WHAT'S NEXT?

Story Extract- A Drug Called Love!

Riya struggled under their vice grips as they held her tightly while her eyes glared back at the pair of blank yet intense ones. There was a glint of amusement in them. They looked so...... Amused.
The bakery shop had been closed long ago, the streets had fallen silent. It was two in the morning after all "So...." Namjoon began. His voice sly and smooth, so threatening. He began to advance towards her struggling form " A.prize to pay. A life for a life. Do you love your brother Riya?" his silky voice was dangerously attractive, offering her an unwanted distraction "Where. Is. My. Brother?" her fiery and demanding voice amused him as he eyed he gritting her teeth. Definitely, she was something else. He lazily raised an eyebrow at her tone "Jimin...." he called for one of the men holding her, his voice showing no sign of agitation "Do you think of her to be suitable enough to be a queen?" the man named Jimin smirked before glancing at her briefly "Well, she is courageous, beautiful and apparently wise. So, why not? She can be a perfect queen." he replied, his voice playful, he was enjoying all of it.
Riya narrowed her eyes suspiciously, she could find no relevance of her being a queen with such a situation. She instead began to see him as a lunatic and wished that it was all over, just over.
Namjoon chuckled before he opened his mouth again "Fine then......We will let her precious brother go." Riya's felt a small and timid bubble of relief which was bursted as soon as the next set of words came out of his lips "And we will take her instead. The king needs a queen to be by his side and bear his children." Riya's eyes widened at his words while her struggles turned frantic "What the- No no let me go, let me go!" she protested and yelled only to make Namjoon's smirk widened "Call my men, they will drop her brother here." he simply ordered one of his men in black and they immediately obliged "And, coming to you, my queen." his voice lowered as he approached her, his steps casual yet intimidating, his fingers captured her chin before raising her face, so that her fiery eyes would meet his ice-cold ones "Two days. I give you two more days of your simple life. On the third day, my men will be here. And they wouldn't hesitate to shoot your precious brother to death if there is any resistance." this time, he was whispering. Riya's eyes watered at the thought of losing her only family "No..." that was all she could say, her tone hushed and wavery. Namjoon's lips curved into a victorious smile before he gestured his men to let Riya go. As soon as they obliged, his eyes darted towards her left arm that was now bruised, his eyes darkened as they glared at her arm before shifting his glare to the man who was the cause. The other man, whose name was not yet known to Riya shuddered under his piercing gaze and apologised immediately. But he met with nothing but silence "I do not want to see the marks after two days." he declared before turning away and heading outside the shop, followed by his men, leaving a baffled, shocked and sobbing Riya behind.
