ODDS OF LOVE SEASON TWELVE

Episode 60

" You didn't eat," Dave said with a dramatic sigh as he looked at the cold breakfast and lunch plates stacked on the nightstand beside the bed where Joe Jacobs lay still handcuffed. " Oh well. At least you took your antibiotics. Wouldn't want you to get sick. I was actually a little worried when you got stabbed. Too bad it wasn't your mute little man Winnie. "

Joe just stared at him. " Let me go. I want to go home. I need to see my husband. "

Dave laughed. " No. Stop asking me that. You are not going anywhere until you agree to my terms. I want you to text Winnie and tell him it's over. That you want him out of your house. That you choose me. "

Joe laughed harshly. " That won't happen. I love Winston. He loves me. He needs me. Please..... Please.... Let me go home to him. I'll give you anything you want. Any amount of money. Winston can't work right now so.... I'll make you the assistant manager at the club. Please. "

His blue eyes were desperately pleading with Dave who just smiled at him coldly and with exasperation.

Dave leaned over Joe with his breath gently cascading over the man's face. He tenderly stroked Joe's forehead and Joe flinched as though he had just been hit.

" No. Again no. Why would I want crumbs when I could have it all ? Do what I ask or...... or ..... I will kill him. "

" What? ," Joe asked in astonishment as he tried to pull his hand out of the cuff attached to the bed. " Don't you dare..... Don't you touch one damn hair on his head. If you try to hurt him I will kill you. "

Dave's eyes glimmered at him with amusement. " How will you do that? You can't even escape now. Oh yes. I will kill him. I'll break into the house and I'll slit his throat. Should be easy. He can't even talk. Or scream. It's your choice, lover. I get everything I want or little Winnie dies. Then again maybe you don't love him as much as you say you do. "

Dave picked up Joe's cell phone and dangled it in front of his devastated eyes. " What's it going to be, Joe Jacobs ? "

Joe begged," Please. Don't make me do this. Don't hurt him. I'll give you anything.... Anything......"

Joe swallowed hard. " I'll fuck you. Just please don't hurt Winston. "
