Redemption

48..

Thank you.

I unlock the door from a spare key and entered my apartment. It was dark inside and all I could hear was my own footsteps when I enter and close the door behind me. I clicked the lights on and then my eyes caught some movement in the other corner of the room.

There he stands in his all height, towering over my small furniture. His presence make the whole room small in appearance and it's difficult to imagine my twins playing around like in a playground. My eyes suddenly move to the clock, it's around twelve. I hope they are slept on time otherwise tomorrow. .

"But tomorrow is Sunday." His eyes booms around in the silent room.

I didn't said anything, just move towards my room clutching my bag tighter to my side.

"Get fresh, I will serve the dinner." I heard him mumbled behind me.

"I'm not hungry. " I turn back, look into his eyes and lied.

"I said get fresh and I am serving the dinner. I don't think I asked you if you are hungry or not." He spat at me. His chest heaved up and down and it make it seem like he is stopping himself from doing something.

I just stand there looking at him. He looks angry and I really don't want to make him more angry. I was about to say yes but he added

"Look, I'm saying it politely for the last time. Be back in two minutes I am serving the dinner." The control in his voice, the aura around him made me nod in agreement. He then turn around and get disappear in the kitchen. I too make my way into my room.

He served the ordered food in my plate and took a seat in front of me. I stopped myself from asking why he didn't eat before me. Weren't they going to eat out today?
I just play with the food with my spoon and took small

"So you work in a club now?'

I choke on the last bite I had making me cough hard. He extended a glass of water toward my mouth but I snatched it away from his hands and gulp it down on my own.

I clear my throat but when I didn't trust my voice I nodded my head in a yes.

Then it all felt silent again just the noise of spoon scratching on plates.

"So Eden huh?" I look up hearing his mocking voice and gave him my best glare.

He chuckled humourlessly continue to eat his food.

Bloody stalker.

"You are stripper or something. ." He mocked again but I cut him in middle.

"I only make drinks." I sounded louder than I intended.

"Exactly. " he said dropping his fork in his plate.

"What exactly? " I asked dropping my spoon just like him.

"You just make drinks. So isn't the high salary they are providing made you suspicious? At all?" He folded his hand on the table.

I mimick his action and said "why do you care?"

And man, the look he gave to me was having the capacity to bury me six feet down in the holy earth.

Then he stood up from his seat and pace towards me around the table. Reaching behind me he wait for a few moments. I began to get your from the seat when his hands came on my shoulders. I jump in surprise but his hold kept me in place. He gave a light massage to my shoulders before sliding his hands down my arm and it made me giddy. When his palm reaches my wrist he gripped them tight and in next moment he pull my both wrist at the back of the chair and I hear a click.

I gasp with shock.

Did he really just hand cuffed me? To a chair?

Then he went back to his chair, sitting down, he send a smirk in my direction.

I was about to yell at him.

"Shout now and wake up the kids. Then you also know what they will do after seeing you all cuffed you. They will ask questions. And I might not mind slipping away few secrets to them. " he said while he reached back into the seat after clearing out the table between us.

"You can't blackmail me like this" I gritted my teeth.

"I can do so much more than just black mailing right now." His eyes roam up and down to my tied self.

He smirked and get up from his seat again.

"What are you planning to do ?" I can't help but ask him.

He just chuckled at my question.

"You just relax now. You have a long night ahead." with that he pull out a blindfold from his pocket.

I'm so sorry for not updating.

And thank you all of you for still waiting.
