Chapter 51

Isabella's pov;

When I woke up, I rubbed my eyes and saw that both my hands were free. I didn't have a plaster on my mouth and I was lying in the back of the car. I sat straight and looked in the front, Mr Martinez was still driving the car. Has he been driving for the whole night?

"Why didn't you tie my hands?"

He turned and looked at me saying, "You woke up? Did I wake you by driving badly?"

"I woke up by myself. Were you driving for the whole night?"

"No, I slept here and there."

"Your face says you didn't. Where are we now?"

"New Mexico."

"New Mexico? You must have been awake all night to reach here."

"After New Mexico, it's Arizona and we'll reach California in 16 hours."

"Stop the car."

"What?"

"I'll drive the car. Get out."

He gave a stunned look and stopped the car and asked, "Are you sure about that?"

"You'll see when I drive that I'm sure or not."

He got out of the car and I took the driver's seat and he sat beside me.

I started the car with some jerks so he asked, "Do you really know how to drive?"

"Yeah, a little. Check all the mirrors before starting driving. Rearview mirror checked. Side mirrors checked. Why couldn't I see the front?"

"SUVs are more in height than other cars so leaves spaces between cars when it comes in contact with other cars."

"Okay. I started the car slowly and drove it on the highway."

"Why are you driving 40km/per hour ?"

"I never drove on the highway before."

"Can I drive? If we drive at this speed, I don't think we can reach there by time."

I increased the speed to 50… 60… 70… 80.

"How about now?"

"I drove 120 km/h last night."

"120km/h?? Were you trying to crash on someone?"

"That's how the car runs on the highway. If you drive it under 100 km/h, I'm sure you'll get into trouble with other cars."

"Okay!" I slowly increased the speed, as I was increasing the speed, I gripped the steering wheel tighter and because of the speed, I closed my eyes and drove the car.

He asked me, "Why are you closing your eyes? Open it and see the road."

"No! It's scary."

"You have to open your eyes when you're driving!!!"

When I opened my eyes to have a look, I got scared and closed my eyes with my hands.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Mr Martinez suddenly grabbed the wheel and he slowed it down and stopped the car.

"You can open your eyes now, I stopped the car."

When I slowly opened my eyes, I then realised I was holding onto Mr Martinez's hands to hide.

I backed away and said, "Why did you ask me to raise the speed? It's your mistake."

I got out of the car and walked around the car. He got out of the car and looked at me and didn't give me a way to get in.

"What are you doing? Move."

He gave me a stare and said, "Why aren't you running away?"

Sh*t! I forgot that I was being kidnapped.

"I forgot."

He patted my head and said while smiling, "Get in."

When did he learn to smile a lot? I got into the car and Mr Martinez started to drive the car.

While he was driving, why didn't I think of running away? Why didn't I?

Finally after 16 hours of driving, we reached Mr Martinez's house by night. The guards opened the door to us.

Mr Martinez opened the door for me and waited. I walked into the house and looked around.

"Nothing changed."

"Yeah, nothing changed."

Did I say that aloud?

"I don't have any money to give you. It's a waste bringing me here, Mr Martinez."

"We'll work on it later. Go to your room and take a rest. You must have been feeling tired after travelling in the car."

Where did he learn to speak like that? I never heard him speaking like that before? It sounds like he's more polite now.

I walked upstairs and looked at the rooms in the hallway. Mr Martinez was in the first right and Ethan's on the first left and mine was in the second right.

I walked past Mr Martinez's room and saw Ethan's room being locked up. I wonder how Ethan is. After I walked past Ethan's room, I saw mine.

When I opened the door, it was painted like it's new. It was decorated well and the things were all in their places like how it should be. When I opened the wardrobe, I saw my clothes and my things. I saw my mom's clothes along with mine. I took her coat and touched and caressed it slowly on the surface of the coat. I took it near my nose and sniffed the coat which made tears welled up in my eyes. I hugged the coat tightly towards my chest and cried thinking of my mother.

I felt someone hugging me from behind.

"Why are you hugging your mother's coat?"

"It still smells like her. I miss her."

He turned me towards him and said, "You have to get used to it."

I snapped his hands away from my shoulder and said, "You won't understand. Leave!"

"My mother died in an accident when I was ten and I saw her dying in front of me. I couldn't do anything because I didn't know what to do and how to seek help. You're not the only one who saw their mother's death in front of their eyes. So don't talk like you know everything."

I kept my mom's coat back into the wardrobe and closed it.

He said, "You're not allowed to leave this room or out of this house anymore. You shouldn't go anywhere out of this house. No maids and Butlers are allowed in this room too. If you want anything, call me through this." Gave me a phone and continued, "You can only call me using this phone. You can't contact anyone other than me. Even if you tried, the call automatically connects only to me. So remember that before trying something. The balcony is closed too. Don't try to open it under any conditions. Have a good night." And closed the door after he left.

I walked over to the door and opened the door but i couldn't do it since it was locked outside the door. I banged the door for sometime and returned back into the room. I walked over to the balcony and saw steel wired across the window cutting me from the outside world.

He has indeed kidnapped me.
