Chapter 48 ( Vicky's POV)
Three days.
I was locked in this damned house for three days already.
I gave up hope that Andrew would come and save me.
So I just went along with Nik's delusional story. For now.
But not for long.
I saved myself once and I can do it again.
I was getting tired of being controlled all the time.
What the fuck is wrong with people in my life.
Only Andrew gave me hope that man can still be normal.
But looking at Nik and Rick… Yeah it was not good. It was two bad seeds against one good.
And even the good seed gave up on me.
But it wasn't like I could really blame him.
He saw Nik's game play out right in front of his eyes.
So he probably believed I was just using him, same as Shawna and that first ex what's her name again.
It really was a weird situation I got stuck in, but I had to believe I can get out of it as well.
I just had to keep hoping and praying and wishing and whatever to get out of it with as little scars as possible.
At least physically.
Mentally I was sure I'm already fucked.
Nik was gone most of the time and to his credit he only locked me inside the cottage so at least I could move around it.
Still each time he came around I received a beating for things I had nothing to do with.
So I'm pretty sure you get the picture why I didn't want to be here at all.
I wanted my bed, my apartment and freedom.
But most of all I wanted a chance to explain everything to Andrew.
I was lost deep in my thoughts when suddenly the front door opened and closed with a loud bang.
"You stupid bitch! Where are you?! I swear to God you only make problems even when you are locked!"
All the color got drained from my face. That didn't sound good. Not even a little.
He came around the corner and when I looked at him all I could see was rage on his face.
It would be funny to see his face that was more red than a tomato, but it wasn't because as soon as he saw me he charged my way and grabbed me by my throat.
"I've told you to make that fucking kiss believable didn't I? But you had to ruin everything! Now your stupid boyfriend is looking for me with that pig!"
I knew he was talking about Knox.
And even though I was struggling to breath, the news brought back hope.
Andrew didn't give up on me and that meant he wouldn't come for me.
Now I just had to get myself some more time.
I struggled to speak but I managed to whisper, but if he wouldn't let go I would faint at best.
"You are hurting me Nik. I need to breathe."
"What you need to do is shut the fuck up! You need to do what I tell you, you stupid bitch! You shouldn't make a problem , that was all I asked of you! And you even managed to fuck up such an easy task! You are to blame that I'm hurting you! Someone needs to teach you a lesson! I was kind to you but that ends now! You will start to act like my future wife! Are we clear!?"
He was choking me even harder and my vision began to blur. Tears were streaming down my face and I could almost feel the darkness surrounding me.
But suddenly he let go of my throat and my legs gave up. I fell to the floor only to feel him grab my hair and start me dragging towards the bed.
I was screaming from pain and terror of knowing what's about to happen.
Something similar once happened already.
That time he raped me.
Because in his eyes I was whoring around and since everyone can have me so will he.
It was my first time.
Sure we were together for a long time but at that time I wanted to save myself for after marriage.
And he took that away from me.
And he would do that once more.
I knew what was about to come.
He would rape me once again.
I screamed and thrashed against his hold.
My throat hurt me from his strangling and now screaming.
But I didn't care.
We were on his bed already and he was holding my hands above him and I was trying to kick him wherever I could but he put all his weight on me and a loud slap hit me in the face.
I couldn't even feel the pain anymore from all the beating I received in past days.
He started unbuttoning my jeans and I pleaded with him to let me go, to not do this but he didn't stop.
He just laughed at my face.
When he looked me in the face his eyes were full of hatred and craziness.
It was a dangerous mix and I knew it all too well.
Suddenly it hit me.
Once more I found myself in the same situation I was years ago.
But this time I was determined to not go down without a fight.
I started biting his hands and arms, wherever I could get with my mouth.
He shouted and let me go in shock.
I climbed off the bed as fast as I could as soon as he jumped off me in shock.
I started looking frantically for something to hit him with, so he would lose his consciousness for at least a moment so I could run.
Suddenly the front door burst open once more and I could hear the most beautiful sound calling my name.
I would recognize his name anywhere.
I just started to call back to him, but the second of distraction was enough for Nik to jump behind me.
He grabbed my throat once more and something cold and metallic was pushed against my temple just as the door of the bedroom was kicked open.
There stood Andrew, and the second his eyes found me he relaxed but only for a moment.
Because then he realized the situation I was in.
"One step closer and I will shoot her. I'd rather kill her than live without her. Are we clear?!"
Now this was really a fucked up situation.
How do I get myself in such situations all the time for fucks sake?!
