Obscured Possession

Chapter 7

(Helena's POV)

"We will move to my mansion in Rhode Island, or in Australia... Everywhere you want. I want you to go live with me." My dad declared.

"Everywhere..." My mom said dreamily as she stared at my dad.

"We can spend the weekends at my beach house in Malibu. The sun will do good to you, sweetheart. You look pale." He frowned. "For now, we will stay at my penthouse at the upper Manhattan. But I am planning to buy a new house where we will stay soon."

"Is there a hospital where I can work at?" She asked him.

"I'm actually planning of making two of your dreams come true. One is to send you to a medical school and two is to build a hospital under your name after you graduate." He winked at her.

"But..." She looked surprised and positively happy.

"Helena?" My dad asked me.

"I live in an apartment near my Uni during weekdays." I said.

"I can transfer you to a better school." He offered but I shook my head.

"No thanks, dad. I'm very happy at school. I have friends there. Don't worry about me and start making a baby brother or sister." I joked and both of them blushed furiously.

We had dinner at an Italian restaurant that I forgot the name and went home afterwards. I decided to stay here at Jacksonville for a week to help mom pack our things so we can move out by next week. Dad went back to his penthouse because he still has a lot of work to do but promised to come back next week.

Five days later...

"Helena, are all your things packed?" My mom looked inside my room.

"Yep." I nodded while sorting through my boxes.

"Your dad called me earlier and said that he would be here by tomorrow morning." She beamed at me.

I was about to say something when the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Who can that be?" My mum murmured as she exited my room and went downstairs with me lagging behind her.

"Who is it?" She called out.

"Special delivery from Mr. Josef Blackthorn." A man said from outside.

My mom grinned, clearly delighted, and opened the door. A ski masked man in all black suddenly grabbed her. Another guy grabbed me before I can scream for help. They put a sack on our heads and dragged us to what I assume is a van.

Damn it! This is the second time that I've been kidnapped. And this time, I'm with my mom.

I cried quietly while my mom sobbed incoherently, probably praying for help or my dad.

I don't know how long the drive is, but my mom is already quiet by the time we arrived at our destination.

One of the guys pushed me out of the van and I almost fell if it weren't for another guy catching me. I was once again dragged into the unknown.

They removed the sack once they secured that we are bound, gagged and locked.

I don't know how long I've been sitting at the dusty floor of this damned cell. My back hurts like a b***h and the rag that they used to gag me tastes like s**t. I spat the rag out of my mouth the moment they left us here, but the taste still lingers on my tongue.

I can hear my mom snoring softly beside me and I looked at her sleeping form. She must have fallen asleep without me noticing. She had been crying and calling for my dad nonstop ever since they left us here.

I sighed.

Who could be the mastermind this time?

I remembered Candice. She had her boyfriend and his buddy kidnap me and just look at what happened to them. I still can't stop gagging every time I think of their fate.

But Julian is dead. He can never interfere now, and I have to find a way out of this before they kill us...

"So, the b***h's daughter is already awake." I heard a female voice speak from the dark.

"I didn't even fall asleep, b***h. Your hotel room sucks, it doesn't even have a proper bed and it smells like rat piss in here. Is this where you actually live? Yuck." I wrinkled my nose.

"You b***h!" She stepped into the light and sneered at me from the other side of the cell. Wow! She must be so breathtakingly beautiful if it weren't for her evil deeds. "You and your mother have no breeding." She spat.

"We don't need breeding. We're not dogs." I frowned when I realized that I don't even know her. "Who are you anyway?"

She smirked and stood up straight like a model. "Vienna Haynes. One of the most beautiful women in the world. Model, fashion icon and socialite."

"So, you're some kind of a celebrity... I don't even know you. Am I supposed to know who you are?"

She looked horrified. "I'm famous! All girls should know me because I walked and modeled for Victoria's Secret. I am the face of Mac. I've been featured at plenty of magazines! I could have won miss Universe if I wanted to. I have more than 100 million followers in both i********: and Twitter! I'm far more famous than Kim Kardashian and Madonna!"

Who the hell is Kim Kardashian? I don't even have Twitter and i********:. "Uhm.. Okay. So what does all your fame have to do with me and my mother?"

"I'm supposed to be married to Josef and live in luxury forever, but that b***h stole him from me!" Her eyes grew wilder and she suddenly picked up a small that I didn't notice earlier. She walked towards the cell and my heart raced as I realized what she is going to do.

This woman is even crazier than Delilah.

I tried to free myself from my bonds but I can't even move.

"Wakey wakey, b***h!" She grinned and poured the bucket of ice-cold water to my sleeping mother.

My mother's eyes flew open as she jerked awake. "Mmmmm mmm?" She looked at the woman with wild eyes. She spat the rag out of her mouth and moved closer to me, shivering and bone cold.

"W-who are you?" She asked Vienna.

Vienna the b***h smirked. "Your greatest nightmare."
