“I don’t know…”

“Dad, please? It’s what I want. I want to be with Stosh. I just want things to go back to normal.”

He shook his head. “Your mother is going to be upset about this, Ivy. You know how she worries about you.”

“I know. What happened last night was a mistake. I won’t do it again. I promise. I don’t want to die, Daddy. I just want to be happy. I just want to go home.” I cried even more.

He rolled his eyes, but walked out of the room, grabbing his cell phone out of his pocket. Stosh came over to the bed. He massaged my wrists. “Are they on too tight?”

I shook my head. “No. They aren’t bad.”

“It’s a good thing your dad is a damn doctor. I don’t know if I could handle sleeping without you tonight.”

“Well, you’re getting pretty good about sneaking people in and out of hospitals. I’m sure we could have figured a way to be together.” I couldn’t help but feel giddy, thinking about being with Stoshua.

He ran his fingers over my wrist restraints and removed one of them. “Fuck the rules!”

I smiled and waited for my other hand to be free. By the time my father made it back in the room, Stosh was sitting on the bed hugging me. My father looked pleased. He had no clue that I wasn’t Ivy. My mother would be the one to convince, but since she hadn’t seen me in a while, and my father had seen me strapped to the bed, I didn’t think she would question it. I had to put on a show for her and the time had come. She came in carrying a cup of coffee. She was wearing scrubs, and I gathered that she must be performing some kind of procedure here at the hospital. “Honey, I just got out of surgery. How are you feeling?”

“I didn’t get much sleep. My stomach hurts.”

My mother looked at Stoshua. “You did this to her, you know. You put her in this hospital bed.”

He put his head down and I wondered if it was because he secretly wanted to smile. “I know. How many times do I have to apologize for my actions?”

“Mom, stop! I can’t deal with any more fighting. I just want to go home and work things out with my husband.” Saying that was never going to get old.

“You’ve been through something traumatic. I’ve cleared my schedule in order to stay home and care for you.” My mother was adamant.

“I want to go to my house. Nothing is going to be solved until Stosh and I can work out our problems. We can’t do that if I’m at your house. I appreciate the gesture, but I’m going to be fine.”

I was praying she would buy it. The last thing I wanted to do was spend several days under the care of my doctor mother, while Stoshua babysat my restrained sister.

She looked at Stosh. “Are you going to stand by my daughter this time, or run out on her again.” The question seemed funny to me, since he was still banging one of her daughters. Me being that person.

“I promise. She’s not leaving my side.”

She threw her hands up in the air. “This is ridiculous. She needs constant supervision!”

“I’m not a baby!”

“You took a bottle of pain pills and drank them down with a glass of vodka. I hardly think your decision making can be factored into this.”

“She’s my wife. With all due respect, I’m taking her home.” Stosh had the last word. My mother shook her head and gave up.

They all three went out in the hallway to discuss my release, while I dressed into my sister’s clothes. By the time, Stosh came back into the room, my parent’s had gone home. He smiled when he saw me dressed and ready. “Your dad made a few calls. I already signed your release papers. You’re free to go.”

I didn’t waste any time. “Let’s get out of here. We still have a lot of work to do.”

He stopped me and reached for my hand. “This should have been on your finger for the last four years.” He slipped Ivy’s wedding set onto my ring finger. “It’s official, you’re my wife.”

I laughed. “That’s funny, I don’t even remember our wedding.”

“Let’s get out of here and talk about renewing those vows. My wife needs to remember important moments like her wedding.”

Leaving the hospital was like being freed from a life time sentence in jail. I almost ran out of those double doors. The nurse gave me dirty looks, like my father had bent the rules and I was just his little charity case daughter. I wanted to smack them all. If they only knew what I’d been through.

When we arrived back at his place, he leaned over and pulled me into a deep kiss. “Are you ready for the second part of this plan of yours?”

“I think I might just want to off her instead.”

He got this shocked look on his face. “Are you serious?”

I smacked him on the shoulder. “Killing her would be too easy. I want her to suffer.” I clapped my hands together and rubbed them like I was some evil witch.

“I’m kind of scared of you right now.”

I leaned over close enough to brush my lips against his. “You should be. The demon in me has been awakened and it won’t settle until she’s paid for what she’s done.”

“When your skin begins to turn green and you wear ruby slippers, I’m ducking out of this plan.”

We both began to laugh.

I needed to breathe and relax before we went inside. It was going to be hard to torture my sister until she broke. I wasn’t going to change my mind, but I wasn’t exactly cut out for torture.

Chapter 16

May I have this dance?

Stosh was extremely lucky when it came to the property he rented. The main

house was far away from the pool house and the owners only lived in the house for three months out of the year. Part of Stosh’s rental agreement called for him to care for the house while they were away.

Even though nobody could hear her, Stosh had still gagged her so she couldn’t scream. I don’t think she expected to see me walking in the door. She looked afraid and that was exactly how I wanted her to feel. This was about torturing her to the brink of insanity and then repeating the process over and over. Willow was no longer the nice sister. She’d been replaced by someone who was spiteful and wouldn’t stop until justice was served.

It was awesome seeing her tied to the bed and struggling to get free. She knew I wasn’t screwing around anymore. I walked over and ran my hands up Stosh’s chest, making sure she was watching. I grabbed the collar to his shirt and pulled him down to meet my lips.
