I watch from the bed as Zayn and Harry begin to talk about work. I learn that they work for Louis Tomlinson, who sounds very familiar. I think my dad had mentioned him once or twice.

So now, it made sense to me. I was being used as bait. He could have told me that from the start.

"So, this is Alice Lording, huh?" Zayn says, looking over at me from the couch where he and Harry sit. Harry nods. "She's very pretty." He says and I cringe.

"Easy there tiger." Harry says and I scoff.

"So, what are you going to do after you get the money?" Zayn asks.

"Well, obviously I'm not letting her go back and I don't think she will have much use anymore, so I guess I'll just kill her." Harry says casually, shrugging.

I gasp and the boys erupt in laughter. But just because they are laughing, doesn't mean that they are joking.

"You sick, mindless bastards. Who died and made you like this?" As soon as the words escape my lips, Harry abruptly stands up. For a second, I see pain in his eyes along with anger. Zayn also stands up and places his hand on Harry's shoulder. Harry and I glare at each other before he sits back down.

"I really hope that Seth hands over the money soon, I'm getting eager to kill her off." Harry mumbles.

After a few more hours, Zayn finally heads off so now it is just Harry and I. A part of me was terrified of Harry, but another part of me just wanted to keep being a smartass towards him just so I could get a rise out of him.

I watch hungrily as Harry sits at the table, quietly eating a burger. I lick my lips as my stomach fumbles loudly. The last time I ate was early this morning, just before the attack. Harry hears this and turns to look at me, smirking and purposely chewing slowly.

"Please, can I have something to eat?" I ask shyly.

Harry is silent for a moment, acting as if he is thinking about it. "No." He replies rudely, before turning away and biting into his juicy food.

My stomach rumbles even more and it hurts like hell. Being hungry is not a good feeling at all. Finally, I become desperate. "Please! Please, I'll do anything!" I plea, but regret my words immediately. Because Harry turns around again and another smirk plays on his lips.

"Anything?" I sigh, before nodding. "Alright. You have to have sex with me." He says and my mouth falls open.

"What? No way!" I say, giving him a disgusted look.

"Why not?" He laughs. "Oh, don't tell me you're a virgin."

I don't reply. So what if I am? It's not like I ever even had someone to do it with? I basically lived inside my whole life, I didn't even have any friends, except for Jones. "I'm saving myself for someone special." I say, turning red in the face.

Harry scoffs. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're going to die a virgin. You do know I am going to kill you after, right?" He says.

"I know! You keep telling me!" I say frustrated. Harry gets up from his chair and walks over to the fridge. I watch as he pulls out a piece of bread and places it in the toaster. Even though it's just a piece of toast, it's still something.

My mouth waters as the crispy bread pops out from the toaster, indicating that it is ready. Harry places it on a plate and walks over to me. I pull at my chains, trying to tell him to unchain me so that I can eat.

Harry chuckles. "Nice try, I'm not falling for that one again." He says. I roll my eyes.

Harry sits next to me, picking up the piece of toast with his fingers. He brings it up to my lips and I quickly take a bite out of it. I nearly moan in delight, but stop myself incase Harry gets the wrong idea. In less than a minute, the toast is completely devoured and I am left craving more. Harry walks over to the sink and dumps the plate into it, not even caring that it might break.
