Chapter 8
“Carrie,” a voice called to me but my head felt as though it was stuffed with cotton wool.
I fought to open my eyes but only one of them responded.
Lifting my hands panic washed over me as soon as I realised I couldn’t move them.
“Carrie…” The voice called to me again and I fought against the ropes binding me to the bed.
“Don’t fight, the more you fight the tighter they get…”
It finally dawned on me who was talking to me, Rosa’s voice was filled with worry and I stared up at her with my one good eye.
The other side of my face felt as though it was twice the size it should have been and every time I tried to open my eye fully pain blared through my head.
Taylor had hit me, his punch practically causing my eye to swell shut.
“Rosa, what happened?”
“They brought you up here and…” she trailed off and chewed her lip as she returned her concentration to the ropes.
“Rosa…” There was a warning in my voice and she glanced over at me, the fear in her eyes unmistakable.
“He’s going to come back, he wanted you tied up, wanted you to wake up and be terrified knowing he was coming back for you.”
Her words sent a wave of nausea racing through me. There was only one of the Banks’ men who would want me tied up.
“It was Dom wasn’t it?”
She nodded and returned to the ropes, her small fingers pulling and tugging at the binding.
I swallowed back my fear.
If he came back and I was this vulnerable…
That thought alone was enough to make me want to fight, to kick and lash, to scream out at the ropes holding me down.
Instead I muffled my distress, burying my face against the side of the pillow that was caught against my arm.
“Rosa, please hurry…” I didn’t want to panic her, rushing her was a bad idea and yet I couldn’t shake the panic that was threatening to overwhelm me.
I needed to get free. I wouldn’t be his victim, not now, not ever.
And if he came back I would be waiting for him… I was going to finish it once and for all.
Dominic Banks would be sorry for ever messing with me.
“There!” Rosa said triumphantly as she finally freed the knot and the ropes loosened their grip on my arms.
Sitting up I didn’t waste any time and immediately started on the ropes he’d wrapped around my ankles.
“Where did he go?” I asked as I untied the first knot and started on the second.
My fingers were numb and clumsy as I fought with the ropes.
“I don’t know, he had you brought in and tied to the bed and then they left. He didn’t look too happy.”
Freeing my other ankle I kicked my legs over the side of the bed and sucked in a deep breath. My head swam with colours and it took all of my strength to stay holding onto the side of the bed and not fall onto the floor.
“You don’t look so good,” Rosa said, dropping onto the bed next to me.
