MARRY ME NOW

~

I found myself in a seemingly large living room. I huge window showed the front of the house. Going over to it. I saw Cedric entering his car and it drove off. He was gone.

We need to escape. Hopefully, the front door won’t be locked. Who am I kidding? Of course, it’s going to be locked. My eyes became watery at the thought of not being able to escape from here.

I hope Kara already noticed I’m gone. I hope.

Kara, She warned you about him. My subconsciousness scolded. I wish I had listened to her, what the hell was I thinking? I knew her long before him.

I truly owe her a huge apology.

I looked for the front door and found it a minute later. I pulled out the door. It was locked. Oh, there goes my chance of escaping.

I was stuck in a nightmare because of my stupid decision. I looked around the house if there was another door leading outside but there wasn’t. The windows were all locked.

I cried hugging Anne to my chest.

I almost jumped when I heard someone slam the front door shut. Anne was sleeping on me, I must have fallen asleep. On a chair of course.

I got up with Anne still asleep. Her stomach was growling. She must be so hungry. Oh, my poor baby. A few seconds later Cedric was in front of me.

My breath was stuck in my throat. “Hey,” He greeted. I glared at him. The only thing on my mind right now was to threaten him, possibly hurt him… Now that Anne is with me, he can’t threaten me.

“Let me out of this place or I’m going to… To… Uh,” I was lost for words, what was I going to threaten him about, calling the cops? He chuckled. “Give her to me.” He said stretching out his hands towards Anne. “No.” I snapped.

“Do I have to punish you?” He asked, clearly annoyed.

“Do I look like a child to you?” I asked back. He gritted his teeth and stuck his hand in his pocket bringing out a gun.

Oh my God. How does he even carry a gun around? “Fucking give her to me. I’m not going to say it again.” He snapped. My breathing increased. There was a gun, pointing directly at Anne’s back.

Just give her to him.

“H-here… Please don’t harm her..” I pleaded over and over again.

“I won’t… If you do as I say, Tess,” He said. “It’s really late, you should go prepare dinner.” Oh, so he wants to make me his slave. If Anne wasn’t in this, I really wouldn’t have listened to him, I don’t have any other family to be worried about apart from Anne.

“Okay..” I replied. He smiled and pointed towards where I should go.

After an hour I was done with everything, I was lost at first but Cedric had helped me out. He said he wouldn’t help next time… Next time… I hope there wouldn’t be a “next time” of this. I hope someone would notice I was gone and complain.

I had fed Anne and myself. Cedric asked me to put her to sleep. I stayed in the room where I had to lay Anne down. I hope he was going to let me stay here.

The door opened and Cedric showed up. “Is she asleep yet?” He asked.

“Uh..” She was asleep but I fear he was going to ask me to come with him if I told him she was. He walked closer to us. I gulped.

“Come.” He said grabbing my hand. I was forced to get up on my feet. He dragged me out of the room. Oh my God, what was he going to do with me?

“Cedric..” I called. He didn’t stop until we were in a room… The room we were in earlier. “Sit on the bed.” He said.

“Ce-” He cuts me off. “Just do it.” He barked. Fear consumed me and I went over to the bed, sitting at the edge.

He soon joined me. “There’s something I want to tell you,” He said. “I love you, Tess, I’m doing this for us.”

“N-” He cuts me off, again. “This is the only way we can stay together forever, I would do anything for us to remain like this. Even if it’s against your will… Others don’t have to know anything about this and that’s why you’d tell them you’re okay and not a word about anything that happened. Your friend, Kara called. Now you’re going to call her back and tell her you’re okay or you’re going to lose your child, I bet you don’t want Anne dead.” He said.

I shook my head no. Warm and salty tears rolled out my eyes. “So… Are you going to do what I say or…”

“I-i would, please don’t harm her..”

He smirked. “Good girl.” He said rubbing my thigh. He leaned in and pecked my lips.

A phone rang.

He stuck his hand into his pocket and brought out my phone. Someone was calling me. He looked at me. “You’re going to do as I say.” He said. I nodded my head.

He gave me the phone. Kara was the one calling. With a shaky hand, I answered the call and placed it on my ear. “H-hello?” I asked and Cedric threw a warning glare at me. Cocking his gun.

“Tessa! I’ve been calling you since yesterday, why weren’t you picking up your calls? I was at your place and you weren’t there.”

“Oh, I’m sorry… I Uh, I misplaced my phone, I just found it.” I lied.

“Oh okay. But are you okay? You don’t sound okay.”

“I am. Just… Tired.” I lied… Through my teeth.

“But why aren’t you at home? I was at your house at 7 pm and you weren’t there.”

“Oh, We Uh… Went on vacation.”

“Uh?”

“I have to put Anne to sleep now, talk to you later,” I said hoping then, Cedric would leave me on my phone. Then I could tell her everything.

But why would he? I don’t think he’s that stupid… Cedric took the phone from me. “What was the stuttering for?”

“I-i’m sorry,” I said. He rolled his eyes. I noticed he was eyeing me. “Cedric, are you going to let me go? Please don’t keep me like this. I promise I won’t tell anyone.” I tried. No harm in trying.

“No. Not before I get what I want.”

“W-hat do you want?”

“You. I want you to love me… Tess.”

If he wanted that then he wasn’t going to let go of me. Only God knows when I would be out of here.

“Well, There’s no way I’m going to love a monster like you,” I said. He smirked.

“I know you weren’t going to. I would just get everything by force.” He said coming closer to me.

Grabbing my hands. He kissed me on the lips, it was rough. So rough that it drew out blood from my lips. This was definitely some type of punishing me.

I tried fighting him off but my strength was nowhere near his.

I just cried as he forced himself on me.

“There is definitely something going on mom. I know Tessa, she doesn’t speak like that unless she’s in some sort of trouble.” Kara told her mom who nodded her head in agreement.

“What do you think is going on?”

“I’m not sure. You know, I also suspect that her so-called boyfriend, Cedric. He’s up to no Good. What if he has done something terrible to them!”

“Why would you think so? I don’t see anything wrong with Cedric. He’s a very good person.” Kara’s mom said. Kara snorted.

“Let’s just call the cops-” Her mom cut her off.

“Kara! You’re being unreasonable. You heard it yourself, she’s on VA. Wait, on vacation? I thought. But we can’t jump to conclusions now, she said she is going to call you back. Right?”

“Yeah. I’m gonna wait till then. I guess.” Kara replied.
