Felix found himself disoriented, waking up in a room unfamiliar to his senses. Tied to the bed, his heart pounded with fear as he tried to make sense of his surroundings.

The room bore traces of Rosemary, his obsessive ex-girlfriend known for her unusual culinary tastes. He remembered her force-feeding him strange concoctions, but he never imagined she would imprison him.

"Felix, it's wonderful to see you awake!" Rosemary chimed in, her voice echoing in the room. Her presence only heightened his fear.

"Why am I tied up, Rosemary?" Felix asked, trying to mask his fear. He was unnerved by how pleased she seemed with the situation.

"It's for your own good, Felix. I deserve you, and you deserve me," she asserted, her tone disturbingly calm.

"You have no right to keep me here," Felix retorted. But his pleas fell on deaf ears.

Rosemary continued, "Felix, my dear, it's my fault you've gained so much weight. I slipped weight gainers into your food.” She caressed his belly, making him feel uncomfortable.

Felix felt his heart sink. Her twisted affection had led to his weight gain; she had been manipulating him all along. He felt a tear roll down his face.

"There, there, Felix. I'll take care of you," she cooed, wiping his tear away. She proceeded to force-feed him more of her strange concoctions.

Days turned into weeks. Each day, Felix woke up hoping to escape, only to find himself still trapped in Rosemary's lair.

One day, she asked, "Felix, can you still walk?" His heart pounded faster, realizing his mobility was even more compromised.

"No, Rosemary," he admitted, tears welling up in his eyes. The reality of his plight was setting in. "What are you going to do with me?"

She looked at him, her eyes cold. "You'll see, Felix. You'll see."

Meanwhile, Mark, Felix's current boyfriend and a keen problem solver, found it strange that Felix had disappeared without a trace. He knew that Felix was a bit self-conscious about his weight but he was a jovial guy who loved to help others.

Mark decided to pull on all his investigation skills. He spent hours trying to get clues about Felix's disappearance. He found Felix’s sudden weight gain puzzling.

Mark knew about Rosemary and Felix's tumultuous past and decided it was worth looking into. He reached out to Richard, an old friend with a gruff exterior but a heart of gold who might have some insights.

Richard, despite his grumpy demeanor, was more than happy to help. He didn't like Rosemary and found her obsession with Felix disturbing.

They started their investigation, venturing into unknown territories and drawing on every clue they could find about Rosemary. They hoped they were not too late.

Mark and Richard's investigation led them to Rosemary's secluded home. Realizing Felix might be in there, Mark's heart pounded in his chest. He was determined to find Felix.

They burst into the house, and there lay Felix, weak and tied up. Seeing his boyfriend in such a state, Mark's heart ached. He rushed to free Felix while Richard stood guard.

"We're here, Felix. You're safe now," Mark reassured him. Felix's tears of relief overwhelmed him as he struggled to sit upright.

Rosemary was nowhere to be found. Richard, taking one final look around the place, found a closet filled with uncanny culinary items. The reality of Rosemary's actions hit him hard.

As they took Felix to safety, Mark held Felix's hand and assured him that he would help him regain his health and strength. He felt a surge of protectiveness, promising himself never to let anyone harm Felix.

Felix, despite his weakened state, managed a smile. He was safe, and he was finally home. The nightmare was over.

Life returned to normal gradually. Felix, with Mark's help, started to regain his strength. His self-consciousness about his weight started to fade, replaced by a newfound confidence and love for himself.

As for Rosemary, she never resurfaced. She remained a chilling memory, a reminder of Felix's terrible ordeal. But with Mark by his side, Felix knew he could overcome anything.

Mark felt an odd satisfaction that his problem-solving skills had led to Felix's rescue. His love for Felix blossomed, and he held Felix closer, promising to keep him safe forever.

Richard, too, found a strange sense of peace. He may have been grumpy, but he had played a vital role in rescuing Felix, marking a new chapter in their friendship.

Felix resumed helping people move heavy things for a fee. His white shirt and overalls became his symbol of resilience and strength. His joy in serving others returned, stronger than before.

He no longer feared his past. Instead, he embraced it as a lesson. He was grateful for Mark's unwavering support and love that helped him reclaim his life.

Felix's tale was a story of survival and love. It echoed the power of friendship and marked his journey from captivity to freedom. Through it all, Felix found the strength to move forward and love again.
