Arranged Marriage To The Hot New Teacher

Chapter 19

((Lane's Point of View))


We opened the front door, surprised that it was unlocked.

"Wow, they really must be dumb asses." Don says.

I nod in agreement.

We make our way into the house. There was no sound coming. Almost creepy silent. We checked the entire first floor nothing.

"Maybe we just imagined it." I said.

Don starts to head upstairs. "I'm checking to make sure."

I sighed. There was nothing to do but follow him. But I was just as curious as he was to see if there really was the thing that made the scream in here.

All the doors were open. Then we went to the one at the end of the hallway.

It was locked.

"Maybe it's just a closet." I suggested.

Then we heard a muffled cry. "Help!"

"Someone's in there." Don says. He pulls out a lock picking kit that I never knew he had. Which should surprise me more than it did.

But it didn't.

The door opens to reveal a black haired girl laying on the bed. Or rather chained to it. She wore rags that barely clothes her tiny undercared for body. She was bruised and bloodied and dirty.

She looked at us terrified.

"Who are you?" I asked.

((Desi's Point of View))


The door opened. I was terrified. They couldn't be back this early.

It wasn't them. Instead two teenage guys, who had to be twins, looked at me.

"Who are you?" one of them asks me.

"I-I-I'm Desi. Who are you?" I ask.

"I'm Don and that's Lane." the one that opened the door said.

"Have you come to rescue me?"

It was false hope. And it was quite pathetic. But it was the only thing I had.

"Yes." Lane said. "Desi.......I've heard that name before. What's your full name?"

"Desiray Riley." I replied as Don picked my chains open.

Don stopped picking and stared at me wide-eyed. "You're that girl that is missing. The one engaged to that teacher."

I nodded. "That would be me."

"You've been gone for a month! You've been kept here this entire time?"

"Yeah. In the basement and in this room." I shuddered. "It was all horrible."

Lane takes off his shirt and hands it to me. "Wear this. Can you walk?"

I stood on unsteady knees and collapsed to the ground instantly. "Haven't had good balence in a couple of days."

"It's all right," he replies. "I'll carry you." He picks me up bridal style.

"Let's get out of here before they come back." I said.

They nodded and we headed downstairs.

This was it I was finally going to be free. I was going to be back in Hayden's arms. I was going to feel his kisses against my skin. He was going to be able to tell me everything would be all right.

Five steps away from the door.

Five steps away from freedom.

"Where do you think your going?" asked a voice from behind us.

We all froze. We turned to see Fay and the other two standing there, staring at us arms crossed.

All hope vanished.
