Stuck between two bad boys

I looked at him as he kept trying to prove a point and I was totally disgusted.

“Just listen to me Emily,” he pleaded. “I didn’t want a child then- I wasn’t ready but I’m ready to take full responsibility now. I want you.”

“Can you fucking hear yourself?” There was no way he was expectation that to sound okay to me. He didn’t want me when I was a child and all of a sudden be wanted me back.

“I’m going to report you to the corps and I’ll make sure you rot in jail. I’ll tell the lies I can, I’ll tell them you assaulted me, you kidnapped me and every single disgusting thing about you.”

I kept yelling and he just paused.

“If you’re going to say all those things about me then I’ll tell the corps that Xavier raped you and that he sells drugs in school. Not only that, I’ll tell them your lover, Devin raped a girl few days ago and he’s into drug trafficking too.”

My chest heaved as I heard him call Devin’s name. There was no way I was going to let him say all that to the corps.

“Now guess what?” He asked with a wicked smirk. “Your mother will be left alone and that would kill her slowly. Come on, think of how your mother will feel knowing she has more problems in her life because of a child borne from mistake.”

“Fuck you James!” I yelled and tears rolled down my cheeks. “I hate you so much and you have no idea how I want you to get away and never return.”

I noticed his jaw squeezed and he turned to me kike he wanted to say something. “I want to tell you something.”

I didn’t stop whimpering, I just fixated my eyes on him as he coughed.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I’m going to die soon,” He said. “I have a blood disease and I have only a few months left. Emily I just want you to be with me when I die.”

“Guess what?”

He looked at me with hopes high but I shattered them when I spat on his face. “I wish you would die now! I’d be the happiest person James. You should just die already.”

He swallowed the lump that formed in his throat and used his hands to wipe my Drool from his face. He turned his face back to me and I felt like killing him already.

“Emily you don’t get it, do you?” He sighed. “I’ve been lonely all my life, I have no siblings and all my father’s wealth belongs to me. Emily I was a fucking loner till I met your mom.”

I was sick of bearing his petty stories and seeing him try to justify his actions.

“I’ve met a lot of women okay? I’ve met women who want me for my money and even women who could do anything to see me dead but she was different. She didn’t try anything else to get me for herself. She tried her best to keep part of her deal in the contract marriage till she got pregnant.”

“She got pregnant and she changed- she became clingy, cried over the pettiest things and-” he paused and looked at me.

“And what?”

“And I lost interest. I started wondering if everything was a pretence and she wanted my money too. I got irritated at her till she wanted to leave and didn’t want to take the money. I saw her diary but it was too late.”

“Why are you telling me these?”

“So you’ll know Emily, so you’ll know everything.”

“I really don’t care!” I yelled.

“I still love you and your Mom, Emily. She fell in love during the year of the contract but I still love her.”

Tears welled in his eyes and my stomach twisted in a knot. It was because I felt bad for him but I felt nauseated and wanted to throw up on his body.

“I know you can’t forgive me. I’m sorry and I just want you back in my life.”

With that he turned to leave and I stared at him with scowl. I kept wondering what was going on with my Mom and Dad. I hated to think of how depressed mom would be feeling.

I didn’t realize how much it hurt me to hear about Devin till I thought of it. “How could he be so heartless?” I asked myself. There was no way an assault like rape was going to be easy for her, it would feel like he left his filthy handprint on her. Xavier wasn’t left out in the whole crisis, my family was just in a goddamn mess.

I kept thinking till I fell asleep. My peaceful sleep was interrupted with a hand trail my body. I felt a sharp penetration in my skin and my eyes flickered open. James was sitting beside me and he was with a syringe. I had no idea what he injected in me but the spot on my thigh was hurting.

I didn’t get the signal till he bent over and kissed my forehead and my heart raced with fear. I couldn’t bring myself to think that James was about to rape me. It was all I thought of, I tried to scream but my voice failed me.

He couldn’t do this to me, it would haunt me for life and I’d pick death if it meant I’d get away from this moment.

My thoughts were halted when he stood up and walked to the doorframe. My eyes followed him till I saw him exchange a few words with a lady. She in turned whispered some words back and they gave a nod. James walked out of the room and the lady walked toward me. A blonde woman joined her and my eyes fell to the bag she was holding.

It was my bag and the clothes I wore on the day I was kidnapped. I recognize the face cap too. My eyes welled with tears and I couldn’t hold it back.

“Here, put this on.”

The clothes were washed and ironed and I raised my brows in surprise. Something wasn’t right and I couldn’t figure it. What was James going to do to me?

For a minute I remained quiet and the other lady kept calling my name and asking me to wear the clothes. I gave a nod and took the clothes from her.

I stood to my feet to wear the clothes but my stomach growled and my vision turned blurry.

No way this was happening.

I threw up on the blonde lady and before I knew it, my eyes closed.
