Chapter 10: House Arrest

They had now been at the house for 2 days. The only thing that ran through Lisa's mind was her baby and its safety. She was working her brain on overload with trying to think of an escape plan

"I need to get out of here. I need to get my baby away from this man. There has to be a way to escape." Lisa was hard in thought and her facial expressions showed it.

"What is it that you're thinking so hard about, Lisa?" Jackson said.

"How much I hate you." Lisa spat at him.

"Oohh, now now Leese, you don't want to get on my bad side. You want to stay on my good side." Jackson said.

"You don't have a good side Jackson. You don't have a good, nice bone in your body. I hate you!" Lisa felt an argument coming on. She knew she shouldn't push him but she wanted to see how far she had to push him for him to actually crack.

Without saying anything, Jackson roughly and angrily grabbed Lisa's arm and dragged her upstairs.

"Let me go, what are you doing! Ow you're hurting me! Stop!"

"You don't want to behave like a good girl, you're going to get punished." Jackson was angry.

He brought her into the master bedroom.

"I didn't want to tie you to the bed, but you leave me no choice. You can't expect to mouth off at me like that and get away with it. I didn't want to have to tie my pregnant wife up, but you just can't listen and follow the rules."

"I AM NOT YOUR WIFE AND I WILL NEVER BE!" Lisa screamed.

"Not yet, you aren't." Jackson sarcastically winked at her.

"What are you talking about Jackson?" Lisa was skeptical.

"You'll find out on Saturday." His smile was smug.

He tied her legs to the end of the bedpost. He pulled the ropes tight. He left her hands untied for some unknown reason.

"You're putting me under house arrest in our home? Now whose not being nice." Lisa said smartly.

He pulled the ropes tighter as he was tying. "Ow it's too tight, it hurts!" Lisa moaned.

"Well maybe if you stop being so smart with me, I will loosen them." Jackson said as his walked out of the room and locked the door.

"NOW YOU STAY IN THERE AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DID WRONG, DARLING!" Jackson screamed as he walked down the stairs.

He crept back up the stairs just enough until he knew she would be able to hear him.

"You sit tight now Leese, don't try anything that will get you into even more trouble. I am going to the store and getting some groceries for you. I am being nice so why don't you return the favor." Jackson yelled.

"Go to hell Jackson!" Lisa screamed.

"Such bad manners..." Jackson mumbled as he grabbed his car keys and walked out the door.

Lisa heard him start his Silver BMW.

"Now's my chance to escape! Come on Lisa think!!" She said as she was working nonstop trying to free her legs of the tightly knotted ropes.
