Chapter 18 - Captured

I couldn't believe my eyes as I stood there, locked in a tense stare with this mysterious woman named Olivia. The atmosphere was thick with tension, and I couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and apprehension. Who was she, and what did she want?

Olivia finally broke the silence, introducing herself as Olivia. It seemed odd that she would start talking about flowers at a time like this, but I quickly realized that she was trying to divert the conversation away from the real issue at hand. I couldn't let her get away with that.

Interrupting her, I firmly told Olivia to cut to the chase. I needed to know why she was here and what she wanted from me. There was no time for small talk or beating around the bush.

With a deep breath, Olivia finally revealed the truth. She claimed to be Brian's fiancée. My ex-husband's fiancée? The words hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt a mix of shock, anger, and confusion all at once.

How could Brian move on so quickly? We had only recently finalized our divorce, and now he was engaged to someone else? It felt like a betrayal, a slap in the face. I couldn't help but wonder if he had been seeing Olivia while we were still married.

As these thoughts raced through my mind, I couldn't help but feel a surge of determination. I refused to let Olivia's presence and her revelation shake me. I had moved on from Brian, and I was building a new life for myself. I wouldn't let his choices define me or my happiness.

Taking a deep breath, I looked Olivia straight in the eye. "Well, Olivia," I said, my voice steady and firm. "Congratulations to you and Brian. I hope you both find the happiness you're looking for." With that, I turned on my heel and walked away, leaving Olivia standing there, stunned.

As I walked away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of danger it seems that there was something everyone has been hiding from me. Olivia's presence had stirred up old emotions, what was Brian hiding? It was too soon to hear the whole details from Olivia I didn't want to put my baby in any danger.

I decided to stroll round the street to take my mind off everything that was happening.

I slowly opened my eyes, my head throbbing with pain. As my vision cleared, I realized I was in an unfamiliar room, handcuffed to a chair. Panic surged through me as I tried to recall how I ended up in this situation.

The last thing I remembered was walking down the street, minding my own business. I had noticed a black van following me from a distance, but I didn't think much of it at first. However, as I continued walking, a sense of unease crept over me, and I quickened my pace.

Suddenly, a forceful blow struck me from behind, sending me crashing to the ground. The impact was so intense that it knocked me unconscious. When I regained consciousness, I found myself in this mysterious mansion, surrounded by unknown faces.

My heart raced as I surveyed the room. It was grand, with high ceilings and opulent decor. The air felt heavy with an eerie silence, broken only by the sound of my own breathing. Fear gripped me tightly, but I knew I had to stay calm and assess the situation.

I strained against the handcuffs, testing their strength. They were tight, restricting my movements and leaving me feeling vulnerable. I scanned the room for any possible means of escape, but it seemed like an impossible task. The windows were barred, and the door was securely locked.

My mind raced, desperately searching for answers. Who were these people? What did they want with me? Questions flooded my thoughts, but I had no answers. All I knew was that I needed to find a way out, to escape this terrifying ordeal.

As I sat there, my mind began to wander, recalling the events leading up to this nightmare. I couldn't help but wonder if I had been targeted specifically or if I was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
