Before I could even process his words , he started talking , his voice a low , excited murmur . " I was just playing along with you . See how nice I am ? This is like our own little game , isn't it ? I've never even had a girlfriend befo- re . This is my first time playing something like this . " The door began to creak open as he pried at it . His foot slid back into the gap . The fear was real now , sharp and suffocating . " Get the hell out ! " I screamed . " Or I'm calling the cops ! " He didn't even flinch . Instead , he pulled out his phone and showed me the chat log with Liam from the delivery app . My blood ran cold as I saw the messages . Liam had told him everything , holding nothing back . " Driver : What if she's not alone ? Liam : She is . I guarantee it . Driver : What if she's a catfish ? Liam : Then do me a favor and teach her a lesson . I knew Liam was just trying to be edgy , fully committing to the stupid " e - girlfriend " prank . But what now ? What was I going to do ? The gap in the door widened . I told myself to stay calm , glaring at him with all the menace I could muster . " If you touch me , you'll rot in prison ! " His smile just got wider , more grotesque . He waved his phone . " What ? I'm just teaching you a lesson , like your boyfriend said . You are a catfish ! He said you were a goddess , and yeah , you're pretty , but you're no goddess . " His twisted logic left me speechless . The door was opening wider and wider . I couldn't hold him back anymore . I turned to sprint for my phone in the bedroom . 11.15 Chapter 1 Suddenly , an explosion of pain erupted from my scalp . He had a fistful of my hair , yanking me backward with brutal force . A raw scream tore from my throat . I thrashed , trying to break his grip , but he kicked me hard in the stomach . The strength difference was immense ; I was powerless . He started dragging me toward the sofa , and a sob escaped my lips . Liam's voice was still echoing from the bedroom . " Aubrey ! What's wrong ?! I think I heard you scream ! Should I call 911 ? Aubrey , answer me ! " I tried to scream back , to tell him yes , but just as I opened my mouth , a hand cracked across my face . The world went white for a second . Tears streamed down my cheeks , my mind chanting one frantic thought : No , please , this is disgusting . My whole body trembled as he tied my hands and found my phone . The video call was still active . Liam's terrified face filled the screen . Seeing him gave me a sliver of hope . " Help ... " CRACK . Another slap , harder this time . My face was on fire . " Aubrey ! What's happening ?! " Liam screamed , his eyes wide with horror as he saw my swelling cheek . The driver's leering face appeared next to mine on the screen . " No ... I'm so sorry , Aubrey , this is all my fault ! " Liam was sobbing now . " I just saw that stupid prank online , I thought it would be fun- ny ... How could this happen ?! Hold on , I'm coming to save you ! " The driver seemed to be enjoying the show . He didn't hang up . His fingers moved toward the buttons of my shirt . The violation snapped me back to reality . I spat in his face .
