Trapped with a Lawyer

Half an hour had passed.

Inside the car, no-one spoke, Ella leaned against a window, as far away from Samuel as she could. She watched as the city whizzed by outside.

Samuel rubbed the skin between his eyebrows and spoke calmly, "So, after being in there for a day, you know it's your fault, right?" Had he known what Catherine was going to do, he would never have left her side. In her time of need, he was no where to be found.

However, maybe this ordeal had not been all bad. Maybe it had finally tempered the bold, impulsive streak in Ella's temper. Maybe she wouldn't be so quick to act from now on.

Samuel was able to tolerate her being childish and often outlandish ideas of 'punishing' other people. But he was not OK with this new streak of criminal activities. No, he wouldn't stand for her cheating and slandering others.

He question seemed to fall on deaf ears. Ella sat silently, refusing to answer him. The only person she had ever truly loved no longer believed in her. She had nothing to say.

Once her cornerstone and protector, now in a time of need, her Samuel had been no where to find. Absent. He doubted that if they had not still be married he would have even come at all.

The car came to a stop at the door of their city Villa. "If you promise I can see Jerry whenever I want, I will agree to a divorce."

Anna, sitting in the driver's seat suddenly felt uncomfortable. The temperature inside the car seemed to drop several degrees.

Anna shivered. Where these the same two, who just weeks ago, had seemed so happy. The image of happiness. Who were these strangers she now saw in the backseat? How quickly they had moved towards divorce.

A few minutes later, Samuel stepped out of the car and slammed the door shut violently.

Just as Ella began to relax, thinking that Samuel had left, her door was pulled open without warning.

Nearly falling, Ella would have hit the ground had it not been for a handful of Samuel's shirt.

Samuel threw her over his shoulder and walked towards the villa. Having starved in a jail cell or two day, Ella nearly fainted in exhaustion.

Upon entering the villa, Samuel commanded Anna, "Tell Eason that I brought his sister back, safe and sound." Anna was greatly surprised at the man she now saw entering the villa. How strange these once familiar people seemed.

Anna remembered Samuel as a patient, gentle man. How cruel and rash he now seemed. She reflected on how he was with Emma; gentle and humorous.
