Vanessa's POV:
I opened my eyes to check the surroundings praying to god that I am back home, sleeping in my bed. But I am in the same dark dungeon I was in three days ago with my hands and legs tied with a rope. My lips are parched and dry because of the lack of water. My throat burns and my head feels dizzy. Everything was black and blurry around me. The burning sensation in my hands, now subsided. I did everything to free myself, wriggling my hands to break free from the rope, screaming and kicking but nothing worked. But now I gave up...
The door opened, then he entered.
I turned my head to see his face but due to the darkness, I could not make anything.
"Ah, you are awake, little princess," He said as he circled me.
"Leave me please," I begged, my throat hurting from all the screaming I had done in the past three days.
"Yeah sure, I will leave you I promise, but not before I destroy you," He said in a sinister tone and grabbed my neck, tightening his grip around it. But I know he will not kill me, not now, this is what he was doing from three days. Every day he comes, threatens me, chokes me and then try drugs on me.
I gasped for air as he cut of my air supply and he loosened his grip.
"You know you look so good when you gasp for air," He said.
"Please leave me. What did I do? I want to go home," I plead as my eyes fill up with tears and soon I started crying.
"You want to go home, but that was burnt in ashes, you don't remember the blast, want me to play the video," He said making a tsk tsk sound. My home, that blast and the death of my parents I remember everything. I started to cry more as I remembered everything that happened in the past few days.
"Stop crying bitch" He shouted, I flinched at his outburst.
"My mad son loves you or else I would have sold you at a high price," I shuddered thinking about this. His son? Love? What does he mean?
"But I will destroy you so much that he will stop loving you the moment he will see you," He started laughing like a maniac.
"What do you mean by your son?" I ask in a whisper.
"You don't know my son, oh stop kidding now, you know him very well that's the reason you seduced him so that you and that father of your's can take benefit of me, but I killed your father haha," He laughed again.
"Leave me please," I begged him again now, scared to the core. He can do anything, no one will come to save me. I am expecting worse what if he tries to sexually assault me, he said he will destroy me does that mean he will... My body started shaking as the worst thoughts crossed my mind.
"I said stop bitch," He said and slapped me across the face, a thick liquid dropped from the corner of my mouth giving a metallic taste.
He harshly yanked me by my hairs and I screamed in pain receiving one more slap.
"Today we will test Blue Vixen on you," I froze, my heart started beating at a fast pace.
He tested blue vixen in front of me the other day on a man. That scene was gut-churning, his hand turned blue where they injected the drug and his screams told me about the amount of pain he was going through. He ended up dying in front of me coughing blood and screaming.
"No please don't do that to me," My tears continuously flowed down, my heart thumping in my chest ready to come out anytime. I don't want to die, not like that, that was a painful death.
"Oh sorry, princess but I am the one who decides what's gonna happen," He said and called his man to bring the drug.
They removed the ropes from my hands to inject the drug but I wriggled in their grip kicking and screaming doing anything which can save me. He slaps me hard again but I don't stop struggling. He grabs me by my neck and blocks my windpipe making me fall in a dark abyss. I hear someone calling my name a familiar voice as I fall deeper. But it was too late.
My eyes flutter open because of the nightmare, I immediately regret it as the white lights blinded my eyes and my head pounded as someone hit me with a hammer. I closed my eyes once again and then slowly opened them, adjusting to the light and gazing at the white ceiling on top. I slowly turned my head to my left to take in the unfamiliar surroundings. It was not a hospital room. My hand had an IV drip attached to it. I was wearing a hospital gown. My left shoulder hurts when I tried to sit up. The memories of the blast and then the bullet came flooding back. I remembered the green eyes I saw before I passed out, they were familiar but my mind was foggy and thinking about that day wasn't helping much.
My right hand was feeling warm and sweaty like someone was holding it. So, I turned my head and saw someone sleeping with his head on the bed while holding my hand. His hair colour was light brown that seemed familiar to me. I gave his hand a little squeeze to wake him up.
He stirs a little but then shots up awake. His green eyes meet mine with a hint of concern. But soon a billion dollar smile makes its way on his lips. I can tell from his messy appearance that he just fell asleep.
"Are you ok?" He asked as he helped me to sit up. I winced slightly as my left shoulder hurts. I had already noticed the bandage around my head and shoulder.
I nod my head. He looked like he remembered something and then passed a glass of water towards me from the bedside stand with an apologetic smile.
I drank the whole glass in one go. I unconsciously shivered at the thought of anything happening to Duke after I passed out. Where I was? and Why Zain was here instead of Duke was more confusing.
"Vane, are you in pain? Your shoulder does it hurt? Wait let me call the doctor." Zain was slightly panicked. He moved away from my side to call the doctor. I almost instantly grabbed his hand before I could stop myself.
"I am ok. Where is Duke?" I asked him my voice came out hoarse. My head was pounding a bit but I ignored it. He stared at my hand and then in my eyes. Concern, pain, hurt and love was visible in his eyes. At that moment, I did not question it. It seemed natural like it was before the blast in which my parents died.
"Um, he said he had some work, he will come by the evening," He replied before shoving his hands in his pockets.
I wanted to sit there and admire him for looking effortlessly handsome. Although I knew he was the one who caught me that day I would not let my guard down, his parents were the ones who killed my parents. His father kidnapped me and tested drugs on me. I am not sure but there is no reason I would believe him. He betrayed me. He betrayed us.
"Mr Adams where am I?"
I cleared my throat and asked him. My eyes searched his face; it was void of emotion. We both not breaking the eye contact stared in each other's eyes, trying to finding answers of unasked questions.
