Chapter 52 - Kidnapped .

"LET ME GO YOU, LOUSY BASTARDS!" Rose shouted at the top of her voice.

Archie's men dragged her into the house forcefully.

She wanted to cook Arthur a special dinner so she sneaked out of the house to buy groceries without her bodyguards.

The moment the taxi had left, a group of men in black suits had pulled her into a van and drove off.

She had screamed and struggled but soon a cloth was tied around her mouth to keep her silent.

They dragged her into one of the rooms in the house and locked the door.

Rose looked around the room, it had a rose pattern wallpaper and organized beautifully. The bed was in the middle of the room with a woolen carpet underneath it. Her limbs ached so much after being dragged and pulled forcibly by the kidnappers.

The door of the room soon opened revealing Archie's handsome face that held a smile that always scared her. She unconsciously moved back the moment her eyes fell on his face.

"Ohhh my, we meet again. I hope you missed me as I did?" his smile revealed his perfect front teeth.

"So you the one responsible for this?" she asked.

"I just missed you so much that I wanted to see you, is that bad?" Archie laughed.

"You better tell your men to let me go before Arthur finds out that am missing " Rose shouted.

"Arthur wouldn't be able to find you even when he finds out your gone "

Archie moved towards her pushing her to the wall. His left hand held hers as the other caressed her face. Rose pulled away but he was stronger than her.

Archie arched his face into her hair sniffing it like a dog.

"You really didn't change after all this time " he murmured.

"Get away from me you dog " Rose set free one of her hand and scratched his face.

Archie wobbled to the floor after she jerked him away. His hand moved to his injured face feeling the pain travel through his body.

Out of anger he lurched at her and threw her on the bed. He grabbed her throat as he started to strangle her.

"You crazy bitch, how dare you to do that to my face. Don't think you will stay in that position forever " Archie screamed.

Rose gasped for air as she tried pushing him off her. She felt her eyes sting with tears as her throat started to hurt.

Archie continued to squeeze her neck as the air in her lungs decreased.

Rose saw the room turn dark as she lost consciousness.

Victoria had just arrived at the house they had decided to keep Rose when she saw Archie on top of her.

She ran to the room pulling him off her.

"What the hell are you doing?" Victoria exclaimed.

Archie's eyes had turned red, his breathing sounded like he had run a marathon. His left side of the face hand three scratches dripping blood.

" S...she..did... " Archie could not finish his statement since Victoria slapped him.

"If you can't control your self around her, then please leave before I kick you out my self "

Archie stared at Victoria with nothing to say.

Rose was still on the bed unconscious.

"Get a doctor you can trust to come to see her " She shouted at one of her men. "It hasn't been a day yet but she has already started causing trouble "

Victoria left the room with Archie following behind her. Leaving Rose in the room alone again.

"Why did you do such a thing?" Victoria questioned Archie.

"I don't know what came over me, but after she did this to me I got really angry " Archie remarked.

"You men are just the same, you just can't control yourselves in front of women "

"It depends what type of woman " Archie let out.

Victoria gave him a look and sneered. They had decided to kidnapped Rose together but now she felt like it wasn't a good idea.

Archie looked like a more crazy person than her.

Soon the doctor arrived and gave Rose a check-up. After confirming that she was fine he also treated Archie's scratch marks.

Victoria went into Rose's room, she wasn't awake yet. Her face was pale against her long black scattered hair. Her neck was swollen with two big ugly red prints left behind by Archie's attack on her.

"Now who is protecting you, the last time you were so high and might next to Arthur, but now you look so pitiful without him " Victoria smiled.

Rose opened her eyes and stared right back at Victoria.

"You better let me go or something bad will happen " Rose said in a weak force.

Her neck and throat hurt so much that talking felt like she was opening a wound.

"You still think your that important to him, without you in the picture he will soon forget about you and I will have to raise your son with him " Victoria declared.

Rose coughed and tried to get up. She rested her back against the bedpost and looked at Victoria.

"You should really go back and revise your plan again, cause I personally think it has a lot of flaws. Am not worried even if you take me out of the picture cause I know you will NEVER be able to replace me "

Victoria couldn't take her eyes off Rose after she talked back at her.

"What makes you so confident that I can't take your place... Arthur is a man, after all, it will reach a time when he needs someone by his side and no matter what I did, I know he would be willing to let me in again "

Rose chuckled at her words, smiling she said

"If you were confident enough you would not have to make me disappear to get him back but instead win him back with your charm and beauty ."

Victoria slapped Rose hurt her neck again. Rose didn't let out a scream of pain but stared back at her.

"Victoria you should know that the moment you left him behind he stopped being yours. He moved on and now loves and cherishes what he has right now. So no matter how hard you try he wouldn't come back to you but run further away" Rose advised her.

Victoria shook her head denying the truth that Rose was telling her. She shouted back at her

" I know you just trying to distort my plans but I won't allow it. Am getting Arthur back and your son as a bonus "
