Chapter Eighty-seven
Third pov
Elena found herself disoriented in time, reasonably estimating it had exceeded twenty-four hours with still no sign of Mac. Her stomach rumbled incessantly, and her mouth remained parched.
Seated by the chair, she pondered the uncertain moment of her eventual escape.
She heard something making her jolt up on the chair. She looked in front of her to see a cockroach running across her legs causing her to shake it off.
The cockroach refused to let go and climbed even further onto her body causing her to scream in fear.
“What the hell are you screaming for?” The first guard came through the door rubbing his eyes.
He probably had been asleep and her scream woke him up.
He walked in further in the room before stopping on his tracks to notice the cockroach on her body and he went and got it off from her and ate the creature causing Elena to almost puke at the sight of it.
He went behind her and Elena heard the ropes being caught off her hands “Don’t even think of running the moment I release this rope or else I won’t hesitate to slit your throat” he warned.
She nodded as he dragged her out of the room. He walked her up the couple of stairs before stopping at a door.
“Go in there and take your bath” he opened the door and shoved her inside.
She quickly shut and locked the door and turned around to see if they had any escape windows so she could escape. She wasn’t trying to stay in this place for the rest of her life, she needed to escape from the psychopath.
Once she realised there wasn’t any window in the bathroom, she stripped out her clothes and looked at herself in the mirror to see tears stains down her cheeks, she had light bags under her eyes and her wrist was bruised as a result of the tight ropes.
She turned on the shower until it was steaming hot, she took her hairs out its ponytail before stepping in. There was nothing but men’s soap making her sigh.
After she scrubbed her body a couple of times, she washed her hair twice before stepping out cutting off the water. She wrapped a towel around her body. She looked in the mirror and started combing her hair back, she was going to let her hair air dry.
“Hurry up damn!!” He shouted at her. She rolled her eyes, opening the door slightly and stocking her head out.
“Care to give me clothes” Elena asked and the man, who was asked to look after her sighed and had some clothes in his hands to which he gave her to put on.
She shut the door, dropping the towel from around her and slid on the black t-shirt and boxers. She looked at herself one more time in the mirror before stepping out.
“Come on” He grabbed her hand, leading her the same way back to the room where she was held hostage.
“I don’t want to go back there” she whined trying to pull her arm out of his tight grip. She was scared of going back there because of the cockroach incident and her thought being that there were probably more cockroaches left there.
He didn’t care and continued dragging her ignoring her whining. Once they got to the same dark room he opened the door trying to push her in but she wrapped her arms around his torso holding on as tight as she could.
“Let go of me” He tried to get her off him but she wouldn’t budge.
“No, please don’t make me go in there. I will do anything” She said anything that came to her mind.
“Anything?” He looked down at her with a smirk plastered on his face. She immediately regretted what she had said but still nodded her head. He chuckled before turning around with her still wrapped around him, closing the door.
“Kiss me” the guard said, catching her off guard. She scrunched her face letting go of him. Why would she kiss this man? She wondered to herself upon looking at his ugly face.
“You want me to kiss you?” She pointed to herself then back to him just to make sure they were on the same page.
“Mhmm. Unless you want to go back into that room filled with cockroaches” He said with the same big smirk on his face. “It is your choice” he shrugged his shoulders.
Elena sighed, turning around giving herself some pep talk before turning back around facing him. She cleared her throat before speaking.
“Okay I have decided to kiss you” He pulled her towards him smashing his lips on hers. He wasn’t as aggressive as she thought he would be. Instead he was much of a slower kisser. He slid his tongue across her bottom lips asking her for an entrance but Elena kept her mouth closed tight.
As his hands were about travelling down to her down part, she shoved him off and also kneed him in the process before running out the door.
She sprinted at her maximum speed, disregarding her unfamiliarity with the entire building, and persisted in running without hesitation.
When she turned back, she saw the man in hot pursuit and he was even gaining more advantage in the process.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
She increased her pace but he was faster.
She noticed a door by her right which had lights from the rays of the sun and she smiled to herself knowing that It was her escape route. She was about to open the door, she felt a huge body land on top of her causing her to fall to the ground and she winced in pain as she had fallen on her rib.
“You stupid bitch!” He exclaimed, landing her a big slap on her cheek.
“I warned you that if you try anything funny, it would be your death trap, now you are in for a long ride” He started dragging her back to where she had been held hostage.
