"Frank, I can help you out of this mess but you have to promise me something." I said to the rather pudgy man looking at me from across.
"Thank you Charles, I will give you anything just let me little girl live." He said with a shaky voice and tears streaming down his face.
"Aren't you going to ask what I want in p*****t before we proceed?" I asked as I picked up a contract from my desk drawer.
"What do you want Charles?" He asked with hesitation.
"Her" I said pointing at the photo he laid on the desk.
"Fine, just save her life." Frank said with determined eyes.
"Sign the dotted line Frank and we will have a deal." I said as I slid a pen and the contract over to him. I smiled as I watched him sign. "You have 18 years to enjoy your baby girl, after than she will be my baby girl."
Frank walked out of Charles office shaking, 'I need to kill him to save my child.' he thought to himself before getting into his car, driving back to the hospital.

"What have you done?" My father screamed as he ran out of the basement.
"Father. Please. I couldn’t take it anymore." I said as I backed into the room further trying to stay far
Out of his reach.
"You stupid girl. I can’t protect you now. You've let him free." He replied rubbing his head in frustration.
"I don’t understand, I don’t know who he is or why you had him locked in there." I said with a shaky voice.
"I don’t have time to explain Stella, your endanger and we need to move now." He exclaimed while grabbing bags of food and his weapons. "NOW STELLA!" he yelled as the front door was kicked in. I looked at my father before turning back to the front door, I saw him standing there. The same man I had released only 2 hours ago. His eyes were focused on my father than back to me with a wicked smile spreading across his face, his eyes looking me with hunger.
"You know she's coming with me right Frank?" The strange man asked never taking eyes off of me.
"No. She will never go with you." My father said as he started walking towards me, placing himself in the middle of us.
The strange let out a chuckle as he walked towards us with slow lazy steps "No, Frank. You promised her to me, and I am finally free of your chains so now Frank I am taking her with me." He was so close to my father looking around him directly at me. He slowly reached around my father tangling a strand of my hair around his finger.
"Your perfect Stella. Perfect." He said as he sucked his lower lip between his teeth. His eyes were beautiful, the way he looked at me made something inside me stir.
