Spoiled rotten

ⓉⒽⒾⓇⓉⓎⓄⓃⒺ

When I woke up, I felt dizzy but slowly the memories of the encounter came back. Simons's words about Darren and my father echoed in my head. So many questions. So little answers.

Looking around I saw I was in a different room. It was a lot nicer than the first one but a prison nonetheless. I was chained to a bed in the same clothes I was wearing when I was taken. Tears ran down my face while I relived the experience of my kidnapping.

Before long, I started to pull at the restraint on the bed to no avail. Just as I'm about to give up, I see the door to the room open. My father is the man who walks in. "Dad? Please don't take me away!" I started to cry as he leaned on the door. Before he could speak a loud thud was heard.

My father fell to the ground and a woman stood behind him holding a bottle of wine. She then proceeded to chug the bottle.

Her arms were still raised and she spoke in a strong jersey accent. "Well don't just sit there! Let's go!" I was still in shock and when she realized I was chained to the bed, she made an "oooooh" face. I think this woman was drunk...

She took the bat and beat the wooden bedpost until it broke and I was able to pull the chain off. "Ok hun let's get you out of here." she helped me to my feet before grabbing my hand and running out of the room. "W-who are you?" I asked "the name's Helena. I'm Simon's wife."

I gawked as she continued to speak while we turned a corner. " I overheard the bastard bragging to one of his men about the plan and decided to help you." I was about to thank her when we reached a staircase leading to an entryway of a house. Was I in Simon's house the whole time?

Before I could ask questions she pulled me to the back entrance and opened the door. "Go to the servants shed and grab a bike. The city is about 15 minutes from here. If you pedal fast, you should be home before he knows you're gone." still filled with adrenaline, I hugged her.

"T-thank you." she awkwardly tapped my back. "Yeah yeah ok. Now go before he sees you!" I nodded and ran towards the shed. I grabbed a bike and went through the woods to a road. I biked down the road for ten minutes and I saw a sign. " rosa solare letto y prima colazone" ( sunny rose bed and breakfast)

I sighed and made my way to the building. I rang the doorbell and an old woman opened the door. "Mi dispiace, siamo chiusi" ( sorry, we are closed.) she tried closing the door but I stopped her "please...I need to use your phone."

When she got a good look at me, she realized I was in trouble. Luckily she spoke English. "Come In." I walked into the quaint house and she sat me on the couch. " would you like tea dear?" I shook my head. " no thank you ma'am I just need your phone please."

She nodded and handed me a cell phone. Dialing Darren's number with shaky hands was difficult but I managed on the third try. The phone rang two times before an angry voice answered.

"Did you find her yet?!"

"Darren..."

" VICTORIA?! " I started to cry and the old woman walked out of the room I guess for privacy. I was shaking while talking.

"Sweetheart where are you?" I sent him my location while he continued to ask me questions about my wellbeing.

"I'm coming baby I'm coming." I could hear the rev and swerve of his car speeding down the road. Every few seconds he would say another reassuring thing. Either for me or him I couldn't tell. "I'm almost there"

I kept crying and shaking trying to respond to him so he knows I'm at least still there. " I'm s-scared "

"Shhh, I know baby I'm 2 minutes away." In less than that time the door was kicked open and there he was. He dropped his phone and ran to me scooping me up. Showering me in kisses he held me. " shhh my girl I'm here." I could feel his tears falling on my hair as we embraced.

"I'm right here Princess." I cried harder into his chest. Once I calmed down to be carried me to the car. The old woman was nowhere to be seen but frankly, I didn't give a shit. I was back in my baby's arms.

Once in the car, he sped home never letting go of my hand. "Who did this?" I looked away. " Darling...please." I sighed and he parked in the driveway to the penthouse. "It was Simon...Simon and my father teamed up to take me back to the states and have you marry Mackenzie."

As soon as I was done, he was shaking with rage and getting out of the car. " stay here" he said in a stern voice. He went to the back of the car and started yelling something in Italian. It was muffled but I could tell he was beyond pissed.

After a minute of yelling he grabbed me from the car and brought me to our floor. Once inside, he hugged me right kissing me. I could feel his heartbeat on my ear and it was fast. It was now my turn to soothe him. "Shhh, baby it's ok. I'm back. I'm ok." he grunted and let go of me. Turning fast he punched a hole in the wall.

"NO, IT'S NOT! IT'S NOT FUCKING OK! YOU ARE MY WIFE AND I CAN'T PROTECT YOU!" as he yelled he began to grow weaker. Slowly sinking to the floor, his hands gliding to his face. "I...I was right there....and I let them take you." I slowly walked over to him while he started to sob.

" What kind of husband am I? I can't even protect my wife. I thought you killed yourself. I'm so fucking stupid!" I straddled his lap and hugged him tightly. He sobbed into my shoulder, his knees up and on my back keeping me in place. I stroked his hair while he cried. " darling, there was nothing you could do. They knocked you out so they could take me."

We stayed like that for a while. I just held him and scratched his head. "I swear to God. That bastard will pay. He will pay Tenfold."
