Chapter 3: His wrath

Feel free to point out any mistakes. Edited this chapter as best I could.

Angelique's P.O.V.

I was sitting in the kitchen eating dinner when Scott came in with a girl attached to his face. Their make out session was intense so I decided to make myself known before I witness something I don't want to.

"Good evening darling husband," I spoke loud enough for them to stop what they were doing.

"You have a wife?" The girl asked.

"Excuse me for a second, go wait in my room I'll be with you in a minute," he spoke to the girl and she obeyed.

"Bye it was nice to meet you," I called after her.

"To your room, now!" He growled. I quickly got up and made my way to my room with him in tow.

"If you interrupt me again when I have company you will not be so fortunate," he warned.

"It's not my fault you and your whore were about to do it in front of me," I snapped at him.

"Your curfew will be at eight if you're not in bed by then you'll have me to deal with," he stated.

"I'm not some child, I have a will of my own you can't do this to me!" I yelled at him. The next thing happened so fast that I could hardly remember what happened. My cheek was stinging and I was on the floor looking up at him. He slapped me once more before grabbing my neck and pulling me up.

"You act like a child and I'll treat you like one, keep this act up and I'll beat the shit out of you. You do as I say or so help me God," he warned dropping me to the floor. I coughed trying to get my breath back. He left my room locking my door behind him. I crawled onto my bed and curled up into a ball holding my cheek and crying. I need to call Ben I can't be here anymore. I sat up straight and grabbed my phone dialing Ben's number.

"Hello, Angie?" He answered after the second ring.

"Ben, he hit me," I sobbed into the phone.

"Where are you I'm coming to get you?" He said concerned.

"Do you remember where Mr. Drake lives?" I asked still crying.

"Yes, I do," he replied.

"In that very same street is his house, I'll meet you at the front gate in twenty minutes," I replied.

"Ok but please hurry," he said and ended the call. I didn't need to pack a bag because Ben always had some of my clothes in his closet. I grabbed a Bobby pin off my dresser and started picking the lock. After about five minutes it was unlocked. I met Ben at the gate and he helped me get into the car and then we were off. We arrived at Ben's parents house.

"Angie before another word is spoken I need to know what happened," he pointed at my cheek.

"He hit me because I interrupted him and his whore. Please Ben I don't want to go back," I pleaded. He sighed and we got out of the car.

"Jesus Angie what did he do to you?" Ben held my face inspecting the damage once we got inside the house.

"He slapped me because I yelled at him," I replied. Ben hugged me tightly against his chest as I closed my eyes savoring the moment.

"Let's go inside, my parents are at my place in New York for the weekend because dad has some business to conduct. We have this place all to ourselves," he said grabbing my hand and walking upstairs. He handed me my pj's and allowed me to take a quick shower. I didn't wash my face yet. It was too sore and swollen to touch.

"Can I borrow your phone I need to call Mrs. Gilbert," my phone died and I forgot to take the charger with me, I know I'm very smart.

"Who's Mrs. Gilbert?" Ben asked handing me his phone.

"She's Scott's housekeeper," I replied dialing her number.

"Hello, Angelique is that you?" she asked concerned.

"Yes it's me, I need you to tell Mr. McNally, if he asks where I am, that I don't feel well and that he shouldn't bother me. Please Mrs. Gilbert," I pleaded hoping she'd say yes.

"Alright dear, but don't stay out to long, be back by tomorrow afternoon," she replied which made me smile.

"Thank you, I'll see you then," I said and hung up.

"I've made some food before you called, I'll go get you some if you want," he informed me.

"Thank you, I'm just going to get in bed. I'll wait here for you then we can talk," I replied picking up my clothes off the floor and walking to Ben's closet. I dropped it in his laundry basket then closed the closet door. I went into the bathroom and sat down on the counter next to the sink.

"Let's get you cleaned up," Ben said dabbing a wet towl on my face to clean of the tear stains.

"What would I have done without you?" I asked looking down at my hands. He put his fingers under my chin and lifted my head up so he could stare me in the eyes.

"You would have done fine but for what it's worth I'm glad that you called me to come rescue you. Angie you mean everything to me and I hate seeing you like this. Please come live with me where you'll be safe," he pleaded.

"I can't, he'll kill you," I replied leaning my head against his chest.
Scott threatened me yesterday when he saw Ben. He told me that if I ran off with Ben that he'll find us and kill Ben. He'd drag me back to his house and he'll beat the crap out of me until I obey his every comand. So far he's been true to his word so I'd rather not risk it.

"Angie," he breathed out," don't worry we'll figure something out."

"I have to go back tomorrow afternoon, if I don't all hell will break loose," I looked up at him.
He sighed and put the towel down in the sink.

"I'll have you back before then," he replied. I jumped off the counter and walked back into his room. I walked towards his bed but grabbed the tv remote first. I swithched it on. I crawled into his bed and underneath his covers where he pulled me closer to him as we both fell into a deep peaceful sleep with the tv playing all night long.
