I hadn't seen sunlight in a long time and as the door opened , I raised my head, feeling something like hope for the first time in I think 2 months. I'd been in here too long, that much I knew . I'd been surviving off stale bread and vinegar and was tortured in different ways.

At first I thought this was some sort of prank or a deranged anti fan, but apparently it wasn't. Though I'm not very likeable, I don't think I'd offended anyone enough to deserve dying.

I was going through every name I could still remember, trying to figure things out. I'd long given up on my situation, but as I saw Amber I couldn't help but smile . She smiled back at me brightly then it suddenly turned menacing.

My smile dropped instantly and I could almost taste the knots in my stomach. But at the same time, I also felt fear and disgust. I dropped my head and sighed. I suddenly felt tired and would have already collapsed to the ground if the chains on my limbs weren't holding me in an upright position.

She lifted my face and chuckled " I didn't expect you to hold out this long Mystery . How's it been "? I forced myself to remain proud and stared her in the eye " I'm doing great as you can see. But if I'm write, you put me here. Why exactly are you doing this "?

I was honestly shocked by the ringing I suddenly felt in my ears as she slapped me. " How are you still so cocky.? I have everything now. Cameron and I will be getting married next week by the way. I felt you should know ".

I closed my eyes and resisted the urge to lunge for her then, still caring about my pride.

My eyes jolted open as the chains cut even deeper into my wrists when she kicked me in the gut. I was too weak to lift my own head but she raised my head up and I couldn't help but smile " How does it feel getting my leftovers again "?

Amber seemed to loose her cool then and it made me satisfied to see her fuming. Unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy it much as she slapped me again and screamed at me, " Do you still think you're some sort of princess? How dare you talk to me that way? You were never fit for the crown. Everything that was yours is now mine ".

She suddenly smiled politely as she gathered herself and put her hand in her pocket, " I'll give you a chance Annabelle ".

I felt something cold against my cheek, " If Cameron can so much as acknowledge your existence. No! If he so much as says your name, I'll let you go ". I managed to shake my head and could faintly hear the phone ringing.

When I heard Cameron's voice, I found myself crying He sounds a lot colder than I remember " Cameron, is that you ? This is Annabelle..... ".

I should probably have begged for help or something but I had a feeling I'd seem even more pathetic if I did. The line was silent for about 5 seconds then I heard that familiar cold laugh and honestly I got chills up my beaten up spine " I've told you not to call me by my first name and what does exactly do you have to do with me? Where's Amber anyways and why do you have her phone" ?

The line went dead and Amber burst into tears as she laughed maniacally write in my face . I was ashamed of myself for loving him, looking up to him for so long and I was ashamed of myself.

" That was hilarious. How does it feel knowing your prince charming is actually the villain in your stupid fairytale? The one who wants to destroy you and everything you love. How does it feel knowing that your own children were killed by their father? Not that I care how you feel or anything ".

A new set of tears began to form and I forced myself to remain calm. Though hearing Amber speak wasn't helping, " To know that everyone who ever loved you is now so miserable, just like you. That personal assistant of yours was pathetic for thinking she'd be more than a bed warmer though. Your agent was a lot more stubborn. He'd probably have found you by now if I didn't kill him ".

When I gave her no reaction, it went silent for a while. Again I felt another slap and managed to see Amber's face " How does it feel to lose everything you've worked so hard for "?

I' d had enough of her then, with everything I had, I knocked into her head and she went to the floor instantly. I smiled to myself as I looked at her, " I must say, your head is not as hard as I thought it would be ".

I groaned as I felt a sharp pain in my left foot and realized she'd stabbed me. I bit my tongue, forcing myself to not scream and Amber smiled " You were always so stubborn. Even at your death, it's so hard to get a decent reaction out of you. You surprise me every time ."

She stabbed me again with a different knife, but in the gut this time and I spat up blood. I laughed out then despite the agonizing pain I was in, " Its not that easy to get rid of me. You might as well kill me, cos if I manage t to survive this, I will definitely destroy you ".

Amber suddenly backed away from me I began to feel myself slowly losing consciousness, the terrified look on Amber's face was satisfaction enough.

I slowly opened my eyes and sat up ***Where is this? I'm supposed to be dead, right***? I could hear arguing downstairs . The voices seemed familiar, I looked around the big room I was in and slowly it came back to me . This was Cameron's house and we'd been married for about three months now.

I could hear arguing downstairs and was going to ignore it but it was so loud. I already knew how it would play out and I didn't care but Martha was trying so hard. Plus, it was also beginning to give me a serious headache. Slowly, I got out of bed and fell immediately ***Seems,like I've forgotten how to walk*** .

Wobbly, I managed to make it to the railing outside my room. As I did, I looked around at the place with an open air and a large sitting room in the center. There was absolutely no way I could make it all the way downstairs so I leaned on the railing, trying not to embarrass myself.

Soon, they noticed my presence and fell quiet. Martha seemed upset for me while Darren, Cameron's assistant seemed disgusted but I was unfazed . Calmly, I turned to Martha and smiled " What's going on ? Did something happen "? ***My voice doesn't sound hoarse either***

Before Martha could speak , Darren interrupted her ***How rude. Hmph***! " Master said to inform you that he wouldn't be coming back tonight, so do not wait up for him ". I held unto the railing , smiling and nodding ***Yen yen yen. What an uptight guy. He's still annoying in two lives***.

My expression suddenly turned dark as I stared him down, " Tell your master not to worry but I didn't speak to you. I expect you to speak only when spoken to ". I could see that he was surprised and then he left .

I think I've got the walking thing down and I went back into my room. He never came home in my last life but I was comfortable. ***Don't get me wrong , I hate you but I really really really like money***. I took out the blue tracksuit and decided to go downstairs.

I could smell something delicious coming from the kitchen. I could hear my stomach growling and went into the kitchen. Chef Andre was dancing around as he cooked. I didn't want to bother him so I watched , trying not to giggle.

A while later, he finally noticed me . He jumped , making us both laugh " How can I help the Mrs? The usual "? Cameron had done this 'ditching me last minute' thing several times and every time I'd drank with Andre but not today " No, not today Addie . I'm hungry ".

I made gestures to my tummy and mouth and Andre turned back with a smile. He soon appeared again with a plate of spaghetti but with only one chicken wing . I looked up at him questionably and he sighed.

Defeated, he put another one on my plate. ***Who says good food, isn't good life***? And there I sat ***I don't think anyone's said that before though*** munching and chewing, putting anything like manners aside.

It wasn't on my clothes and it was my food so what's anyone's business? I nearly cried as I felt the sweet taste of food in my mouth I'll never ever take you for granted again .

Andre and I had talking in the kitchen for about ten minutes now and I felt good. ***Good food and good friends certainly mix. I should turn that into a song when I get back to the studio*** .

Feeling content, I decided to take a walk in the garden to gather my thoughts. I was already in the middle of relaxing when a maid came out of nowhere and started talking, " Who do you think you are ? The young master will never come home now all because of you. Have you no shame you slut "?

I was shocked by the confrontation but managed to keep my cool ***I'm not gonna lose face over a silly maid now, am I*** ? I glanced behind me and realized she was still there, staring bullets into my back. I shook my head as I turned back around, " So Yes. Yes I lost my cool ".

I reached her pretty quickly and slapped her hard across the face. I wiggled my fingers, as I looked at her surprised face That kinda hurt, talk about thick skin.

She was on the floor, hand to cheek looking so wronged and pitiful. The sight of it made me so upset and ruined my good mood. I squeezed her face and made her look me in the eye, " Repeat what you just said or I'll kill you ".

She seemed to know I wasn't bluffing and began to tremble, repeating her words. I slapped her again but not as hard as the first one . I'd seen and experienced different kinds of torture during the time I spent in that den and was quite confident in knowing I could kill could a person now.

I got a lot more upset at the thought of what I'd possibly become and dragged her by her long black hair . She screamed out then, attracting all the servants attention but I could careless what they thought of me. I dragged her even deeper into the garden then looked around How can I teach this brat a lesson?

I saw a fountain and dragged her over it. She seemed to understand what I intended and screamed out even more, trying to get away but I held her hair too tight .

In front of the fountain, I knelt in front of her and smiled, " Remind me again, who is a slut "?

She whimpered and pointed at herself. Making me smile, " Glad we understand each other but I need to teach you a lesson so you don't forget something this important ".

I pushed her head into the water fountain, bringing her back up after ten seconds , I did this for about a minute then left her there. She wasn't dead thoigh, I made sure of it .

Happy to vent, I continued with my walk in the garden , admiring all the pretty flowers. I sat on a bench and started mumbling to myself Cameron will obviously be back to make trouble for me. Since he's going to kick me out anyways, I have to leave this house and figure something out.

Though I was nervous, I decided to call Charlotte who is quite the middleman. She has amazing social skills, always connecting people and knowing everyone. " Hey girl, I thought you'd never call. Was beginning to think we'd never go out for that ice cream ".

I laughed and looked up at the cloudy sky, " Maybe later, I need your help with something. I was hoping you could help me find a new place but something with lots and lots of green space around . "

The line was silent for a few seconds, making me nervous. I was a bit startled when I heard her voice again, " Close or far from Disguise's place "? Putting my hand up to fee the warm light, I smiled " Hopefully far, far away from here. I should be ready in about two hours. Will you come pick me up "?

She agreed and we talked a bit more. I felt so happy and relieved to hear her voice. " One more call to make ", I took a deep breath as I decided to call JJ Our relationship was still pretty good around this time in my last so he'll probably pick up He picked on my second try and I could here his familiar deep voice. I suddenly felt overwhelmed but forced myself not to cry. I ended up sniffling instead and I was sure he heard that.
