Alyssa-

I heard when Dwayne came in and shouted my name. I couldn't respond. Dolph had me tied to the bed, my wrist raw and bleeding from how tight they were handcuffed to the bed. Summer had covered my mouth to stop me from screaming. She came back in and sighed.

"Its like you like when he hurts you. If you would just listen to him and be good. Aly he could make you the happiest and richest woman in the world", Summer said.

She removed the cover from my mouth.

"Then you can have him, I don't want him", I cried.

He had raped me two days in a row. I still had two days off. I came home from work and tired, I just wasn't feeling up to it but he didn't care. He took what he wanted, he tied me to keep from fighting him. He didn't plan to untie me till I had to go back to work. Summer fed me and let me use the bathroom, but with her pointing a gun at my head to keep me from running.

"Let me go Summer, he won't know", I cried.

"But he would and then he would take it out on me", she said.

"Please", I begged.

"He has almost broken you, I can tell, just a little more", I heard her mumble.

We heard the front door slam.

"You called him", I growled.

"I had too", she said, moving aside.

Dolph came in and he didn't look happy.

"Why did he come looking for you?", he asked.

"Because no one has heard from me. The twins have been trying to call me, I always answer. I haven't spoken to my dad, they are worried", I said.

"He said that if he doesn't hear from her by tonight, they are coming with a warrant tomorrow", Summer said.

"Get out you useless bitch", he yelled.

Summer left quickly. I heard the front door slam. He paced and then started removing his clothes.

"Please no, Dolph please", I cried.

He came over to me and slapped me hard, pulling my hair.

"If I want you, I'll have you", he growled.


Dwayne-

I was pacing my living room, Lillian was worried too. When the phone rang, I quickly picked it up.

"Alyssa?", I asked.

Lillian stood in front of me.

"Yes, it's me", she said.

"Where are you?", I asked.

"On vacation, Dolph surprised me", she said, her voice sounded tired.

"Lys, you can tell me. I have a feeling something's going on, talk to me", I said.

"I'm fine, I'm happy, I love Dolph", she said, sounding like a robot.

"Alyssa", I said.

"I have to go Dwayne, see you in two days", she said, before hanging up.

"So?", Lillian asked.

"She said she's fine, but the tone of her voice says different", I said.

"We will figure something out", she said.

"We have too, before it's too late", I said.

She hugged me.


Alyssa-

Its been three months. I've learned to numb myself to Dolph, no longer giving him a reaction. Which makes him angrier. He doesn't hit my face because he knows Dwayne is on to him. I've spoken twice with my dad in these three months and once to the twins.

"Lys", my mom said.

I was on the balcony, looking over the city. Today was my day off.

"What?", I asked, exhausted.

"Come inside, it's cold out here", she said.

"It numbs the pain", I said, looking down at everyone below.

"Alyssa, Dolph's coming", Summer said.

I took a few steps back and walked inside. Dolph came in and smiled.

"Don't you look lovely", he said to me.

I rolled my eyes, he grabbed my face and forced me to look at him.

"Don't roll your eyes at me", he said.

"I'm sorry", I said.

He let me go and his smile returned.

"I have a surprise for you", he said.

"I love surprises", I said, knowing that's what he wanted to hear.

"I know, close your eyes Alyssa", he said to me.

I was afraid too, but did it anyway. Keeping him waiting would just make him hit me. I felt a cold object slip on my ring finger.

"Okay, open them", he said.

I did and saw the engagement ring on my finger. I stood and he hugged me.

"I knew you would love it. We get married in five months", he said.

"Yes Dolph", I said, faking a smile.

He kissed me and walked to his office. I looked at my mom and Summer, I was going to ask them for help but they wouldn't. They were just as afraid of him as I was. I walked to Dolph's office and knocked.

"Come in", he said.

I walked in and smiled, closing the door behind me.

"I would like to call Brie and Nikki. Give them the news, maybe they can help. We've dreamt about this ever since we were kids", I said.

"Of course", he said.

"Really?", I asked shocked.

He nodded and came over to me, pecking my lips.

"You asked for permission", he said.

I smiled.

"Thank you Dolph", I said.


Brie-

Getting the call from Alyssa and hearing she was engaged to Dolph was shocking. She sounded completely different and if we asked her anything, she gave us one worded answers. We flew to Arizona to meet with her, after Dolph gave the okay.

"Remember we are doing this for Aly", Nikki said.

I knocked on the door and Dolph answered. Fake smile plastered on his face. He gestured for us to come in.

"Where's Lys?", I asked.

"She's changing", he said.

We sat down and Aly appeared. She smiled and came over to us. She looked thinner and was wearing a long sleeved t-shirt that was too big on her. She looked exhausted and worn out. I was afraid to hug her because I was afraid I'd break her. I could tell Nikki wanted to cry.

"I've missed you both", she said.

She glanced at Dolph, before looking back at us.

"But Dolph is good company and I love him. He's amazing", she said.

It sounded rehearsed.

"We've missed you Aly", Nikki said.

"If you need me ladies, I'll be in my office", Dolph said.

"We won't need you", I snapped.

He stopped and looked at us. Aly stood and went over to him.

"She meant because this is a girl thing", Aly said.

Dolph kissed her cheek and left, but not before sending me a death glare. Aly came back over to us.

"Lyssa, what's going on? Why do you look so different?", Nikki asked.

She looked at the office door and shook her head.

"I'm fine", she said.

"Bullshit, if he's hurting you, you need to tell us", I said.

"Brie, drop it", she said.

Nikki went over to Alyssa and took her hands in hers.

"Hey listen, we got tickets to ComicCon, ask Dolph if you can come. It can be for your bachlorette party", Nikki said.

I was confused, she and I never discussed ComicCon. I waited to see where this was going.

"Go on ask", Nikki said.

Alyssa stood and went over to Dolph's door. Knocking, we heard him say come in and she did, closing the door behind her. I looked at Nikki.

"Where are you going with this?", I asked.

"He doesn't know where we live. Our apartment is under Bayley's name. If we can get her away from him, we can find out what's going on. Just play along", Nikki said.

I nodded. Alyssa came back out with a smile, Dolph behind her.

"She can go. When will this be?", he asked.

"Next month, I know Alyssa has always wanted to go to one and I figured you wouldn't want her around strippers, so why not take her to ComicCon", Nikki said.

Dolph nodded and then looked at Alyssa.

"You can go", Dolph said.

Alyssa smiled and hugged him, he smiled.

"Thank you Dolph", she said.

This wasn't Alyssa.
