The Arranged Bride novel Chapter 38

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.
