Chapter 28 - Secrets and Betrayal part 2

Maa sat me down before my 22nd birthday and told me that I had to escape from this house before midnight. I had a simple plan in my mind. Back gate of the mansion was usually deserted and Maa arranged a ladder near the back wall for me to climb. I just had to cross it and go to D-group hotel built near our house at the reception I had to ask them for Mitchel Diablo and may be I could meet them. It was a rough plan but I had an additional layer of protection. I mailed my uncle everything about my plan day before my run. I hoped he will meet me at the reception or I had the plan B to continue my life as a hacker. Only problem was I had never lived outside the mansion and I was worried I might suffer there more.

I had already asked Alexa to arrange transportation to D-group and Maa had convinced Decker to elope with her apparently Decker and Maa truly loved each other. Everything was ready to go. I packed my bag which contained some money, my degrees and some identity card with mobile and laptop.

I sneaked behind the house at 11:30 pm and quietly jumped over the wall. All the while I was thinking why was it so quiet in the main mansion but I ignored my instincts and jumped over the wall. Alexa was there waiting for me. I never met her face to face since I left the school but for last 10 years but daily we used to talk in phone. I felt very proud for finding such a friend. How naive I was.

When I looked at Alexa she was completely changed her usual innocent look changed to a woman with rich wardrobe and beautiful make up. I was shocked looking at her. But she just pulled me to her car instead of hugging me or atleast showing happiness meeting me after so many different years. I was confused, was she the same girl that I met in school. I was worried about this when car started moving. I had a rush of adrenaline and a panic came over me. I had to get out of the car.

When I tried to open the door of the car it was locked. Now I knew something was very wrong. I heard her chuckling beside me she lit a cigarette and said " no need to worry dear, we are just going to have some fun". I felt the prick in my arms and everything faded to darkness. When I woke up I was already abducted and put inside a cage. Two days passed when nothing happened. I was given no water or food my hands were numb from cold and hunger made my stomach growl, when footsteps came for me.
