I hope you all enjoyed this story as I have enjoyed writing it!
Book Two.Linda’s POVI was walking down the stairs of my very luxurious house in china. Alone in there so it was quiet, except for the sounds of the birds chirping and some normal day to day noises.Chris had gone to work at one of his companies and since we got married, although everything has not been perfect, he has been one heck of a husband.I love him so much and although sometimes my stupid mind still tortures me of what it could have been like if I had never caught my brother with my ex, I would never want to be with anybody else.How would it have been? Maybe beautiful…but also, maybe awfully like hell.I began to hum a tone when I reached down the stairs. I’m someone who likes to be alone but recently I have been home alone during the day most of the time.I don’t work anymore because Chris makes a whole lot of money and I graduated from university last month.I should be working, my parents wanted it to be like that, but oh Chris, he said that that was never going to happ
Today is the day, the day that would change my entire life. I would no longer be a single lady, but a married one; and the best part is that I am not being forced into a contract marriage like my sister was in last year so our company could be saved from bankruptcy. Luckily for her, the man she got married to is actually a good one, they eventually fell in love with each other and have a beautiful daughter. She got a happy ending, one that she deserves, and I couldn’t be happier.I have been waiting for my own happy ending and it came knocking at my door a month ago when Mitch, my boyfriend, proposed to me. It was on my birthday at a very expensive restaurant. It was magical and way too perfect. The ring is huge and I can bet my life that it costs a fortune.I still can not believe that I would be marrying the love of my life, the man that makes my knees buckle, and makes me smile so much that my cheeks hurt. My family loves him, and we have been dating for six years. “Linda, the ca
This is not happening, someone please tell me that this isn’t happening! I had so many outcomes in my mind of how today could have gone, but not like this.“Oh, crap,” Mitch says when he sees the tears falling freely from my eyes.“Look, baby, let me explain,” He forces a laugh as he tries to touch me, but I step backward.My brother, Ben, looks incredibly embarrassed, and that’s funny because I am one who has hundreds of guests out there waiting for a wedding to go on. “I-I don’t understand,” I say truthfully and my chest rises and falls faster than normal. Too many thoughts are going through my mind, and my heart feels like a knife has been stabbed deeply into it.“This was nothing, we were just playing around. Right, Ben?” He looks to my brother, waiting for him to be backed up. Ben finally lifts his head up and looks at Mitch with annoyance.“No, Mitch, we were f*ucking,” He replies to him and I inhale sharply.“Oh now you want to be honest, huh? You’re a freaking hypocrite,” Mit
Beep, Beep, Beep.The steady beeping of the heart monitor is all I hear as my eyes open slowly. Everything seems blurry at first, and then my vision starts to clear. I don’t know exactly how to explain how I am feeling right now, but all I can say is that I feel pain mixed with numbness.I try to sit up by supporting my body weight on my arms, but someone stops me from doing so.“I don’t think you should be doing that,” The man says and I listen to him as I watch him. I lay back on the bed, following the advice of this complete stranger.I stare at him, trying to see whether I can recognize him, but unfortunately, I can not. I don’t know him, but why then is he here?“Where am I?” I ask the man as I look around the room I am in. The bed feels comfortable but the medical tubes that are connected to me are what isn’t.“You don’t remember?” He asks and I squint my eyes.I wish that I didn’t remember, I wish I had forgotten the whole day, or maybe my whole life, that would have been the o
Three days after and we are officially in China, this is my first time being here and I am beyond impressed. Why did no one tell me that this country is like twenty years into the future? It all looks so futuristic.Right now I am in a very huge room that is twice the size of my room in the United States, Chris was not joking when he said he was the CEO of two companies. He calls this a house, but I call this a freaking mansion!“This show again?” Chris walks into the room shirtless and wearing grey sweatpants. He looks like a greek god and I can never get tired of looking at him shirtless, not like I would ever say that to his face.“Yeah, it is a great show, I really like it,” I tell him as I try to focus on the large flat-screen TV on the wall instead of his chest.“Yeah, she used to like it too,” He says and I take the remote control from on the bed next to me and I reduce the volume. This “she” he is referring to must be really important to him, I saw how serious and somber he go
“Am I being kidnapped?” I ask as my voice trembles in fear. The short-haired lady chuckles, and then I feel something sharp poke into my arm. Before I can react, sleep overtakes me. All the muscles in my body become weak and my eyelids are now extremely heavy.“Nighty Night,” I hear one of the women say and I fall unconscious.***Chris Kingston’s POV***I place the bottle of liquor to my lips and I gulp down the last of the content. This is actually my first time drinking this kind of specific liquor, I hate it. I know the name of it because it's my best friend’s favorite. It’s the one that gets him to tell me the name of all the women he has slept with in alphabetical order.That’s how strong it is.His name is Eric Lance and he is a real party person. His whole life is a party in his eyes, he takes nothing seriously and is the complete opposite of me, but I love him. He brings balance to my life. Although I absolutely hate this liquor, I ordered it because I want to torture myself.
***Linda Wells’ POV*** My eyes open slowly and memories begin to flood my mind. I have been kidnapped and I have no idea where I’m at. I was at Chris’ mansion one minute after he was done talking to me about his wife, and the next, two women broke into the room and I was injected with a drug that knocked me out. “Good, you’re awake. I thought I made the dose too strong and you were already dead,” I hear someone say, and their voice startles me. I am on a soft bed, and the room I am in looks nothing like a room a hostage should be in. It’s very lovely. I am not bounded in any way, my hands are not tied or cuffed, nor are my legs. “Where am I?” I ask as I sit up on the incredibly comfortable bed. All the beds I have encountered here in China have blown my mind, their quality is just amazing. Now that I am in an upright position on the bed, I can now see the person that was talking. It is one of the women that kidnapped me. She looks completely normal compared to when I saw her at
“Wait, is this a prank? Did Chris put you all up to do this?” I ask loudly, chuckling lightly as I study the facial expressions of the people in this beautiful room. The entire ceiling is a painting, and the walls look like they were painted with gold and diamonds. The air smells like lavender, and the floor is so smooth that it mimics a mirror. I can literally see my reflection in it.“Linda, you are our hostage. I sent my disciples to kidnap you because I needed Mr. Kingston to pay his debts. He has forty-eight hours to do so, or I would have to take some drastic measures,” The lady with the veil stands to her feet as she explains.“Seems a bit made up, considering that Chris is a billionaire and could pay you within a blink of an eye,” I reply to her. Sue scoffs in response, clearly amused by what I just said because she is giggling.“You have so much to catch up with, but I will not be the one to help you with that. Your boyfriend will,” The lady with the veil informs me.“Mitch?
