jump in, I notice Adams car is not there, but his bike is. As I pull away I can feel the tears running down my cheek. “How could he?” I shout
I pull up outside my apartment and my phone is ringing, I glance at the screen and see its Hannah
“Hello?”
“Hi Olivia, sorry Adam called in, I told him you had gone home unwell, he seemed worried, I told him you weren’t too bad, I hope that’s ok”
“Ok thanks Hannah”
I cut the call and look at my phone and see several missed calls from Adam and a few texts, would he know that I saw them? I get out the car, grab my bags from the back seat and lock the car. As I walk towards my building I have that feeling again so I hurry across the road and into the building, I let go of the breath I was holding and walk up the stairs, by the time I reach my apartment I am out of breath, I place my bags on the ground whilst I find my keys, I push the key in and turn, pushing the door open I collect my bags from the floor and pull my keys out, I walk just inside and drop my bags on the table.
I turn to close the door as it burst wide open, I think I scream as I see Tom’s face but then the door hits my head. I feel myself falling and the feeling of panic is shooting through my body but there is nothing I can do as I hit the floor hard.
Chapter 10
I’m slowly coming too unsure of where I am and what happened, I struggle to open my eyes as I hear voices, a man and woman. I remember Tom at the door and the panic I felt as I hit the floor has returned. I slowly try to open my eyes but my head is throbbing. I try to raise my hand to my head, hoping that if I press it, it will relieve some pressure but my hand is met with considerable tension and I can’t muster the strength to move it, all kinds of thoughts fly through my head, what if I broke my back and I’m in hospital? I try again to open my eyes, slowly prying them apart, I quickly glance around the room and notice I’m at home in my bedroom, I look down at my hand and notice it’s tied to the bed, the relief I was feeling at not being paralysed is shattered when it kicks in again, I’m tied to my bed… I hear the voices again and try to calm myself down fast so I can hear what they’re saying.
“Tom it’s the only way, you have to do this. If you want to make me and your baby happy”
I hear what she says and know instantly it is the woman who was talking to Adam, its gut instinct, even though I never heard her speak. What I don’t understand is does Adam think it’s his baby or was he waiting to prove it isn’t or is it Tom’s and she is lying, fuck what could they possibly want? I hear Tom’s voice again
“I love you but I just don’t want to do this”
I feel the vomit rise in my throat, shit what are they going to do
“You know what you have to do for this to work, I have set the camera up just take a couple of her with her clothes on and then with them off, once you’re done we will make sure Adam sees them and he won’t want her anymore, I need you to make it look like someone is taking them of her and that she wants them too and she’s enjoying herself I have crushed the tablet in the water and put a spare one on the side if she won’t drink it”
“But…”
“Oh for Christ sake Tom just fucking do it, it can’t be that difficult to take some photos”
She sounds vile, what the hell was Adam doing mixing with someone like that “How long does the tablet take to work?” a tablet, fuck, I presume it’s some kind of date rape drug or something
“Once she has taken it, no more than ten minutes”
“Ok, are you going to stay?”
“No, I don’t need to see her”
“What do I do once I have finished?”
“Just untie her, bring all the stuff and just leave her in bed. I’m going to leave you to it, ring me when it’s done”
I hear the door slam and it all goes quiet, then I hear footsteps coming towards the bedroom, I pretend to be asleep
“Olivia, time for a drink
