Chapter 6 - The Unwanted Guest
For three agonizing days, Emma was trapped.
Catered food was delivered twice a day through a small, automated service elevator, but she saw absolutely no one. The penthouse was heavily soundproofed, and the windows were thick, unbreakable safety glass. She banged on the heavy mahogany door, screaming for help, but her voice was completely swallowed by the massive, empty corporate tower.
On the evening of the third day, the magnetic lock on the front door finally clicked open.
Emma scrambled backward, terrified, as Vincent walked into the penthouse. He was wearing his sharp black suit, looking completely calm and untouchable. He was followed by a tall, intimidating older man carrying a leather briefcase.
"What are you doing?!" Emma shrieked, clutching a heavy brass lamp she had grabbed to defend herself. "Let me out of here! I'm calling the police!"
"You aren't calling anyone, Emma," Vincent sighed, casually pouring himself a drink at the wet bar. "And you don't need to be so dramatic. You have access to a massive television and an indoor pool. You should be thanking me."
"Thanking you?!" Emma yelled, trembling violently. "You kidnapped me!"

Vincent took a slow sip of his drink. He looked at the older man with the briefcase. "This is Arthur, the head of my legal department. He has a few more documents for you to sign."
