Needs

Chapter 3

"Do you have money?" Albert asked and made Anne lost her temper.

"I know it's you," Walking to Albert she hissed before looking at the empty casino. It wasn't huge and had quite a bad reputation. A wave of panic surged in her when she didn't find Tyler.

"They are in office," Albert said in a low voice.

It wasn't hard for Anne to locate the door that was tagged with office and was guarded by a muscular man.

Walking to that door she couldn't feel her legs with her but she knew her Tyler was in a situation. 

"I am here to look,...I am Mrs. Baldon. I got a call from the office." Her nervousness was evident in her voice.

"Your ID?" The person asked and she opened her purse but before she could manage that person's inspecting hand on her waist took her by surprise. She looked at him shocked while that man smirked looking up as he lowered to grab and squeeze her butt hard to make her jump back a little. And, before he could do anything else she pushed the door open wearing an angry look. But she was never ready to see Tyler bind to a chair with a bloody mouth.

"Tyler!" She gasped and tried to run to him ignoring a tall figure standing in the middle. A wrong move because next she was tripped with a leg and hit her shoulder to the floor.

"My money," The person asked never leaving his eyes from her legs and rear. Anne hurriedly covered her lingerie with her coat and got still looking at the man in a black suit.

"Leave her, Zack!" Tyler growled and this made Zack pull Anne up and cage in his arm before gesturing the man standing beside Tyler.

"No! No! You can't do this," Anne yelled when she saw the person using pliers on Tyler's finger. Tyler's cries echoed in the whole room while Anne writhed in Zack's hold. He seemed to enjoy the whole situation that he didn't even tell to stop his underling even when he was working on Tyler's second finger.

"...I will give you money, please, please, leave him, please!" Zack finally looked at the woman pleading.

"I want my money now," Zack pulled her hair and seethed. He was already pissed he had to travel on his special day and was demoted to look after the casinos. But now he had got something to get his mind off, the woman standing in front of him. Her lips were more puffed with all the crying and she had curves made for his bed. She was thick and in need.

He noticed how she was all ready to be ravished and took the liberty to believe she was here to pay with other means. So, he gestured the man to stop.

"You are looking at that person?" Zack made Anne see his subordinate and added in a whisper, "...He will be killed if he let the single person get away with the money."

Anne's ears were more focused on Tyler's soft whimpers and he seemed to pass out any time.

"I,...I will get you the,...your money." Anne tried to manage but pressed her lips when Zack hold her left bust to rub.

"Don't lie. We both know you are here to sell yourself. Aren't you?" Anne looked ahead to see Tyler's head down.

"I said I will get you the money. I,...You will get your money,...tomorrow or even now if you want, I,..." Looking at that person's amused face made Anne sick to her stomach.

"What if you couldn't?" Zack was amused looking at her confidence. He had to give her credit for her bravery.

"This is not possible. When I am saying I will give you your money,...I will give you," Zack took the opportunity to hold her face closer to his.

"If you didn't come with money in 24 hours you will sleep with me for fifteen days. I will pay 200 for a night." The moment his voice got registered in Anne's mind she looked at him with a sour face.

"You will get your money first thing in the morning. Now, please let my husband go. He is bleeding." She got weak saying the last part.

"Let him go," Zack's voice followed.

"Zack, you are here only for a week," The person reminded Zack and Zack let Anne go to Tyler before saying. "For eight days she will be a gift to you,"

Anne heard their talk but remained focused on getting Tyler's wrists free.

"Tyler?" She called him to see if he could move and helped him to get out of the room. She looked at Albert who came up to help but before he could give Tyler any support he was called inside. She waited for Albert but he took so long. Resting Tyler in one of the chairs she gets back to the door of the office to hear.

"...Make sure she can't get money anywhere." A cold shiver ran in her but she was quick to get to Tyler and take him out. She crossed a road with Tyler's weight shifted on her shoulder before she hailed for a Taxi.

The moment they got in a Taxi she heard Tyler curse in pain. She was shocked knowing he was in his senses all these times but before she could confront him she was met with a slap.

"Slut! It hurts." Anne held her throbbing cheek for a few seconds before asking, "Show me," She held his hand and whispered, "I am so sorry. We should disinfect it,"

"You can have this kit," The driver offered,

"Thanks," Anne replied before accepting the box and applied the ointment on his fingers that seemed so gross that she hardly managed not to puke. Looking at someone bleeding always made her nauseous. It always took her to see her father's blood on the floor. But family secrets were meant to keep.

"It will get better," She whispered,

"f**k! It will get better. Who told you to tell them you will get the money?" Tyler shouted,

"No, no,...Tyler I will,..."

"Ask the money from your boss. We will pay them later or they can cut your salary." Tyler cut her off.

"Tyler,...I,..." She mumbled,

"Call them now," Tyler seethed,

"I don't have my cell phone," She said and prayed that no one calls her.

She was mad at him to ever pull them in this mud but knew voicing her opinion will ruin the things. It always does.

Tyler had his eyes on her when they reached their place. She knew he was suspicious of her acts. 

"Call them," She was scared to take out her phone so she whispered,

"Tyler,..." but trailed off,

"I said call them!" She knew all of her plans were going to waste anyway. She was to hand over a lot of money from her savings to that person now.

"I have lost my job," She closed her eyes but nothing came. So, she opened her eyes to see a very shocked Tyler. He doesn't seem pissed as the last time so Anne let the breath she was holding out.

"Call them anyway,...we,...we,...are in trouble." She saw Tyler's hand shivering while his eyes seemed to leak tears any minute. She couldn't help her tears before breaking to him, "They have moved cities,...my boss,..."

"They are going to kill me,...Are you listening to me,...They are going to kill me," She saw Tyler shivering and crying as he got on his knees.

"I will arrange the money. I can ask Car,..." Anne got on her knees to hold his face but avoided telling him about her saving knowing all too well it would be spent on Albert if he got to know.

"You were planning this?" Tyler gritted slapping her wrist away from his face.

"She,..." Anne feared his eyes. She knew she was going to be punished.

"Car! That beggar!" Tyler shouted and punched her face in anger.

"She will help...She has...money." Anne tried to explain amidst her sobs, covering her head.

"You are useless...you will always be a burden...a fat ass good for nothing..." Abigail and Victor who were coming to visit them wondered what it could be.

"I think we should see. He seemed to be drunk." Abigail suggested listening to Anne sobbing.

"We shouldn't embarrass them,...I will talk to him in the morning." Victor after a few seconds replied,

The morning came and Anne woke up in the bathroom. It was the only place she could find to escape his wrath. She didn't hear him and thinking he must be sleeping she got out but find the bed empty. She didn't want to look in the mirror because she knew she won't like the sight.

"Hey Car?" Anne called Car.

"Good morning,...you need to finish it," Car seemed to feed her sister.

"I need the money and I will tell Tyler you lent me." She said trying her best not to sob.

"What happened?" Car got worried,

"I will talk to you later," Anne ended the call and rubbed a lone tear from her cheek away.

I am doing better than my mother. I am still doing a lot better than her. She whispered and found a gaze on her. She turned to look at the bedroom door but found no one. She knew Tyler was still mad.

Coming out of her room she looked for Tyler to tell him to go to Car's so she can give them the money but saw a note on the kitchen counter with his cell phone and wedding band.

I am leaving. I can't die right now or see my wife sleeping with men. I am leaving you. Tell them I have left you and you owe them nothing.

Her mouth hung open looking at the note. She knew it won't work. They were scary men. Tyler and she knew from the last night. There was no way they will buy it. All of a sudden she felt so lonely. He didn't mean it. I will get things right. And, he will return.

She gets to her closet and looks for the money. After counting the bills she slipped them in a purse. Her face was a mess and body ached so she took a shower before choosing plain jeans and a white shirt for her.

She took her time with her makeup because she couldn't help thinking about how she was to face them without Tyler. It was after 8 in the morning when she took a long breath and got to the closet but the moment she felt her purse thin and weightless she hurriedly open it to find it empty. Unfolding her cardigan she gasped. There was no money either. Desperation made her pull out a lot of stuff in the surroundings. She knew Tyler can't run with her money. Then who it could be? Who knew there was money?

Oh, God! She gasped and shivered at the thought of facing those men with no money. Tyler where are you? Why you didn't take me with you? She held her knees close to her chest and shivered in anxiety. 

I will update soon so you people don't run the horses of your imagination. Because nothing you are guessing is going to happen. 

Something far more bloody will happen, Any Guesses?
