She drove through the large buildings ,fancy houses all shining under the street lights in the dark night; all rushed past her but she couldn't care less, the words rang in Sarah's head "Mr rover has passed away " the letters were etched on her mind "only half of my revenge is left".
Her heart was racing like a horse, she was almost there, she could see the news vans, police vans news reporters from here they were scattered in the area like fleas on the rotten meat . She couldn't go any further in her car, so she parked her car on the side and went on her feet on the street, the mansion was right in front of her but it was blocked from the reporters screaming "just one statement sir" and clicking pics; hurling camera flashlights at the bodyguard, who were trying there best to stop them. It was a big news, he was the owner of taeyang group.
She pushed through the crowd only to be pushed back by the bodyguards; she wanted to inform Alex, the gunman could have filtrated through the crowd. She was now standing at the back of the crowd staring at the aggressive reporters. She was lost in a daze when someone pulled her hand, she turned around to see the one who pulled her but instead she was met with a hockey stick, that was hit hard on her head. Her world blurred away , she was slowly losing consciousness, she swayed to the side and her head hit hard on the road, but no one noticed her they were all to busy in their world no one was there to save her this time from the gunman. This time there was no running away this . The gunman easily carried her away on his shoulders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her eyes opened slightly as the cold bit at her bare hands, the view was blurry she blinked several times again and again. As her view became clearer and she took in the view she realized there was a rifle aimed at her head. She shrieked on top of her lungs.
"sshh are you going to wake up the whole neighborhood" the gunman spoke lowering the gun
Sarah looked down at her, she was tied on the chair with chains her hands, behind the chair and her legs on the legs of the chair. She tried to move but they were too tight.
"you aren't getting out of those chains unless I wish"
"go to hell" she spat at the gunman.
"after you"
She was in some sort of ware house it had no windows, it was grey and the floor was of concrete, it was completely vacant except for two chairs , one on which she was tied and other on which the gunman was sitting with a rifle in his hands and a pistol in his pocket.
"so let's get down to business shall we" gunman offered
"what do you want" she spoke with bitterness laced in her words.
"how much do you treasure your life"
"what kind of a question is that"
"A simple one" he shrugged
"enough to take your life"
"Ouch, but sad you aren't getting your hands that easily on me" he played with the rifle in his hands.
Sarah could just roll her eyes at that.
"But how about taking Alex's life instead"
Sarah's eyes widened in shock but she endured it. "Nah not interested"
" I bet you are interested" he chuckled "considering the fact your life's on line"
"I won't do it" she simply stated
A loud BANG was heard as the bullet passed right beside her just an inch away and through the wall.
"Does it look like you have a choice" his voice echoed through the room. He stood in front of her with the rifle's muzzle pressed on her head.
She had pushed herself back as much as she could but it was no help.
"so you do as I say and I let you live"
She was silent,too stunned to reply.
"If you don't want to take Alex's life than there is another way" he took out a small glass vial from his pocket: orange liquid danced inside as he shook the bottle in front of her " do you know what this is, it's a poison" her eyes grew as large as plates at the word "now don't worry it won't kill him, it would just.... let's say.." he tapped his finger on the chin as if lost in deep thought and formed a pout on his face ".. yes there is it.....it would just make him fall asleep like in snow white, have you seen that movie, isn't it beautiful I like the the evil queen's character best" he now circled around her, one hand still gripping on the gun and moving the other hand around "you know why I like her more than that petty girl because you know sometimes you have to take back what's yours, even if you have to use evil ways, I feel empathetic to her you see :she wanted to remain the most beautiful in the world but then the snow white took over her title; same goes with me I wanted to be the owner of that company but Alex was taking over my tile, now that's not fair is it"
Sarah's eyes stayed on his gun she was one edge every time he brought the gun near her while moving his hand her heartbeat irrationally increased.
"now back to business" he abruptly changed the topic going back towards his seat he sat down there. She let out a breath that she didn't realize she was holding "you see this" he showed her the vial "all you have to do is give this shot to him and bring his unconscious body to me, simple isn't it" he jerked his eyebrows up.
"what's the guarantee that you will let me live if I do this" she finally spoke up after the gunfire.
"oh I am a man of my word,but don't you dare try to be smart with me" he warned her ' you see I have my eyes all over the city and you see that bracelet around your hand it has a microphone inside it, so don't even think about over smarting me" her attention was now on the jet black bracelet around her wrist that had a red light blinking in the middle indicating that the microphone was indeed working.
One thing she know knew for a fact she was trapped from everywhere, if she turned to the left side there was a deep ditch if she turned to the right there was a sea, and there was no other way she couldn't trust the gunman with her life he was a devil in disguise or an evil stepmother as he thought of himself. She had to find a way to stay alive and to help Alex if the gunman took over the company he would become powerful and go around terrorizing the world.
