CHAPTER 3; BROUGHT ANOTHER WOMAN

I awoke at the sounds of someone laughing from outside the room. I was still lying on the floor naked and wet. I forced my bruised body to move and took a pair of clothes on the closet, I've been here in Tyler's apartment almost all the time so I had a lot of clothes left here.

After dressing myself I went to open the rooms' door  and what dawned on me was Tyler's heated session with another woman.

"What do you think you're doing?" I shouted.

Though Tyler hurt me so much and it's impossible to forgive him, I can't deny I still love him. And seeing him making out with another woman while caressing her gently after doing all those things to me broke my heart.

"Why are you here? Did I told you to come out?" He glared at me.

"How could you be like this to me, Tyler?"

"Are you going back in there yourself or I'll make you?" 

"Tyler, isn't that your fiancee? I thought you said she wasn't here?" The woman said.

I looked at the woman and she looks gorgeous, she has a shiny straight hair to her waist, long slender legs and a flawless skin. 

"Fuck! I'm not in the mood anymore, you can leave if you want." Tyler told the woman.

He went to his room with an annoyed face and slammed his room door.

"What's your relationship with Tyler?" I asked.

"Don't you remember me?" She said.

"Have we met before?" I raised my brows. 

"We were in the same department back in college, guess you really forgot since you only had your eyes on Tyler." She said.

"My name's Rhian Cruz."

"Aubrey James," I replied.

"We've been doing this for one and a half years now, Aubrey. And as far as I know, he's been making out with one of your friends at the same time too." She said without batting an eye.

I couldn't fathom the whole situation. So everything we had was really a lie, his been cheating for that long and I haven't even once doubted him.

"So you had no idea, that explains why you're still together." Rhian said.

"You're covered in bruises and you look disheveled, why are you still here?"

"Answer my question first, what's you relationship?" I said.

"Hmmm... F*ck buddies, I guess?" She replied.

"HAH! Leave now, Rhian. I'll call you later." Tyler said leaning on his room door.

I didn't even realized he went out of the room, I was too emmersed with my feelings that I forgot the idea of scaping when he wasn't looking.

"Yeah, I'll have to meet my husband too. See you later!" Rhian said and left the apartment.

"Ha, hahahha..." I laughed like a madman.

"So you've been cheating on me for me a long time, with my friend and a married woman?" I said as the tears stream down my on face.

"I've been sleeping around even when I was still courting you." He said coldly,

"I'm such a fool for trusting you..." I cried.

He took a few steps closer to me and grabbed my hand, which gave me goosebumps and I jumped in surprise.

"D-don't touch me! Y-you're disgusting!" I said loudly as disgust took over me.

"HAHAHA, DISGUSTING YOU SAY? AREN'T YOU MORE DISGUSTING THAN I AM? HUH? DON'T FORGET YOU'RE A MURDERER'S DAUGHTER!" He shouted on my face as he grabbed my hair.

He dragged me to his room holding my hair again and then threw me on the bed.

"You interrupted us so you have to take Rhian's place! Aren't you eager for my touch? Now indulge yourself." 

He forcefully ripped my clothes and started ravaging my body causing more injuries than I already have. I cried and begged him but it only made him more aggressive and annoyed.

After the long period of torture, he finally finished off and left me looking like a total mess on the bed. He went directly in the shower cursing to himself, disgust and hate all over his face. I couldn't move my body, I feel so tired and my body aches all over I just want to close my eyes.

The next morning, I opened my eyes looking the same. Naked, bruised all over, and my hair disheveled. I slowly stand up and took a shower. After taking a shower I took a pair of clothes and went to the kitchen to look for food. My stomach's been grumbling the moment I woke up. 

Tyler isn't around this time of the day, so I could pretty much do everything I want like try to escape but I never once tried to do so since he threathened he'd spread the video he took of me that night.

TWO WEEKS LATER!

A cold hand touched my face as I sleep soundly which made me open my eyes slowly, to see whose hand that was. The touch felt so warm, the warmth that I almost forgot existed.

"Most of the bruises are gone now, just in time." Tyler said and left the room looking so lost.

"What's he up to now?" 

Aftet that night he didn't touch me again nor hurt me. Since that night Tyler has been treating me like I don't exist. Whenever he comes back from his work he'd directly go to his room, take a bath, and sleep, that's how everyday was for the past two weeks. This is actually the first time he's spoken to me for the last two weeks.

THE NEXT DAY

"You're awake! Here! Wear it, we're going somewhere, you have to look pretty okay?" Tyler said throwing me a dress, the one he gifted me on our anniversary. And then he went closer to unlock the handcuffs.

Everytime I sleep at night he'd always cuff my hands to make sure I would try escaping with the video or whatever reason he has.

"Hurry up! We don't have much time." Tyler said after unlocking the handcuffs.

I don't know but I feel uneasy at where we're going, I just know he won't let me go that easily. After all he hated me so much, he spent three years dating me just so he could hurt me.

"And why should I go? After everything you did to me, do you think I'd still listen to you?..." I said in a low voice.

Tyler paused and leaned closer to me, he pinched my chin making me look up to him, his eyes blazing in anger.
