Chapter 7: Keeping It From Them

Angeline P.O.V

"Carter, please. No. No. Don't do this, Carter! You don't have to do this!" I yelled as my hands twist and turn, I kick as hard as I can to loosen myself from the ropes. My hands and feet are already bleeding but I don't want him to die infront of me. We are in the middle of the deep forest, a wooden house that Carter own. Carter had his gun loaded, ready to shoot him.

"Shut up!" Carter ordered and point the gun towards me this time. My face was wet from the tears and sweat, dirt covered my face. Ethan, my boyfriend was infront of me. Almost unconscious from all the beating Carter gave him.

"Carter, don't kill her. Don't. Just kill me and set her free. I beg you," Ethan said weakly. He was lying on the floor. His neat black hair was in a mess and his shirt was thorn. Zack, Carter's assistant was standing in the corner, the darkness place underneath the dim light.

"No...no... Please Carter....Kill ME! Just kill ME!" I begged him. Carter let out a laugh. It sends shiver down my spin making me shake.

"You think I am stupid enough to fall into your tricks?" he flipped the table beside him in anger, making the wooden floor vibrate. "I am rich, good-looking and with all the money I have, the world can be at the bottom of my feet, sweetheart," He said and his hands run through his thick brown hair.

"Why did you choose this stupid," he said and kicked Ethan's stomach.

"Ethan!" I shouted his name at the first kick. Ethan grunted but Carter wasn't done with his sentence yet.

"Worthless," Carter kicked Ethan again.

"Jerk," he kicked one last time as Ethan spat out some blood from his mouth. I cried out loud.

"I said quiet! Or else I will blow his mind, right here, right now, right in front of you!" Carter silenced me. His gun pointed towards Ethan's head. Ethan had his eyes close and he wasn't moving. I almost thought he was gone but I saw his chest moved.

"Why are you doing this, Carter?" I tried to said out loud but whispered instead.

"You don't know?" Carter asked me. I can see the hurt in his eyes but it was soon replaced by coldness.

"Maybe you should be the one answering me. Tell me, why do you choose him? Why? I can give you more. What do you want? Uh? Diamond rings? Golden necklaces? A big house with swimming pools? I can give you that. Anything you ask for, babe. You want to be a pop-star right? I can do that. I have all the money and the priority to make your dream come true. You don't even need to work!" he said. I can feel the anger rising in me but I cannot scream and shout at him. He might kill Ethan then.

"I love you, Angeline. I want you to be mine. You are just so beautiful," he shakes his head.

"Carter, you are my friend. Thank you for being there for me but you will find someone better," I told him and his face reddens.

"Is it that hard to love me? I can make you become the top of the world do you know that? I love you so much that I even bought you that Red Ferrari and that diamond necklace that cost me 20000 dollars! He didn't even give you anything!" he pointed at Ethan. "I still have millions of dollars in the bank. Do you want them? Baby, I can give them all to you! Just love me!" he yelled. He came closer to me and bent down. Our face were inches away. I hold my breath at the closeness. It felt uncomfortable.

"You are the most beautiful creature," he whispered and smiled. But before I can tell him to go away. He close the gap between us and kissed me fiercely. I tried to move away but his hands was gripping my waist tightly. I struggled but it was useless.
