It's Not Love

Being Captured

- Emma's POV -

It was all a lie. 

Every. 

Damn. 

Bit. 

Aaron told me he missed me, and Eric, I thought he had actually wanted a future with me, but he just wanted to use me to get to Aaron. About halfway through dinner I was fed up, with both of them, but I wasn't going to let Aaron kill me, he had already killed every part of me when we broke up I was not going to let him take my life. "So what was your plan then?" I spoke, and the hoarseness in my voice hurt but I didn't care, I was tired and not just needing sleep. He looked up at me in shock but kept his voice even when he spoke, "At the Architectural Ball I told you about, I was going to use you as bait to lure him out." I thought it over before speaking again, if I was going to be bait, it better be a worthy shot between his eyes. "Fine but I want the first shot." 

He dropped his fork, "What?" he said, "You heard me, you dragged me into your pissing contest full of rage and hate that you didn't think about anybody but yourself, and that makes you exactly like Aaron, so if you're going to kill him that's fine, but like I said I want the first shot." 

Over the next few days that's all we worked on, we moved into a hotel for a week, he bought clothes for me for the week, devising the plan, and blueprint layouts of the building which wasn't hard because Eric is an architect, sorry hitman, work on my shooting skills, which wasn't hard because I came from a long line of military personnel. I had even impressed Eric, but I was over it and him. I just wanted Aaron dead, and Eric gone. I had sent an email to everyone in the office and told everyone to take the week off with pay, I didn't want anyone getting hurt off of Eric's expense. Other than planning and shooting we didn't talk much, I could tell Eric was starving for a better conversation but I wouldn't give it to him. 

The night before the ball Eric had left to go have a drink in the bar downstairs, he had been gone for hours and I had debated on going to check on him, then decided fuck that. I dozed off before I was startled awake with a hand pressed down on my mouth and a gun to my forehead. "Hello honey." Aaron. All the training didn't compare to what actually would happen if he tries to kill me now. "Try to scream and I will strangle you." He turned on the bedside lamp, I was distorted for a minute, when my vision focused, I looked up to see the barrel of his gun pointed at me. "What?" I shouldn't have said this next part but oh well, "Strangle? Then what's the gun for? Looks?" he smirked at me with an evil grin I had never seen before which almost turned my blood cold, "Close," he said before raising the gun and whacking me on the head and I passed out.

When I came to my hands were tied behind my back and I was in a moving vehicle, I didn't know where the hell he was taking me, but it was coming up on morning and I was dreading every minute. He didn't cover my eyes, I guess because he thought I'd be knocked out longer. I looked around the trunk and the only thing I could make out was a small screwdriver, better than nothing. I made my way around the trunk and grabbed the screwdriver, I started moving the screwdriver to cut the rope, I didn't get very far before Aaron stopped the car and turned it off. I quickly put the screwdriver in the pocket of the pants I was wearing and thank God it had zippers. I was able to lay back down and shut my eyes before he opened the trunk. Time to play dead. 

He threw me over his shoulder and I popped my eyes open to scan my surroundings, hmm, I was expecting maybe an abandon warehouse, not something you find on AirBnB.com, it was a one story home, on the corner of a street, I looked at the street sign, Delta Ave., he walked through the house and it looked quite cute and cozy. He opened a door and we started heading downstairs, a basement how riveting. He pulled a chair out and set me down before putting my hands behind my back and tieing my ankles against the legs of the chair. When he slammed the door shut I suppose that was my cue to wake up, time to act scared and innocent.

"Aaron what the fuck is wrong with you?! I couldn't have a nice week away with my new man without you literally kidnapping me? I mean I knew you said to stay away from him but I didn't think you'd KIDNAP me over it!" I started crying, I wanted to sell it but at the same time I just wanted to cry, over and over I've been lied to, hung out to dry and now I'm going to die in the basement of an AirBnB. 

"Shhhh, it's okay Emma, I understand but you didn't listen so now you're going to do what I say," he pulled the same gun as before, "or else I will kill you."
