Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 25

❝The place where loneliness lives❞

.•*•.

The car parks outside his mansion and Sebastian and I get out of the car. "Escort my wife back to her place" He says to a woman, it's a woman that looks to be in her fifties or sixties and she's dressed what looks to be a maid outfit of some sort. She nods her head at him and I roll my eyes. After what we have been through I am being sent back to that place. The apartment or whatever it is where I was after our wedding. It feels as if we are back on square one in this whole thing.

Or perhaps minus ten squares. The woman takes me back to that place and as we are walking there I see the flashes of the night after the wedding and how horrible I felt and how I just wanted to cry myself to sleep and I did do that. The woman doesn't say anything to me and I don't say anything to her, though I can feel like she doesn't like me very much, or she is just in a very bad mood, which can be explained by the fact that she doesn't seem to like me.

Once I'm there she locks the door and I'm back in the loneliness again, though this time I'm not going to cry. This time I'm going to show him that he doesn't affect me and I'm not afraid of him, even when I'm terrified of him but he doesn't need to know that. There has to be someone that can stand up against him and that someone will be me. Sebastian King uses others and he uses their fear against them and he does whatever he wants with them. 33

However, I'm sure that he's not going to do anything to his own wife. Though, I know that he is capable of anything and he might hurt me or worse but I just have to show him that I'm not backing down. To hell with being an obedient wife like I had planned. I will be the one to win that deal we made and I will have my life back but in the few months that I am forced to be here, I might as well make the most of it and fight for the people that are too scared to fight him.

I'm taking him down whether I die trying or not, hopefully I won't die trying because I still have to live my life and I am fighting for that. I notice the chess board on the table and I walk over to it. The chess board is the same as we had left it. We played a game but never finished it and I remember that I was winning. I sit down and notice a move that I can make. I take my Queen and slide it to the right where it is beside his King. And on all three side of his King are my chess pieces. Check Mate. 20

I don't know for how long I've sat by the chess table but time passes slowly so I stand up and go into of the living rooms where I lie down on the couch and find something on Netflix to as boredom has taken over me and I don't even care if it's in the middle of the day. I just lie on that couch and watch something, even if I have watched it before, I just have to do something to fill in the emptiness that I'm feeling in here. 4

This place might be big and there might be a lot of rooms here but I still feel all alone. After I've watches a movie and a couple of shows I stand up and walk to a bathroom where I look at myself in the mirror. I notice that the person that is staring back at me is tired and I can tell in her eyes that there is emptiness for some reason. Even the smile that I give myself is not even real. It's like I'm losing a part of me, yet gaining another.

I don't understand this. I'm trying to be strong but the more I try the more I get broken down and the more I need to pick myself up but I don't think I will ever be the same again. Like a mug that has dropped to the floor, once you put it together you can still see the cracks and it will never look like it used to me, that is who I am now. Even if I get out of this marriage I don't think I will be able to go back to the happy life that I once had.

However that doesn't mean that I can't create a new life with new happiness. I hear a door open and close and I go outside of the bathroom and into the living room. There stands the Devil himself. Somehow I'm not afraid of being in his presence anymore or the fact that I'm just gotten used to how his sole presence is power and authority and it doesn't affect me anymore. I give him a confused look as if I were asking him why he is here and now doing whatever it he does all day.

"Fawn, it seems that the man did manage to finish what I asked him to on such short notice and the hunger strike you had planned can't take place" He says and the puzzled look on my face only grows. He actually told me this information. I though I'd have to pry it out of him. "That is good" I say, not knowing what else to say to him. An awkward silence takes a hold of us as we stare at each other. "Want to watch a movie with me?" I awkwardly ask him, after a couple of minutes of pure silence.
