PLEASE DO VOTE & LEAVE A COMMENT.
My eyes lit up slowly it was a new day, I could see the light of day radiate to the cream rod pocket curtain, my head was bowed down all through the night.
I was still tied to the chair, I felt dehydrated and hungry at the same time, I had not eaten anything since yesterday morning.
My lips felt chappy from the lack of water, sitting in one position for a whole night was exhausting enough to render me weak.
After a while chuck entered into the room wearing a black tuxedo, he had a plate of mashed potatoes in his right hand and a glass of water in his left hand, he placed both the plate and the tumbler on top of the drawer.
"how was your night my princess?" he asked as he walked towards me
He unties my mouth and removes the piece of clothing out of my mouth.
"Now you can speak, answer my question" he said caressing my face with his hands
"how do you expect me to be doing, you left me in such an uncomfortable position? "
"sorry about that, I didn't plan on doing that, but you left me with no other choice"
"please let me go"
"no honey, I'm never letting you go" he whispered into my ears
He walked back to the drawer, taking the glass of water from it.
"I'm sure you're tasty" he said placing the tip of the glass on my lower lip
"open your mouth" he said softly
As much as I needed the water my pride wouldn't let me, i turned my face to the other side as a way of refusal. He pulls my face by my cheeks facing it to the cup.
He then presses my cheeks, my mouth makes an opening giving him a way to pour the water into my mouth.
"Don't reject anything I give you" he said with his hand still pressing my cheeks forcefully.
He goes to the drawer to drop the tumbler and picks up the plate. He puts some mashed potato on the spoon as he offered to feed me.
I tightened my mouth as a way of refusing his offer to feed me. He became really agitated at my refusal, he mounted a punch on my face with his right fist, which left a great impact on the right side of my cheek and lips.
My lips felt very sore at the moment, it felt like my tooth were about to pull off, my lips started bleeding but I didn't notice until he brought out an handkerchief from his pocket and used it to clean my lip.
"I'm so sorry " he said looking remorseful
"why are you making me do all this, if you can only behave well I won't hurt you, I promise" he said caressing my face one more time.
"I'll be right back let me go get your dress "
He was about leaving then room when I called out to him.
"Chuck!, chuck please my baby needs me, stop all this, my mom must have informed the police of what you're doing, chuck if you can let me go now I swear I won't press any charges" I pleaded at him
He looked at me for a second with a smirk on his face, he started laughing nonstop I felt really stupid with the way he laughed.
"so you really think your mom is going to call the police " he said as he continued to laugh.
"yes, you might have tied her up but doesn't mean someone can't come in to untie her"
"well you seem so sure about that, well I doubt anyone will look for her, i locked all the doors to the house, so they might just think that she went out of town and I made her leave a open voicemail , let me show you "
He pulls out his cellphone and calls my mom's number but he was taken straight to voicemail.
"now listen"
Hey sorry I'm out of town i'll be back soon, I'll call when I'm less busy
"so tell me, do you think anyone who hears that would still bother search the house, besides if she were able to free herself she can't report to the police "
"why?"
"well Miss Allie, by now you should know that criminals can't freely walk up to a police station and report a case, they are always scared that they'll find out what's up in their sleeves"
"I don't get you " I said confused
"well let me break it down for you, a murder can't easily walk into a police station without feeling uneasy" he said as he brought his face closer to mine, looking me straight in the eye.
"Are you trying to call my mom a murder?"
"by now you should understand, who else but your mom would want Joel dead"
"you're lying! "
"oh my World, you still don't get the clear picture, okay let me explain to you" he exhales in and out heavily.
He sits on the bed behind me as he begins to explain.
"so let me start from what I know, your mom had this fantasy of getting rid of Joel, few weeks before his death she offered him $20000 to leave you, $20000 which she asked me to give her, the plan was to offer him that money and if he didn't accept she pleaded with me to kill him. You know your mom is one smart bitch, she refused to get her hands dirty"
"that's a lie, my mom would never do that, okay tell me how does Brenda fit in all your lies"
"well after Joel rejected the money and I disgreed to kill him your mom became frustrated, she then approached your jealous friend Brenda, you know Brenda had an eye for Joel, but he never noticed her he was too busy drooling over his childhood friend, she badly needed the money and since she couldn't get Joel for herself, she took your mom's offer. You can ask your mom only she knows where the murder weapon is hidden"
"chuck If this is the truth then why didn't you talk earlier on" I said with my eyes filled with tears
"well it was none of my business, and I only got to realise this recently, when I heard of his death I did suspect your mom, but i didn't care, until your mom came with an offer after his death. She told me that if she could get you to marry me she'll be rewarded with a sum of $500000, foolishly I agreed I paid her a sum of $250000 in advance, I can show you the debit alert on my phone. You know you're very unlucky "
"This is not true, you're lying!! " I yelled out with tears gushing out of my eyes
"Why would I lie, I'm also hundred percent sure that your mom killed Brenda, thank God I didn't help her with her plans she might have killed me... oh wait I remember she can't, she'll need us to be married first maybe after then she will kill me and you can enjoy my property. To think of it why am I even wasting my time with you, at the end if we both get married your Cunning mom will enjoy my money and she doesn't deserve a penny"
"okay fine why don't you just let me go"
"not so easy, you stood me up at the alter, you must feel the pain I felt "
He collect his gun from the bed and place's it in his back pocket. He untied my legs and body from the chair leaving only my hand tied.
"we are going to have so much fun, I promise you"
He pulls me by the hair dragging me out of the room with so much rage.
