Come back to me Audrey

Audrey was on all her velocity, pacing away from the Armando manor, drastically wanting to leave it. With Anthony following behind her, his steps with urgency, frantic to stop Audrey from ever leaving.

“Audrey-” He called her out, his voice full of desperation for her. “Audrey please.” Pleading for her to stop.

She did not stop nor did she turn back instead, she ignored him quickening her step, just few steps away and she’ll finally be out of the main gate of the manor.

Anthony stumbled up to her front, blocking him of her objectives. In his full lamented state, gazing at her tenderly-affectionately, his eyes near red and glistening.

Audrey can only watch him nonchalantly, lips tightened as he pressed himself to the ground right in front of her, both his knees on the rough pathway. As he wrapepd his arms around of her lower waist firmly, just enough to confine her temporarily in his embrace. Straining his head so that he could see her face.

“Don’t leave. I need you” he voiced out of the terrible need he had for her, he’ll use anything at his disposal to chain him in this manor. “Our son- Artemio needs you by his side.” lowering his head slowly as if in feeling the extreme heartache with all his being. “You can’t go. You can’t go!” muttering to both of them lowly, yet with all of it firmness, pressing his face in her stomach dampening her shirt with his droplet of tears.

Audrey was glued to her spot, at loss of what to reply as she let him hold her in her shaking body. She was torn of what to do next, all she knows is that she wanted to be alone right now and he won’t even let her out of his sight.

“Anthony, I’ve already spent my youth loving you. It’s better if we just stayed as… friends for the sake of our son.” Audrey spoke, wanting to affirm every word, though unsure if she still wanted him as a friend even. Being grasped even tighter as a response from the man in his knees.

Audrey tried to shake him of, yet was unable to do so. “Can you let me go now?” she can only exhale heavily as she asked him to let her go.

“No I won’t let you go! You’ll stay here because you are unable to step away from here.” As in on the edge of spiraling, Anthony proclaimed resolutely, leaning his forehead on her stomach.

Audrey can only looked up to the gloomy skies as she closed her eyes recalling their tragic past.

“I never asked for a lot, Anthony. All my life i only wanted to give all my best in love, hoping that I’ll recieve even partly of that love and I don’t think I could ever love you like that anymore.”

She loved him with all of her heart and he broke her heart over and over again. Yet she forgave him, and it took all her love for him to glue it back together.

Angling his head to face her, his eyes enamoured and mad, almost insane. “It doesn’t matter. My love will make up for the both of us, It’ll be more than enough or-or I can just make you fall for my again. Yes! I’ll wait, you can take your time. Just… stay with me.” Anthony could only get more and more frantic as seconds pass.

Audrey was sensing danger coming from the man pleading her to stay. She needed to leave.

“Anthony, let’s talk about this soon, Alright. I need to compose my self so I could-” she couldn’t even finish what she wanted to assert when she felt a pinch in her hand. Antony had injected her with something.

In all of a sudden their positions was change, she was in Anthony’s arms as she felt her muscle grow weak, her breathing was slowing down and her sight was blackening. Her nerves told her that someone was rubbing her cheeks, she was unable to do anythin due to her state.

“You’re unable to step away from here because I won’t allow you to. You're mine for life now.” he proclaimed to her unconscious state like a deranged maniac he is.
