Chapter Thirteen

Scarlett's POV

"I said, where the fuck were you and where the fuck is Georgia at?"

I cower at his voice. Everything in me is screaming at me to run. To get the hell out of here. To tell Matt and have him save me.

But I don't do any of that. Instead, I cower at him.

"I'm waiting for an answer," he steps towards me, grabbing a fistful of my hair and yanking me up, causing tears to spring in my eyes. I rapidly beat them down.

"Sh-sh-she's at th-the bar-barn," I stammer out, my body trembling.

His eyes turn black. It is like I'm staring at something that isn't even human. "You went to the barn," he says through gritted teeth, tightening his hold on my hair.

"Yes."

I should not have said that. That was definitely the wrong thing to say.

His eyes burn with rage. "You fucking slut," he roars and tosses me to the ground, "I fucking told you to never go out there, and what do you do? You fucking go out there. You incompetent bitch!" He kicks me with every word he says.

"I'm......sorry," I manage to croak out. My breathing became labored and I started seeing spots everywhere.

Finally, the kicking stops and he crouches down to look at me. "You're sorry?" he says in a mocking tone.

I nod, or, well, try to.

"Sorry doesn't cut it, you little whore."

Before I could manage to say anything, I see his fist coming at my face, and then the world turns black.

Matt's POV

I hadn't heard anything from Scarlett since she left my house yesterday. Part of me worried that Nate had somehow found out.

But he couldn't have. We have this all planned out perfectly. Nothing can go wrong.

Right?

"Matt," a shrill voice rings out, interrupting my thoughts.

I turn around to face Alicia. "Hey, what do you need?" I ask casually.

"You're late for your lessons," she lifts an eyebrow at me.

"Oh," is all I say, still rooted to my chair in the office.

"So, are you going to get up and teach them?" she asks, obviously annoyed.

"Can you teach them? I'm kinda busy right now," I state firmly.

She rolls her eyes.

One thing I always hated about Alicia is her stupid attitude. Can't she just follow rules for once?

"I already had plans for today," she whines.

"Yeah, and I'm your employer, now do as I say," I glower at her.

She scrunches up her nose in an unattractive way, before stomping her foot and turning on her heel and walking out. "Fine," she calls out angrily, over her shoulder.

I sigh and put my head in my hands. This is going to be a long day.

Scarlett's POV

Something cold and wet splashes onto my face, leaving me breathless. "What the-" I gasp out, getting a hold of my surroundings.

Wait. Why am I on the living room floor?

The pounding in my head brought all of last nights actions to my head. I groan.

Not again.

The clearing of a throat causes me to jerk my head up. "Hi," I squeak out.

He just rolls his eyes and manhandles me up to my feet. Quietly, I dust myself off, before returning his gaze.

"Pack your bags." he says simply before turning around and walking away.

"What?" I ask, confused.

Obviously annoyed, again, he turns around and faces me. "Did I stutter? pack your goddamn bags. We are going on a trip."

He then walks out of the house, leaving me speechless.

Nate's POV

"Sorry I got held up baby, my boss was being an asshole and made me work today," she whines into the phone.

"It's okay, gorgeous. Anyways, I got the plan in motion," I console her.

"You did?" she squeals.

"Yes, I did," a twisted grin plastered itself onto my face.

"Yay! I love you so so so much, baby," she coos into the phone.

"I love you, too. And soon enough we can be together without those two airheads in the picture."

"Why are you even with her," she whines, again. God, I really hate that she whines a lot.

"Because she's pretty to look at. That and she looks so innocent when she's not, plus, I can control that petty whore and make her do what I want, it's fun." I state.

"Hmph, fine."

"Hey, after our trip, we can be together, I'll get rid of her during the trip."

"What about the daughter?"

"She's already taken care of. Matt has her."

"Oh, okay. Ugh, there's my boss, I gotta get back to work. Love you, see you tonight." she purrs into the phone.

"Can't wait, love you. Imagine all the things I'll do to you tonight," I lower my voice seductively before hanging up.

I turn and see Scarlett's shadow packing through the window.

She doesn't know what's about to hit her.
