It's been two days and things have been getting intense with Xavier, he always manages to ignore me and so do I..
We often collide at the kitchen while drinking water or whatsoever but I pull of by looking elsewhere.. it's been eating me alive because I don't think I can bear the silence.. I need to know what's going on.
How can I sit back and just wait till my kidnapper hands me over to somewhere else?
Today is the day I call my family and I have no clue what to talk to them. What did Xavier tell them?
Yesterday night I mistakenly overheard Xavier on the phone, he was talking to someone and by the way of it I could figure out it's about me.
Yesterday...
Walking into the kitchen I hear some shuffling in the corner of the room beside Xavier's office. Curiosity creeps inside me as I tip toe towards the area when I realise it's Xavier on the phone. Deciding to give him his privacy I turn but halt when I hear.
"She is getting suspicious day by day and Watson is also getting eager day by day it's no time until he finds out what I am up to.. what do you say I should do?"
After a series of hmms he hangs up the phone and I open my shoes as I pace towards my room.

Present day..
Slurping down the orange juice I kept the glass in the dishwasher as I head towards the sofa.
Yesterday me and Flo had a long conversation and I ended up sleeping in her room. We talked about how she got into criminal world and how much she loved it.
It was weird and fascinating at the same time listening to her. I too talked about many stuff.
As I switch the television on my mind wandered off to the conversation Xavier was having.
What did he means by that? And who is Watson? The name sounds awfully familiar. It's like in the back of my head but I can't seem to recall it.
Watson Watson I feel like I know this person. Urgh it's in the tip of my tongue.
As I lie my head down I see Flo jumping in the couch almost breaking the spring. "Flo how many times have I told you not to do that? The elastic limit of this couch is long gone by your jumping jacks"
She dismisses me off with her hand while saying " oh shush you and Xavier are the same always lecturing me" at the mention of him my face automatically slumps down and she notices it.
"I am sorry Eliza I wish I could help you but truth be told I can't" she gives a sympathetic smile before heading towards her room.
That's it. I've had enough of it I am going to do something. I can stupidly play damsel in distress and wait for a Prince Charming to appear out of no where.
I've got to be my own charming to get out of this dilemma.
Storming off to Flo's room I entered without knocking. Who gives a crap about manners when you are kidnapped?
"Eliza is everything alright?"
"No Florence I can't sit and pretend life is great when I am being held hostage please I know you can't help me escape atleast try to favour in my side please.. if I was in your position I would have done something then to sit and watch someone's life being tossed"
Completing my monologue I sit down in the chair while she processes my words.
"Eliza there's nothing I could tell you that would help you escape. Trust me"
Huffing I was about to exit the door when she stopped me.
"I might be a terrible friend to Xavier but who cares screw him. You're right I can't sit and watch such injustice happening to someone like you"
"So what do you suggest?"
She closes the door and says "if you want to get back at Xavier you have to attack him emotionally.. that's your weapon"
"And in what context exactly?" I ask her sitting down to which she says "I am afraid I can't speak any further but all I'll tell you is you have to attack him in his personal space and when he is on the verge of breaking down you try your luck"
"Okay" I mutter and exit the door.

The whole evening I've been trying to figure out what she meant and the only emotional weak point I came up with is his family.
I am pretty sure if I verbally talk ill about his family I'll get him all riled up. But is that really what I want?
Whatever it is, the last thing I will care about right now is my morals. If he can make me feel mistreated then so can I.
