THE CEO AND ME!

It was late when I had gained my consciousness. I did not know how much late but it was quite late in the evening.

My head was pounding very hard and all I wanted to do was find a way out of here before Josh gets here.

So far I could not even raise my body up to stand and walk out of the room at least but I was not giving up without trying to my best-known ability.

I was aware of the fact that going out through the door would be useless so I would not even try there.

I was aiming for the window, behind the bed. It was kept open and so I crawled my way towards it and with the support of the wall with both my hands, I stood up.

I very cautiously let my head out to see if Josh had made any guards waiting for me and when I saw that there was no one, I felt a bit confident.

Maybe there was a chance for me to get out of here after all. He must have thought that I would not even try to escape from here.

I was on the first floor so jumping off from it, did not seem difficult only because I had done it before when I was fifteen or sixteen. I tried to escape from the boarding hostel to catch my pet squirrel who ran off from the cage.

Although it had been five long years since doing it, I could remember the day very well as it was the day when I did something out of order, something I was not told to do.

I limped walked towards the bed and took off the sheets and tied it together making it a rope. It was getting a little short when I tied one of its end to the bedpost.

So I undid my pants and tied them to the other end making it longer. The white shirt was coming to my knees so I was good. I could wear the pants off later anyways after I climbed down.

Once everything was done, I climbed up the window pane and very carefully, let myself down holding onto the rope very tightly closer to my chest and continued to crawl downwards.

I could not believe myself doing it but I was doing it only because I knew it was the only way I could part my ways from Josh forever or I would be trapped with him for life and I would have no way out than killing myself.

When I was closer to the concrete ground, I let go of the rope and fell on my rear on the ground very lightly so that I did not hurt myself.

I breathed in relief for successfully getting out and without wasting much time, I untied the pants off from the pile of clothes and wore them back.

I started limping out of the property right after. He did not put any guards outside either. He really thought I would remain in the room once he locked me off thereafter a good beating. He always thought so little of me.

The building was off from the main road so it took me about five minutes from getting there.

I felt safe when I saw the people walking, cars moving here and there. At least he would not dare to drag me out from public place, right?

I had no idea in which direction I was heading to but I did not stop and let my feet walk on. I got strange stares from the people that moved close by me.

They did not know what I had been through so they had no right to judge me.

I was aware of how bad I looked. My forehead was red from dried blood and there were purple-black bluish bruises all over my faces I knew that I looked like an utter mess but that was the least of my concern.

I had to get out of here. That was what I kept repeating in my mind over and over again. I had to go far from here so he could not find me that easily.

I did not know when I collided with someone in front of me only because I was losing my consciousness once again out of exhaustion.

"Hey, look where you are walking to."

The woman said making me step back. I opened my mouth trying to apologise but it only came out in a damn whisper.

"I m...so...sorry, ma'am. sorry!"

I knew that whatever I was saying was not clear to her as she kept looking at me weirdly.

Although I could not take a clear look at her face because my vision was getting messed up and I wanted to reach a safer place before I fell down, senseless.

"Hey...wait...are you, Tinsley??"

How the hell she knew my name?? I shook my head in positive as I was not interested in finding out how she knew it. My vision was getting foggy, black and white.

"Oh my God, what happened to you?? Did you get into an accident or something??"

She started interrogating me with questions and I wanted to scream at her face to piss off as I was losing my damn time and I needed to keep moving.

I was only a few minutes away from where I was held captive and about to lose my senses already. He could be coming through here and then drag me back to there.

I tried to push my way out from her but she held me back which only made me more frantic to go away.

"Hey...hey wait. You are not in the right state to move past. Were you not with Josh?? What the hell happened to you?? "

Listening to Josh's name made me want to push her off of me and run away but it was exactly at that moment, my senses gave up on me and I fell down, listening to her screaming my name which then turned to nothingness.
