Chapter 4

"What do you mean you can't let me leave?"

 The panic started the kick in again.

"Well it was brought to my atention that you're going to be leaving soon, and I can let that happen."

That was it, I was officially being held captive.Alone in a foreign country,far away from anything or anyone that could help me.

"You can't do that, people are gonna look for me."

He didn't seem to be bothered by what I was saying, He took a folder that was lying on the bed next to him when I didn't even notice before.

"Well it says here that you have been abandoned by your mother at the age of three,your father died of cancer,you just broke off your five year relationship. You graduated a year late, you don't have a job. Just a house in New York that is currently occupied by Erica Johnson."

He had all my information,oh my God what did I get myself into.

"Well Erica is going to look for me, once she doesn't get a word for me..."

"Well done it was a good idea to have my man sent her a text saying that you prolonge your vacation."

What the f*** is happening, this can’t be real. I think I even started hyperventilating.

"What do you want for me?"

"I don't know yet,that is the truth. But what I do know is that I can’t let you leave until I figure it out."

 I think what surprised me the most about this man was the fact that he could talk about such a topic in such a quiet domain. He looks so fragile lying in the enormous bed,yet I found his words to be quite menacing. Suddenly the door behind me opened, It was a woman wearing I uniform that I would normally say and butlers on TV shows, behind her the man who forcefully brought me here.

"Usted llamó señor." (You called sir.)

She said.

"Llévala a su habitación, dale algo de comer y envía a alguien a recoger sus pertenencias al hotel."(Take her to her room,get her something to eat and send someone to collect her belongings from the hotel.)

I understood he said something about the hotel.

"What about the hotel?"

"I'll send someone to collect your belongings, I'm bringing them here to you."

 I think I started losing my mind.

"You can't do that. Are you out of your f****** mind."

"You'd be surprised about how many things I can do just by slapping my last name at them."

"So what happens now?"  I asked that question with a great dose of fear.

"Right now you will be escorted to your room, I recommend you rest,you must be shaken up. I have some recovering to do as you well know,once I feel even a little bit better you and I are gonna get to know each other. But you don't have to be afraid no one is going to touch you, you have my word."

"A word of a kidnapper usually doesn't mean much."

He just looked at me with kind eyes.

"You will learn the value of my word."

 He gestured to the man behind me and once again I was being taken.I spent the night in what must be the most beautiful room that I have ever seen, yet I didn't sleep not even for a minute. I sat down by the window all night looking in the surroundings on the house. Watching as guards marched up-and-down the gardens.

 I've been like that the whole night, I watched the sunrise. I only stood up when I heard the doors unlock. It was the maid,she brought my suitcases and a tray with breakfast.I still had the one from yesterday's dinner,I didn't touch it.

 Once I was left alone I opened the suitcases, but any electrical device was removed. My tablet, my camera, they took my phone yesterday.

So I just took my teddy bear and find my spot next to the window and sat there again.I've been like that for the next two days, the only person that come into my room was the maid and she wouldn't say anything.

 Finally the third night I couldn't take it anymore, I got up and started banging on the doors, I yelled but to no use. No one was opening. I couldn't stand being locked up anymore I was going crazy, maybe it was from insomnia or the hunger but I went crazy. I started smashing everything I could get my hands on,the lamps ,the pictures,decorations,glass. For God's sake I took the bed apart. But no one seemed to care. I took a chair and drove it to the window but the window didn't break. Finally exhausted I picked up my teddy bear and sat next to the window again,the sleep got to me. In the morning the whole team of maids came into the room like the know the mess I made. One of them unlocked the door that lead to the balcony, she took my arm and guided me to sit on the balcony and placed in front of me a tray with pancakes and chocolate and a bowl of fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice. I just sat there hugging my teddy bear as they worked on room. All of a sudden I heard voices coming from underneath the balcony, I got up to take a look.

It was Alessandro, sitting on his terrace eating breakfast, talking to the man previusly hit. Seeing how purple was his nose I must have had a good swing.  Something got over me and I walked up to the table I took the tray and I launched it over the balcony. He looked up at me,  carefully got up from his chair and walked into the house. I presumed he was finally gonna come and talk to me, after beeing locked for three days.

He walked in,limping, his leg obviously hurt , taking in the mess I made before coming to me. Honestly I expect him to be mad, to be furious at me. Instead he cupped my face with his hands,his thumbs tracing over my cheeks.

"Don't f****** touch me." I used my force to push him away.

"I'm sorry you've been left here, I had a complication with my leg and was being taken to the hospital,I just got back."

"Do you think I f****** care about your leg, let me go."

I started feeling dizzy, my eyesight going blurry,before I could stedy myself I was falling unconscious in his arms.
