His Secret Obsession
Chapter 100

(Emery)

**Two Weeks Later**

Two weeks have gone by since Ethan was released on bail and there hasn't been a single issue so far. Scott ended up renting an apartment here for the time being..yeah, a bit excessive I know. But it's nice having him around honestly..and a lot of times my Uncle ends up meeting up with us if I go to the store or run into town while Asher is at school.

My online classes are going well, I just hate having to miss out on all of this. I had this whole idea of what my first year on campus would be like and so far it's the complete opposite. Plus now that Asher and I are together I wanted to meet up with him between classes and go get lunch with him or just hang out with his friends.. you know, cutesy stuff like that. Because I never had that...I never dated anyone in high school and didn't get to experience that type of stuff..so now I am just stuck here at home slowly going mad. I didn't realize how hard it would be to give up your freedom like this. I can't just go for a walk down the street or out to get a coffee without some big production. But today I am trying to stay optimistic because I know it's all for my safety..Just a few more weeks and it will all be over, hopefully. The court date has been scheduled for three weeks from now. I have no idea what will happen but I might be testifying against Ethan and I am nervous as hell to do it. I am trying not to think about that right now though..we still have time to freak out later down the road.

I quickly hopped in the shower and lathered my body with soap. Asher left at 5 am this morning and I was already done with one of my classes for the day. I just have another at two so I have a few hours to kill before then.

After getting out of the shower and getting dressed, I looked in the mirror while brushing my teeth and began studying my features carefully. Ever since getting with Asher, I feel like a totally different woman. I feel confident for the first time in my life and more bold than ever. Tonight I have plans for my baby..tonight is the night I cash in on that bet. I don't know exactly how I'm going to get the stuff I need without seeming like a complete freak to Scott..but I have to be stealthy about it.

I spit the toothpaste into the sink before wiping my mouth and brushing my hair. Today I was wearing a white t-shirt with light-wash jeans and a pair of red Converse which Asher bought me as a gift. He won't be home for another few hours and I wanted to surprise him tonight.

I was about to grab my purse when I suddenly heard my phone ringing, making me pull my phone out of my back pocket. As soon as I saw Asher's name on the screen I couldn't help but smile.

"Hey, baby." I answered as my stomach fluttered with those usual butterflies I always get when talking with Asher.

"Fuck baby I miss you so much. I just needed to hear your voice." Asher responded without even saying hello which made me chuckle as I reached for my bag and slung it over my body.

"I miss you too, how was practice today?" I asked while walking through our bedroom and heading towards the living room.

"Good, we are shaping up nice for the game next week. What are you doing? Are you going somewhere?" Asher asked curiously, making me smile as I opened the front door and headed toward the elevator.

"Just going to run some errands. Don't worry..Scott is waiting for me downstairs and I will text you as soon as I get there." He has been super paranoid about Ethan being too quiet..I mean, I get it..with how Ethan was before it's hard not to think he might be planning something. But maybe he really has moved on? Maybe going to jail was a wakeup call and he realized his mistake. A girl can only hope..

"Okay..I also called the County Clerk's office and made the appointment for tomorrow. It shouldn't take long to get the marriage license then we are all set baby." Asher informed me, making my heart swell with happiness.

"That easy huh? Then we could run off and get married the same day?" I joked, making Asher chuckle as I heard a deep sigh leave him.

"Don't tease me like that Emery..you know I would." He said in a more serious tone.

"I know baby, but I also know my uncle would throw a fit..I feel like Dad would be fine but Uncle Jack is becoming some type of bridezilla..only he isn't even the bride. Earlier he texted me a list of songs he wants me to approve for our dance." I grumbled, feeling the elevator stop as the doors opened and a muscular guy with tan skin and a black hoodie walked on.

"He is picking our first dance song?!" Asher shouted, drawing my attention back to him as his voice filled with annoyance.

"No baby, he is planning his own dance with me..like a choreographed father-daughter type dance." I laughed, yeah..who knew my uncle would be the type? He came up with the idea and sent me all sorts of dances we could learn. My dad couldn't stop laughing when Uncle Jack told him..

"Oh..why aren't we doing a choreographed dance?" Asher whined as I rolled my eyes and looked over toward the guy in the hoodie briefly, almost forgetting he was there.

"We can talk about it..but honestly I probably only have one in me..you have seen how coordinated I am." I whispered, feeling embarrassed for saying it out loud in front of a stranger.

Suddenly I glanced towards the guy in the elevator again..I couldn't see his face fully but something about him made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. He kept glancing over towards me and I tried to act like I didn't notice. That's when I realized the elevator wasn't going to the lobby anymore..it was going to the below-ground parking garage. What the hell? Did I not push the button hard enough or something?

I glanced at the man again and my heart began to hammer against my chest..no, I am just being paranoid..this can't be related to Ethan..my head began to spin as fear filled me completely. Scott would know if something was up..usually he meets me upstairs at our place but today I told him just to meet me downstairs..how stupid of me. I just need to calm down..this is probably just some random guy who lives here.

"Baby..did you hear me?" Asher asked, his voice filled with confusion as I felt frozen in place. I cleared my throat before casually stepping forward, trying to act normal as I went to hit the Lobby button, but before I could my hand was stopped.

I could feel the man's fingers on my wrist squeezing me tight as I looked up and was met with cold green eyes and a wicked smile that caused my stomach to drop. I didn't recognize this guy..but he acted like he knew me.

"I am going to the lobby." I blurted, my voice cutting through the thick tension as I tried my hardest not to tremble in fear. I didn't want to freak out..I didn't want to panic, maybe this was all a misunderstanding. "What..baby, what did you say? Emery..fucking answer me..tell me what the fuck is going on." Asher began to shout. My silence fueled his fear as I tried to pull my arm out of this guys grasp.

"Sorry sweetheart, but you're coming with me." The man stated before taking a step closer to me, causing me to back into the elevator wall.

My eyes were locked on this stranger whose gaze filled with malicious intent as he dragged his eyes up and down my body, making my skin crawl.

"Asher help me, he won't let me go..." I whimpered out but before I could say anything else the guy yanked the phone out of my hand, smashing it against the elevator wall and causing me to shriek from the impact.

I began pulling my hand away from this psycho..my eyes flashing to the emergency elevator button as I went to lunge for it.

"Don't even think about it bitch!" The guy yelled, pulling me back by my hair as I let out a scream.

"Shut the fuck up!" He hissed next to my ear, his hand covering my mouth as he began fishing around in his hoodie pocket.

"Don't take it personal sweetheart..it's all just fucking buisness." His words made my eyes widen as he suddenly moved his hand from my mouth and shoved a cloth over it. I began kicking and screaming..trying to fight out of his grasp while holding my breath, telling myself not to inhale whatever the hell was on that rag.

My lungs began to burn, the urge to breathe consuming me as I couldn't hold out much longer, and gasped for air. I inhaled that strong chemical scent, making it fill my lungs as the room began to spin. My vision blurred and the last thing I saw was this man's cold green eyes as he smirked down at me wickedly.

I

"Don't worry, Angel, I will take good care of you." His deep voice whispered into my ear. Him calling me Angel confirming it all...Ethan sent this guy to get me. The fear of never seeing Asher again was the last thing I felt before I fell unconscious in the hands of this

monster.
