"Glad to see you safely arrive here, Ms Rutherford."
Mrs Wilson muttered as I saw her, coming out of the balcony and inside the room.
"Thanks for all the help, Mrs. Wilson."
I thanked her in my most sincere voice. I really was grateful for the help she was offering me.
"I should thank you instead of for willingly stepping inside as my prisoner till Mr Harrington comes to get you."
And the last thing I felt was a big hit on my head, clouding my vision to the darkness as I felt my body falling down, crashing on the floor.
_______________________________________________
A big headache accompanied my senses back to life as I groaned in pain, rolling my body to and fro.
I could not move freely. I could feel some kind of restraints on both my hands and legs, my back was aching from lying somewhere it was not comfortable.
Neither could I scream out as my voices came out in bits and pieces, crying out loud for help was not possible when I could feel a cloth tied around my mouth...I was hardly breathing.
"Ahhh....hmmm...ughhh...aghhhhh..."
Those were the only kind of sound I could make. My eyelids were still closed, still a shortage of energy to open them and see where I was.
My mouth felt so dry. I was thirsty and needed water to drink but how could I call out and ask for it...neither could I move myself up to look out for anything.
My heavy breathing echoed in the room, as I tried to gulp my own saliva down my desertified throat.
Sweat beads dancing on my forehead. It was so hot and I could feel myself losing my consciousness back to emptiness.
I tried very hard to keep it intact as I did not want to lie in here...where I had no idea yet for another how long I did not know either.
=========================================
"One more?"
He asked, his lips still pasted on her, squeezing her flesh on her rear side as she was pulling his hairs.
"Just this one..."
"Yeah..sure."
He nodded to whatever she said, not giving many heads as only he could feel that moment was her lips onto his.
Before he could press in for more, she pushed him away, laughing at the distorted and disappointed face he was making.
"You are going to be late for work."
She reminded him, standing up, straightening her shirt, he made a mess of. It was his shirt, to begin with anyway.
He groaned in annoyance as she was obviously right.
=========================================
I saw him going away...walking far from me as I kept looking at him.
My mind kept screaming to stop him, not let him go...my legs wanted to run on their own and hug his back to my front before he was out of sight.
On reaching the threshold of the door, he turned to look back at me, gave me a nice smile and then everything was white.
I tried to run after him but I could not move my body...I tried to call out for him but my voice was not audible even to myself.
"Ahhh...hmmm...Ughhh..."
I struggled...struggled with all my might to get my free and run after him...tears spurted out of my closed eyes and before I knew...the darkness loomed over me once again.
_______________________________________________
When I could open my eyes, as I could see someone in bits and pieces...I willed internally to open my eyelids more.
"Finally she is awake. About time you rise up Ms Rutherford."
I could recognise that voice. It was coming from afar. The bright rays of sunlight blinded my vision as I had to close my eyes as soon as I opened them.
"Give her some water. Do not untie her."
I heard some ruffling and rustling noises and when I opened my eyes, I saw the she-devil in bones and flesh making me cry out in anguish and deep anger.
I tried to move free, break out from these chains she had tied my body with. I glared at her as she eyed me amusingly, liking my state of helplessness.
I should have never believed a word coming out of that mouth. But as usual, I tended to realise things lately always when it was either a dead or alive situation.
"Struggling will only weaken your weak body more. Drink the water and quench your thirst as nobody will come to feed you again for another forty-eight-hour."
She said in her authoritative voice and that made me stop moving altogether when I saw a tray of food being bought to my face.
The workers...there was three of them. One untied the cloth around my mouth and bought the glass of water near my mouth.
I ignored all the voices inside my head asking to resist but my body needed it...needed the food and water that was offered to me very badly.
It was not the will of my mind or my heart anymore...my body itself was drowned to the nourishment being given to me.
So I bought my mouth forward, one of the guards helped me sit up and I leaned myself on the hard concrete wall as the drops of water touched my lips, quenching my deep thirst.
They helped me in eating and I could not control myself from gulping down everything they gave me with the speed of light.
Gone were the days where I used to be so picky and choosy about what to eat and whatnot.
Tables had turned and I had only one choice...to have what was offered to me. I had come to accept it...for the sake of survival.
Once I was fed, they let me drink one last time and I had drunk every last drop of water from the bottle, emptying it.
Throughout the entire time, she was eyeing my every move like a hawk and I could not do a thing about it.
"That\'s enough. Tie her up."
She ordered and before the man could come and enclose my mouth again, I spoke up.
"No...no no!!! Stop!! I will not make sounds...I will not try to escape...please stop!!!"
I screamed out. My body getting new energy from the food I just had.
Valeria stopped in her tracks and signalled her man to stop too. I was grateful for it only for a while.
"You have nowhere to escape either. You yourself know you can\'t until your rightful man, Josh Herrington comes to get you."
"Just kill me if you are going to hand me to him at the end."
I said after listening to what she had planned for me. Tears rolled down my dampened cheeks.
"That I will leave for Mr Harrington to decide. What he wants to do to you."
She replied, not getting affected by my pitty self...not even once.
"Why??"
I could only ask that. If I was going to be held my tormentor at the end, I deserved to know why she turned her back at me...why did she deceive me into believing her??
"What do you mean, why?"
"Why?? Why lie to me when you proposed to help me??"
"That was the only way, I could get you to come to me. And being a fool as you always were, you thought I will help you???"
She halted for a moment...stopped speaking and turned her back on me. I did not get my answers yet.
"I promised you...promised you that I will never return...then why did you deceive me??"
I was breathing heavily when I asked it out loud. She did not reply right away and kept her mouth shut, facing her back at me.
"I did what you asked me to...I blindly believed you...I crushed my heart into pieces to give you my promise....then WHY!!!! WHY!!!!"
I screamed my guts out at the end. I did not know why I did that but it was the anger of betrayal that was rising up my body slowly a d slowly. It did that.
"Because my goddamned nephew would come back to look out for you. "
Her reply took me off guards. She strode forward violently, outrage in her eyes as she leaned down to come face to face with me.
Our eyes stared deep into each other. I did not let my fear be shown to her. I could not let her see that with passing time, with every passing minute and second, I was losing hope for escaping myself.
"You...you witch!!! You wrapped him in your spell pretty good that he got the guts to argue and oppose me???"
She landed a tight slap on my right cheek making me fall to the other side. She held my hairs in a tight grasp, making me look up at her.
"No one takes him away from me!!"
