made a way to his face, why was on his mind is what I can’t comprehend.

“Yes, leave me alone please, I promise to be more obedient and don’t annoy you please. ” He released his grip from my wrist, since it came unaware, I fell on my butt and winced in pain.

He grabbed my hair pulling me towards the table which he used in killing the other girl he was stabbing.

I knew I was done for and started screaming for help. The room sounded like it was soundproof and no one would ever hear me.

William was well prepared for this murder mission. What did all these women ever do to him?

What did I ever done to him? My tears were running out hot, I pleaded him to let me go as I tried freeing myself from him, my hair was hurting from the grip of his hold on me.

What will be my fate? I know not.

I shook my head using my hand trying to remove his hold as he threw me on the table roughly, cold sweats ran down my spine and i had began to tremble.

I got bruises on my legs and hands, they were painful and my head was starting to spin, I felt nauseous.

Yes, I was pregnant with his baby, three months pregnant and he knew about it. He doesn’t seem like he was ready but he was the happiest the day I announced to him.

My baby bump was just starting to show, I held onto my tummy tightly and look up at him, he was staring at me all smiley.

“You know, for some reasons, you always make everything easier for me from the beginning. Getting pregnant with a baby, which made my adventure grew more, how will it feel killing a pregnant lady.” He laughed like a maniac he was.

“Simple, I had found out the right way but you walked into your death trap yourself. You were always clumsy but I didn’t expect you to be so gullible.”

He flipped on to another table, and pinned me to it with some belts. He covered my mouth with a tape. The previously mutilated lady was on already in one corner.

“Funiest thing is, I used to think of you as weak and fragile Elena until today. I mean you completely took me unaware, were you trying to act brave and run away without me knowing, wow, our little Elena has grown, hasn’t she?”

My body shook vigorously and looked at him pleadingly to let me go but he obviously wasn't going to heed anything I say now.

He picked up a very sharp long knife and swirled round the table. He seemed to be enjoying himself with all the drama. I tried creeing myself from the hold, “It’s useless.” He said.

“Let me tell you a secret.” He was still moving around me and finally stopped beside me taking my hand, I took a breathe in, I was so afraid and all he could think of was this.

He was holding a two side knife which looked like a scissors in his left hand. And was clicking it, I was scared no doubt.

“I came to your family for a deal. What’s the deal? I needed them to sell their eldest daughter to me and they decided to sell you to me for money worth making them billionaire forever” I flinched, and he looked at me using the sharpen two faced knife to remove one nail from my thumb.

I screamed in agony, my eyes were burning, tears coming out while I tried to muffled a word but it was futile.

“Oh! you don't believe me? I’ll explain.”

“Your parents faked your mother's detainment only so that you could agree to my proposal or why else do you think a gullible daughter like you would agree to get married to me.” He threw his head back in laughter like a demon.

“I know your parents told you that they borrowed the money from me to save their company from debt and were going to pay back right?”. His face changed, he was right but I still don’t want to believe the same family I loved so much would do that to me, I was in immense pain, immense pain.

“But now, if I don't get my money, I am going to kill you all.” The beast in him came out more visibly now. He removed the second nail too and I screamed again.

“Please, William please.” I managed to mumble. The torture hurt badly, it was crazy ahd I was helplessly crying because there was no way I could escape or ask for help.

How did I end up falling in love with this devil?

“Don't worry Elena, it would not be so painful, I can guarantee that, it doesn’t really hurt, does it?” He looked at me and wiped my already filled eyes.

He removed two nails in my hand again. I screamed in agony as the nails went down one by one on the floor, fresh blood oozed from the wound. I was breathing heavily now. Satisfaction filled his face as he watched me crying helplessly.

I was carrying the child of this beast, couldn’t he just be good to me and look at me straight areme because of his child that I’m carrying.

Blood splattered from my abdomen as he stucked his knife into my belly and out almost immediately, forcing me to gasp in utter shock and pain.

My cut finger nails flapped on the table while the other palm hit the table vigorously. The pain becoming intensifying with each passing minute.

Blood involuntarily pumping out of my mouth and seeping through the tape. He grinned widely as I was in terrible pain. I couldn't see clearly anymore as the blood shot through my eyes.

My hands were growing limp, this was obviously the end for me. I looked at William with my bloodshot eyes, I will never forgive him. I will get revenge even if I was reborn multiple times as I felt life seep slowly through me.

I closed my eyes as I fade into the darkness.

》June 1st 2017

I shut my eyes as the light was too bright at first. I had just left a dark place. What was happening? Did someone rescue me? I looked at my hands, they were whole. It was not even cut. No pain anywhere. Everything felt surreal. I mu

st be in heaven, but no, I got off the bed quickly and looked round.

This used to be my room before I got married to that beast. How come I am here?
