The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 61

There was a distinct chatter of voices closer to me. I couldn't quite catch what they were saying or who they were?...

I struggled to stand but noticed that my hands were tied by a strong robe that could only be used for animals. I struggle to free my hands from it but it was effortless.

My throat was dried, I wanted to scream for whoever they were to come take me out of here but no words were coming out

I squinted my eyes in the darkness while trying to see if there was anything that I could use to know where I was but nothing as the room was blank save for a black drum at the far corner of the room..

“Is she awake?” A man groaned out the words. He moved closer to me, I couldn't make out his features in the darkened room but I was confident that I'd never met him before.

My eyes intently seek out the necklace on my neck, I relax as soon as I see it glowing at my chest. It was the only light for me in this darkened place. I hope Michael found me in time before whoever it is, killed me…

“No, what can we do? I hope the boss won't be angry with me when he comes. I only gave her a small dose of chloroform which she inhaled. She ought to be awake by now”

I gasped as soon as I heard that voice. It was the taxi driver that picked me up at the Lush Beauty earlier. Who asked him to do this? What does the person want from me? I questioned myself softly as I tried to get the tears back from my eyes. I have to stay strong for my family and especially Michael.

“Don't worry, your job is done here. Come, let me settle your payment then you can go” The other man said, his voice coming out a bit muffled due to the mask on his face. I assumed he was the front man in this kidnapping. Who was the boss?

My head was aching, I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding as soon as the door closed signifying the exit of the men. I wish Michael would get to me before the boss comes. I searched around the floor looking for the pen I was holding earlier. I exhaled as soon as I saw it lying limp by my side.

I shifted closer to it, I wanted to switch it on but that is going to take much more of an effort from me as my hands were tied up at the pole where I was sitting down at…

I let my left leg which was loosely tied move closer to where the pen was, I was breathing heavily as I tried to switch it on but it kept sliding out from my legs.

I heard the door click open again, immediately I tried to position my legs back, my leg unconsciously met with the switch on the pen, using all my strength, I pushed the switch down causing it to go on. I was so excited that I couldn't help smiling even in my predicament.

Instead of the man's voice from earlier, a woman entered the room. She stepped a step away from me and turned to the man who had obviously followed her into the room..

“Why isn't she awake yet? Gosh! I wanted to give her a piece of my mind?” The woman complained bitterly, making me wonder who she was and in what possible way had I offended her before?

Her voice was extremely familiar, I tried to search my brain where I had possibly heard her voice but it was furtile. I didn't know if it was because of the chloroform I had inhaled earlier or the effect from my accident before that's still making my brain fuzzy…

“This is too dangerous. I only allowed you in because she's still asleep, it will be bad if she wakes up and recognizes you. You need to leave here Immediately” The Man said, his voice was a bit clearer now, he had probably removed his mask. I tensed as soon as I heard. Who was that woman? I should know her right..

“You don't need to worry about that. I'm sure she won't be leaving this place alive, I will make sure of that. Get that into your thick skull, bitch” She walked closer and slapped me loudly on the cheek. I forced myself from wincing, wouldn't want to break my cover of pretending to be asleep.

She stormed off the room closely followed by the man. As soon as the door closed, only then could I allow myself to cry as I sobbed slowly in the room. I kept chanting to myself that all will be well in as much as I pretend to be asleep, they won't do anything.

My back was aching from the iron steel where it was rested on and I couldn't feel my hands and legs anymore. My mind immediately went to my parents, they would have probably found out by now that I was missing. I hate making them worried and I didn't know who kidnapped me.

The door opened almost immediately before I could prepare myself, the man was a light walker since I didn't hear any of his footsteps before. He stared at me with an annoyed expression on his face, I wondered if he was the boss or not?

“I see that you are awake. I was getting worried, hope you like your new place. I got it especially for you” The voice, Oh my God!. I recognize it's Austin but why would he kidnap me?

“Austin?” I questioned him softly, straining my voice to speak as I was still thirsty from earlier.

“Yes, you are right. Now that you've seen me, I guess I don't need this anymore” Austin answered as he peeled the mask off his face. I scolded myself for speaking out, if this was just like in the movies, I guess I won't be leaving here alive then…

Austin turned to walk out of the room but paused“ I will come around again to play with you, but be very rest assured that you won't be leaving here alive”

He told me the same thing that the woman had told me earlier, who was she? I doubt she couldn't be Deborah.

She was with me earlier today at Lush Beauty, she won't risk being caught for this. I subtly glanced at the pen to see that it was working perfectly well. I smiled to myself, at least if I'm gone, I will make sure that Austin and his accomplice rot in prison…

“Austin, when did you arrive?” The man from earlier asked Austin as he stepped into the room.

“ I see you are awake, it takes longer than I had expected” He said to me, his eyes darkening with contempt. I could see how Austin was a friend to him, they were both merciless..
