Sophia shook as she saw blood. What were blood stains doing on his collar and what had happened to have caused them to be there in the first place ?"What are you doing here?" He asked her again. Sophia's subconscious mind came back to reality as she shook her head and blinked. William was walking slowly towards her and she started to move too. He looked furious enough to snap her neck."I asked you a freaking question, Sophia!. Tell me, what are you doing here?!!" He roared again."William, I can explain. I was on my way down to get a drink. I was thirsty and then, I heard a phone ring. I thought it was mine but when I checked, it turned out to be coming from your study and that is why I came here. To find out what was ringing." she said as she shivered."What right do you have to come into my study because you thought you heard something?!! How dare you" he ran towards her and caught her by the arm. His grip was tight and grew tighter as she struggled to set herself free. William g

Sophia was halfway through the room on her knees when Andrew knocked on the door. She heaved a sigh of relief as she heard his voice. He was her saving grace front that moment."I looked for you in your room earlier and you weren't there. Why?" William asked with a commanding tone.He had pushed the sheets off him as he stood up from the bed and walked over the bed. He did not even bother to tell Sophia to stand up or adjust herself when he swung open the door. As he swung the door open, Andrew caught a little glimpse of Sophia in her crawling position before she immediately adjusted herself and sat well on the ground."Come in. You are beginning to get on my nerves these days" he said in a more commanding tone. Andrew walked in and gently closed the door behind. He smiled as he looked at his cousin."Cousin… you need to take it easy. Work has got you stressed and you're taking it out on me. Take it easy.. how about a drink afterwards" he said to his cousin with another smile.Hmmm. W

Sophia nodded to what Andrew had told her to do as she picked herself from the floor and ran out the door. She was out of the door and running out into the street. Sophia was determined to run as far as she could. She could not bear to come back to William's house, especially after what she had done to William. She was sure he would punish her in far worse ways than he usually did. This time he could even kill her.Sophia was running on the road as she tried to avoid cars and people. She was sure she had put some distance between her and William's house when she turned to look back. It looked a little far from her. She turned back to focus on her way as she tried to run further.Sophia ran past roads and was now in a subway station. She was barefooted and ran through the stairs when a nail pricked her toes and entered into it.She tried to look at it as she lifted one foot in her hand and held it up to her face. She saw blood gushing from her toe and was trying to clean the wound with

Sophia walked into the restroom with the shopping back William had given to her in her hand. She closed the door behind her and sighed as she wondered what she could do to escape William. She looked around the restroom, it looked neatly arranged and beautiful but she wasn't in the mood to appreciate aesthetics as of that time. She needed to escape.Sophia got on the toilet seat as she tried to have a look at the air vents. Hopefully, she would see one and she could fit into it. The toilet seat was slippery and she nearly fell but she wedged herself well and balanced properly. She reached up to the ceiling and could not reach it as she let out a grunt."What do I do?" She muttered to herself. She looked around for something to lift her higher but there was nothing and suddenly, she heard a knock on the door."Honey. Are you done already? We need to get home fast. I have a meeting after dropping you off" William said as he knocked on the restroom door again. Her heartbeat quickened. It

William dropped Sophia from his shoulder onto the chair that sat in the room she had just seen."What is this place?" She said to him while he was carefully helping her sit."This is your new room" he answered back. "You are my property and I decide how you live, eat or breathe or sleep and right now, after what you did to me, I decided to make this room yours. You are forbidden from going back to that room. You will sleep here and live here. You are forbidden from leaving this room and having any contact whatsoever. I have everything you would need inside here. If you leave, I will kill you" he said to her.Sophia looked around the room. It was a large room. Larger than the other room he had kept her in but it was not as large as his own room. The curtains were red and so was the painting in the room. Every piece of furniture was red, from the bed to the sofa to the table and rug on the ground. Sophia looked up and found some weird clippings on the wall."What is that?" She pointed t
