MEREDITH'S POV

My body was weak the second time I woke up, what were they even doing to me? the door creaked open and a man walked in. It was dark and I couldn't make out who he was, till he leaned in and touched my face.
Dad!  Dad!

"Dad!  What are you doing here, Mr Andrew is holding me hostage he's been drugging me I don't know what he wants with me. Dad please help me, I'm so tired"

"Nenye stop crying, you'll be fine, stop crying"

"Dad you don't understand, for years I've been blaming you for everything, blaming myself for what happened. I let him make me hate you, I let this change me turn me into this unlucky person 
Maybe he can just finish me, I'm tired, I'm just tired dad!"

"You know amongst all your siblings you're the only one who's like me. We hurt, but we store it in here, our heart and we are afraid to accept that vulnerability. Listen to me nenye accept that pain, anger, let it fuel you. Live through it and fight. There's no shame in feeling pain and think hard baby, fate is on our side"

"Dad I don't want to remember it, it'll hurt"

"That's the point baby, your pain makes you stronger, stop running from your problems face it!  It's your past why don't you let all these things go, don't let it shape your future take control of your present and secure your future"

"Dad, would you please help me?"

"I will hun just keep your eyes open I'll be back"

"Dad please don't go!  Please don't leave me!"

I woke up screaming and the figure I saw in front of me startled me.

"Hello again Meredith! Or should I say ex future daughter in law, i mean to think of how confident you had become, threatening me, withdrawing the merger, telling my wife and daughter those lies"

"You know I'm not even surprised that you did this, and stop accusing me of what I didn't do, I would love to take credit for opening the eyes of your wife and daughter but clearly it belongs to you, Jane found out on her own and I'm pretty sure they've figured out that you took me. "

" I wouldn't be so sure about that, you don't even know how long you've spent here, do you?  You're lucky my boys are discipline enough to give you pee breaks and all even feed you. I told them to starve you, and keep you sedated, Why do you think you've been sleeping so much? "

" Whatever it you're doing, you won't get away with it, my parents will hunt you down, KJ won't forgive you"
Forgive me? he doesn't have a choice, I gave that boy a family or didn't you know? You two keep a lot of secrets for a couple, I keep just one secret from my wife "

" I won't let you get away, you'll pay for what you did to me in the past and what ever you try to do me 'why would he say he gave KJ a family, wasn't he KJ's father, this man was nuts"

A deep laughter roared, he kept laughing hysterically and I was confused.

"What I did to you in the past, what is wrong with you. I see!  That hit you got on the head messed you up real good"

"Why are you pretending, you know what you did and what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Meredith you are one sweet, innocent fool that's why I can never let you go, I've been with other girls but you!  You eluded me. You made me want you for years and finally nature brought you back to me."

"Want me!  Are you even listening to yourself, you rapist,you , you disgust me! The girls you raped , girls even which means jane's friend is not the only one. You are despicable!"

"Don't make me angry Meredith, they were victims because of you, I wanted you and when you refused me I was afraid that I'd get locked up, but luckily for me you wanted more , wasn't that why you didn't tell anyone, not your mother, your father, not even your siblings. When I thought I had lost you, you came crawling back to me"

This man was a psychopath
"Are you even listening to yourself, I was just 14 and I never liked you, I just saw you in our house that day and the next thing you attacked me. I will forever loathe you, you Bastard, rapist!"

This time he was upset and slapped me

"Stop calling me a rapist! I didn't even harm you, how could you forget what really happened between us, I never even got to enjoy what you were offering".

I was stunned what was he blabbing
"What do you mean by that, do you mean you never.. You didn't actually.... Oh my God!"

"How could you forget?  The hit must have been too hard, I can't believe you forgot?"

I saw wounds on my body, on my thighs I thought you.....

"Oh no Mer, I didn't, I can remember exactly how it happened. Your father had issues at his office and directed me to wait at his house, where would have the meeting for a merger. He must have thought you all were not in the house.
The maid ushered me in, and when I was settled I notice that after fifteen minutes everyone was out of the house. I didn't know why, then I saw you. A beautiful angel in your pink mini skirt, I had seen you a few times with your father but you never paid attention to me. I had my chance and when I called out to you. I asked you why the house was suddenly quiet and you told me you told all the workers to leave and have fun. I then knew you did it for us, creating an environment suitable for our romance.

But when I reached for an embrace, you kicked me. I then knew that our love was the violent one, I had to chase you around the sitting room, tear your clothes to show you just how much I wanted you. Maybe I should have been gentler, because when I almost got to where I wanted you slipped away.

The last time I threw you so hard on the chair, hoping you'd be more welcoming but instead you slipped and hit your head so hard that you became unconscious. I thought you had died, but when I wanted to leave I heard a young man come in. Peter!  Clever boy!  He knew what happened and when I pulled a gun on him, he knew better than to help me take care of you.

I did have to get Peter out of the way and when I suggested a merger to his parents they were willing. Peter of course was under constant watch and I pulled a few strings and got him out of the way. Haven't you ever wondered why Peter never got to see you again. I threatened him with so many things including stripping his parents off everything they had, his girlfriend even you Mer!
He made the smart choice and here we are. "

" I couldn't believe what I was hearing, living my life in shame, regret and all of it was a lie. How could I not remember, why didn't I even tell my parents, my mom.
I didn't know if I should be relieved happy, or sad about what the idiot had revealed to me. "

I was brought out of my thoughts, when he reached for my trousers and started pulling them off, there was no way I was letting him harm me this time. I started kicking him, but the more I kicked the more he came. My hands were tied to the chair but my legs were allowed to move.

He gave me a kick on the stomach and I winced in pain, help!  Help!  Was all I could manage to breathe out.
He gave me another kick and I felt my organs stiffen. Then he continued with what he was doing, this time I couldn't even stop him. I started making prayers, hoping for a savior.
My phone rang, all of a sudden and he paused.

Mom was calling me, he rejected the call and when it continued ringing he smashed it on the floor.
Any moment from now, the only thing left for him to get to would be my panties, I couldn't even fight back and tears were streaming down.

Finally my trousers were on the floor then he slowly traced his fingers from my toes to my thigh, all I wanted to do was to throw up. When he had finally gotten to the edge of my panties I shut my eyes. There was no way I was going to watch this horror.
Dear God please,was all I could mutter.

Then a gunshot was heard, followed by another, something was wrong. He sensed the imminent danger and left assuring me that he would be back.
I mustered up strength hoping that the rope they tied me with would break but it didn't.

I gave up struggling, maybe this was my destiny after all to be Andrews plaything.

A/N: Andrew is one psycho!!
