Second chance on love.

Chapter 24

~Lee's POV~

It's been two weeks since we're back from traveling and the project is making good progress. Yes, Ryan is still living under my roof and things are pretty great. Each night we sit and watch TV like a true married couple. We make turns who cook and wash dishes.

Today is quite challenging for both us. It's today Amber's birthday and I have some trouble at the café. It's 05:00 am and like usual I make some coffee for Ryan and take it to his room. He's already up and in the shower. I place his coffee on the table, but I guess he's finish showering. He walks into the room with a towel wrap around his waist and the water drips down his abs. I take another towel to help him dry because he's dripping all over my carpet.

As I walk closer he looks at me with a confused look on his face. Just as I lift my arm with the towel he shoved it hard away. "What's the matter with you? Can't a man get dress in peace? Are your hormones top level today? Or do you also just want to sleep with me for the fun? No women, that's not how it works! You can't let me sleep under your roof and then after weeks want some sex! Get over yourself your slut!!" as shocked as I am. I can't believe my ears. I just wanted to dry him, because he's ruining my expensive carpet!! I want to tell him that it wasn't my intension, but he just called me a slut.

How dare he call me a slut??! I was only good for him, we haven't even slept together once. Why on earth would I now of a sudden? My parents raised me strictly and I'm a true Christian. I believe in sleeping with your husband, not with anyone who crosses your path. When you sleep with someone, you connect with that person in some way that is special.

"Get out of my room, please?! I want to get dressed!!" he shouts at me. I left his room with no response. I don't think I would be able to work today or face anyone. "Nikki, I'm sorry for doing this to you. I'm feeling sick today so I won't be able to come in. Is it okay?" I try so hard not to cry. I take deep breaths and force the tears down. "It's okay my dearest friend, get well soon, please? Is everything okay?" I just nodded my head after a few minutes I realized that she can't see me. "Yes dear, why wouldn't it?" she keep on trying to figure out what is going on, but after a while, she gives in and end the call.

I decide to change my shoes as quickly as I could. Before he's out of his room. I exit the house with no cellphone or keys. I just run, like usual away from my problems. It's my way of coping with things. All a sudden a car stops in front of me and I can't run any further. Why would Connor stop in front of me? Last he stopped in the street, not on the pavement.

I turn around and start running in the opposite direction, but I am too late. Two men grab me, one closed my face with a cloth..."NO, NO! LEAVE ME OUT! HELP! HELP!" I try as hard as I can to call out for help, but the street is quiet and still dark.

Where are they taking me? They through me in the vehicle's trunk. I can't stay awake. I force my eyes open until I can't anymore. I closed my eyes and trust that I will be saved.

~Somewhere between nowhere~

My eyes are closed, but I can't move my legs or arms. I wiggle my arms and legs and it feels like they're tied together. "Ahh, sleeping beauty is awake! You can open your eyes, my beloved princess. You are safe and sound in your castle." A raspy voice whispers to my ear. I refuse to open my eyes. I'm afraid that I won't like this.
