All Chapters of Craving Mr. Cane: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“Don’t make this harder on yourself,” the man said. “You’re severely dehydrated.” He believes that I was ignoring him, the truth is that I’m so exhausted. I barely have the energy to fight back or antagonize him. I just don’t have it in me right now. I drifted in and out of sleep, worried and only just hanging by a thread. The situation is getting worse, he must have drugged me because my aching body has not recovered even slightly. I don’t recall that he hit me, not while I was conscious. I kept on wracking my brain if he did something, injected me with some sort of drug that weakens me. I don’t suppose getting pepper sprayed would cause this much drop in strength. It didn’t even sting that much when I woke up. What the hell did he do to me? I just feel so… so very sleepy. And kind of drunk, like I took some shots and drank a couple of beers. I don’t even know what I’m talking about, I don’t drink. I try to raise my hand, to speak but I just end up swaying back and slumping on the

I woke with a start, gasping and wondering where I was. The familiar darkness swiftly brought me back to my grim reality. I noticed a pinching on my arm and heaviness. I try to feel for it with my other hand but I can’t move it either. My restraints are tightened. I’m immobile. “Do not fuss, alright?” I registered the voice to my right. “It’s just an IV. Since you refuse to obey me, you’re dehydrated. You badly need the fluids.” He must be injecting something else in me. That’s why I’m so dizzy and weak. It’s getting worse by the day. I shake my arm in the hopes that it will come off. “Oh, you want me to make you stop?” I heard the smile in his voice. Instant fear. The outline of his body, the crushing weight on me is still fresh in my memory. I shudder at the thought of a repeat performance. I lay completely still. “Very good, baby. You’re learning. I’m so proud of you.” His words make me sick. Literally sick, I dry heave. “Oh hon, don’t worry you’ll get better soon,” he crooned

“What… What do you mean?” I knew what he meant, I just didn’t want to believe that he did not intend for me to leave this place… ever. “You’re welcome, baby. Anything for you,” he beamed. His boyish features shone through his twisted smile. This guy is delusional and very dangerous. I stare at his exposed tattoos. “Do you like it?” the tribal design started from his shoulders and went down his biceps. “And of course, I have you right here,” he smirked and slowly removed his tank top. He revealed more bulging muscles and right on his left chest, letters spelled out my name. I shivered at the extent of his lunacy. He mistook it as awe and his pleased grin stayed on his lips as he went on describing the room. “Took me a while to get everything as is,” he said. “Do you like the bed? I knew you’d be more comfortable if you saw it’s the same one we had sex on. Do you remember these?” he held out the pillows. “It’s the same ones from back then. I just got my dry cleaning and I’ll be abl

“He doesn’t care about you.” Parker’s voice refused to leave my mind the whole night. “You saw him, he didn’t even bother looking for you. Just went back to his life and on to a new girl.” It was incredibly painful seeing him live his life without a care in the world while I was out here suffering. But then again, could I even trust Parker? What’s the context of the video he showed me? If there’s anything I learned about Austin, he has reasons behind his every action. Parker though, should I trust him? The answer is no. Unlike Austin who has proven beyond his words and actions that his loyalty is with me. Parker is someone opposite. Austin may be brash and explosive, he can be a real asshole if he wants to be, but at the end of the day, he’s a good guy. I just miss him so much. I didn’t know how much I usually relied on his strength and stability. Just being in his presence makes me so much stronger and braver somehow. Like I can face anything if he’s with me. I can’t say the same

Austin“Thea, I need you to call Tommy downstairs. Tell him to round up Olivia’s friends. Whatever they’re doing, drop it. We have news.” “Any updates?” I called back the investigator. “Give me more details on this guy.” “I’ve sent over the info we have collated, Mr. Cane. Nothing that could point out his location. All files have still been wiped clean. But we’ve contacted our guys to dig deeper sir, and they are. It will just take a bit more time.” “We don’t have more time!” I shouted and hung up.I can’t believe this happened right under my fucking nose. He was in the same building! How could I have not noticed him?Tommy and Olivia’s friends rushed into my office with Althea leading them. I asked them to settle down for some news.“We need all the manpower we can get, the police and my detectives are on it but I all want you to know: Parker Simmons took her. An I.T. guy from this same building.” I clenched my fists.“You mean, he works here?” Rosie balked. “The same guy who s
