C'était un truc.

Chase's pov

"Alors ça fait deux semaines qu'elle n'a rien essayé, donc maintenant tu crois qu'elle a fini par accepter son nouveau destin de femme ?"Antone asked as he sipped on his glass of wine. ( So it's been two weeks since she hasn't tried anything, so now you believe she as come to accept her new fate as your woman)

"Oui, tu ne penses pas ?" I questioned.( Yes, don't you think so?)

" No I don't think she has. I think she just hasn't found the opportunity to escape. She knows what you would do and even experience it already, I'm sure she is being very cautious." He said.

"Vous avez probablement raison" .(You are probably right.)

"C'est pourquoi vous devriez la tester. Testez-la pour voir si elle craquerait, je suis certain qu'elle le ferait et quand elle le ferait, cela répondrait à votre question."(That's why you should test her. Test her to see if she would crack, I'm certain she would and when she does, it would answer your question.) I then narrow my eyes on the floor in thought. Surely she has been very obedient expect for her silly outburst yesterday. I'm not normally a guy to play or laugh but I say maybe I should try, try to make her comfortable so she could be more comfortable with me but it failed. I decided that I should play with her because I realize she was a bit tense after questioning me, so I decided to play with her and push a piece of beef in her mouth. I honestly never expected her to act so dramatic but maybe I should just be me. This goofy shit isn't working at all. I should test her.

Zuri's pov

I was in the room painting as usual. Chase has given me a room where I can paint in and hang my paintings. After yesterday's meat thing, he had came to my room and told me he was joking and I acted dramatic, I didn't really care anymore about it.

" What are you painting?" I then jumped back and spill some of my paint. This guy really need to stop sneaking up on people.

" Ju-just a girl." I said as I try to calm myself.

" Well I'm going to work. Just come to tell you." He then walked over to me and hugged me and place a kiss on my forehead. "I probably will be back later in the night." He then release me and adjust his suit tie. I have to admit he look very good in his all black suit.

" Okay." I replied. He then turn around and began to walk off but when he was at the door he said something.

"ne fais rien de stupide.." and with that he left.

" 'don't do anything stupid?' " I repeated in English. I just shrugged and continue to paint.

......

After couple of hours of painting random stuffs, I decided I wanted to bathe since I was covered in paint. I walked into Chase room and scratch my hair. Where would I find clothes? Normally he would set them out for me but he didn't, since I'm staying here I don't see why he can't just get me a draw or basket fill with clothes. Also I was getting tired of wearing white t-shirts and grey sweatpants everyday, it's like I was a cartoon character or something..everyday it was the same outfit. I then open Chase top drawer, to see if I could barrow one of his shirt or something. As I opened the drawer the first thing I come across was a phone, I immediately back away from the drawer in shock, I suddenly felt goosebumps all over my skin. Should I use it? what if it was a trap? Surely Chase wouldn't have any idea that I would go through his draw. Fuck it! even if it was trap I would have time to call for help. I picked up the phone, it wasn't a iphone but rather some cheap android but it doesn't matter. I pick up the phone and immediately dial Gregory's number, I had to reassure him that I was doing good and maybe then get him to help me.

"Uhh hello?" I felt my heart melt at his voice. " Who is this?"

" It-its me Zuri."

"Zuri! Really it is you?, Where are you? What happened?!" He asked frantically.

" I-I don't know, Im like ...in a mansion..in some sort of forest or woods! I don't know Gregory." I said.

" Zuri, who kidnapped you and kill those people?!" He asked. " Can I get a description or something..of the person or persons.

" A guy, his name is Chase...Chase...huh...I don't remember his last name, fuck!." I put my hand on my head trying hard to remember what his last name was. " I think it's laurent...I-"

" Okay...Chase Laurent?, You have any idea why he kidnapped you? Do you think he would accept money exchange"

" No...Greg, he wants...me. " I said. " I want to escape but I'm afraid that if I try again and he finds out he will torture me again."

" He tortured you?!" He asked angrily.

" Yes...he has.Can you track this phone or something?"

" I think- I think I know someone who can!" He said in excitement. " They will be able to track your number..." I then sighed in relief. Was this it? Am I going to be rescued?.....is it too good to be true.

" Oh my God! Hurry up and do it !" I said.

" Wait... Zuri,where did you get the phone? " He asked. I didn't know why he was asking that.

" I found it in his drawer when I was looking for clo- it doesn't matter now, hurry and track the number before he gets back.

" Huh...okay. Listen Zue.." I then heard him sniff a little. " I-Im so glad to hear from you ...and hear that you're fine. I really am sorry for forcing you to go on this trip....it wasn't even necessary or truly for business. I am to be blamed for this..."

" Gregory...no..it's not your fault. If anything the only person that should be blame is the one who killed those people and take me against my will."

"I guess your right." He said.

" He's at work now....but I don't know when he will be back so I can't stay any longer." I said not really wanting to hang up." He's an assassin and his uncle is some business owner and he own part of the company...maybe you can go to the police and tell them that."

" I will...so you said his name is Chase Laurent?" He questioned and I shook my head as if he can see me.

"Y-yes!" I exclaimed. " He's wealthy and from wealthy family so I believe it won't be too hard to find him."

"Noted."

"Uhh I have to go now. Remember t-to track the number or bring it to the police to track the phone or something. It's an Android so it might be more difficult....it's very old. Probably even the first touch screen phone." I explained.

"Okay, remember I will try to track the phone. Try to be careful. I love you Zue." With that he hanged up and I immediately delete the history and place the phone on the same spot where it was.This was nerve wrecking but I had to hold on and relax, when he comes home and notice my sudden emotions, he would easily recognize that something was up. I quickly finished putting everything how it was once and quickly got out of the room. I then hop in the shower and didn't even bother to change my clothing.

..............

I was now in the living room seated in the comfy coach, watching my second movie I was trying to distract my mind from Chase, I need to relax. I caught myself praying unintentionally, praying that me finding the phone was just luck and not a trick or trap.

I cringe when I heard the door opening and in come Chase, he walked in and sighed loudly before throwing his big body beside me.

" My dear Zuri, it's been such a chaotic day for me!" He exclaimed. Suddenly the nervousness came crashing down on me like a large ocean wave.

" Oh..." I said quietly. He then turn his full attention to me.

" Mmm, what have you been up to? I see that you didn't change out of yo- oh I forgot I didn't left any clothing for you. I think I should get you some clothing and your own closet and drawer, yes?" He talked but something was off about his tone, it was kind of like....he was joking or struggling to hold in a laugh.

" That would be nice." I said, I was sensing that something was off.

" Can I get a kiss? You know Zuri, I should've fucked you already but I want to wait...wait until your comfortable with me but I don't think I will be able to wait any longer. " He then put his hand in my hair and began to play with one of my plaits. " I promise you will enjoy it, I have a way to use my tongue and di-" he then stopped when he realized I was tense up. He then chuckled. Was he drunk? Why was he behaving so odd. "Your so.. Innocent...it's upsetting."

"Oh..okay..Your drunk, maybe I should." I stand up attempting to leave but he immediately grabbed my arm and yanked me down.

" I'm not drunk Zuri....just.. disappointed and angry. Whenever I'm extremely angry I rambled a lot, trying to stop myself from doing something..I might regret." I then swallowed hard, was he angry at me?.

" W-why are you angry?" I asked trying to hide the fear in my voice.

" Just...I thought- well I- let's just say something didn't go the way I wanted it to."

" Oh, I thought you were angry at me." I said. He then looked at me and raised his brow.

" Why would I be?, It not like you did something that would anger me did you?" He questioned but again, sounded like his voice was hiding something mischievous.

"N-no..I haven't. " His expression then change, no smiles or anything just a nonchalant look with dark eyes.

" Are you being truthful? If your lying your punishment will worsen so if you did something, I suggest you tell the truth." He warned.

" Mmm..nope, I haven't done anything. Just painted and watch some TV. " I lied and tried to look as nonchalant as I can. " He then smirk darkly at me.

"Sure you wasn't going through my things and come across something.." he questioned. I then looked at him and frown.

"I-im sure...I don't know why you're acting like this." I said confusingly.

" You won't give up would you?" He questioned. " I know you went through my draw and found a cell phone. You called Gregory and everything...I know Zuri,no need to lie." I immediately stand up and step backwards away from him. I was scared as hell, was it really a trick?

" I'm giving you another chance to confess." He said as he took out a cigarette out of his pants pocket and a lighter that was on the center table. He then lit it and took a big puff. I was trembling, I was a trembling mess. I was so far from him, basically across the room. I hugged myself and tried to breathe normally because out of fear I keep forgetting how to.

"I- i- i- don't know what you're talking about." I lied because maybe it was a trick, the trick of accusing someone of something you are not sure they did just to get them to confess. Chase looked at me with a unimpressed look before he stand up and suddenly I felt small, sure he was taller but I felt so small right now. He then take out his phone out of his pocket.

" Come." He said not looking at me as he scroll through his phone. He then stopped and looked at me with a annoyed look. " I said come!" He raises his voice and immediately I was walking over to him. He then lower his phone when I was beside him to show me what was on it. I immediately covered my mouth in shock and fear as I watch myself talking on the phone with Gregory, so it infact was a trick. I was about to ran off when he grabbed my hair and yank me back towards the coach. " I find it so hilarious that you rather call Gregory than the police."

"Look, I'm sorry!" I yelled.

" Antone was right... you really will try to leave me any chance you get." He said and I just looked at him confusingly.

" Of course, why wouldn't I?!" I yelled. I was getting angry, why would he think I wouldn't try to escape? Do he think I like it here or something?. " You think I want to be here? Of course it was a trap! It was so obvious but I didn't want to miss the chance to talk to someone other than you, to talk to someone actually sane!" He then grabbed my arm and yank me out of the coach.

" You have so much mouth, maybe I really should rip your tongue out." He said through clench teeth. I flinched when he began to tighten his hold on my arm.

" Get off me! You did it on purpose, you left the phone there on purpose so why be mad..why are you mad that I call someone!"

"I thought-"

" Thought what? Thought that I was happy here? Thought I was adjusting to this fucked up place... thought I was adjusting to you!" I was angry, angry because he had that stupid idea that I like it here or something. " I want to go home!" I then received a hard slap to the face, so hard that I stumbled backwards and landed on the coach.

" When will you get it in that hard head of yours, that this is your home? I am your home Zuri. You belong to me." After hearing him said that I began to bawl.

" T-thats not true!, I don't belong to no one!" He just stand there staring at me with dark eyes. He then began to take of his jacket while staring in my eyes, next he take off his tie.

" I am going to make you regret your action today Zuri. You should've looked at that phone and ignore it. "

" What are you going to do? Tear my toenails off...how splendid!" I said sarcastically. He just looked at me and smirk.

" You're going to wish it was just that. I'm going to break you Zuri, I'm going to make you a submissive mess." He warned and I just chuckled. I've been through so much already, he really think he has the power to break me?

" You can do whatever you want but you can never break me Chase!" I yelled.

" We'll see about that." He then yanked me out of the coach and began to drag me somewhere. I wasn't even resisting. I wanted him to believe that I wasn't scared even though I was. He then brought me down a long hallway and the further we go the darker it got.
