Innocence Stolen

2.3

It's been a week since Priya was kidnapped. Theodore hasn't come to her room except to give her food. She would wake up, eat the usual slimy oatmeal, work on an escape plan that would never work, eat lunch, take a shower, do some writing, eat dinner and then sleep. That was her life and she was fine as long as she didn't have to face Theodore. However, for her plan to seduce Theodore to come to fruition, she had to be around Theodore.

Later that night, Theodore came in with her dinner. Chicken pot pie with a side of fries. Priya was sick of this plain white people's food, she wanted something spicy and Indian. Something with flavor and spice.

"Theodore, can I make dinner for once? Your cooking is pretty trash." Priya asked, walking closer to him. She took a deep breath and put her brave mask on. She places her hands on his chest and looked into his eyes.

"You know, a couple spends time together, especially when they are about to get married. It seems like you don't love me anymore. I've learned to respect and appreciate you, but it seems like you've lost feelings for me." she said, quietly against his chest. Priya was shook by how sturdy this man was. He wasn't as built as Adrian but Theodore was definitely fit and lean. It probably was all the oatmeal he was eating. She also lost some weight from the bland diet he was feeding her.

"I had to isolate you for a while, just to help you get adjusted," he said, wrapping his arms around her. He missed her. Theodore couldn't bear looking at her after slapping her face. He was too ashamed, but it seems like she has forgiven him.

She pulled away. "Well I'm adjusted now, let's go to the kitchen. I'm hungry." she said.

Adrian and Michael collected enough evidence to file a case against Theodore

Flashback

Adrian and Michael broke into Theodore's home, the scent of a rotting body filled the air.

"Man, this house stinks. Definitely a body." Michael said, looking around the home. The home was very old-fashioned and was a replica of his grandmother's house. He went into the first room on the right and found a body.

"Adrian, a body!" Michael shouted. Adrian rushed to the room to find a very old lady dead on her bed. From the outside, it seemed like natural cause. No bullet or stab wounds, but they would send the body to the lab just in case.

"It's probably the mother or something. It's not her." Michael said, taking a picture for evidence. Adrian nodded in relief, happy that it wasn't Priya's body on the bed. The pair make their way upstairs and look at each room.

They were all clear except for one, the master bedroom.

"This is probably the guy's room. I want every solid piece of evidence in the bag." he told Michael.

"Yessir!"

It didn't take long to find Theodore's secret hidden obsession in the closet.

"Holy shit!" Michael whispered. Plastered on the wall were naked pictures of Priya, clearly taken without her consent or even her knowledge.

"Yo, this guy is pretty crazy. We need to find him soon." Michael said, not removing his eyes from the wall. Adrian ran up to him, and slowly turned to the wall he was looking at. He was sick to the stomach.

He ran to the bathroom and began to puke contents of his breakfast. He saw these kinds of things at work all the time, but when it is someone that you love very much, everything changes. Priya was in danger, she was somewhere alone with this delusional guy that could hurt her every way known to mankind. He was a stalker. He clearly had some dark obsession towards Priya and he needed to save her.
