Audrey is crying on the couch while she covers her face with her hands. He is sitting right across her and watching her crying her heart out but he didn't care. Audrey pulls her head up to him with her tears wetting her cheeks.
"You promised me Audrey." He says firm.
He isn't bothered about her tears, he is hard as a rock and he does not care about emotions anymore. He knows pretty damn well that she acts her way out of trouble and he's gotten a hold of it for years now. He's used to seeing Audrey getting what she wants and she knows she can't deceive him but at least she tried to. He knows she's spoiled. He knows too damn well that he needs to trim down those devilish long horns above her head and he can do it because he can manipulate her for he knows all her dirty secrets.
"I know I promised you!" She yells.
"But it's taking so long!" He yells back.
She's scared. She knows he's capable of everything when he wants to do something. She knows damn well that he is willing to kill. And she's scared that he might actually hurt Hugo because she knows he can.
He's capable.
"I can't wait for it anymore! I need the money. I need the fucking money! You need to get all of Saintclare's money from him! I need more drugs! I need more money! Do you hear me?!" He screams again.
"It's not that easy!" She yells back. "You know he has millions and he placed his money on so many banks to secure his wealth! He has many bank accounts and I don't have the access yet!" She yells again.
"Well then little Hugo will get what he deserves." He smirks.
Her heart raced the next second. "Don't you dare hurt Hugo! That wasn't part of the plan!!" She screams with anger and fear.
"Well it's gonna be part of the plan now! I need the money ASAP!" He taunts her with his bloodshot eyes.
"Just fucking wait you asshole!" She stands from the couch, planning to leave.
He stands from the couch and was quick enough to reach her arm and strongly grabbed her wrist before he grabs her hair with his other hand. She grunts as soon as he pulled her back against his chest and wrapped his hand tight around her neck, right enough to make her struggle.
She is so scared and she doesn't know what to do because all she wants now is to leave his place right away before he can do something that will hurt her.
"What did you call me?" He whispers to her.
"I'm... I'm s-sorry..." She chokes a sob.
"I've been waiting Audrey." He reminds her.
His hand around her neck tightens a little bit and she quickly tries to pull it away but she fails the next second because he is far too strong.
"This is getting too delayed. I need the money. We've planned this together for so many years now. Don't forget, you owe me money. I made you famous you little bitch. I made your name!"
"I worked for what I have now!" She tries to scream at him.
His grips tighter as she groans, having a hard time taking amounts of air into her lungs. She couldn't breathe and he is literally choking her to death.
Her tears streaming down her face as she pleads for him to stop.
"You owe me that fucking huge amount of money to get your way with those well known people. You paid that world class photographer who turned out to be a maniac and I had to save your fucking ass because you didn't want to fuck him.” He says against his cheeks.
He sniffs her skin and she smells like a sweet-scented peach, “Don't you ever forget that baby. I saved you." He spits as he subtly release her neck.
She remembers and she remembers how that photographer harassed her during her audition.
"If I didn't give you that money, you wouldn't meet Paris again. You wouldn't end up with Landon. You wouldn't get Hugo as well. You wouldn't get those modeling projects that was all lined up for you!” His grip tightens around her neck again. “You wouldn't be who you are without me! Now that I ask for my money, my share, you can't give it just yet?!" He says angrily.
He slightly releases her neck just as when she was about to pass out. She coughs as she breathes inward and outward heavily. She is wheezing as she tries to calm herself down while her tears are still streaming down her face.
"Just... Just g-give me time... M-more time.. S-sweetheart please." She tries to sweet-talk her way into his thick heart but she knows he’s heartless.
"You know what I'm capable of, sweetheart." He warns her with firmness in his voice. She knows it was a threat and she is undeniably scared.
She nods at him.
"And don't you even forget that your career is on the brink of ending after putting up your little show that you did at that restaurant during the night of Ben's accident." He chuckles.
She wipes her tears, “If you didn’t act your way in then that child would not be involved in your stupid show!”
He laughs, “Didn’t you say you want that child dead?”
“Not that way!!” She defends herself.
“Don’t worry, I might as well kill him with my gun together with his stupid father.” He answers with his grin.
“The child is not involved in this!” She screams at him in horror.
"You know, you are brave to be yelling at me.” He chuckles humorlessly as he stares at her without pity. “Right now, you are nothing. You don’t even have any money left if it isn’t for Hugo? You have nothing. Zero. Nada.”
She grits her teeth as she stares at him angrily. He continues, “I even wonder how you're paying your debts. I wonder if you're still paying all of it when you're not offered with projects anymore. Does Hugo even know that you are fucking broke? I wonder where you get your money from when you don't even have much money in your bank account."
