The Arranged Bride

Sophia's POV

My head was hurting so bad but I couldn't bring up my hand to hold my head. My hands and feet felt numb. With a lot of struggle I opened my eyes to meet with a dark wall in front of me. I was racking my brain to find out how I landed here but couldn't remember a thing. I felt extremely drowsy and darkness consumed me again before I knew it.

Next time when I opened my eyes, I was in the same place but this time I remembered everything. Walking out of the restaurant and getting kidnapped.

Ethan! My poor baby. Was he missing me? He gets scared when I am not there for a few hours and I don't know for how long I have been here. He must be thinking that I have left him. I hope Nick can handle him.

Nick !? Was he fine? He should be right? Did they take only me?

I was lying on the floor in the middle of a dark room. My hands and feet were tied which explains the numbness. My back was badly aching for being in that position for God knows how long. I sat up with a lot of efforts.

I guess they had injected me with some sort of sedatives. I couldn't keep my eyes open. My eyelids felt heavy.

I tried looking here and there to find an escape but the room had no window. I couldn't move my hands a bit because of how tight the ropes were gripping my wrists. Honestly, I was scared. I didn't know what I was going to deal with. Was he going to sell my organs? Was he going to rape me? I shuddered at the thought. Will Nick find me? The throbbing in my head was worsening.

Just then the door creaked open, causing my eyes to hurt from the sudden brightness. I could guess a female figure standing at the door. I squinted my eyes to get a better look. Suddenly a light in the room was switched on. Unable to adjust to the sudden illumination, I closed my eyes and blinked several times before looking at the presence and whom I saw had me shocked.

"Christina." A faint inaudible whisper left my lips. But the wicked smirk which appeared on her face was enough evidence that she had heard it.

"Shocked, are we ?" Her high pitched voice filled the room.

She walked towards me in a slow pace, swaying her hips from side to side.

She crouched down in front of me and brought up a finger, touching my face.

"Now now Princess, what did you think?" She spoke while dragging the finger along my face with a sadistic smile on her face and all of a sudden fisted my hair in her hand in a painful grip. I couldn't help but groan in pain.

"You will walk away with Nick and I will let you ?" She slapped me hard across my face. I felt a metallic taste in my mouth.

She started laughing maniacally and walked a bit away.

"We were dating and I know he loved me." She dreamily stared in front of her. My mouth itched to tell her how he never felt anything for her but I knew better than to irk her now.

"But you !" I winced at her shrill voice. "You came between us and destroyed everything." She kicked my stomach hard. I curled up my body as much as possible,in an attempt to reduce a bit of pain. Tears escaped my eyes but I didn't make a sound. I was sensible enough to not go bat shit crazy and scream profanities at her and get more bruised.

"You just walked in someday and he dumped me like that. All because of you." She again kicked my stomach. I cried out in pain.

"Don't worry. You're going to pay for everything. I will take my revenge... But for now I got you food. See, I am not a bad host."

A man on cue entered the room with a plate. He placed it on the floor and came behind me to open my hands and then legs. I slowly brought up my hands and massaged my wrists to reduce the numbness. The plate was pushed in front of me.

"Eat." I looked away, staring at the blank wall. I knew not to defy her when I was practically at her mercy but I was not in a state to swallow dry bread.

She once again crouched down in front of me and spoke.

Honestly, I don't care if you die out of starvation. But you know, I got to hand you over alive. "I snapped my head towards her faster than I could imagine. Hand over !? She was going to sell me? To whom?

I looked at her with questioning gaze bit she ignored me.

She gripped my jaws hard and hissed at me.

"So better eat before I make you."

I was made to swallow the piece of bread and I was given a glass of water. But luckily they didn't tie me up before leaving.

If they knew that I couldn't escape then why the hell did they tie me up previously? To add effect to the whole kidnapping thing?

I honestly hated Nick for ever hooking with such a psychopath. Crawling back to the wall, I pulled my knees to my chest and leaned my head back, supporting on the wall. I didn't know how long it has been since I have met my family and now she was most probably going to sell me. But wasn't that going to be a news, if she does? I can't be sold off to be a stripper somewhere because many people knew me due to my marriage with Nick.

God knows what my fate has in store for me. I wasn't sure if I was going to ever meet Nick and Ethan again. Do my parents know about me getting kidnapped? Were they worried about me. I can't lie that I didn't want anyone to worry about me. I wanted someone to find me and get me out of this sadistic bitch's clutch.

All these thoughts were truly messing with my head. I was feeling so many emotions at the same time. I was angry, sad and mostly scared. In spite of my desperate attempts at staying awake, I was drifting of into darkness again. My last thoughts were about Nick. I knew and hoped that he would try to find me.

Help me Nick.
