<Stephanie's POV>
I wake up from the sunlight shining through the curtains and get up walking over to the door. I try the door knob seeing if it's unlocked and to my surprise it is. I get up and walk downstairs to see if Chris is awake yet.
Nope no one is awake but this door that's always locked is wide open and there's stairs going into this dark room.
I go and find a flashlight and turn it on as I make my way down the stairs. Boy does it smell down here too my lord what or who was down here. I make it to the bottom and look around flashing the light onto something that looks like chains?
I look closer and see something golden glistening in the light. I walk over quietly and see that it's Dylan's watch. I gasp as I pick it up.
As I'm looking at it I hear footsteps booming from the second floor which means Chris is awake. Great.
I quickly head back up carefully shutting the door behind me and putting the flashlight back where I found it as he walks down the last step.
"Morning steph" he greets in a groggy voice as he walks into the kitchen.
"What did you do to Dylan?" I ask turning towards him crossing my arms over my chest glaring at him
"Now steph baby I already told you.... I got rid of him" he says stroking my cheek.
I flinch away from his touch "don't you dare touch me" I sass backing up into the counter which only makes him angry.
He approaches me getting very close putting his hands on either side of my waist on the counter trapping me in "I will not be disrespected in my house got it" he snaps sternly.
Speechless I just nod not knowing what else to do.
He backs up again and turns around going into the fridge "what do you want to eat?" He asks. But I had lost my appetite from that little scene so I don't answer for a minute.
"Is he dead?" I ask softly as he pulls things out of the fridge. He sighs and looks at me again.
"Stephanie please I don't want to get into this with you right now" he says firmly
"So he is dead" I say shakily turning around keeping myself up using the counter.
"Stephanie..." he starts sympathetically.
"He's dead isn't he?" I snap whipping back around
"Yes! Stephanie he's dead! I ordered one of my men to kill him last night" he yells out of frustration.
I feel my heart just shatter and next thing I remember is everything going black and hearing Chris call my name.
