MAHIRA
The next morning, Thane came to the room even though I wasn't supposed to see him today
because it wasn't his turn to feed me. He didn't even have food in his hands, just a key. I looked
at him unsure if I should be scared or relaxed. Is he going to hit me?
'You look like shit,'
'Why did you release me huh? Is your little bitch not satisfying you well in bed?'
Maybe I shouldn't be this bitchy considering that I'm at his mercy but god, it's not like behaving
did me any good either.
'Do you love me?'
'Yes.'
Thane smirked, 'Hmm. You are going to be by my side 24/7. You will prove your love to me.'
'I think I have done a pretty good job at showing you how much I love you and proving it. I don't
want to anymore.'
Thane set me free, no, not the freedom where I can actually go out, or use the phone or
anything, just the freedom of not being chained against a wall 24/7, freedom where I was
allowed to bathe myself but the beatings didn't stop.
In fact it was the same, just without the chains tying me down, sometimes it hurt so bad to even
bathe myself because when the water touched my skin, it burnt.
It wasn't just physical pain now, he would blackmail me, emotionally and mentally, he would play
mind games, you couldn't trust him, sometimes he was fine but most times when he wasn't, I'd
pay for his moods either with my body, my mind or my soul, I didn't even think that crushing
someone's soul could be possible until it happened to mine.
From the CEO of AMS he turned me into a nobody, following all his orders. I allowed him to do
that because I wanted to find my children. I wanted to save the remaining family I had that was
still alive out there.
I wasn't trying to prove my love to him but I let him believe that's what I was doing, I just needed
to be free long enough to make a plan to contact someone, to call Kaashvi, to ask for her help because she would help and for that I had to endure. I had to be strong not just for myself but
for them.
Eventually I think it started fucking up with my head, I dont know how but it got so hard to
function properly. The more he let me watch him fuck somone else, the more he banged my
head against the walls, the more he sexually harrased me, the more he yelled at me, the more
he told me I was useless, the more he told me to die, the more I believed that I wasnt worth
saving but one thing is for sure, they are worth saving but I was too far goe to save myself.
I still loved him and it hurt me so much to see him getting so passionate with other women. It
shouldn't hurt, I shouldn't feel anything so I channeled some of my energy into numbing the
feelings.
When the thoughts got too loud, or my heart beat too fast, or my hands trembled too frequently,
I would take the same knife he used on me to inflict pain on myself. The pain made the voices in
my head quiet, it made my heart beat normal, it stopped the trembling, it proved to me that I was
still in control, that I still had a little power over something.
Rachel was doing everything in her power to activate the tracking device in Elena's necklace.
She came home once at the pretext of dropping some files, she had left a letter in the kitchen.
Since I was the servant, the only one who cleaned and fixed things I found it.
Tonight, Thane fucked a blonde after that he fucked me to and now my body was aching. He
didn't care that my head kept banging on the floor until I had a headache, I think he felt satisfied
when I passed out when he fucked me but he would never stop until I regained conscious again.
When he was done, he left me on the bathroom floor to fix myself.
Rachel was a regular visitor now, she would come under the pretext of company work and
Thane slowly trusted her so he let her see me, shamelessly so. When she came to the
bathroom, the smile that was on her face vanished when she saw me.
She helped me clean myself, even when she was gentle, everything was sore but I had gotten
tired of crying when it hurt, I had gotten tired of reacting to the water so I would stay silent when
it hurt.
She wrapped me in the towel that was on the rack and then she helped me back to the room
and sat me down on the bed.
'He does this every time but I can't let him lock me up again because I want to find the kids.'
'Don't worry. Your suffering won't go in vain. I found Elena. She is in Italy.'
'Really?'
I looked at her and she smiled, although her pain was forced and held pain but I smiled despite
that because she had found her.
'but there's a problem. According to the location. Elena is in a bar, which is one of the most
dangerous bars. I did my research and hired private investigators. We found out that...well…'
I looked at Rachel and she seemed to be avoiding what she was about to say next.
'Rachel...say it.'
'Elena has caught the attention of a dangerous man. He wants her and he's raped her. Finding a
way to help her escape will be one hell of a job. Elena is in danger ma'am. I'm afraid I can't save
her, you have to do something cause this is as far as I could help you.'
I think I understand where Rachel is going with this. I had to save Elena one way or another and
that means I have to find a way to go to Italy. The problem is, I don't have money, Thane froze
all of my accounts. 'Uhm there's this guy I think you should meet. He's my brother's best friend. He is influential and
it will be easy to save Elena and find your son's as well.'
'What will happen if he doesn't want to help. And why should I trust the man?'
'He knows how to handle such issues very well. Trust me. He will save you from Thane and help
you escape.'
'Fine then. I'll meet him.'
