Married To The Clown

Chapter Sixteen 'Chemicals'

Athena's POV
'J, what's all this?' I frowned in confusion as he placed a series of bags and boxes on our bed.
Walking forwards I stood beside him and peered down in curiosity.
'Tttthese are for you! Get ready dollface!' J purred as he turned his head and smiled down at me.

'What's it all for J?' I questioned looking into his eyes to find some form of answer but he was like a blank book.
'No questions doll! You did say you'd do anything for me' he sang, winking at me.
'I know and I will but you could at least tell me what's going on' I groaned pouting at him in attempts to break through his wall.
'Tsk! tsk! No doll, now get dressed! Yyyou have a long night ahead little wife ahahahaaaaa!' J cackled patting my head before stalking out the room.

I watched him retreat out the door and once I was sure he was gone I let out a huge sigh, followed by an annoyed groan. He needed to stop with all the secrecy it was driving me crazy. If the marriage was going to continue I needed him to open up and let me in. I also needed to stop being so scared of him. I couldn't live my life in constant fear of my husband. Ever since I was a young girl and watching my mom get beat down from my father I swore I would never be in that situation, and if a man dared to lay a hand on me I would be gone. Yet here I was lost and feeling like the biggest hypocrite to exist.

Finally deciding to see what he had in store for me I slowly opened a big silk box to reveal the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. The Diamonds pierced my eyes and I could feel myself choking up from its beauty. It must have cost him a fortune but I doubt he noticed with all the money he was bringing in. Opening the other boxes I felt my eyes widen in confusion. It was like he was preparing me for a wedding but instead of white everything was so dark and morbid.

Curiosity was now eating away at me so hurrying towards the bathroom I took a quick shower so I could finally get ready and see what he wanted me to do for him.

'You look beautiful Athena' I heard him whisper in awe making me jump slightly as u turned to face where he was standing in the door way.

'Thank you J! The dress is really beautiful' I smiled breathlessly, looking down and admiring his gifts.

Looking back up I couldn't help the smile that stretched across my face as I admired his white wedding suit.
'You look very handsome J!' I blushed slowly making my way towards him.
'Wwwwe must look our best, tonight is very important!' He exclaimed as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his chest.
'Will you tell me what's happening now J?' I whispered before placing a kiss on his jaw.
'No! Now turn around!' He demanded taking a hold of my arms and spinning me away from him.
'JACK!' I screeched accidentally in panic as he began to blindfold me.
'Shhhh dollface I've got you! Trust me baby' he cooed kissing my ear and stroking my arms.
Nodding my head I continued to let him blindfold me.

Taking my hand I felt J slowly guide me through the house and out to the car. My nerves were on edge and all I wanted was to rip the blindfold off but I refused to anger him because who knows what he would do to me. I don't think I could deal with another situation like the bathroom. It plagued my mind most nights, I felt so violated and betrayed.

We had been driving for a short while when the car finally came to a stop. My heart was pounding out my chest as my senses heightened towards his actions. Every sound made me jump and hearing him get out the car terrified me. I had no idea where we were and I didn't like it one bit.
The smell was the first thing that hit me as he opened the passenger side. It felt like a batch of chemicals had been thrown at my face. My nose stung in protest and I could feel my eyes starting to water under the blindfold. This was the worst smell to exist!
Hot flushes tickled my skin as I felt it begin to burn. Everything in me was telling me to run and escape while I could but I knew J would catch me.

'Come dollface!' J purred as he began to drag me forwards.
'I don't want to' I whimpered trying to pull back.
'NOW!' He roared yanking my arm.
Letting out a choked sob I began to cry. My body hurt as I trembled violently.
'Hush my love! I'm sorry, it's all ok I promise!' J cooed pulling me towards him and cradling my head.
'I'm so scared J!' I wailed latching on to the front of his suit.
'I know dolly! It will all be over soon ahahahaaaa!' He giggled before pulling me away and continuing to pull me forwards.
Deciding to place my trust in him I stopped my protests and let myself be controlled.

I was tired!
We had climbed what appeared to be thousands of steps. My legs burned and if it wasn't for J I would have fallen. Finally I felt my feet reach flat ground. The chill of the crisp night air confirmed that we were really high up and on some kind of roof top.
The smell up here was over bearing and the urge to puke was clawing at my insides. I wanted to go home but it was to late now, I was stuck!

'We're hereeeeee!' J sang before cackling happily.
'And where would here be J?' I gulped, my voice shaking as I tried to control my sobs.
I flinched feeling his hands come up and play with the back of my blindfold. With one sharp tug he ripped it off my head.

I gasped in terror as my eyes adjusted to the light and a sign confirmed where I was.
'J, why are we at ACE chemicals?' I whimpered, my eyes wide trying to remove the sign from my head.
What was going on?
