Chapter 8 Hell

• Hailey's POV
• The car kept on moving. I stopped struggling to get out, which I did
• a lot in the start.
• What will I do if I get out? Save Lisa, Sara, and Alex? Well, I know if I get out then they cannot be saved. Don't you think it's worthless?
• I was sitting
• in the backseat and he was sitting in the driver's seat. He was in anger, his grip on the steering wheel was so tight that his knuckles turned white. I closed my eyes and let my tears flow. I didn't know what to do. My mind stops working whenever I'm in such a situation. By such a situation, I mean, that whenever I'm in trouble.
• My thoughts were interrupted. Suddenly a cloth
• covered my mouth. I opened my eyes hurriedly, but I blacked out before I could even see anything.
• I got up. I checked my surroundings. They were beautiful.
• But, wait. This isn't my home? Just then all the memories of my wedding came crushing in my mind. I felt a severe headache. Tears build up in my eyes. But I got up anyway.
• The room was a beautiful one. The bed was king
• -size, the room was painted in red and white. It looked really classy. There was a window somewhat near my height and a door. There was a walk-in-closet, with an attached bathroom and also a balcony.
• I loved it.
• Shut up, Hailey, now you're admiring this rascal's house?
• The one who almost killed your brother?
• The one who ruined your wedding?
• The one who abducted you?
• The one who somehow manipulated Ivan?
• Ivan..
• Tears started flowing again. I didn't know what happened.
• How's my family? How's Alex?
• And Ivan? He did that? I can't believe it! How can Ivan send me somewhere like this? It looked as if... as if he didn't have any problems with this!?
• Suddenly the knob of the door twisted. All my fears were at
• their peak. The same second the door flew open revealing Robert.
• But he was not as I saw him till now.
• He was looking dangerous.
• That dangerous aura of him was killing me.
• "Woke up, huh?" he said and took a step towards me. I went back
• at the same pace. I wanted to speak something, like where's my family, but no words were forming.
• "Answer me when I ask you something
• ," he said in a calm tone looking deep into my eyes.
• This time I really wanted to answer him but no! My vocal box always betrays me!
• "Give the damn answer, Hailey!" he yelled. I took three more steps back. The room was very big, so I haven't hit the wall yet.
• Otherwise, I have seen all those movies.
• Never go near the walls, then!
• "I...
• Y... Yes" I said finally.
• "Good, my dear WIFE
• ," he said. The word wife sounded like the worst thing that ever happened to me.
• Or to be more honest, the worst thing ever happened to anyone.
• I looked at my feet and the tears started dropping on the wooden floor.
• "Don't cry" he said. I snapped at him with my eyes.
• "Don't cry? You did everything to make me cry then why say something like that?!" I
• almost yelled with courage. He's acting as if he doesn't want me to cry.
• "Well, I will spare you this time, but let me tell you about some rules
• ," he said. I looked at him.
• "What's with you and those stupid rules!" I replied
• , more tears threatening to leave my eyes.
• "I'll surely tell you
• Corazon just keep quiet," he said.
• What did he say? Cora- what?
• "Corazon
• ," he said.
• Oh god. He and his mind-reading techniques.
• "Is it a compliment?"
• "Please, please let me visit my family or at least tell me how they are!" I said ignoring his most stupid question.
• "
• Oh, yea sure but first, listen," he said. "Corazon" he added.
• I nodded my head in acceptance.
• "Just some little things :
• 1. Don't mess with me.
• 2. Don't ask
• for reasons for anything I do. 3. Don't ask me anything about why and where or what is
• happening. 4. Follow whatever I say without any questions.
• 5. Don't ever try to escape"
• "What? Are these even rules, I mean you're just maid-zoning me!"
• "That's on you, take whatever name you want, Corazon"
• he smirked at me. “You are my Corazon for me”
• "
• And... Stop calling me that, please!"
• "Why Corazon? I'll call you whatever I want" he said. "You don't have a
• fucking right to tell me that!!" he yelled suddenly.
• What the hell is he? He has a really severe bipolar disease.
• "
• I... I... uh... oh... ok" I said. He smirked.
• "And yes, CORAZON" he emphasi
• zed the word. "Don't you dare stutter from now on" and with that, he left the room.
• I don't wanna say this but,
• Welcome to hell, Hailey.
