I immediately made my way to her room, when i opened the door she was no where to be seen and no one else was there either.
-
-
"Who the hell is in here?" I shouted

And then i saw her hiding behind the bed, who the heck is she hiding from?

"Alina, you okay?" I said making my way towards her

When i saw her sitting with her head on her knees , she wasn't looking up, so afraid to even say a word. she was trembling with fear and shaking uncontrollably.
-
-
-
"Hey hey, don't be scared, i am here.... everything will be okay" I touched her hand to give her a feeling of comfort but she flinched...that broke my heart, seeing her like this broke my heart. I am gonna kill the bastard who did this.
-
-
I saw something on the window...and there was a bullet hole, somebody tried to shoot at her through the window.....the glass was shattered on the ground...I checked on her if she is hurt from the glass or not but fortunately she was not.
-
-
"Where were you, when this happened?"

"On...t..the....bed" she said not looking at me...like she is scared to show me her fear but i can here that in her voice.
-
-
"Are you injured?"

"No....it was a missed shot i guess" she said looking up with fear. "Maybe now they know that I am here...and they just want to scare me to death"

"But they won't even be able to touch you"
"What if they'll kill me?"

"I will not let that happen, trust me" i said looking straight into her eyes, she didn't said anything instead she hugged me and started crying on my chest...making the front of my shirt wet with her tears....I hugged her back and started rubbing her arm to comfort her....

After leaving a sleeping alina in her room i thought of calling her father to inform him about everything that happened.
-
-
-
I dialled the number and waited...

Ring goes for 3 times and he picked the call

"Hello Mr. Cortez"

"Hello Vincent, is everything all right?" He asked in heavy but low voice.

He is really a person with dark aura...i don't know how he have a daughter like alina...so fragile and innocent at heart.

"Some people tried to shot at the buliding today morning towards her room...but it was a missed shot...maybe they just wanted to scare her"

"WHAT????? You know that they are not going to kill her right, they will try to kidnap her and then i am gone...they will use her against me!!!!"

"I know, why don't you keep her with yourself?" I asked

"I just want you to protect her, You hear me!!!! I don't care, take her somewhere else, protect her....i am giving you the damn money for that!!!!" He said in frustration.

"Okay Mr. Cortez"

"You listen to me young man, if something will happen to her, i will be all over the news and front pages...and they will take advantage of that, i don't care about her...i care about myself more than anyone, do you understand that?"

"I do Mr. Cortez" i said with anger in my voice.

"What do you understand Vincent?"

"That you are a mean father who just wants money even of that costs his daughter's life"

"You.....

And hanged up at him!!!!
I am frustrated over the edge..

How can a father like him even deserves to have a daughter like her.

I've heard money can blind people....but he is a damn father!!!!

Thinking deeply into the thoughts, i saw her coming my way...all cleaned up and calm.

Sleep helped her heal.

She sat on the couch silently and looked straight into my eyes and said

"I heard your conversation with my father" she stopped to make her words clear
"Sorry with Mr.cortez" she said with no emotions on her face.

"I am sorry" that's all I was able to say

"Can we meet the person who wants to kidnap me?"

I was shocked at her question, why she wants to deal with this.

"No, it's dangerous"

"Are you not gonna protect me?"

"I will protect you, but you don't have to get inside this matter....I'll handle it for you"

"NO, you won't" she said calmly

"Why?"

"I wanna know who is he?"
