Chapter 5
Scott, Derek and Meghan are in an elevator in an expensive hotel. Meghan has no doubt that her husband sent these guys to bring her to him. She just hopes that her brother is okay. She knows that he could be the only person who could help her. The elevator stops on the 10th floor and the doors open.
"This is our stop." Scott tells Meghan.
Scott and Derek lead Meghan out of the elevator and down the hall to the only room on the floor. Meghan is now close to panicking. She knows that Craig will be furious with her and she's afraid of what he's going to do to her. They knock on the hotel room door. After about a minute, Craig opens the door.
"Meghan, so happy that you changed your mind." He says to Meghan with the look of fury in his eyes.
"I didn't have a choice. You hired these two thugs to drag me back to you." She replies.
He grabs onto Meghan's right arm and pulls her into the hotel room.
Craig looks at Scott and Derek.
"You can go. I'll arrange payment later." He tells them and with that, he closes the door.
"You had no right to have those two bring me back against my will!" Meghan yells at Craig. She no longer fears Craig. She decides that it's about time she stood up to him. She always did have the Boscorelli stubborness in her.
He lets go of her arm and slaps her across the face. She is holding the right side of her face with her hand.
"Who do you think you are!" She yells.
He forces her up against a wall and hold her there by her throat. He is holding her there with just enough pressure to make it difficult to breath.
"I am your husband, and you will obey me. Not even your tempermental brother can change that. Let him try and save you. You will do as I say, when I say it. Do you understand?"
Meghan nods her head what she can. Craig lets go of her throat.
"Go change and freshen up. We have dinner reservations at 6pm. I'll be back in in an hour. You better be ready and don't try anything. I have a man outside the door and I have told him to hurt you if you try to leave again. Don't try and use the phone either. I'll know if you try and call for help. Disobey me once more and I will have my men hurt not only your brother, but also your mother as well. Then it will be on your head." He tells Meghan before he turns and walks out of the hotel room.
Meghan turns around and sees herself in the mirror that is hanging on the wall. Tears are falling down her cheeks and she is still holding her face from where Craig hit her.
"I can't do this anymore. I think I'd rather die first." Meghan says almost if to convince herself that dying would be better than to live like this.
