3 Chapter Three

"Thanks a lot!! You literally saved my life there no joke.." Serena laughed, wiping her face of any stray tears.

I was glad I got there when I did. Who knows that else those two pathetic idiots could've done to her.

"I never got around to thank you for that night either, you remember, last week? I definitely owe you a drink or two." She said, but the only thing I could think of was how her voice sounded so appealing and soft.

"You don't need to thank me. Just be more careful. So.. I'm guessing Derrick is the ex that you got drunk over last week? Did he hurt you? You were crying." I asked.

"Well yeah, he's that guy but um no. I wasn't crying because of that, it's nothing don't worry." She replied.

"I won't have to worry if you tell me who made you cry, I'll know that you're ok and what to do. So, you're going to tell me and we'll sort it out. What happened then?"

"Basically, well... My boss had the wrong idea about our meeting." I could tell she felt dumb and like she was oversharing, her smooth cheeks going a soft pink colour. "But I'm fine, really.."

"Mh.." I answered, focusing back on the road. I was going to kill the bastard. He wasn't allowed to touch Serena, no one was. Only I could. I could tell she didn't know what else to say. "Wait, do you work at the dental clinic?" I asked her.

"Yes, but I'm only at the reception. I don't usually help around with the clients other than that simply because I'm not as professional as the nurses and I don't have a degree like they do, but in special cases I have assisted in pulling out a tooth or two."

"You better hope those patients don't find out, could cause a bunch of trouble for you."

"Hey, so where are we going?" She questioned as she realised the road was empty and the only thing in sight were trees.

"I need to stop around here, can you help me put my case in the back. Med stuff.." I laughed awkwardly, not taking my eyes off the road. Not that I would drive into anyone, people barely used this road. There was a pause, did she know what I was going to do?

"Yeah, sure."

I turned to a small clearing right by the road. I passed her the case and Serena quickly got out and made her way to the boot. I silently made my way out too, preparing the syringe in my hand. My heart beat fast in my chest, the adrenaline kicking in. This never happened. I shouldn't care.

My arm seamlessly wrapped around her neck and I stuck the syringe in. She didn't have time to struggle and within minutes she was passed out in my arms. Seconds after that, Mike was already driving up with my car, his face barely visible through the dark glass.

"Any witnesses that you need to take care of?"

"Just two. I've already got it planned though. There will be none by midnight." I told him.

"What do you plan with this one. She can't go anywhere. Best case scenario we ship her."

I physically flinched as if he struck me. "No."

"Then you need to figure something out? Why can't you just end her and be done with it."

"I am going to.. keep her myself." I gulped.

He raised an eyebrow and slid up his glasses. If he didn't think I was insane before he surely did now. "Alright. I'll have the rest drop off her car without anyone seeing by the apartment tonight, after we clean it." He didn't wait for me to respond, just got in and drove off. I sighed and got Serena in the back. She was finally mine..all mine.

I had to leave her at my vacation house. She was safe and secure there, being at least two hours away from any town. Right now I had to take care of her boss. He was such an ungrateful cunt. He deserved to die.

I ignored the 'closed' sign on the door, barely visible in the dark. I suspected he was still here at night, I did my research. Not surprised his wife left him and kicked him out. The clinic door shut silently behind me.

I could hear his grunting from the hallway already. It made me sick. I walked towards his office, the door slightly open and light breaking through the crack. I knocked.

"Hello? Who's there??" He asked out of breath, clearly terrified he got caught in the act. I stayed hidden behind the door.

"Serena?? Look how bad you've made me want you. It's ok, we can talk about earlier. I know it could be a shock to you." Disgusting. He was thinking of touching MY precious Serena. I heard the click of a mouse as he turned his computer off and got up to check who actually was here.

"Serena..-" He didn't finish. He looked at me in utter shock, then down at the knife I struck him with. I smiled as he fell down to my knees. I bent down to his level.

"This is what you deserve for not only cheating on your wife, but attempting to get Serena. She is MINE." I yelled and kicked him in the ribs. I spat on him. This man deserved a much worse death, he was so lucky I didn't have time for that.

His life drained out of him, his heartbeat stopped. I didn't waste my time. I changed the footage on the cameras and went to clean him and myself up. He couldn't hurt Serena ever again. No one could. She was going to be safe with me forever. My body tingled with excitement at the though of Derrick, who was still waiting for his turn and my Serena was going to wake up soon.
