Chapter 5: House-wife's torture
Sherman's mother was so nice and comforting. She made a bath for me and asked me to watch my favourite tv shows whilst she cooked in the kitchen. Mean while Sherman was no where to be found which is why I found it so peaceful.
The sun went down and a knock on the door frightened me. Sherman's mom went to open the door, leaving me to curl up in fear where i was sat.
"Dont let him in..." I whispered hoping she would keep her words about him not being seen for the rest of the day. But Sherman's mom could only ignore my request.
Sherman came in all agitated and came straight to the living room. I could only look down due to my utter fear for him. However even though I wasn't looking I could feel that evil stare piercing my skin causing me to shiver in discomfort.
Why was he even angry. He brought me here. Everything is his fault not mine.
He sat opposite me probably intending to get my attention in silence but to no avail did I lift my head to look at him. Dissatisfaction seemed to fill the rage in His heart. Something that I did or say was clearly bothering him.
" You want some cookies..?" Sherman's mom came in with a tray of deliciously looking cookies. My mouth watered seeing them.
"Thank you ma'am" I said grabbing a cookie. Although i was a bit hesitant at first because of Shermans creepy stare i couldnt resist.
"No problem dear call me mom, or if you are not comfortable yet you can call me Mother Lu" She said smiling. She was honestly the only peace of mind i had in this house.
"How about me mom, don't i get any cookies." Sherman suddenly said teasing. Mother Lu turned drastically with an evil gaze on her face.
"I dont really like you right now Sherman so you shouldn't even be breathing around me." I liked how she scolded Sherman. Now i genuinely believed that she didnt support what her son did and was only keeping me here for the sake of protecting him. It was somewhat understandable.
"Thats quite hard to believe mom. You opened the door even though my dearly beloved and kind future wife over here, asked you not to."My smile dropped instantly
How did he know? I made sure to whisper when i said that. Oh well it should be expected for someone who just kidnapped.
Mother Lu left the room eventually probably due to immense agitation. I ended up finishing the cookies whilst avoiding Sherman's momentary stares. I picked up the tray and walked in to the kitchen to wash it up.
As i was washing i felt hands grip my waist and in panic i turned around quickly grabbing a fork.
"Dont you dare touch me." i warned pointing the fork towards him.
"Alright alright.. calm own" He cackled. "Just trying to see how much you've made yourself feel at home. After all you are going to legally be my wife." he teased.
"I dont understand what's so funny. I hope you do realise you just kidnapped someone. By that i mean me." I gathered up courage. I couldnt even believe i was confronting my fear.
"tsk tsk tsk. Babe, thats wrong." He said shushing me with his finger "You ran away with me because you love me so bloody much tbat you couldnt wait to get married. So we got married. No? have you already forgotten?" There was clearly something wrong with him. even squinting my eyes wasnt enough to read what was exactly wrong with him
Another knock and a doorbell rang.
"Speak of the devil". He said excitedly
This time Sherman went to open it. A young beautiful lady with office clothes walked in with documents in her hands. She hugged Sherman straight away with a cheerful smile and greeting gestures.
If only she knew what type of person she was hugging. Maybe i could get her alone so she could help me get out of this place.
The lady walked in slowly towards me almost like she was trying to study me. Suddenly her expression was as if she was pitying me. The expression in the lady's eyes was like a message telling me that I had a long way to go. Right then I knew that this woman would be of no help. She must be on their side.
"Elayne.. Meet Sara. Sara... meet Elayne." Mother Lu came down fortunately breaking the awkward silence.
"Right." She giggled "Hi Elayne its nice to meet you." She said forwarding her hands towards me for a handshake. "Sherman told me a lot about you." After hearing that the hand that was volunteerily going to shake her hand retreated. The smile i gave drastically faded.
"What is there to say about me I only met him yesterday." I questioned, at least trying to get reasonable answers for the reasons of me being held captive by these people.
They all looked at me speechless, but Shermans eyes said something else. I didnt know it was even possible to visibly see someone's anger.
"Yeah.. Elayne, this is the contract for the mutual agreement on how, and what brought you into this household and this is the marriage certificate. Just sign right here and right there." She said dropping two pieces of documents and a pen on the centre table.
It took a while of staring at those documents before Sherman's mother said "We've talked about this already, all you need to do is sign the documents". It seemed like she knew that i was already hesitating. Thinking about the fact that if i didnt sign those documents, Sherman's mother would clearly leave me to be with Sherman alone. God knows what unfortunate events i may face during that time. If she didnt come today, i was clearly going to be raped by him. It was an honest and clear decision for me to sign those papers for my own safety, even if they weren't true.
I eventually signed those papers and it felt like a weight was lifted but an even heavier weight was added. I was just trapped without any gates of escape. It was now Sherman's turn to sign them. He grabbed the paper and pen and purposely grazed his fingers against mine grabbing my attention. The corner of his lips rose giving me an evil smirk before moving on to sign the marriage certificate.
'BREAKING NEWS: Two bodies were found on the roadside in ClovesGreen high way.. right next to Flocester's children's park. Police report indicates that the cause of death was by a run away truck. However autopsy reveals that the two individuals were brutally beaten by the suspect weapon, a hammer. The bones of their limbs were on recognizably shattered before being hit by the truck. Now their seemed to be another victim who fortunately survived this incident but still remains fatally paralyzed from the waist down. Here is his story.....'
The TV painstakingly grabbed our attention due to the horrifying coincidental incident.. This was clearly the park i was at before being taken away by this horrendous man. The faces on everyone in the room was a horrified looking face except for one. Shermans face looked like he wasn't bothered untill our eyes met. His face gradually sank as i looked at him questioning in disgust.
Last night he was clearly holding a hammer. If he is capable of kidnapping he is most likely capable of murder. Could it be possible that he was also involved in this incident? Did i just get married to a kidnapper slash murderer?
A man from the TV spoke in pain. 'We were just walking by after a long night of work at the construction sight. We were holding our own working tools each holding a hammer. Then out of nowhere the guy wearing a hoody and a cap, took one of my friends hammer and started hitting us harshly with it. He was mainly targeting our legs and arms and when he was sure that none of us were able to move. he ran away with the hammer. My friends unfortunately tried crawling on the road to ask moving cars for help but ended up being ran over.'
He was in bandages and a hospital gown some bruises on his face were visible. The groans he made as he spoke were clear indications of the pain he was feeling at that moment..
Tears began rolling down my cheeks as a cold shiver ran down my spine. How brutally insane must he be to do this to not just one human being but 3 people. The horror i felt was way past believable.
My regrets for signing this marriage certificate escalated. I was wrong. Life here could not get any worse.
