“Good, shut the fuck up if you want to get out of here alive!” Monica? But what was she doing her-, “Aahh!” I screamed painfully as the tight and strong chained were uglily ripped off my legs, given them the freedom they had been craving for a long time. Was she...was she? “Quick, put this on. It would camouflage you!” She hastily whispered handing me a black hoodie and a dress, at least that was what I thought with the feel of the fabric and patterns through my hands. “Dammit! Could you get moving! We don’t have all night, unless you want to get caught, that is!” She startled me, causing a subtle amount of adrenaline to spike through my body With that been said, I let my feet feel the lush carpet getting the feel of using my legs after a long while. I wobbled as I tried standing up but was quickly caught by Monica before she pulled down the dress leaving me to get on the hoodie by myself. “Here, you need this if you truly want to get out of here!” I was confused at first, the c
Hayden’s Pov “Drive faster Dammit!” I roared at my driver, completely agitated as my best tracker; Aiden, fired up on his computer trying to assess the location of her whereabout using the tracking chip that I had installed in her when she was still unconscious. “But sir, am alread-” My driver who is one of the best if NOT the BEST, tried to argue back, which flared me up more as I shot him a dirty look boring a hole deep into his head. He went mute, his lips sealed into a straight line. If he wasn’t among the best, I would have blown his brains off. "Any news?" I asked, my eyes directly trained at Aiden. As if sensing my gaze, he turned to face me, his face boring sad news. "I am sorry boss,the signal is so low I cannot pinpoint its exact location but; Hold on!" He hollered, his eyes churning as he robotically continued to tap at his computer. After a minute, his fingers stop, his face flustered as he turned the computer's direction to me. "The train station!" I bore the same
“No!” I screamed as my eyes fluttered open frantically. My entire body was moist with sweat, my heart skipping beats, I was scared it was going to lead to a heart attack. Realising that it was just a horrible nightmare, I let out a sigh of relief, taking deep breaths in to calm down my racing heart. Slowly, the adrenaline spike got pumped out of my blood veins and eventually my heart rate came down to a normal pace. It was then that I became aware of my surroundings. It felt like decades had passed when the memories of my kidnapping; the train station, those men, the security guard, all started replaying in my head like an old chaotic film. ‘Ahh!’ I shot up quickly, from the ground, horror clouding my eyes when I took in the dark and rustic room. The air was musty, and dust filled. It was very dim lit too with the only source of light coming from the tiny window located at the corner of the wall, with grills covering it reminding me of the jail that I was in. My hands and feet were
“Well, Well...well,looks like you two have finally met. The chloroform was not that strong after all.” A rich and harmonious voice graced my ears, with it vibrating at the end as it closed the distance that was between us. The sound was so well spoken and warm, if I didn’t know any better, I would have been entranced by it, hoping to crawl towards it for warmth. However, I could also sense the extensive cold undertones, tones that were so sinister yet hidden carefully within that soothing voice. I do not know why, but suddenly my heart was running a mile. It felt like, at any moment, it would burst from my chest. My body had also gone cold, seemingly the blood that was running in my veins had been wiped dry. The air also felt sinister, it was as though the devil himself had joined us. My head ambivalently shifted towards the frame of the man that had just made his presence, wondering whether it was wise letting him see my fear. What met me, the moment my eyes reached his eyes, was
When, they came back, not a minute later, the worlds had turned. Hayden was no longer the one in restraints, instead, Lorenzo was, and he was laughing! “Well done! Well done son! Just like how I taught you! Never let them know your next move!” He congratulated, smiling ... proudly? The men in the room had also been replaced, basing my judgement on the unfamiliar faces. “Where had the others ran too?” I inquired myself, blinking my eyes several times to get used to the new found light. It was not after a minute, that my eyes caught on to the lifeless bodies, lying on the floor with a hole on their heads. One who was next to me, had his eyes wide open, but they looked lifeless. I screamed at the horror before my eyes, my heart skipping beats. I felt like vomiting, as the acrid metallic smell of blood and death was too much too handle. I could feel the two pairs of dark eyes, molesting me, with a click of disdain following me. “She doesn’t know who you are, does she?” I could hear Lor
His men were all stoic, showing no sign of emotions on their faces as they guided me to who God knows where. I keenly took in all the doors and corners of the hallways, hoping that I would eventually get a chance to gain my freedom back. However, that felt like a dream, considering the hasty pace the men were walking. In a jiffy, I was being pushed inside a room that looked similar to where I had been imprisoned before but much smaller. The other ten? If I had counted properly went ahead to surround all the corners of the damned small room, making it seem much smaller that it was already. The others remained outside. Holy molly! How was I going to get out of here, if the security was this tight! Ryan, who I presumed was their boss now, went ahead, perusing and scrutinizing every corner and invisible dust speck, before nodding his head satisfactorily. I guessed that this was where we would be staying for the night. The atmosphere was silent among us. Not a word, not even a buzz of a
In the hazy realm between wakefulness and sleep, I could hear loud creaks from a distance. I found myself drifting like a passenger in a moving vehicle, the sensation of motion pulling me further away from consciousness as if journeying to some distant destination. To where, I do not know. I slowly woke up, feeling groggy, only to find myself sitting on a man's lap. Startled, I let out a loud scream and fell backward onto the floor. My heart raced with confusion and fear. "Shh... Calm down my love, you are safe now" I heard a voice say softly, pulling me out of the so-called fog of thought. Cold but hard hands patted me softly on my head pulling me back up, in turn I could feel my nerves unwinding. “Hayden?” I softly called out meeting his beautiful green eyes. They were lowered, watching me attentively and concerned. His eyelashes formed a curtain over them, partially hiding the mesmerizing shade of green. If only he could fall back lower. I thought to myself, then I would get a
The air hung heavy with palpable discomfort. Each passing second, felt like it had stretched to an eternity. I pulled my dress further down as if it wasn’t low enough already. I refused to stare back at Lillie's eyes. I did not want to see the betrayal in them. The ground was interesting enough for me. “Hey, how did you know I would be here?” Hayden broke the silence as he went ahead to embrace his daughter. “Collins told me,” Lillie answered, distractedly as I felt her blue orbs pierce through me. “He shouldn’t have done that. That was a dangerous mistake after he knew what this night was abou-” “I know,” Lillie cut him off, “I was the one who insisted. I wanted to come and comfort you!” Her blue eyes were back to me, questioning me. “How long had this been going on?” Lillie asked, the question directed at me. I pulled my eyes away from the ground as I returned back her stare. Oh my God! I had hurt her. Her eyes were teary, as she looked at me in betrayal. “Lillie, I swear-”
