Lethal

Chapter 6-Help!

Riley Ann POV

Vince is staring at me, licking his lips. "Oh, baby I've missed you so much." He whispered. I felt his kiss on my neck. Tears were falling from my face and onto Vince's orange shirt. "Baby, I'm here now. Don't cry." I then pushed Vince off my body and started to run, only to be tripped and straddled by him. "VINCE, PLEASE!!" I yelled in hopes that someone heard me. He then placed the knife on my throat. "Shut your fucking mouth!" He yelled. I continued to beg for mercy. "Vince, please! I'm pregnant!" His demeanor changed and he then pinned me to the floor. "What?" He seethed. "I'm pregnant. Please, don't hurt me. Please." His breathing pattern changed. As much as I wanted to fight, I was afraid of hurting my unborn child. As he was slowly releasing his grip on my arms, I punched him in the throat and pushed him off my body. I scurried out of the bathroom and started screaming for help. Charlie rushed out of the room and ran towards me. Vince was following close behind. Charlie then grabbed me and kicked away Vince onto the floor. Charlie then punched Vince multiple times until he was taken off my guards. "Break it up! Who the fuck let Lee out of his cell?!" The warden asked the guards. None of the guards spoke up. Vince was bleeding and groaning. "Take him to the med ward and have him chained." Vince was dragged by the guards. "RILEY!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!" Vince yelled at me. I cried into Charlie's arms. The warden comes in front of Charlie, shaking and "DA Phoenix. I'm sorry for this. We had no idea that he would-" "SAVE YOUR EXCUSES! My wife was attacked in YOUR facility. HOW DARE YOU?!" Charlie yelled. "You obviously have poor security and inept idiot guards! I will have your badge! If I find out that the guard that was SUPPOSED to watch Lee hasn't been fired, I will make sure you are cleaning shit out of fucking prison toilets!!" Charlie held onto me as we walked out of the prison. The same prisoners that catcalled me earlier had their heads looking down to the floor and not saying a word. Charlie escorted me to my side of the car and placed my seatbelt on. "Riley, you're hurt. I'm taking you to the doctor." He said to me. I didn't reply to him for fear he might yell. Charlie started the car and we drove away. 

Two Hours Later

I check out of the doctor with a cut on my forehead and my baby safe. "You hungry, love?" Charlie asked me. We then decide to drive over to House of Chang. I hadn't spoken for a while because of the shock. I then decide to but also try to avoid the subject of Vince. "Why did you leave?" Charlie asked me. "Please don't bring this up." I whispered. "I'm going to! Why did you leave?" Charlie asked as he banged on the table. "I felt sick. I wanted to wash my face and before I knew it, Vince pushed against the wall and had a knife to my throat." I answered truthfully. Charlie sighed heavily and asked, "Did he- Did he touch you?" I looked at him and said, "No, he didn't." The waitress brought out our food, which was chicken lo mein, eggrolls, orange chicken and a large bowl of wonton soup. Charlie thanked the waitress and began to serve me my food. "Are you mad at me?" I asked. Charlie didn't answer me. He looked visibly upset. I decided not to speak during dinner. After the course was done, Charlie paid for the check and said, "I'm going to the office. Don't expect me home till late." He got up from the booth and tossed me the keys. "Bye." He said. My heart was aching. Charlie was mad and probably hated me. I looked as Charlie was walking up towards the doors. I then see a woman smiling at Charlie and he smiled back. I start crying as I start the car and drive away. I knew that eventually, he would drift. He made me feel horrible and weak. I then head for home, still shocked and upset.
