Kidnapped By Him |Theo James

Chapter 38

She was standing there wrapped all in black with a gun strapped onto her side. She wore a tight black tank top, black skinny jeans, and her black hiking boots. Her footsteps were heavy as she got closer to us.

Her body gracefully came close to our positions on the floor. Kristal held onto me tightly as Ruth's footsteps got closer to us.

When she was two feet away from us, she leaned in and laughed. "Pathetic..." she kept on whispering. I could feel Kristal's breath hitched as Ruth leaned in until she was a few inches away from her face. "How pathetic can you look?" her laughed loudly echoed through the room. Her hand coldly grabbed Kristal's face, "If you could've let Theo go, I wouldn't have to be having this conversation right now..."

Her head turned towards me. The eyes burned through my skin as her face filled with neglect, "I knew it! I knew it that you were going to betray me! How many times do I have to say that I hate this woman to convince you that you cannot talk to her?" she whipped her blond hair back behind her ear. No matter how stupid you might think I am, I'm still in love with her.

When her eyes met mine, I started to feel something in her. She might look deadly but on the inside she is weak.

At the beginning of my job, Ruth sometimes comes to meetings with red and tired eyes. Often she would come to my flat crying and balling. I just never noticed that she wanted revenge and wanted Theo back.

Kristal wrapped her arms around me tighter and tighter. Ruth yanked us apart which made her scream. I have her a worried expression, "Theo is coming in a bit. He is going to save us," Kristal kept her calm.

Ruth laughed at my saying, "I'm going to drag you out of here before Theo's car even comes near this place," she threatens. "Stand up!" Both of us sat still. "Stand up, or I'll shoot!" she ordered again. She practically yanked us up to her height.

I now just thought of the gun strapped onto my belt.

Good thing.

I whispered into Kristal's ear, "I have a gun..." I could see a reassuring smile plastered onto her face.

Ruth snapped us out of it by pushing us to the foyer. I pushed her back which made her stumble backwards. I unstrapped my gun and pointed it at her as I let Kristal go. "Run!" I shouted as she rushed out of the room. The last thing I saw was a blond head leave running out the room before some launched at me.

Kristal's POV

I ran as fast as I could to the back of the house until I heard a gun go off. I stood frozen in my place and felt like my whole world has just crumble into pieces.

The rest of the people in the house went to where the gunshot went off and there he was.

Richard.

Years went by and I still cannot get away from that man. That abusive man. Next to him was a barely conscious Harry and Ansel pinned down. I screamed at how bruised Harry was and the black eye plastered onto Ansel's face. Richard turned to me.

"Well well Mrs. Burke, or should I say Mrs. Taptiklis? Which do you prefer?" His coarse voice hammered memories into my mind.

"G- get away f-from my friends," my voice shaken.

His laugh made me shiver in though, "You caused me to do this...You're the reason why all of this happened!"

I nodded my head, "N-no...why are you doing this to me?"

He lets go off Ansel's collar. He brushed himself off, "Because you let me waste six years in jail when i skimmed you on the shoulder?"

"You would've gotten worse if I didn't testify! You know how much I had to lie? If I didn't tell all of those lies, you wouldn't even see the light off day in ten years!"

He laughed, "So am I supposed to thank you?"

"If you said that those six years were hell to you, why are you doing this then?"

"Because Theo also kidnapped you," Ruth's voice startled me. I turned to her in disbelief, "Right?" She hauled Josh's body and threw him on the ground. She shot him in the arm.

"How could you possiblily say such a thing? Right Kristal? Why would Theo do that to you?" Ansel defended. I stopped him.

"She's right, Ansel, Theo kidnapped me..."

I hated those words...

His face turned white as he started to realize, "Is it that why you guys never talked about how you met?"

I nodded, "There...take me then! S-stop hurting these innocent people!"

Ruth crossed her arms in sucess and grinned at Richard, "I'm going to let you feel the pain that I felt..."

"I didn't mean to hurt you," I said as Ruth and Richard kept coming closer. Ansel was still shocked about what he just heard and then rushed to Harry who laid on the ground groaning in pain.

"Really? You ripped my heart into pieces when you got together with Theo! I bet that you were only going out with him just for the money! Faking your love and pregnancy just to get what's left of him!"

"I love Theo with all my heart and why in the world will I fake a pregnancy for him? That sounds like what you would do than what I would do" I choked out.

"You bitch!" She launched at me.

"Stop!" Ansel shouted as he blocked me. "Why would you even think of kidnapping her? What I was heard was you just got out of prison," he pointed at Richard. "And you are famous so why are you making these ridiculous choices of kidnapping her. Oh and if Theo didn't hurt Kristal, she can testify it and Theo won't get any charges. But you two are stupid? Theo doesn't love you anymore. He never did. You were just too delusional and thought he was the one. And that night. That night that he caught you cheating on him, he came back to set telling that you were a cheating skank and he never loved you!" Ruth swallowed. "He never loved you Ruth! Get over him! No matter how hard you try, you are never going to get him back! You are too delusional to realize that he doesn't love you. He never loved you Ruth! He never did and he nev-" Gunshot. Ansel's body made contact with the marble tile and knocked out cold.

"Ansel!" I screamed as I tried to rush to his body. I got caught up by Ruth pulling me close to the door. "Nooo! Let me go!" I struggled and both of them pushed me out of my house.

Leaving three unconscious men in there.
