Chapter 24

"Get up," a familiar voice says but I ignore her. "You're an annoying bitch," she says trying to get an emotion out of me, but I don't fall for it. "You shouldn't talk about yourself like that," I say not facing her. I'm sitting in an empty room with my hands tied behind my back.

I've been sitting in here with my forehead against the wall for about an hour, until Natalia decided to prance in here and tell me what to do. She grabs my upper arm and yanks me up to a standing position which pisses me off more than I already am. "What the fuck do you want?" I ask trying to hold back from spitting in her face.

Instead of answering me she starts to drag me by the arm into the hallway. "Don't fucking touch me," I say yanking my arm out of her grasp and following her. We walk past a few doors to the end of the hall where there is a door on the right which is slightly ajar. She opens it and pushes me inside causing me to trip and scrape my knees.

"Already on our knees are we?" A deep voice comes from above me and I look up to see Jagger smirking down at me. I quickly stand up and look around to see a couple more guys in the room. "DONT FUCKING TOUCH HER!" Jake's voice screams from the corner of the room where he is tied to a chair by his ankles and wrists.

"What are you gonna do about it, pretty boy?" Jagger sneers and trails a finger up my arm causing bile to rise in my throat. "STOP I SWEAR TO GOD-" Jake starts but Jagger cuts him off by pulling my hair and dragging me to a wooden chair. "LET GO OF ME!" I scream but flinch when his grip in my hair tightens.

"Don't tell me what to do," he spits and I instantly shut up not wanting to anger him further. "Get me that rope," he tells one of the guys and the guy complies immediately. "Zach is coming in a few minutes," one of the other guys say and Jagger nods and dismisses all of them. He ties me to the chair causing the ropes to dig into the skin on my wrists and ankles.

"I'll see you in a little bit," he sneers causing my stomach to turn. When he finally leaves, he slams the door behind him and I let out a sigh of relief. "Are you okay?" Jake asks from across the room and I nod. "Yeah, should've known that bitch was involved," I say through clenched teeth. "She had us all fooled," he says equally angry.

"By the way who is Zach?" I ask and he frowns. "The leader," he replies quickly causing my blood to freeze. "What the fuck?! Why does he need me here?" I ask trying not to panic. "I don't know!" He says not making eye contact with me and I instantly know he's lying. He does know, he just won't tell me.

I try to wriggle my hands free, but the rope is too right around my wrists. Suddenly the door opens again and a tall man walks inside. He has short blonde hair and crystal clear blue eyes and he looks fairly young. He has tattoos covering every inch of skin on his arms and an eyebrow and lip piercing. I was expecting an old graying guy, not a hot punk Abercrombie model.

"Hello Jake," he smiles showing off his straight teeth. He doesn't look like the type of guy to be a gang leader, but then again Jake doesn't either. I'm almost positive that Mr. Blue Eyes has scars on his body too.

Jake scowls when he says his name and I wonder why so many people are afraid of this so called Zach. "And you, beautiful, must be the lovely Ashley," he says turning his attention to me and I see the flicker of anger in his eyes. "Uh yeah.. Why am I here? These ropes are cutting off circulation in my wrists and ankles by the way so you should take them off," I say in one breath and he chuckles and glances back at Jake. "She's a keeper," he says casually.

"Sorry sweetheart, but I can't do that.. I've been told you tend to be violent," he says turning his attention back to me and anger sparks inside of me. This dick thinks he can keep me and my friends hostage and then ties me to a fucking chair and refuses to untie me and on top of all of that my boyfriend's ex fiancé is working with him.
