"Are you insane!?" She yelled at the top of her lungs.

They were standing on a rooftop of a sixteen story building. Cold and harsh winds bustling past them, flowing her dress in result. The faint sirens of police mobiles with the danger of uniformed cops barging any moment by now wasn't helping at all.

And this stupid asshole was asking her to jump! From this height!?

"Do you trust me?" He looked directly in her brown eyes, asking in a serious tone.

Voices of cops were coming closer, they were asking them to stop.

"Not even a slightest bit!" She snapped.

"Good. Now on the count of three we will jump, okay?... One.." He said holding her hand.

Loud calls and steps can be clearly heard. They were coming closer..

"It is a very bad idea." 

"Two.."

"Can't we just fight with them?"

"Three... Now!" 

And they both jumped..

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

❤️COMPLETED AND TAKEN DOWN ❤️ EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE ON KINDLE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ She sits behind the bushes and can see him comfortably, he is trying to find her by running his eagle eyes everywhere but he is not getting any glimpse of her anywhere. He undone the buttons of cuffs and rolled his shirt up to the elbow and said loudly in anger which sent chills in her spine. "Look, I am telling you very lovingly to come out because if you do not listen to me, the punishment will be very hard ..... again I am saying very hard ..... are you listening....." She covers her mouth with both hands so that no sound can come out at all and starts looking around so that she can run away from there by diverting his attention. She starts moving slowly with absolutely subdued steps But a dry stick comes under her shoes and breaks immediately creating a very loud sound in the environment. He immediately turns towards her, she also sees him, both of their eyes meet each other, and as soon as she realizes he is coming towards her, she quickly starts running away from him because now she is afraid of his anger. But without any delay, he immediately comes in front of her and grabs her hand to cage her in his strong arms and holds her tightly very close to himself so that she can feel his breath on her face, and he eats this distance also and says in a very dangerous tone in her ear. "Nobody can save you from me ...... You are MINE ..... ONLY MINE." She wriggles badly in his arms and he is enjoying her situation with a wicked smile on his face.
