WHO REALLY KIDNAPPED ME?
” Wha.. what??” my eyes widened in fear. I don’t think I could fight back four guys. Even if Pearl is on her way, can she help me? She’s the only person I’m counting on. Before I could think of a way to escape, the guy behind me tied my hands tightly. He has a tight grip on my hands.
” Leave me. I didn’t do anything to you. I don’t even know you.” I shouted. It wasn’t a request but a demand which clearly isn’t working.
” Not happening, dear. You mean something to Ryder. If I want to get want I want from Ryder, you can be useful for it.” he said with a smirk and took his phone to call someone. Will it be Ryder? Will he come to save me? Or will it be too late?
” Don’t call him, Pate. He will come for her. It’s like playing with fire.” one guy behind gave him a suggestion. He’s playing with my life. I didn’t involve anything. Now I have no hope.
” You are damn right. Let’s call him after kidnapping and locked her up. I like to see his reaction at that time.” Patrick kept his phone inside his pocket. My hands are tightly tied up and I could do any better no matter how much I struggle. There’s no one else to help me.
” My friend will come here soon,” that was my last word I spoke. The guy behind me plastered my mouth with a tape. I can do nothing but moan and struggle.
Patrick laughed at that time. ” Do you think that girl will come? I was the one who stole her phone so I could get time to get you on our car. One of my guys will keep her busy until you come with us willingly or unwillingly.”
What the fuck did I do? Why does this stranger planning to hurt me for doing nothing to him.
I won’t come willingly even unwilling is the worst option. I noticed a car next to Patrick. He opened it and motioned his friends to get me inside. I didn’t move my feet. Instead, I kicked the guy’s feet with my heels. I never did that before but it turns out to be good. He cursed under his breath and stepped backwards out of control. But harming a single boy won’t do any good.
” Don’t make me harm you. Move those feet.” the other guy shouted and slapped me hard. Two of them made me enter the car unwillingly. They sat on either side of me. My hands hurt from the tight rope. I can’t believe no one’s here to help me.
Suddenly, a phone buzzed. It must be Patrick’s phone. He was calm for a minute and the next minute he kicked the side of his car in anger. When the call ended, he looked up at the guy who’s driving the car.
” Take her to our place. I will call Ryder later. I have some other work to do,” he informed and glanced at me.
” Unlike the last one, I don’t know what’s so special in this nerd. I wish I could finish you off before it goes to the next level. Meet you at my place, dear. Bye,” he had a wicked smile on his face and the car windows closed. I can’t understand what he talked a minute ago. But I couldn’t care about that. The two guys got the masks of their face and signed heavily.
Wow, we barely managed it. Great escape.” One guy said.
” Yeah, now off for our next job,” the other guy said, taking a knife from his pocket. I’m scared to the core. My heart is beating faster than anything. The next moment, he kept the knife on the guy who’s on the driver’s seat. What the hell is happening? This is confusing.
The driver guy got shocked and his driving it out of control. The car already reached the main road. An accident could happen at any time without a warning. I closed my eyes, praying not to die. I still want to live. I got a lot of things to do in this world. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. Oh, god. Please save me.
” Stop the car. I’m not going to kill unless you make me,” the guy with the knife ordered. The guy in the driving seat stopped the car at the edge of the room. No one really noticed the weird driving.
” Please, don’t kill me. I’m just a guy working for Patrick. I thought those who are working for him are loyal to him.” he stuttered as his eyes fixed on the knife.
” Yeah. But what if I said, I’m not working for Patrick. Now, drive us to this address. I will kill you if you tried to over smart me.” he ordered giving his phone. I don’t know who is really kidnapping me. You know what? I’m not even worth it.
” Stay still. We will kill you if you tried to do something.” the other guy warned me. I was too afraid to look at his face. I know I couldn’t fight back. After some minutes, the driver stopped in front of a small house. It almost looked like it’s haunted. The guy opened the car door and tried to get me out of it.
” Come on. Don’t make me slap you again. I’m already losing my temper,” He growled. I can rather stay in this car than getting caught in an unknown house. I wish I never came to shopping today. It costs my whole life. Losing all my hope, I stepped out. They both got me inside the house.
Finally, the guy knocked on a room’s door. I don’t know who am I expecting in this room. Someone I never have seen in my life. Any enemies of Ryder.
” Come inside,” I heard a voice from the other side. The guy opened the door.
” We bought her here. We easily escaped from Patrick’s suspicion,” he informed the guy in the room. I didn’t even look at him. I don’t want to get harmed again. I decided not to make eye contact. But then I heard a loud shout from the guy.
” What the fuck? Did I tell you to hurt her? You are useless. Have you been listening to my words or not? I fucking told you not to harm to her. Why the hell you tied her up?” I heard a familiar scolding from the guy. The same scolding I heard today morning. I looked up. Ryder Blake
” I’m sorry, Emily. I didn’t know they will tie you up.” Ryder worked on the ropes on my hands with regret.
” Bring a glass of water for her. You both are going to pay for this.” Ryder yelled at them when the same anger I saw on his face today.
” I send my stupid friends to save you, Emily. I made him act like one of Patrick’s guys. But they acted way more than they should have done. I will explain to you everything now. Please, don’t leave from this house. This is the last place, I can keep you safe.” Ryder fastly spoke with guilt in his voice. Right now, I can only understand I got saved from Patrick to end up in Ryder’s secret place. I can be grateful for that. I thought Patrick would have killed me.
When Ryder removed the tape from my mouth slowly, I threw my hands around him. He almost stumbled to stay on his feet.
” I thought I would end up dead,” I cried.
” I won’t let that happen to you. I care about you a lot. I’m feeling so guilty. I bought this problem to you,” he said, hugging me back.
” Here’s the water, Ryd…” the same guy trailed off. I tried to part apart from Ryder after hearing that guy’s voice. But Ryder didn’t let me separate from him.
” Keep it here and get the hell out of here,” he shouted.
” I’m sorry, Ryder. We need to act like we are one of Patrick’s friends. That’s why we tied her up to get his trust. After getting into the car, we warned her so she should not try to escape.” the other guy stammered the whole explanation.
” Instead, you would have told my name to her. Just get out of my face. You are the last persons I want to see right now.” he said, breaking apart from me. He moved towards the door to close it right in front of their face. They didn’t dare to speak another word. Ryder locked the door.
Then he turned towards me. All the temper he had got on his face washed away when he’s gaze back on me.
” I got a lot to explain, Emily. Will you hear me, Emily? Please,” he softly asked, taking my hands.
