Chapter 17
"We should just bloody sedate her." One of them said sitting down alongside the other.
"Let me the fuck out right this minute," Dawn shouted standing to her feet, she could see the rifles with them but she figured maybe they were Stephan's men and they would at least listen to her. The other man reached out for her hair and this time with a heavy slap to her face, Olivia had once slapped her but this slap was from a man and it was much worst, she found herself on the floor touching her face immediately.
"I don't think she needs a sedative," the man said squatting down to her level on the ground.
"Scar just give her one, okay, am not in the mood for your sicko games." The other spoke removing his mask and Dawn realized she was a young lady not a man but had been wearing some voice stuff that tuned her voice to sound like a man, the other took his mask off as well, and Dawn realized why they called him scar. He had like a burnt mark on his cheek.
He keep staring at her, while the other lady brought out water from her bag pack to drink. "Please, let me go I am not who you are..."
Smack! Smack!
She got another slap again, this time on both cheek, with his front and back hand. Dawn couldn't hold herself back anymore she had never been roughed handled like this before, she felt her eyes become teary and the taste of blood inside of her mouth and on her tongue, for a second she felt dizzy from the impact, before she could recover, she felt Scar pull her hair back and slapped her twice on both cheeks again, more harder than before that it echoed in the van. The slap echoed so loud, that Dawn ears started to ring from the effect, she felt tears falling from her eyes but she no sound of sobbing came from her mouth, she had to stay strong. This weren't Stephan's men, was Stephan really mad at her that he would try to hurt her like this.
"Not so tough now, are we?" Scar asked with a smile, he stood up satisfied with the signs of his finger prints on her face.
Dawn decided to keep quiet, she realized if she talked she would only get beaten by this lunatic and her face were already red and swollen from the slap. She tried to shift back away from him but before she could, she felt Scar boot on her face really hard as she fell unconscious.
Dawn opened her eyes slowly but she couldn't see properly, everything felt blurry and dark, her eyes were failing her, she could see shadows but she couldn't make sense of it, she tried to raise her hands to clean her eyes but she couldn't, she felt paralyzed, weak and lifeless.
"Is he still coming or not? I have better things to do." She heard a voice talking but she couldn't see anything, why was she like this? Why couldn't she move herself?
"I think she is awake."
"Are you awake angel?" she felt a boot on her stomach twice as blood gushed out of her mouth, she tried to talk, to pleaded but she couldn't, she just sobbed inwardly. Why was this happening to her? What did she do to deserve this? She hadn't done anything wrong of late, so why? If it was money they needed, then how much?
She wanted to ask, but her breathe was failing her, she felt someone grab her by the wrist, poking her with something, as she felt something enter her vein, they were drugging her.
"Remember the boss wants her alive, not dead. That enough, she already looks like a dead fish... we won't get paid for a dead fish."
"S... te..."
"I think she is saying something." She felt a shadow over her, moving closer. She felt something cave in as something pressed on her lips, she figured it was the person's ear, she wanted to bite it and rip it off, but she was so weak, she felt she would die.
"Step...phan," she whispered with all her strength as she felt blood drooling down the side of her lips, she didn't know why but that was the only thing that was coming to her head, why was that bastard name in her head. "She said Stephan."
"Who gives a fuck about what she is saying? For all we know that might be her lover?"
"He might be a wealthy lover."
Maybe she could bargain, Stephan was one of the richest man currently.
"K.......ar," she muttered again with the little strength she had, she was already feeling whatever they injected her with, taking absolute control of her body as she zoned out slowly, she wasn't going to die, but she felt like she would. She heard a voice asking her if it was Stephan Kent or Klar but she couldn't bring herself to say anything as she went into an unconscious state.
"Sleeping beauty," Dawn heard has a bucket of water was poured over her head continuously. She jerked up from her unconscious state immediately and this time she could see a bit, it was the girl from the van.
"Is it Stephan Kent or Klar and is it the Klar."
"K...Lar...klar...the... Kl...ar."
Dawn tried to look around but she felt dizzy and didn't bother trying anymore, all her body ached all over, like she had been beaten severely, she felt her left eyes was really heavy, she knew she was sited up on some wood like floor but that was all she could guess even her brain was messed up right now, she couldn't think straight.
"Hey," the lady yelled slapping her cheeks. "Stay awake, we are not done, don't you want to get the fuck out of here."
Of course she wanted to stay awake but the more she tried, the more she couldn't, she felt sleepy and intoxicated.
"I am going to try to get your phone, so you can call him, if you are lying I swear I will kill you myself." The lady warned. "Nod, if you understand."
It took some seconds for Dawn to be able to raise her head up and nod, she raised it slowly as it fell to the side lifeless. It wasn't a nod but it was good enough for the lady.
"Stay here and don't misbehave, if they move you from here, I won't be able to reach you and that means I won't be able to help you."
Yes, Dawn wanted to answer but she just opened her eyes at interval and shot it back. She wasn't Stephan's woman but if that was what would get her out of here then she was his. It seemed they were not sent by Stephan, but by who? And Stephan seemed to be very popular for the lady to want to risk helping her, she was sure she would demand for money.
Since she already had a contract with Stephan, it was also stated that she could make any request, it was a risky decision but right now getting out of here felt more important than any stupid contract.
"Come on, stay awake." She heard the lady voice again, didn't she just leave, how she was back so quickly, baffled Dawn. "Where is his number?"
She didn't have Stephan's number but Matteo had called her once, as well as Stephan's secretary, she prayed in her heart that it would go.
"What is your name?" she tried again to answer but felt weak as water splashed on her face again. "Stay fucking awake," a tight slap followed, it was so hard, Dawn eyes widened but nothing. She wasn't feeling closer to wake up. "Dawn."
The lady dialed the first number but nothing, then she heard another ring.
"Hello, this is Klar Company. How may I help you?"
"I would love to talk to Mr. Stephan Klar, on behalf of Miss Dawn."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, Dawn figured they were connecting the line to Stephan's line.
"Do you have an appointment with him?"
What? She remember meeting Stephan's secretary once in his office and the glare she had given her. This wasn't the time for competing bitch.
"I said Miss Dawn..."

"I heard you, and I am asking if you have an appointment, if you don't have one, stop wasting my time."
The line disconnected and a tight slap landed on Dawn face, this time not to wake her up but from annoyance. Dawn sobbed slowly.
"What the hell are you doing?" she heard a voice say."Bag her, we are going to throw her off the bridge."
Stephan loosened the tie on his neck as he leaned into his couch in his office, he and Matteo had been off for a week to Las Vegas. He had told Dawn to come over today because he knew he did be back from his business trip today but he hadn't heard from her all day, it was almost closing hours.
He had missed her sharp mouth and her feisty attitude, it was something new to him, something he hadn't experienced before, he was looking forward to seeing her, probably even getting on her nerves a bit and listening to her call him all sort of names. For the first time, he didn't want to sleep with a woman, he just wanted to sit down and watch her.
"You look like a lost puppy."
He had totally forgotten that Matteo was in his office eating his life away.
"I could call her," Matteo suggested bringing out his phone from his pocket.
"Don't!" Stephan warned, he wasn't used to calling women but then again Matteo was a pain in his ass.
"Seemed she called me," Matteo said going through his phone, as Stephan also brought his phone out as well, he had kept his phone on silent and he was sure Matteo did the same as well, but she didn't call him. Why did she call Matteo not him? Oh right, she didn't have his direct line.
He dialed Elizabeth's number while Matteo busied himself by calling Dawn's number, but the number was just ringing, why wasn't she picking?
"Get in my office now." Stephan ordered cutting the call.
"Why isn't she picking? Maybe she is in bed with her lawyer."
"Do not get on my n
