"You don't know me yet, Emma?"
Blood freezes. Cold crept in my spine. It felt like cold water suddenly splashed on my face.
'Oh my God'
"Will-william"
The word came out as a slow whisper. I can't believe my eyes. The fact that for the past two years I had run away from her was now looking at me in a mock manner. I never imagined that the horrible, disgusting memories I had stored in my heart would greet me like lightning, shattering my life like a piece of paper.
William stroked my wet cheek with the tip of his cold fingers and whispered near my lips.
"Yes, Honey. I'm back."
Tears began to melt from my eyes as I looked at her sadly. Slowly, I held her face with trembling hands. William looked at me in shock because he wasn't expecting that.
"What happened to you, william? Why did you become like this?" I said as I stroked my fingers over his tattoos and piercings.
'He doesn't look like my William?' Now he really looks like a gangster I hate the most.
"What have you done to yourself? You don't look good. You don't look like my William. You-"
I couldn't finish my sentence when William suddenly kissed my lips. I was surprised and started pushing her shoulders, but she didn't budge. I started to move my head to the side, but she pulled my lower lip violently and bit her, making me scream in pain.
William then let go of his kiss and looked at me sharply while I looked at him with terror.
"I became like this because of you. I have destroyed myself because of you. You leave me and run," he growled while holding my face tightly, his finger squeezing my cheek painfully.
'But that's not true'
I took her hand and pulled it out of my face. "Don't try to accuse me, william. You're the guilty here, not me. And I didn't leave you, you lied to me, hid yourself, killed my friends, beat me up so many times, and even you sexually assaulted me. I was too afraid of you, which is why I ran away to save my life" I shouted in front of him.
He was surprised by my words. Making use of her fixated state, I pushed her away from me and ran away. I went into a random room and locked the door. I could no longer control myself and burst into tears.
"Why doesn't he understand?"
I slumped on the floor crying with all my heart.

~The next day
At 8:00 in the morning
I woke up to feel the glittering rays of the sun sweeping across my face. I blinked my eyes to adjust the view to the bright light. I slowly opened my eyes and found myself on the bed. Even my body was wrapped in a light blue silk blanket.
'But I was on the floor. How did I end up here?'
I explored this luxurious room while looking at it when I heard the sound of the door creaking.
William.
Buty?
William had cut his hair short and also removed his piercings on his left eyebrow and lower lip. He was wearing a Louis Vuitton black suit and looked very handsome and charming.
Unknowingly, a smile appeared on my face because he looked like my William. To my surprise, he also smiled at me. Then he came into the room and approached me.
William then sat down beside me. I kept looking at him in silence. He then raised his hand and rubbed my right cheek with his palm.
"How are you?" he said while looking at me gently. I don't know why, suddenly my eyes were filled with tears and I threw myself into his arms. I started crying. William said nothing. He stroked my back and hugged me tightly. He began to rub my head gently to calm me down.
After 15 minutes of sobbing, I let go of the hug. He wiped my tears and kissed my forehead.
"Do you feel good?" I nodded while still looking down.
"Wait here" he said and walked out of the room. I was completely confused by her sudden change in attitude, but then she walked into the room with a plastic bag in her hand. He closed the door and approached me. He then gave the bag to me. I looked at him confused.
"Look."
I took the bag out of his hand and found a box inside. The box is wrapped. It seems like it was some kind of gift. I smiled and looked at William. He chuckled and raised his eyebrows, showing me to open them. I opened the box and saw a beautiful dress. Buty?
It was the same dress she bought for me when we went to the mall that day where I met Vincent.
William then took the dress from my hand and placed another box on my lap. It's also a gift. Excitedly, I opened the wrapper quickly and looked...
A beautiful pearl and diamond necklace.
"Why?"
"Why, why? Can't I give a gift to my beautiful wife?" William chuckled but frowned as I turned my gaze down as tears grew louder from my eyes.
"Emma?"
"But I don't deserve it" I muttered guiltily, but she heard it. He sighed and wiped my tears with his thumb.
"That's enough. I don't want to see tears in your eyes anymore. Get up and prepare yourself. I'll wait for you, my daughter," he said. I looked at her in surprise, but she laughed and kissed my lips.
"William, but you said last night that I was-"
He immediately placed his index finger on my lips, making me silent. "Not to talk. First, I want you to refresh yourself and then go downstairs. We'll discuss this later," he smiled at me. William got up and opened the door. Four servants entered the room.
"Give beauty to my daughter and bring her down" he ordered those who then nodded their heads. He smiled at me and left the room.
"What happened to her all of a sudden?"

~Time passed
At 9:00 in the morning
The maids put on my face and arranged my hair. I checked myself in the mirror. I look beautiful, but I'm a little confused why william gave me fancy things? Is he going to take me somewhere?
I descended slowly from the stairs so as not to stumble over this heavy silk dress. I saw William in the living room sitting on the couch. He's doing work on his laptop. I walked towards him.
"William," call me to her gently.
She's staring. He put the laptop on the table and stood up.
"You look amazing, baby," she smiled sinisterly as she looked at me from head to toe. I flushed and lowered my head. She laughs.
"Now go and prepare breakfast."
Whahuh?
But I think we're going to go out?
I am confused by his words.
"W-What?"
"You hear me?" william said indifferently. He then turned around and returned to his original place. "10 minutes," he murmured as he sat on the sofa and picked up his laptop which was placed on the table.
"What?" I said while looking at him with raised eyebrows. I almost jumped out of my place when William suddenly threw the laptop on the floor with a loud bang. I looked at him in shock, but he stood up and shouted angrily to my surprise.
"Whatwhat? ARE YOU DEAF OR WHAT? I told you to make breakfast for me and be ready in 10 minutes. UNDERSTAND?", he shouted while looking at me ferociously. I was surprised to see his eyes lit up with anger.
"Why should I make breakfast for you? Moreover how can I make it with a dress like this?", I replied as I pointed at the wide choppy dress that was forced by her to me. But to my surprise, he just sighed hearing my words.
"That's not my problem. And besides, I want you to dress up like a Barbie doll because you are my puppet," she laughed as she approached me with long steps.
I looked at him in shock, "What do you mean?"
William laughed darkly. He raised his right hand into the air and started stroking my cheek with the back of his hand.
"Yes, baby, I always love you with all my heart, but I don't think you deserve my love. Do you think I've forgotten your betrayal? No, honey, and now it's time to show you the real me. Now I'm gonna play with you the way you did me. And now I'm really gonna treat you like a real doll."
His words gave me goosebumps as I remained standing in my place. It meant that she did not give me a gift, but makeup me to act like a doll as well. My eyes are filled with tears. I can feel my heart breaking. He started to get closer, but I quickly pushed him back and shouted furiously.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?", I shouted, but I was shocked when William suddenly pulled out a shiny silver gun from his pants and pointed it at a maid.
"William, what are you doing?" I trembled in fear, but he still looked serious.
"Go or I'll shoot," he spat, his voice cold as his face expressionless.
"What are you-"
