Chapter 2 My Dear Wife

The silence in the room was bone chilling and one could only hear sobs of Sylvia. Ramsey's eyes bulged out at the mere announcement the handsome man made. This meant that Sylvia was married to this man. Ramsey felt as if he was stabbed in the back.

He recalled those beautiful moments he had spent with Sylvia. He had promised himself that one day he will marry Sylvia. It was once when he took Sylvia out shopping and saw her looking at a diamond ring in a jewelry store. "I can get it for our marriage proposal if you like it so," he teased.

"And what if I say NO? would you still buy me that ring Mr. Romeo?". "huh. You take my love for granted Sylvia. When I'm no longer by your side, you'll miss me," Ramsey said lowly.

"No wonder you're so dramatic. Let's please get something to eat. I'm starving.."

Ramsey was taken aback by his deep thought by a huge slap on his face. He was startled and realized that the man was standing above him.

The handsome man settled himself in the chair nearby. He said in a calm tone, "I'm a man of my word. I once promised my wife to kill every man that ever eyed her. You, Mr. Albert was in fact dreaming to marry her. Please enlighten me on the treatment I should offer at your service." Cold sweat dripped down Ramsey's back, but he managed to speak a little nervously.

"Who are you?". As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the handsome man grabbed him by his hair and dragged him to the nearest floor-to-ceiling window smashing his face into it.

The blood oozed out his head making its way through his face and soon Ramsey was drenched in the pool of blood. Although he could feel the throbbing pain in the head, he still struggled to get up and said, "beat me all you want but let Sylvia go. I'm willing to give my life for the sake of her survival."

The man got furious and took out his gun when Sylvia blocked his view and got to her knees. "No, please... I beg you don't kill him."

The man held her from the waist and pressed her hard against the wall. Sylvia winced and pleaded to stop. The man pressed her even harder so that he could hear her heart thumping really fast.

He glanced at look over her from head-to-toe, "I haven't touched a woman in years. How should I react after seeing my wife after 5 fucking years? Do you wish to satisfy my need tonight, Sylvia?" He said with a smirk on his face.

Sylvia got panicked and felt uneasy. She couldn't fathom the torture she'd go through again, once she had escaped from.

"I.. aa..", Sylvia stuttered not knowing what to say. Her heart was pounding. She glanced up at him to plead. His eyes were glued to her plump pink lips from constant crying. His seductively attentive aura was scarier than his word.

She had seen a similar aura emanating from him when she had first felt his presence near her. Back then she was a naïve, young, 22-year-old undergrad student at the San Francisco State University about to complete her graduation.

She felt drowsiness take over her senses since the more she dwelled on her past the scarier her present situation seemed. In a blink, Sylvia fainted in his arms.

The man held Sylvia in his arms and ordered his bodyguard James to take Ramsey hostage and beat the shit out of him until his men are asked to stop.

Ramsey's face went extremely pale as he thought about the instructions.

The handsome man left with unconscious Sylvia in his Audi Q7.
