Want to Play A Game

I can’t believe that Adam would go this far. I really thought he was going to hurt me. When he walks out the door, I lock it, I grab some of my things and I wait until I know he should be gone. I then ran away far enough from my apartment building I then called my mother.

As I wait for her to answer, I’m scared to tell her the truth, but I need help, and she is the only person I have. I don’t want to endanger her, but I can’t do this myself.

“Hello Jessica, did the packers get there?”

“Mom, something has happened. Is there any chance that you can pick me up at the coffee shop by my apartment, please.”

“Of course sweetheart I will be right there are you OK.”

“I am fine for now, I just really need you to come and get me, please.”

“Alright I will see you in a few minutes, watch for me.”

I hung up the phone. I am so confused about all that has happened. Not wanting the things he had done to me. Wondering if he would have done more if I wouldn’t have agreed to do as he wants me to do. He is a monster disguised as a businessman. I don’t have long to decide what I’m going to do, since I need to report to him at 8:00 a. m.

As I go up to the cashier to order my coffee, I hear a familiar voice. I turned around, and I saw Matt. I’m pissed I can’t believe it’s him. I want to say something, but I don’t, I just act like I’m not there. I really don’t think that he realizes who I am, for once I am invisible to him. I’m not really sure if he ever really saw me or if it was just an obsession.

My coffee comes to me and I hear a horn. I look out the window and I see it is my mother and I run towards the door as everybody turns I see Matt looking at me, but I just keep going not responding to him just like he doesn’t respond to me. Once I got to the car, I noticed that it’s not my mother.

So I waited outside the coffee shop embarrassed. I am so tired of all this nonsense I am not sure how much more I can deal with. It’s almost like I just want to take off and disappear. When I look, I see my mother’s car and I get in.

“Mom, thanks for coming to get me. I’m not sure what I would do without you.”

“No problem, Jessica.”

As I look at my mother, her expression suddenly turns cold. I’m not sure what is going on, but I almost felt uncomfortable and scared. She looks like she’s angry, but I’m not sure why. I don’t dare bring anything up, I have nowhere else to go.

I need to be in a space that is safe and away from people that I don’t even understand anymore. Maybe I am just crazy, I’m imagining all of this. She looks at me and almost seems like she’s putting a fake smile on.

“Sweetheart, what is going on has something happened you don’t seem right.”

“When I called you, I walked downstairs when we hung up. When I got downstairs, I thought the guys were there just to get my things. Then I noticed it was Mr. Zeth. He grabbed a hold of me and took me to my apartment. As he forced me to say that I would work for him by violating me.”

“Sweetheart, what do you mean by violating what he did to you?”

“You said yourself that he’s a very powerful person. He’s not only threatening me now, he’s starting to threaten you too. I will work for him until I can figure all this out.”

“Jessica, do you really think that is a good idea, what if he hurts you?”

“I just can’t risk him hurting you, I can’t lose you. I didn’t realize how crazy he is.”

Her concern is fake, I don’t understand. She almost seems like a different person. It makes me feel so uncomfortable I want to flee from the car but where would I go? I would be alone with nobody. I am not this weak person, I am strong. As I repeat it repeatedly in my head, it doesn’t stick. I have this awful feeling that something bad is about to happen, and I have no control.

As we are pulling up into my mother’s driveway, we see an unfamiliar car. Not really sure who it is, we go up beside the car and park. When I look over, that’s when I see it’s Mr. Zeth. To be honest, I don’t even want to get out of the car. As I see him, I know I don’t have any other choice. What if he hurts my mother? I go to open the door as he opens his. Not sure why I thought he would stay in the car. Now that he’s out I am extremely nervous not wanting him to touch me.

“Hello Ms. Smith, I needed to have a word with your daughter, could you give us a second.”

“I’m not so sure if that is a good idea.”

As he looks at me, I can tell that wasn’t the answer he wanted from her, but it almost seems rehearsed. “It’s ok mom i’ll be fine go ahead in the house i’ll be in a second.”

Once she gets into the house he walks over to me. I back up, not wanting to be close to him. “What do you want, Mr. Zeth?”

“Get in the car, so we can talk in private.”

“There is know one here, don’t you think it’s private enough?”

I can see his expression turn cold, “get into the fucking car now.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

My breath becomes shaky, I don’t know why he is doing this to me. I can’t move, fear has overcomes me. He grabs a hold of me with so much force and puts me in the passenger seat as he is getting in the driver’s seat as I go to get out. “Jessica, you get out of this car. I promise you that you will regret it.”

“I don’t want to go anywhere with you, please just let me go. I already agreed to work for you, what more do you want.”

“The job that you applied for is already filled. So, I decided that you would be my live in maid instead.”

“No I didn’t agree to that, no, please stop the car.”

As he’s going to back out of the driveway, I go to reach for the door to get the door handle but never grip it. As he grabs a hold of my hair and slams my face against the dash. Pain overcomes me as blood comes from my nose. I try again, but this time he slams on the brakes. As I’m struggling to get the door open he’s walking over to my side, as he opens the door.

“Please Adam stop, just let me go. I said I’d work for your company, not your housemaid please.”

I feel a sharp pain as it crosses my face and all of a sudden everything just turns black.
