Angelina

◾◾

Calling it coincidence is just plain ignorance of reality.

At one point after all the chaos or surprises of life and living the beautiful moments however filled with little contradictions, you start to believe that you have finally got the hold of things. You think that the events happening are aligning themselves for the betterment and not one event is going to take a different path. Well, you are wrong. It's never that.

"Tell me about your agenda." Rufus leans over me and grits his teeth. I have listened to him ask me this question for like hundred times and all the time I give the same answer with a shiver and moan accompanying it.

"I don't know what you're talking about." This time I whimper still flash anger to him.

"Oh, so the cat pretends to be a tiger right here." He says moving behind me.

The next instant I feel a chunk of my hair pulled back making me scream in pain.

"I was ordered to be discreet and harmless to you, miss. But I guess it won't work and I don't like wasting my time. Still, I give you are last chance." He whispers in my ear.

I try to not look in his dubious eyes and large cut across his right side of the face almost missing an inch of his eyes. It scares me even more. He pulls my face up with his index finger.

" What's your agenda for seducing Prince Ryan?"

It makes me cringe and I pray that Ryan found me soon. I have no idea how I ended up in an empty room with just a chair in the middle occupied by me and three men guarding the door.

Rufus, the name I listened to by chance when a man, seeming much authoritative came in calling for him while he was questioning me a few hours ago.

It was 8 in the morning and Ryan went out for his work. I resorted to taking a bath then play chess online when I got unconscious and woke up here.

"Ryan brought me to Paris. And if you are one to cause destruction of him, he will find you and you will pay. Let me go! " I manage to speak.

"Respect. His highness, you refer him. And you will pay if I dint like your answer about your intentions with Prince Ryan. Why did he suddenly decide to come here after meeting you? Your relationship with Ethan Ellsworth now?"

Ethan.

"Who made you kidnap me? Arthur?" I ask instead.

A slap crosses my face. I feel numb for a moment as if a moment has been taken away from me to spent it in silence. It takes me a while to become capable of listening to my own breathing and thoughts.

I gulp and look at him.

" In this room, I ask questions."

"Start." He says next. I shiver and a tear runs down my cheek for the first time.

"Ryan proposed to me to marry him and so he brought me here in Paris. Ethan is my ex." I say.
