Be My Bride

Chapter 26

Kimberly.

It was hours until the door opened again. The room was getting darker. It means that I've spent two days in Jennifer's captivity.

  " Kimberly, Kimberly, I just made my demands known to your so called husband, we'll see how much he truly loves you." She had a proud smile on her face.

  I felt my heart beat getting faster and my throat became sticky
" Tell me what you asked." I was afraid of the answer.

" Well, I asked for half of Blackwood Constructions and I asked him to divorce you, if not I'll kill you."

  This Bitch is Crazy!

There's absolutely no way that Sam will give up half of his company. That was his life's work and his family legacy. He has given up everything to bring the company to it's position

  "You know, you're a crazy person Jennifer, what you want is ridiculous. Do you really think that Samuel will give you half of his company Impossible.

  "Well then, it better be possible. It's either that, or your life. To be honest I'd like you dead." She said with a straight face.

" Just kill me then you evil bitch."

Kyle is safer with Samuel. I would never expect Samuel to do that for me. It would ruin him. I'd rather she kill me.

" Soon, Kimberly. Very soon."

  That was a threat.

" Anyways, I should've brought food for you. I'm such a terrible host. But I guess you're used to being hungry. I heard my Samuel picked you from the trash." She said mockingly.

I was unfazed. " Tell me Jennifer, why do you need half of Samuel's company?''

  " Well, I need a stable source of income, and my mom's about to declare bankruptcy. Who's gonna pay for my expensive lifestyle. When you're out of the picture, I'll get married to Samuel and I'll take back everything you stole from me." Jennifer said. " Anyways, enjoy your self here. I'll ask someone to bring food for you. I need you alive. For now." She turned away and walked out of the room.

I sat in the darkness thinking. That was all I could do. I felt really hopeless and stupid.

A few moment later, the door swung open with the sound of jingling keys filling the air.

A young girl entered. She didn't look older than eighteen. She held a to-go bag and a bottle of water. She approached me cautiously.

  She placed the bag on my thighs. The tantalizing aroma filled the air and my stomach growled in anticipation . It was almost painful. I hade not realized that I was starving.

  " So, I'm supposed to feed you. Please make this easy for me okay?"  Her gaze met mine and I could sense the fear and uncertainty oozing from her.

My hands were still tightly bound together. She opened the bag. It contained potato fries. She carefully dipped the fry into the dipping sauce and placed it in my mouth. it tasted like heaven. That's what happens when you go for days without eating, I guess.

When I had eaten to an extent, I mustered all the courage within me and began to plead with her. Please, you have to help me get out of here please! Jennifer is a crazy woman and she'll kill me. Please, I have a baby and I need to be there with him. Youre my only hope.

The girls eyes widened, a mix of surprise and concern flickering across her face. Her gaze shifted nervously as she weighed the risks.

She hesitated. "Sorry, I can't help you." She sprung to her feet.

Please I beg you, just get in touch with my husband his name is Samuel Blackwood of Blackwood constructions. Please, he'll reward you handsomely. Help me, for the sake of my child. Please."

Every word was infused with desperation.

"I have to go now." She turned and walked away.

Tears streamed down my face. Please, please, help me I cried out as she left.

Oh no! I might actually die in here.

#####################################

That night was freezing and I didn't have anything to cover up with. I was enveloped by darkness and cold. That night, I prayed for the first time in a long time.

When I was a kid, my mom always read the bible to me and we always prayed every night. Until, my grandfather got cancer and died. I slowly drifted away from God and I didn't identify as a christian anymore. But now, since he's capable of saving, I need him to save me.

After the prayer, I slept off.

I woke up to the sound of footsteps. I heard a loud bang. repeatedly! it was as if, someone was trying to break the lock on the door. I was instantly enveloped with fear and uncertainty.

The door sprung open and a lot of men entered the room. In that moment, time seemed to slow. I was temporarily confused. Suddenly, there was light coming from various angles.

Then I saw him! running towards me surrounded by police officers.

A tear ran down my cheek.

He found me. I was safe
