Kent decided to report a murder and kidnapping case for Eloisa. He also added an estafa case for faking their marriage and adoption papers about Lucy's son, Austin.
Eloisa had no idea that the police is now on their way to get her.
She was at the mansion and trying to call Brian to find Kent because she noticed her picture frame was being touched by someone.
“Hello, Brian. Call Rey and Niel to hide. I got caught!” she walked back and forth inside her room while putting her dresses inside her suitcase.
"What? Eloisa, I thought you burned them? How did you become so careless?” Brian got mad and almost yelling on the other line.
Eloisa's body was shaking that she can't control it. She's afraid that her father will kill her if he found out what kind of daughter is she.
“I'm sorry but Kent took all our evidence! Let's talk later. I will finish packing to get out of here too." She ordered them to hide.
She quickly looks for Dilan inside his room but he's not there.
"Baby? Dilan, where are you?” she was looking for him anywhere.
She started to get mad.
“Dilan! If you won't come out, I will lock you in your closet. I will count to three!” she shouted.
“One...”
“Two...”
"If I say three, you will come out or else, I will do it!” she warned Lucy's son.
“Thr—"
She didn't finish counting when Kent appeared at the main door while carrying Austin. Austin was their son's real name. It was Eloisa’s choice to call him Dilan because she hated to call him Austin.
"Honey! Where did you go? I was looking for you and Dilan,” she said while coming towards them but Kent quickly put Austin behind him.
His calm gaze becomes fierce.
“He's Austin, Eloisa, and he's not Dilan! You can't hurt him anymore! Officers, you may come out!” he ordered the police to get out from their hiding place.
Eloisa looks terrified after seeing them.
"What is this? Why you brought the police inside our house? Kent!” she screamed while four police officers hold her and cuffed her hands.
“You're under arrest for murder and estafa case, Ms. Sherlock. You can bring your attorney to the police station.”
She struggled while calling for Kent's help.
“Honey, what is this? What did I do wrong? I will call dad and you will regret this!” she warned Kent.
He just stared at her while holding Austin with him. He's crying and he was calling his mom.
"Daddy, what happened to mommy? Why did they take her from us?” he asked his dad with his soft sobs.
He wrapped his arms around his son to help him to stop crying.
“Everything will be okay, son. I promise." He whispered in his ears and he called Cassandra to take Austin with her first while the police interrogated Eloisa at the police station.
While everyone was focusing on Eloisa, Lucy was still looking for help inside the mansion. Gale had locked her inside her room, and she couldn’t understand why he did that.
Lucy POV
Ten Hours Later...
The clock is ticking but no signs of hope for me. I curled my body into a ball and wrapped my arms on my knees. I didn't know that Gale will do this to me. I thought he's trying to help me but why everything we schemed for five years will put to waste? He's the one who lied to me.
My eyes were swollen from my endless crying. Kent doesn't know about this. I bet he was waiting for me at the airport. Maybe a miracle might happen, and someone will come to save me. I tried to calm myself when I heard heavy footsteps of a man's shoe approaching towards me. It's Gale with his devilish gaze.
"Hello, Lucy. How's your life here? Did I startle you?” he came closer and skid the hair strands covering my face.
I felt gross in his touch. I spit my saliva on his face.
“Asshole! Why did you lock me in here? What do you want from me, Gale? I thought we both understood the contract. So why?” I yelled at him.
He narrowed his eyes on me and punch me on my face. Blood started to spew from my mouth. I tasted the fresh blood on my lips.
"Don't call me asshole! I change my rules. Have you forgotten the 10th rule, Lucy?” he told me while cupping my face tightly.
I winced in pain with my cuts in my mouth. I ignored his monstrous look and I stayed silent. My eyes look at him full of hatred and anger.
“The 10th rule was a punishment to the traitor, and you must abide by those rules! You slept with Kent, right? You're mine, Lucy!” he keeps repeating the word mine towards me.
I can't understand what he's telling me.
I chuckled while staring at Gale.
"You love me? Really? What about Eloisa? Was she your first love, right? I know your secrets Gale! You can lie to me all you want, but I'm not a foolish girl anymore." I said and laughed at him again.
I saw how he tightened his jaws. My eyes widened when he took off his belt from his pants.
"What are you doing, Gale? Please, no!!!” I screamed for help when he raised it in the air and landed it on my face.
“How dare you laugh at me!" He said while hitting me with his belt.
It was a hard blow and with every strike, my face goes red like blood and several cuts were visible. It turned numb on his every blow and I started to feel hazy until my vision turned blurry. If I die tonight, my baby won't see and recognize me anymore. I feel so bad if I think about it.
I heard Gale calling my name, but I feel weak and about to sign off from this world.
"Lucy, wake up! Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Lucy, please wake up!” he keeps calling my name until I felt cold water hit on my face.
I quickly opened my eyes and looked around me to see if my prince charming came but nothing changed. I was still inside this room and locked with Gale. I was now lying on my bed, but I was shocked to see myself bound in chains.
“I'm glad you're finally awake. It's midnight and I thought you would sleep forever. Here. Eat your dinner, honey." He is now acting as my real husband.
"Don't come near me! You're cruel than your brother! Just let me go and I will not tell them anything." I am begging him to let me leave, but he wouldn’t listen.
He sat beside me and took a spoonful of rice and chicken and forcibly filled my mouth on it. I didn't want him to hurt me again, so I accepted it. He smiled because I obeyed him.
"Good girl. If you finish this, I won't hurt you again." He told me and I just nod my head.
After my late dinner, he unlocks the chains in my hands and feet.
"Because your good tonight, I will sleep beside you." He said and I started to get scared.
"What? I promise I won't go anywhere. Just let me sleep alone in my room." I told him but he quickly pinned me on the mattress. He clamps my arms, and he climbs on top of me.
"Why? We're a couple in everyone’s eyes. If I wanted to fuck you, you can't say no! I can fuck you any time since I am your husband!” he shouted at me and I started to fight back when he slammed his lips on my neck.
He's going to rape me. I keep screaming but when his fist hits my belly, I stop and whine in pain.
“No one will help you, Lucy. It's midnight and Kent won't come here to save you! What If he just uses you again and he was peacefully sleeping with Eloisa", he mumbled but I don't believe it.
I bite his arms and jump from the bed.
"Ahhh!!! Come back here! You can't go anywhere!” he called me.
I can't think of anything anymore but to escape from this psychopath.
I search for my keys and my phone inside my bag, but he keeps them.
“Shit!” I am pissed.
I saw him running downstairs with a gun in his hands. I was terrified. It's the end for me. I am going to die tonight.
