My POV
The light flashed in her face, bangs under her eyes as she strained to see. Her hands were tied but her mouth was loose, she tried to speak but her words became muffled and the vibration of the tape sent a tingling feeling to her skin. The door she sat in front of opened with a creaked sound, a shadow verged from behind and a figure appeared.
The figure had tattoos that covered its veiny hand that trailed down to its fingers. "What do you want," the girl said shuffling the chair trying to break free. It was the tenth time she was kidnapped, the kidnapper never told the girl what he wanted, and he only said "Him".
Hi, my name is Ruby Tuffin, the reason why I'm always kidnapped is because my family is the second richest in the world. I never knew what the man meant by Him. I always thought he wanted money but when my dad would come to find me and I asked him about it, he always looked surprised and just shrugged it off. My mother was the worst I would ask her, and she starts to shout at me and then ground me for a week because I asked her a simple question.
I don't have any close relatives other than my mother's sister Cora Robin, she doesn't like me at all and she always flirts with my dad. I never knew my parent's backstory they only would shrug it off when I asked. I'm a 17-year-old living in a mansion with my parents, Henry Tuffin and Stella Tuffin. I'm an only child, my parents don't want to have anymore because they say it's dangerous.
I never went to school because I don't like to socialize with people.
Ruby's POV
It was an early morning, I woke up from my nap took a warm bath, brushed my teeth, and washed my face. I went into my walk-in closet and put on a simple outfit. I went downstairs to the kitchen which met me with an argument between mom and dad. This was a daily thing for me, I rolled my eyes and sat in the living while looking for the remote for the TV, at the corner of my eye I saw that my dad's study room door was opened.
I saw that Dad was gone and heard the engine of his car turned on and Mom went to her room locked up in there for the entire day. I went in and saw that papers were scattered everywhere I looked around and looked for anything that was related to my parent's backstory.
While walking around I hit my toe on my file that was opened laying on the floor, I opened it out of curiosity, and I read the papers silently. I was shocked by just looking at it, I never knew what my parents were up to, but this was next level. I put the file on the table then I turned around to head out of the study room, my mom was standing at the door with her hands folded.
"Ruby, what are you doing in your father's study room?" my mom said looking at me mad
"I thought Dad was in here and I saw a file on the floor so I picked it up and then put it on the table," I said scratching the back of my neck
"Go to your room, now!" she shouted
I never knew Mom would get so mad, I walked past and let out a sigh. I went to my room and sat on a chair thinking about the file, I wanted more proof to see if what the file said was true. But how.
It was 5:30 pm Dad had just reached home, I walked downstairs to listen to Mom and dad conversation
"I told you to hide it, so she didn't find out," Mom said as pointed at dad's face
"I never thought she would go into my study to read it!" Dad said raising his voice
"Don't you raise your voice at me, Henry?" Mom said
"I'm sorry she's not going understand," Dad said
"How are we going to pay then?" Mom said
"How about selling......." Dad said
"Selling what," Mom said
"Ruby" Dad said
