Bound by Madness Some Pride
We are silent through the rest of dinner. I can’t help but look around as if our solitude could be disturbed at any moment.Near the end, after he serves a store-bought dessert, I say, “whatever you told the police, take it back.”“What?” He must be lost in thought because his words are light and confused.“They didn’t take me seriously. What if I’m in real danger?”“You call me, not them.”“Do you remember when I fell asleep on a train and ended up 2 cities away? My phone had 4% battery, I hadn’t brought my purse or wallet, and I called you to come get me.” I ask.He makes a face, “no?”“It was about 3 years ago.” I remember it clearly, “you said you couldn’t because April’s mom was in the hospital and you needed to take care of her.”His eyes dart side to side and his forehead furrows, “why…”“I called you and you told me to stop being jealous. And you said that April’s mom had always been there for you growing up and you needed to support their family. Then my phone died and I had
Bound by Madness Come Home
I asked Anna to stop and get me a baseball bat before taking me home. I’m cautious approaching the door.For all I know, there’s a group of doctors and police inside waiting to arrest me. I need to be ready to escape.Armed with a ready bat, I enter the house.There’s a strange scent, almost like burnt fish. I snap around quickly trying to figure out where Liam and Harry are. They aren’t here.As I walk in further, someone finally walks into my sights.I swing the bat but he jumps and dodges with a disgruntled gasp.“What are you doing?!” Tom snaps as he catches the bat as I reset my stance. In his other arm, he holds a tray of some kind of food.“Where are they?” I look around again.“Where are who?” He tugs the bat from my hands but I don’t let it go without a fight.When he finally pulls it back, he puts it and the tray on a table in the entrance. Then he grabs me by the shoulders and mumbles, “I forgot, you’re insane.” As he leads me to the kitchen.He’s set up a candle lit dinner
Bound by Madness April
“You don’t have to go back unless you want to.” Anna says.Some morbid part of me wants to. I want him to love me. I want him to choose me. I want him to want me. I just know that these wants will never be my reality. They’re April’s reality.She had two years to monopolize him and she’d taken it.I’m just a formality.Anna leaves with Hailey to go get me a phone and contact the PI. I sit on the couch in silence until Carson walks in.He sits beside me, appearing nervous. He says, “so what job were you hoping to get?”“Anything. I’d prefer something that lets me care for my baby but… anything.”He hesitates more, then says, “recently… recently I was promoted. And I received offers to work with research groups in addition to my current work at the hospital.”“That’s really nice. I’m very proud of you,” I try to keep my voice sweet and not let it show that I had completely forgotten to consider how he might be doing recently.He nods then says, “thank you… I’ll be really busy though. So
Bound by Madness What's Your Plan?
We all stare at Carson in shock.He shuffles awkwardly and says, “I’m a doctor. I easily could’ve visited you while you were in there. I can forge a DNA test too. So long as Tom’s not the father, he can’t do anything.”I open my mouth but no words come out.Anna speaks first, “that’s a great idea!”“Wouldn’t that threaten your job?” Hailey asks.“It shouldn’t. If she consents. The court will have no reason to challenge us if we both agree to be the parents and we have a report. I was never your direct physician.” Carson struggles to meet my eyes but he does try.I hesitate further. The offer is tempting but I have to keep a level head about it.Finally, I say, “the courts might not pursue it but Tom will. Even if we can hide the lie, he’ll come after you just in retribution. He’ll sue me for infidelity. I’d never be able to pay him back. The only options would be prison or staying with him.”“Didn’t you already tell him he wasn’t the father?” Hailey wonders.“Yes, but he didn’t believ
Bound by Madness I Can Be The Father
I take the stairs, still dressed in my night gown, my hair a disaster, covered in the stains of damp and dry dirty water—I race to the base of the apartment building.When I burst into the foyer I run almost instantly into Anna.“Chloe?” She looks me up and down, concern clear in her eyes.“Anna? Anna—help me.”“What are you doing? What are you wearing?”I shake my head and look over my shoulder. There’s no way Tom is letting anyone stay upstairs after I ran. My hope is that they took the elevator and left before I made it down.“We have to go—did you drive?” I check every corner as I pull her towards the glass doors.“I did—Chloe, we need to go upstairs. You need to change.”“Anna, listen to me!” I scream. I don’t want to scream. I want to calmly and maturely tell her what’s going on. But I can’t override the panic. I can’t override the constant frustration of never being heard. Of never being helped.She stills, wide eyed and watching me.I try to take a breath to calm myself but it
Bound by Madness I Didn't Do Anything
We all pause and I feel all the blood drain from my body. Whatever panic I had already been feeling worsens. I feel like I’m falling into a pit, crashing through barrier after barrier but never stopping.I glance up and back at Tom, standing in a suit in the doorway. His eyes are furious. His hands balled in tight fists as he looks between us all. April stands bashful and innocent beside him.When his eyes finally fall back onto me they darken and his jaw locks.I break free – easily now – of the officers and Dr. Hogan’s grasp.I stand and fall back against the wall mounted shelf.“Tom—I didn’t—” I shake my head rapidly and put my hands up. I can’t stop the tears that are falling, “I didn’t do anything—I didn’t do anything—I didn’t…”“Enough,” His voice is lower but just as finalizing. He closes his eyes as he says it as if trying to calm himself.“Mr. Hayden, we’re sorry. We tried to handle your wife as requested,” One of the officers starts but Tom holds up a hand to stop him.
