Morning had arrived faster than | had hoped it would. | watched in agony through the broken. window as the sun sky had turned
from its bleak darkness to a bright morning with each minute the sun had risen. It was like torture itself and never in my life did |
ever dread theing of a new day so much.

But | did not have the power to deter the sun from rising just like how | couldn''t contro! Demetri’s appearance two hourster. He
was dressed in all ck and he wore gloves today unlike yesterday. He hadn’t said a word to me when he arrived and | liked it
that way but | did watch in horror as he set up a tripod and a camera to record whatever it is that he was about to do.
Demetri began this harsh ordeal that felt it was going on for an eternity. | didn’t know how long it had went on for but however
long it was, it felt never ending because it was.
| shivered in terror when I spotted him move towards the open leather casing disying nmaby sharp and pointy items.
‘Please Plea-” | cried in a futile attempt to beg
him to stop but the anger shed across his face
and | was silenced. He threw the de set on the
floor beside me and shot me a deadly re.
“No amount of your begging will save you so shut it.” His voice was thunderous and while it may have silenced my begging, it
didn’t stop my sobbs.

closer and reached for my zip that held the

Amedium sized de with a Matt finish rounded
handle was yanked from the set. | saw the de glisten as the light from outside caught it. Demetri was not wasting any time
neither was he giving me the mercy of time to prepare.
It wasn’t even a second before it was pressed against the skin of my leg enough to break it before he dragged it down. |

excruciating pain shot through my entire leg. | shut my eyes to help it take away the attention from the burn that was settling in

All | could hear aside from my screaming and crying was the mercilessughced and driven.

left leg. Again, | screamed, shutting my eyes and
tensing from the torture but it only hurt more.
The de was flung across the room before a de bigger de was taken from beneath my feet. | squeezed my eyes shut
tightly not wanting to witness the de break through my skin. His hand. curled around my jaw and squeeze and | knew they
were going to leave marks.
‘Do not shut your f**king eyes! | want you to witness everything.” He screamed in my face and my eyes flew open.
He muttered some thing under his breath before raising the bigger de and using it against my left thigh.. two times making
sure to create slits below each other.
Again, | screamed until my throat felt like it was on fire but it wasn’t helping. | could feel the blood from my wounds running down
my legs, hear
the noise the droplets made when they hit the floor, see the small pool of blood gathering under my suspended b*dy. It wasn’t
long before he did the same on the other thigh. But it was almost as if he was writing something or at least it had felt that way
since the de seemed to glide
across in curves and swirls.
Demetri stepped back, inspecting his work before nodding to himself and picking a smaller handled de. His attention moved to
my upper arms and it was worse. The pain seemed to be a hundred times more. | could feel my entire b*dy be numb and
grow limp. | was like a corpse that still had a heartbeat. It was almost as if it was
submitting to it. To the torture because | knew that there was no way of me escaping it.
Demetri didn’t attempt to mare my stomach but | didn’t think he’d spare that part but | guess they wanted me brutally battered
and not entirely dead.

Demetri had taken a small break leaving me and my wounds bare. It stung and hurt all over and
every thing was silent just like myself. | had run
out of the energy to scream.. to beg. A part of
a huge part, was tempted to just close my eyes
and ept the darkness but | couldn’t. Even
though doing that would put me out of this
situation and the amount of blood loss was

Thinking of Hayley was the only thing keeping
me,
me going, keeping me from willingly sl*pping into the darkness that loomed so closely over me. | couldn’t imagine her trying to
deal with my loss. She was only a child who discovered her father but that didn’t mean that she had to lose a mother because of
it.
| could only hope that Dante had gotten to Hayley by now and she was not alone and scared. | also hoped that Dante some how
knew that some thing was terribly wrong. | didn’t know how long they had nned to keep me here or just what their actual n
was. But | did know that if things had ran their course as per Pheobe’s wishes, it was going to be a terrible route.
The door was pushed open abruptly causing it to m against the wall loudly. | jerked in shock at the sound catching me off
guard and the movement felt like all the cuts on my b*dy had been stretched leading to a burning sensation and, once again, my
b*dy was on fire.
“Rest time is over, princess. Demetri muttered in his gruff voice but this time he was not alone like before.
Behind hisrge figure was Pheobe who joined him now dressed in a ck dress and and sandals. She grimaced at the sight of
me but that was it. No sign of any sympathy neither did she seem pained to witness such a scene before. It was like she was
totally desensitized and used to this kind of things.
She scrunched her nose at the smell of blood. ‘Good job. Demetri.” She praised him like he was some kind of watch dog or
servant as opposed to someone she loved.
Phoebe walked close inspecting my state before she straightened her posture and nced to

verbally state it.
“Have you seen the footage from earlier?” Demetri asked in a tone that not so critically told her that it was enough.
Pheobe purses her I*ps. “I have but | like to make the most out of situations.” She grinned like a pig.
Demetri sighed but covered it up with a cough. “I think it’s enough for now. Send the footage of and make a ransom call. If Dante
is unmoved then we pick up the heat.” Demetri said to Pheobe who had still been eyeing me far too closely.

“Fine, we''ll try your way.” Pheobe settled then fished out the same phone that had been used pinned to the tripod earlier.
| just hung there like a carcass in a chilled with no say to any thing. My arms were utterly numb after the many hours that | had
been held like this and | wondered if they would even work once they were undone.
“We have to feed her, Pheobe. Look at her.” Demetri said in a low voice as he moved closer to Pheobe. “She will die from hunger
and weakness before Dante even responds to us.
Pheobe shook her head like she didn’t think | deserved food but then let out a loud grunt and stomped her food against the
creeky floor.
“Ugh, fine. | suppose you''re right. Get her some food. Pheobe agreed and it was only at the mention of it did | realise just how
famished | had been.
My b*dy had been thriving of adrenaline and pain to think about nourishment. All | thought about was water for my parched throat
and food hadn’t even been on my mind.
Pheobe had pulled up a chair and glued herself to it whilst Demetri disappeared to get me some thing to eat, | presumed. There
was some thing about Demetri that differed greatly to Pheobe. Aside from their physical attributes, Demetri was capable of some
level of empathy. Pheobe might not even be able to understand what empathy actually is, but Demetri still possessed some
sense of a moralpass.
| bit back a scoff as Pheobe trapped me in a stare. She didn’t intimidate me one bit. Not any more. As | watched her re bitterly
at me from across this mirky, dingy shed, | hade to understand just how weak she actually was. She had nothing aside from
her snarkyments and venomous res and with out Demetri or Dante, she was a lost sheep. Dante was her trump card for
money and Demetri was her lover who also doubles as a yes man to do her every bidding with out questioning her judgement.
“| could never understand why Dante was so head over heels in love with you.” Pheobe tilted her head to the side like she was
trying to find the answers within my crusty, dried bloody wounds.

“It can’t be looks because who are we kidding when ites to me.” She flexed her shoulder dwelling in her conceit. “Maybe

the way she looked at me seconds ago. “But | think it was because Dante realised how scheming and deceitful you had been
from the beginning.” | spat at her and the words did nothing to her. If anything it was like she had been fueling herself by listening
to
that.
“It took him far too long to piece the puzzle together.” She said in a pitiful tone. “| expected more from him in that regard but |
guess it would have worked out perfectly if he hadn’t figured things out at all.” | was pretty sure she was speaking to herself now
because she hadpletely sl*pped in to her own bubble.
For a moment, | was beginning to believe that she was insane.
She cackled and | caught my breath watching her. “We would have all the money. All the richess. | wouldn’t need to beg at the
feet of a man ever again. Isn’t that right?” She asked but to no one in particr just herself in the corner of the shed.
| watched her in utter shock and suddenly her actions and personality began to make sense. How had no one witness this glitch
of hers. Perhaps Demetri had known hence the reason he was so patient with her.
The door creaked open and Demetri returned with a brown bag and a bottle of water in his hand. He followed my gaze to
Phoebe conversing to herself in the corner and he immediately rushed over to her.
Demetri’s hand had found her shoulders and he began to shake her roughly until she snapped out of whatever trance she had
been trapped in. | realised right there and then that | was dealing with lunatic all along.
