"And if I say no?" I challenged, happy I sounded more courageous than I felt.There was silence on the other end then a chuckle. "Such spark," he commented with a bit of appreciation. "If you say no, then I will be forced to find someone who will say yes. It'd be a shame to take the other dark-haired woman. But I bet she'd be fun to break."Alyssa! How did he know about Alyssa? Break her? Everything Trev had said in the truck on the way out here came to mind. These men had no problems kidnapping, raping, or murdering women."Ah, yes. I see you understand my meaning perfectly," he said happily.I swallowed the bile that was rising in my throat and my knees were shaking so badly that I could barely keep myself upright. After a few minutes, I finally gave up and let myself fall to the porch floor."What's going to stop you from doing that to me?" I asked, putting words to my fears."We wouldn't need to because we'd have our money," he explained as if it was really that simple."You'll le

"Vie! Stop calling me!"I breathed out a sigh of relief. "Bethany, listen, I forgot that paper of authorization you gave me to withdraw the money from your safety box."I spoke quickly, hoping she would not deny what I was saying."Vie, what did you do?" Bethany gasped in the phone."Oh," I giggle then winced a bit when it sounded a bit hysterical to my ears. "Nothing you have to stress on. They just need it today and I can't seem to get in without your approval.""Oh, Vie. Please tell me you didn't make a deal with them," she pleaded with me.I held my finger up to the teller."I'm so sorry. Apparently, the note is not the only thing I forgot. I'll be right back," I told her, with a comical roll of my eyes. She waved me away, her smile never failing.I stepped aside to where no one could overhear me."Look, Bethany. These men are giving us one chance to fix this. I have one hour left to get this money and get it to them or they'll go after Alyssa."There was dead silence on the other

"Indeed."His contemptible gaze looked me up and down before he reached down to grab the bag of money. He tossed it to a man behind me that I immediately recognized as his associate named Mikey. His face was a bit bruised and roughed up, but not beyond recognition. He barely even glanced at me before opening the bag and stacking the money up on the counter."Count it," the leader demanded.By the time he was done he had a nice pyramid stack, and he began counting it. I tried hard not to shift impatiently as we waited, but it was not an easy task."Hello, Señorita," whispered the man, behind me breaking my concentration.His foul-smelling breath washed over me and threatened to choke me."We should go into the back and get to know each other better, sí?" he asked in a lewd voice.He pressed his hips against my back, and I could feel the dreaded tiny erection poking against me. He rubbed it against me, and I wondered, humorlessly, if he would get the insult if I turned around and emptied

I tried to shove the limp body off me, but there was something wrong with my arms. I raised them gingerly and only managed to catch a glimpse of the swelling and bruising before they flopped back down. I tried desperately to move them, but was horrified when one hand refused to move at all.A hysterical sob burst from my mouth, and I laid helpless underneath the body. Panic engulfed me again when the sound of pounding feet reached my ears. I struggled in earnest, once again, fearing that up next was going to be Antoine's companions. A pair of hands grabbed me as another shoved the body off me. I continued to scream and tried to kick, but I was so weak I resembled a worm on the end of a hook."Vie," a voice called.I whimpered, not wanting to respond to the perceived threat."Baby… it's Trev," came the soft voice again.My fear choked my mind and I took a second to respond. When I looked up, I saw Trev's face right in front of mine taking up my entire field of vision with his beautiful

The vague sounds of scuffling behind me drew my attention, and when I looked, I saw Trev fighting off several of the officers trying hard to get to me. But Trev's murderous gaze was on the officer standing behind me, who looked almost as if he were a mouse caught in the gaze of a cat. I stepped in front of the officer and raised my one good arm up to Trev."Trev, stop!" I said firmly.Well, as firmly as I could despite how weak I felt. That did not matter, though it had gotten Trev's attention like I had wanted it to."Stop," I repeated softly. "He didn't mean to."He stopped struggling and the men took that opportunity to cuff him before he could do anything else. They had to drag him to the squad car, but his eyes never left mine. He mouthed something that oddly looked like the words "I love you," but I knew I had to be mistaken.As Kevin had promised, the questioning did not last very long before they rushed me to the hospital. My body was ruled pretty banged up, but no concussion

A knock on my bedroom door several days later woke me long before I was ready. The doctor had prescribed me some pills to help me sleep and now the damn thing not let me wake up."Vie, I have the nurse out here. She'd like to meet with you for a few moments if you feel up to it," my mother called from the other side of the door."Ok," I slurred out.Fighting the urge to pass out again, I struggled for a few minutes to push myself upright in bed. A soft hand under my armpit helped me finish sitting upright. I looked up to see a face I never would have thought I would see again.Alyssa smiled back a secret smile. "Hello, Vie. Your mother has told me so much about you.""She has, has she?" I responded, trying hard to make sense of the odd way Alyssa was speaking to me."Vie, this is Nurse-""Alyssa, please," she interrupted before my mother could finish her introduction.I realized that is what was going on. She was acting as if we had never met. Relief filled me as the meds started letti
Because I Want To Chapter 58
A month.... A freaking month had gone by since I had heard anything from anyone. Alyssa had long since stopped coming to see me and I never heard from Bethany.My cellphone had never been returned to me. The police had stated it was evidence, cracked screen and all. So, my mother had gone out and bought me a new one. I think it was her way of trying to make it up to me. Speaking of which, we never did sit down and talk. Although with how sweet she had been the last few weeks, I think I really got my point across finally.As much as I enjoyed spending time with her while she wasn't yelling or lecturing me, I really did miss all my friends. And Trev…Damn freaking man! I had made up my mind a while ago to just let him go, but he would not stay out of my head!I stabbed viciously at a piece of lettuce and called it, or him, a slew of terrible names under my breath."Something on your mind, sugar?" said my date for the evening.I looked up at Greg and realized for the fifth time I had been

"C-can I help you?" I spat out, feeling as shy as I was the first time that I had met him."Can you help me?" he repeated softly."D-did you need something?""Need something?" he parroted.There was an edge to his voice that got to me as if he were angry at me. I swallowed down my fear and lifted my chin defiantly."Yes, did you need something? Or did you just come here to play a game of repeat? I'm very tired and would like to go home."I crossed my arms over my chest to appear nonchalant and not just to hide the horrible shaking of my hands."Oh, I'm sorry. Was your date too exhausting?" he sneered out.My jaw dropped. "How did you know about my date?"He let out a harsh laugh. "I saw the guy grope you before he left. The nicest thing I could assume was that he was your date.""Well, if it matters. Yes, he was my date and he was not groping me. He'd barely touched me.""I saw him kiss you!" Trev practically yelled.I sighed painfully, knowing that the time for reasoning had passed."
