No Longer Afraid (Complete)

William's POV : Part 2

          Michael laughed aloud as he let the young girl go, causing her to drop to her knees. “ Have you forgotten why you went to prison, Will? You r***d your girlfriend. So, don’t go getting all high and mighty on me now. You’re the last person that should be telling me anything about how to treat a woman.”, he said as he sat down behind his desk. William clenched his jaw. “Michael, I meant no disrespect. I’m just trying to change...for Sadie.”, he said. Michael lit a cigar, took a long drag from it, and exhaled. “I can understand that, William, but my house, my rules.”, Michael said. William nodded. “Anyway, what brings you here?”, Michael asked, pointing at a chair that sat in front of his desk. William took a seat and folded his hands in front of him. “Just came by to visit and ask about the business. What is this business, exactly?”, William asked casually. Michael grabbed another cigar from his box and prepared it for William. He held a lighter up in front of the cigar and lit it for him. William took a long drag from the cigar and exhaled the smoke. “This business is associated with the American mafia. We just manage the money they make from their exploits. Plain and simple.”, Michael said. William swallowed hard and his eyes widened. Fear gripped his body, followed by regret. “Don’t worry. Nothing that we do will be traced back to us. We are all protected by fake aliases and names that are changed every day.”, Michael followed up, noticing William’s reaction. William relaxed slightly and took another drag of his cigar. “Thanks for telling me, man, and...sorry about earlier.”, William said as he stood up. Michael waved his hand dismissively. “Don’t even worry about it, man. You heading out?”, he asked. William nodded. Michael extended his hand out to him in which William accepted. Right as William exited the study, he looked back at Michael as he pulled the same young lady he offered to William earlier onto his lap. He watched as Michael unbuttoned his pants and situated the young girl on top of him. A tear escaped her eye when she looked over at William. As he closed the door behind him, he got a final look of the girl being r**e by Michael. He sighed as he left the house. Guilt ripped through him as he got into his car. “Sadie...I’m doing this for Sadie. That girl...wasn’t my problem.”, he said aloud to himself, trying to muzzle his guilt.

          A few weeks later, William started to search for Sadie. After only a few days, he found her. He found himself staking out her high school. He finally sees her leaving her school in such a hurry that she didn’t notice him, parked only a few spaces away from her. He ducked his head down as he watched her leave. He takes a breath and smiles. “She’s still as beautiful as I remember.”, he thought as he started his car and headed back to his house. He laid back on his couch and sighed with a smile as the image of Sadie played over and over again. He gradually gets excited and slowly starts to reach down past his abdomen. As he starts to touch himself, he imagines Sadie leaving the school. Her dark hair, her beautiful eyes, and her luscious lips. Suddenly, his mind reverts back to the night he r***d her. Her eyes were puffy with tears, her lips were bright red, and the way she thrashed around excited him all the more. He gasped in satisfaction as he finished pleasing himself. “Oh, Sadie...you’ve still got it.”, he said aloud as he bit his lip. “Even the thought of you...is enough to get me excited...but I want you...the real you...not memories...I will have you.”, he said with determination.

          The next day, William was sitting in his car with a bouquet of red roses waiting for Sadie to be dismissed from school. He planned on waiting for her and surprising her with the roses. He imagined how it would go. She would come out to her car, he’d emerge with her roses. She would refuse him at first, but then he’d show her. He’d show her how he’s changed. He’ll show her pictures of his house, show her his car, and how rich he is. She’ll see that he’s made something of himself and fall in love with him again. He smiled as he waited and checked his watch. It was noon, which would be lunch time by now. He rubbed his hands together eagerly. “Just three more hours and she’ll be mine.”, he thought. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Sadie suddenly appeared out in front of the school. William smiled but wondered why she was out so early. Maybe, she was leaving for lunch. He watched her closely as she stood almost as if she was waiting. He leaned in closely to the front windshield as a guy suddenly walked up to her. He glared as he watched Sadie act familiar him, giggling and smiling as they crossed the street.

          William ran his fingers through his hair, stressed and angry. Sadie had clearly moved on. He gritted his teeth and punched his steering wheel. “Sadie...how could you? I did all of this for you...I changed for you and you moved on so quickly.”, he thought as tears poured from his eyes. He cried for a while before he headed over to Michael’s house. Michael poured him a glass of whiskey and sat down next to him. “So...she’s seeing someone else?”, Michael asked. William’s lip quiver as he took a sip from his glass. Michael lowered his head and nodded. “What’re you going to do?”, Michael asked. William clenched his jaw and held the glass tight in his hands. “I’m going to take her away from him. He’s just a distraction. Once I have her alone, she’ll have no choice but to accept me.”, he said rather eerily. Michael chuckled deeply and smiled at William. “How are you going to do it?”, Michael asked. William gave Michael a dark and mischievous smile.
