Exchange For a Year

Chapter 35

A/N: So y'all know there will be a sequel to this so look forward to that in the future. Here I'm adding a big sub-plot that will fuel the happenings of the second book and this book has about 10 more chapters before the end! Thanks for sticking with this book, it has been making me really happy to read your comments and that you are all enjoying this.

Aph's POV

Its been I don't know how long since I was brought here but I remember being at Melissa's party then suddenly it's all black and I'm being taken somewhere. When I was able to see again there were three people standing in the room where I was tied to a chair with thick ropes. Two guys and one girl kept talking between themselves, something about re-initiating some old member of their club.

"What is happening?"

"You kitty, need to do something for me,"

"Never!"

I have no clue what they wanted with me but this needed to end right now. They haven't done anything wrong to me physically but they really want me to be here.

"You see, you don't have a choice."

I want to give them a smart-ass remark but I know I'm in the lower position – tied up – and unable to run. The seem smart enough to not spill too much to me, instead leaving everything very hazy and giving me unclear orders. My first instinct is that they would hold me ransom but little snippets on conversation told me they were some kind of dealers.

"Alright little kitty here's the deal. Your father owes us plenty and you my dear are our leverage,"

"He not owe you shit!"

"Oh really? Guess daddy kept his secrets from his precious little family."

No way would my dad know these people, its impossible, he has never lived overseas. Yes he's been on business trips but again they were only for a few weeks at a time. The tallest and presumably oldest guy throws a folder on the table in front of me, spilling its contents, revealing dozens of files about my father and a secret potion organisation he was running.

"This isn't true,"

"Oh you poor stupid gir-"

"Gene he's here"

"Bring him in Zenix,"

The 'Zenix' guy walks through a door and when he comes back in a much older man follows behind. I think my eyes are seeing things because that sure as hell looks like my dad, but he wouldn't come without mom, would he? He looks mad, like really mad but also quite nervous.

"You got me here Gene now, Let. Her. Go."

"In a moment, Sasha bring in our newest member so he can finalize initiation,"

She leaves the room and walks back with an all too familiar person. I didn't know what he was about to do but it was getting serious. I hadn't seen Laurence in a few days and I surely hadn't spoken to him after what he tried to do to me at the dance.

"You see here Zackary, you don't win anything. The deal is we get what you owe us and little Laurence gets her. He paid good money for this and we won't let you get away this time."

Laurence PAID these guys to kidnap me from Mel's party, what the actually fuck, he's gone absolutely bonkers!! I didn't know what was gonna happen next until Laurence pulled a knife from his back pocket while Sasha and Zenix tied my father in ropes just as I was.

"We are going to get what we're owed for doing your dirty work. Refuse and she dies."
