My Evil Boy Toy

PEGGY POV

My face hurts. My lips were swollen and my arms were numb. I could now feel some senses on my lower body, but I feel sore all over.

How can I be so stupid? Why did I mention Caden in this situation? What did father want from him? He's just three and knew nothing about this whole charade.

I need to find a way to contact Jayden. By now, I know he already knew I was missing.

I looked around the room again to see if there's a possible exit aside from the door. I mustered my strength and got down from the bed. I stood up slowly, trying to feel my feet.

I wobbled and fell on the floor. Good thing, my face didn't hit the floor so hard. I felt a sudden pain in my left ankle.

Fuck! It's painful. I remembered Alora's story when she was running away from her abductor. She has bruises all over her body but she didn't stop running. She was just around eleven that time.

I have to be brave. Jayden and Caden are waiting for me. I know Jayden would do anything to find me but I can't just sit down like a princess waiting to be saved by prince charming.

I took a deep breath and tried to stand up again. My knees were trembling and I think I broke my ankle when I fell. I frowned, I felt the pain when I finally got up.

I slowly walked towards the window to see what was outside. I was almost hopping with my other foot not stepping on the floor.

I leaned one of my shoulders when I reached the window to support myself. I was breathing rapidly because of the pain from my ankle and my wrists were starting to hurt.

I looked outside and was surprised to see the vast ocean from the window. Am I on an island? Where the fuck am I?

When I turned my head down, I saw a cliff. From the looks of it, I am in the highest room in the mansion. Am I locked in a tower?

I chuckled. I remember Kyle's words. He will always say he would lock me in a tower whenever he scolds me. Now, I am really confined in one.

I continued to chuckle but tears were falling from my eyes. How could this happen to me? To us? All I wanted was to meet my real father and have a happy and complete family. 

My wishes did come true, I met my father but what did I get? Only pain. And now, my husband and my son's life were in danger because of my father. 

I looked around the room again then walked towards the door. I heard distinct voices just outside the room. I tried to listen by leaning my head closer. But I couldn't understand what they were talking about.

Then I heard a thumping sound. It was like someone had just collapsed and fell on the floor. I saw a peep hole on the door and tried to look in it. I couldn't see anyone outside. 

What happened? What was that sound? I felt my heart was beating faster and it was pounding loudly. My whole body suddenly trembled.

I felt someone was at the door but I couldn't see who it was. I bit my lips and started to walk backwards when I heard a clicking sound from the door knob.

I waited for the door to open and for a person to come inside. But after a few minutes, no one entered. I was confused. I know someone just unlocked the door, I'm sure of it. I also heard voices before that. I'm not just hearing things.

I slowly walked towards the door again and looked at the peephole. No one was there and I couldn't hear anything.

I turned to the room again and looked around. I saw the glass father used earlier. I got closer to the table, turned around and used my hand to push the glass. 

When it broke, I crouched down and picked one of the broken glasses. I tried hard to cut the rope tied on my wrists. It was painful. The glass was also piercing my skin and I could feel that it was bleeding. But I didn't stop. I bit my lips to stop myself from wailing because of the pain.

"Ahh!" I gasped and breathed heavily when the rope finally snapped.

I looked at my wrists and saw a deep cut near the artery. It was bleeding. I tore the lining of my nightgown and wrapped it around my wrists to stop it from bleeding. I was crying, I was afraid the whole time. My hands were trembling but I had to try to escape from this place.

I walked back towards the door and with my shaking I slowly reached the knob and turned it. I felt relieved when it opened. There really was someone who unlocked the door. I wanted to know who it was but this is not the right time to think about it. I have to run outside and escape.

I tried to walk faster but I could feel the pain from my ankle with every step I made. I was walking in the hallway for almost half an hour and almost lose hope that I wouldn't be able to find the exit. But then I saw stairs. It was a spiral staircase, confirming that I was held in a tower. And it seems that the only room in this part of the mansion was the room I was being captive.

The stairs were narrow and dark. I was leaning on the wall for support since I was injured. The whole time I was walking down the stairs, I was praying. Praying that no one would go and check on me. Hoping that someone would save me from this hell hole. Wishing that Jayden and Caden would be safe.
