Chapter 3 3

My hands were sweating. My body was shaking badly. I hugged my knees tightly to stop the shiver. I heard footsteps coming from the opposite direction. It was increasing my heartbeat. I was afraid of getting caught by him. He would drag me again among his vicious people. He would do what he could not do before. His curt voice was still ringing in my ears. I didn't belong to him.

" Kid! " I heard. I knew this voice. I had heard it more than a thousand times. A smile broke on my lips

" Dad! " I shouted in joy and got out from under the big table.

I lifted my head and gazed at my father, " My baby! Are you hurt? " Dad asked me, running at me and he engulfed me.

" Thank God for sending my dad. " I whispered. I hadn't felt at ease in my life before. I sighed. I was feeling protected now.

He broke the hug and rested his hand on my temple, " You okay? Kid! " Dad asked.

I was smiling with tears. " Yes! Dad " I shook my head mixer with joy and still fear for his arrival, " You were on leave today. How did you know we would be here? " I asked him.

Gavy called me and told me the matter, " You girls are in trouble. How can I stay home? " Dad said. He tried to smile in an attempt to push away my fear.

My mind travelled to them. They were out of his reach. It was troubling me as I wasn't known to it, " Rose and Mini. " I asked.

" They are safe in the car." Dad smiled at me. " Let's get out of here. " My Dad was holding my wrist so tightly as he was scared to lose his daughter. He was leading me out.

" You Rascal! I told everyone not to touch her." That crude tone came from behind me. It fully scared me. It jolted me. I felt goosebumps on my neck.

We turned to see. I knew from his heavy voice it was him, the monster. But before I could turn, gunshots started to pierce my ears. His three men died in a second. I saw Gavy Uncle (Rose's father) in his police uniform.

" Take the kids home, Money," he said to my dad. We were surrounded by his men. I wasn't getting any way to escape except jumping through the balcony. I clenched to my father's arm.

" Please, take our daughters away from here. I'll help Gavy here. " My dad said to Vinny uncle ( father of Mini. )

After several gunshots, It was dead silent, making me more jittery.

Within seconds, we're surrounded by his ugly men again. They're filthy and all bad looking. The monster was standing in front of Gavy uncle. His dark eyes roamed on me. My father removed my hand from his arm and positioned himself between him and me. I looked around and we were some feet away from the staircase and the elevator. I heard the loudest ears piercing gunshots continuously. I snapped my eyes in front of me. They were standing in suits with a gentlemanly look. Their guns were pointed at my dad and uncles now. Somehow, My kidnapper escaped from this gunshot. It happened so suddenly, I couldn't comprehend anything. He pushed himself into the elevator. These gunmen were looking as they came from a business conference. My eyes laid on their Headmaster. His amber eyes were staring at me. I returned his stare. He was attractive, good looking, sharp-featured, amber eyes and dark brown hair, Rolex on his wrist. There were two cuts on his left eyebrow. He stepped toward me. My dad and uncles moved at his men's gunpoint away from me. I stepped back and hit the railing.

" Let her go. " I heard from my father.

I instantly strode ahead with fear of falling. He was inches away from me. I blinked, staring into his beautiful eyes. There was a slight smile on his face. He put his hand around my waist. He had a strong grip. He took me near the balcony's railing and jumped from it with me. My eyes widened. The whooshed through my ears. I gave an ear-piercing scream. We fell on the longest and broadest sheet. My heartbeat was drumming in my ears as I stared at his handsome face. It was in my throat. The men in suits picked me up carefully, as I was some breakable stuff. They carried me, following amber eyes. I was glowering at his back and my body was feeling numb.

They brought me into a gigantic room. It had a white marble floor and white painted roof and light red walls. I was made to sit on a soft chair. My legs were still trembling with the effort from the jump from so high. This room was full of men holding guns. Amber-eyed was peering at the wall, his back was on me. His lower back was touching the edge of the wooden table. It was a feeling as I have come here to see his perfect photoshoot.

" Did he say anything to you? " His man asked me. He was a little bit short from amber eyes. His eyes were shading amber but not like him. He has a cute face. I kept silent because I was scared of what they would do with me. Monster's threats were still fresh in my mind. They were also the same. The difference is that they were wrapped in precious wraps.

" Yes, he said he will marry her. " The man next to him replied. He was in his mid-forty. It sent a shiver deep down me. His words echoed in my mind, ' my future wife. ' I close my eyes tightly.

" Do you wanna marry him?" The same cute man asked me. I open my eyes. I was thinking, what compelled him to be with such people. He could choose another professional.

" Are you insane? " I snapped.

" At what cost? " The first time Amber eyed spoke. His voice was holding command and some kind of spell. It felt so smooth. I could hear him the whole day with a smile.

" Boss means to say. You will do anything to save yourself from him. '' his man ( mid-forty) asked.

" Yes, I will. " I told him, staring at him.

'Why are they interrogating me?' My gaze was confused on them.

His men took their hands back and came out with guns. They pointed at me. What was that for?

" Get marriage papers ready, Tann, " Amber eyed said to his one man, who was looking at his second hand, who was asking me questions, I guess. He was looking younger than amber-eyed, but less muscular and less handsome compared to that Amber one.

It shocked me, I was glaring at him, ' Is he or one of his men? Is he sending me back to him? To my kidnapper so the monster could marry me. '

I tried to stand up but guns pinned me on the chair. I heard the loud noise of a helicopter. Amber eyed took long treads. He wrapped his hand around my wrist. He dragged me with him, his long strides were not matching my small steps in heels. I was pulling back with full force. I couldn't struggle with his muscular and well-built body. My pencil heels were making it more difficult. He turned to look at me. " I wanna go home. Let me go. " I struggled.

He whirled back to look at me. He scooped me up in his arms and got in the elevator. I silenced with wide eyes. He was stronger than I was thinking him to be. I tried to push him. He had well-made himself in the gym. It dinged open on the roof. He moved toward the helicopter. Its wings made my hair dance in the air. I kept my head near his shoulder, " Please, let me go. My family will be waiting for me. " I said in my cracked voice.

He got me in his helicopter. He hurtled me on the next seat to him. I squealed. I had never been in a helicopter before. I tried to open it but with a lack of knowledge. I couldn't open it. Otherwise, I would not mind jumping from a flying helicopter without a parachute. I attempted until it was again ready to land. He didn't try to stop me nor gaze at me once.

It took five minutes to reach the destiny decided by him. The helicopter landed on another building's roof. He held my hand again and took me to the building. I hadn't seen such places in real life but rich royal movies. There was white paint on all the walls. I could see men in black suits with ten feet of distance as protecting the path. He halted, approaching in a room. Advocates were standing in front of us. I darted my eyes around. I couldn't see the monster anywhere. Amber-eyed signed the papers, "Sign it." He ordered me.

It stunned me. Why did he want me to do it? Why did he sign it? He said to prepare the marriage papers to his man for him, " No way." I snapped and turned to run away. His bulky goons were already behind me with their guns, " You can't force me. " I hardly whispered.

Tann showed me a laptop with a video running on the screen. It widened my eyes and froze my body. Tears welled in my eyes. More than ten guns were pointed at Rose and Mini by his armed men.

" Kill her father and her friends, indeed everyone who belongs to her," Tann said.

" No. '' I shouted. Tears escaped from my eyes. I picked up the pen from the table with trembling hand and signed the papers immediately. I could read only the main letters in it which were written with black ink and thick letters. I had read only one word.

' MARRIAGE '

" Release them. " Tann said.

I didn't remove my sight from it. I watched them moving away on the screen. Rose drove away from them with Mini. It soothed some of my tension.

" Follow me, your room is this way. '' Tann said to me. There was no other way, but only to agree on it. This building was full of guards. No way to escape.

I looked at amber-eyed. His back was on me. I walked behind him. We went to the elevator. Amber eyed was standing ahead of me. I was glaring at elevator buttons. It was a fifteen-storey building. The elevator stopped on the tenth floor. My heart was also drumming in fear. A big hall appeared in view. It was beautifully decorated but simple. I stepped out of it. I was biting my tongue to control my tears. I could guess what he was planning to do with me after marriage. I had two options, kill him or kill myself. I ran my gaze in the hall. I didn't find anything which could help me. He and Tann stopped near a door, it was secured by pin code. I watched them carefully. No, it was secured by an eye scanner. God was also not helping me here. Indeed no one could. I had to help myself. It scanned his amber eyes and the door slid open. Tann beckoned me to go in. I gazed at amber-eyed. He didn't bother to glance at me. I sighted back. His men in suits with guns were staring straight, finger on the trigger. I stepped in. It was beyond beautiful. Everything, furniture was of dark coffee colors and was imported in this hall but had the same white walls and marble floor. It was hell in heaven shape. My eyes fell on a fruit basket. A knife was lying on it. It was two steps away from me. I took two long strides and hurriedly picked the knife from it. Before I could do anything. I felt a strong and heavy hand on my lower back. He twirled me energetically. He gripped my wrist and twisted it behind my back. I squealed with pain and the knife fell from my grip.

" Please don't do this. Let me go home. " I sobbed. I could not control my tears. They flooded out of my eyes.

" This is your permanent home now. " Tann said who was standing two steps behind him.

" I will kill you or kill me. If you dare to do anything to me." I angrily said but I calmed myself, " Please, I wanna go home. " I annoyed and cried.

Amber eyed wickedly smiled. It was an adorable smile if I ignored his intention behind it. He must have attracted many girls or he must have kidnapped them like me. He tightened his grip. I put my hand on his stomach to push him away from me. I felt his six-packed muscular body under my touch. I knew I could not win from him. I knew it would be easy for him. But I would not lose my heart. I was in my high heels. He was six feet tall. I was five four and reaching to his nose in heels. My eyes fell on his collarbones. His three buttons were unfastened. His skin was tanned there. I drew myself closer. I strongly bit him on his shoulder. I tasted salt, it was his blood. But he didn't try to parry me or pull away. I astonishingly backed my step from him. He touched my lips with his thumb. I saw crimson on it, his blood. He rubbed it between his finger and thumb. He glared at me with his amber eyes, he wasn't looking in rage. There was dark humour gleaming in his eyes. He put his second hand on my nape and came closer to me. I protested, but under his strong touch, I couldn't move. He kissed me. I pulled back but he didn't allow me. I hit him on his chest with my hand. He softly kissed me and broke it instantly.

" Let go of me, please. Please, I wanna go home. Don't do this to me. It will kill me. Please let me go home. " I pleaded to him with sobs.

He picked me up. My heart started to sink. I was feeling fear. His man opened the door.

He's going to rape me. I yanked him away and tried to hit him. He dodged it easily.

" No, please! No! " I screamed and pushed him away with both hands.

He threw me on the mattress and went out of it. I heard the click of locking it. I gathered myself up. I hugged my knees. I was scared he would come at any time and raped me. I didn't close my eyes. I kept them wide open and didn't move in fear. Dread was clawing me from time to time. To distract me, I roamed my misty eyes on the walls. There wasn't much about it. It has a white wall and the same coffee dark furniture. There was a regal touch in everything.

A few minutes later, I heard the click of the door opening. I listened to my own feeble scream.

" Your food. " Tann said. He put the tray on the mattress across from me. He went back and locked the door behind him. I didn't touch the food. My appetite had been killed. My eyes were getting heavy but I couldn't sleep. In fact, I didn't wanna sleep, I was afraid of his actions. I was feeling sleepy. I didn't see any females in this building. My dad mostly turned on the news channel. I know all the criminals' ways. There was a glass of water in the tray. I gripped it in my hand and poured it on my face. It helped me to not feel sleepy. I glanced at my feet. My heels were still there. I removed them and put them on the marble floor.

There was relief that my cousins are safe and away from his grip. I don't know what my family would be thinking about me. Will they be finding me? Most twisting, will they be able to get me away from his place? My thoughts were mostly occupied with my family. It was making my eyes tear. My brain was on alert all the time.
