Strings (Book 2 in the CCHR Series)

Chapter 3

AN: So, I did a lot of writing the other night with the answers, so I wasn't sure if I would update. But, now I am! Woohoo!

Louis POV

My eyes widened. I couldn't believe this. She got herself pregnant, to keep me in her life. She wasn't in love with me, she was crazy. Who does this stuff? What a fast and efficient way to ruin your life. Get yourself knocked up by someone who isn't in love with you.

"You sure are something, aren't you Eleanor?" I sneered. "I don't give a fuck about that contract. It's not worth shit, unless I sign it. I'm pretty damn sure I haven't signed it."

"I'm pretty damn sure you will though," she sneered back.

"Oh yeah? How do you plan on making me? Cause I'm sure as hell not signing it willingly."

"I have my techniques. I know you Louis, I know how you are. I know, and so does Ryan, that you would throw away everything for the people you love."

"Touch Harry and I'll put a knife through your back so fast you won't have time to scream," I snarled.

"Who said anything about Harry?" Eleanor said. Her eyes narrowed, and a cheeky grin appeared on her face.

"The same concept applies to my family."

She smirked.

"We didn't touch your precious family. Well, at least your blood related family."

"We? Are you and Ryan a team now? The Bitch Buddies? Cause honestly Eleanor, you have no power over me right now. Ryan and his management team have nothing if they don't have us. Does he not see that? We're the key to his success! He's so power and money drunk that he can't even see that by bringing Harry and I down, he's bringing himself down too."

"Did you not hear me Louis? I didn't touch your mum or your sisters, but I obviously have something on you."

I said nothing, just watched as she made her way to her laptop. I was confused. I hadn't signed the contract, so nothing she had could make me marry her. There was absolutely nothing she could do.

Except what she had done.

She flipped up the screen on her laptop, and turned it on. I gasped in horror.

There was Liam, tied up with his mouth duct-taped. He was crying, and it was the most horrifying, scarring thing I had ever seen in my life.

My hand flew to my mouth.

I turned to Eleanor.

"YOU BITCH!!" I lunged at her. She screamed and turned, starting to run. The door burst open, and security guards came in and grabbed me, holding me back from Eleanor. Then, Ryan walked in.

"DID YOU FUCKING APPROVE THIS?!! ARE YOU A FUCKING PSYCHOPATH?!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!! I WILL FUCKING RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!!!" I screamed. I was pulling at the guards with every bit of strength I had.

"Oh Louis, you are foolish," Ryan said.

I pulled again.

"I'M NOT AS STUPID AS YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!"

"Oh, but you are," he smiled. "If you would have just listened to us when you first got together with Harry, none of this would have happened. You're just selfish."

"OH I'M SELFISH?! YOU FUCKING KIDNAPPED AN INNOCENT PERSON BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID OF LOSING MONEY!!!! YOU IGNORANT BASTARD!!!!" I screamed again, tears running down my face. I could still see the live footage of Liam on Eleanor's laptop. He was thrashing against his restraints. He was so panicked.
