Kidnapping the Prosecutor

CHAPTER 6

"It's a good thing that chief Kang gave you a week of rest."

Justine, talking to me as a friend. We're going down the ground floor.

"Well, I think there's more to it. I have this strong feeling that there's something they are hiding from me, that I should not know."

He laughed at me.

"And maybe you are overthinking it all Rheam."

I pouted. Justine knew that I am not a straight guy.

"You cannot blame me. I have a lot of case to finish. Well, you know that. You are my assistant after all. Besides, there's still lots of things to handle that involves me."

"That's why you are thinking that you do not deserve to take this trip at all."

I looked at him and smiled, then cling on his arm. We're in the elevator.

"You got it. That's why I love you Justine. You know me so much."

"Haha, but I advice you to just forget everything and enjoy our trip. It is not easy to have a vacation in our field of work."

"I know. Fine, since you are with me, then let's just enjoy this."

"Are you sure? Mind you, you are not allowed to bring any of your gadgets aside from your phone. No iPad or laptop or anything. Just your cellphone to contact me and me alone. Okay?"

I chuckled.

"Yes, sir."

We both laughed as the elevator door opens. We went straight to my car and drop Justine at his house so he can prepare his luggage. I'll just fetch him around 1 am.

After that, I also went straight to my house and prepare my things. While doing so, my phone rang. It's an unknown number.

"Yes, good evening, who is this?"

No one answered but I can hear some static sound from the other side.

"Hello?"

Still, no response so I decided to end the call.

"Weird."

I went to my bathroom, took off all the pieces of clothes on my body and soaked myself to the bathtub.

"So refreshing. When was the last time I had plenty of time to do this bubble bath?"

It is so refreshing.

~~

While on the tub, I got alerted when I hear footsteps outside.

"Who's there?"

No one answered. I can feel some ticking sounds. It's not a bomb or so, it's like a lock is being opened.

"Hello?"

I got up and put my bathrobe on. I also get something hard as my weapon. Slowly, I opened the door of my bathroom and observe outside.

"Is anyone here?"

Still, no one answered. So I decided to went out. No one is in the room.

"Am I just hearing things?"

I looked at the clock, it's almost 12 midnight. I better finish my bath and get ready. I was about to go back to the bathroom when I heard something crashing outside my room.

This time, I am sure, someone's inside my house aside from me. I went outside my room to check.

"Who's there? I will call the police."

I shouted from the second floor. My house is big, but I am all alone here since mom and dad went back to states. I didn't also hire some maids since I rarely went home.

I slowly went down the living room area. Still no one's there.

"Am I hallucinating?"

But then I found one of my big vases shattered on the floor. I stepped backwards. There really is someone here. I didn't bring my phone with me. I better call the police.

When I was about to run up the stairs, someone grabbed my arms.

"Aahh! Who are you?"

He so strong. It's dark here, so I can see him.

"Hello, my darling."

His cold and baritone voice sent shivers down my spine.

"Let go of me!"

I heard him chuckling then he threw me on my sofa.

"Ugh!"

I am trying to see his face amidst darkness of the room but I can't.

"I've been waiting for this time."

"No, get off. Please!"

He went over me and using one of his hands, he grabbed both of my hands and pinned it over my head. I am trying to make my hands free from his grasp but he really is strong.

"Let go! Let go!"

I tried to knee his balls but he seems unaffected.

"Don't waste your energy, Rheam. It is useless."

He touched my face gently, almost sending horror to my body.

"You're so beautiful."

"Let go. I don't know you. Please."

"No, I have been waiting for this time to come. Finally, you are here with me. No one can get you from me. You are mine, mine alone."

I can sense possessiveness from his voice.

"Who are you?"

"I am your destined partner. You will only belong to me."

"I'm sorry but I am not a thing. I have my own life. I don't even know you."

He stopped for a minute then showed me an evil smirk. Oh God, help me. This guy is crazy.

"You are mine, Rheam. Always remember that."

"No! Stop! Plea-mmh."

Tears run down my face. I am struggling refusing his aggressive kisses.

"No, no, no! Please! Stop! Help! Someone help!"

His kisses went down in my neck. He leaves signs there, and then went down to my collar bone. He stopped and looked at me. Crying and begging him to stop.

"Please, stop this. Please."

He didn't say anything and to my surprise, he tore down my robe showing him my bare chest, making me scream in shock and fear.

"Stop! Please! Help!"

I am screaming at the top of my lungs, I can feel my voice and body trembling in fear.

He bend down and give kisses on my chest. I feel humiliated. I want to die on the spot so he can stop doing this. This is r**e!

"Stop! Help! Someone help! Please! I beg you, stop! Stop!"

"Rheam! Wake up! Rheam! Hey, you're having a nightmare. What's happening?"

Panting and crying, I immediately hugged Justine.

"Hey, you're trembling. Calm down a bit and tell me what happened. Although it's just a nightmare."

He assisted me to wear my robe and went out of the bathroom.

"Here. Drink this water first to calm you down."

I drank the water and took deep breaths. I am sitting down my bed while Justine is beside me patting my back and brushing my hair.

"Have you calmed down now?"

I nodded. Tears still flowing from my eyes.

"What happened? You over slept and worst, in your bathtub. You know, there are cases of deaths by doing what you have done, right?"

"I know. I know."

"So what's that nightmare all about making you trembled in fear?"

I looked at his concerned face. I smiled a bit and decided not to tell him what's in my dream.

"It's nothing. Maybe I really am stressing myself out of the cases that happened these past few days."

"Are you sure it's nothing?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"Nah, what's more important is you are safe and I am just in time arriving here."

I remembered telling him that I'll fetch her around 1 but it's already past 1 am.

"I'm sorry. I told you I'll fetch you."

"It's fine. I took a taxi going here. So no need to feel sorry. Should we get ready then? We might miss the flight if we don't hurry."

"Yeah, I'll be done immediately."

He helped me do things and clean my room. I'm thankful for her good timing. I might die in my bathtub because of that. He's my savior.

"Let's go. The flight is 3 am. We have less than an hour to arrive there. Anyways, don't bring your car. The taxi that I rode going here is still waiting outside. He will drop us straight to the airport."

"Okay, your the boss."

Justine is good at managing time and doing what may give convenience to us, especially to me. So I gave him the responsibility of taking care of me.

We went out of my house. I locked the door and the gate then look at the taxi and driver that is waiting for us. It's a man. He seems nice so I just followed to whatever Justine says. I went in the backseat with our small bags and Justine is in the passenger seat. We started the ride to the airport.

"Are you okay there, Rheam?"

I looked at Justine and accidentally looked at the rearview mirror and saw the driver looking at it too. I'm sure of it. We caught each other's eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine here."

I just disregarded what happened because it's not rare for drivers to look at the rearview mirror from time to time. I just looked outside the car. Thinking of that damn dream. It's horrifying. I got scared, to be honest.

I can hear Justine and the driver exchanging words. They are having a conversation and I am not in the mood to talk right now so I'll just listen to them.

"Yes sir. We lots of luggage since it's a week trip to Coron, Palawan."

"Wow, that's nice sir. I haven't gone to anywhere else from our place though aside from the route that us drivers allowed to go to or once we have been contracted to drop someone to other places."

"Well, it must be hard for you."

"It is sir, but this is our field of work. I am enjoying it."

I heard them laughing. Well, it must be really hard for him. Working until late hours. Who else would work until 2 am outside. Other drivers must be resting by now.

"It must be hard for you. Working late at night and this early of the day."

I cannot help but to talk without looking at them. Upon realizing that it is weird that he is still outside and working, I cannot help but to get suspicious of him.

"Ah, hehe. I must work hard for my family."

The driver answered. It's a lie. There's something inside me, saying that this guy is no ordinary. But since we are in the airport already, I just let it go. I feel tired and drained because of that f*cking nightmare.

"Thank you so much, sir. Have a safe trip back to your home."

"Thank you sir."

The driver said to Justine while handing him his luggage. He then went to my place and smiled while handing me my luggage.

"Take care, sir Rheam."

My eyes widened while he is mumbling that in my ears. Shivers automatically went up my body.

"Have a nice trip, sir."

He said while waving goodbye to Justine. And when our eyes met, he smirked. I want to run to him, that smirk seems familiar.

"Hey, are you alright? Let's go our flight is being called."

He grabbed my arm and I have no choice but to follow him.

I cannot be wrong. That guy, he seems familiar. I have seen him. But I cannot remember.
