Chapter Forty Nine

I wish that I could say that I was surprised when I open my eyes, but I'm not

My mind goes to last night, to the man who was on the radio, I do not think he would have made it in time to the police station, and if he had, there was no guarantee that they could trace the signal

Because just as I knew that the signal could be traced, I also knew it was not the easiest thing

Surely if he had gotten there and had been successful, wouldn't the police have been here by now?

Instead, I am tied up, to the bed like a fucking animal

By him

William- will

Just the thought of him, makes me cry

I had been abducted by my stepbrother; William Harold Thompson

How had I been so stupid, -

Of course, there was the name similarity between them, but there were a thousand people in the world who had that name I didn't think much of it, or think to put two and two together

And he introduced himself as William to me instead of Will

Okay but lots of people do that, they introduce themselves to you as their full names like my aunt Katherine who we call Kat for short –

Still, I feel so stupid

And oh god – the job

He said he was special operations or whatever the fuck, how was I supposed to know that meant navy seals.

Fuck

Will enlisted to be a navy seal, years ago, and I had not seen him since then

It has been a long time long enough that I did not recognize him, neither did I know anything about him clearly

Like the fact that he was a murderer

A stalker

And a psychopath

And he murdered Damien

Speak of the devil and he will appear, William, - Will walks into the room holding a tray of breakfast, he comes closer, not meeting my eyes

''you should not have done that'' he says, his voice barely audible.

I am assuming he is referring to what had happened last night.

''stay away from me you fucking pig'' I screech

''I thought you were happy'' he insists disregarding my insult

''you lied to me''

''I haven't lied to you'' he voices calmly

That is true technically he didn't actually lie

However, I'm still mad

''How could you do this, how could you fucking do this –'' what is wrong with you?''

Again he ignores my outburst

''don't try a stunt like that again'' he warns and puts the tray down on the dresser

''just let me go, I'm family let me go'' I plead, trying a new approach

He stops dead in his tracks, I watch him runs a hand through his hair before turning around, this time he looks really angry

''Can't you see I have only ever looked after you and cared for you? –''

''let me go'' I sob not listening to a word he is saying
