CHAPTER 1
Kidnapped
AUTHOR’S POV
Ana flips through the last file and wrired the last three sentences.
“All done, finally.”
She raised her hand in the air and stretched her self. Her back snapping.
She yawned at the came time and out her hand on her mouth
“Now, I can go home. What time is it anyways.”
She looked at the time on her wrist watch… Nine o’clock.
He eyes widened.
“Oh, s**t. It’s almost Ten o’clock. Oh my God, what he was I thinking. The will close the company soon. I don’t want it sleep her. Will there even be any cabs when I get to the road? Oh my God, I am so doomed.”
She picked up her bag and ran as gas t as she could our ofher office. She took the stairs.
The security man was about to look the gare when he heard a woman yelling
“Noo!! Wait!! Wait!!”
He looked and saw Ana rushing towards him like a brake failed truck
He moves aside for her, waving his head in pity. Ana screeched past him and waved hi good night as the same time, her body shooting into the road at the same time.
Ana flashed her eyes side by side but there was no can. In sight. She prayed silently.
“Oh, please let a can come please. I wan to go home please.”
She ran forward, heading for the T-junction where cabs usually takes when driving to her apartment. Still there was vehicle. She decided to run home.
Immediately she made the decision, she heard the beeping of a car and she turned backwards like Flash. She saw a van and he was heading towards her.
She flagged him down immediately. The man parked and h she hopped in.
“Dep…” her phone, interrupting her. She looked at the call. It was her half sister she ignores of. She turned the cab driver.
“Please take me to Duplin street.”
The diver turned to the steeling wheel, ready to drive away when her phone ran again. She picked it up this time.
“What is it Maria? An on my way home, what ever you want to say, leave it till am home stop calling me.”
She made to cut the call but what Maria said made her stop.
“Ana, I think I am drunk and I cannot take myself home. Can you come and pick me up.”
Ana was silent but in her mind, she was thinking.
‘You are what? I told you to stop drinking too much and out side. What is your problem Maria. You are the older one, you should respect yourself, how come am the one who is the response one.’
Ana heaved and spoke. “Where are you exactly,? So I can come and take you home.”
“Riz. Am at the Riz…” she stuttered and her voice trailed, the call cutting.
Ana huffed. She looked at the diver. The man smiled. He heard the conversation.
“Thank you so much sir.”
The man accepted the hands and wheeled his car into the road,
In less than hour, they got to the bar. Turns out that Riz is a hotel. Ana got off the cab and paid the driver. Thanking him again.
The man left and Ana took a momyto take in the sight before her. Riz was definitely an expensive hotel. The building structure, the penthouse on top and the frontage.
She signed. Maria never stops squandering the money she gets. Even though she never makes it. Funny enough, father never gives her any money an expects her to make the money for herself.
Well, what do you expect from a man who knows that this girl is a product for cheating on his wife. She began to wonder at that moment that if her mother had insisted on his taking her in, she would had never had a home but did she even have a home. With her after reminding her she was a mistake and her step sister turning her into a slave.
She heaved. ‘Lets get over this over with’
She walked slowly into the hotel. Pulling her phone at the same time she called her stop sister. The phone rang and Maria answered the phone .
“Where are you, Maria. This is a hotel, not a bar, I cannot find you anywhere.” She said with little concern.
“Room 115. Am there. Hurry will you, if I pass… pass ..pass out, you will carry me.” Maria voice came off line some one about to fall asleep.
Ana cut the call and entered the elevator, going to the third floor. The elevator made the ding sound she came out, on to the floor.
Other than the sound of the elevator closing, the whole floor was quirt. Ana got a hit uneasy.
‘People are supposed to be in these rooms, how come there is no noise’
It’s seemed out of place but she didn’t know why. She just decided to get Maria and go.
She hurried straight for room 115. She knocked, calling Maria’s name. The door opened.
She stepped In.
“Maria, Maria, Ma…”
Someone grabbed her from behind, covering her mouth. She struggled immediately. Another hand grabbed her arms and her legs. Before, she knew it , she was on the floor, pinned there and her hands and feet were being tied.
She could not fight any of her attackers. They tied her mouth. Too. Then dragged her into the bedroom.
Immediately, they stopped puller her and she was in her knees now, tears filing her eyes, she looked up and saw her.
Maria standing next to a man in overall black. She smiled at her.
“Hello dear. Always a good woman aren’t you. Thank you for coming and making my job easier.”
Maria looked at the man In black.
“The boss has sent it to you. Our deal with you is done..” the man told her. She smiled and began to slowly leave the room..
Ana let our a muffled screamed, hot tears bursting out.
Maria looked at her without emotion. “My beautiful sister, Ana, have a god life where you will not bother my life.”
Ana still struggled, trying to get Maria’s to help her but Maria, did not even look back for a moment, she left the room.
Ana’s eyes widened, and her heart broke.
She has been sold.
