I looked at Enzo and turned back to look at the person on that chair. I was confused why they had Kim, my co-worker. When I worked back at F’s restaurant, he was one of my good friends and a very protective one, “wh... why?...How?” I stammered not knowing what to ask.

“Well...I found out that he was stalking you for a long time. He has your photos all over his apartment. He was fantasizing you as his girlfriend and that you had sex... numerous times and you didn’t even notice that you were being stalked by a guy who had worked with you, How ignorant!....[He moved to me, turned me around so that I could face the mirror and watch Kim, He wrapped his arms around my neck From behind and whispered in my ear]...and Now you’re going to watch him as a representation for what happens with your friends and Grandma if you don’t listen to me” He said and Pressed a button down on the panel, Then a bulb in the room where Kim was tied up, turned green as a signal to the men in the room, they took the cue and placed electrical handcuff and a metal ring on Kim’s head, his mouth was Duck tapped as he was screaming with wide eyes. One of them walked to that machine and pressed a button, then the machine-generated an electrical wave and hit Kim’s head. For a moment everything we did together, our chats, our laughs, our movements when he helped me numerous times flashed right in front of my eyes, “Stop!!.... Stop..No..Don’t...please” I screamed, “please...Enzo...Stop...He’ll DIE!!...Enzo...please” I begged,

He wasn’t saying anything. He was just watching Kim. “What the Fuck is wrong with you...let him go. He’ll die...Enzo!” I was screaming and begging Enzo to leave him. He didn’t listen or move an inch. I was moving his arms around my neck. He continued to give shocks to Kim. I took a deep breath, I know what he wanted to listen So, I shut my eyes, gulping down the lump of tears in my throat.

“I’ll do whatever you want me to do, please...please let him go...Enzo” I said tears rolling down my cheeks. Enzo pressed a button and the light turned red. The men inside stopped giving shocks to him. Enzo turned me around roughly," You are mine, Mine to touch, Mine to hold. All mine Do you get that," he said, gripping my chin with pressure, Making me look into his eyes.

“Please... You’re hurting me, ” I said, trying to free myself from his iron-like grip.

“Say it “he shouted on my face, gripping my chin more tightly.

“Yes...yes...I’m yours,” I said, sobbing and struggling to be freed from his grip. He pushed me back. I stumbled back. He walked out of the room, I wiped my tears and followed him quietly. He walked ahead and sat in the car, I sat in the passenger seat. Enzo started to drive the car. I shifted my gaze up to meet his face and his expressions rested peacefully without any protest Or any furrow in his eyebrows or his face.

I turned and gazed outside of the window, silent tears were flowing through my eyes. I quickly wiped it, without him noticing them.

After a short while, we reached the mansion and He parked the car. I opened my door to step out of the car, but Enzo grabbed my arm tightly and squeezed it. I whimpered with pain, struggling hard but my strength was nothing compared to his. “Listen to me very carefully... I should never ever find this finger without the engagement ring...you have seen what happens if you don’t listen to me...Get that into your thick skull” He said and let go of my arm, I wiped my tears and said," I get it, you don’t love me, but I never thought that you’re a monster who will not stop at any cost from getting what you want," Even though I was scared to death by his actions and words, I still managed to speak against him.

I got out of the car and walked towards my room, I ignored Judy’s worried expressions. I feel Enzo coming inside and I moved faster. I stepped inside my room and closed the door. I took a shower and dressed up to go to work. I noticed the ring on the table, I walked to the table, took that ring in my hands, I put that Fucking ring on my finger and walked out of the room.

Days went on... Enzo was controlling me, I couldn’t do anything other than to do things he wanted me to do. In college, Everything was good except, I didn’t see Aron after that day when he tried to tell me something. I called him multiple times but he never responded, I thought maybe he was busy. I was missing him terribly, I even called his house number, they said he left for New York, he’s parents live there.

One day, Enzo strolled into my room and gave me a phone."Call your grandma and tell her about our marriage" he said, I nodded and dialed her number. After a few rings, she answered, “

Hello”

“Hello, grandma It’s me Nessie”

“Nessie, How are you dear?. Why is your phone off”

“I’m fine grandma, My phone wasn’t working. How are you? How is your health?”

“I’m good don’t worry about me, dear”

“Grandma... I want to tell you something” I said nervously,

“What is it, dear Are you okay, Is everything okay?” She asked with concern,

“I..I..I’m engaged,” I said, looking at Enzo,

“W..what?”

“I’m engaged, Grandma”

“How..w..when..who?”

Enzo snatched the phone from my hand putting it on speaker and gesturing me to speak,

“I’m engaged to...to...Lorenzo Francisco, He is a businessman”

“Lorenzo?... Isn’t he the guy who you told me about, The one who was the reason you went into depression and weren’t yourself for past 6 months”

“Um...y...yes he is the one,” I said Embarrassed that He heard it,

“You guys got back together?”

“Yes...our marriage is on Monday, grandma”

“Dear, don’t you think it’s too early for marriage. You’re just 19”
