Cursed by his Love (Completed)

Chapter 2

‘oof’, I groaned because I could not bear the bright light of the morning sun and so I closed my face with a blanket.

‘Nora, get up you sleepyhead’, Elena, woke me up by throwing a pillow. That was the day I had to get ready soon since I was moving to the city for my work. After I packed my things unwillingly,

‘You forgot to pack your brush. Brush your teeth daily’, Elena chuckled and threw my toothbrush at my bag.

I gave her an angry look since I was really not happy to move to the city living far away from my sisters, my friends at home, and Sister Audrey.

I went to the sister Audrey’s office launching a gloomy face.

‘Sister Audrey? Are you there?’, asked, and opened the door.

‘Hello Nora, my love, packed everything’, she stood up from her chair quickly, greeted me with a sweet smile, and kissed my forehead.

‘I will miss you sister Audrey’, I hugged her as soon as I saw her and said in a low tone. Sister Audrey cared for me more than my mother. She was the most kindest woman I ever knew.

‘Don’t forget what I taught you’, she said in a concerned tone.

‘Be Brave, be honest and Love all’, I said, smiled bitterly, and hugged her again.

With eyes full of tears and with a sad face, I left the orphanage home to start my new life in the city. Thinking that I was going to live in a new city made me feel so nervous. This city was not only meant for development, and richness but also for drugs and crimes.

I reached the city and rented a small house that had a room and a kitchen. The house was so tiny but still looked elegant. I bought some stuff for my new home with the money which sister Audrey gave me, and I also decorated the home with cheap color papers. Finally, it looked better than before.

I laid on my bed, shut my eyes, and remembered what I promised to Elena. Elena wants to be a gymnastic dancer and she dances so well. She wants to join in the country’s best sports school where national players get trained, but we did not have enough money to join her in that school, where mostly rick kids can easily get in. I promised her that I will save money for her sports school, so she can join when she became 17 years old. ‘I have 2 years of time, I will save the money somehow’, I muttered myself.

My new job.

My senior staff, Erica madam, spoke to me strictly like a military officer. I was so scared of her as she was speaking to me a little rude, ‘I should give myself some time, it will take time to Acclimate in a job and with the new people’.

Soon, I got a new friend, Rose Davis, who was my coworker. We both used to work on the same shift and often walk our homes together since her house was located on the very next street of mine.

At first, I hated the city the most, I missed my home very badly, but slowly I convinced, and I pushed myself to stay there and started to get used to it. On weekends I and Rose started to hangout.

…

On Television channel, there was some news about a Don, and a Mafia’s gang’s leader called, ‘Super Lilly’.

I recently heard this name often, ‘Super Lilly’, in news channels and in newspapers. Out of curiosity, I asked Rose one day while we both were working on a night shift, ‘Rose, who is Super Lilly?’

Rose said in a husky voice, ‘That is an underground don’s name. He was also referred to as ‘Drug lord’, ‘Mafia King’ of the city. Everybody uses to call his whole gang as Super Lilly’s gang. Very few knew about his whereabouts and no one reveals how he looks or where he stays.

The city’s policemen are searching for him for years. Super Lilly is not only a bad person but also rich, they don’t value human lives and kill men just for money and drugs. His gang was also involved in drug making and transportation of illegal objects.

No Policemen could track down their location since only a few people know where Super Lilly is, and he changes his place from time to time from country to country. Even some policemen help him to escape.’

‘Super Lilly, the name seems like a woman’s name, is super Lilly a woman?’, I sneered.

‘Maybe, no one knows, no one ever saw Super Lilly’, she shrugged carelessly.

After a few days, I got my first paycheque, I was so happy, and no words could explain my happiness of that moment. I really wanted to buy a lot of things like a new dress, new shoes and wanted to gift something for Sister Audrey and my sisters.

Suddenly, Elena’s dance school fees hit my mind so hard. I said myself with a smile, ‘I should save money for Elena, that is the best gift I can give to her’. I saved some money and started spending the remaining.

…

The next day! The unfortunate day of my entire life!

Every decision I made that day, lead me to a totally unfortunate event.

I did a mid-day shift, which usually gets over by past 10 at night. Rose and I used to work on the same shift previously, so usually, we walk together back home. But my bad luck, she was into a different shift that specific day.

I could book a cab, but I thought of saving that cab’s money, and I started walking home after work. Unlike the other days, the street was so quiet and creepy that day. I saw a few drunkards whistling on me while I was passing them on the footpath, I started to walk so fast out of panic.

Squeak! Squeak!

(a fast driving vehicle stopped, making chipmunk screaming sound)

Two derailed SUV cars, which were driving so fast stopped abruptly, which made a big noise that was enough to startle me. Some men, who were wearing some funny monkey masks, got out of the car and approached me in a haste.

I realized something was not right and I was to about to turn and run in panic, but two men already held me from my behind and sprayed something on my face.

That was all I remember!

When I got back to my consciousness, I was in a room where it was so dark and cold. I was shivering and felt so dreadful, ‘Mm’, I murmured. Then I remembered the kidnap, shed tears out of fear, and called for help but no one responded.

I was laid on the floor, tried to get up but fell. I could not even sense my own legs, my both hands and legs were so numb due to coldness. I did not know how long I was lying on that cold floor in an unconscious state.

I was even blindfolded also, and I had no idea where I was and why those people had kidnapped me. I cried for help. I was exhausted from shouting for help. My throats got dried too and then I gulped but felt so much of pain in my throat due to its dryness.

…

After a long time, I could hear some men’s voices from the next room. I started calling him, ‘Hello, Is anyone out there? Please help me’, I uttered.

Somebody opened the door forcefully. I was startled by the sound of the door slam. Two men pulled me up and took me to another room where there were more men.

‘Please! Please! let me go’, I begged until someone roared at me, ‘Shut up you stupid b*tch’.

I stopped begging and stood silently. Since I was blindfolded, I could only hear them speaking,

A man who was holding me, ‘Here she is’

‘She is not the one your mother F*cker. You made her escaped’, a slapping sound.

‘No, we took her on the same street that you told. See the picture, she is the one’

‘No, no, she is not the one. F*ck, F*CK, let me think’, a man growled.

I did not understand what was happening there, but I was sure about one thing that I was kidnapped by mistake. They took me instead of a different girl.

‘If Super Lilly comes to know...’, someone said this in a nervous voice.

Wait! What? Did someone say SUPER LILLY? Who are these people? Are they from super Lilly’s gang? What do they want from me? My whole body was trembling after hearing the name ‘Super Lilly’. I stopped praying. I lost all hope. I knew I am so dead that day. Oh god!

‘Finish her, she is of no use’, a man said this a deep voice and left.

I was frightened to hear this, and cried, “No, no, please”, I begged. My lips trembled and with my eyes folded and I could only beg for my life.

Someone pulled me towards him, and I could not process what he was trying to do until I feel an icy cold knife on my neck. A knife on my neck! That minute, I even stopped breathing and the sharpness of the knife was making a stab without even the man’s force, tearing the skin of my neck.

‘Stop it, what the f*ck are you doing? Who is she?’, the next minute, I heard someone roared.

‘We kidnapped her by mistake. Michael said to kill her.’ a man said in a deep cold voice.

‘Why we should kill her? she did not see our faces. Let’s leave her’

‘No, this is for our safety. And If Super Lilly comes to know, you know what will happen’ he paused.

‘I will talk to Lilly. Leave her to me’

What? Leave her to me? I thought this man was going to sell me as a slave or make a slave to himself.

Someone held my arm and took me to a different room, I guessed it should be the same man. Once we entered the room, I could hear a crack sound, ‘s**t! He was locking the door’, he locked the door and approached me.

‘Oh s**t! Is he going to r**e me?’, I thought this and became more panicked and did not stop crying. He held my arm as I stepped back so quickly like I touched a worm. He untied me, removed my blindfold.

For a moment I could not see a thing, the whole glimpse was so blurred. I wiped my eyes since I was blindfolded for a long time, the view was so foggy.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a man, who was in his mid of the ’20s, was standing in front of me staring at me and I gulped seeing him. He stared me with narrowing his eyes. There was no one else in the room.

I felt so uneasy because he gazed at me for more than a minute, which made me feel so uncomfortable.

He was wearing a white half-sleeved t-shirt and a blue jeans. The sleeve of his t-shirt was so tight due to the big size of his arms. His tattoo in his arms and neck was exposed more than his skin. He looked so rough, no wonder he belongs to a thug gang of people.

‘Use it, if you want’, he stretched his hand and showed me the washroom.

It was a wood house that seemed to be in a hill station area because I could see a fireplace and some woods in the room. He suddenly turned and approached the fireplace to light it.

I rushed inside the washroom, tried to close the door, found there was no lock for that washroom, What the hell? No lock? How can I use it? I badly wanted to pee since it was a long time.

Somehow, I controlled my embarrassment and used it. I tried to find a way out. In that washroom, there was no window. I looked all around the room and found a broken wood that was below the wall’s corner in the washroom. Since it was wood, if I kick hard a few times, it will break. This gave me some hope to escape.

But I realized that I should not do at that time, I could get caught out of sound. So, I went out of the washroom. He handed me a black jacket, I wore it silently. He tied my hands from my backside, blindfolded my eyes, whispering into my ears, ‘Be a good girl, I will let you out’ and left the room and locked it. I exhaled heavily. He didn’t tie my legs, which was the mistake he did.
