Chapter 11 Taken

Gaby P.O.V.

I feel heavy. I can hardly move. I slowly come out of my haze with my mind foggy. What happened? I try to open my eyes but its still dark. I know my eyes are open but its still black. I try to reach up and remove whatever it was from my eyes. I can’t move my hands or legs. I was restrained by rope. I feel the burn on my skin the more I fidget. Suddenly I recall the last thing that happened to me. s**t!

“Well look who is finally awake.” I hear a deep manly voice with a Latin accent say. My blindfold was removed, and I squint trying to adjust my eyes to the lighting. “Good evening gorgeous.” I see the man behind the voice. He was tall, tanned, and pretty handsome looking like he was in his 30’s. He was wearing a black suit with a black dress shirt, he had dark brown hair and dark eyes that almost looked black. He looked like pure evil. I knew what his intentions were immediately with that wicked smirk on his face.

“Well look at those beautiful eyes! If you were not gorgeous already, now your goddess. I have never seen such an exquisite creature in my young life.” He takes a closer look at my face with his dark eyes. “I can’t tell is you are scared or in rage… hhmm… I am generally able to ready people’s emotions really well, but you… Why are you so hard to read?” I just continue to have a blank stare not giving him the satisfaction. I finally look away and take a quick glance at my surrounding and the men in the large run-down warehouse room. He grabs my jaw into his strong hand gripping me hard.

“Look at me when I am talking to you!” He yells into my face. I just glare at him as the rage builds up inside. He smirks at my reaction. “There it is… rage… Where have I seen this look before?” He says calmly as if talking to himself out loud. I feel him loosen his grip on my jaw and I this would be my only chance to show him who he is messing with. I lean my head back and in an instant head bud him and break his nose. Blood gushes out as he pulls back and wipes his nose with a towel one of his men give him. “Yup, I know who you are, I can tell from that furry…Red…” He finally stops bleeding and cleans himself better. “Now I see why he is so possessive of you, I would be too with a women like you.” He winks at me and turns to his men. “Can you believe we are in the presence of the infamous Red! To think she was an innocent florist by day, and a fighter by night. The best of both worlds.” His me chuckle “O Red, you know you had a huge following of single young men that watched you fight every week before you retired. I was wondering where you went. I gladly admit that I had a huge crush on you, among other enemies of mine.” He smirks and licks his bottom lip. “And Cartellini was the one that won you in the end. You know I have a much better territory than he does, and I can buy you your own flower shop back in LA.” He comes close to me and pulls my hair back this time and make me look at him. His eyes were still and focused on my eyes.

He whispers, “Leave him and be mine. I can be a thousand times greater that that sorry excuse for a man. Let me show you what a real man can do.” I look at him with a blank stare. I know that I will never leave Drake, he has my heart, I would rather endure whatever torture this man has plan for me than leave the love of my life. I give him a small smirk and spit in his face.

“In your wildest dreams.” I say with a strong and confident tone and begin to evilly laugh. The reaction on his face was priceless. Then I stopped laughing when I felt the sting of my cheek followed by a large pain and swelling. I softly laugh again afterwards.

“Looks like someone has a temper, what you have to make sure I am restrained to get a shot in. Untie me and let me show you how to really hurt someone… like a real man. Your just a p***y keeping me restrained like this!” I smirk and he slaps me again this time on the other cheek.

“Who do you think you are talking to little girl? Are you asking for a death sentence?” He glares at me.

“Its Santos right… and you think you can threaten me. This little girl can kick your ass in less then five minutes Asshole.” I smirk and he slaps me again.

“You are feisty, I really like it… I would like to tame the wild spirit of yours.” He cresses my cheek and I try to move away from his cold disgusting touch. I glare at him.

“Contact Cartellini, lets show him who our guest is for dinner. And gag her. I don’t want to hear her smartass remarks.” He commands his men and let’s go of me standing in front of me. I see his men set up a camera and big screen. I feel someone behind me pull over a scarf and gag me and I fidget.

When all the hustle and bustle was done I see an image pop up on the screen, but Santos body was blocking my view to see the complete picture.

“Why the long face Cartellini?” Santos taunts.

“Don’t f**k with me Santos! I know you have her! Where is she?” I hear the furry in Drakes tone. I know he is doing his best to find me.

“Cartellini, she is with me of course… would you like to see her?” He steps aside for him to see me and I see his handsome face on the screen. I see the worry in his eyes. I smile behind the gag until I feel my hair being pulled from behind and I take a sharp breath in.

“You never told me that she was the infamous Red… Remember when we were younger watching her fights every single chance we got. She really has grown gorgeous these past few years.” He cresses my cheek with the back of his hand. “I may want her for myself. She is very irresistible.” He leans in and kisses my neck and I try to jerk away feeling disgusted by his touch.

“Enough Santos, you called for a reason, now spill and let her go!” Drake roars over the speaker.

“Where is the fun Catellini?... well Give me access to you boarder for my shipments and I will return her. If not I will make her mine. I think it’s a win win if you ask me.” Santos and his men were to focused on the screen to notice me reach for my knife hidden in my bra with my mouth and lean it to my hand and hide it. I slowly cut my ties and look up and smile at Drake.

“Santos I swear if you lay a finger on her you will regret it. I will find you and I will kill you. You think you can just get away with this?” I finally get my hands untied and lean over and untie my legs before removing the gag. I look at Drake and motion for him to keep distracting.

“Cartellini, I guess you don’t know the severity of this?” Santos huffs.

Drake smirks at him wickedly knowing that I am about to unleash hell. “Santos tell me what happened to your pretty face. I am guessing you got my lady made. You should see her when she is unrestrained.” He

pauses and enjoys pushing Santos buttons. “You should really be careful with a woman like that. She can turn your world upside down. I will surely enjoy watching her beat your ass when I get there in a couple minutes. Bye Santos.” He finishes saying. I knew he was really telling me that he found me and just to do as much damage as I wat. I run to the nearest armed man and knock him down stealing his handgun from his holster. I am it and shot at three more men and they fall to the ground. Santos ducks and runs to a table flipping it over for protection. I turn and see two men running my way and aim at me. I immediately put a bullet in each one and they fall.

“Well Red I definitely underestimated you!” I hear Santos from behind the table. I crouch behind the couch that was close by for cover. I hear a few guns shot aimed towards me but misses.

“That was weak Santo! Who taught you how to aim?” I yell taunting him. I hear his huff. I move to the other end of the couch peeking. I see four men approach with guns call Santos. I aim and shoot each one and they fall. These men were not well trained.

“Wow Santos you men suck!” I yell at him.

“Ok Red your good but not that good…” I peek over the couch trying to take a look at where he is. I see a shadow of him peeking and I aim my gun and fire hitting him on the shoulder. I hear him fall back. Suddenly I hear massive gun fire outside the building getting closer to me. I immediately think Drake is here. I wait where I am crouched behind the couch. I just have to wait for him to find me now. I already shot Santo and he is stuck where he is. I have the rest of the room covered preventing him from escaping.

Suddenly I hear the main doors bust open and gun fire. When it went silent I Hear Drake call out for me, “Gaby?” I stand up from behind the couch and he was there with Miles and Jacob. I rush over and dive into his arms. He hugs me tight and leans to kiss the top of my head and inhale my sent. I start to tear up felling overwhelmed by all that has happened today.

“God I missed you!” He says after our long embrace. I look up at him and smile “I miss you too” Drake takes his hand, cups my face and wipes my tears with his thumb. He turns my head right to left examining my injuries. I see the rage burning behind his eyes.

“I am ok now. I guess he couldn’t handle my feisty attitude.” I chuckle trying to lighten the mood. Drake just shakes his head.

“Did you do all this damage too.” He asks with a hint of pride in his tine. I bit my lip and nod.

“I took out those eight…” I point to the bodies that fell, “I shot Santos in the arm… but yea before he called you he was asking of a broken nose so I obliged. I may have mentioned that he wasn’t man enough to handle me and he and his men were all pussies.” I smirk. Drake smashes his lips on mine engulfing me into a passionate feverish kiss. He pulls away for a moment.

“That’s my girl.” He kisses me softly again, “Lets go home, your friends are very worried.” I breath a sigh of relief and nod. Drake scoops my up and carries me bridal style to his parade of SUV with his men gathered.

“Gaby you’re the best!” Jacob comments on our way to the cars. I just giggle and shake my head. Drake places me in the car and I scoot over to let him slide in. Drake enters and closes the door. He turns and grabs me and places me in his lap cradling me. I just let him and snuggle into him. He may be treating me like a fragile doll, but I will let it slide. I was enjoying the comfort he was giving me. He bubs my back with one hand and cresses my thighs with the other. As we drive off, I feel myself doze off in his warm embrace. I am safe and back in his arms again.
