I groan as I wake up with a pounding headache.

What the hell?!

I don't remember drinking anything with alcohol in it.

I slowly open my eyes only to notice that my wrists and ankles are handcuffed to a wooden chair.

What the hell!

I suddenly remember what happened with my dad at build-a-bear workshop.

I look around and notice that Charlotte, Carolina, and Kayden are all handcuffed too but they're still asleep.

I'm about to scream and try to wake them up but the door to the basement opens and reveals Henry with a smug expression.

"Oh goody, you're awake" he says as she strolls over to me

"The bosses want to meet you" he says

"Great, I can't wait to give them a piece of my mind" I say with a smirk which makes his face fall

"Look here, missy, if you try something in there I won't hesitate to kill every single one of your friends and make it look like an accident" he says in a threatening tone

I glare at him but don't say anything.

He smiles at my reaction and un-cuffs me before leading me out of the room.

I make sure to pay attention to my surroundings so that I'll be able to find my way back.

Two minutes later he stops in front of two giant double doors.

Henry knocks on the door before receiving a small 'come in'.

He gestures for me to enter the room. I grab the door knob and enter the giant room.

"Aspen?" A lady ask me from a couch

She looks to be in her mid-forties.

"Depends on who's asking" I say as I walk further into the room

A man enter the room seeming to be in his late-forties or early fifties.

"Nina and Bruce Wilder" he says as he walks up to stand beside the lady

My eyes widen in shock as I become speechless.

They can't be-!

"C-Charlotte's parents?" I question

"That would be us" Nina says with a smile

"So you're the boss?" I question slowly

"We both are" Bruce butts in as he wraps his arm around her

I'm shocked.

Who is sick enough to do all of the shit that they've done.

Who knows what they've done.

"Why did you request to see me?" I question as I cross my arms

"You're seeing my daughter, correct?" She questions as she takes a sip of her tea

"What do you mean?" I ask in confusion

"Are you in love with her?" Bruce rephrases

"Why? I don't see why it's any of your business" I say trying to stall this conversation

"We're trying to understand why you like her and vice versa" Bruce says calmly

"Yes, I'm in love with her" I state

"Great," Nina says and sets her teacup down

"I want you to stop seeing her" she says

"Stop seeing her?" I question with a monotone voice but mentally laugh when I see frustrated looks on their faces
