Sacrifice For Love

Chapter 26 : We meet again

Ah... My back hurts. I abruptly snapped my eyes open and at the other side of the bed I saw her looking at me with her feet crossed sitting like a queen, Maria Steven. 

"Awe she's awake," she stroked her wondrous hair behind her ears, "I thought you weren't going to wake, after all, I didn't use a lot of my... You know the thing that made you unconscious. I didn't want to hurt the baby because my boss would've killed me. How are you doing?"

"You... You," I groaned trying to move my hands but they were tied behind my back and so were my feet tied together.

"Yeah me. I know I am awesome," she gave me an evil smirk and my eyes sharpened.

"Where am I and what am I doing here?!" I grind out the words between clenched teeth.

"You're on a Yacht, and for the last question my boss will have to talk to you about that," she fixed herself in the seat. "Don't worry he will be down here soon and he's listening to us right now."

"Yacht? Where are you taking me?"

"The yacht's not moving. At least for now. We will leave for Paris in five days for the wedding," she said the last part a little too excited.

"What? Who's the wedding?" This can't be happening.

"Yours of course, who else? That is why we have you captive and we will go easy if you behave yourself-"

"I am not getting married to your absurd boss just let me out it's not safe for the baby-"

"That's the point the baby. I want my baby and if you don't behave yourself and worry too much it can affect my baby. Darling or should I say soon-to-be wife," a voice vocalized from a voicebox placed on the roof above.

I know that computer voice it was the voice I heard back in Paris when I was locked in. So this must be the man who was stalking and threatening my family and me.

That bastard!

"Who are you and why are you doing this?!" I shouted and there was only silence before I heard footsteps getting closer to the door.

The door flew opened and standing there was a man clothed in black jeans, a black dress shirt, a black mask on his face, a black beanie covering his hair, and black gloves. "Are you one of the masks that tried killing my mom and me?" I asked.

"No. I am hiding my face from you, I don't want to reveal myself until the day of our wedding or maybe soon, and who are the masks that tried killing your family? I would love to meet them."

"Too bad they're all dead, Justin killed them all and he's going to kill you!" He started to laugh as if I told a joke.

"Oh, Gabriella..." He said between laughs leaning on the wall that helped him from falling of laughter.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked. He stopped laughing then looked at me. I averted my eyes feeling his gaze burning through my skin.

"Maria get out!" He roared.

"Yes sir," she stood from her seat and left the room closing the door behind her and that was the moment I needed her here with me. I don't know what he will do to me.

He straightened himself and slowly made his way towards me looking into my eyes. "You really want to know do you?" He asked with only, rage.

"Yes. Tell me." I told him. I needed to know why he was doing all of this.

"I fucking love you okay. I want you to be my fucking wife and have a family with me, and you will finally be mine! I did this to get you, but the... Justin guy took you away from me and I wanted you!" He spoke with grave deliberation. There was a lump at the back of my throat that wasn't moving when he said those words. Was he serious? I don't even know this guy. "What can't you understand? What do you even see in... Justin?"

"T-that doesn't explain why you have me captive?"

"You will finally be mine," he smirked. "And mine only," he turned his back to leave.

"I will never be yours!" I shouted. That stopped him in his tracks. He turned his head and looked at me," already is," then the door flew opened and he was gone.

The door closing.

Justin where are you? I need you to save me.

The sound of my stomach roared and I cured myself like a ball in the bed closing my eyes.

There was nothing I could do. The room I was in only had one way out and there wasn't a possibility to escape.

***

The sound of keys jingling in the door woke me up. The door opened and Maria walked inside with a tray. She wasn't in the same clothes she was in earlier, she was wearing a blue cocktail dress and silver pumps with her hair wavy.

"Hey," she said as she walked towards me.

I didn't say anything.

"I brought dinner although it's past nine. I didn't want to wake you so I made you sleep longer, but my boss told me to wake you up and to make sure you eat," smiled placing the food on the bed.

"Why?" I asked as she unties my hands. I could've tried my luck and escaped, but it was useless. I didn't know where I was and I could get caught easily and who knows what will the 'boss' do?

"Because you're eating for two remember?" I sat up in the bed.

"Of course," I whispered to myself. She took the metal cover from the dish. I didn't have a choice so I started eating and drank water. I could feel Maria gaze on me and I looked at her. "What?"

"You were really hungry?"

I began eating again and Maria slowly walked back through the door closing it.

After a couple of minutes, I stood from the bed and looked around, and found a door different from the exit door.

"What are you doing?" The voicebox spoke making me gasped in fright. "You know that I can see you right?" I looked up and saw that there was a camera inside the room.

"I need to use the toilet!" I yelled at the camera. My stomach clenching with the force of my restraint.

"Oh, it's behind that door on your right," I turned to it and began walking. "And Gabriella don't do anything stupid. There is no way out of here," I walked inside the bathroom and closed the door.

I started looking for ways to escape, but there weren't any, but a small window that my body can't fit through without hurting myself or my baby.

Couple minutes later

I walked back inside the room and saw that a dress was laid on the bed along with underwear.

"Get ready for bed," the speaker spoke once again.

"Are they new?" I asked. I am not putting on anyone's clothes, especially their underwear.

"Yes, they are," there was a minute of silence, "now go get ready for bed," I slowly took the clothes up and went back inside the bathroom.

Where are you, Justin? I questioned holding back screams of frustration.

I slowly removed my outfit and stepped inside the shower and turned it on with tears running from my eyes.

And that's when I started crying with the shower sprinkles beating into my hair.

***

I slowly made my way towards the bed then laid down looking at the other side of the empty bed wishing that Justin was next to me, holding me tight in his arms telling me that everything's going to be okay at home in our bed.

I gently rubbed my stomach, "Hang in there little one everything is going to be alright," I hope.

My eyes started shutting and a couple of seconds later the darkness finally took over and a whisper was followed from the speaker.

"Sleep well, my love."
