MARRY ME NOW

I fluttered my eyes trying to get them open. How long have I been asleep? It felt like days. After much effort in trying to get them opened. It finally responded.

My eyes opened to see those familiar haunting blue eyes. The painful memories came back, I looked at where I was. A bed. With him, what would I be doing here… With him?

Oh yeah, he did something to make me fall asleep. I was panicking. What if… What if…

“I didn’t do anything… Yet.” He said. I snapped out of my thought and jumped out of the bed. I looked for something to use to protect myself and possibly escape.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

But there was nothing around. He must have taken everything away. I’m sure he knew I was going to try and hit him with something.. I mean, who wouldn’t?

I looked down at my body to make sure I was well covered and thankfully, I was. This was the same clothing I wore last night.

But the room was different, very different. And something tells me we weren’t in that same house we were last night.

“Why are you doing this?! Let me go or I swear to God, I’m going to get you arrested!” I threatened.

He smirked and got up from the bed and started walking closer to me. Only then I realised he was topless.

I stepped backwards, looking for anything I could get my hands on to hit him. But there was nothing to use. “Stay away from me!” I said getting in defensive mode.

He didn’t stop walking closer so I did the next thing in my mind. I kicked him in the guts. He screamed out, crouching down. I used the opportunity and bolted towards the door.

I was right, this wasn’t the house we were in. It was a completely different house. I opened the doors to all the rooms, hoping Anne was in one of them safe.

“Anne!” I called repeatedly over and over again. I stopped searching when I saw her. I gulped knowing who she was with… Cedric. He held her with a gun pointed at her head.

He held that smirk on his face as his eyes bored into mine. I gave him pleading eyes asking him not to do it. “Mommy!” Anne called repeatedly.

“No, please Cedric, don’t do this… Please I beg of you!” I cried. He smirked harder.

“You know, you shouldn’t have done what you did. Don’t you think you should fix it?” He said taking the gun from Anne’s head to point it at his dick.

My eyes widened knowing what he meant. He has got to be kidding me. Don’t underestimate him, Tessa… If he’s capable of doing all this… He might also be capable of killing and raping.

“Please, Don’t harm my child… Please I beg of you.”

“Oh her?” He pointed the gun back toward Anne. I winced. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. I may consider sparing her only if you fix this,” He said again. “Just walk back into the room you came out from.” He continued.

My breathing became ragged. I just wanted to wake up and someone would say this was all a dream. I couldn’t believe this was actually happening.

Once again, I managed to put myself and my daughter in danger. “Plea-”

“Just fucking do it!” He snapped. Just do as he says… If you want your child safe. I want her safe. She does not deserve to be in this kind of danger. He gestured his gun for me to turn around and that was what I did.

I got back to the room I was in before biting my lip. I shouldn’t have come back here without knowing if Anne is safe or not… But this was the only way she would be safe… For now.

I was almost sure he wouldn’t harm her if I do what he asks… I stood there in the room quietly, thinking of what I had to do. I wish I had my phone.

This is a nightmare.

I couldn’t believe Cedric was the one doing all this. He has been acting all this while. How could I not know? How could I have been so naive in trusting him?

This wasn’t the first time I was asked these questions.

The door shutting got me out of my deep thoughts. My breath stopped in my throat when I saw him. “Please, tell me she’s okay.”

“She is. But not for long… I mean, she would be okay if you just do what I want..” He said. I didn’t like the way he said it.

The way he said it was only hinting at a seemingly obvious thing… Sex. He has to be kidding me, please tell me he was. I could always say no…

“From the face, you’re making, I’m guessing you already know what I mean..” No, no! I wasn’t going to do anything. If he’s capable of doing all these, then he must be very capable of rape.

“Stay away from me, yo-” I raised my hand to hit him but he was really quick to grab my hand and before I knew it, I was on the bed with him towering over me.

I winced. He smirked. “I have always wanted to do this since the day I met you, Tess. It took so much effort to keep myself from doing this… Don’t bother to fight it, it’s not like you haven’t fucked before. Just do it for your child’s safety.” He whispered.

I shook my head violently. “No, please no. Don’t do this please, I would do anything you want but not this. Please!”

“But this is what I want..” He whispered kissing my ear lobe. Only God knows how disgusted I was.

“Why are you doing this? What have I ever done to you? Just let me go, please.”

“No.” He snapped. “Now fix what you broke earlier.” He groaned. I burst out crying. I just couldn’t handle my emotions.

I was about to get raped. By someone, I didn’t think would harm me. This really should be a lesson for me. If only a miracle would happen to get me out of this trouble.

I felt the weight lift off my body. “Tess..” He whispered cupping my face with his hands. He cleaned the tears away. If he was going to do this, why didn’t just do it when I wasn’t awake? I mean, I didn’t want it, but to be awake, and experiencing this was torture.

I placed my hand against his chest to push him away, again, he was quick to grab my hand. “I might be able to hold myself now, but that doesn’t mean I would stop myself next time, Tess..”

She was beneath him, crying, squirming and whimpering. He wanted her so bad. He wanted to taste her so bad. But what was stopping him right now?

Her tears. Maybe he had really fallen for her. All he wanted to do at that moment was to wipe away her tears and tell her she is okay.

He has definitely gone soft because if he was his real self, he would have taken her when she was asleep. He would have also done it while she was awake, crying or not.

He clenched his jaw and lifted his body away from hers. “Tess..” He whispered cupping her face with his hands.

She placed her hand against his chest to push him away but he was quick to grab it. “I might be able to hold myself now, but that doesn’t mean I would stop myself next time, Tess..” He said and it was true.

He wasn’t sure if he could stop himself for long.

For long.. Haha, it’s not like she’s going to stay with you for ‘long’. There are going to find her very soon. What are you going to do then? His consciousness mocked.

He wasn’t planning on giving her up anytime soon, he wasn’t sure if he would be able to. There was no way anyone would be able to find them here.

What if someone finds out she’s missing? Wow, his mind hadn’t gone there.

He could always threaten her to keep her mouth shut and pretend she is happy. She would do anything for her child, right?

Definitely.

He got up from the bed and walked out of the room. She got up too, dashing towards the door. She needed to know if her baby is okay. And he didn’t say she should stay there.

The passageway was empty. He walks real fast. “Anne!” She called. She opened almost all the doors in the house, there was almost no hope of seeing Anne until a door opened. “Mommy..”

Anne came out rubbing her left eye. She must have been crying, Her face was so red. Tessa walked towards her, bending down, she hugged her like there was no tomorrow.

“Oh, my baby.” She whispered. She almost jumped when she heard a door slam shut. She got up, held her daughter’s hand and tried to find where the noise came from. Had he left the house?
