Mia’s pov
The atmosphere suddenly became chilly and I felt goosebumps that were on my skin, something was off.
I could tell that the man in front of me had just obviously declared that this was a trap. Was that supposed to be a joke between them? Well, my curiosity was quenched in only a couple of seconds as the heftiest of all the men who had spoken a little before came closer but then stopped several inches away.
“If you knew it was a trap, why did you come?”
“I wasn’t sure of it yet and so I wanted to confirm it,” He murmured easily, and I was once again, feeling confused. Each time he was scolding on me, which was almost everytime, he always had a scowl on his face and irritation in his voice.
But, now that we had somehow walked into a trap that had been set on purpose, instead of him reacting angrily like I’d expect him to, he was doing the complete opposite.
Suddenly, I felt the hefty man’s eyes focus on me, and I felt like I was going to break out in a sweat even though the night was fairly cold.
And that was when my kidnapper spoke again.
“And why are you looking at my toy like that? I’m very sure that you have business with me and not her.”
Did he just call me a toy?
The hefty man’s eyes seem to immediately travel away from me and return to the blue eyes of my kidnapper, his jaw clenching up along the way and then he said.
“You know that I never wanted it to get to this, if you step down from your position peaceably, then we won’t have to go through this. I don’t want to have to hurt you,”
Before the man was even done talking, my kidnapper immediately flung his head back as his entire body immediately began to shake with laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in his entire life and could not handle it until his ribs cracked with laughter.
“You are afraid of hurting me?” He repeated with a look of incredulity on his face.
“… it seems like you overestimate your ability just a little bit Fernando,” He pointed out, and I imagined him sprouting one of his infamous smirks right now.
The bulky man just seemed to be getting more and more annoyed and I was becoming more scared because he immediately pointed out something that I did notice the moment I worked in.
“Oh, I know that I can never take you on any one-on-one fight, which is why I brought everyone working with me to this party tonight.”
My kidnapper’s reaction to this was to look through all the men like he was observing a bunch of cockroaches and then he bursted out into another round of laughter.
“Fernando, that is a very interesting way of seeing that you are a coward, but I like how shameless you are about it,”
He then brought out the gun from his pocket and I could feel all of the men immediately tense up.
“If you are going to stab me in the back like this after everything I’ve done for you, then at least you should have the dignity to fight me like a man, you know? But, I don’t really mind fighting your friends…”
The one he called Fernando looked at his accomplices and there was this flush of shame on his facial features, then after a few moments of contemplation, he told his men to bring out their guns and any weapon that was with them and so they dropped it on the floor and kick it away with their feet and my kidnapper did the same.
However it seemed to make very little difference to me, he was still heavily outnumbered and these bulky men looked as if they ate glass for breakfast, how was my kidnapper supposed to fight them and protect me at the same time?
He turned to me, and then said in a brief, casual tone.
“Try not to get smashed like a pancake it will be very inconvenient for me,”
I was just staring at his numbly with my heart sitting in my throat.
Was he saying that I would have to protect myself? I wasn’t sure about what he was implying but I felt a feeling of terror wash over me in that moment, right as my kidnapper took his spot before the bulky men.
I hated my kidnapper so much, but that doesn’t mean I wanted him to die here tonight, seeing as for one, should he die here tonight, my life was only get worse than it already is because these men were definitely going to claim me as theirs.
Bike rose in my throat at that thought and I let out a terrified scream when one of the shortest members hurled himself towards my kidnapper without warning.
I instantly clamped my eyes close and in the next second the first thing I heard was the crunching of bones and then a scream that came out of somebody’s throat like a wounded animal.
When I hesitantly opened my eyes, I found the short man with his right hand twisted in a direction that I’m sure it was never meant to go to, and that’s the color of his arm was starting to change too. I ooked at the back of my kidnapper who was casually cracking his knuckles as if that was nothing more than a little warm-up.
“Well, I don’t have all night. Are you guys coming or not?”
All of the men have fear starkly painted across their faces but the leader of them, Fernando encouraged them with their numbers.
“Don’t worry about it, he’s still like I remembered. There’s no way he can take all of you at the same time,”
So then the men immediately rushed forward at once, with screams in their throats and aggression in their eyes, and this time I kept my eyes open even though something inside of me was begging me to keep them closed, but even though they were open I couldn’t understand what was happening. My kidnapper’s hands were too fast for me to keep up with, and so deadly as well.
Before any of the men could even manage to land a single blow on him he had already grabbed them and twisted their bones or just straight-up broken them with his fist as if they were made of jelly.
One of the men was thrown in my direction and I screamed as I instantly held his broken arm tightly, not wanting him to get any ideas of trying to hurt me, but that was until I felt the surface of cold metal pressed against my skin and someone’s voice said.
“If you move, I’ll shoot you,”
