Page 70 of Sinning for Santa

I’m outside your building, Jaxcen. Let me in or I’ll have to call your father.

Fucking hell, this arsehole is a piece of work.

Sure, I’ve been a prick to Jaxcen, but I’m just messing with her to keep her off the scent that I’m actually trying to help. This motherfucker is a legit cockhead.

Opening the call app, I see nineteen missed calls from a few different numbers, and eight voicemails.

Well, now I need to hear this fucker’s voice.

Message Received from: Eddie

“Good morning, Jaxcen. I’m a little surprised that I’m having to make this call. It’s quite an inconvenience, as I’m sure you already know, so I don’t know why you’re behaving like this. The rules haven’t changed. You call me every morning at nine, yet it’s just ticked over to eleven. I’m looking forward to hearing what has you so busy that you can’t call your fiancé.”

Message Received from: Eddie

“Jaxcen, I’m not sure why you are doing this. Have you been watching those disgusting videos online again? You know how corrupting they are, Jaxcen. I hope you haven’t relapsed. I don’t think Father Peters will be happy to hear that. In fact, perhaps we should discuss your behaviour with your father. I don’t want to resort to that, but I will if you don’t call me back soon.”

MessageReceived from: Eddie

“Do you not understand the concept of what soon is Jaxcen? I’m so disgusted with how you are treating me. This isn’t the behaviour of a dutiful wife. This is immature childish behaviour that requires strict punishment. I’m coming over.”

Message Received from: Eddie

“Stop ignoring me, Jaxcen. I know you can hear the buzzer, and since you aren’t at work you must be there. That’s it. I’m calling your father.”

Message Received from: Dad

“Jaxcen, it’s your father. Edward called, and I must say, I am shocked with your behaviour. I raised you to be better than this. If you don’t call him or me in the next thirty minutes, I will have to involve Dr Xavier.”

Message Received from: Mum

“Jaxcen darling, it’s your mother. Your father told me what’s happening. Please stop misbehaving. This isn’t acceptable. You’re about to be married, sweetheart. You can’t treat your future husband like this. And those explicit websites… Oh Jaxcen. Why would you look at them? Edward sent your father the links. Why would you watch such depravedbehaviour? Are you taking drugs? That has to be it. Oh dear. We’ll have to call Dr Xavier.”

Message Received from: Presley

“Jax, what the fuck? The olds are freaking the fuck out and are on the phone to that psycho doctor they sent you to when you were little. You know I don’t care what you do, hell, I fucking love porn, but don’t let them get their clutches into you again. I can’t bear to see them kill your spark. Not again. Not ever.

“I will try to stall them on my end, but pack a bag and go somewhere. Anywhere they can’t find you. Don’t use your bank card. If they involve the cops they can track that.

“Shit, Jax. I love you, sis. Please stay safe.”

Message Received from: Unknown Number

“Hello, Jaxcen, this is Doctor Alfred Xavier. I treated you at the Holly River Estate when you were younger. Do you remember?

“I was shocked to receive a call from your father. He is extremely distressed. I know I don’t have to remind you how hard it will be to return to the facility, especially as an adult. Our adult program is much more intense, but perhaps something you will benefit from. We have merged with a church, and together we do God’s work to help our patients. I think this will be of great benefit to you before your wedding. Please call me back. Otherwise, I’ll likely show up tomorrow with a community treatment order.”

What the actual fuck.

Not only is Eddie a cockhead, but her parents are fucking freaks. They are treating her like a leper. Like she’s the one doing something wrong, when her fiancé doesn’t even know what’s going on.

She’s been kidnapped, you fuckhead! Instead of blaming her, you should be looking for her. You should be concerned for her safety, not making it all about you.

What the fuck does he think she’s doing? Sitting in her apartment masturbating all day.

Fuck, she probably should if she’s going to marry that sap.

I’m fucking furious, not just at what I’m discovering but that Jaxcen actually thinks I’m the type of monster that would force women to marry me and be my sex slaves.
