I'd just like to say that I'm extremely happy some readers still like my story. I do understand where other people are coming from, though, with their disagreements. I've just finished the fifth chapter and decided to post it. Thanks in advance to everyone who reads this!

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

"Welcome To My Life" Simple Plan

Chapter 5

I continued to be taught my lesson for the next few days. Of course, I was to be remained chained to the bed for the rest of the nights. And if he meant like for like, most likely two to three more weeks.

Sleep was a long way away, even as the room began to darken, I couldn't force my eyes shut. Hours passed and when I stretched to ease my muscles, I was once again reminded of my discomfort.

Nathan entered the chamber then, along with a short woman whose plain brown eyes widened in horror as she saw me. She was dressed in servant's clothing and looked to be around Kelly's age. She was carrying a wash bowl, rags and a tray of food.

"Put the bowl down, Sarah, and go get what else is needed," Nathan said to the woman. She left without question.

I could feel him watching me, wanting me to look back. I refused until I felt his finger run along the side of my foot. Then I gave him my gaze, but with all the hate I felt.

"Whoa, finally showing an emotion besides fear, I see," he smiled, but it wasn't a friendly one. No, it was one of triumph. "Notice I'm not at all unhappy about your anger. No, I welcome it."

I closed my eyes, the one small retaliation I could have.

"Look at me," he demanded harshly. "Whenever I am present you will keep your eyes on me. Is that clear? Don't make me repeat that."

Another threat. Something he was tremendously good at. I just sent him another glare. Why conceal my resentment when he welcomed it?

"It seems I have to make yet another allowance for your gender. Don't fool yourself, I would have sent you a male, only I could not find one who would be able to control himself alone with you," he said. "Sarah will see to your needs. She's extremely loyal, so don't try to persuade her into helping you escape. It won't work."

"But I find myself loathe to leave, seeing as though I'd miss an opportunity to humiliate you once more," the smile returned. "So I think I'll lend my presence here while Sarah tends to you. You'll keep your eyes on me, understand?"

I was too appalled to even give him a nod, but had this gag not been in my mouth, I would have screamed all the expletives I knew at him.

Sarah re-entered the room with more food and towels. She had a sickened look on her face, and for a moment I felt for her, but then I remembered what she was doing. I got my small victory, though, by focusing my eyes on the object behind Nathan, blurring my vision of him.

Sarah removed my gag and moved to feed me, but not before I had my say.

"You inconsiderate, despicable, cruel monster," I screamed

"I don't care to hear her bothersome voice, Sarah. Keep the food in her mouth," was his reply.

"Bastard," I screamed. "You jackass, self-"I nearly choked on my food, there was such a large amount Sarah had shoved in my mouth.

When I was done being fed and my teeth were brushed, another gag was placed into my mouth before I had a chance to get another word in.

When Sarah was dismissed, Nathan left the foot of the bed and came to my side.

"Stupid girl," he said as he leaned over me. "It was very clever of you to distort your vision. But had you obeyed me in the first place, you would have seen that I lent only my presence, not my attention."

"Do you want to guess what your punishment will be?" he sneered. But I had no time to think, for his hands had went straight to my thighs.

"Fight it, you little thief," he said. "Learn that the body doesn't care what you want. It knows only pleasure."

God help me I was already starting to react to his nearness. No! I needed to fight this. But it was so hard, with his lascivious strokes and warm breath on my neck.

I felt the heat of him on my thigh and knew that I wasn't the only one affected. The moisture was already there; his victorious laugh told me so.

He slid easily into me then, and as much as I wanted to fight it, I couldn't resist. You just don't want him to hurt you, I told myself. You don't really want this pleasure from him, do you?

With each thrust my thoughts slipped away, and when I found my satisfaction, I watched as he too was taken into pure bliss.

The cruel lines of his face vanished for a minute, showing me how truly handsome he was behind his mask of hatred.

I didn't want to see that. I didn't want to know that there could be a real man under that terrible monster. He collapsed against me, his face buried in my neck. He wasn't as quick to leave me this time either.

When he did, his mask was firmly back in place and his once harsh breathing was back to normal. He quickly dressed, but still hadn't left. His eyes just continued to rove up and down my body, and his hand lightly trailed down the underside of my raised arm.

"Maybe next time you'll obey my orders," his lips curled in a cruel smile. "Or do you enjoy my revenge? You have to admit, I didn't give in as easily as you did."

I wanted so badly to spit in his face, and I could see in his eyes that he knew it. He laughed.

"Good. I would not like to think you enjoy my visits when I detested yours so, when all I could think about was wrapping my hands around your pretty little throat."

His hand came softly to the object in which he was discussing, but I wasn't alarmed. Death would be so quick and merciful. No, he would make me suffer far more than death.

He saw my lack of fear and his eyes turned angry.

"You think you know everything I'll do, don't you?" he bit out, obviously mad at me. "Think again, because you'll never know what I'm capable of. You better hope I find my revenge satisfying or else you'll be praying for death."

If his words were meant to startle me, he was utterly sucessful.

Okay so tell me what you guys think!! I really hope everyone enjyed this chapter. Thanks again for reading!
