After nearly fighting for her life, Lucy is rescued and back with her family. The fight is over for her but for Steven it's just began. Kwan and Corey team up to find a common enemy and once they do tears will shed, blood will spill and Funerals are...
It's been days since Lucy lost the twins, she was still in shock. Her usual firecracker personality changed, and she was all out of fight. She didn't even have the strength to mouth off to Steven anymore. Steven thought this was the perfect time to get what he'd been wanting. He walked into Lucy's room and watched as she cuddle herself in a fetal position. Steven walked closer to her and sat on her bed. Lucy rolled her eyes as she felt the bed go down from Steven's weight.
"Let's get you cleaned up." Steven said as he picked Lucy up bridal style. She didn't bother fighting him off as he took her to the master bathroom. Steven sat her down at the vanity as he ran her bath. Once he got the water at the right temperature, he walked over to Lucy and gentle grabbed her hand. Lucy looked down as Steven proceeded to take off her clothes. She felt so violated, Lucy stood naked in the mirror. Without looking up, she could feel Steven looking her up and down. Lucy quickly got in the tub. The hot water tingled her skin, she exhaled as her body relaxed. Lucy closed her eyes, sinking in the water a little more. She heard the door shut and opened her eyes. Steven left the bathroom, she looked up at the window. Lucy was finally able to fit through it, but she was still weak. Even if she did jump out, should wouldn't had enough energy to make a run for it. It was now time for plan B. Steven walked back in with a Kassatex towel. Lucy got out the water and wrapped her self in it. She followed Steven back into his bedroom. Steven had her change of clothes placed on the bed. Lucy cleared her throat causing Steven to look back at her, "Do you mind if I have a little privacy?" She asked.
Steven nodded, "I'll be back in 5 minutes to check on you." Lucy agreed as she watched him leave the room. She quietly locked the door behind him before running back to the bed to put on her clothes. It took her a moment, but she managed to cover herself. Lucy quickly searched the room for a way out. She looked in Steven's dressers for a phone, knowing he had to have more than one. She looked through every last drawer for a phone but came up empty handed. She went in his closet to check in his pants and coat pockets, still no avail. She was beginning to give up. Lucy flopped on the bed and waited for Steven to come back in when she got the idea to look under the mattress.
She could feel the tears stinging her eyes as she spotted the black Motorola flip phone, she quickly took it and dialed Kwan's number, it rung a few times before the door handle begun to shake.
"Lucy unlock the door." Steven roared.
"Hello?" Lucy wanted to scream when she heard Kwan's voice on the other line. She knew if she screamed for help, Steven would do something stupid.
"Steven, what do you want? If you're not going to help me find Lucy I'm hanging up." The tears fell rapidly as she saw the door began to unlock from the outside. She quickly hung up the phone and turned it on silent before stuffing it in her bra.
Steven swung the door opened, looking around. "Is there a problem?" Lucy asked with attitude.
He stared at Lucy for a moment before shaking his head no, "Come on.. breakfast is ready." He said motioning her to go downstairs.
Lucy raised her right eyebrow, "You want to eat it at the dinner table or in that prison down there.. your choice." Steven said as she walked passed her. Lucy knew she had to get Kwan to save her, but she was starving.
"Um.. Steven.." She said as she stood still.
Steven looked back waiting for her to finish her sentence. "Do you mind if I put on my slippers?" Lucy asked. Steven exhaled as he went back in his room and into the closet to get to Lucy's room. He unlocked the doors as Lucy followed behind him, he extended his arm motioning Lucy to get her slippers. She went to her bed and got on all fours to get her slippers from under the bed, but to also slide the phone under, just in case Steven check her. She got up and put the slippers on before going back upstairs. Lucy bit her lips to keep from screaming, the sound of her deceased babies haunted her, she looked down at Steven and he remained unfazed. It's all in your head, Lucy. She told herself. It stopped once they made it downstairs, Lucy shook off the feeling as she went to the kitchen. She sat down far away from Steven as his maids placed a platter of breakfast foods in front of her, steven and his employees.
Moments into eating, the crying came back, she quickly swallowed the bacon that she'd been eating. Lucy looked around to see everyone still eating as if they didn't hear it. "You okay?" One of the males at the table asked. He was a young black boy around 18 years old. Lucy nodded as she sucked up and got herself together. Steven glanced at her and motioned one of his maids to come to him. Lucy watched as Steven whispered in the maid's ear, causing her to occasionally look at her. The maid nodded before going upstairs, a few minutes passed by when the same maid came back and handed Lucy two pills.
Lucy gave a confusing look towards Steven as she held the pills in her hand, "They're muscle relaxers. You look uneasy." She was hesitate but popped the pills anyways chasing it with orange juice. Moments later to crying stop, she exhaled as she excused herself.
"I'm ready to go back upstairs." She told Steven as she walked passed him. He wiped his mouth with the cloth napkin and went to follow behind her. Once they got to the top of the staircase the same maid who gave her the pills exited out of one of the other rooms. She gave Lucy an odd smile before walking passed them.
"You can sleep in my room if you want... you don't have to stay locked up in that room anymore." Steven said. Although Lucy wanted to stay away from her personal prison, she couldn't, not while the phone was still there.
She declined his offer, "I've grown to like it down there." She lied. "If you don't mind, I would like to go back." She added. Steven nodded before unlocking the doors and taking her back to her bedroom. Lucy sat on the bed before giving Steven a look. He raised his arms in the air before leaving her to her lonesome. She waited until she heard the second door close before pulling the phone from under the bed. She quickly dialed Kwan's number again and waited but it went straight to voicemail. It brought her spirit down a little, but that didn't stop her from continuing to call him. Her days in that hellhole was limited, and sooner rather than later she was going to be in Kwan's loving arms again.
