Angelique's P.O.V.
I ate breakfast at Ben's house before leaving. Ben was an amazing cook and I wouldn't mind living with him. I cleaned up everything while Ben quickly took a shower. Knowing Scott left for work early this morning and he won't be back until nine o'clock tonight, maybe even ten if he goes to pick up a girl first.
"Let's get going, I don't want you to get in trouble," Ben came down the stairs, his hair still wet from his shower.
"Ok, thank you for this. I really appreciate it," I smiled at him great fully.
"Any time Angie," he strapped me in and got in the car too. We made our way back to my prison.
Ben dropped me off and I did my best by sneaking in. I closed the door behind me and went to Lucas's room first. I lowered my head into his bed and kissed his forehead then left. I quickly went to my room and to my surprise Scott was sitting on my bed. My heart stopped and I stopped breathing.
"Where did you disappear to? You weren't in your room last night," he said standing up and walking towards me. I took a few steps back until my back hit the wall.
"I went exploring the grounds, anything to get out of the house. I fell asleep in the gardening shed and didn't think you'd care," I lied but luckily I did go exploring the yard yesterday so I'd know where what was.
"Don't lie to me! I know you snuck out and spent the night with Ben. I'm not stupid Angelique. Didn't I tell you that I'd kill him if you did that?" He was really pissed at me right now and I was scared that he might do something to Ben.
"Please I beg of you, please don't kill Ben. He's all I have," I fell to my knees shaking while I sobbed.
He grabbed the hair at the back of my head and pulled my face up to his."Then don't you ever pull another stunt like that, if you care for this boy you better be careful," he warned letting go of my hair. I dropped to the floor holding my head.
"Yes Sir," was all I said before he left. I cried for a solid hour before Mrs. Gilbert came with some lunch.
"Oh dear, what happened to your face?" She asked putting the tray with food on my night stand.
"Mr. McNally's way of teaching me a lesson," I replied. She hugged me tightly before letting go.
"He's thinking about expanding your room," she informed.
"Why? I like my room the way it is," I sat on my bed looking around my room.
"He wants to put a small kitchen in here along with a study and a large T.V. He's going to put you under house arrest. You won't be able to leave the house unless it's with him. You'll be locked in your room and only Mr. McNally and I have the key to open the door. The expansion in your room is to keep you from roaming around the house and to keep you fed," she gave me all of this information but I felt like I didn't hear anything. I guess I truly am in prison, just a slightly different version.
"Will I still be able to see Lucas?" That's all I cared about.
"Yes dear I'll have to sneak him in everyday for at least two hours. I'll also be bringing you supplies for your kitchen every two weeks, I'll keep a supply of baby solution for Lucas in here too," she smiled at me. I was relieved, at least I get to keep one joyful thing in my life.
"When will the expansion start?" I needed to know so I can prepare myself.
"Tomorrow morning at seven. The construction guys will be here at six so I think you should probably get up at five," she suggested and I nodded.
"Thank you, I'm going to eat now I'll bring the tray to the kitchen when I'm done," I said giving her a somewhat half smile. She nodded and left my room. How I wish I could just run away and he'll never find me. Why did I have to get married to a monster like him?
I ate my lunch in silence just looking around my room. You what maybe being locked up in here is not such a bad idea. I mean I can sleep in 'til whenever I want. I don't have to go out to do shopping and I can watch T.V. all day long. And a bonus I get to see Lucas for two hours everyday. Maybe this isn't such a bad idea.
I got up and carried the tray back to the kitchen. I placed my dishes in the dishwasher and the tray back in the tray holder. I went to the living room and decided to watch T.V. for a while before dinner.

Scott's P.O.V."Good morning Mr. McNally, how's the wife doing?" One of my clients asked. I hated when they asked me about that child, she'll never be anything of me.
"My wife is none of your concern, we are here to conduct business now speak before I kick you out," I warned. He sat down in front of me with a grin on his face.
"Your wife is my concern, I'm her brother," he said which gained my attention. What does he want now?
"What do you want?" I was getting frustrated with her family.
"I want you to allow her to see her best friend Ben at least twice a week. If you want her to get along with you without het acting out then you'll allow this," he said.
"What makes you think your sister acts up?" I asked looking at him intently.
"Oh please, my father use to beat the shit out of her and she'd always run away to Ben. She didn't trust any of us enough to tell us what my father was doing to her but we all found out from the staff working in the house. Ben is the only person she trusts and feel safe with, they've always been there for one another. They've known each other since they were kids. I want you to think about this because locking her up will not make her obey, it'll only make her fight you more," he explained.
How did he know I locked her up? I hope he's right because if this doesn't work I'm going to go crazy."I'll allow it however the amount of time he spends with her will be discussed with Angelique," I agreed to his terms. She knows what will happen if she tries to even run off with him
"Thank you, it's all I came here for," he said getting up and leaving my office. Now let's call Ben.
