Chapter 89: Chapter 89

I sit on the couch, tied, my body feels cracked but my mind isn’t. I think I need to stretch my body to my soul after I got home. William cooked behind me, I have no idea what kind of hell that he tries to feed me after this. I turn around and look at him “What makes you so long?” I ask. “Jesus Christ, can you please shut your mouth fuck up? You made my life like hell!” William responds as he put the food inside the microwave.

I’m waiting in silence as my eyes keep looking around the place, thinking about what is the next move that I should do after this. He grabs the food with him after I’m waiting for minutes, he walks closer to me and sits in front of me. “Open your mouth” He coaxes as he running the food to my mouth, tries to feed me. I open my mouth and chew the food, he gave me canned soup. I keep chewing as he feeds me with a spoon in his hand.

I accidentally point my sight to the pictures above the brick fireplace after I finish the food. William notice as he put the plates on the table “That’s my sister, she has nothing to do with this. Her coming down in the basement was a total accident, it’s another reason I couldn’t let you go to the cops. You put her at the scene that makes her a suspect and she has kids” He explains. I stare at the picture once again before I point my gaze at him.

“You’re telling me you have a nice family that cares about you and you still pulls this kind of shit?” I laugh softly. William points his gaze desperate to the picture and gets up from the seat in front of me, he makes his way closer to the fireplace “They were supposed to get rid of that one, fuck” He mumbles as he walks towards the fireplace. He takes a picture above the fireplace and staring at the picture in his hand “This is Jane, my ex-wife” He says.

“We met in Hawaii, it was a long time ago… we started this business together. It’s a huge tourism market over there, we’d have more than three simulations going at once, we were training personnel, we rented a warehouse” He starts as he looking down at the picture. “We were good in our job…” He chuckles. “For the first time in my life I didn’t feel like a failure” He smiles as he looks at me. “But then…” I raise an eyebrow as I point my gaze at him.

“But then I had to walk away… get out of the town. I guess Jane figured she didn’t need me anymore and we divorced. I never saw it coming…” He says. “And here I am” He sighs. “Did you love her?” I ask, my eyes look at him standing next to the fireplace. “Yes” He heavily breathes and nods, he put the picture back above the fireplace. “Can I take a shower?” I ask. “I feel pretty gross. You know, I have all this… tape all over me” I explain.

“I don’t really think it’s a good idea” He responds as he stares at me. “I promise you I’m not gonna make any trouble” I smile, try to convince him. He takes the tape off of my arms and walks me to the bathroom, I close the bathroom door and take a shower. William is standing in front of the bathroom and waiting for me. I get out of the bathroom after I finish and I wear my clothes, I wear a sweater and loose pants which I brought inside my car a day before I got kidnapped.

William gives me a bottle of liquor and I sit on the couch in front of the fireplace to warm myself. I drink the liquor with wrapped wrists, as I’m looking at William who standing next to the fireplace, he keeps looking at the pictures with a bottle of liquor in his hand. “Where is she now?” I ask as I drink the liquor. William stares at me and he walks closer to me, he sits next to me and drinks the liquor after. “Who knows? Who fucking cares?” He chuckles as he drinks the liquor.

I sigh as I look at him “You know… I was having someone who I thought my last…” I start. William keeps drinking the liquor and laughs softly. “What did he do?” He asks. I drink the liquor and chuckle “Not he… but she” I laugh softly. I inhale deeply and close my eyes “I left…” I say in a low voice, my face looks down to the ground. “She broke my heart…” I say in whispers as I held my tears. “And I mad at myself… because of what-” I chuckle.

“Because until now, I still can’t get over her and I hate myself for that” I laugh softly. “I still love her…” A smile starts to come through my face. “And I… I think I broke her heart” Tears start to fall down to my cheeks, my breath gets heavy. My tears dripping down as I drink the liquor, I try to settle down and breathe. “But I can’t really blame myself cause I don’t really know if I want me too” I put the liquor on the table. I shriek and laugh “Whoow! I just sat on the ball gag” I giggle.

William laugh as he looks at me “Trust me, it’s been a worse place” He says. “No, don’t say that. I’m just… that thing was just in my mouth” I reply as I move my hands and laugh softly. William laughs as he keeps drinking the liquor. “What are you doing?” I stare at him. “You really not a kidnapper” I say. I move myself as I rest my legs on the couch and I’m facing William “So if I say that I won’t go to the cops this whole thing is over. It’s all done” I say.

“Yeah…” He replies. “So you’d let me go?” I ask. “Yeah, I would” He shrugs. I raise my eyebrow and look at him “Okay, so I won’t go to the cops” I say convincingly. “I’ll tell my family, you know… something. I’ll make up some kind of a story” I say. “You’d do that?” He asks. “Yeah…” I respond as I heavily breathe. “Yes, I will” I smile as I point my wrists to him. He agreed and he will take off my wrists tied. “Thank you, thank you!” I say in relief with a low voice.

“There’s just one thing that I kind of wanna know” I wonder as I see him cutting off my tied. “Yeah?” He replies. “Oh…Jeez” I exhale in relief as he off the tied in my wrists. “You alright?” He asks. I exhale as I look at him “Your ex-wife, what did she say?” I ask as I look at him. “It’s just that she must’ve made up some terrible accusations and I’m wondering what they are or were…” I start. He stares at me in confusion “Why are you asking me that?” He asks.

“Clearly she’s the one that set us up, there’s nobody else that would have that kind of vendetta” I explain in dismay. “There’s no vendetta” He laughs softly. “Oh, so you can tell me what she said?” I ask as I look at him. “It has nothing to do with this, just drop it” He answers. I inhale deeply as I get closer to him, trying to dig for answers “I think you’re afraid to tell me” I say as I point my gaze at him. “I think you’re afraid to tell me because it’s true” I raise an eyebrow.

“And because you want me to like you… but you know what Wil? I don’t like you and I’m never going to like you” I stare at him in a smirk. “Do you wanna know why? Because I think everything you’ve said is bullshit!” I yell at him. “What I think is that you like being in control. I think you like tying people up, I think you like feeling big…” I stare at him and point my index finger at him. “What did you do Wil?” I ask in a low voice as I get closer to him.

“Did you tie her up?” I get more closer to him. “Did you push her around?” I keep running myself closer to him gently. “Just when we practiced the simulations” He responds, below me. I’m facing him, I'm on top of him and keep staring at him, trying to dig the wounds “Oh… You hit her, didn’t you?” I ask under my breath as I give him a smirk. “Just once, because she asked me to…” He says in whispers. I inhale deeply as I look at him “Did you like it?” I ask in a low voice.

“Do you wanna hit me?” I ask under my breath. “No…” He whispers. “Oh, come on Wil… I’ve been really bad. Are you sure you don’t want to hit me?” I whisper. “N…No” He answers in stutters. I suddenly punched the side table lamp next to us with my hand, the lamp shatters, falling to the floor in pieces. “Whoops…” I say under my breath as I point my gaze to William which lay under me.

He stares at me in silence, his breaths get heavy. I remove my body from him and make my way slowly to the fireplace, walking around the fireplace slowly. “You’re acting insane!” He exclaims from the couch as he keeps looking at me. “Am I? Do I need to be punished?” I respond as I take a baseball bat inside the basket and point the bat closer to the pictures above the fireplace. He keeps looking at me in silence as he heavily breathes.

“Don’t!” He yells from the couch. I hit the pictures with the baseball bat, leaving all the glass pieces to fall on the floor. He shouts and quickly runs to me, he pushes me away from the fireplace and launches me against the wall, putting all of his body weight onto me and into his shove. He choked me with all his might, wrapping his hands tight around my neck. I could feel the air is no longer entering my throat, I gasp as I start losing my breath.

I pound the fist to the wall as I try to breathe. I point my eyes at him and I’m starting to lose the air, my eyes start point to the ceiling “Ogh… ogh…agh…ghh…” I choke as his hands still wrapped around my neck. He choked me tight, my feet began to lift and began to move away from the floor. I started glaring, my eyeballs are about to out of my eyes. I grunts and I lose my breath as he keeps choking me. I can’t help but pant when he releases my neck.

My limp body falls to the floor as I try to keep breathing, feeling the air in my lung. William walks away from me and about to back sit on the couch “I’m so sorry…” He says as he keeps walking away from me. I try to open my eyes and get up from the floor even though if I’m losing my breath now. I take the baseball bat next to me slowly as I try to get up, I get up from the floor and slowly make my way closer to William, then I hit him hard from behind.
