Shock of Pregnancy.
Pregnant.
Cecilia could not believe it. How….? For a long time one of the first things she had done when Adrian unveiled his true colours and revealed the manipulative control freak that he was and he began mentally and physically abusing her, forcing her to dress the way he wanted, forcing her to think the way he wanted, forced her to eat what he wanted her to eat.
For god's sake, the bastard had even put a shock collar on her dog! But if there was one thing she had gone out of the way to avoid was try to avoid being pregnant. She knew if she got pregnant, and with the frequent and regular sex games he forced her through it was amazing she hadn't become pregnant, but Cecilia knew she'd made a mistake. If Adrian had discovered a way of becoming invisible, it would not have taken him long to realise she had used medication. And now his bastard brother who was likely in on whatever sick schemes Adrian was involved in was telling her the truth, Adrian had not only discovered what she had done, he had gone out of his way to hit her where it hurt. It was both like Adrian and not like him; she had expected some brutal mental abuse that would have hit her like an avalanche, but keeping his secret meddling secret without letting her realise what he had done would not only be up his street, he would also have something over her.
Cecilia had come up with a dozen ways of how her ex-husband - they hadn't divorced, she had been too frightened of him while she had remained with James and Sydney to even muster the courage to go that far. In any case, Adrian had shown signs of never giving a damn about the law so even if he had received the papers he would never have signed them.
She was just…reeling from everything that had happened so far. Not only had Adrian discovered how to become invisible, she had actually seen the amazing suit wink into existence when she had broken into his house, but now Emily was dead - courtesy of Adrian slitting her throat while he was in his own suit in that restaurant before handing her the knife, Cecilia was kicking herself for not taking the suit and putting it on and giving Adrian a taste of his own medicine. She wondered if the bastard even knew how to track down another invisible person, but she knew it would be hard for her to do the same thing.
While she lay on the bed in her 'cell' after fixing the fountain pen trap - the hospital attendants could call the place whatever they wished, but it was a cell to her; it had four walls, a bed and a shower, the door was regularly locked with her inside it, so what else could it be called? - Cecilia sighed as she remembered her hasty decision to stuff that invisibility suit out of sight in Adrians' house rather than putting it on herself and using it to escape without her ex-husband even knowing she was there, or where she was.
Adrian might have invented the invisibility technology, but something had told her he didn't have a way of seeing through the suits anymore than she did. She didn't know herself, all because of her badly thought out plan to stuff the suit out of sight. She wished she had taken the damn thing and gotten out of there, and it would have been fun for an invisible woman to fight off the invisible man. She realised now she'd made a mistake in expecting James to find out the truth, or herself using a way to get under the technology of the suit; she should have remembered her lesson from the house, Adrian had made her think he was outside while she had laid traps around herself so if he'd stepped on them, she would have known he was there, except he tricked her.
Another sigh as Cecilia thought about what she could have done with that suit. She could have discovered evidence James could not refute that Adrian was alive, and he had learnt how to become invisible rather than look at her with disbelief or worry she was insane and out of her mind. With such a suit, she could have followed Tom around and maybe even find a way of exposing his involvement in this whole mess.
If she had made use of that suit, Emily might still be alive.
Murdering Emily was one of the worst things Adrian had ever done. There was no need for him to go that far, but was it all a part of his master plan to make her pay, and to make her into a broken shell of herself? She clenched her fist at the thought of Adrian breaking her by murdering her sister. Even Cecilia had begun wondering if she'd been developing a split personality like Jekyll and Hyde when Emily had revealed that she'd been given those emails insulting her, emails which had come straight from Cecilia's computer. A frown crossed her face as she wondered about Adrians' scheme. What did he eventually plan to do? Was the baby a factor in her plan? She suspected that it was. Adrian had always wanted to become a father, although Cecilia prayed he never got the chance; Adrian had twisted his own brother Tom until his brother didn't have any kind of thought for himself, God knew what he would do with a child. That was one of the reasons why she had gone out of her way to try to prevent that. Cecilia closed her eyes as she tried to think of a way she could get out of here and stop Adrian. Maybe there was a way Cecilia could get to the manor, steal the suit, make use of it and fight Adrian on his own turf instead of him destroying her life piece by piece.
She already had a weapon thanks to Tom's fountain pen. It shouldn't be a problem for her to set up, and when she did she was going to find a way of making the bastard pay.
