My Contracted Cinderella

Chapter 15.

When I got to the car and was about to open the car, he came out of the car.

"Don't! I'll do it" he said as he opened the door for me.

"You can go in my lady." And I smiled and entered the car and he closed the door behind me.

And then he came to the driver's seat and we drove off and then he took us to a very fancy and wonderful restaurant and he requested for VIP seats which they showed us where it was.

And then we sat and he ordered food and drinks which they brought for us and we ate.

After we finished eating, they came and took the plates away and they gave him the bill which he paid and then we left the restaurant.

When we got outside, our car was nowhere to be found and I was shocked and I looked at him but he wasn't shocked or angry and he said calmly,

"The car is gone" and I said,

"But how? Who could have done this! I'm going to call the police, this is not right at all" I tried calling the police but no one answered then I said,

"The restaurant might have a CCTV camera let me ask" As I was about to go, he said,

"Since the car is not here I guess we will have to walk and the journey is very long so if we want to get home we would have to walk fast.

Then I said, "okay let's go."

So We started talking. On our way home, I said to him,

"Jayson, You know, I like the way things are going on with us right now."

"Yeah. Me too." He said.

"Like, there are no arguments, no quarrel. We are just cool with each other." I added.

"Yeah. And you know what? I think I've started feeling something for..." Just as he was about to complete what he wanted to say, I changed the topic and said,

"Umm... I think I see someone from afar. Isn't that an ice cream truck over there!" I knew what he wanted to say, so I distracted him by talking about ice cream.

He was about to confess his feelings for me. Not that I didn't want it, the thing was that the contract I had with his Grandmother clearly stated that immediately he's a changed person, that would be the end of the contract. This means that I'll have to leave his life for good.

But that meant breaking his heart. Because He has finally felt loved and also fallen in love with someone.

"Why don't we get some ice cream!" He said with excitement.

"Why, Sure!" I replied in the same mood.

"Okay! Let's walk fast and catch up with the ice cream truck." He said as he pulled my hand. And then we started running like little children. I enjoyed it.

"Good day sir, Can we get two cups of ice cream please?" He said to the ice cream man.

"Okay. Sir" The ice cream man replied to him.

"But what flavor do you guys prefer?" The ice cream man asked.

"I'll take the strawberry flavor!" I shouted.

"Ohh! Then, I'll go with vanilla flavor" Jayson said.

"Okay. Here's your strawberry-flavored ice cream. And here's your Vanilla ice cream" The ice cream man said as he gave us our ice cream.

"Hmm. so yummy!" I said as I licked my ice cream.

"Ha ha ha!" Jayson laughed as he pointed at me.

"What!" I said in surprise. Like, why was he laughing so loud?

"There's! There's ice cream on your nose and lips" He said as he continued to laugh at me.

"Ohh!" I said as I joined him in laughter.

"Come here." He said to me,

"Okay," I replied.

He helped me clean the ice cream off my nose and my lips with his handkerchief which he brought out from his pocket.

"Thank you!" I said as I walked away from him. Because he started staring at me in some kind of way I didn't understand.

In my whole life, I've never been treated like this. Like, I've never gone out with anyone, not to talk of a guy. I've only dated just one guy. And it was a mistake on my part for bumping into someone like that.

He had a very bad temper like Jayson but his own was worse than Jayson's own. He would always shout at me for every little thing I do.

It was because of him I swore to never be with any guy ever again. Even if I wasn't going to get married, As far as I'm getting my money I'm okay being alone.

Jayson changed my life. He brought back the happiness which was once lost in my life.

So, as soon as we were done licking our ice cream, I decided to call a taxi.

"Taxi! Taxi!" I shouted as I demonstrated with my hands. But that taxi drove past me.

"And why are you stopping a taxi?" He asked confusingly.

"So that we can go home on time. And also, because I'm tired of walking. My legs hurt. Ouch!" I said, pretending to be in pain.

"Ohh really? But I can carry you!" He said as he tried to lift me from the ground.

"No! No, No! don't carry me. I can manage. Whereas, I'll get a taxi very soon." I said.

Just then, a taxi drove and came to where we were standing. Then I said to Jayson.

"You see, This is fate. I stopped calling for a taxi! And one came by itself." I said.

"Okay. Hop in, let's go!" He said.

"Yeah!" I said as I entered the car.

So, as we entered the car, we met a man sitting in front of the car. So, we both sat at the back of the car.

We got into a very sweet gist that we forgot about what was happening around us.

We had no clue that we were being kidnapped.

It was when we got to a street after where our mansion was built that I noticed that something fishy was going on.

So, I informed the driver that he had passed our house. When I told the driver, he acted as if he was not hearing what I was saying.

So I decided to tell Jayson.

"Jay, I think we have passed our house," I said looking very worried.

"Huh. Nah I don't think so. Let's continue with our gist!" He said out of ignorance.

"No! You don't understand what I'm saying! I mean, the driver is taking us somewhere else!" I said with fear in my eyes.

"Ohh okay! Now I get what you're saying, This driver is bad. He's not even listening to what we are saying." Jayson said.

"Yes, Jayson! I think we're been kidnapped! We shouldn't have gone out today! It was a big mistake. We should have just stayed at home." I said as I burst into tears.

"You know what? Just calm down. Stop crying! I'll think of something." He said in encouragement.

"Hey! Hey! Stop! Stop! Are you deaf or what? Where are you taking us to?" That was I kept on Shouting until Jayson did something smart.

Just then, he picked up his phone and pinned his location to Lala. So, Lala could look for us. This way, I felt relaxed a bit. Because I was losing control of myself at that moment.

Jayson knew that if he had made a phone call to anyone at that point, the driver or the other man who was sitting at the front would have done something stupid. Either by hitting us or killing us on the spot.

He did what he did with his phone quietly. So none of the men noticed what he did.

Just then, we got to a very old-looking warehouse. When we got there, As we were about to come down from the back, The man that sat in front quickly came down from the car and rushed to open it for us.

I thought we were free. I thought the man was a good person or he was a victim like us. I became happy and rushed to get down from the car.

Just then, The man gave Jayson a very hefty blow on his face. And Jayson fell to the ground.

"Nooo! What did he do to you!" I shouted in tears as I saw Jayson land on the ground.

Just then, the driver came down and said to me,

"We were instructed not to touch you. So, move aside and let us do our job!"

"What! Who instructed you to do this? Tell me !" I said as I pushed the driver backward.

"That's none of your business. Just move away!" He said as he pushed me to the ground. And I fell on my elbow.

"Ouch!!!" I screamed as Jayson continued to receive blows from different corners by the two men.

While they were focused on beating him, I struggled and got myself up from the ground. I was in serious pain. But the state in which Jayson was in, was nothing compared to mine.

I watched him scream. I saw an iron rod on the ground and I felt like using it to break their heads. But I didn't have the courage to do so.

Then, I quickly looked for Jayson's phone in the car because mine got crushed as I fell. So, I saw the phone on the back seat of the car and then I picked it up and started calling Lala.

Just with one phone call I made to Lala, telling her about our experience with the kidnappers, she contacted the police and they came right away.

She couldn't get the location that Jayson sent to her, that was why I gave her a call.

At the sight of the police, The stupid driver and his wicked accomplice tried to run away. But as they were running, I started throwing stones at them.

Some of the stones I threw hit their legs and they fell. So, that was how the police caught them and took them to jail.

I quickly ran to helpless Jayson who was with bruises all over his body. When I tried to lift him up, he shouted,

"Ouch! Take it easy."

"I'm... I'm sorry!" I said with tears rolling down my cheeks.

Just then, Lala's car appeared before us. Then we got in and we were taken to the hospital.

Jayson could barely walk by himself. I was who supported him as we walked inside the hospital.
