History repeats

It’s the same man who beat me while I was kidnapped in Alabama! Ronny, or Raymond... no... Ralph! That was his name.

“God, no please no! I’ll give you money, whatever you want, just let me go!”

He laughs bitterly.

“Did you miss me, plaything? Or do you need me to remind you who I am?”

I shake my head no, and try to keep a brave face.

“I don’t think it’s wise to kidnap the wife of the man who broke your ribs and your arm. For everyone’s sake, just let me go.” his arm looks like its healed unfortunately.

Then like someone turning off a light switch, his fist collides with my face and all I see is darkness.

Ace POV:

“Hansel, maybe you should be a little more open to her, and explain what happened,” Clara tells me softly. I told her about my dream and she couldn’t believe it.
