Lucy’s POV

I’m totally unaware that tears have been running down my face unbidden, as my best friend recounts her harrowing experience abroad.

It isn't until she reaches out a thin hand and gently wipes the tears from the left side of my face that I realize this.

“Why? Why didn’t you say anything about him all this while, Amanda? We could have done something about him … made him pay for what he did to you. Hell, we’re still going to do something about him. He can't go scot-free. I just need to tell my parents ... ” I exclaim, my chest hurting very badly.

Amanda was the last person who deserved such a thing. Hell, scratch that! No one deserved such a thing.

“No, no. There’s no need for any of that. I'm just glad that it’s all over. I’m never going back to that country, and I just want to heal in peace. The last thing I want is to have to deal with him.” Amanda quickly shoots down my suggestion.

“But …”

“There’s no ‘but’ about it, Lucy, and I don’t want to hear any more of it, please.

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Three reasons

    Lucy's POVToday is the first day of work after our return from our very successful business trip, and I find myself feeling a little nervous as I head into Nathan's office.Will he act as though nothing happened between us on that trip and carry on as we did before the trip?I get my answer as soon as I walk into the office. Nathan looks up from his desk, his gaze smoldering in approval as he looks me up and down.I intentionally chose this outfit today, because I know very well that it makes me look extra sexy, and seeing the approval in his eyes is very rewarding.“Morning, Lucy. You’re earlier than usual today. You look beautiful as usual.” He tells me, his calm, polite words belying the hot look in his eyes.“Good morning, Nathan, and thank you for the compliment. I woke up early today because I went to bed earlier than usual yesterday, which is why I came in this early.” I reply, feeling unaccustomedly shy.Those words are not exactly true. I had rushed to work because I was eag

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Freedom at last

    Amanda’s POVI kept drifting in and out of consciousness after that. In the moments when I was awake, I tried not to dwell on the pain that engulfed my entire being.It was so difficult to move, to breathe, to do anything at all. I found some more instructions about how to take care of myself that Michael left, and I followed them to the letter, because despite everything that I had been through, I sure as hell didn’t want to die.A week passed, and Michael didn’t show up to check on me. I started to think that he had decided to leave me for dead. It didn’t help matters that my condition was deteriorating by the day. All I did was try to force myself to eat something, even though I had zero appetite and could barely keep anything down, then I would pop painkillers to reduce the pain I was feeling.Soon, I developed a fever. My guess was that I had developed an infection from the makeshift cesarean section that Michael performed on me. Maybe this was what would kill me, and I would ha

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Excruciating pain

    “Fuck! You fucking bitch!” Michael screamed in shock and anger, while I dragged the stick from his neck and went for him again.My blood ran cold when I realized that he was far from being incapacitated. Also, my heavily pregnant body was making it a little difficult for me to move as agilely as I wanted.Adrenaline was pumping through my veins because I knew that this was it. I had to succeed and get away from him, or I was as good as dead, so I wasn’t about to give up, not when my life and that of my unborn child depended on what happened next.I lunged at him with the stick again, but as I did so, I saw to my horror that the stick's pointed end had broken off when I first stabbed him.The broken part of the stick was embedded in his neck, which explained why he wasn’t bleeding as much as he should have.I refused to give up, though, and continued to hold the stick in front of me like a weapon, even though I had the sinking feeling that I was well and truly cooked.For one thing, Mi

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Decision making

    The fact that I had spent such a long time in captivity, yet no one had found me, was both crazy and scary in equal measure. I couldn't stop wondering how Michael managed to explain away my absence to my coworkers and even Lucy, or if anyone even suspected him of having a hand in it.The country was notorious for several kidnappings, especially those of foreigners, so it wouldn't have been far-fetched to think that people who knew me would chalk up my sudden disappearance to being kidnapped by one of the many notorious gang groups that terrorised the area.I wondered most especially if Lucy had any inkling that anything was amiss. Due to the distance between us, our very different schedules, and our different time zones, we could only talk on the phone about once a month. However, we sent messages to each other at least weekly, or at worst, biweekly.It would be easy for Michael to fake being me by sending messages to her to convince her that I was fine, and pretend that I was the on

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Well secured

    Amanda’s POVThe new place was absolutely beautiful, like Michael told me it would be. He moved me there one night, about five days after he first told me about it. He also spent that night with me, and the next morning, he allowed me to go around the place to check it out.To my utter dismay, it was well-gated and had super-high walls with barbed wire that prevented escape. Even if I somehow managed to climb up the fence, dropping down on the other side was going to be a suicide mission because of the far drop to the ground.Of course, Michael would have taken precautions to make sure that I wouldn't escape. All the same, I refused to give up hope, and I intended to escape one way or the other. As though he knew what I was thinking, Michael spoke at that instant.“Don’t even think about escaping because …”“What? Why would I think about that? I’m grateful that you brought me here and won't tie me up any longer. This cabin is very spacious and is just like a regular house. You even g
