Chapter 512: Help Me!
"So, you are the girl that was his stalker a couple of years ago?", a voice asked incredulously.
Emery was jolted out of her memories as she frowned up at Olivia who sat there, tied to a chair.
"Has he told you about me? Now you know, he cares for me so much... There was this one time when I followed him from the office to a club..."
Olivia almost rolled her eyes as she looked at the woman. This girl... was she really that delulu? Uhh! Why did they have to meet so many wrong in the head people? There was Arabelle and then this...
Thankfully, while she was lost narrating her story, she’d been able to loosen the ropes behind the chair. Only one knot and her hands would be free. Whatever Emery was, girl scout adept at her knots- she was not.
But what she did not understand was why were they still here? She had kidnapped her and kept her inside her house? Did she not think that Seb would easily find her? And if she didn’t then why not? Meanwhile, Emma or Emery as she’d said her name was, continuing her story...
"He was so good to me. He gave up on clubbing to ask someone to take me home. He even told them that they should report to him about my well being. Isn’t that his way to show his love to me? Has he ever done something like that for you? He hasn’t, has he?"
Olivia stiffened as Emery turned to look at her. The sudden movement caught her by susprise and she realized that she was almost caught. Emery was frowning at her. As she stood up to walk to her, Olivia knew she needed to distract her faster. What could she...
"No, he has never sent anyone to drop me home." Olivia agreed but she knew that Emeru was focused on her. She needed to say something that might shock her.
"But he came to see me off, everynight. Even when we were not together." Olivia answered slowly, sending her a challenging look. As expected, Emery shot her a look, moving to sit back down as she scowled," What do you mean? He came to see you everynight?"
"Hmm. He’d never finish his day until he’d seen me. Sometimes I was so late, it would be quiet. But there was never a time he did not come." She watched that settle in and then suddenly had another idea. It was a lie of course, telling her that he came everyday. She knew he’d come sometimes. She’d see him standing far off, staring inside but never coming in. It used to make her feel guilty and yet safe. And she would have kept that knowledge a secret all her life if anyone were to ask her.
But, she needed to keep Emery agitated. Only if she was worried about Seb’s feelings for her, would she be distracted enough for Olivia to undo the last knot.
