My heart tore into pieces when I saw Lily's minion drag Sam into the same room as Eric and I. I hated her...I didn't turn her life into what it was, she did.

'Enjoy the reunion,' she turned and walked away.

'Sam,' I called her. She didn't budge. 'This is all my fault,' I told Eric, 'I should have told her where I was going before I left the office...she got a text from you too and somehow it got me angry. First you cheat on me with Sam...' he cut me short.

'You think.....' he was interrupted by Lily.

'Okay love birds,' she rolled her eyes at us, 'chit chat is over.' She poured the bottle water she held in her hand on Sam...I fidgeted on my seat...'damn you bitch, leave her alone,' I said out of anger... thankfully Sam was alive.

'Do your worst Lily...I don't care. Just leave them alone; besides, they are the love birds, not me.' I lowered my head while Lily laughed her heart out.

'I am so gonna enjoy this,' she looked at Eric and laughed. 'Let's play a game, shall we?'

'I don't feel like playing Lily...let me out so I can teach you a lesson you will never forget.' I looked at her, boring my eyes into her face. She faked fear and smiled...'Oh honey, I have nothing to lose but you have everything...so I suggest you keep calm or I slice a mark on your pretty face...Adrian won't even recognize you.' I gulped down saliva.

'Back to my game...it's a popular game of truth or dare.

Rules:
Two truth and a dare
You can't change your answer so think well before answering
You can't do anyone's dare
No wasting of time to respond
Obey all the rules or you bleed.

'So, shall we?' she sat down on the chair her minion had brought in. 'Becky,' she looked at me, 'truth or dare?'

I didn't respond...maybe cause I wanted to know what she was capable of doing. She looked at me with stern eyes and asked again...'Becky, truth or dare? Need I remind you what the rules are?' I reluctantly answered...

'Truth...'

'Between Eric and Adrian, who would you rather date?' The rules were to think well before answering. I thought so hard, avoiding Eric's eyes.

'Times up Becky...your answer?'

'None,' I responded. My life was already a mess with them in it...if I had to choose, I'll choose me...my freedom and peace of mind.

'Eric...I know you didn't see that coming but truth or dare?'

'Dare,' he said.

'Challenging...' she smiled and called Jared...I believe was her minion. Jared walked in and I opened my mouth. He was tall, huge, full of muscles and had an intimidating face.

'Untie Eric...Eric your dare is to fight Jared...first man down wins and the other...well, we don't want to find out.'

I watched Eric get beaten up and I was expecting Sam to plead on his behalf but she didn't budge... I mean she loves this guy right? That's why she had to go after him by snitching on me. When the fight was done, Eric was dragged back to his position, bleeding from his nose and mouth.

'Sam,' she called out...'truth or dare?' Sam looked at me and looked back at Lily...'truth...'

'Have you ever thought of having Becky's life... people choosing you and wanting you... making you feel loved?'

Sam looked down...'yes... sometimes but still, I couldn't be more happier for my best friend...cause I want what's best for her...'

Lily rolled her eyes...'blah! blah! blah! This is not an emotional rom drama...I need your answer not your explanation. Now I'm bored...' she got up and walked out.

'We have to get out of here...to do that, we need to help each other,' I eyed Eric and Sam. Both agreed and we started on plans to untie each rope, distract the minions and jump through the window. Everything was set; we agreed to wait till dark to enact our plan when Lily walked in...my phone in her hand.

'Guess who's calling?' she shook it in my face. I looked...Adrian. She smiled...'he sent a text too...'she added and read it loud.

'where are you? I am sorry if I said anything wrong the other day. Please we need to talk.

Adrian.'

'Should I reply? Hmm...what do I say? I'd hate to be the spoiler of fun and romance,' she said.

'No touch am...I go pele-pele you o,' (translated Don't touch him...I'll kill you) I angrily said in pidgin and watched her expression.

'I don't understand jargons but I think I'll reply...this is getting more interesting.' She clicked on my phone and said aloud.

'I'm at Hunter lane sir...Needed to cool my head but we can see...let's say 7:30pm.'

Message alert.

'Okay.'

'That was quick,' she said.

'You're psycho...I'll kill you if you touch him,' I echoed as she walked out laughing loudly.
