Chapter 31

It's your mother.

I looked at Matthew in shock, I didn't understand what I just heard.

"I understand that we were supposed to do some finding on her before we found ourselves in this mess, so how did she end up here?" I asked him in confusion,

"That I cannot answer, but what I have to say is that your intuition was right all along, she was just pretending not to know you, she's was planning something all along" he said as he flexed his jaw, "those cowards practically used me as their punching bag, bunch of morons,"

"Am really confused Att, why do you think she's working with him, what is she aiming at?.....

"This also means he already knows my father is the Mexican Don, the more reason for him to keep me, am sure he thinks my father sent me," I said as I exhale in exhaustion, am so hungry, now am thinking back to all the times I've deliberately not eaten even though food was just in front of me, I was currently facing "appreciate what you have till you have it no more."

At least I had Matthew with me,...."we are cool right?" I asked him as I stare at his face for his reaction, he gave me a smile then said "am a little shocked, but I understand why you did it, I prefer that am here with you, because I would have been so worried if I didn't know where you are, God, that would have been horrible."

"So how did they manage to get a strong dude like you?" I asked him mockingly, he just shrugged his shoulder before he answered me,

"Well I was driving home when I got surrounded, at first I thought it was an accident because of the way they roughly turned their car, but before I realized that it was a plot, two guys already got in my car because the door was open as I was about coming out to check the commotion, they had their guns pointed at me, another guy came to the window still pointing the gun at me, he motioned for me to leave the drivers seat and I did, like hell, who wouldn't, not when you have three guns pointed at you, they knew that leaving my car on the road would bring questions, so those idiots kidnapped me with my own car,"

I laughed at the way he said the last part with so much bitterness, it was nothing to laugh about but the way he kept his face like he took sour grape, it was funny.

My legs were beginning to itch me as the blood from the burn has started drying on my skin, making my skin to shrink, it wasn't a pleasant sight, I closed my eyes to contain the pain as I started shaking my legs.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he stood up from where he was sitting making his way to me,..." that bastard, look what he has done to your beautiful skin," he said as knelt down and started blowing on the wound, it helped a little but the pain wasn't stopping, I gestured for him to come closer and he did,....."I think he has bottles of alcohols stores in one of those drawers, it could help with cleaning the wound" I whispered as I gestured to him with my head towards where torture weapons of different types were kept.

Matthew made his way towards where I pointed, he opened the first drawer and it was locked, he tried the second the same thing, he then tried two more before one finally opened,.."got it," he said as I saw him raise a bottle up in victory, he quickly made his way back to my form tied on a chair, we found a small piece of cloth as he poured the alcohol on the cloth and cleaned the wound gently, sheesh, it hurts so much, I clenched my fist because of the pain.

After he had cleaned the wound he discarded the cloth as he came back to take my hand,...."feeling better?" he asked, I could see the concern in his eyes like he wanted nothing more than to take away the pain and the pain his eyes also contained knowing he could do nothing.

As a way of lighting the mood of the room I decided to tease him a little,..."damn you stink man, when was the last time you had a bath? I asked wrinkling my nose in fake disgust, he just rolled his eyes at me knowing I was joking.
