Chapter 24 - Gifts.

"Please someone help me " Verana yelled banging on the door.

She had gathered her strength and moved to the door trying to get out but it was closed. Her body was sweaty and painfully heavy.

"I don't even know who you are ,please let me go " she cried.

The door suddenly opened and the same man from before walked in. He was a glass of water passing it to her.

She had rushed off to the corner of the room far from him.

She didn't take it staring at him .

"Don't worry it not drugged " he smiled.

But she still didn't take it . He chuckled placing it aside.

"You work for him?" She asked.

"Him..and who might that be ?"

"Dalton , my ex-fiance".

He laughed moving closer to her .

"I think you have it confused my beauty , I work for no one but I do have some business with your husband"

Vera frowned .

"Husband ?" She asked.

He nodded ,"Alec Irvine . I was told your still newly wed and I didn't give you any gifts "

"I don't think we want your gifts ' she muttered.

"But your husband will appreciate them for we are friends that is true "

Vera moved further away .

"If you where he would have introduced you already "

He laughed.

"We both know you haven't fully met his whole family of lunatics" he announced.

"Shut up you don't know what your talking about " she yelled back at him.

"Trust me I know more about there family than you do .And let me tell you , you made a terrible mistake marrying into that family ".

Vera glared up at him , "that is my business not yours" .

He chuckled , "Okay , let get you to my wedding presents " grabbing her he led her out of the room.

Pointing to the white door ahead of them, "if you run through that door without being caught by my men then I will let you go " he said.

All she wanted was to leave this place so when he let go of her ,she ran as fast as she could ,even in her weak drugged state.

Pushing with all her strength Vera opened the door ,falling outside of it to the ground.

She felt her body go numb the moment it hit the ground as sound of broken glass filled her ears.

Slowly she lifted her head as the pain drifted through her body , the whole ground was covered in broken glass and when she landed most of her body was pierced by the pieces.

She cried in pain trying to get up then heard laughter behind her.

"You seem to love my first gift " he laughed .

Verana cried in pain with every movement she made.

"Help our bride up and take her to rest ,our first gift seems to have exhausted her " he said to his men .

She felt her body being lifted up and moved but the pain and the drugs in her body caused her to pass out.
