Back in hell

Ashley’s POVThe dreadful cold that seeped through my clothes, penetrating them, my skin, and seemingly reaching into my bones, was what I woke up to.Even before I opened my eyes, I knew where I was. My entire body ached and hurt so badly that I was terrified that I must have broken several bones.A soft whimper came, and I started, until I realized that it came from my own lips. I opened my eyes, or at least, I tried to. I could barely see anything.In fact, I could only see faintly from one of my eyes, but I couldn’t see a single thing from the other one, which probably meant that it was swollen shut, or maybe it was even now blind.Even though my entire body protested the movement, I forced myself to get into a sitting position, then I scooted back against the stonewall, my fairly good eye watering and pitiful whimpers escaping from my throat as pain ravaged every single fiber of my being.Of course, I was back in the dungeon once again, and this time around, there would be no esc

Bad

Ashley’s POVAt first, my mind refused to process what my eyes were staring at. I had known that it was bad, but nothing on earth prepared me for just how bad it was.A strangled sound of shock and dread rose from my throat as I stared at the now broken woman who had once been so full of life and vivacious.Her hair, or better put, what was left of it, was stiff with matted blood and stuck to her scalp in patches. From what I could see, a good portion of her long hair had been brutally ripped off from her scalp.That demon from the pit of hell, named Will, had probably grabbed her by the hair as she attempted to flee or something and ripped some of it off by the roots.I couldn’t even begin to imagine the pain the poor woman was in. Oh, poor Janet!But that wasn't even the worst part. Beneath all that … oh, my goodness! I gagged, turning my head sharply away as bile filled my throat and I dry heaved some more, despite my best effort not to.Part of Janet’s skull was broken and sunken

A monster

Ashley’s POVI gaped at Will, and a slight tremor ran through me at his words, but it wasn’t completely from fear. It was from equal parts of fear and hope that blossomed in my chest.It was clear now that he was insane, but his insanity was going to be advantageous to me, or at least, I hoped so. He had told me before, when we were in his house, that he would stage an accident that would explain away my death.However, if his insanity pushed him to send pictures of me being tortured to Jeff, as he just said he would, then maybe I still had hope of surviving this, no matter how slim.Unlike the first time when he paid people off to lie that I ran off with some wealthy man, this time around, people, especially Jeff, would know for a fact that I had been abducted and didn’t leave of my own volition.My heart clenched painfully at the thought of Jeff. As smart as Jeff was, he would definitely put two and two together and realize that the most likely culprit for my disappearance was none

A sad goodbye

Ashley’s POVJanet fell to the floor with a muffled thud, a weak, pitiful whimper of pain escaping her lips. I rushed to her and dropped to my knees beside her, my hands hovering helplessly over her body as my tears poured.“Oh, God! I’m so sorry, Janet,” I whispered.The door opened at that point, and I looked back to see that another man had entered the room. His eyes swept through the room, and he took one look at Janet's broken body on the floor, and me kneeling beside her, crying, but his expression remained impassive.Will turned his attention to me. “Stay still,” he commanded.“Huh?”“Stay still, be a good girl, and pose for the camera,” he repeated, pulling out his phone.He wanted to take a picture of me. I wondered if it would include Janet as well. I didn’t dare argue with him, but complied with everything he wanted from me and scooted over to the position he wanted me to stay in for the pictures.The other man shifted uncomfortably. “Boss, I don’t think that’s a good idea.

So many questions

Jeff’s POVNever in my wildest dreams did I envisage that the result of my visit to Claire's place would reveal what it revealed.I couldn't even remember leaving her apartment after our discussion. All I remembered was that one moment, I was standing there, listening to her in disbelief, as she unraveled everything I thought I knew.Then, in the next moment, I found myself outside the apartment, slamming the door shut behind me and stumbling away as she called after me, saying things I couldn't even make out over the roaring sound in my head.As I walked away, my mind replayed everything that she had told me after much prodding from me.‘Will was the one who made Ashley leave back then. Don’t ask me how, because I don’t know, and neither do I care. I don't know what he told her or threatened her with, but it was enough to drive her away. That breakup letter you keep asking me about? He collected it from me and somehow got it over to her, and this was after she had already left, which

The surprise

Jeff’s POVA surprise was waiting for me when I arrived at the police station after leaving Claire’s place. My driver must have seen the urgency in my expression because he took shortcuts that I didn’t know about and drove as fast as he could without breaking any laws.In no time at all, we were at the police station. I strode toward the station’s entrance with brisk steps, already rehearsing what I was going to say and how I was going to lay out every suspicion I had to the police without sounding crazy.I was going to accuse the son of one of the most popular politicians in the country of abducting and torturing someone, who happened to be his ex-girlfriend, after all.The surprise waiting for me came in the form of a tall man, who was my height, and strode leisurely out of the station as if he owned the place.At first, I didn’t even pay him any mind, because I was so intent on getting inside and telling the police the information I had, but I was still far enough away from the en

More information

Jeff’s POV"Say her name again, and I swear to God I'll ignore the fact that we’re standing in front of a police station and beat the hell out of you!” I snarled at Will.Something suspiciously close to satisfaction briefly flickered in his eyes. "Hey! Calm your tits, man. I'm only telling you the truth. I know you're in love with her, and that’s why you’re behaving so irrationally. Anyway, at least you now understand what I was going through back then when I was madly in love with Claire,” he retorted, calmly removing my hand from his shirt with slow, deliberate moves, and smoothing out the wrinkles.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to remember that I shouldn’t ...couldn't act irrationally, but goodness, this guy was so infuriating! I felt eyes on us, and when I looked past Will, I saw that some officers were watching us closely. I knew exactly what Will was trying to do. He wanted me to lose my cool, so I would look insane to the officers, or maybe even get arrested, but I was

Inconsolable

Jeff’s POVWill answered my question. “Unfortunately, I don't have CCTV cameras, but of course, after this whole thing, I’m going to get them and put them all over the property. Anyway, after seeing all that … ruckus, I had to call the police to report the whole thing. In fact, I couldn’t sleep at home and had to sleep in a hotel. Interestingly enough, this morning, I was asked to come here and was questioned for hours about something I know absolutely nothing about.”“I wonder why,” I drawled sarcastically. Will either didn't get my sarcasm, or he didn't care."They consider me a person of interest in Ashley's disappearance. Had it been I didn’t have my travel documents and the alibis showing that I was indeed out of the country these past few days, I’m sure I would have been fucked, no thanks to you.” "All that you have told me doesn't change anything. You still have to explain to the police how and why you threatened Ashley all those years ago."He didn’t dignify the words with a

The declaration

Jeff’s POVI went to my family home with Eliza, Jack, and Aurora. I had been here only once or twice ever since my dad died, because each time I came here, I was reminded of nothing but sickness and death … those of both my parents.This time around, though, it was different. Being here with my sister and the kids took my mind off things, at least to an extent.Luckily enough, Aurora took to Jack, and when she woke up, they began playing together like old friends, although the sadness was still evident in her expression.My gaze drifted away from the television, landing on the far side of the room, where they were currently playing. They were sprawled out on the floor, surrounded by the building blocks and other toys and games.Aurora’s earlier distress seemed to have disappeared, at least for now, for which I was most grateful.A small smile tugged at her lips as she carefully stacked one block on top of the other, while Jack animatedly tried to outdo her with an even taller structur

A sense of urgency

Jeff’s POVI scoffed under my breath, my grip tightening around the remote. I was a hundred per cent sure that this bastard was laying it on thick, yet none of the people who were interviewing him could see through him.The whole sad bit he was trying to portray felt rehearsed to me. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had stood in front of the mirror and practiced the exact way to look devastated.“There’s just something off about this guy,” I muttered.Eliza glanced at the screen, then back at me. “Off? How do you mean?”“Can't you see how fake he looks? He’s clearly overdoing the sadness and guilt. It doesn’t feel real to me.”Eliza directed her gaze back to the television and studied Will for a moment, but after a few seconds, she shook her head, unsurely.“I don’t know, Jeff. He seems genuine enough to me.”“Really? You don't think he's pretending and laying it on thick?” I asked her, frowning.“No, I don't. If something like that really did happen in his house, it would make
