Lonely Bride

“Rose, what’s wrong?” His voice was calm but full of warnings to get to the point.

“Can you please take me out of this place, please?” I spoke nervously.

“Where are you? I have been looking for you everywhere, but I don’t know in which corner of this world you are.” He spoke, and frustration was clear in his voice.

“Your bloody useless husband has hidden you as if you never existed.” He was angry now.

Somehow, I know he must have tried to get in touch with me, but as usual, I had nothing where he could get in touch with me. Sean took away everything.

“I am sending you my location, but listen to me and listen carefully. It won’t be easy for me to get out of here. We need a proper plan for it. Let me learn about all the corners of this island, and I will send you the entire details, but before that, please find out a place where Sean could not reach. I will call you again after a day or two. And before that, I will send you my location so you have time to prepare yourself.” I spoke, cutting down on his complaint because I knew I had little time. Anyone can barge in at any time.

“Why are you sounding like we are going to commit some kind of crime?” His voice reached my ear, and I smiled at hearing him.

I know he is powerful, but he is far from cunning. After his wife’s demise, he has been cut off from the world. His life is just surrounded by us and his work. I know he doesn’t even have friends aside from me and Nathan. And he thinks everyone is as nice as he is, but the reality is far from that, my friend.

“Well, not any crime, as I am coming with you with all my will, but it’s difficult to get out of Sean Hudson’s clutch.” I gave him a reality check.

If he thinks he will come here and take me with him, then he is wrong.

I know Sean will never let me go that easily.

“He is not keeping you right, Sarah.” His words somehow hit a place where they hurt the most.

What should I tell him now? That he keeps me like a queen, but I know it’s all fake.

“Can you please do as I say, for once at least?” I pleaded to avoid his question.

I know I have to face them today or tomorrow, but I would rather choose tomorrow than today.

“Ok, don’t worry; everything will be done. Just send me your location and your plan.” He spoke, and I know he is my genuine friend, and he will do anything to take me out of this place.

“Okay. I can’t talk much right now. I will call you again once I am ready.” I Said and cut the phone.

The first thing I did was send the location to him. And once I checked, it was delivered. I switched off the phone and hid it back where it was. Because if no one has found this till now, that means no one will find it in the future either.

I kept the phone back, unlocked the room, and again sat back on my bed and gulped the whole glass of water.

I don’t know why I am feeling like I am committing some kind of crime.

Next day

My mind was always noticing small things in my surroundings.

I have taken walks on the island to get a glimpse of him when he has security.

There is a small forest on this island. I just walked towards it to get the idea.

There was always one security person walking behind me. According to Sean, he is there if I need anything or in case of any emergency, and because of my health, I even believed him, but now this person is pissing me off. His presence annoys me.

But who can be a better person than this guy? He will give me the information I need right now.

“Ahem, jammy,” I said while looking back a little.

With two long strides, I stood next to her.

“Yes, maam,” he asked.

“I just love this island. Can you please tell me more about what else we have here?” I asked carefully.

I started walking, and he started following me a step back.

Mam, the part you have seen is a small part of this island. This island is huge and covered with dense forest.” He replied while walking behind.

“Can we go there? I want to take Bela and show her natural beauty.” I spoke, looking here and there to memorize the entire area.

I also notice there isn’t any security inside the forest. I guess because they might have assumed no one will pass the security of the place we are and going inside the forecast will be a secondary thing.

Mam, there is a beautiful small beach on the other side of the forest, but it has a walk of twenty minutes or more, and I guess that won’t be advisable for you. But I am sure Baby Bella would love it once she visits there.” I was listening to each detail carefully.

“What’s so special about that beach?” I asked.

Mam, on that side you will see some rock mountains, and the view of the beach and the greenery around is breath-taking,” I smirked hearing this.

“Which side of the beach are the mountains?” I spoke while touching the tree on my way.

Mam, it’s the east side of this island.” I nodded in affirmation.

“But why is there no proper way to go towards the beach?” I asked, looking at the rocky path.

Mam, sir, hardly visits this island and chooses to go by the jetty to the other side of the island. Hence, there is no proper way. However, if you look down, you will find a light walking path towards the beach, as staff of the island often use this path to go there, as there are several coconut trees there, and they go there to get them.” I notice a small line on the path.

‘So, this path will lead me towards the other side of the beach.’ I concluded.

Finally, I found my way out of this island.

Now I just need an escape plan for the same.
