Chapter 105: With The Undertaker

Sharon was back on the bed and she opened her eyes, only to be met with the revolting sight of Addicus' hideous face.

She flinched in fright and crawled away from him to the corners of the bed.

"Hello, my dear! I'm glad to see you awake."

Sharon quickly got off the bed and darted for the door. She reached it, but it was locked. She hit on it repeatedly, desperate to get out. There was no out for her. She was trapped...*with* ***him.***

"How rude of you, Sharon! All those years with me and you seem not to have learned any manners. I greeted you with a nice hello, and you couldn't even say it back."

"Where am I? Where have you brought me?"

Sharon was still glued to the door as she demanded answers. The door was her only friend, in a world full of terror.

"You still haven't said hello to me. Aren't you happy to see me again?"

"Stop playing with me and tell me where I am!" Sharon raised her voice.

His smile quickly disappeared after her outburst. He stood up from the bed and moved closer to her. She stepped away from the door, trying to get away from him.

"You want to know where you are? Have you forgotten your home for the good part of twelve years?"

Sharon realized that she was back in his mansion in Denver, but something still didn't feel right.

"Which room is this?" She asked.

"One of my many secret rooms,"

"Why am I here, Addicus? We had an agreement. You said you would leave me alone to live my life and now, you kidnap me and lock me up? Why?"

"I completely remember our agreement, but it seems like you were the one who forgot. Your friend's brother showed up at my company and accused me of his sister's death, calling you out as his witness."

As he moved closer to her, she moved away. This was recurring as they spoke.

"I told Mrs Karen the truth about her daughter's death because she deserved to know. It's not my fault that her brother decided to confront you about it," Sharon claimed.

"Do you think you're smart or that I'm stupid? You intentionally broke the terms of our arrangement and decided to use that idiot as an excuse. You must have known that her family would try something if they knew the truth and yet, you told them anyway. You didn't hold up your end of our deal and now, you'll pay for it... in full."

"What are you going to do with me?"

"I'm going to give you a beautiful wedding night, one that you'll never forget," Addicus said.

Sharon could only guess what he meant by that. ***Did he mean that he'll force himself on her?*** He couldn't, could he? Would he? Sharon wondered with lingering fear.

"I'll have someone bring you breakfast and I advise you to eat. You'll need all of your strength for what's to come," Addicus said and began walking away.

"You won't get away with this! The police will be looking for me and you're the first person they'll suspect," Sharon said to him.

Addicus stopped and turned around to face her.

"No one is going to come here looking for you because everyone thinks you're dead and your body was lost in the river,"

"The police may choose to believe that, but Peter won't. He'll find me and he'll kill you,"

AAddicus could see the fire in her eyes, and his next words were the extinguishers of her flaming hopes.

"Didn't you know? Your husband is dead."

"That's a lie!" Sharon replied immediately.

"It's not! My men found him by the river and put a bullet in his head. No one is coming for you, Sharon; not the police and most certainly not Peter," Addicus said and went outside, slamming the door shut and locking it.

Sharon collapsed on the bed. *He was lying! He has to have been. There was no way Peter was dead. It couldn't be true.*

Some minutes later, Will walked in with a tray of food and a bottle of water for Sharon. He placed it on the bed and as he turned around, Sharon threw the meal on the floor. Will didn't like that but, he had been instructed to make sure that Sharon ate.

"I'll bring another plate,"

"And that one will also end up on the floor!"

"You should eat. Putting up a fight will do you no good. You'll only end up angering him more than he already is. I'll bring you another plate!" Will said and left the room.

************

Addicus sat in his study with a glass of whiskey in his hand. He was thinking about what to do with Sharon now that he had her.

***"You know what you must do to her! Exactly what I taught you."***

*It had literally been decades since he heard her voice, but now, she was back to taunt his spirit, and haunt his life.*

"Why are you here?" Addicus asked.

***"I'm always with you, Addicus. I'm a part of you and the only reason I'm here right now is that you were thinking about me and everything you learned from me and you're going to do it to Sharon."***

Her voice was so seductive, it sent chills down his spine...but he remained calm, lost in the hateful abyss of his damaged mind.

Will brought another meal for Sharon. He left it on the bed and Sharon didn't knock it away this time. He left her alone and she stared at the food. She didn't want to eat, although her stomach was begging for it. She didn't want to submit in to him, in any way.

She took the bottle of water and drank from it, but she left the meal untouched. She noticed the spoon and decided to use it as a weapon, but when she picked it up, she was disappointed.

"Plastic! Practically useless," she growled and threw the spoon away.

That's when she felt a little lightheaded, and then, a lot. The room started spinning and Sharon recognized what was happening to her. It had happened before. Another sedative! The water...

Time did a summersault in Sharon's head and when she awoke, she was tied to the posts of the bed. Addicus was standing right ahead of the bed, staring at her, with wicked intent behind his eyes. Her hands were spread and so were her legs, tied to each of the four posts of the bed.

"Untie me this second, you animal!"

"But I promised you a beautiful and unforgettable wedding night! And I'm about to fulfil that promise," Addicus said and climbed on top of her.

"No! No! Get off me!"

Her screams were as loud as a thunderous roar of lightning, for it seemed like her night was about to get stormier.

"Fighting is futile, my dear. Today, you will be mine," Addicus said and grabbed Sharon's head, leaned in and kissed her forcefully.

She bit his lips and he bled. He touched his bleeding lip with a finger and smiled at Sharon.

"Now you've gotten me even more excited."
