Jacqueline’s POV
Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell where we were going or who they were all I knew was that I could hear the sound of my heartbeat as a result of fear, I was sweating profusely before I got injected with a substance that made me feel numb gradually and I eventually passed out.
At the time I had woken up, I was tied up with chains, it felt so heavy and my skin was reacting to the type of iron. At least I no longer have bags on my head anymore.
I looked around thinking of an escape but it is not going to be easy, saddled with the fact that I am tied down with chains.
I was laid flat on an abandoned bed, surrounded by large wooden boxes that filled the room. It looks like a warehouse, but who the F*ck do I know that has a warehouse?
Or maybe the people made some sort of mistake, maybe I'm mistaken to be someone.
Lost in thoughts of how to escape and why I am being held against my will, two huge men came in with food and water, and they unlocked the chains from my legs leaving only my hands so I can be able to sit up. The one on my right rudely dropped the food in front expecting me to start eating,
“For someone who kidnapped me and still isn’t smart enough to know I can’t eat without my hand is alarming” I said spitefully, rage very evident in my voice.
Out of retaliation he slapped me so hard, leaving a mark on my skin. Water instantly filled my eyes, but I did not want to cry, at least not in their presence. Another person was humming while approaching, and instantly they covered my eyes back before the third person came. Now the only thing I could do was listen.
“Who dares to lay a hand on my princess?” The man with the approaching voice said, he sounded joyful like he had just won a lottery or this type of scenery just gives him peace and joy, to me he sounds sick in the head.
“Jacqueline darling, don’t worry I’ll feed you and I will take care of the fool that slapped you..”, After saying this I heard the sound of a gunshot. “..see I told you I will handle it. Ohh you can’t see”, then he began to laugh at his own joke. I think he feels it’s a joke.
I recognized his voice as soon as my name rolled off his tongue but I’m still in disbelief. Why?!
Why can’t he suck it in and move on, he was the one who treated me like trash and now I know my worth, he’s going insane. The thought of this made a chuckle escape my lips.
“Darling? What’s funny? I don’t remember asking you to laugh”, then he hit me himself and hugged me afterwards. “I’m sorry for hitting you, but do not laugh at me again”
I fought every urge to cry out, I did not want to be seen as weak, I know he has the upper hand right now but I don’t want him to feel like he does, it won’t take too long before everyone finally realizes that I’m missing. I have to give myself a little hope and encouragement.
He took of what they used to cover my eyes and he was sitting right in front of me, his face few inches apart from mine, I could feel his breath on my skin and I could see crazy in his eyes, I glanced away for a second and I saw one of his men cleaning up blood on the floor, with everything going on I glanced back at him and all I could muster out was “why?”
“Andrew, what did I do to deserve this?”
“Ohh darling, you did everything. I’ve been watching you closely after you left me. You claimed to have left because I treated you badly right? Or is it because you just wanted to have something with your lover without any obstruction” he said while caressing my cheeks.
It turns out all these years I never truly knew who I was dating. Everyone knows about his family rumors, but I thought it all ended with his father, I guess I’m a fool.
“Why did you kidnap me?”
“Ohh dear kidnapping is a strong word, you can say I’m helping you fulfill the promises we made, remember you are mine. But first I’d teach your lover boy a lesson for taking you away from you”, This time he sat on the bed with his legs folded, and his expression obviously portrayed him thinking of what he would do.
“Andrew, first off I am not a property you can possess, secondly I am anyone’s lover we are not even dating..”
“Oh, so you're a hoe overnight? Or you've just been hiding it”, he said cutting me short “You easily gave yourself to Drey, but you made me wait for years, you made me wait in vain, and you being quiet after saying this proves my assumption, but there is no problem. I forgive you, but you are both going to pay”
“Andrew you are sick!”, I said with so much disgust and hate, and I spat on his face.
Andrew got up and was about to hit me again, but someone came in and whispered something to him, “I'll be back” Then he left. They freed one of my hands so I could eat, but they stood there all through, as soon as I was done with my food, they chained my hand back but left my legs, then they left me in the quiet atmosphere thinking of any possible route I could use to escape.
