The anticipation made him flush with heat Just as his mind spiraled into darker thoughts the car in front of him stopped moving and he slammed on the brakes
What the hell he muttered squinting through the windshield
Ahead the cars had come to a complete stop Drivers were poking their heads out of their windows trying to make sense of the standstill
What s going on up there someone shouted An accident
No another voice replied The road s been blocked off They rechecking vehicles
The road had been blocked off

Who has the power to shutdown an entire highway like this
Are you new here It s Stanley Hawk Hawk Group s CEO and Hove n dale stop dog This town might as well be his backyard If he wants the road closed it s closed Simple as that
Oh Mr Hawk blocked off the road Do you think his wife has runaway and he shunting her down
Yeah right You ve been reading too much fiction

Stanley was looking for Wendy
Damnit!LilianhadassuredhimthatStanleydidn’tcareaboutWendy–thatshewasnothingbutadiscardedwoman.Ifthatweretrue,whywouldStanley gotosuchlengthstotrackherdown?
Up ahead a group of uniformed personnel began systematically inspecting cars moving closer with every passing
moment.
George s chest tightened He couldn t just s it and wait to be caught

George loomed over her his hand shamelessly caressing her cheek with a disgusting smirk
You re awake he said his voice dripping with a twisted kind of satisfaction

George didn t seem fazed by her resistance His expression darkened with a perverse sort of amusement
Wendy even back when you first came to the countryside you were so beautiful it was almost unreal I knew then that when you grew up men would be lining up to get their hands on you So why should I let anyone else have you You re perfect forme you can be my wife
His voice hardened anger creeping in
“Butyoujusthadtobedifficult.Youhadtostaboutmyeyeandsendmetoprisonfortenyears!Andforwhat?Nothing’schanged.Lookatyounow!You’restillundermycontrol. Noonecansaveyou,Wendy.You’llliehereobedientlyandletmedowhateverIwant.Justlikeyoushould’vefromthestart.”
George s mind had been consumed with lust He had stopped himself from acting on his urge wanting to wait for Wendy to wake up so he could fully get his revenge for being blinded by Wendy
He reached out yanking at her clothes
Let go of me Wendy screamed thrashing against him with all her strength
George s breathing grew heavier his voice dripping with malice Who do you think is going to save you Your precious husband Stanley
His face twisted into a bitter sneer as here called his desperate escape earlier
It s too late By the time he gets here you ll already be ruined No man will want you after that not even him
