Four or Dead

Chapter 65

(TW: mentions of sexual assault/rape) Emma.... Present

The job went well and I had hoped it would be enough to get Zane to relax. Thankfully he didn't follow through with whatever he had planned for that night. I was sure he planned on raping me but he was so high that he ended passing out before he could

One of the guys dragged him out but I couldn't sleep that night or any night since. I am completely on edge right now. Something has happened that has Zane spiraling and I'm honestly terrified. I had managed to find that place in my mind that allowed me to survive his torture but I am still terrified

Now he's told the press that I'm at some spa retreat for mental healing out of the blue. Now rumors are swirling that I ran off and called off the engagement. I wish it was that easy.

I just wish they would step in and stand up to Zane, but they're probably scared he'! kill them if they do

A knock comes at my door and I jump nearly a foot in the air

"Come in," I say with a shaky voice

Zane strides in with a dangerous smile on his face. He claps his hands together and it takes all my self-control not to jump from the sound or recoiling when he moves closer to my bed

"Good morning love. Guess what? We are going for a romantic weekend

Get packed!" He says with a wide smile that makes my blood run cold

I don't trust my voice right now so I offer him a nod in reply while pulling my blanket closer and trying to cover myself more. His eyes follow the motion and I see his expression darken

Big mistake Emma

He moves around the bed and leans over supporting his weight on his arms until we are less than a foot apart
