Steph's P.O.V
My body was aching. Everything hurt. Even breathing became a struggle at one point. Looking around, I realize I'm in a different place. I was still in a dirty basement, but it wasn't the same one. They moved me. How convenient. I knew I shouldn't have eaten that food they gave me, but then again, hunger is a bitch.
I was tied to a chair. God how I miss Carter. His smile. His laugh. Everything about him I miss.
"Rise and shine Sleeping Beauty," a voice said "Now, I think it's about time you met me, again," the voice said
"Look, I don't know what you want, just please leave me alone," Goddamn did talking hurt a lot
"Ah, ah, ah. Is that an attitude I'm sensing?" he says, walking towards me
"Leave me alone you sicko!" I scream. Bam! Slapped across the face once again
"Now you listen to me little girl, I'm the one in charge here. Not you, me. So don't go raising that voice of yours at me because I'll make sure you don't have a voice by the time I'm done with you. Now, shut up and behave. Another one of my friends would like to say hi." he says
Not wanting to be hit anymore, I keep my mouth shut and wait for whoever else it was that wanted to say "hi".
"Liebling, what's with the face? Didn't you miss me?" the new voice says
Liebling? I've heard that before. It's German. The only person who ever called me that was...JAKE! No, it couldn't be. Actually yes, it could be. He was always an asshole, I wouldn't put it past him to kidnap someone.
"What do you want Jake?" I seethe
"Ah, so you do remember the name I had for you. Good. at least we know now that you have an excellent memory so you'll remember everything that is going to happen," he laughs, coming over to me to touch my cheek
"Don't touch me," I say, pulling away from his hand

"Still feisty, I like it," Jake says
The first man who has been doing all of the hitting comes over to me. And in the light, I can see his face. Timothy? Timothy Andrews? It's all making sense now. Because Carter and I realized what the Andrews were doing, we're the reason their company ended. So to get back at Carter, he takes me. Holt fuckin shit, what has my life turned to?
"So, Timothy because Carter and I end you and your dad's company, Anastasia because I'm the so-called reason she and Carter aren't together anymore and Jake because...well you were always an ass, so I guess that's a good enough reason," I say
Did you guess what happened next? Yea I got hit. Punched actually. Right in the stomach. Hurt like hell too.
"I'm here because you left me, left me with no valid reason," Jake says
"I left because you were an abusive asshole who only wanted sex. Not to mention you were always too high or too drunk to even care about anything that happened in my life. I was there for you whenever you needed me, but no you couldn't be there when I needed you. So yes, I left and I'm fucking happy I did," I spit
And yes, once again a punch. I think he broke one or two of my ribs this time because I heard a crack and breathing is harder than ever.
"Who do you think you're talking to you little whore?" he asks, grabbing my throat
"Enough!" Anastasia says. How lovely for her to show up. "Boss wants her alive," she says. And with that, she walks out
Then walked in yet another man. How lovely. Party in the basement everybody. The main attraction is me tonight.
"Ah, how we doing?" he says
"She still is giving an attitude," Timothy says
"Not to mention she's a bitch," Jake adds
"No worries, we'll get started real soon. We're just waiting for the guest of honor, so we can't kill her. Not yet anyway," the man says

Walking over to me, he pulls out a phone. He looked just like...LUCIFER! This is the guy my best friend is supposed to marry. No way in hell will I let her.
"Lucifer!" I say
"Ah, good memory indeed," he says
"How could you? How could you do this to Tara?" I ask
"Oh honey, Tara never meant much to me. As soon as I figured out who she really was, I was planning on taking the company from her. Of course, I wouldn't make it obvious it was me, but you know, accidents happen," he says with a smile. "And c'mon, Lucifer? Who the fuck names their kid Lucifer. My actual name is Joe Valente," he says
Wait, so this guy Lucifer, was actually your regular Joe Shmoe down the block? How fucked up is that?
"You'll never get away with this," I say
'Oh please, don't waste your breath," he replies
Not wanting to hurt myself anymore, I stop talking.
"Now, here's how this is going to work. You are going to call your best friend Tara. Tell her that it is important that she takes over her dad's company. To spice it up a little, tell her your life depends on it," he says
"She'll never do it," I spit
"We'll see," he says. Grabbing his phone he puts in tara's number and calls her
"Hey, baby. What's up?" she says
"Tara, it's me. Steph," I croak
"Oh my God! Luce found you. Baby I'm so proud of you, thank you for finding my best friend," she says happily.
"Tara, I need you to listen to me very carefully," I say
"Yea, what's up," she says. I can hear the concern in her voice
"Whatever you do, don't marry Lucifer. He isn't who he says he is. He's trying to take your dad's-," and with that Lucifer, or should I say, Joe, cut the call.
"You really shouldn't have done that," he says proceeding to hit me multiple times
By the time it was over, I had lost count on how many times he hit me. I was lightheaded and dizzy, and I had a hard time keeping my eyes open. Soon enough, I slipped into oblivion.
Tara's P.O.V
(Yes I'm back again bitches)
Now, let's recap a little, shall we?
I'm at home, doing my own thing when I get a call from Lucifer. Obviously I pick up. I could hear voices in the background, but he was probably at work so it was whatever. And then I hear the voice of my best friend.
"Tara, it's me. Steph," she croaks
"Holy fucking shit, she's alive!
"Oh my God! Luce found you. Baby, I'm so proud of you, thank you for finding my best friend," I say happily
"Tara, I need you to listen to me very carefully," I say
"Yea, what's up," I say, my voice full of concern. I could sense something was wrong, I just couldn't tell what it was.
"Whatever you do, don't marry Lucifer. He isn't who he says he is. He's trying to take your dad's-," she starts, and the line is cut dead. I try calling back but it kept going straight to voicemail.
I know that Steph didn't really like Luce, but I thought she was ok with the fact that we were getting married. And what was she trying to say about Lucifer trying to take over something of my dad's?
The most pressing question is,
Why does Lucifer know where Steph is and hasn't told Carter?
Carter said he would call as soon as he had Steph. But since Luce has her, why hasn't he called yet to say she was ok? Calling Brad, we try to piece it together, but none of it makes any sense.
Unless...No it couldn't be. Lucifer and Carter are friends. Not best friends, but they were friends. I try calling Carter, but he too doesn't pick up.
What the fuck is going on?
