The Arranged Bride

Chapter - 38

Sophia's POV

My head was hurting so bad but I couldn't bring up my hand to hold my head. My hands and feet felt numb. With a lot of struggle I opened my eyes to meet with a dark wall in front of me. I was racking my brain to find out how I landed here but couldn't remember a thing . I felt extremely drowsy and darkness consumed me again before I knew it.

Next time when I opened my eyes , I was in the same place but this time I remembered everything. Walking out of the restaurant and getting kidnapped.

Ethan! My poor baby. Was he missing me ? He gets scared when I am not there for a few hours and I don't know for how long I have been here. He must be thinking that I have left him. I hope Nick can handle him.

Nick !? Was he fine? He should be right ? Did they take only me?

I was lying on the floor in the middle of a dark room. My hands and feet were tied which explains the numbness. My back was badly aching for being in that position for God knows how long. I sat up with a lot of efforts.

I guess they had injected me with some sort of sedatives. I couldn't keep my eyes open. My eyelids felt heavy .

I tried looking here and there to find an escape but the room had no window. I couldn't move my hands a bit because of how tight the ropes were gripping my wrists. Honestly, I was scared. I didn't know what I was going to deal with. Was he going to sell my organs ? Was he going to rape me ? I shuddered at the thought. Will Nick find me? The throbbing in my head was worsening.

Just then the door creaked open, causing my eyes to hurt from the sudden brightness. I could guess a female figure standing at the door. I squinted my eyes to get a better look. Suddenly a light in the room was switched on. Unable to adjust to the sudden illumination, I closed my eyes and blinked several times before looking at the presence and whom I saw had me shocked.

" Christina." A faint inaudible whisper left my lips . But the wicked smirk which appeared on her face was enough evidence that she had heard it.

" Shocked , are we ?" Her high pitched voice filled the room.

She walked towards me in a slow pace, swaying her hips from side to side.

She crouched down in front of me and brought up a finger, touching my face.

" Now now Princess , what did you think ? " She spoke while dragging the finger along my face with a sadistic smile on her face and all of a sudden fisted my hair in her hand in a painful grip. I couldn’t help but groan in pain.

" You will walk away with Nick and I will let you ?" She slapped me hard across my face. I felt a metallic taste in my mouth. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She started laughing maniacally and walked a bit away.

" We were dating and I know he loved me ." She dreamily stared in front of her. My mouth itched to tell her how he never felt anything for her but I knew better than to irk her now.

" But you !" I winced at her shrill voice. " You came between us and destroyed everything." She kicked my stomach hard . I curled up my body as much as possible ,in an attempt to reduce a bit of pain. Tears escaped my eyes but I didn't make a sound. I was sensible enough to not go bat shit crazy and scream profanities at her and get more bruised.

" You just walked in someday and he dumped me like that. All because of you." She again kicked my stomach . I cried out in pain.

" Don't worry. You're going to pay for everything. I will take my revenge... But for now I got you food. See , I am not a bad host."

A man on cue entered the room with a plate . He placed it on the floor and came behind me to open my hands and then legs. I slowly brought up my hands and massaged my wrists to reduce the numbness .

The plate was pushed in front of me.

" Eat." I looked away , staring at the blank wall. I knew not to defy her when I was practically at her mercy but I was not in a state to swallow dry bread.

She once again crouched down in front of me and spoke.

" Honestly , I don't care if you die out of starvation. But you know , I got to hand you over alive. " I snapped my head towards her faster than I could imagine.

Hand over !? She was going to sell me ? To whom ?

I looked at her with questioning gaze bit she ignored me.

She gripped my jaws hard and hissed at me.

" So better eat before I make you."

I was made to swallow the piece of bread and I was given a glass of water. But luckily they didn't tie me up before leaving.

If they knew that I couldn't escape then why the hell did they tie me up previously? To add effect to the whole kidnapping thing?

I honestly hated Nick for ever hooking with such a psychopath. Crawling back to the wall, I pulled my knees to my chest and leaned my head back , supporting on the wall. I didn't know how long it has been since I have met my family and now she was most probably going to sell me. But wasn't that going to be a news, if she does? I can't be sold off to be a stripper somewhere because many people knew me due to my marriage with Nick.

God knows what my fate has in store for me. I wasn't sure if I was going to ever meet Nick and Ethan again. Do my parents know about me getting kidnapped? Were they worried about me. I can't lie that I didn't want anyone to worry about me. I wanted someone to find me and get me out of this sadistic bitch's clutch.

All these thoughts were truly messing with my head. I was feeling so many emotions at the same time. I was angry , sad and mostly scared. In spite of my desperate attempts at staying awake , I was drifting off into darkness again. My last thoughts were about Nick. I knew and hoped that he would try to find me.

Help me Nick.
