Chapter 8 Kidnapped (The contract)

Veronica's POV

A force pressed my breath fiercely, holding me with all his strength. I could tell that it was a man. As I struggled, some other men came inside to help him.

And before I knew what was happening, one of them hit me severely, and that knocked me out of this world.

I was unconscious.

Many hours later.

'Splash!' A dirty, cold water was poured on me, which drenched my clothes and woke me up hurriedly. My eyes rolled rapidly within their sockets while I gazed around hurriedly.

Wanting to stand on my feet, I realized I was tied. Both my feet and hands.

Standing before me was a fierce man; he had a deep cut on his left cheek, and he put on a weird regalia.

After some seconds, another person walked into the room. I could tell they were subordinates.

"The boss is around. Wash her up and give her dry clothes." He said to him,

"Okay."

I was picked up and dragged by them. Stripped naked by those men and then washed by them.

When they were done, I was handed another cloth. "Make sure you dress elegantly with this cloth." One of them ordered.

Fear muddled my heart. 'Why am I dressing up? And who am I looking elegant for?' I thought in my head. While I was in the midst of confusion, I think they got the wrong person.

Just after dressing up and walking out of the room, a man was waiting outside.

"You look good. Please, follow me." He addressed me.

Without hesitation, I followed him, and I walked into an expensive Lamborghini car.

To my surprise, there was no person inside of it. Instead, the car was in auto-drive, and I realized it had self-locked itself.

There was no person to speak with.

After a while of driving, the car stopped, and a person opened the car. I stepped down, and to my surprise, I was in front of a mansion.

'What is happening?' I queried myself severally, but it was to no avail. However, I was brought in front of a man in a wheelchair.

"What is happening? I don't understand what am I doing here?" I spoke aloud.

"You don't need to panic. You will carry my seed, and for doing so, I will pay twenty million dollars once the test you do shows you are pregnant." He explained.

I was taken aback by his statement. "And what made you think I would be interested in such a thing?" I arched my eyebrows.

"Because you have no choice. You've signed a written agreement with me about it yesterday." Stating that, I shot a deadly glare at him.

"I don't remember signing any agreement with you," I expressed.

"You will remember now." He clapped his hand after saying that, and a white substance was blown into my face.

After one minute, memories of what happened yesterday came into my head. Indeed, I signed the contract. "But you forced me into signing the contract." I widened my eyes.

"No one will listen to your words. And if you do want to terminate the contract, you will have to pay me twenty million dollars." He spoke with an air of pride.

I gazed at him with annoyance. "This is not fair. How do you expect me to raise that money?"

"Well, that's up to you." He was silent.

I sighed. "Can I get out of here?" I asked him.

He lifted his eyes. "According to our agreement, you can't leave this premises until you are pregnant for me." He opened up.

"What the hell? You kidnapped me and tied me down with a contract. Who the hell does that?" I flexed my muscles, ready to fight my way out if possible.

He clapped his hand, and before I knew what was happening, I was thrown into a room.

Darwin's POV

I stepped into her office to see if I would see her. But what she said became reality. Indeed, she resigned.

I do not know the reason I felt very bad for letting her go. While I walked through her office, my phone started ringing, and I picked up.

"Hello, who am I unto?" I asked harshly.

"This is Martins. Have you seen Veronica today?" He asked.

And that raised my concern. "Not at all. I thought she was with you?" I said, knowing fully he employed her.

"No. She said she would resume today, and I haven't seen her." He informed me.

That was strange to me. "Have you tried calling her number?" I asked to be sure of my next move.

"Yes, and it has been switched off. I am getting worried." He replied to me.

"There is no need for that. I will look into the matter." I hung up, and at that moment, I did not know the reason why I became very worried.

I had to call my security operative. "Hello, Miss Veronica is not at her place of work. Look around for her and get back to me within thirty minutes." I ordered.

"Okay. We are on it."

I ended the call. For a reason I do not know, I was anticipating him to revert.

After thirty minutes, he called back. "Hello, she is nowhere to be found. Evidence that I found in her house shows she had been kidnapped."

"What?! Kidnapped! That's strange. Find out who kidnapped her immediately in under an hour." I spoke with an air of concern.

"Okay." I ended the call after that response.

Many hours later, I received a call, and I picked up at once. "Hello, did you find her?" I asked, having in mind to get a positive result.

"Negative, sir. There was no trace of her." He informed me.

For the second time after the terrible event that happened to me when I was still a child, my heart hit hard against my chest.

It got me thinking really hard, and the only person I thought could have done this is...
