I slowly opened my eyes to a dimly lighted bedroom. I attempted lifting my head up but was accompanied by a head-splitting ache.
I allowed my heavy head to fall back against the wall as it all came back. Now I understand what Dad meant when he told me to be extremely careful. This guy is smart as hell.
The fact that he was able to discover and stop my plan before I could make a reasonable move was torture to my mind, and like that wasn't enough, he had to kidnap me as well.
'Bloody asshole!'
The ropes that were tied around my wrists and ankles were already leaving red marks, making me wonder how long I was asleep.
I turned to the window and saw that the sun was already setting.
*CLICK*CLICK*
The clicking of the door's lock alerted me. The door swung open and 'he' came in with three men that stood by the door.
Though he was undeniably handsome, I couldn't help but stare daggers at him, desperately wishing I could free my hand just to slap the smug grin off his gorgeous face.
"You're finally awake, love," he said and crouched down to eye level. I turned my face aside out of annoyance. Seeing his face only reminded me of my failure.
"I understand that you're angry at the fact that I beat your father up, and kidnapped you, but you'll have to drop that attitude. You're going to be here for a very long time and that ego of yours will make things harder for all of us" he added.
That would have been the perfect moment to deliver a punch if only my hands were free.
He signalled to the men and one of them came forward with a tray which he gave to Don. He placed it on the ground and removed the cover plate to reveal an aromatic meal.
My stomach rumbled immediately.
He picked some of the food with a fork and pointed it to my mouth, but I dodged it.
"Stop being stubborn and eat, love" I still kept dodging it. "Get away from me" I ordered and knocked the fork out of his hand. Annoyance flashed across his face.
He brought his hand to my face, forced my mouth open, and stuffed a spoonful of the meal into my mouth.
I wanted to spit it out, but the heavenly flavor shut my mouth close.
"I can feed myself!" I pouted. He loosened the ropes around my wrists a little, allowing me to eat, and handed the bowl of food to me. He then stood up.
"This will be your room while you are here. I'll allow you to go back to your house tomorrow to pack the rest of your things and come back" he said and walked towards the door.
"Pack my things? Why the f*ck are you keeping me here?" I asked but he didn't answer. He ignored me and walked out of the door, leaving me with one of his men in the room and two more outside the door.
I continued eating until I had cleared the plate. An idea instantly came to my mind.
I threw the plate on the ground hard enough for it to break into different sharp pieces.
I hissed in pain as some pricked me, but concealed it as the bodyguard came towards me.
"Weren't you the one who was in my dad's office with your boss?" I asked as he tightened the rope again. "Yes. Andrew Moore, Don's right-hand man" he replied in a cocky tone.
He then stood up and went towards the window at the sound of a car. I used the opportunity to grab one of the sharp ceramic shards.
"F*ck" I cursed under my breath as it gave me a cut which began bleeding profusely.
I ignored the pain and began cutting the rope with it. Once done, I carefully took it off my hands, cut off the ones around my ankle, and stood up.
I grabbed a vase off a cupboard and knocked him on the head with it.
He groaned while holding his head and turned to me with a flying punch, but I dodged it and delivered one to his abdomen.
The impact made him move back, causing him to hit some other times, making loud noises. He attempted to hit me again, but I caught his hand in time and kicked him in the chest with all the strength I could push to my leg. That was enough for him to fall to the ground coughing out blood.
I groaned too. My legs were sore from walking in heels all day, talk less of fighting in them. I took them off and stretched my feet when the other two men burst inside the room.
"Sit back down Miss, and we promise not to hurt you," one said. "Yes. Don has ordered us not to hurt you in any way, but we'll have to forsake that if you still try to put up a fight" he warned.
I chuckled and threw the vase I used earlier at them. It knocked one of them, but the other one dodged and lunged at me.
I caught his attack in time and delivered another one up his jaw and into his face, making him move back.
The other one snuck up behind me and pulled me by my hair. I gritted my teeth, grabbed his hand, brought him forward, and punched him in the armpit.
He yelled in pain and released his grip on my hair. I took the opportunity to sweep him off his feet resulting in a heavy fall.
The guard left weakly stood up and grabbed my shoulder, but I took his arm and threw him to the ground.
With both of them lying helplessly in pain, I made my escape through the door.
