CARINA

35: HIS WRATH

Mackenzie's POV

SO I was surviving but barely. I gained many things in months and lost them all in just a day. I lost Dante, Elerra, Eleanor and Jay. I lost my happiness and my smile.

The only person I knew I hadn't lost was Ambra and I prayed everyday that she was doing okay. I didn't want her to leave me. She wasn't supposed to go through that

It was supposed to be me, why didn't they take me instead? I still couldn't remember what happened and it had been three days

I forced myself to get up from bed. I walked to the bathroom and the reflection I saw was an eyesore. The only time I was out of my room was when I was going to take my food orders at the door.

It now felt foreign to have no one to talk to, to be alone and to eat alone. There were days I didn't feel like eating anything and there were days I felt like eating a lot but I threw everything up in minutes

All the foods I ordered didn't taste like Jay's or Dan...

I closed my eyes to rid myself from thinking about him. I washed up and walked outside my room. I was going to prepare something for myself because I haven't had anything proper in days. I walked into the hall but froze when I saw the figure sitting in the couch. He sat comfortably and twirled a sharp object in his hand

"Wha..." I breathed heavily when he smiled

"Princess, I can see you missed me" he walked to me but I backed away "You look pretty as always. There's no way I can forget your face because I have your pictures plastered everywhere in my room"

"Don't—don't come close to me" I was shivering at this point. This all felt so familiar to me and it wasn't a good feeling

"Look at you giving me orders. Aren't you sexy?" He laughed. It was the kind of laughter that brought chills down your spine. The bad chills

"Please don't hurt me" I croaked

"No I won't hurt you...not this time. I missed you so much princess and I regret hitting you last time" he was standing in front of me now. He put the sharp object on the table beside us and raised his hands in a surrender gesture "See? I won't touch you princess. All you have to do is come with me today. I'm going to take care of you like I used to" he traced his fingers on my face and I looked behind him

If I ran to the door, he'd catch me even before I open it. I was against my bedroom's door so that looked to be the best option.

After thinking about it, I kneed him in his groin and took the sharp object, stabbing him in the chest. He groaned and moved away from me. I went into my room and locked the door

Phone! My phone

I searched frantically for it on my bed. I hadn't even touched it in all these three days so it had to be in the denim shorts I wore when I came here.

I moved to the laundry basket and looked for the shorts. I took my phone out and searched for Jay's contact but the call didn't go through

Internet

He said there might be a bad connection there. I was starting to get scared knowing I wasn't getting out of this. He started banging on my door and threatened me to come out

Before I could think about it, I called the other person I knew could help me. I dialed and it went through but he didn't answer. I tried that many more times but it was still the same thing so I made a voice note to him instead

The door broke and he came in with an angry look. His dress was soaking his blood "You shouldn't have done that princess" I secretly looked at my phone and pressed the send button but my phone went off before it could upload
