So, a random call had been made.
At least that was what I had gathered after straining my ears the hardest that I
had ever tried to to get to listen in on what Pheobe and Demetri were speaking
about in hushed tones just behind the door way.
The shed wasn't large by any means and it didn’t make sense why they would
discuss some thing that they wanted to be kept confidential right here in the first
place but I was not complaining
about that.
As far as I knew, Dante had received some contact about a ransom amount and
he was awaiting further clarification on where to meet to make the exchange.
They glanced in my direction briefly and I quickly looked away like I had not been
trying to listen to what they had been speaking about. It was a good thing that I
was no longer bound by my wrists over my head. That had come off yesterday
when Demetri had brought me some thing to cat
When the cuffs were removed, I nearly fell to the floor from how out of uch with
my b*dy I had become. My arms falling to my sides caused a burning sensation
as the blood squeezed their way back in to my flesh. It burned and tingled and
had this excruciating heated feeling that spread slowly until my finger tips. It
made me want to writh in utter pain.
It didn’t help that I couldn’t use my legs just yet. Not only did it hurt the woulds on
my b*dy since
every
small movement felt like what ever of it had been healed had been ripped open
again. I could smell almost smell it and I prayed that it was not getting infected.
They didn’t trust me enough even though I couldn't move by myself but I was far
more pleased. with these newer confining arrangement. I was given a chair to
which my legs where chained to and my hands were strained behind my back.
Despite having all the time and range of movement to inspected my wounds, I
refrained from doing so. I was too terrified to take a look at what my b*dy had
become let alone if any of it had been deteriorating.
“We have to get a doctor in here.” My ears strained at the mention of a doctor.
“Before we do the exchange, we should fix her up. That one cut on her leg isn’t
looking too good.” Demetri mumbled in a hushed tone but I could still hear him
clearly.
I think the angle of the chair in line with them send their words as crisp and clear
straight to my direction.
“She is a captive, Demetri. Pheobe said his name like poison from her tongue.
“She is not the one to have sympathy for. It is her own doing that she is in this
mess to begin with.” Pheobe immediately dismissed his suggestion..
“Yes, she is but do you really want Dante to see her first hand in such a state and
face his wrath? The man is more connected than we are. He could destroy us.”
He warned Pheobe sounding irritated

himself at her stubbornness.
Pheobe’s shoes tapped against the floor and grew louder as headed in my
direction. She paused a foot away from me and I looked up at her to find her
casting an assessing look over her boyfriends handy work.
Her eye stopped at one specific wound on my leg and I guessed that had been
the one that was beginning to look a little funky. I felt it against my flesh since it
burned a lot more than any of the other cuts on my b*dy.
She scrunched her nose in disgust from the stench coming of of me. I hadn't
showered in days and the wounds didn’t help the odour at all.
“She really does look mangled.” Pheobe said to Demetri across the room while
her hand rested
ther swollen bell
“But no, a doctor's is showing kindness that she does not deserve. We are not
here to nurture and heal. Our aim was to inflict and we have succeeded. All that's
left is for us to cash in our efforts and be done with Dante and her.” Demetri
muttered some thing under his breath and saw just how it rubbed Pheobe the
wrong way.
Her eyes
had turned sharp so fast that the change had me blinking to keep up. Her face
was nearly red with fury and not just a slight flush like it had been seconds ago.
“He thinks I'm stupid. He thinks I don’t know what I'm doing. I'll show him! He
can't out smart me!” For the second time, I witness Pheobe completely si*p away
from reality.
Her eyes glazed over and her hands did jerky movements like she was ready to
yank her hair off. It was clear that Pheobe was no longer in the room with us
even though her b*dy physically had
been.
She was insane or suffering from some mental disorders that made her lose it
every so often. It would explain so much.
I darted my gaze to Demetri as Pheobe had still been spazzing out to herself.
Demetri shot me a glare like he was offended at the fact that I had observed so
much. I looked away before I could bring myself any more trouble.
“I'm stupid. No, No! I'm not. I am a mastermind. Every one else is stupid.” She
continued looking absolutely deranged and out of touch with reality.
Demetri moved to yank her a few steps away from me before his hands gripped
her shoulders similar to the last time before he shook her firmly, a little rough this
time.
“Pheobel Pheobel Snap out of it. This is not you. Your mind is playing tricks on
you. He kept saying that same thing over and over again as he held her hands
away from yanking at her hair and tugging at her own skin.
I wondered if Dante had ever noticed these irregularities in her behaviour in the
time that he had.

been with her it was this some thing that had been newly developed. Surely
Dante wouldn't have been able to miss some thing so... unmissable.
As much as I knew that Dante could potentially be coming to my rescue, I didn't
want to think about him too much right now. Over the few days that I had been
kept captive and rough handled. I couldn't help myself but pin all of this on Dante
himself. I've spent several attempts trying to diffuse the thought but the more I
entertained it, it just made sense.
For four years I had lived peacefully with out Dante. My life had been drama free
and I was happy. There was no Pheobe in my life, no constantly looking over my
shoulder, and none of this bull shit going on to make my life miserable.
Ever since I had returned and Dante had crossed my path, my life had been
nothing but constant difficulty, drama, and seeing me at the hands of two
merciless individuals who could kill me if they so wished. Neither Demetri nor
Pheobe would have even thought of using me as a pawn or attacking me if they
didn’t want to get to Dante.
Pheobe had been a decision that he had made. A choice that he had chosen
leaving me all alone when I needed him the most. This entire mess was because
of him and what he once assumed he
had wanted. If he had not taken Pheobe back when she had returned then none
of this would have happened. Pheobe would have learnt sooner that she had no
hold on Dante and left but now she had become too invested to back down from
her plan.
At every turn in Dante's life, I had been the sacrificial lamb, the collateral damage
and nothing more. I was never placed first in his life and I didn’t think he had any
intention of ever doing such a thing.
At what point did I wash my hands from him and say enough? Has my self
respect not taken enough of a beating for me to finally call it quits and have no
hope of change.
My eyes stung from all the realisations that hit all at once but at the same time a
wall had been erected around my heart against Dante. I couldn't trust him any
more with out fearing for my own life after what all of this was settled.
Things could go either way at present. There was no telling just how this would
all end. I didn’t know if I would make it out as simply as every one involved
currently expected it to be. Every thing hung in the balance and this was all
because of Dante.
Nothing could change my mind about that.
When all of this was done and dusted, I would take Hayley and start anew some
where else. It had worked wonderfully well before.
The sound of rattling, like candy in a jar being shook snapped my out of my
thoughts. I looked to the corner of the shed where Demetri had been handing
Sophia a large pill and a bottle of water.
“You need to remember to take your meds on time. You know what happened
when you don't.” Demetri tried to remain calm but his words held a bite to them
but Pheobe had missed it in her
current state of mind.

Demetri was still trying to case her out of the episode that she was having. I tried
to recall in the times I had been at close quarters with Pheobe if she had
displayed any weird behaviour but I couldn't think of any. Aside from her horrible
attitude and cunning nature, I couldn't think of any thing out of place. I wondered
also if her parents knew about this. Even if they did, they would have kept it
entirely under wrap to prevent losing face from high society.

In the time that I shared the same

“You
“You are pregnant. You can’t be so car-" Demetri had caught himself from
finishing that sentence when he saw Pheobe act up again.
“Drink. He pressed the bottle to her I*ps to halt any words that came out of her
mouth admonishing him.
I felt a trickle in my throat and coughed but that had caused Pheobe to snap her
gaze at me like I has offended her in the worst way possible.
She threw the bottle on to the floor sending a wave of water gushing across the
floor. Her small frame had risen from the ledge she had been sitting on and she
sauntered over to me faster than I expected.
I wasn't expecting the slap that came from her neither was I prepared for me. It
was so uncalled for but apparently she didn’t think so.
“Do
you think my suffering is amusing?! huh? Do you think that you are better than
me?” She screamed right in my face.
I could have sworn that had she not been pregnant, I would have found some
way to push her until she fell down just to get her away from me. I was growing
tired of her bullying and irrational behaviour and I didn’t care what the fuck she
was dealing with any more.

Pheobe shrugged him off before swinging around to face Demetri. “You would
like that wouldn't you. So you could run away would all of that money.” She spat
out at him and his nostril flared.

“You don't mean that, pheobe.” He warned her again.
“I will not leave. I will be here to take that money!” She said firmly and Demetri
held his hand up in surrender.
“Okay, okay, but just sit down and wait for your meds to kick in.” He reasoned
with her and she actually allowed him to lead her away from me outside where
she could get some air.
With both of them out of the shed, it felt easier to breath despite the stinging on
my cheek which was leading to a migraine.
