HIS PURCHASED CAPTIVE

Everyone Has a plan

MITCHELL'S POV

I was still recovering from everything he'd put me through when I heard a knock on the door. I tried to stand up, but I couldn't. I hated him so much, and I would forever hate him for all of this, he had treated me like an animal and stripped away my dignity without remorse. No, I couldn't stay here any longer. My life had always been complicated, but I needed to leave this place, far away, to another country.

Ma Alice and Maria entered my room and consoled me. They explained some things to me, and I was surprised;I had always believed I was evil, that my voice alone could kill. So how could my voice bring someone back to life?

I entered Capo's room, and I felt scared and confused. No, tell me this isn't him. No, I was certain — this couldn't be him. He moved slowly, and I could feel my heart pounding.

Maria urged me to sing, and when I opened my mouth for the first time in my life, I was surprised at how sweet and angelic my voice was. The next thing I saw , Capo collapsed, unconscious.

"Thank you so much," Ma Alice said, crying. "You have no idea what you did for him today. But one day, you'll find out who you really are."

"I know you don't know who you are yet, but I'll grant your request to leave. Try to go far away from this country. Find out who you are, and be very careful. Do not trust anyone," she concluded.

We left his room and I entered mine to pack my important documents

Ma Alice gave me enough money to last more than three years. Maria hugged me tightly, crying, and something about it felt familiar,as if someone had hugged me like this before,but I couldn't remember who. I hugged her back, and she said, "This battle isn't only yours but I promise we'll win in the end." I only nodded.

I snuck out of the mansion carefully. Ma Alice had already given me the gate password. I entered "Lucas," and the gate opened. I walked quickly, my heart racing.

I need to get away from here. Everyone keeps confusing me, I don't know who to trust or who to fear.

Why does everyone speak in riddles? I don't even understand half of what Maria said.

I thought about what Ma Alice said. I need to know who I am, even if it's the last thing I ever do.Why am I cursed? Why am I evil? Why do I have to face all of this? Why has everyone treated me like trash? I need to feel happiness. How is this happening to me at such a young age? Even if it's my last wish, I want to know the real reason my parents abandoned me. I need to ask them so many things. Is it because I'm evil? Is it because they hate me? So many thoughts were racing through my mind.

I was still walking when I heard footsteps approaching. I looked up to see six men walking quickly toward me.I picked up my pace, fear rising in my chest. I glanced back to see they had broken into a run. I started running too, but it took only seconds before they caught up with me. Three of them grabbed my arms, and I struggled against them. One of the men pulled out a handkerchief and pressed it over my nose and everything went dark.

TESSA'S POV

I felt really pleased seeing her unconscious. Well, let's wait until she wakes up.

"She'll be our bait to bring him down, and the president too," my husband said, smiling.

"Yes, baby. I can't wait to leave this country — after all these years, our mission is finally coming to an end," I said happily.

"The moment we collect Damon's property, we're finishing him off for good. He'll be too broke to have anything left. I can't wait to see his face when he realizes his best friend was his enemy all along," Alex said, and I smiled excitedly.

"So how are we going to get his documents?" I asked.

"We'll use Mitchell first, and if he still refuses, Festus will sneak into his private room, where he keeps his important documents. That document is the only thing that can bring him down. The moment we find it, we eliminate him and go after the president," Alex said, and I smiled.

AMOS' POV

📲 "Hello, boss, she's been kidnapped."

📲 "Are you sure?"

📲 "Yes, boss, I'm certain."

📲 "Track their location — we need to strike and take her ourselves. You know she's worth a fortune."

📲 "Yes, boss, I'll track them down."

📲 "Good. Move fast. Let's strike before they think to strike first."

📲 "Ok, boss."

I sighed deeply. I've been working as the president's security for the past twelve years as a spy underneath it all. I don't really know why my boss wants the president's lost daughter kidn*pped.

Boss raised me since I was a child. He told me I was an orphan and treated me like his own son. This was my first real assignment, and it's been twelve years in the making. I think the mission is finally coming to an end.

I don't know why, but I feel guilty every time I see the president's wife crying. It hurts to watch her — but I can't tell her where her daughter is. Whenever I consider it, I remember my boss's words the first day I arrived here:

Never let pity cloud your judgment. This is your first mission — think of it as repayment for everything I've done for you.

ALEX'S POV

Watching her sleep gave me a strange sense of peace. She looked so beautiful, so at ease. I wanted to stay close to her, but with Aunt and Uncle were nearby, and I couldn't risk showing my feelings not if it meant putting her in danger.

The moment we split Damon's fortune, I'd take her far away, somewhere we could start over; a new business, a new life. I know she'd be happy.

I remembered the way she used to look at me like she cared, even if she was too shy to say it. Sooner or later, I'd tell her the truth about how I feel.

I stepped out of the room and lit a cigarette, sighing deeply.

Be patient, Damian. She'll be yours eventually. It's only a matter of time, I thought, satisfied.

FESTUS POV

Now that our men have taken her, the next step is hiring people to help me get her out to Chicago. I've already bought a beautiful mansion there she'll love it.

The house reeks of money. I used every bit of what I'd saved since I started working for Capo to buy it.

I felt a rush of excitement, knowing she would be mine soon. I really can't wait.

MARIA POV

I woke up with a start and looked around. The signs were clear; Mitchell wasn't in good hands.

"No matter what they plan, no harm will ever truly come to you. You will live to tell the world your story," I said softly.

"They might seem smart, but with God's help, you will win. They'll be the ones who lose this time," I said, smiling, before drifting back to sleep.

MITCHELL'S POV

I groaned as I woke up. I couldn't remember how long I'd been unconscious. I looked around to see an unfamiliar room. Who could have kidn*pped me?The door opened, and I saw Mom and Dad. I felt a flicker of relief at least they were here to explain what happened.

Why are you being so stubborn? They are your enemies. Don't feel relieved, my inner voice warned.

I felt scared immediately. What had I really done to deserve all this? I thought they might be the ones who could finally explain everything I needed to know.

Why are you so foolish? Don't trust them. They will only lie to you more, my inner voice said.

I was still thinking of what to say when I felt liquid splash onto my body. I looked up to see Mom had poured water on me.

"You will answer me when I ask you questions. Don't play dumb, or you'll regret it."

"What do you know about Damon?"

"He's my boss," I answered sadly.

"Tell me everything. You know all his movements. I'm sure you know where he keeps his new goods."

"I don't know."

"You're still lying," Mom said angrily.

TESSA'S POV

I felt really angry. Festus had already told us he has new containers, and she's the only one who might know where they are kept.

"I won't repeat myself. Answer me now!" The truth is, the money we made from selling her has run out, and the boys are demanding more. The only option now is to tap into his goods.

This isn't our first time pulling something like this; but this time, no one knows where the goods are.

I'm doing my best to get this fool to talk, but she's playing dumb. I think I know what to do.

DAMON'S POV

I groaned as I woke up. I didn't know how long I'd been unconscious, but I knew it had been a while. My vision was blurry at first, but I could tell something had happened to me.

"Son, you're awake," Ma Alice said, hugging me tightly, crying.

"Yes ,what happened?"

She explained everything, and I started crying. I never knew she was the one. I had hurt her so much, I said, crying.

She would never forgive me. She would hate me for the rest of her life. I had put her through nothing but pain in the past. I had wronged her terribly, without ever considering her feelings, I said, still crying, and Ma Alice held me tighter.

"It's okay, child. I know you've hurt her, but when the time is right, she'll forgive you."

"But what if I—" My phone interrupted me. I checked to see it was Alex. I figured I needed to tell him everything.

📲 "Damon, Damon," he said, laughing.

📲 "Hey, Alex," I said sadly.

📲 "Well, I called to tell you my mission is coming to an end. Listen carefully — I won't repeat myself. I'm sure you already know who Mitchell really is."

📲 "What do you mean?"

📲 "I called to tell you she's in my custody, and only you can bail her out."

📲 "Are you playing pranks on me, or what?"

📲 "Arrrrrrrgggg, please, please—" I could hear her scream.

📲 "You hear her voice, right?"

📲 "Why are you doing this to me?"

📲 "Good question. You'll get your answer when you arrive at the location I send you."

📲 "Allex, are you insane? Do you know I'm capable of killing you in the blink of an eye?"

📲 "First of all, you're Damon. Second, you can never kill me."

📲 "Oh, I swear, if you don't release her right n—"

📲 "Let's get to business. Give me all your documents, including your late parents' documents, and announce your resignation as Mafia Lord to every Mafia family within 48 hours. If not, I'll kill her — and even then, I'll still take everything. Within 48 hours, I'll destroy your reputation and kill you brutally."

He said, and hung up.

"Nanny, I'm scared," I said, hugging her.
