"Who are you people, and what can I possibly do for you?" Karen asked as it slowly began to down on her that they may not be who they said they were.
"I want you to make love to me." Smith told her slowly with a smirk on the corner of his lips and Karen's pupils dilated.
"What?" Karen's jaw dropped.
"Ahh… correction, act like you are making love to me, that's all," Smith told her slowly.
"Are you out of your mind?" Karen was frightened by what she just heard and the fact that there is no way she can escape from them now as the other two men were standing by the door, and she did not see this coming.
"Let go of me..." Karen screamed as Smith grabbed her arm this time without a word, pulling her closer to himself.
"Shut up and act like it or your husband is going to die," Smith said, pressing his palm against her lips and gazing into her eye.
"What?" Karen asked, terrified by what she just heard.
"You heard me, woman, you better act like you are happily making love to me or else, your husband is going to be killed," Smith told her again pushing his coverall aside a little so that Karen can see the gun in his pants, "and in addition, you will be rapped by me and my men," Smith said to Karen gesturing to the two men.
Karen's lips trembled and tears shimmered in her eyes as her lips moved. "Who are you people..., and what have I or my husband done to deserve this..., who sent you...?" Karen asked in a trembling voice after seeing the gun in Smith's pants.
"You don't ask questions here ma'am, you only obey and do what I tell you to, else, I will make sure you are r***d for real and your husband killed immediately," Smith told her again furrowing his brows at her, he needs to get this job done as quickly as possible, and he hopes that this woman does not prove stubborn because none of what he has threatened her with is true, they only need to make one video of them acting like they are making love and that's it, his ticket to making money, it took them time to come up with this idea and he hopes that this works.
"Come over here, guys," Smith told his friends who did as he had instructed, he pushed Karen to them and started taking his clothes off.
"Alright, alright…" Karen said, still in a trembling voice, terrified by the thought of three men rapping her and also killing her darling husband.
"Alright what, Ma'am, are you going to do what I have asked or not?" Smith glared at her, trying to sound and look scary.
"Yes…, please do not hurt me… do not hurt my husband…he is all I've got..." Karen pleaded in a hoarse voice.
"I will not do that, I will not hurt you or your husband provided you do what I have told you properly," Smith told her calmly after taking his clothes off and then pulling her to her bed.
"Now make it look real just like you do when it is your husband, alright? Only then, are we going to be good," Smith told her again, climbing on the bed.
"Good girl… you did a good job Ma'am," Smith told Karen moments later patting her back, "now hug me tenderly after a kiss," Smith whispered to her, she did as she was instructed immediately without questioning him, she cannot wait until this is over and she hopes that they do not change their minds as what she has done only was to act like she is making love to him.
"Lie down and rest now sweetheart and please do not get up until I tell you to," Smith whispered to her again, she did as he had instructed before he climbed out of her bed.
"We will have to go now, thanks for your help, Ma'am," Smith told Karen again after putting his clothes back on, and with that he and his friends left the room.
Karen slowly lifted her head after she heard the door click open and close.
"David…" she said out loud recalling what the man had told her about her husband, she quickly went for her phone which was on the lamp table beside her bed, this is where she had kept it after calling the water Agency.
"Picked up David… please…" she pleaded out loud hoping that no harm had come to her husband already when she dailed his number. She needs to confirm first that her husband is alright and to tell him what had happened here in his absence, but there was no response even after calling his phone twice already.
"Oh, no, it can't be…" she panicked, shaking her head sideways, her husband is all that she has in this world, she cannot lose him too…
Terrified, she scrambled for her car keys on her dressing table and rushed out of the room, not caring about her looks at the moment, she needs to go to her husband's office to make sure that he is safe, and God help her, she said within her, that nothing bad has happened to David already, else, that would be the death of her.
David Anderson is the only man who has genuinely loved her, for who she is and has brought nothing but happiness into her life since the day they met. He gave meaning to her life and she cannot imagine her life without him.
Fortunately for her, the front door opened half way through the stairs and behold the person standing right in front of her eyes is none other than her darling husband, David Anderson.
"David…" Karen screamed for joy and continued running again towards him, she threw her arms around his neck immediately she got to him, but the response she got from him made her heart quiver.
"Get your hands off me…" David told Karen pulling her arms away as quickly as she had put them around him.
Karen blinked her eyes dumbfounded by his reaction "David, is there a problem?" Karen muttered, confused at his reaction, he has never reacted this way towards her before and he was all sweet this morning before he left for work.
David glared at her furiously, he had rushed home immediately from work, his heart pounding as he did, "You ask if there is a problem, how dare you ask that, Karen after what you have done?" David continues to glare at her, unable to control the anger in him.
"I do not understand you David… W-what are you talking about?" Karen stammered wondering what has gotten into him, she has never seen her husband like this before in the two years they have been married to each other.
"I should be the one saying that to you," David snapped, clapping his palms furiously together, his voice as deep as ever before.
"I do not understand why you have to do this to me, Karen, after all I have done for you," David yelled again, getting Karen even more confused as she does not know the reason for his anger and choice of words.
"As far as I know, all I have done is to give you love and affection a man who is madly in love with his wife gives, so tell me, Karen, why did you do this to me? Why? And tell me… for how long has this been going on?" David asked, peering into Karen's eye as he grabbed onto her shoulders.
"I am sorry, honey, but I do not understand anything you have just said to me…" she told him rather slowly, still unable to comprehend and looking confused as ever, she still has to tell him about what had happened to her, but seeing him this way confuses her the more and it breaks her heart.
"You don't? So you are going to stand here and pretend like you do not know what I am talking about," David snapped again leting go of her shoulders and frightening her too.
"What is the matter David?" Karen muttered, staring into his eyes.
"This…" David snapped angrily, producing his cell phone and playing a video, holding it out for her to see, "this is the matter, Karen," he said again tightening his jaw muscles as Karen gasped to see the video of what has happened to her just a few moments ago, David scoffed when he saw the surprised look on Karen's face.
