Chapter 15
[ Freedom ]
Trembling on the floor, experiencing the coldness in the basement. Her legs were chained like a prisoner. The chains felt colder than it looks. Allie swore that she could kill herself rather than living in that hellish mansion owned by damn stunning-face monster. She would not even care about her life but to no avail, she still had her family, her mother. Oh how she thought she could have listened to her mother that night. Her regrets brought her down more than she was before.
Allie's life was a disaster ever since he walked right into her life. Justin Hudsons had taken everything from her life especially- her virginity, freedom.
Her dignity.
Though, he was a good man with a good heart but he had a problem of handling someone he loved and cared. All the girls would fall for him but they would not want to know what was there in his bad side. God knows how many times she tried to escape but it seemed failure has gone too attached with her fate.
Allie sighed, dragging her legs up to her chest and hugged them, hoping the warmth could calm her. She felt like she was waiting for something that would never ever going to happen.

Then she heard a sound that she knew to be a footstep before the basement's door. She hugged herself in more protective way while she glared directly at the door. She was waiting for what was going to happen, it could go very good or very bad. Mixed emotions of scared and mad but she managed to keep calm.
She heard a click, signing the door was unlocked. Justin Hudsons walked in holding a blanket and closed the door gently. Allie broke her glare and stared the floor, avoiding his eyes contacts. She overheard his light sigh as he was kneeling in front of her. He covered her trembling body with the blanket. Allie didn't even flinch as she stayed the way she was like a cold statue. She felt slighty relieved since the blanket provided her some warmth. She took a glance at his face.
'What now?' She thought to herself.
"Im sorry," He broke the eerie silence. Allie was shocked for a moment since that was not what she really expected coming from his mouth. She was expecting- well more yelling or probably violence. She looked at him in the eyes, his eyes were shimmering blue like she could feel his honesty or even- sincerity. Allie snapped out of her thoughts, "It's a statement. You don't even meant it." Her hoarse voice scratched Justin's heart. He knew, she was hurt both physically and mentally- and all was because of him, himself. His heart was pounding, thoughts about losing her flashed through his mind. He was scared. He was scared if Allie's hatred towards him had grown bigger as the time passed until he wouldn't be able to handle it. He didn't want to keep her prisoned, like a slave to his heart. No.
He lowered his head as he rested his hands on her shoulders, "I mean it," He looked right into her eyes, "I really mean it, I promise." His voice was soothing, brought up Allie's trust towards him. She held herself in, trying not to burts out crying. "I'm sorry for what I've done, I'm sorry I couldn't handle my own heart, my own lust, my desire-" He lightly sighed, holding himself together, "I know.. I'm the worst person you'd ever met. I took everything from you and I am aware of that. But to keep you with me, to protect you, I'd do anything."
Allie gripped her hands tightly that could leave scars in her palms. "Why?" She muttered, tears were starting to form in her eyes, "Why are you so obsessed- with me? I'm not a property, that you could own and throw. You'd probably kick me out when you get bored. Just what am I to you? A doll? I have heart. I have feelings."
"You are finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I've ever known. You're the only one I adore-" He answered but Allie interrupted, "Beauty doesn't last longer."
"-But your heart does," Justin caressed her cheeks, "I don't know what will happen if I lose you." Allie frowned, "Then why did you do this?".
"Because if I don't, you'd never learn that you're mine. You'd always try to escape, but I can always find you. I apologize for being too attached to you. You're too precious to me and I can't bare to lose you."
The conversation remained silence. Words stucked in Allie's mouth. Her eyes only stared at him. Million thoughts are running in her head.His words confused her to the point she was speechless.
'What's that supposed to make me feel? Am I supposed to be happy? Or am I supposed to be sad? Or even- angry?'
The sound of chains made Justin snapped. He noticed how terrible it looked having legs chained to the cold wall. His heart dropped to think that he was the one who made her suffer. Justin stroked Allie's bruised ankle. He slipped out the key from his pocket and unlocked the chain. He freed her legs as he kept caress her ankles. He held himself in from tearing up as muttered the same words, "Sorry." All over again.
"I-I'm sorry too," To his surprised, Allie said words that he could never expect of. He turned his head, staring at her, questioning why would she say sorry, "I lied because I was told to do so. J-Jack threatened me. He'd kill me if I tell you anything. He could have choked me to death, I was terrified. So I kept quiet. I-I didn't know he would say that to you. I'm.. I'm sorry that I lied."
Justin smiled and chuckled lightly. He felt relieved, overjoyed the fact that Allie apologized. He moved his hands wrapping his arms around her and pat her head. While he strokes her hair, Allie felt the warmth, a gentle warmth, covering her whole body. It was soothing, gesturing that Justin forgave her.
Oh how he would never want to pull apart from the warm hug. He just wanted that moment to stay forever but he knew life wouldn't be that easy. He kissed her forehead as he pulled away and stood up. He knew her legs was bruised, he didn't think Allie could walk so he carried her in bridal style. "I'll carry you upstairs, and I'll treat your bruises, okay?" Allie nodded.
On their way to his room, the walked past Sheila was sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phones. Allie took a glance at Sheila and Sheila noticed. They exchanged warm smile and Allie felt a little hope, a little light in her heart.

He put her in her bed. Allie got up, sitting as Justin was looking for the aid. He noticed Allie was trying to reposition her seat, "You should lay down." Allie shook her head, "I need shower." Justin sighed in defeat, "Fine," he placed the aid on the mini table beside the bed, "Tell me when you're done, I'll treat your bruises, okay?". Allie nodded as Justin took a towel that hang over the extending end of the cleat and handed it to Allie.
Allie appreciated that side of him. The sweet, kind and gentle side. But he could change in a split of second if something didn't meet his expectation. And that- was terrifying.
"I was at fault, making you experience this, but Jack is dangerous I have to protect you," Justin said before he opened the door.
'He's right. My life's matter right now.'
Jack could have really killed her. He was brave enough to mess with Justin's love, that would prove he'd do anything to get what he wanted.
Before he walked out from the room, Allie said "I'll listen. As long as Jack stop pestering me, I'll agree on anything you'd do to him."
"That's my girl," He smirked.
'Here we go again, another day with him. My obsessive stalker.'
