Chapter 13: Caught In The Act
Toby looked at the both of us with a confused look.
'Why are you in my office?' toby asked.
Max maintained a cool stance. I looked at his hand and didn't see the chip with him.
'You didn't tell me bells here was this pretty' Max said with a smirk.
'oh shut up, her name is Isabella not bells', toby replied.
Max smiled and moved close to me putting his arm around my shoulder. 'ok, pretty Isabella'
'you! why are you here?' he faced me with an angry look.
'I...I um... I heard a noise coming from here so I decided to come and check', I gulped largely.
'whatever is going on here is none of your business, now leave'
I shot him a rueful look and glanced at max, then decided to leave without question. I didn't collect the chip, damn. I went into my room and jumped on the bed sighing. I headed to the bathroom and as I removed my shorts I saw the chip in my pocket, I was so happy when I saw the chip..I started thinking on how I will get the chip on toby, this was a death wish I know but I prefer being dead than living in this hell.
My thoughts was interrupted by the sound of my door... Oh the devil himself came to visit" I said to myself"
What do you want........ before i could complete my sentence toby push me to the wall......
As Toby pushed me against the wall, I noticed his blue eyes were like chips of ice, cold and hard. His jaw was clenched, and I could see the veins in his neck bulging as he tried to control his rage. He was tall, standing at least a foot above me, and I could feel his breath on my face as he leaned in close. I was terrified, but I tried to maintain my composure.... What do you want?'' I forced the words out of my mouth"
You only speak when spoken to, do you hear that'' toby barked"...Now if I ever see you anywhere near my office I will make life a living hell for you, do you understand me?
I was staring at him dumbstruck until he shouted again I said do you fucking understand me? I nodded in agreement, Use your words dollcace.
yes I understand you"I said calmly"
And also how do you know Max? I have no idea what you're talking about," I said, my voice shaking slightly. "Toby's grip on my arm tightened, and I winced in pain. "Don't lie to me, dollface," he growled.
Is none of your business who I fucking talk too dummy, I have no explanation to give you" I said boldly".... Oh wow I think you've forgotten your place here, do you know I can end your pathetic life in a twinkle of an eye?" So mind the words you use to address me... Are we clear?" he growled.
I will rather die than address you appropriately you are nothing but an animal, "I hope you rot and burn in hell you fucking asshole "I said flaming with anger inside of me..
Toby clamped his hand over my mouth, silencing me mid-sentence. "Did I not tell you to watch your words?" he hissed, his voice low and dangerous. "Now, you will listen to me, and you will do exactly as I say. I'm going to make your life a living hell, and by the time I'm done with you, you'll wish you were dead. But death won't come for you, dollface. You'll be stuck here, with me, for eternity until you are ready to tell me the truth then i might decide to help you with your death wish." I was frozen in terror, unable to move or speak. I knew I was in serious trouble.
"Now that is clear, I don't want to see you anywhere near max, Are we clear?" he said ....I did not answer him i was just looking at him
He released me, pushing me away from him with such force that I stumbled backwards and almost fell to the floor. "I said, are we clear?" he growled, his face twisted in anger. I nodded, my throat dry and my voice stuck in my throat. I couldn't bring myself to speak, even if I wanted to. I was too afraid of what he might do if I didn't obey his orders. "Yes," I whispered, my voice barely audible. He glared at me, his eyes boring into mine. "Good dollface," he said, his voice cold and hard.
Under my breath, I muttered a curse, hoping he wouldn't hear me. But he must have, because he suddenly seized me by the arm and pulled me close to him. His breath was hot on my face, and I could smell the whiskey on his breath. "What did you say?" he growled, his eyes dark and dangerous. I was trembling with fear, but I wasn't going to give in. "I said, go to hell!" I spat, my voice quivering. I saw the anger flash in his eyes, and I knew I'd made a mistake.
"I think I've told you before to watch how you use your words when you address me," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "You clearly haven't learned your lesson, and now you're going to pay for it." Before I could react, he had me pinned against the wall, his hand against my throat, squeezing just hard enough to make me feel the pressure without cutting off my air. I struggled, trying to break free, but he was too strong. His eyes were wild, and I knew he was close to losing control.
As Toby held me against the wall, I could feel his body pressed against mine. He was strong and muscular, and I could feel every inch of him. But what caught my attention was his eyes. They were normally blue like the ocean, but in that moment, they were a dark, bottomless pit. I felt a chill run down my spine, and I knew I had to get away from him. But I couldn't move, his grip was too strong. I felt like a trapped animal, and I knew I was in serious danger.
To my surprise, Toby's hand suddenly reached up and cupped my cheek. I froze, not sure what to do. But then, as quickly as he had touched me, he pulled his hand away, a disgusted look on his face. "You're filthy," he snarled, his words dripping with venom. He turned and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. I stood there, my heart pounding in my chest, my breath coming in gasps. I had never seen him like that before.
As I stood there, trying to process what had just happened, my thoughts kept returning to Toby. I couldn't stop thinking about him, even though I knew I should be focused on finding a way out of my situation. But something about him drew me in, and I couldn't seem to shake it. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help it. I was falling for my kidnapper.
But, was he really my kidnapper? Or was there more to the story than I knew? I knew I had to find out. But first, I had to find a way to escape.
And as I stood there, in that moment of uncertainty, a thought suddenly struck me: what if this was all part of some elaborate scheme? What if I was a pawn in a much larger game, one that I couldn't begin to comprehend? As the pieces started to fall into place, I knew I had to find out the truth. But how? And more importantly, what would I do if I found out everything?
And what was I doing in the video Toby showed me?
