Chapter 25

Private Number: "Because u can't run away from me in ur state."
That's the worst reason and the reason why I don't want to go tomorrow! How can I run away from him if something were to happen!?
Private Number: "I'll go and prepare for our date tomorrow, so I wouldn't be able to keep u in check, but I will know if you go somewhere." And with that he gracefully disappeared again leaving me in the depths of despair.
Even though my husband, Diamond, was talking on the screen my mind and thoughts were occupied with planning out an escape, an escape out of this supposed date that will take place tomorrow unless I do something about it.
"I can't believe this." I groaned as I dragged my hands down over my face slightly pulling on my eyelids in frustration. I just can't ever catch a breather, can I?
In a hunched over sitting position, I started to nibble at my thump racking through my brains for any ideas.
I can't just tell him that I'm sick since he knows when I lie. I wouldn't even be shocked if he somehow has my health record lying around somewhere. I can't run nor hide because of my sprained ankle and because he's able to track me down everywhere.
I let an exasperated sigh as my focus shifted to my ankle.
'Maybe if I stare at it long and hard enough then maybe it would heal somehow?'
And just like an idiot that I am I stared at it for a prolonged time feeling the veins in my eyes pulsating from the strain that I was giving them.
'Heal! Heal! Heal!' I chanted never looking away.
After a long time of staring the feeling of my eyes slowly starting to dry out and the lasting throbbing pain that could be felt from my ankles I decided to give up.
"Who am I kidding." I said letting out a sigh, pitying myself.
'Should I just yield myself to him? It's just a date, what harm comes to one date? And next to the fact that he is a deranged murderer he is still a man, so I am sure that the date will be normal…?'
'Oh for fucks sakes who am I kidding!' I could feel myself tugging at my hair strands berating myself for even thinking that it could be fine. I have to get away from him fast otherwise my sanity wouldn't last for long!
My only option now is to just go along with him, but what now if I just leave really early in the morning. There's no way that he would be standing at my door early in the morning and seeing how he hasn't even set a time to meet I don't see how this can go wrong.
I leave early like six am? Take the bus somewhere far; before he even notices that I am on the move I would already be at god-knows-where place. The key point is to keep moving so he wouldn't be able to pin-point my exact location down and at the end of the day I come back home and sleep. That way we wouldn't have to go on a date at all!
Elated by my ingenious idea a big grin appeared on my face while I strike a victorious fist bump-pose.
"Now let's go to my chamber to prepare for the 'how to evade my stalker' plan!" I said determined while cascading away with my crutches.
…
The sunrays of the sunrise were trickling trough the curtains and I was already freshly awake ready to put my plans in actions. To make sure that I wouldn't stand out in the crowd I made sure to put on my incognito outfit which was a grey hoodie and grey sweatpants. An addition to that black shades were covering my eyes and a white mouth mask took the job the cover up my lower face making me completely unrecognizable.
I snorted prideful and took on a triumph pose staring myself in the mirror proud of my get-up with the crutches supporting my weight. My ankle didn't heal sadly enough, but that was to be expected let's just hope that I'll be able to move fast enough.
I doubled checked if I had everything with me, especially my phone because that's the key player.
I hopped carefully to the door and slowly opened it. The loud creaking sound that could be heard from the hinge that hasn't been oiled up in a while made me jolt up in surprise as I was on high alert. With my index finger pressed against my lips I hushed at it and at the thumping sound of my heart.
"God, will I be able to survive this day?" I muttered.
Slowly I felt an arm slithering his way around my waist pulling me against a rock-hard chest. "Why wouldn't you survive this day if I'm here with you?" The over familiar disguised voice whispered lowly in my ear.
"HOLY MOTHER OF-!" I shrieked as I tried to jump away; dropping my shades on the ground, but the strong arms held me in place.
"Careful, we don't want you to hurt your other ankle." The vibration of his chuckle could be felt through my fingertips that were still trying to push him away.
"Why are you here, Jack?" I asked wary.
He just silently looked at me and scoffed. "Cute outfit, you wanted to hide wearing that?"
"How?" I asked, feeling the color being drained from my face.
"Does it matter." He grumbled in a low sad voice as he thrusts a bouquet of white lilies into my hands.
Not expecting this gesture, I was left standing there taking in the flowers agape. "These are my favorite flowers…thanks?" I said as I shifted my eyes back to Jack who was now radiating happiness.
'What the?'
"Yeah, I knew that that's why I went out of my way to get these." He said puffing up his broad chest proudly.
I just stared in disbelieve at this man who now looked like giant dog waiting for his master to compliment him more. If you looked closely enough a wagging tail could be seen from his back.
A laugh escaped through my lips; finding him a little bit cute, but I quickly tried to cover it up with my hand. But that action was too late; my stalker was staring down at me deeply as he cupped my cheeks with his big covered hands.
"I really do love it when you laugh, you're so beautiful." He said in a mellow sweet voice. With quivering eyes, I averted away from his stare, pulling myself away from his touch without any words.
With slumped down shoulders he let out a sigh, but soon carried me in his arms away to the exit.
"P-Put me down." I said.
"But I like carrying you it's the best thing out of this date." He said playfully.
I huffed and just let myself being carried away.
'This plan has also failed, huh?' I thought bummed out.
The car that waited for us was this time a white land range rover. With a mind boggled expression, I stared at it.
'How many cars does this person have!?'
He chuckled at my expression. "I have five other cars if that's what you were wondering." He said as he put me inside the car and just like last time buckled me in.
In aw I just stared around until something caught my eyes.
Jack got inside and started to put the car in drive. "Why aren't there any locks inside the car?" I asked. No matter where I looked no locks nor door handles could be seen in this car.
"Ah~" He drawled out. "That's to keep certain people from running away; you can only open the door from my side." He said in an eerily voice as he started to drive away.
"Sorry?"
