And I knew I was done for, as he carried me in his two arms and before I knew it, I was in another black London cab. He just kidnapped me... and no one noticed through his smart move. He did this on purpose, so that we looked like a couple, so that...
To my surprise, I didn't know how I would survive after this. This lady was staring at me like I had done the worst crime, the worst sin in the world - ever - and here I was, sitting on this bed, staring back at her like she was an alien... which she indeed was: a stranger.
It felt like those cliffhangers in dramas, when you really cannot figure out what will happen next, and I was living through it, being the heroine. Or... maybe not - maybe after all my life was a tragic story, and I was the damsel in distress. Could life get any better?
To my surprise, nothing happened. After staring me down for a few seconds, she simply shook her head, and silently left the room with her trolley. I watched her go out - she seemed to be a maid by her clothes.
And then here I was, once again just me and the silence, but now I also had a delicious breakfast staring at me. It seemed to look too good to be true. For some reason, my intuition told me they gave me a bit of everything, because they probably wouldn't know what I would like to eat. From waffles to seemingly orange juice to English-looking tea to a fruit-salad and pancakes.
I thought about how they could have poisoned this food, but... shrugging the thought off, I drizzled chocolate sauce onto the golden waffles, and quickly stuffed my mouth with the first bite. They could have killed me a long time ago, if they wanted to.
The person who imprisoned me here could have killed me long ago if they wanted to, and considering a maid served me food, this person... seemed rich. Very rich in fact, as I looked around to see all the walls screaming out expensive paintings, and a small chandelier encompassing the light. This would probably be the type of room Belladonna could have, but never me.
"Did Willy Wonka kidnap me?", I asked the food sitting before me, before devouring it like a very hungry animal.
...
I didn't know how much time it had been but probably after half an hour of eating, I felt the need to wash up and go to the toilet. So I went into the grandiose bathroom once again and that was when a pile of clothes. This bathroom was a proper room - and perhaps even bigger than my actual bedroom. When I looked closer, it was a set of maroon silk pyjamas that were sitting near the bathtub and by the reflection on the mirror, a girl in a very haggard state stared back at me.
So after a quick shower and a change of clothes, I felt like a human once again. The MelYu brand pyjamas I was wearing were out of this world comfortable, pyjamas that I could never afford.
Why were they taking care of me? Perhaps, I died? Perhaps, this was a hotel for the dead to stay before the afterlife. They seemed too nice to be a kidnapper, and I was too ordinary of a person to be kidnapped.
Thought after thought ate through my head, when out of nowhere, I heard a knock on the locked bathroom door. I remained quiet, scurrying behind the bathtub and waited. A few seconds later, the knock became a loud bang, making the door vibrate. I held my breath, trying to hold the my cries in with my hands, as blood rushed to my head.
"Miss Hoshiko!", a male muffled voice echoed through and bounced around the white tiles, making me more scared. What was happening?
A tear cascaded down my cheek, when the man outside called for me once again, this time the sound booming with impatience and anger. I couldn't help but cry out loud. Within seconds, he began to kick the door. By the fourth kick, the door slammed open, and though my eyes were shut tight, his heavy steps became louder and closer.
I looked up to see... him. The escort guy. But he wasn't looking at me, instead he was checking every corner of the bathroom, his eyes alert. I didn't know when he was done, because I was busy crying with my head tight against my knees, but a moment later he finally spoke:
"Are you okay, Miss Yume?"
