“Honey what did you say, how did she know about that huh?I know that was a sad and disgusting history of ours,and I won’t ever want that to come to life,it just brings back memories that would hunt me all over again, if people were to know they would definitely mock me”.Carl stood in the middle of the hallway as he watched his wife express her emotions,His hands shook, his voice barely above a whisper.“Yes honey that’s what she wants me to do, you know this is her plan and I don’t know why she wants us to suffer like this”.Mia blinked once, then Twice.Then her eyes flared, sharp and wild like a storm about to break.“Rape?” Her voice cracked, but not from fear but rage boiled beneath it.Carl took a step forward, “but honey I promise, I didn't agree to anything”“Don’t” she cut him off, her voice shaking.“Don’t even try to justify anything, after all you cheated on me with her, while you met with her behind my back!”“Mi…Mia, please honey don’t talk like this to me, it hurts
Carl stood in the hallway, just outside the living room while Mia continued to eavesdrop on him and Delilah’s conversations.The soft hum of the tv drifted from inside, and he could hear liams gently voice and he assumed he was speaking with his mum.But in Carl's hand, the phone was pressed to his ear like it weighed a thousand pounds.His whole body was tense and his knuckles white as he held the device in a death grip, while delilah’s voice in the other end sounded so calm and devious,Because she was no more than a devil.“I have your daughter, Carl, “she said andtime stopped as the walls of the hallway felt like they were closing in on him.Carl’s mouth went dry“What?” he whispered, barely able to speak at first. “What the hell are you talking about”Delilah chuckled, the sound soft and terrifying.Fiona your precious little girl, she’s with me.But she’s safe with me at least…for now if I may be precise.His stomach dropped hid breath hitched.He turned his head, staring blan
Carl sat on the edge of the couch, elbows on his knees, and his head down.The living room was too quiet except for Liam’s soft sobs as he curled up beside his mum,Her hand ran through their son’s hair in slow, trembling strokes, but her eyes were vacant,red if some may say, and distant to be precise.Fiona’s name hadn’t been spoken in the last hour,Not because they weren’t thinking about her, but because saying it out loud hurt too damn muchCarl clenched his jaw, eyes locked on the floor.How did this happen under my own skin?He had replayed it a hundred times already. The driver, the man.Liam’s tears, and the last part fiona was kidnapped and was really gone.Mia hadn’t even cried, She just sat there,like her soul had walked out the door behindtheir daughter.Liam shifted, pressing into Carl’s side for comfort,and carl wrapped an arm around him, holding him close.He needed to be strong for Liam and Mia.Carl pulls his wife as well in for a comfort alongside Liam.For a mo
falls down on his back,All he thought of was to runaway,Carl had already frightened the daylight out of him, people stared and tried to get him up but he refused,“You were screaming for help not to long ago now you are behaving adamantly, just go to heck”, said angrily by one of the strangers that walked passed by the street.“Ohh my goodness I gotta go,The young man stood and began to quickly run away the moment he sighted Carl and his son coming.“Hey stop there am not gonna hurt you I promise, I just want to give pay your money, apologies and also thank you for bringing my son back to us safe and sound”, Carl says with a forced grin on his face.“No you can keep the money, as long as I knew that I meant no harm am good sir, the you cab driver pushes the hand Carl brought forward to give the man his money.“No please accept it, and if it is about what happened inside early don’t mind me I guess I overreacted just a little bit, Carl says.Carl stood at the edge of the driveway, w
But the man refused to let him go, “you are gonna get hit,We can’t catch up with them, it’s to late.“Let me just take you home okay, then there will still be time for your parents to go to the police station and file a case with the description you will be providing.“Sir, Liam said with his voice low.The man pulled him into his not so new kind of car and took him home, the fear of getting himself in trouble.Both Liam and the taxi driver arrived at the mansion and Liam busted through the door, grabbing Mia and Carl’s attention, Mia’s heart skipped when she saw her son in a distressed look and their personal driver and Fiona were nowhere to be found.“Liam where is your sister, and why didn’t you wait for the driver to go pick you both from school, Carl asked.Before Liam could utter a word, the taxi driver walked in behind him inorder to collect the his money, Carl who had already began to assume the worst, and without any hesitation he went ahead and grabbed the young man’s colla
“What do you mean, she can’t be sick she has a childYour child I mean” Mia’s forehead folds as she continued to speak“She is sick and if not attended to properly she could lose her life”“Am sorry Aiden but that’s not my problem, that’s between you and bunnyI just want out of all this okay, Mia says“Why what’s wrong I thought you really cared for and that you two were really closeSo why did your tone and the way you were speaking to me change as soon As I mentioned bunny’s name”, Aiden curious, he asked in order to clear the doubts he had in his head.“There’s a lot you don’t know about, and I don’t think I would ever tell anyone about what happened or what she tried to do to me,I still have some respect for her and wouldn’t want to spoil her name just because of her baby”mai uttered while she began to fold her hand in to a fist.“You can tell me Mia, remember we use to be close friends in the past, but just tell me since I was once bunny’s husband, so I demand you tell me”“Sh

“Ohh my goodness”Carl sat across from Delilah, his fingers clenched around the edge of the table.In Carl’s mind, there was only silence a deep, suffocating void as Delilah leaned forward and whispered the words that shattered his entire world, words that made his dark past flash before his eyes“I want you to tell the whole world what you did to Mia before you married her” she said, her voice smooth almost amusedDelilah wasn’t doing that to get justice for mia or anything, but just to embarrass him or even get him arrested for a while.And anyways that could also make his business go down the drain as well,But Carl was left speechless for seconds and couldn’t think straight at the moment“Tell them how you raped her, you were really a monster”.Carl's breath caught in his throat.His entire body stiffened, and for a moment, he could only stare at her, his pulse hammering in his ears The air felt thick, suffocating.Then, barely above a whisper he choked out, “why will you tell me
For a second there Mia’s heart nearly skipped a beat, her eyes widened and she tuned sharply to look at him, her stomach twisting at the same time.But before she could react Carl’s entire demeanor collapsed. His breath hitched sharp and uneven like he had been thrown into ice water, his hands shut up to his ears and pressing against his skull as if he was trying to block out a deafening noise only he could hear.“No…no no no”, Carl muttered under his breath, and shook his head violently. His chest rising and falling really quickly.Mia’s own pulse was racing nkw and her eyes darting between Carl and the phone phone still vibrating on the nightstand.“Carl”, she called softly stepping closer it seemed he didn’t hear her“Carl” she called again and firmer this time, reaching out to touch his armHe flinched, his entire body jolting as if her touch burned.Mia swallowed hard and turned her attention to the phone, the screen was still lit and the call coming throughBut when she saw the
