A Promise Of Vengeance

Amy and Charles have been married for 4 years and she must admit it has been the hardest and also the most amazing years of her life, her father died in a car accident a year ago and her mother was now locked up in a mental asylum, it was Charles who recommended that they find her a place where she can find help, the truth was that even herself Amy wouldn’t have been able to take care of someone with a mental illness… She looked in the mirror and saw how much she has grown, maybe it’s the little one growing inside her that is giving her a mature and womanly look, today is the day that she and Charles renew their wedding vows… The first time they got married it wasn’t a big wedding because their marriage was an arranged one, now that they have fallen in love with each other it was time that they renew their vows and this time with something that comes from the heart… She took out her notebook where she wrote her vows and found herself smiling, she has written over 2 pages, but Harley said that she has to summarise. After the ceremony she was going to give the notebook to Charles so that he can see how much she loves him, and after that, she is going to tell him about the little monster growing inside her…   It is amazing how everything was now falling into place, and why wouldn’t it when she has an amazing husband like Charles, something on the Tv screen caught her attention, they were talking about Tate Anderson her brother-in-law again… These Tv reporters obviously didn’t have anything better to report about because Tate is always on the news, “businessman of the year”, “the youngest richest man in the world” and all that stuff… She was only relieved that she didn’t choose to marry him but chose her Charles, now she is living a quiet and peaceful life she has always wanted… She stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, the Vera Weng wedding dress that her husband picked for her looked amazing on her and it didn’t show her small baby bump, it was like the dark cloud that was on her head was gone, she was going to be surrounded by family and friends, but her brother-in-law isn’t going to be there, she has noticed that he behaves weirdly around her at first and then he just stopped coming to family events... She looked at the time and realized that if she takes more time getting ready she might late for her own wedding. She went downstairs along with Harley.   “I will take my own car, your husband has bought a car especially for you.” said Harley as she got into her car… Amy went to the car that her husband bought for her, it was cute and her favourite colour as well, she got in and said hello to the driver, “you are not my usual driver, where is John??’ she asked the strange large man. “Ma’am, I don’t know who John is but I was hired by your husband to take you to the wedding venue.” he said and she looked at him and nodded. “Okay drive then, I can’t be late for my own wedding.” Amy said. As he started driving all she could do was smile all the way, she was going to marry the love of her life in front of the whole world, this is the happily ever after that she has been waiting for… too bad that her parents and Emily aren’t here to see her celebrate her day, but you can't have it all now can you? As Amy was looking forward she saw the driver as he made a wrong turn. “Hey, that is not the way to the wedding venue, where are you taking me?” she asked him but he just turned around and looked at her. “I am taking you where you husband said I should, apparently he has a surprise for you.” the driver said. Amy looked at him and he didn’t look like someone who was lying but just to be sure she called Charles, “you have a surprised planned for me?” she asked him. Charles answered, “yes I do, trust and allow him to bring you here to me.” he said and she could see the smile on him as he said that… “Fine but speed up a little, I don’t want to be late for the surprise.” she said and she didn’t see the looks of pity and sympathy that the man gave her, she didn’t know what she was heading into…   “Ma’am, your husband said that I should give you this, so you don’t see the surprise.” the driver said and giving her a blindfold, this only intrigued her, what is he planning that is leaving her in so much suspense… Amy did as asked and a few minutes later the car stopped. “Hold my hand, as I lead you to your husband.” said the driver. Amy did as asked and walked in but then the room she got in was wet and it smelled bad… She removed her blindfold to find that she is in an old factory. “What am I doing here, there is no way that my husband would bring me to such a place.” she said looking at the man whose facial expression now changed from polite to deadly. She tried to get away but he held her tighter, she screamed and punched and yelled for help but nothing seemed to work, he then locked her up in what seemed to be a dungeon. “Make yourself comfortable!” said the man. Amy looked at her dress and it was all dirty now, there was no way she was going to walk down the aisle with it, it was only a matter of time before her husband suspects something and he will turn the world upside down looking for her… The man came back after a few hours that felt like years to Amy. “My husband is looking for me now and I am sure of it, he will make you pay for this!” she said with her head held high but the man just laughed at her… She heard two pairs of footsteps and then someone started clapping, she waited until they got near to see who it is...   “You have so much faith in me dear wife.” said a voice she knew very well.   The same voice that has been waking her up early in the morning for the past 4 years, all she could say was his name, “Charles…”
