Armand smiled as he crawled in behind her and wrapped his arm around her waist. “My wife is carrying my baby.”
Celine closed her eyes and smiled.
“She will never leave me now,” he whispered in her ear.
Celine’s smile fell off her lips. She had no idea how far he would go to keep her and the baby with him forever.
She just knew she was in deeper than she thought.
She closed her eyes tight and whispered a silent prayer to herself. “Please God, get me and my baby out of here.”
she whispered to herself. “He is dangerous, and I don’t know what he will do to me when he knows I have been planning on escaping him and taking our baby with me.”
Armand wrapped his arms tighter around her and buried his nose in her neck. “Sleep now, we will discuss everything in the morning.” he said.
Celine opened her eyes as Armand pulled her closer to him. She nodded her head and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
She didn’t know how long she could pretend to be the perfect wife and mother for him, she was a prisoner, and now so would the baby, she knew she had to act fast before it was too late, this was the only chance she had left to leave him forever.
She took a deep breath and waited until Armand’s breathing slowed down and became steady, she then got out of the bed and changed her clothes, putting on black leggings and a long white shirt. She grabbed her phone and slipped out of the room.
She was halfway down the hallway when she stopped and looked around for her guards.
She knew they would be right outside of the bedroom doors, but she couldn’t see them. She couldn’t see anyone.
“Hello,” she called out.
The hall was silent and no one appeared. She knew something was off, and she should have stayed in bed.
She was about to turn around and go back to the bedroom when someone grabbed her from behind.
A scream slipped out of her mouth before a hand covered it and pulled her back against their chest.
She was pulled into another room, and thrown onto the couch.
“Stay here,” a familiar voice said from somewhere across the room.
Celine couldn’t help but laugh at the familiar voice of her captor.
She slowly sat up and smiled as she looked at Armand. “You let me get out of bed?”
Armand narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms in front of him. “Yes, I did. I wanted to see how long you would be able to go before you did something stupid.”
Celine rolled her eyes. “Armand, that isn’t fair. I didn’t do anything bad, I was going to the bathroom.”
Armand snorted. “Lying to me again? It's not becoming.”
Celine crossed her arms in front of her. “I wasn’t lying, I needed to go to the bathroom. I saw the hallway was empty and decided to take advantage of it.” She said.
Armand raised his eyebrow and shook his head. “You are not a good liar, my love. I am going to have to teach you some better ways of lying.”
Celine’s eyes widened as she shook her head. “No, you don’t need to teach me. I don’t plan on lying to you anymore.”
Armand laughed. “That’s good to hear.”
Celine smiled at him and stood up. “Can I go back to bed now?” she asked.
Armand nodded his head. “Go, before I decide to punish you for running away from me.”
Celine nodded and quickly left the room. She ran down the hallway and back into their bedroom. She locked the door behind her and fell on the bed.
She laid there for a few minutes, before she heard the door open again.
“Armand,” she whispered.
His laughter echoed in the room. “You really are a bad liar.”
She rolled her eyes and sighed. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t sleep and needed to go to the bathroom.” she said as he walked to the bed.
Armand smiled down at her. “I think it's time you knew the truth, I've been watching you. I know everything you have been doing the past few months.”
Celine narrowed her eyes. “What are you talking about?”
Armand laughed again. “You think I don’t know that you have been planning on leaving me?”
Celine sat up and shook her head, she knew this was bad, he was going to hurt her. She closed her eyes and waited for him to say what he needed to say. “You will never be able to leave me, I will make sure of it.”
Celine slowly opened her eyes and gave him a smile. “Why are you acting like this?”
Armand sighed. “Don’t act like you don’t know what I am talking about.”
She shrugged her shoulders. “I really don’t know.”
Armand gave her an annoyed look. “I had someone check your phone the other day. They found a lot of things on it that should have been deleted.”
Celine opened her mouth to speak, but he stopped her. “If you try to deny this, it will be a lot worse.” he said. “I have evidence that I had my men collect from your phone.”
She shook her head. “There is nothing on my phone that I need to worry about.”
Armand gave a fake smile. “Really?”
Celine nodded her head yes.
Armand sighed. “You don’t know how bad you have hurt me. I thought you loved me, but you have just been playing me the entire time.”
Celine shook her head no. “Armand, I love you, I am not playing you. Whatever you think you know, it's not the truth.”
