Treacherous

Chapter 62

*Phone ringing*

My eyes slowly opened due to sudden and continuous loud sounds. It took a while for me to clear my vision and realise where I was. Soon yesterday night's scene flashed before me. Thinking of it tears rolled down my nose immediately. I didn't had any energy to even move my finger. I realised that I felt asleep on the room floor. My body was weak and still in a little pain.

But I cannot stay like this forever so I gathered some energy and sat up slowly. I leaned to the bed and traveled my eyes to my hands. They were all filled with dark red stripes. Skin was ripped somewhere and the condition was ugly. My head fell back and tears rolled down my cheeks again. This is becoming unbearable day by day.

I however crawled to my phone and checked the missed call. I checked the time. It's was 9:38 am. 5 missed calls from Cassie and few texts messages from her were dropped on my notification screen. I opened my inbox while adjusting body comfortably on the floor.

Cassie: Please pick your phone up babe!

Cassie:- are you even awake?

Cassie:- ughhhh pick your phone up!!! We need to meet for wedding preparations.

I let out a weak sigh and gulped. I then called back Cassie. She in two rings picked it up.

"Where the hell you were?!" She yelled.

"Do you even know how many times I called you!!" She added.

"It's almost 10 am and we have many things to do!!" "Judy and Louis had gone to Southampton urgently as some of their family have arrived there" "Jake has already gone to see the wedding venue!!" "And you and me are supposed to go to the hall designer to select the decoration material of the hall!! They are waiting for us!" "And you here aren't even picking your damn phone!!"

"Cassie--" I tried to speak but my voice cracked.

"Jenna? Are you okay?" her tone changed from anger to care.

"Ya-ya I'm okay! Just feeling a bit sick. I'm sorry I just woke up. I'll meet you in an hour" I weakly spoke in a very quiet manner.

"Jenna? You voice doesn't sound sick but something like you are in pain or something like that. Are you okay? I'm worried now!!"

"Hey! It's nothing like that! I'm okay! It's just a headache! I'll be alright. I'll take a medicine, don't worry!" I tried to speak in normal voice so she won't suspect something wrong.

"Are you sure? I can handle it on my own. You may rest!"

"Oh! No Cassie, it's okay! I'm fine. I'll be there!"

"Oh okay! As you say. I'll pick you from your hotel in an hour!"

We then exchanged byes and ended the call. I finally tried to stand up. I stumbled a little but didn't fell. What if Stefan tortured whole of my body yesterday and not just my arms? These type of thoughts were running in my mind. It always happened when Stefan assaulted me.

I however took a cold shower as hot shower would have made my wounds more worse and painful. After the shower, I got changed into a simple long sleeve, loose, plain red dress above knee length, tied a black and white checked scarf around my neck to give the dress a pretty look. Left my hair open as my hands didn't had the power to play with them. I just brushed them off and set them properly.

"Where is my necklace?!"

While it was setting my hair, I felt nothing on my wrist and It suddenly clicked me of my necklace. I immediately pulled the sleeve up just to see a bandage and red marks above my wrist and also my missing necklace.
