His Cupcake

Prologue

Cassandra POV

"Don't worry, Cassandra. You're safe now. Everything will be okay after this. I will take care of you." Scarlet hugged me while whispering some motivating words to calm me down.

I saw the police pushed him from behind with a handcuff on him. He acted aggressively and attacking people around him. Due to the uncontrolled situation, he was shot. I looked at his dead body on the ground in disbelief.

I hope this will be the end of our story. Finally, I won't see him anymore, and he will never have the chance to do anything cruel to me again. It felt like staying in hell with him for the past few months. I just want to erase his name and everything that related to him.

I was grateful that the neighbor noticed something odd about us, and they decided to make a police report. I learned from Scarlet that everyone was looking for me and I was reported as a missing person. The police came the last time with a warrant to search for his house but they didn't notice about the small cabinet in his hidden basement that he used to lock me up at that time. He kept me locked in the dark without tiny light. He made me startled all the time and tortured me with his cruel hands.

It was a miracle that I still could breathe and survive. I didn't say anything after they took me out of the dark place. It was traumatized and petrified. Everything was too much to take in. I was given the second chance to live.

But, I knew even with the second chance to live, it won't be easy for me to forget the horrible days. I will always remember what he had done, the way his eyes gawked at me, the words he spoke, and the way he tortured me to his pleasure. No doubt that it will stay in my mind for a long time, or maybe, forever.
