Escape From Him!

Episode 2

Her pale skin, buggy eyes, cut lips and little zeal and strength, everything gave her concern as she stare at her reflection in the mirror. She sigh and finally look away, not wanting to open her emotions. Her body shake slightly when she hear the monster drive in.

"Common Kim, you can do this. Put yourself together, you can fool him. You've always been a great actress, just pull the shots." She mentally chants to herself trying to steady her trembling body as she climb down the stairs to go and answer his call in the living room.

"Hey dear!" She welcome him with a huge smile as she walk up to him.

"What's up with the greetings?" Alex ask barely falling for her nice manner. She's too hurt to pull a stunt on him.

She stop on her track when she heard him say that. Has he already figure her out already? Oh my God! What do I do? She panic slightly as she stare at his broad back since he's not facing her and his attention is focused on his phone.

"What's wrong? Did I catch your stunt?" He ask as he drop his phone on the couch carelessly. He slowly turn towards her slightly trembling body.

"Common Alex, I'm not pulling any stunt. Why will I even do that? I just want to greet my fiancee as nicely as I can. By the way, I have something important to discuss with you," She manage to mutter, slyly brave as she pull herself together. She hope he will buy her lies though.

"Thought as much. What do you want this time?" He ask as he study her quietly. He knows her too well to fall for her tricks. He's not made her life miserable enough, he has many more to unleash on her. He simply hate the lady in front of him! He just don't know what interest he got in her!

"Have this and get me my dinner since you're tongue tied," he order as he throws her his jacket and pull of his shoes. He hands everything over to her before settling down on the beautiful leather couch.

Kim couldn't have been more glad to leave his presence. He always had a way of inputting fear in her and if she wants to succeed tonight with her plans, the ones made by Jane and Kate, she have to put in all her best. After all, its for her good. She hang his jacket in the closet before making her way back downstairs to the kitchen. She dish out his meal. She had made his favourite just to make her succeed. After dishing the meals,she adds a portion of the sedative Jane had given her into his meal, she then sets the table.

"Dinner is served." She mutter quietly and Alex look up from his phone to stare at her for a while, trying to study her but she succeeds in hiding her emotions.

"Lead the way." He mutter and gently walk behind her. He stifle a laugh when he catch her swaying her almost invisible butt. Oh now I get it. She wants to get laid tonight just like the b***h she is. Its gonna be fun to starve her, he thought to himself.

"What's for dinner?" He ask as he settles down on a chair.

"Chicken casserole and I made it Just like you love it." Kim mutter as she open the dished meal.

"Your actions are fishy and I just hope you're not up to something otherwise I won't spare you," he warned before picking a spoon to start eating. She froze for a minute before covering her nervousness with a timid smile.

"I'm all ears." Alex urge her on when she cleared her throat to speak.

"Alex, I don't know if I've offended you but I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry." She look down on her palm. "But the way you're treating me ain't fair. I feel more like a maid than your lover. You beat me, r**e me and assault me! You even aborted my baby with pills. When I was at the hospital, you never cared to visit and when I returned you didn't apologise for your wrongs, instead you became more hostile towards me. It ain't fair," she mutter as she felt tears sting her eyes.

"Nice speech there i***t! If you're really thinking of all that then you're in fantasy cos that will never happen. You don't expect me to treat you nice since you're failing to keep to my rules. You're really dumb for voicing that thoughts out. What courage?" He yell getting mad. She shiver at his cold glare that can send her to hell if looks could kill.

"Now listen, if you ever dare to bring that topic up again, then just expect that moment to be your last on earth". He threatened angrily.

"I'm sorry." She apologized quietly.

"You should be." He replied and continued eating. After that, no word was said again. She watch him eat, also picking on her food. When they were done eating, she just packed the dishes to the kitchen sink. With the aid of the dish washer, she finished washing the dishes in no time. When,she returned back to the living room, he had dozed off with his head rested on the couch sitter. Her joy knew no bounds on seeing him that way.

"Alex". She call gently with a light tap on his hand. He just groaned mubbling incoherent words. She smile and sit on a couch and watch him sleep for about 5 minutes before taking up her plan. After 5 minutes, she felt he was deep asleep and decide to make her move. She slowly went upstairs, pick up her already arranged box and take it downstairs quietly. She pick up her phone and made for the door when a voice stopped her.

"And where do you think you're going?" Alex ask with a yawn as he gets on his feet. She begins to tremble as he starts walking towards her.

No, no, not now God. Not now! I can't leave in the day Lord, help me escape now, she panic slightly. She decide to gather up her courage.

"I'm leaving. I'm tired of you, the relationship and all." She mutter courageously.

He laugh as he study her quietly. He had known she was up to something not after her attitude during dinner.

"You're going no where girl. I own you!" He threaten, as his hands roll into a fist.

"No, you don't. I'm not a property that you own!" She fired back again.

"Really? And you only just realized that when? Take that box back upstairs." He orders her.

"No." She mutter to his face as she clutch her phone tightly. He grins and within the twinkling of an eye, had her rolling on the floor. She wince out in pain as hot tears sting her eyes. She refuse to cry again, not now.

"When I say something, never disobey me!" He mutter and charge towards her drunkily. His fist collide with her face and she yell. With all her strength, she made for the knife in her box and without thinking, dug it inside his arm making him yell out.

"You bitch." He snaps in anger nuzzling his blood and arm. Kim made it for the time to run, she reach out for her passport and visa,and made for the door but stopped when she realized she sprained her ankle. She yelp in pain and tried to be strong as she made for the door. She succeed in running out in an half run with Alex right on her tail. She escaped the securities protocol computer Alex had imputed recently to watch her. She ran out of the gate and nuzzles the pain from her ankle as she ran in the cold night breeze and darkness.

God please help me! She cry to herself as she ran. She has just gotten to the end of her street and was ready to run along when a hand tighten around her neck, pulling her closer.

She shriek on realizing its Alex. He tighten his grip on her neck as she begin to fail in breath but she thought, she can't give up now, not when she's come this far.

"How dare you!" Alex roared into her ears in anger, his hot breath fanning her face. She cringe at his horrible breath.

"Let me go." Shebmanage to mutter as she struggle to rescue herself. Suddenly, she grab his scroth and yank it hard making him yell out in pain. She hurry off onto the next street leaving him to nuzzle his pain. She barely look where she's going as she kept looking back to check on Alex. Out of nowhere, a speeding car coming from the opposite side came towards her and hit her down.

Alex stop on track at the action and quickly hid himself somewhere. The owner if the car stepped down and stare at her probably,checking her breathing. The next thing Alex did was turning back and heading for home in smiles when he saw the owne4 of the car step back into his car, probably ready to drive off.

Whatever happened to her wasn't revealed except that she blanked out.
