Elena
My body is in a lot of pain. I’m hazy and all I can see is darkness. All I feel is pain and tears are running from my eyes. I slowly squint my eyes open. I’m tied to a chair, that’s why my arms ache like I have a bone fractured.
“What did we do to you? Let us go please!” I hear a woman’s cry. I don’t know what is going on yet. Wait, why are my hands tied and why am I here? In a dark, empty room. Where am I?
“Elena, honey, please wake up.” I hear the woman cries again, calling out my name. In a second, everything flashes back to me.
“Shit! Mom!” I scream as I open my eyes wide, still dizzy. It is possibly the chemical that made me pass out.
My eyes are a little blurry. I can now see my mom from a distance. She’s also tied to a chair, shit. Fear gripped me as I see her weeping and her two hands tied behind the chair.
“Mom!”
“Elena.” she sobs.
“Mom, I’m sorry. I will get you out of here.” I shout back, trying to hide my sobs.
“Elena, I don’t understand what the heck is going on.” She cries out. I anticipated her to be this confused. She knows nothing about the things that has been happening, even the fucking bastard she claimed to love. She knows nothing about him and the things he has been harboring for her… For us.
“Elena. My baby.” She’s crying out, looking down on her stomach. She can’t rub it because her hands are tied, but I know she is referring to the baby in her stomach. I’m in a difficult situation now, I can’t stand seeing mom in that position. For God’s sake, she’s pregnant!
“Mom, hang in there please, I will get you out of here!” I breathe hard. I can also hear her heavy breathing. Mr Callum betrayed my mom. He’s a fucking bastard.
I try to pull my hands out of the heavy rope, but then I hear a loud chuckle from behind me. The person comes out of the darkness, there’s only a little light. It shines on his face and I’m not surprised to see him.
“Give up already, you are all going to die.” He fisted my hair and a loud moan escapes my lips.
“Why are you doing this? Please let us go.” I cry out. I don’t know where I am. The more I look around, the more terrified I get. I’m alone with the monster that birthed the monsters I know. He must be more dangerous. He is a rapist and if anyone could rape someone, then he can do anything.
“I warned you. Why didn’t you just forget about everything if you knew I was the rapist? You brought this upon yourself, Elena.” He brings his mouth close to my face and yelled at me.
I shiver from the fierceness in his words. “You deserve to be punished! You, rapist!” I grit my teeth.
“You know why your father died? Because he was just like this! Stupid as you are, right now.” He brings his face closer again, and my blood runs hot. They killed my dad, I know. Dad couldn’t have died that way. He couldn’t have died from an illness. Tears run down my cheek as I fight to free myself from the rope.
“You will pay!” I grit my teeth harder. My mom just heard what he said and let out a loud groan. My heart squeezes when I realize she is still here. Hearing the harsh words from this disgusting man about her husband hurts like hell.
“Mom please, don’t listen to him!” I spin my head to tell her. She shouldn’t be hearing this now. It wouldn’t be healthy for her and her child. I can’t see my mom getting hurt this way, I can’t stand it.
“Hahaha, you think Mr. Callum loves you? Well no, he plans to make you suffer, make you homeless and abandon you. What makes you think he got you pregnant and sold your house?” Mr. French walks pass me, heading to my mom. Her cry is getting louder. And I feel like squeezing this man in front of me with my bare hands!
“Mom don’t let his words get to you! Mr. Callum doesn’t deserve you after all! I hate him.” I scream. He is trying to hurt my mom and destroy her emotionally. This is the only way to punish her right now. This can’t be happening. She can’t take this.
“H-he doesn’t love me?” Mom raises her voice, squinting her eyes when the tears wouldn’t stop falling from her eyes. I can see her lips shaking and her eyes wet in tears. All I can do is bit my lips hard and squeeze my damn fist.
“He hates you. He hates the Deloris family. Deloris got married to you, instead of him first! He met you first and not your so-called husband!”
“H-he killed my husband because he was jealous? And got me pregnant and made me sell my husband’s house because he wanted to punish me? How sick of him!” a painful laughter escape her lips. It wasn’t a normal laugh. It was a laughter of pain and frustration and how ridiculous everything is for what she is hearing right now.
“You are sick! You both are sick!” She sneers at him.
“Mom, please. Don’t let his words hurt you, that is their plan. You don’t deserve him. You don’t deserve an asshole like him!”
“But Elena, I’m pregnant with him. He is the father of the child I’m carrying right now!” She burst into awful tears. She can’t believe what she is hearing right now. How the heck would she believe that the man who claims to love her, made love to her and got her pregnant is only doing that just to punish her!?
“Mom. Please, don’t hurt yourself. You’re pregnant.” I’m crying with her.
“Well, that’s enough. Good to realize how stupid you have been. And what that stupidity is about to do to you now!” He comes behind me pulling my hair as he sticks out a knife from his pocket.
“Please!” I cry out seeing the knife.
“Please, I know you want me. But please let my mom go. She’s pregnant. You can have and kill me, but please let her go.” I yell through crying.
“Elena, what are you talking about!” she shouts.
“Mom, please.” I stop her, sniffing as my eyes flood with tears.
“You are going to have a painful death as your father had his.” He yanks my red hair again, and I scream from the pain that it brings.
“I would let her go, and nothing is going to save you from me.” He threatens as he shoves the knife into my face again.
A little hint of happiness comes up on my face. He begins to loosens the rope from me. He is done. He grabs my hands behind me and holds them right while he pushes me forward.
“You didn’t untie my mom.” I tell him and I continue to turn to look at my mom. She looks dreadful. She has sweat all over her face. Her hair is a bloody mess. She is hurt as fuck. My heart twists each time I peek at her.
“That’s because I’m letting her go!” He yells.
I arch my brow, stumbling forward as he continues to push me, “Then where are you taking me to and leaving her behind?” I’m confused.
“They are coming for her. Do you think I’m going to leave you here? Mr. Callum’s phone is not reachable. That means my sons are involved in all this. And I need to take you to a place where they will never find you.” He grabs my chin and press it harder as he yells in my face.
“No please let her go!” My mom cried from the distance. He continues to push me forward. I get more afraid. He knows that his sons are coming for me, but he wouldn’t let them find me so he can kill me as he has promised.
“Don’t do this please, the cops will find you!” I scream as my lips go dry.
“You’ve done the worse, Elena. That’s why, you are going to pay. I don’t care about the cops no more.” He grins, yanking me by my hair. He pushes me out of the empty room, he brings me to walk me out. I walk slowly in front of him. Weeping silently as my lips shake.
He pushes me forward then I see a car. He presses the keypad in his left hand and the headlight of the car responded. He throws the keypad into his pocket and grabs my hair again.
“Get in the car!” he yells. I move slowly but he pushes me with a force. I immediately fall into the car, with my face on the back seat.
“Where are you taking me to!” I shout, fighting the urge not to let out the cry or to let him know that I’m beginning to get frightened.
“Keep your mouth shut!” He yells. “No, I would let you speak for now because sooner you will be dead. So, speak all you fucking want.” He says bluntly. I had another lump in my throat as I try to gulp roughly down.
He drives out speedily from that place. He hit the road, driving so fast that I keep hitting my head on the edges of the car. Goosebumps are all over my skin as I have no idea where is he taking me. He wants no one to be able to find me. Not even his sons.
He will kill me for sure. A tear drops from my eyes as I think of my mom again. As I think of the idea of never seeing her again. But a little smile comes across my face, and I know she will be safe and her unborn child, once the Quads arrive and find my mom there.
I love you mom, I whisper as the cry get stuck in my throat. I couldn’t continue to fight it back, I just let it out as I cry out loudly.
