Chapter 16
Before i could comprehend what was happening, our lips crashed and i was sent into a frenzy. I could feel the butterflies in my belly go crazy as his tongue slipped in my mouth and as our lips moved.
"Just be careful so you won't end up like me" bianca's words slowly made its way into my mind, hence a pause.
"What's wrong vy" he asked with his hands still on my waist.
"You still haven't told me what happened at the hotel"
"I told you to drop it vy" he said, shifting his gaze back to my lips.i sighed and stood up from his laps and sat opposite him in the pool.
"I know were you went" i stated after a while.
"What are you talking about?" He asked with brows raised.
"You went to some kind of cellar, i followed you, so tell me what's going on.
"What? You followed me?" He asked slighty raising his voice
"Yes be cause you keep refusing to tell me anything. I could have found out what happened if i hadn't gone back, so tell me" i yelled back. Im tired of being kept in the dark.
"I'll tell you when the time is right evita " he said leaving the pool.
"Please killian" i pleaded. He halted for a while before turning back to me.
"Its mr lockewood to you, miss valkov". I don't want to admit it but it really hurt when he said that. I felt....used
"Go get some rest evita" he said and left.

"I have absolutely no idea why I've been sulking since i got here,this place is amazing" i thought as i walked through the corridors in this massive house. Woow, marvelous. Its decided, I'll sit back, relax and enjoy the trip. I'm not letting anything or any one get to me again. The sound of my phone got my attention. Its a text from rolland.
R: hey cutie, how's it going
E: I'm good. How's everyone
R: we all good, how's things with killian😉
E: we are not on speaking terms right now...don't ask.😑
R: alright, just make sure you sort things out,and always remember he has a reason for everything. Also, be patient with him.
E: thanks rolland, your the best.😊
R: i know, see you soon, love you😚.
Roland is right, i should be patient with him, he probably has a reason for not telling me. When he wants to, he will. For now, I'll act like i dont care. I went down to the kitchen to fix myself breakfast by 2pm, cus i woke up extremely late. The drawers and fridge was stocked but i still couldnt find something to eat. I groaned as i rummage through the stuff in the kitchen cabinet. when mr lockewood's voice called out.
"Lets eat out" i turned my head to look at him, he looked effortlessly gorgeous resting on the kitchen island . If he thinks he can make it up to me by looking beautiful and offering food to me then he's right and wrong at the same time. He's right because i love food and he's wrong beacuse its him, i wont forgive him so easily. I rolled my eyes at him and turned my attention back to the cabinet.
"No thanks, im good and plus i don't feel like leaving the house" i said without looking at him.
"Okay. I'll be back soon, don't leave the house, and if anything happens, call me immediately...not that anything is likelyto happen but still. Do you understand? " he asked. Yes go on and eat without me. So heartless of you, couldnt even persuade me a bit.
"Okay, i will" i know i should be patient with him but it seems it's going to be hard for me to do.

I know i should tell evita about everything, but im well aware she would freak out if she knows about it. I haven't even told her, yet she's so restless, what will she do when i do? The sounds from downstairs got my attention, so i immediately to Went to check it out. To my utmost surprise, it was evita. It seems like she's looking for something to eat. I don't know why she's looking so hard because the fridge is stocked.
"Let's eat out" i said even though i knew there was a high chance she would say no.
"No thanks, im good" she said just as i predicted. Now Im left with the second choice.
"Okay, I'll be back soon, don't leave the house, and if anything happens, call me immediately...not that anything is likelyto happen but still. Do you understand?" I said and left.

Its 3.30pm already and Mr lockewood is no where to be found. My stomach growled loudly and i groaned in pain.
"Why did i bother waiting for him? What if he doesn't get me anything to eat? Nahh he will..but what if he doesn't tho? My thoughts scattered all over the place until i decided to finally give him a call. He picked up After two rings.
Evita: where are you?
Killian:why, is something the matter?
"I can't tell him im waiting for the food tho" i thought
Evita: no nothing, i was just wondering when you'll be back since we have a meeting by 5pm.
Killian: the meeting has been cancelled, i won't be back anytime soon so don't wait for me.
He said and ended the call. What was i even thinking. It seems im going after all. with whatever energy i had left, i dashed upstairs to get changed into a deep tank top with a black jacket and a matching pants, alongside white nike sneakers. I decided to wear a face cap also. I went back down picked one of the car keys, and got in the car. I dont know any where here in spain so I'll use this chance to explore the place.
I drove out of the house and down the street for a while looking side by side until i came across a restaurant called viana. I walked in and ordered for their famous meal and went to have my sit.
"I should take a picture for keepsake"
I took three picture with different poses. While i was checking them, i noticed a man in blacking sitting behind me. I switched back to my camera and he was taking glances at me. That's very strange. I should call mr lockewood
I immediate left to make the call outside. I dialed mr lockewood's contact but before he could answer, a black cloth was wrapped around my head. I tried to struggle with whoever it was but he was too strong. "Hurry, bring her in" i heard someone call from afar. I dropped my phone in hopes that killian would find me.
"Please let me go, i think you have the wrong person" i tried to plead with them but they only came out muffled because of the thick cloth placed around my head. I was finding it very difficult to breathe and my eyes stinged because of my sweat dribbled into them.
I could hear my heart beat and my breath in my ear. I shouldn't have left the house. Im going to die.
"Please" i whispered as tears poured down unto my cheeks.
"Keep quiet or else I'll inject you" one of them said violently hitting me on the head with something. I winced in pain and kept quiet.
Is this why Bianca told me to be careful?I should have called her. I kept struggling and struggling with the men holding me. The car stunk of cigarette and alcohol. I couldn't even decipher what they were talking about because they were speaking spanish.

"How long will it take to make all your most popular dish? And how much?" I asked the lady attending to me.
"Hmnn about two hours sir, and it costs...780 dollars in total sir" i got my wallet and handed her some money.
"Here, make it in an hour" she took the cash and counted it.
"But this is two thousand dollars sir".
" make it quick" I said and got went to have my sit. This is going to take a while i sighed.
I was going through some documents rolland had sent to me when evita's name popped up on my screen. I checked the time and realized it's been an hour and thirty minutes since i left the house. Driving here took an hour and its been 30minutes since i placed the order....She must be starving.
"Yes?" I said once I picked the call
" where are you?" She asked
"why, is something the matter? I asked her, i can't let her know what im doing. She'll be so surprised when i get back.
"no nothing, i was just wondering when you'll be back since we have a meeting by 5pm." She said but i knew better.
" the meeting has been cancelled, i won't be back anytime soon so don't wait for me" I said and ended the call. So brilliant of me, im sure once i get back, she'll forgive me in an instant because Im awesome. I continued going through the documents and about 5 minutes later, miss valkov called again.
"Miss valkov i told you not to wait for me, what's the problem now?" I asked but got nothing in response.
"Are you there? Is something the matter? Miss valkov!" I yelled. I could only hear the sound of cars and bikes. It means she's not in the house.
"Miss valkov if you can hear me, just stay where you are...I'm coming....miss valkov" i ran out of the restaurant without ending the call
"Hello?" A man said from the other end. He must have picked up the phone.
"Yes, where are you? Tell me the name of the place where you found this phone? " i asked and drove out of the restaurant.
****
I have checked everywhere but miss valkov is no where to be found. She must have come here to get some food. It was so foolish of me to tell her I wasn't coming... this is all my fault. Jonas name popped up on my phone screen and i answered immediately.
"Anything?"
"I was able to access the cctv footage and some guys took her, they went towards an abandoned building but she wasn't with them when she wasn't with them when they got out" he said.
"That means they must have dropped her somewhere, where is the place located?" I said and got into my car.

My consciousness slowly came back to me but I find it hard to move a muscle talk less of standing up. My head and my whole body was throbbing in pain. I slowly moved my hand to remove the cloth over my head. The place was dark but I could see light far ahead. I should head towards the light, some one might find me then. But what if those people find me again? I don't think they will...since they let me go. I slowly stood up and crawled towards the lights. It was a road, if i stay by the side, maybe someone might help. "I can do this, don't give up, you can do this evita, someone will come. You can do this" I kept chanting those words in my head as i crawled. My wrists and ankles were bleeding, now my knees and palm will bleed to. I don't really mind, as long as i survive. Hot tears formed in my eyes and i aggressively wiped them off. You can't be weak now. You have to be strong. For lilly, you have to be there for her. After few minutes of crawling, i finally reaches the road side and i drifted out of consciousness again.

I have been driving for more than 2 hours now but still no where to be found. This is all my fault. Its my fault. The sound of my phone got my attention, it was Jonas. I had asked him to search the area with the chopper. I answered the phone and put in my earpod.
"Sir, i found her" he said immediately I answered.
"Where is she?" I asked as i packed by the side of the road.
"You are very close to her sir, just minute ahead, she's by the road side" he said and i hung up. I sped off and in few seconds i found her, laying lifeless on the ground. I hurriedly parked the car and rushed to her.
"Miss valkov! Miss valkov!! Open your eyes...I'm Here miss valkov"
"Mr locke.." she said weakly
"Yes, it's me. I'm here. You'll be fine, you'll be fine evita" I whispered as i carried her in my arms and into the car. I gently placed her in the passenger's seat, fastened her seatbelt and got in the car. The nearest hospital from here is about 15 minutes away. I drove as fast as i could through the traffic.
"Miss valkov, try to stay awake, you'll be fine, we are at the hospital already" i whispered to her as i drove into the parking lot. Miss valkov was sitting limp on the chair, she only muttered few words once a while.
I took her into my arms and rushed her into the hospital. Immediately i got in, the nurses brought a stretcher and took her away.
"You have to fill some forms sir" one of the nurses said
"But I have to be with her" I yelled
"Don't worry, she's in safe hands, she'll be fine" she said and directed me to the reception.
I filled the necessary forms and went to the emergency unit where they had taken her. She was still in the room and i had no idea what condition she was in.
