Before she could react, the car screeched to a halt, and Deshawn jumped out, grabbing her arm with a bruising grip. "Where you think you goin', bitch?" he snarled, his voice dripping with menace.
Dess struggled, trying to pull away, but Deshawn was too strong. "Let me go!" she screamed, panic and terror mixing in her voice. Deshawn slapped her hard, silencing her cries.
"You think you can run from me? You ain't goin' nowhere." He dragged her towards the car, throwing her into the backseat. Dess fought, kicking and screaming, but Deshawn's grip was unrelenting. He slammed the door shut, locking it from the outside.
"Shut the fuck up," he growled, getting back into the driver's seat. "You make one more sound, and I'll make you regret it." Dess's mind raced, fear and desperation clawing at her. She had to find a way to escape, to get to safety. But with Deshawn's threats echoing in her ears, she knew she had to be careful.
As the car sped through the streets, Dess tried to gather her thoughts. She had to stay calm, had to find a way to get a message to Jayda. Her phone was still in her pocket, but she couldn't risk Deshawn seeing her use it.
They drove for what felt like hours, the city lights blurring into a haze. Finally, Deshawn pulled into a deserted warehouse district, the buildings looming like dark sentinels. He parked the car and turned to her, his eyes cold and merciless.
"Get out," he ordered, yanking her out of the car. Dess stumbled, her legs weak and unsteady. She looked around, trying to find an escape route, but Deshawn's grip tightened, dragging her towards one of the warehouses.
"Please, Deshawn, let me go," she pleaded, her voice trembling. Deshawn laughed, a cruel, hollow sound. "You think I'm gonna let you go after all this? You mine, bitch. Always have been, always will be."
He shoved her inside the warehouse, slamming the door shut behind them. The air was cold and musty, the darkness oppressive. Dess's heart pounded in her chest, each beat a painful reminder of her fear.
Deshawn pushed her against a wall, his face inches from hers. "You thought you could get away from me? You thought Von could protect you?" He laughed again, his breath hot on her face. "He ain't nothin'. And you? You're just a dumb bitch who don't know her place."
Dess felt a surge of anger and defiance. "I'm not yours, Deshawn. I'll never be yours."
Deshawn's face twisted with rage. "Oh, you will be," he hissed, his hand wrapping around her throat. "I'll make sure of it."
Dess struggled to breathe, her vision blurring. She had to get away, had to find a way to escape. With a burst of adrenaline, she kicked out, catching Deshawn off guard. He stumbled back, his grip loosening just enough for her to break free.
She ran, her legs screaming in protest, her heart pounding in her chest. She had to find a way out, had to get to safety. The warehouse was a maze of dark corridors and empty rooms, each turn a desperate gamble.
Behind her, she could hear Deshawn's angry shouts, his footsteps echoing through the building.
"You can't run from me, bitch! I'll find you!" Dess's mind raced, fear and desperation driving her forward. She had to get out, had to find help.
As she rounded a corner, she saw a door ahead, its outline barely visible in the dim light. She sprinted towards it, praying it wasn't locked.
She reached the door and threw it open, the cold night air hitting her like a slap. She stumbled outside, her eyes scanning the area for any sign of help. The warehouse district was deserted, the streets empty.
Deshawn burst through the door behind her, his face a mask of fury. "You think you can get away from me?" he roared, his voice echoing off the buildings.
Dess ran, her legs burning with effort, her lungs gasping for air. She had to keep going, had to find a way to get to Jayda. She fumbled for her phone, her hands shaking as she dialed Jayda's number.
"Come on, pick up, pick up," she muttered, her voice trembling with fear.
Jayda's voice came on the line, filled with concern. "Dess? What's going on?" "Jayda, help! Deshawn-" Dess's voice broke off as Deshawn grabbed her from behind, yanking the phone out of her hand and throwing it to the ground.
"You ain't callin' nobody," he growled, dragging her towards a nearby alley.
Dess struggled, her mind racing. She had to find a way to escape, had to get away from him.
