Chapter 110 Don’t think I forgot about you.

“Allow me to introduce myself.” The large man said, his smile looked as if it was pure yellow and black. He brushed his dirty hand across his large stomach as if he was wiping dirt off it and went to shake her hand. She refused to even look at him in the eye.

Instead of being insulted, he laughed louder. It was a disgusting sound, it made her think he had dirt lodged deep in his throat with no hope of ever getting it out. “My name is Marcus and I work for Life Pharmacy. Normally, I clean the grounds and care for the dogs, but I was told a pretty little thing escaped and I knew I had to come find ya before you froze to death.” 1

Doris struggled to get the rope off her, but Marcus only tugged tighter until it squeezed the breath out of her. He kept pulling until she laid back against the snow in complete defeat.

Doris straightened herself quickly and followed him with his rope still humiliatingly wrapped around her body as if she was another dog. He tugged on her every few minutes to remind her how much control he had over her and how much it hurt to be squeezed if she tried to

There was no way he would have known where she was headed unless they told him where to look. “Only a few more miles up the road and you’d be at Enzo’s camp.” He laughed his nasty sound again. Doris glared at the back of his head and wished she hadn’t dropped her rock when he grabbed her,
