The CEO's Secret

Chapter 7: The Torture Room

Scarlett P.O.V.

He asks his bodyguards to take me inside the house and put me in the dungeon.  I started to full on panic my whole body started shaking. No matter how hard I try my body betrays me by showing them fear. The bodyguard that was standing beside the psycho (that is what I decided to call him) was the one who came to grab me and forcefully drag me inside the house.

He looks like a professional wrestler with his bulging muscle, tattoos on his arms and his stern don’t mess with me face. I suppose all the bodyguards are as fit as him. At first I resisted but stop when he dug his fingers into my arms until flinched. After that I try not to make the guy mad and follow him inside the house.

Once I enter the house the bodyguard quickly drags me down the hall past a kitchen and to the last door in the hallway. But not before I had I good look around the house and I must say Bethany describes the place perfectly that will help in our escape assuming we can distract the guards.

He is smart to get bodyguards this time but it is very bad news for me and Bethany as it will be nearly impossible to escape without being seen.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the guard pushes me inside a room with dim lights so it took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust. I heard the door slam close a click sound indicating that the guard just locked the door.

I check out the room and it is also just like Bethany describes it with nothing inside but a chair, a table. I heard someone call me by my nickname. I double check the room again and nearly choke out a sob.

There in the corner of the room hidden in the dark was Bethany she looks like she had gotten beaten by gangsters. I didn’t see her at first because she is huddle in the corner of the room where there was no light like she was hiding.

I quickly rush to her side. “It really is you” she whispered her voice so soft I had to strain my ears strain my ears to hear her. “Yes! It’s me. My god what did they do to you Beth” my voice cracking in attempt to keep my tears at bay.

She just smile and said “I’m okay”. I know she is trying not to make me worry so much but it only made me more worried about what they did to her. I don’t how she can act so calm after what she must have been through. I did know that Beth was this brave I guess after what she has been through she learn to coup with it.

I took her face in my hands to check how bad her injuries are. A few tears escape my eyes when I assess her face. One of her eyes is swollen shut, her lips are cut open really bad looks like she will need stitches, both her cheeks are also swollen and is a mixture of purple and blue in color, and her nose looks crooked which means there is a fracture in her nose.

I begged her to tell me what happen from the time she was kidnapped till how she got beaten up. She did not want to tell me at first but I persisted and she gave up and told me how it all happens.

Bethany P.O.V.

I did not want to tell Scar about what they put me through but she was stubborn and would not stop asking me until I told her. I did not have the strength to argue with her so I gave up told her what happen from the time I was kidnapped till now.

 

Flash Back

I was just finish with my work and about to drive  home it was around 5:30 when I remember that I forgot something in the office so I got out of the car and quickly made my way to my desk grab the files that I had forgotten and promptly went to my car.

I merely put my staff in backseat of my car was about to go to the driver seat when I felt that someone was behind me. Before I could turn around and scream a hand with some sort of cloth covered my mouth and nose.
