I wake up with the sound of an Italian music playing in the background and I can smell sea salt in the air as then warm breeze brushed my face. My eyes wander on the place I am in.

I am aware that I am lying on a plush, king-sized bed which sits atop of a plush carpet, draped in crisp, white linens and adorned with delicate lace trim. The bedframe is crafted from rich, dark wood.

The wind blow the white curtains on the window, as I hear seagulls chirping nearby. I stood up and went to the window and looked outside. I gasped as the house where I am in is perched on a high mountain below it is a private beach.

Where I am? And how long I was asleep? I checked my self in the mirror. I looked clean and I am wearing a yellow sundress. I massaged my temples and tried to remembered what happened

My eyes widen when realization dawned me, there were two men who tried to get Delilah and I! Are we kidnapped? Where is Delilah then? I quickly run towards the door, expecting it to be lock but to my surprised it wasn't so I slowly opened the door and expected that outside is heavily guarded but I was met with creepy emptiness and quietness.

I went out from the room and the Italian music became louder, I walk barefoot till the living room where the music is being played on an old vinyl player. I watched as the big round black cd spins before turning it off.

My eyes look around at the spacious living room with a high ceiling, there is a fully-equipped kitchen, and a dining area that can accommodate up to twelve people.

The warm wind blew from the sliding door and I went their to see outside I gasped on how impressive the outdoor area is, it has a sprawling garden with lush greenery, a private swimming pool, and a sun deck perfect for soaking up the sun. The garden also features an outdoor kitchen and dining area, perfect for al fresco meals. As I walk outside I saw a stairs leading to the beach downstairs I hurriedly went there only to find out there's a large gate with chains and locks.

To my frustration I tried to shake the gate but I know it is useless, this is not a vacation Sam! You are a prisoner here! I remember Delilah so I ran back upstairs and shout for her name but it seems I am alone. Where is she? I do hope she's okay, I keep reminding myself that she's not yet dead.

I returned inside and sat on the plush couch as I my mind trying to figure out what is happening, the events of what happened yesterday come rushing in, and the pain once more arises. I curled myself as I cry again, maybe I need this time alone to heal but one person I need right now - Gael!

How can I tell him where I am if me myself don't know where I am, I don't have my phone to begin with! I look around and there is no laptop or computer around, I bet there's no internet here as well. Gael will be worried about me! What if he thought I left him? Will he find me? Or will he replaced me? My paranoia is creeping again so I shake my head. I need to get out of here.

My stomach begin to growled. I did not eat anything since yesterday's breakfast. I wonder if there's something to eat at the kitchen. So I stood up wiping my tears and started to walk towards the kitchen and open the fridge.

The fridge is stock with lots of food and groceries! There's deli, vegetables, fruits and meats. On the cupboards are cereals of all kinds! Who owns this place? And who kidnapped me? Is my kidnapper treating me into some kind of vacation?!

I decided myself to make spaghetti and meatballs, while I was cooking I noticed the wine cellar have different kind of expensive wines. I raised my eyebrows and chose one.

I silently ate my meal, the sounds of the waves crashing and the seagulls flying comforted me. I noticed as well that from every corner of the house, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding landscape.
