Darkness….

All I see is darkness, it smells like a clinic, it smells of disinfectant or is it iodine, I can’t really tell,

  “Where is Stiliyan? What is happening? What is going on?” these questions twirling in my head, slowly I begin to lose consciousness welcoming the darkness that engulfed me,

HOURS LATER…….

I try to move, ‘Nothing!’ I can’t move, but this time I can feel my arms and my legs, I am tied to a chair, gagged in the mouth, I still see nothing but darkness, trying desperately to open my eyes, but they are forced shut, probably by a rag or something, 

“Where the hell is Stiliyan?” I say to myself, I hear a distant noise and the sound of unlocking of a door, 

Footsteps, I hear footsteps and it keeps getting louder and louder, I begin to quiver in fear, because whoever is approaching me is my abductor,

“Catalina, I need you to answer a call,” the voice sounding all too familiar w

    “John Provo!”Shock was an underrated adjective as to how I felt,“you betrayed Stiliyan? what is going on here john? What is this!! How could you do this to Stiliyan? How could you?”I say to him, screaming at the top of my lungs, what I got as response was a fucking chuckle, he just laughs at me,“you are really cute Catalina, you must be hungry, I’d send someone to get you something to eat and untie you, take a shower, relax, you would be having company real soon, see you around Miss Catalina,” he says to me as he starts to walk out the door,“John wait, please wait, I need answers tell me something, anything!!!!!!!” I yell, he doesn’t budge as he calmly walked away, and I was left alone,”I am alone, but only for a few seconds, two girls in their early twenties walk in, one carrying a tray of food and the other with some clothes and shampoo, a toothbrush, toothpaste and body wash,

    “Wake up! Wake up!” I could feel someone tugging at me, I immediately spring up, now conscious of my environment, it was john,“You have a visitor Miss Catalina, you would like this, someone to keep you company,” he says, smiling awkwardly,“What do you mean?” I say to him in a raspy voice, sitting up, “have breakfast first, you’d need it,” he says to me, pointing at the meal tray at the edge of the bed,“See you soon Miss Catalina,” he says as he walked out the door,****************Staring at the ceiling seems to be one of the most interesting activities here, I finished my meal hours ago, I am worried, I am tired, I wonder if Anna made it to Manhattan, I need answers but I am wise enough to know not to provoke my abductors, I can’t even come up with a plan, I need to know Stiliyan is safe before I begin to even think of a plan, the onlyperson that can confirm if he is at least doing okay was John, I need to confront him next time h

    “I am Diego Montego,”He says, immediately resuming his steps walking out the door, his henchmen following closely behind him,‘Diego Montego’, the name sounds oddly familiar I just can’t remember where I heard this name, Stiliyan! Stiliyans old boss.I remember he said this man was like a father to him, but what does Diego Montego want with me, I am still deep in thought when I hear a faint voice call out my name,I look towards him and see Christian staring at me,“Hey, how are you feeling?” I ask, feeling really apologetic as he embraces me in a tight hug ,“I am so glad you are okay I was really worried,” tears begin to pour like a water fall, I felt so sorry, he is here right now because of me,“I am so sorry Christian, they threatened me, I had to make the call, I am really sorry, this is all because of me, please forgive me Christian,” I say to him in between sobs “shhhh it’s not your fault, this is just a bad family

    Stiliyan walks into the room, looking drop dead handsome, dressed in a black suit, his hair ruffled like he’d run through it a thousand times, his face unbelievably emotionless, a slight bruise on his cheek and his jaw tightly clenched,“Stiliyan,” I let out a loud gasp as I run towards him, “Are you okay? Did they hurt you? I am so sorry Stiliyan; did you piss off your godfather? Why would he want to harm you?”“What is going on here Cat?” Christian says looking really confused,He was interrupted by a loud laughter from Diego Montego,“You think this funny, you sick bastard!!” I yell at the top of my lungs, I was angry, but what hurt more is the fact that their was nothing I could do about this at the moment and it sucks,“Oh shut up princess, don’t be so stupid, Stiliyan is my godson, why would I want to harm him?” he says calmly, “I can see the slight bruise on his face, what have you done to him?”“we just had a little misun

    “You’ve been so quiet, what are you thinking,” I say to Christian, it’s been a few hours since Stiliyan, John and Diego walked out of here, Christian has been so quiet, I did not bother saying anything as I am deep in my own thoughts too, I have a really bad feeling about all this,“What do you want me to say? You know, it’s funny how you are boldly throwing yourself at someone in front of my very eyes, you don’t give a fuck about me Catalina, but I can risk my life for you,” he says in a low whisper,“Christian I know this is fucked up, but right now, we need to think of a way out of this place, do you have anything up your sleeves?”“Are you joking with me right now, do you really think we are going to walk out of here on our own, two hefty men are right outside the door, how many more do you think would be surrounding this place? Or are you trying to make small talk to make me look less of a fool, the only person that can get us out of here, is your little

    I look through the glass window, Everyone looks really busy, I see Anna talking to a few people, my mum is giving a young lady an earful, My Dad and Ryan are talking to a few people, children are running around, I can’t believe this is real, I feel like my heart is going to explode from this much happiness, I am so grateful beyond words. “it’s about to begin, cover your veil,” Anna says as she rushes into the room,“I can’t believe my baby is getting married,” she says giving me a hug, a drop of tear making its way out of my eyes, “oh come on, enough with water works, we are stuck with each other forever,” “Come on ladies, you can’t leave a man standing at the altar,” My dad says as he walked in looking really chirpy. I can hear the music as I slowly walk into the wedding grounds, my eyes are fixated on the ground, I am a little nervous, as I walk beside my father, our arms interlocked with each other, I am dressed in a really long white, lacey long slee

    “Why are you so lost in your thoughts?” Stiliyan says, as he sat next to me, legs crossed, ‘damn this man is sexy’, I mentally say to myself,“I have no idea how badly they are going to take all of this, the news regarding the death of the heir to the Montero Empire should be everywhere, the airport is probably swamped with reporters, awaiting my arrival, I wonder how much they know?All this is going to be really difficult.Stiliyan, what are you going to do about all this, you might get arrested?” I say to him, revealing my biggest fear,“Catalina, no one except your family knows we are on our way to Manhattan, I made sure of that,and Christian killed himself to save you, the only name the Montero’s can link to his death is Diego, and this is without prove, it will merely be an accusation without evidence, all the while you were locked up your dad, Sebastian, called me various times, plea

    In a flash of an eye, Stiliyan pulls out two guns, one pointed at John, the other pointed at Christian,“Diego, do not do this, John! Put down the gun! Don’t make me do this,”“Cata, I am willing to let you go if you never look back at Stiliyan, the moment you come in contact with my son, I would kill you,”“Take the deal Catalina, go home” Stiliyan says calmly, his eyes filled with so much sadness,“I will taste death willingly if that’s what it takes to love you,”I say to Stiliyan with so much love and also sadness,“Wrong answer Cata,”“Diego, let her go I’d come with you,” “Not good enough for me son, I want her gone” “Diego!!!!
