Chapter 18 - Get Out Of This Hell!

Third person's POV:

"Miss are you alright?" The older made sat beside Fiona and asked her.

"Am I looking alright to you?" Fiona said looking at the ceiling.

The older maid looked at her with pitiful eyes.

She took a good look over her wounds and carefully swabbed them with cotton ball soaked in antiseptic liquid. Fiona was wincing every time, the cotton was touching her open skin. When the maid was done, her eyes darted to Fiona's thighs. There were splotches of dry blood. She realized how horribly the girl has been raped. Again and again, this was going on.

"I think I will die here very soon; wish I could get out of here." Fiona suddenly spoke.

The maid listened to her. Suddenly she remembered her own daughter, who must be of Fiona's age if she had been alive. But she died of leukemia two years ago.

Her eyes were also like Fiona's, shiny blue. Her daughter was with her, and died before her; she couldn't do anything. Because when her disease was diagnosed it was too late and her Leukaemia was of some type of rare, it's treatment was very expensive.

She didn't wanted Fiona to die just like that. It was very obvious, the way she was being treated, she would die soon, or be disfigured forgood.

"Miss?" The maid called out Fiona. Fiona was brought out of her trance hearing her.

"Huh? Did you asked me anything?" Fiona asked.

"Do you have any place to go? I mean outside of this mansion?" The maid asked.

"No, I have nowhere to go now. I had my family, father, younger brother. But that monster killed them." Fiona replied.

But as soon as those words escaped her mouth, Adam's words were echoing in her head.

"I don't know what is truth, if my father is really a bad person, but my brother and I, we are innocent. Why did he killed my brother too? If he killed them both, why doesn't he kill me too? I can't take this slow agony anymore." Fiona's cried out, her sobs were resonating in the dungeon.

"Miss, listen to me very carefully, I am saying this once for all. If you get out of here, is there a place you can go? Is there anything you can do to support yourself? If you want, I can help you escape here. But if there is no place to go for you outside, I advice you stay here. Because, outside won't be any different for a shelterless, jobless, young girl from here. Rather, in some cases, it's scarier out there." The maid said.

Fiona's eyes snapped towards her.

"R-really? You are not lying, right?" She couldn't believe what she heard. Her eyes flashed with desperate hope.

"Miss, believe me. I am not lying, I swear by my dead daughter." Suddenly her eyes watered.

"I want to go away from here. Please help me." Fiona cried. Tears of utter uelplessness were falling from her eyes.

"Okay, in that case, you have to wait for the right time. After a few days, there may be a chance. Sir, will go to Japan. For now try not to disobey our Sir. Because, you know miss, whether it's right or wrong, Sir holds the power here. Nobody else."

Fiona nodded. She was right indeed.

The maid was going to leave but Fiona stopped her. A question rose in her mind about the maid. Fiona almost forgot in excitement that this maid was also one of Adam's worker. Why would she want to help her!

"Wait! Why do you want to help me? How can I know that you are not also a part of his game?" Fiona questioned her, furrowing her forehead.

"At this moment you have no choice but to believe me. Either believe me and get your freedom or stay in this hell. I am doing this because you remind me of my daughter whom I couldn't save. This is why I want to save you. But choice is yours." The maid said without turning to her and exited.

Some days later,

Fiona couldn't wash her body. She felt disgusted at herself. She stinked badly.

She was given meal once in everyday. Must be mentioned they were Adam's leftovers.

Her days in dungeon were passing horribly. She had one thin clothe over her body to save her modesty. Adam was doing everything in his power to make her suffer. In daytime, he increased temperature of the dungeon, Fiona would pant and sweat in extreme temperature in the day time. And in night, he made the room freezing cold, Fiona shivered in cold.

Fiona's endurance was getting tinner. She was losing her mind. Often she hallucinated about her brother and later when she remembered the reality, she would burst out crying loudly every time.

She was sitting on the dirty floor of the dungeon, leaning against the wall. Her eyes were closed. She was trying to sleep but abruptly woke up when heard the sound of metal gate opening.

She looked towards the metal gate.

It was Adam.

One of his men put a chair before Fiona and he sat on the chair, crossing his legs.

"You stink." He grimaced his face.

Fiona didn't say anything. She was looking another direction.

Watching her looking another way, it angered him. He gripped her jaw tightly and made her look at him. A whimper escaped from her mouth. Her eyes watered as the sudden force he impacted on her jaw.

"I am going somewhere. Never try to do something which you have to regret for later." Adam warned her and released her jaw roughly.

But Fiona didn't seem like hear or understand anything. Her eyes were empty.

"Get it?" Adam asked for confirmation.

Fiona didn't answer his question, rather uttered something which made Adam's eyes widened in surprise and feel him uneasy.

"My father and brother are dead. If you kill me after breaking me entirely will you be happy? Will your mother's soul get her peace? Won't her soul hurt because two innocent people will die too in this game of revenge?" Fiona muttered zoning out.

Adam could not say anything. Even this questions came to his head before but every time he brushed them off forcefully distracted himself by all other things.

He stormed out of the dungeon.

"Scott. Get the jet ready within three hours. I am going now." Adam ordered someone over the phone.

Next day,

"Miss, eat this." The older maid from yesterday came to Fiona's dungeon cell with a plate of food.

She placed the plate before Fiona who was sitting on the floor.

It was rice, vegetables, chicken. The amount was quite good. It didn't looked like leftovers.

Fiona looked at her questioningly.

"Miss, Sir left today. Don't worry. Eat." She assured Fiona.

Fiona lifted up the plate and placed it on her lap. Then began eating. After sometimes, she realized how hungry she was. Being hungry all the time, she even became numb to the feeling hunger.

She was eating quickly and soon emptied the plate. The maid understood that she still was hungry.

"Miss wait a bit. I am bringing more." She smiled in a motherly way. She got up with the plate. After a minute she returned with more foods. Fiona ate them. After so many days, she had a complete meal.

"Miss, come with me and take a bath." She told Fiona giving a long cloth to cover her body.

After she was done with her shower, she returned to her dungeon cell.

"Miss, the day after tomorrow most of the workers are going to be away from this mansion for a task. The security will be loose than always. If you want to escape, it is the only and one chance. Today, you have time. Think carefully if you really can survive outside or not. I will make a way to get you out of here." The maid whispered to her.

"He killed my father and brother, the only family I had. I don't know where I will go if I get out of here. I am so tainted, I can't even go to my boyfriend. But to be honest, I want to get out of here. I am scared to stay here. He will kill me torturing me slowly, I can't bear the pain anymore. It hurts so much. My body can't take it anymore, my mind can't take it anymore." Fiona sobbed.

The maid couldn't find word to say anything immediately, she just looked at her with pity.

What Fiona was saying was indeed true. She was being tortured and treated worse than an animal. She was being beaten, raped, abused, starved and even her skin was also marked cruelly with an obscene word.

The maid scrutinized Fiona's face and body. Her beautiful face looked so tired and fatigued. Dark circles under her blood shot puffy eyes, busted lips, red hand prints were still in her cheeks, her jaw bone were jutting out. Once her flawless skin was now filled with welt marks, bruised body lost a lot of weight. She realized if things goes on this way this young girl will die very soon. Her empty eyes were empty, soon her soul will be sucked up by darkness leaving her body here if she stays here anymore.

"Miss, just get out of this hell. What happens next we will see later." The maid said before exiting.
