A year with my kidnapper

9

When Xavier got back to his office he sent out a mass reply to the donation emails he had received

'Dear friends,

As I appreciate all the generous donations there seems to be an issue from last night's banquet that I need to address. Although something happened unplanned, the parties that were involved didn't receive any injuries as a result.

That being said I would recommend the donations go toward either Ember's bakery or to this charity.

As always I appreciate everyone coming last night.'

He sent another email after that one to some of his partners and special people he knows.

'I have a request regarding a certain situation that arose last night at my Christmas banquet.

As of right now an employee of mine, Austin Morris, is currently being held. In a few hours, he will be let go and unemployed or associated with the Black Diamond company. What I want you to do is spread that Austin Morris is banned from anyone and anything to do with Black Diamond and their partners.

I want this man to be publicly shunned for the incident he caused. Do whatever means necessary to ensure this man's life is as difficult as it possibly could be.

Although I can only request this, you all are the ones who choose whether to accept or deny the request. As always have a good rest of your day'

After sending that out Xavier promptly went down to the second level. Things have been quieter than normal since the event. The atmosphere underground was so thick right now that you could cut it with a butter knife. Even though Austin has limited contact with people right now that doesn't quiet the rage everyone is feeling toward him. As Xavier's men are ready to take a swing at Austin at any time as they've all adored Ember since the first day. 

Walking down the hallway he went to the basement, opening the door there was Austin. Not only were his hands chained to the cage's bars but his legs were tied, and his mouth taped and muzzled.

Walking in Xavier eyed the three guards standing there to leave. Acknowledging him they all started out of the room as Xavier grabbed a metal chair that was close by and straddled it.

"Alright here's what's about to go down. You are going to leave the premises without a problem. Everything you've made so far is being retracted as we speak. You will not speak the name of anyone here or about anything you've done here. Unless you want to be thrown into the Atlantic in a body bag. Do you understand?" Austin mumbled something "Oh yeah removing those would help, wouldn't it?" Standing up he unlocked the cage and went inside. He stood in front of Austin for a moment, as an adrenaline rush started being this close to Austin. He cracked his neck side to side while rolling his wrist. Xavier removed the muzzle. Right after Austin received a full-force fist to the cheek with a sickening audible crack before Xavier forcefully tore the tape off. Grabbing his jaw Xaiver lifted Austin toward him "Understand?"

"Yes sir" Austin responded Xavier let go of his jaw shortly afterward

"Good" he put the tape back "You can come in now!" as he announced that the guys who had previously walked out came back standing in their positions around the cage. Austin's face scrunched with confusion as Xavier didn't leave the cage but the door was closed with the others surrounding it. "Oh did I not mention, as punishment for the stunt you tried to pull I'm giving everyone in the complex a wack at you? Unfortunately for them, they will only receive one minute to do what they want but for me" he smirked taking his shirt off and exposing his chest "I get unlimited time" Austin's face was shocked upon hearing this. He received another punch to the face. Xavier got one of the others to unchain Austin and rechain him so he was standing up instead of sitting down before going ballistic.
