CHAPTER 48

I did as I was instructed. My mind was for once following someone else's orders and my heart was getting number and number. I was forcing my legs out of the doors of the building that seemed like a safe heaven right now and towards the black limo that I saw parked right in front of me. A largely built up man got out of the passenger seat and stood beside the car. He looked like a normal person, dressed up in a formal suit with an expressionless face, like every other corporate slave. You couldn't tell the horrible things he had done to God knows how many innocent people but I could totally feel it just looking into his eyes. They were dark, emotionless....inhumane.

As I crossed the street and reached the car, he opened the door for me without saying a word. I took a shaky step forward. I knew once I get inside this car there was a ninety nine percent chance I wasn't going to come out alive. But I still was willing to do it because that's how love and affection works. I loved John like my father and he would not have been in this position if it wasn't for me, I could not let him down.

"Mam." The man finally spoke and for some weird reason the sound of voice coming out of his mouth threw me off guard but it was good to know my kidnappers were chivalrous.

"I would need you to hand over your phone." He spoke in a completely bland tone.

"W....Why?"

"Orders from the boss. Please co-operate."

"Not that I have any other option at the moment." I handed my phone to him and with it my last hope of survival. I got into the car and he closed the door. The glasses were all black, I could not see where I was headed to so I sat down quietly and waited for what was next to come and prayed that my father and Ryder would notice my absence sooner than later. That dickhead decided to drop his stalker issues the day I needed him to stalk me.

I don't know how long have I been in this car surrounded by complete silence and I cursed at myself for not wearing my otherwise useless smart watch today when I actually needed it, but my mind kept racing and thinking of ways to get out of this situation. After like around ten more minutes, the limo came to a halt. The same man opened the car door for me and with a shaking breath, I got out. I looked around in all directions as soon as I got out trying to gauge little sense as to where I was but it seem like I was at some abandoned house near the outskirts of the city. Great, now no one is ever going to find me.

"This way." The man spoke in his dark stoic voice and walked ahead of me. With a shaky step, I followed him and then noticed two other men were walking behind me. They were both dressed in black suits but none of them had any guns. That's a good sign, right?

I guess I spoke a little too soon. As soon as we reached the front gate, I realized how affective of a security system this abandoned almost collapsing bungalow had. This wasn't some random place. This was one of their houses in the city. One good thing was there weren't as many men standing with loaded guns as I expected. By far I only spotted five. So maybe it was like a hiding spot? I don't know, I am so confused. Dad would know all about his ex- best friend's illegal business spots, right?

Yes Katherine, like Richard Black is so stupid.

I kept following the man who brought me here and with every step my heart was racing faster and faster. I could literally hear the sound of my own heartbeat and the footsteps of the men behind me reminding me that I could not really turn around and run away. Finally we came to a stop in front of white wooden door. At first I thought he would lead me straight to Richard so he could be done with me as soon as he could but when the man pushed opened the door and I stepped in after him, I realized he had other plans for me.
