Obsessed with Perfection

Chapter 69

Danielle

Song: X Ambassadors; Unsteady 

My gaze never left Liam. I tried to swallow the fact that he was so hell bent on revenge to the point where he didn't care who he killed. I now understand why he referred to himself as a monster. Hearing someone cry for mercy or beg to just end their life so they don't have to be tortured anymore gave him comfort. Liam didn't want his mother to stress anymore so he took the stress away from her. He went out and killed people today for drugs and money. Now he is holding some man in the basement hostage for what reason? Yes I love Liam, but this isn't healthy at all. I feel like a complete idiot now. It's like I am in to deep now, and there is no way for me to crawl out. I've had countless opportunities to get away from him, and now it's too late.

"Who is he?" I ask for the hundredth time

"I don't think you want to know the answer to that one." He lets out a dry laugh

"Please tell me that you don't have Julian downstairs." I leave the washroom and he follows

"You still care about him huh? I mean after all of the lies he told you are concerned about the guy." He crossed his arms and leaned against the door.

"He wanted to warn me about you Liam. That's like me saying why am I with you even though I know you kill people. You told me that Julian was lying to me, but it was you all along." I muttered

"Tsk-tsk see that is where you are wrong. I have never lied to you; I have been faithful to you all along. Now you on the other hand not so much." A smirk was etched on his lips.

"What do you mean I have been lying to you?" I ask raising my brow

"Tell me about your uncle." I let out a shaky sigh

"There is nothing more to the story. I told you what happened already." I bit the inside of my cheeks

"Hmm well why didn't you just tell the police that he tried to rape you?" He walked closer to me and I walked backwards

"W-what are you talking about? I told you why." My back hit the wall

"Oh baby I know the truth, I just want to hear it come out of your lips." He placed his hands on either side of me so that I could not escape.

"Who told you?" My eyes began to water

"Let's say the man down below told me a little bit about your family's background. Now Danielle did you intend to murder your uncle."

"L-Liam please you don't understand" I begged

"Please enlighten me." He looked down at me

"I-I can't he will h-hurt me." Tears began to fall and my chest tightened

"Who will hurt you?" He said in a soothing voice

"God,A-Aidan will kill me." I choked back a sob

"He's not going to hurt you Danielle, just tell me truth. Tell me who Aidan really is." I shook my head giving him pleading eyes

"You don't know him Liam, he is ruthless and he will find a way to hurt me." I close my eyes trying to shut out the unsolicited memories.

"You won't have to worry about him because he may or may not be in the basement too." My eyes widened

"H-how is he here?"

"I'm sure you can answer that yourself. Tell me now." He demanded and I sighed deeply. I ran a shaky finger through my hair and tried to calm myself down.

"I-I knew Aidan was a part of a gang and I also knew that my uncle was too. In fact I knew that Aidan wanted to be a second in command so bad that he was willing to do whatever to get whomever out of his way. My uncle was a cruel man Liam, he touched me when I was only 7 years old. I didn't know what it meant, but it just didn't feel right. I've known Aidan my entire life along with Julian. As I got older my uncle cooled it down, but that didn't stop him from making crude comments. He would still look at me and basically eye rape me; he would say sick things to me. I told Aidan about it and he came up with this crazy plan. Of course he wanted to murder my uncle right off the bat, but I told him not to. Yes the plan was to murder my uncle, but I didn't want any part in it. Aidan didn't care what happened as long as my uncle was dead." I had to stop myself before I completely broke down

"He made you kill your uncle?" Liam asked pulling me to the bed

"Things went so differently that night, it wasn't supposed to happen like that, well that night."

"Aidan, please don't make me do this." I practically begged. I could barely keep my phone still.

"He's not going to get away with touching you Danielle. If he dies then that will give you some sort of comfort, and it gives me the second of command when he dies. You don't have to do anything just make him want you tomorrow night. Everything will be okay. You will suffer greatly if this isn't done Danielle. I'm like a few blocks down."

"A-Aidan I don't want to - - " My door opened and my Uncle stepped in the room. I gasped when he locked the door. My breathing was uncontrollable.

"Danielle what in the hell is going on?" Aidan spoke from the other side of the phone.

"Hang up the phone Danielle. Now!" I jumped when he yelled.

"Danielle don't you—I hung up the phone." My back hit the wall.

I cowered in the corner of the room as he neared me. Sweat trickled down my skin. My heart begged to escape my chest and my lungs begged for oxygen. He grabbed my legs roughly and I let out a screech, but it wasn't loud enough. My throat was dry from him strangling me, I felt myself losing consciousness. I could feel heat radiating from him. He was going to kill me, he wanted to kill me.

"I never wanted to hurt you Danielle, but you won't let me have you" His husky voice sent me shivers

I whimpered "Y-you are my family"

"We are family by marriage Danielle. You are such a tease; you walk around this house with short-shorts on. I just want to please you that is all" He pulled me closer to him and I fought around with him. At the corner of my eye I saw a gun hanging in his waistband. In one swift movement I grabbed it from his waistband.

I opened my eyes seeing Liam staring at me.

"It was some sort of tradition that the Vikings had to get moved up to be a second in command. They had to brainwash someone to kill someone big. In other words Aidan forced me to kill my uncle so that he could have that title. I wasn't supposed to kill him that night, but he tried to rape and kill me Liam. I had to defend myself, and Aidan came too late. The damage was done. I couldn't tell the police because I was bound to kill my uncle anyways. I didn't want to hurt him, but my life was on the line along with my family. I kept telling myself that it was an accident, but I was going to kill him anyways. There now you know how fucked I am."

"You're not Danielle, he made you kill someone. Aidan is going to suffer now." He grabbed my hand

"N-no more blood Liam." I finally looked at him.

"There will be no more blood on you, but there will be on you. Love, you didn't deserve to go through any of that, and since you did I am going to make him beg to for death."

"Liam, who is the man down there?" I have to now

"There is only so much that you can take. You don't need anything else on your mind. You are going home tomorrow and you will have some sort of normalcy back in your life." He kissed my forehead softly

"You aren't coming are you?" I ask him and he shakes his head

"No, this is where I belong and I can't keep you here with me. An angel like you doesn't belong in a hell like this. You need to get back on track starting with loving yourself, but tonight I am going to make love to you like I'm never going to see you again."
