MARIANNE.

I've never been this scared in my entire life, I really thought Kathy was going to kill me when she suddenly pulled out the knife not until Ricardo showed up.

I couldn't even fight her back because she was being so violent and she was also holding a knife that got my hands tied down and my injured fingers weren't helping matters too. I couldn't retaliate and just kept pleading for mercy but she was crazy upstairs and turned deaf ears to my pleas.

The look in her eyes showed how determined she was to kill me.

I sincerely don't know what's going on between her and Ricardo because she kept accusing me of stealing him away from her.

Did they have a fight or what? Even though, he should have been able to handle it without getting me involved.

"She can't come out, I've tied her up and also locked her in the basement. I would take care of her once I return but as of now, I have to go somewhere." Ricardo said and I swallowed so hard.

How does he expect me to relax when that crazy bitch is in the same house with me?

I'm still not over the fact that I almost got killed a few minutes ago.

"I am not you and I admit the fact that I'm very scared right now, why don't you take her along with you and go deal with her yourself? Locking her in here doesn't make any sense at all, I don't care if you tied or locked her up but I don't just want her around, please." I begged him persistently, not ready to let go of him.

"Listen to me Marianne, if you're too scared, just remain in your room and lock yourself till I return. I'm so busy right now, I'm supposed to be somewhere right now if not I have to reverse after seeing your text. Doctor Maxwell will come later to treat your wounds," Ricardo said as he released himself from my hold and walked out.

I sighed heavily and fell on the couch next to me. This is all his fault for not chaining the dog he has as a girlfriend, fuckmates or whatever.

I'm sure life would have gone on had it been Kathy succeeded in killing me, I'm not sure he is going to brood or feel guilty at all.

Why does he have to even lock her up in this mansion? He should have just taken her along with him and dealt with her somewhere else!

I feel like I'm walking on needles since she is in the same house with me right now, anything can happen!

"Ricardo!!!" I suddenly heard a faint yell and I sprang up immediately.

This isn't funny at all, I can't have peace of mind until he takes her out of the room he locked her in.

So what if she loosened up herself, escaped and successfully killed me this time?

Gosh! I'm having creeps!

I suddenly saw the small knife she wanted to use on me earlier while lying on the floor, I had to pick it up immediately.

I cleared out the other knives in the kitchen and hid them in the cupboard, just in case she escaped and attempted to stab me.

I could still hear her shouting and screaming her lungs out even if she was locked up in a basement.

I never even knew that there was a basement in this house, I guess there might be other secret rooms I don't know of.

I took some fruits and snacks and locked myself in my room. I just plugged in air pods and decided to watch movies.

Maybe doing that would take my mind off what happened a few minutes ago and it might calm my nerves.

Thirty minutes passed and the house became silent, I couldn't hear Kathy's shouts and screams.

I got curious and decided to go check if she was still in there or if she already found her way out.

I actually don't know where the basement was located but I heard her screaming from the storage room.

I tiptoed from my room and climbed the stairs slowly.

My heart was in my mouth as I did that, I couldn't stop imagining her suddenly jumping in front of me or even grabbing me from behind.

There are numerous storage rooms but I think I heard her shouting from the one close to the study room.

Immediately I stepped into the storage room, I heard Kathy's voice and I freaked out because it was louder in here.

"Yah! Is that you Marianne? Come untie me this minute before I lose it completely. How could you make him do this to me? I swear, I'm going to rip you into pieces once I'm finally out of here, I'm going to pull out all your hairs!" She screamed like a madwoman and I gulped; she was quiet until I came in here.

It's funny how she is asking for my help while threatening me. Does she think I am an idiot?

"I know you're there but you're just choosing to turn deaf ears, you think you've won now that things are rough between us? Never! I'm not going to let him go and even if I wanted to, I would never leave you for him. I don't know what you might have done to him because he was never like this towards me but I'm going to undo it. You can never have him, not while I'm still breathing!" Kathy swore and I was astounded.

She is really going mad over Ricardo or should I say she is obsessed with him already?

I thought they were cool so why is she sounding like this? Did Ricardo tell her anything weird because she sounded as if I took Ricardo from her?

There was a small door on the floor in the middle of the empty storage room.

It was locked, I guess it leads to the basement she got locked in.

This should be a relief since there's no way she is going to escape except if someone helps her but I'm still not at peace.

"Did he dump you?" I asked her calmly,

"Yah! Who do you think you are to ask me that? You're indirectly mocking me right? I'm going to deal with you so badly bitch! Just know you're done for once I'm out of here. I'm going to kill you for real, I will make sure you have no peace!" She kept screaming and I could hear her struggling to get untied.

I had to leave and just return back to my room, Ricardo should return back soon and just get her out of there.

...

My eyes flew open when I heard the notification sound of my phone, I sat up on my bed and rubbed my sleepy eyes.

I didn't even know when I slept off after Doctor Maxwell came over and checked on my wounds.

I stood up and pulled the curtains aside, I gasped lightly when I realized it was night already. For how long have I been asleep?

Was it because of the pain relief drugs I took?

I exhaled sharply and fell heavily on my bed.

Right? Kathy is still in that basement!

I immediately sprang up on my feet and dashed out of my room straight to the storage room.

It was still locked though but I couldn't hear a single sound.

"Kathy?" I called out softly but received no response.

"Kathy! Are you pretending to be deaf this time around?" I asked, trying to piss her off but I didn't get a reply.

Is she still in there?

"Kathy!" I called for the third time but I didn't get a reply.

Wait, Ricardo said he tied her up right?

Could she have fainted because of tiredness and suffocation?

What if she dies there? I know that would be beneficial for me but I really don't wish for her death.

"The dinner!"

It suddenly rang in my head and I gasped with widened eyes, I totally forgot about it.

Jeez! What could the time be?

I rushed back to my room and checked my phone, Ricardo messaged me already.

"Hope you haven't forgotten about the dinner? I will be home by 9 pm, be ready by then because we are already late."

I checked the time and it was 8:39 pm

Damn! I'm fucked! I haven't even picked out a dress yet, I need to be faster than lightning right now.

I settled on putting on a brown dress with white classy heels. The gown hugged my body and stopped at the middle of my tights, it was slightly slit at the right side.

I knew I looked so perfect in the gown, I needed no one to tell me that!

I styled my hair into a messy bun and didn't get it correctly because I was being so hasty but I had to leave it like that.

There was no time to apply make-up so I used lip gloss and wore jewelry only.

I heard the sound of Ricardo's car driving in, just at the right time!

I immediately rushed out of my room and rushed back in after realizing I left my bag and my phone behind.

As soon as I arrived at the sitting room, Ricardo came in at that moment.

"I'm all done already,” I announced immediately as he came in.

He suddenly stood on a spot as he scanned me with his eyes from head to toe.

He had this surprised expression on his face and just kept staring at me.

Three minutes passed and he was still staring at me, I got really uncomfortable and began adjusting my dress.

Is my dressing sense lame or did I not look good enough?
