Chapter 5

It had been a week since the death of Evelyn to the world; however, her corpse couldn't be found as most people assume that the wild animals had devoured it, or she fell to a shallow hole. Mrs Anna held a bundle of flower as she had come over to Evelyn's apartment as she often does that since the past few days each day Mrs Anna leaves a memory of her daughter who never listens and always claims right. She sat in Evelyn's study room remembering the old memories and max walked in, they were both missing a part of their lives.

"It's time Mrs Anna" he reckoned, and she nodded while getting on her feet, they were going to bury off evelyn's clothing which was the pieces of a dress found in the mountains which Mrs Anna affirmed that it is her's daughter. It was going to represent Evelyn's body somewhat.


A week away from home in the uncanny mansion gave her sleepless night as two men check in on her, one for the day and the other for the night, as though preparing her for something ahead. Only the one at night claims she was his wife through the contract, she sighed, while the one for the day must be a servant here. She was provided with everything needed, although baffled that the man with blue eyes haven't made love to her because from stories she read about contracted marriages, it was only the woman's body that was needed. Craving to see what awaits her in this damped place, yet it would just be another nightmare. She had taken a shower for the day, and it was late at night now, this time the man who inclines to be hers was going to step in. She sat patiently and just as she guessed he walked in, and she stood up, folding her fist. "Is this the perfect way to treat your bride?" Evelyn began narrowing a brow at him, why does he ever appear at night and always in the dark, she was willing to accept her fate as belle this time around. Alex leaned his face to Evelyn, which made her heart skipped while her eyes rolled like a frustrated clock. He began to unbutton the shirt he wore, and she swallowed, trying not to be tempted by his appealing appearance. She blamed herself for the thought sex in a contracted marriage.

"I'm not ready" she muttered in a sober tone, and he scoffed. "You never would be" he responded as he held her shoulder and slammed his lips against hers, Alex goaded her lips to weakly part for him while plunging his tongue in like a starving beast. She whimpered and groaned in her throat as his ardent, demanding kiss became even more wild. Evelyn attempts to refrain, but he held her hands while lifting her to the bed, her voice had ceased as this man had her pinned to the bed, he suddenly terminated the kiss and by then, she was completely breathless and out of sort that Evelyn felt this man had sucked the life out of her. He encircled his arms around her waist which made her flinched, was this man going to have her tonight just when she was relieved that such wouldn't happen. Everything happening in this place were according to the plans of these two beings. It was going to be her first time making love with an unknown man. She never yielded to max demands as she was just a busy lady and here someone was going to take advantage of her. His gaze on her propelled an erotic desire as he embraced her, Evelyn was feeling the length of this man's hard warm body against her. Burning with sensation, Alex ripped off her cloth, which exposes her naked skin except her panties that were on. She covered her bare breast with her palm as hot tears gushed out, while shaking uncontrollably.

"Please don't! Go away!" she pleaded, hiccuping and staring into his eyes as though hypnotizing him. Alex's grip on her softened, he sensed something about her nervous eyes while pulled him back forcefully, it must have been what attracted him to her. Quickly, Evelyn wrapped herself with the blanket and winced, embarrassed that he was staring at her nude. Alex suddenly left the room, confused as he headed straight for the woods. He didn't lock the door this time, Evelyn wiped her tears and stared at the door. All the dress she wore for the days spent here was provided by the former, and now the latter had ripped one of hers. The room was suffocating as she picked up one of the clothing set on a table to wear. Her pleading words might have soothing his heart, she thought while walking towards the door. This stranger might have left it opened deliberately, and she treads out. Her legs were steady and slow as she climbs down the long stair barefooted. While attempting to escape the second day of her arrival, she didn't realize how beautiful this part of the house was, as the place she was kept was more like a segregated area. As always, the place was silence and everywhere locked except that one could take a walk around the enchanting castle so to say, of which she was doing. A cat lost it way into the place and had been kept in a cage around the lobby of this house. It could keep her company perhaps, there was no camera or phone to record live what she was experiencing in this heat up place. The cat meow distressed as it was taking its nap before an intruder came. It watched Evelyn shake its bar and winced.

"Hello?". The cat winced at her and licked it's fur on the fingers.

"We both are kept hostage, my friend" she commented, running back to her room to get the cat something to eat. Returning within some seconds, she arrived with Bacon and shrewd it into pieces, quite moderate for the cat to chew.

"Don't worry, we would get out of here and get those demons arrested" she assured. There was no hope in the poor thing's eyes as it had stayed longer than she was here and witness a lot of tragedy in this mansion. "Are they the only ones here?" She asked, and the cat scratched its fingers on the cave. It seems the cat had given her the answer, which was a yes, probably from its look. From her evaluation, this building must be the tallest in this area and people walking around it certainly admires it. Evelyn's eyes accidentally met her bag, which hung across the cat's cage. She hauled it from the position and search through it if her items were intact, and it was.

"This is our gateway to freedom" she muttered, and the cat kept a stiff eyeball at her as though understood everything this crazy looking lady was saying. Her hand touched the camera in her bag and she sighed a relief, she dug furthered and grab her phone only that it's power had been shut down, but that didn't matter. Her hand got hold of the necklace she had collected from the cave, and she was compelled to wear it, at least when she gets out, she could make profit from a buyer along the countryside and the money derived could get her home. The cat meow loudly and Evelyn brought out a pin which she used to unlock the cat.

"Only you know the way out" she beckoned, and the cat lead the way in, excited as it would be free from this mansion. The cat stopped its moves at a wall which seemed plan, this part of the house was found underground, which meant the cat was quite familiar with this place. It used it's paw and scratched the wall causing a brick to fall out, its pitiful eyes staring at Evelyn gave her a hint that there was a secret passage in this place. The hole was small and could only fit the slender cat but surprisingly, the cat wouldn't leave behind its new-found friend, and it placed its hands on the wall, it suddenly shanks in causing a door and Evelyn gave the cat a wry smile. They both trampled at the passage, which was scary in looks as insects and reptiles made this place their home. The sight of it gave her horripilations and for the cat, it had already jumped on Evelyn's arm while its hair stood up to the end. Although it was dark here, but the reflection of the moon through the rooftop directed her path. The two got out of the place and found themselves in one of the mountains. Evelyn heaved a relief. At last, their efforts wasn't vain, as it always happens to be. Team work perfectly suits at this appropriate time. The cat jumped down and stretched its body, it's work here have been done and it was going to retire home and Evelyn better does so before she gets caught again.
