Holding the diploma in my hand, I felt empowered as if I held the deed to Earth in my grasp. As if the world was just a blimp on my map of life and I could overcome anything-even a narcissistic dominant billionaire with a thirst for control. My mother arranged for a private party back at my apartment in which I was drug to by Lisa who made a surprising visit as she was still coping with the withdraw of her drug fixes.

I was congratulated for hours before the front door came open and their came Vincent. All the women in the room stopped and drooled over him as I stood by Chase, gripping his hand tight before he too saw the dark man and gave me a kiss on my cheek. He reassured me everything would be alright before he took a glass in his grasp. Hitting a fork against it, he cleared his throat before all eyes were on him. Especially Vincent's.

"I would like everybody's attention for a moment. As you know, this woman standing before us has worked her last four years of her life to obtain what she did today. I could not be any prouder of her than I am and ask that you all join me in a toast to Adelaide Gerharrd, my girlfriend." Most the room applauded before my gaze shifted to Vincent and I saw his jaw clench and his eyes fixate on Chase. He had a look similar to a creature before a kill-deadly and unsuspecting. Everyone took a drink before Chase gave me a sweet kiss upon the lips and everyone applauded. My mother especially.

After being asked the typical questions 'how did it happen', 'how long has it been going on', and 'when's the baby due', I was taken aside by Lisa who had her typical interrogation. I explained the events before the graduation and she even began to blush before she gave me a portion of information herself. Holding out her left hand, a giant rock laid on her ring finger as she squealed before jumping up and down.

"After a year, he finally asked!"

"I'm so happy for you two!" I said unsure who she was engaged too exactly as she had three lovers since leaving rehab.

"It won't be awkward though will it? Between you and Vincent?"

"Why would it be?"

"Because the groom is Jason..."

"Oh-no." I said quick covering my tracks. "Of course not. Him and I have nothing between us. I am finally happy and decided I want to be with Chase." I said with a large smile before she hugged me. Her lips went close to my ear.

"Whose better? I gotta know..." She said before pulling back to see my response. I looked to Chase before blushing and she giggled before dismissing herself from the party as she had to be up early for a court case with Jason-her lawyer/lover/fiancee. As I turned to reenter the apartment, my hand was yanked as I tried to flea, I found it was Vincent. Before I knew it, I was in his car and we were on the highway driving ninety.

Dodging cars who were less than happy at his reckless driving, he left the car quiet as nightfall made it difficult to see, I was terrified. Flashes of my father's car accident flooded my head as I begged him to slow down. Every time I showed fear, he would press on the gas harder.

"So it's official then?" He asked finally breaking the silence after minutes of dangerous silence. "You and the professor?"

I nodded, too afraid to speak. Trembling as my fingers clenched my belt. There was heavy metal music in the background as his foot never ceased on the petal and didn't dare touch the brake.

"How long?" He asked as his voice became aggravated. "How fu****g long have you been fu****g the professor?"

"Today." I said as I decided I was done being terrified of him. Done being controlled by him. "And he was more loving and better than you in more ways the one." I said internally begging for him to be so angry he would slow down. But it appeared to make him more angry. "What exactly is your plan? To cross me over the border? To kill me? What?!" I yelled as he slammed on his breaks as a deer ran out before the car.

"I gave up my morality, my lifestyle, my promises to you! I showed you my world and you smashed it into pieces! I can't even get it up anymore because all I see is you. You broke me! I don't work anymore and you're going to help me get it back."

"So you intend on kidnapping me for what?"

"I'm going to tie you up and screw you until you are raw and then explain to him why you can't feel him inside you because I was already there."

"No, Vincent please! You are capable of anything you want, but don't do this to me."

"It's what you deserve isn't it? Rape?"

My mouth shot open. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He turned his engine back on before he began driving more quick, dodging more cars before a set of red and blue lights appeared in his mirror. The loud siren gave me a sense of relief. The cop spoke over the com on his car.

"Pull the vehicle over." The officer repeated the demand various times before Vincent sped up even more, eventually pulling off on an exit and being cornered by various police vehicles. He was forced from the car as I went willingly and he gave his license before being written a ticket.

"Do you realize what you've done?"

"Not as much as I wanted to. If you let me go another four miles we could have made headlines boys. Young billionaire dies in fiery crash after police chase with young unidentified female beside him."

My heart sank. Was that is true plan or was he trying to get a rise? Either way, I wasn't sure I wanted an answer. The officer stood before him.

"You think you are so witty? Don't you boy?"

"Not just witty...quicker." He decked the cop before being tasered by another cop and dropping to the floor, shaking violently. Placing him in handcuffs, they took him to the jail where I followed with another cop-explaining the situation. All the while relieved more than ever I broke away from the contract.
