Chapter 162 - OBSESSED
"I told you…. You could never escape from me, Phoenix. I promise to kill you before this night is over." He hissed furiously between greeted teeth as he towered over me.
I lay on the floor, rolling from the excruciating blow in my skull….?It hurts like hell that it feels as if my head is splitting into two.
?
My fear grew into the size of a monster as he spoke and slowly crossed the remaining distance between us that his foot now touched my thighs.
Even if I have my eyes pressed together and I couldn't see him, I still recognize him. I will never forget that voice as long as I live. His words will be forever imprinted in my memory and will continue to give me nightmares on a daily basis.
Warm liquid slither down my head then down to my shirt. My hands automatically flew to my head and when I held my fingers in front of me and my gaze landed into my hands…. I saw blood…. my own blood. The crimson liquid stuck around my fingers as if I dipped my hands into a bucket of paint.
My stomach turned upside down. Bile rose on my throat at the same time and the sudden urge to throw up invaded me. I hate blood…. Especially my own blood…
It brings me a lot of unpleasant memories.
"I will kill you Phoenix…?I will kill you…" His booted foot moved to my chest and he pressed it there with force that suspended my breathing. "But before I do that I will torture you first the way you tortured my emotions…" He added. He'd spoken the words so softly and yet it dug deep into me like a knife. I trembled with fear and apprehension as he continued to press his feet against my chest.
My fingers flew to his feet. With the last of my strength I tried to push him away but my efforts were useless.
"I. Will. Kill. You. Phoenix." He stressed each word with a voice overflowing with determination. His menacingly blue eyes flickered with will power as if he was confident he would actually do it.
He was like a wild beast. I, on the other hand, was like a prey cornered with nowhere to go. Anytime soon, after he was done playing with me, he will surely lunge and tear my flesh into pieces until the last sign of life escapes my body.
In this hopeless situation I'm in, I was wondering if I will ever get out of this alive or will I ever see my family again.
I'm so scared that I couldn't even scream. I want to ask for help but my efforts would be futile since no one would be able to hear my plea.
My only chance of survival is hope for someone to come home right at this moment and save me. Not only me needs saving, Catherine Grace needs to be saved too. I don't know what Vince did to her. I was hoping she's fine.
"Let me go…." I clenched my fist and hit him hard on the feet but he didn't even budge. Perhaps, my attacks were too weak.
I couldn't fight with my condition like this. I don't even have the strength to get on my feet and give one hell of a fight before I die. I want to kick him hard and beat the shit out of him but I couldn't even move my whole body.
"You will never succeed with your plan Vince…. You failed before… And you will fail again and again as long as Ace is alive. Your evilness will not last long. Karma will come knocking on your door to charge you with the bad things you've done."?I spat the words within a barely audible whisper while my gaze looked at him with immeasurable hatred. If only looks could kill, he already fell to the floor cold and lifeless.
He replied with a sarcastic grin. His eyes sweep from my head to toe. "Who are you to tell me I'm not going to succeed? An oracle? Are you God? Don't make me laugh…. I'm not in the mood for a joke." He said tightly and without a warning he landed a heavy kick on my stomach that knocked the breath out of me.
When his hard shoe hit the flesh on my stomach, I screamed painfully and tears welled at the corner of my eyes.
I bit my lower lip to suppress the whimpers from my lips.
Please Ace…. Please…. I need your help. I repeated the words inside my thoughts hoping I would slip inside his thoughts.
The pain in my head was becoming worse and my vision started to blur from the amount of blood I lost.
His lips slowly curled into a triumphant smile as he slowly kneeled right in front of me. He looked closely as my face twisted in agony as if he was finding pleasure in my pain.
"I will never ever allow Ace to have you…?it's either he dies or you will. I will never allow you two to be together. Never! As long as I am alive I will make you suffer!" He threatened, the hairs on my body began to stand on end. I was creeped out the way I'd never been before.
Vince is pure evil!
He burst into fits of laughter that filled the whole room.
I looked at him helplessly, wondering how I would be able to escape a mentally ill person without getting myself killed.
"You will never succeed with your evil plans, Vince! I swear that before God and everything I hold sacred!"
"Just give up…. You couldn't do anything, you poor thing...." He taunted then landed a blow into my face that made my cheeks go numb and made my lips crack.
Before I could think of a response, he stuffed a cloth into my mouth. I struggled hard but my strength was no match to a man with Vince's size. He effortlessly captured my hands then bound them behind my back.
He used a rope to restrain my wrists. When he finished tying my writs, he dragged me across the floor.
