I gently opened the door...
"Hey..where are you going?"
I froze in place and quietly turned around.
Oh no...
Nate rubbed his tired eyes and stared at me with a mild expression. As he went down the stairs, I loosened my grip on the door.
He then drew close towards me and held my hand. Gazing into my eyes, Nate leaned in and kissed me.
He then let go and asked again, this time in a whisper: "Where were you going?"
I told him I was going for a walk around the neighborhood.
As soon as I finished speaking, Nate placed a finger on my lips and softly shushed me.
Had me by both hands now and led me to the living room where he sat me down. I thought I was in huge trouble as he sat across from me.
"So, you were going for a walk, huh?" he asked softly, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
I nodded and began to stand up when Nate told me to sit down.
This is it.. I will be forever trapped in his walls, unable to escape...

He then stood up, heading to my direction and placed his hands on my shoulders. Shaking in fear, I cringed as he leaned over.
The thought of him being around me lurked in my head, hidden away in the shadows, and would now appear two or three times per day.
Nate then placed his hand on the back of my head, rubbing the spot. Tears now began spilling out as he then moved his hand and face to my neck.
"S-sir..please don't.." I said, my lip quivering in fear aside from crying silently. He then shushed me and continued placing his hands on me.
Oh my God.. Please no!! I never wanted this! I had read a bunch of kidnapping stories but I never expected this!
Nate then started playing with my hair, twisting it around his fingers.
"Nate, please let me go.. Please," I begged once more.
He looked up from me and replied, "I've tried,"
I held my breath as he then faced me. Fear took over me and I began to tremble. Fresh new tears clouded my eyes as he stood over me.
"I've tried.. I've tried taking care of you, Anna. And what do I get?" Rage now was beginning to take control of him. "Huh?? I let that lie slide through my hand & this is what I get??" He yelled, now slapping me with his hand. Each slap felt like a knife targeted at me.
"This is how you repay me?! By sneaking out on me?!" He demanded, rage in his eyes.
I shrunk back in the chair, cowering at his every word. My cries had slowed down to a whimper as he continued lecturing me.
"You and I are going to have a talk when you get up in the morning, understand?!" he growled, getting off me. Still shaking, I stood up and went to my room.

As soon as I awoke, my face was still stinging from last night. It was 10:27 am and I knew my fate was being held downstairs.
