Bria POV:

When I opened my eyes again I found myslef in bed but, this time I wasn't alone . Caius hands was wrapped around my waist and my body was pressed against his chest so I could feel the heat from his body and the steady beating of his heart against my back . For a moment I layed there, thinking over all that had happened last night .

When he had pulled up at my church I hadn't the first clue of what he had planned on doing and even if I did , it definitely was nothing close to what he had done , what we had done on that altar last night.  Just when I thought he couldn't possibly get any more corrupted or dark , he had shown me just how far he was willing to go and now I was never going to look at another altar the same after that .

I had seen an entirely different side of him last night and the worse part was that I hadn't only enjoyed it but, if he asked me to do it again I wouldn't hesitate and I didn't know what to make of that. I shifted slightly pulling away from him as I needed to use the bathroom but, his hand tightened around my body and I sighed .

" Caius mi need fi use the bathroom", I said and then screamed as he suddenly flipped me over , pulling me on top of him so that he was underneath me instead.

" yuh know seh wi committed a sin before God last night right? That is a sacred place Caius ", I said wishing I felt as guilty about it as I should have.

He leaned in, his voice low and dangerous, his blue eyes locking onto mine . "Sacred,  hmm?" He let the word rolled off his tongue, his eyes never leaving mine even as his hands caressed my ass underneath the covers.

"Tell me something, Bria. Didn’t your God ask Abraham to sacrifice his only son on an altar? To prove his devotion?"

My eyes widened, confusion flickering across my face as I wondered where he planned on going with this.

"That… that a sumuh entirely different. It was a test of faith".

A dark smile curved his lips. "Faith, devotion… sacrifice. Isn’t that what you just did?", he flipped me over again so that I was underneath him , his bidh towering over me ."You gave yourself to me. Completely. Just like Isaac was offered up, willingly".

My breath hitched, my eyes searching his for an ounce of regret or anything that signified that he felt even the slightest bit ashamed of what we had done but, there was none , infact  he looked proud. "That’s not… that’s not the same thing ", I rasped because his hand was now between my legs as he slipped a finger inside me and I winced because I was especially sore after last night.

He tilted his head , using his fingers on his free hand to traced my jaw, his touch possessive and gentle all at once.

"Isn’t it? You were on your knees, praying for salvation. And I became your god. I demanded your sacrifice, and you gave it to me",  His lips brushed against my ear, his voice a low whisper. "I accepted it".

Then he pulled back and pulled his finger out of me a sly smile on his face and with a wicked gleam in his eyes he asked ,  "So tell me, Bria… who’s really the sinner here?"

I hated the fact that I wasn't able to argue back with him , especially after the way I had acted and even worse just when I had thought he was about to fuck me with his fingers he had stopped and I knew I should have been relieved because it would have hurt but, I didn't care and I felt embarrassed of myself for that .

I got out of bed and he slapped my ass as I did so and I sent him deadly glare which only made him laughed as I entered the bathroom, locking the door behind me . I took my time in freshening up, brushing my teeth , washing my face and fixing my hair and by the time I had came out, Caius was gone , the empty space in the bed where he had laid moments before the only indication of his presence.

I changed into another dress deciding firmly that I was going to have to get some other clothes because I couldn't live in dresses especially not with Caius around.  My phone rang the mintue I finished dressing and I picked it up swiping right when I saw that it was Celine calling.

" yes ?"

" Bria , which part yuh deh ? Mummy just nuh too long carry mi home from eh hospital but, she seh yuh gone back a Kingston but, sumuh nuh right Bria. Mi nuh si daddy fi three days now.  Him did supposed to come a the hospital wid mummy todeh fi carry mi home but, him nuh come and when mi ask mummy she just seh she nuh know weh him deh but, she hope him stay whichever place him deh", she said her tone worried and I gathered that nobody had said anything to her of what had really happened.

" Celine mi nuh know which part him deh but, mi hope a dead him dead fi all I care " , I replied and she immediately asked why and so I explained to her all that had happened but, I didn't corrected her about me not being in Kingston as she was told .

" him kidnapped and traffic girls? but, him a pastor Bria, how mi fi do sumuh like that ? Suh mummy know and she nuh seh nuhun bout it? Instead she a tell yuh nuh fi seh anything? "

" honestly Celine I was just as shocked as you're now but, from mi find out bout the adoption I should have known that him neva si mi as him daughter and mi hate him fi weh him do but, mi nah guh be eh one fi deal out nuh punishment to him , eh same God who him guh before and lie every single day aguh deal wid him eh right way and mummy mus know how she plan fi face God when she dead ", I said .

" suh who find yuh ? How yuh managed fi escape?"

" eh police,  a guess dem put two and two together and found the wear house and dem did rescue some other girls to, a neva mi alone did deh there , look like a years him did a run eh operation", I said even though part of that was lie because Caius had been the one who found me and it was about time I seriously questioned him about that and how he had always manged to know where I was at all times.

She was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone and then asked,

" yuh a come back here?"

" yes of course but, just fi visit and a you alone mi a come fah , mi cah deal wid nuh more lies especially from mummy", I said .

" ok alright,  lata ".

" yes and Celine?"

" yes?"

" remembah yuh cah always call mi if anything alright?"

" yes " and I ended the call and left the room in search of Caius because I had two questions for him. The first one being how he had managed to find me and the second one being if had already killed my dad because he had told me he would and now Celine had just informed me that she hadn't seen or heard from him and neither had my mother.

It was only after I had the room did I actually realised how big this house was. There was another flight of stairs going up to another floor from the one I was currently on and then there was a curving staircase that led downstairs where I presumed he was . How much money did he have ? Not that I planned on taking from him unless he offered of course because student loan debt wasn't going to be easy to pay off .

I found him in the kitchen cutting up seasonings for what looked to be an omelette. He looked up as I entered and smiled then stopped when he saw that I was dead serious. Holding out the knife towards me handle first he asked,

" want this? Just in case yuh feel fi exert some physical violence" and just for the fun of it I took the knife and he simply took another and resumed what he wa doing.

" how yuh managed fi find mi eh night mi fada arrange fi mi get kidnapped and doh lie to mi Caius ". He poured the seasonings he had finished cutting into a bowl containing the egg mixture and started mixing.

" how yuh think?" , he asked as he added cheese into the bowl and a sprinkle of salt and resumed mixing.

" yuh track mi?" , I asked and he smiled.

" close " and realising he wasn't taking me seriously but, rather enjoying my questioning like some form of fun guessing game I gripped the handle of the knife tighter,  my eyes narrowing.  His eyes followed the action and a slow smile curved his lips.

" good , yuh a hold it the way mi teach yuh . Just mek sure yuh nuh miss when yuh ready fi stab " , he said as he turned his back to me and poured the mixture into the pan on the stove . It was like he wanted me to hurt him because who inna dem right mind tun dem back to smaddy who have wah knife and a threaten fi stab dem?

Getting frustrated , I climb onto the kitchen island and lifted the knife aiming it straight at his back but, he spun around swiftly, bowl in one hand whole his other hand expertly twisted the knife out of my grasp. Putting the bowl down he pressed the knife against my throat as he asked,

" yuh really wah know how mi find yuh Bria ? Mi put wah tracker inside a yuh. A shoudah yuh pussy mi put inna but, mi nuh tolerate rape or inconsentual touch and yuh did unconscious suh yuh couldn't gi mi permission but, that a how mi find yuh suh yuh cah try run to eh end a eh fucking earth yuh cah escape from mi ", he seethed his eyes boring into mine  , the insanity and darkness in them made my stomach twisted .  He remained standing between my thighs that dangled off the edge of the kitchen island , even as he teasingly traced the edge of the blade down my throat and down my chest,  over my nipples that stood out through the thin material of the dress I was wearing.

" which part yuh put it?" , I asked and he smiled,  eyes gleaming as he replied,

" if mi tell yuh wah woudah be eh fun inna that?"
