Stepping away, I took in the room, feeling angry that he had to ling me to a place like dus. I should have listened in Pyan and remained in New York, but now I will have to put everyone

I kept knocking and banging until I eventually got tired. My lips cobbled as backed the door and glided down 

How long have I been here? How long have I been lying unconsus here? The tears rolled down and I quickly wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks. 

After a few minutes on the floor, I heard approaching footsteps Wiping my eyes quickly, I stepped away from the door and waited for anyone who was coming through. 

The door opened and the devil himself walked in. he halted whigh he saw me, probably surprised to see me awake: “Hello, sleeping beauty” He greeted me with a wide smile. “I didn’t expt to see you awake. “Are you hungry?” 

Is he mad? “you expect me to be hungry in such a situation?” I sipped at him. “if the case was reversed Jake, would you feel hungry or have a single appetite?” 

Rolling his eyes, he walked over to the bed which looked like it id been infested with bed bugs, and sat down. “Have a seat, 

Lily” 

I glanced at the unlocked door. “Don’t even think of it Lily,” Jake untered with nonchalance. “You will need a car to get out of here and I have the key in my pocket, so have a seat like a gool girl before I lose my mind right now” 

I weighed my opinions at the moment and running won’t end ny favor right now. I made my way to the far end of the bed and sat down. “What do you want?” 

He smiled. “Going straight to the point are we?” he asked before “Thanks to you and your husband, I can’t move around freely,

“Really?” I scoffed. “I would rather walk my death than have you leave the country, Jake, that is how much I despise you” 

Nodding, he dragged his feet over to the door and locked it. “People are quick to talk about death and how quick they want to embrace it, but sometimes you would want to think of the process.” He stopped right in front of me and smiled, leaning

forward, “Do you think will give you an easy death Lily?” 

I swallowed heavily which made him laugh. “I thought so too.” Taking a step back, he picked up the document I didn’t realize he even come in with. “You are going to read this word to word.” 

Jake reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. “Read this word–to–word while I record you.” He lifted his phone indicated I go on with the reading. 

I glanced through the paper and glared at him. “You are stupid to think I am going to drag Ryan into this.” 

Sucking his cheek, he closed in on me, grabbed my hair abruptly, and pulled me closer to his face. “Don’t Fucking get o nerves Lily, you were a sweet girl who for a moment made my heart beat for a moment, push my button one more tim You’ll hate me more than you do right now.” 

“I am not reading this.” I hissed, spitting on his face. “Do your worst!” 

His jaw gritted as he stared at me with anger. Unable to hold in his anger anymore, he slapped me hard across the cheek sending me stumbling to the floor. 

Squatting to my level, Jake snatched my cheek and squeezed hard. “Will you still have this bravery and defiance if I deci to bring your triplets into this?” He spat.
