Nicole
I jerked up awake when I felt a sudden impact on my left cheek that sends my head flying to the side.
"Wakey wakey bitch!" That fucking annoying voice rang throughout the room making my ears nearly bleed.
I felt the blindfold ripped away from my eyes making me groan when the glaring light from above me blinds my vision.
"How was your sleep princess? Did you get that peaceful slumber your highness?" I glared at her and sat up straight and felt the ache from my back surged through my body.
Now I know how sleeping on a chair feels like.
"I guess not. Anyway, lets begin shall we?" She asked mockingly while Clapping her hands together.
I noticed another person inside the room, and it was a guy that has a gun tucked away on the holster on his left side with the most intimidating expression on I've ever seen, on his face.
"I'll ask you something. You tell me the truth that I need to know, if you don't, then I'm afraid this will get ugly." I scoffed.
"Whatever you're gonna do, it will get you nowhere. I'm not telling you anything!" I yelled back at her and she laughed while glancing at the guy standing near the table, behind her.
"Oooh feisty now aren't ya? We'll see how that goes." With that being said, she slammed her fist down on my face making me bite my tongue,hard.
"Tell me, where your father is hiding?!" I shook my head to block out the stars that was about to dance across my vision, and I slumped back on the chair.
"You punch like a bitch. Funny, cos that's what you are." She threw her hand back and slapped me again across the face.
"Wrong answer! Now tell me where he is, or I'll beat your face up into a bloody pulp." I chuckled.
She's gonna have to try better then this if she's willing to make me talk. I've had worse then this during my high school moments where I got confronted by mean girls. A lot.
"And you slap like a whimpy whore. Seriously, how desperate are you?" Her face turns into an ugly scowl and she grabbed my hair forcefully and slammed my head against her knee.
Pain surged through my whole body and I felt my head getting lightheaded. I can taste blood in my mouth and felt it too when its slipping down my chin.
Be strong Nicole. You're stronger then this. Don't give in yet!
"We can do this all day Nicole, but it will all be over once you tell me where your father is hiding." She said while pacing across the room in front of me.
"I don't know." I mumbled out loud and she stood still while placing her hand on her hip.
"No don't start giving me that shitty lie. You know where he is cos that's why you're here in Chicago right? To see him after 4 years you've been away." I inhaled deeply and glanced away.
"Just tell me where he's hiding Nicole." I smiled at her and shook my head.
"Not happening bitch." She exhaled loudly and folded her arms across her chest.
"Do you even know why you're here Nicole? Did your father even warn you a little bit about us? Cos if he didn't, then poor you. You're never getting out of here alive sweetie." I frowned.
"Then tell me why the fuck am I here for and I fucking know damn well its more then getting me to talk about my father's hideout. So tell me, who the fuck you are and why am I really here?!"
She placed her hand over her chest mockingly.
"Oh my gosh, where are my manners? I'm sienna darling, sorry for the late introduction." I rolled my eyes.
"Nice to know you slutty sienna, now tell me the truth on why am I really here and who you two are working for." She glared at me.
"Do you really don't know or are you being dumb right now?" She asked with fake concern.
"Calling another person dumb, is not gonna help you accept the fact that you're the only dumb person alive in this room." I caught the guy behind her stifled back a laugh while coughing to cover it up.
"You're not in a position to ask anything right now. Now tell us where your father is?" She yelled.
"I don't know!" I yelled back.
She punched me again.
"Wrong answer!" My jaw started aching in the most painful way possible.
"Talk you bitch!" I clamped my mouth shut and when she realized that I wont say anything, She started slapping and punching me across the face repeatedly. I'm pretty sure my face is unrecognizable by now.
"Still not gonna talk?" She asked while grabbing my hair and pulled it back.
"Go fuck yourself slut!" I spit in her face.
"Well you asked for it." She threw my head back harshly and walked over to the table on the side and grabbed something from it that I could only make out as a small knife.
"Hopefully, this will make that talkative mouth of yours tell us something useful for once." She grabbed my hair again and pulled it backwards while a silver glint shone from her hand.
It was not a knife, but a scalpel.
What the hell? This thing was there the whole time? I should've scanned my surroundings more carefully when I had the chance!
"Last question. Where. Is. Your. Father. Hiding?"
I remained quiet while she took it as an opportunity to headbutt me right on the face.
I let out a painful yelp while she laughed right in my face. When I tried to open my eyes again, I can only see clearly on my left eye while my right eye felt so heavy and painful to even pry it open.
I felt the warm sticky blood drips down my face.
"Still not gonna talk? Too bad that was your last chance." My heart beat started beating in a fast pace when I saw her draw the scalpel closer to my face.
She placed the sharp blade on the corner of my left eye, and I held back a scream in pain while groaning instead when she started dragging the blade down to my cheek and a trail of blood follows behind.
"Oh god, that was a beautiful sound to my ears, lets see if we can make you scream again. I'm loving it!" Before she could continue slicing my face, the guy cleared his throat out loud, managing to catch slutty Sienna's attention.
"What?!" He stepped into the light and I finally made out what he actually look like.
He has sandy blond hair that's in a military cut sort of way and if I'm in a different situation right now, It would be safe to say that he's definitely good looking.
"Boss said we should end it here for now. He wants to see you in his study right away." She sighed while turning around to face me again, while loosening her tight grip on my hair.
"Save by the boss. I'll see you tomorrow and this time, no one is going to stop me from making you scream in pain till you tell us where your father is." She says while standing up and throwing the scalpel to the table where it lands with a clang.
I saw them walking out of the room till the door was closed shut again. Thank god she didn't blindfold me again this time.
A painful groan escapes my lips and I squirmed in my seat.
I felt like I'm gonna die but the voice inside my head kept reminding me to stay strong and never give in. I'll never let them know where my father is cos I wont let them take away the only family that I have for unknown reasons I've yet to find out.
I can do this. I will just bear with this fucked up treatment for just a couple more days cos I still don't know when they'll let me go.
But if they don't, and they'll let me die in here, then its worth it after all if I try keeping myself together and not letting them hurt my dad.
A lone tear slides down my cheek and a sob escaped my lips.
Not now Nicole. Don't cry, don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry.
I sniffed back my tears and shook my head.
I'm not gonna give in!
Nicole*Flashback*"Remember, the more you learn and get used to it, you'll get better and better." Matt, my personal bodyguard and a trainer whose also my dad's trusted friend, instructed me one more time for like the hundredth time that afternoon."I get it uncle matt. Again, why are we doing this?" I asked while loading up my gun.We were at theshootingrange at 4 in the afternoon right after I had my classes for the day, and now I can feel my body giving up on me slowly.He shot me a small smile,onethat hides many hidden answers yet looks casual and
Shane"Any updates on drake?" My group of men shook their heads. I sighed while standing up from my chair."Keep searching those assigned areas and don't come back until you find out where he is!" I growled and they slightly flinched by my cold and harsh tone."Leave!" I command. And immediately, they all scurried out of the room.I checked my watch and saw that it was after 10am already and sienna is probably at the interrogation room by now setting up her new skill to test it out on Nicole.I grabbed my phone and walked out of my study, heading down to the interrogation room. Along the way, a familiar voice called out my name that it echoed in the house and I'm pre
Nicole"Lucky you." Sienna mumbled sarcastically while throwing the box away at the table where it landed with a small clang.I glanced up just in time to see a man walking out of the room wearing a grey suit that emphasize his back muscles perfectly.The other guy who came in with sienna ran after him and I saw Sofia stepped into the light while glaring at sienna."That was too much sienna, you almost killed her!" Sofia said angrily at sienna, who chuckled."Almost. But she's still alive right?" Sofia scoffed while looking over at me with concern.My body still lingered with that shocking sensation and I'm starting
Nicole Sofia gently helped me off the chair and led me out of the room. After what I just heard back there, my mind completely went blank because I want to block out my every thoughts and just went blank for a while cos the minute I will start to think of how betrayed and shocked I'm feeling right now, the tears will follow. And I wasn't planning to cry right in front of those people because I swore to myself that I wouldn't cos that will just show them that I'm not tough but weak. The man that I just met back there, who claim himself to be the only man who has America under his control, was not like any other man I've met before. The first thing I noticed about him when he requested for the blindfold to be remove
NicoleFlashbacks when I was still locked up in that dark cell while sienna loomed over me and pressing that red button while I screamed in pain as electricity shocked me, ran through my head.The pain was too much to bear anymore, that it woke me up all of a sudden causing my breathing to come out in a fast raspy speed."Whoa are you okay?" I looked up and saw Sofia entering the room with a few plastic bags in her hands while she rushed to my side."I'm fine. It was probably a nightmare I guess." A nightmare that is starting to ruin me every time I closed my eyes to sleep.Sofia sat down next to me on the bed and study my face with concerned eyes.
NicoleThe next morning, I lay awake in my bed as I watched the sunlight seeped through the curtain, casting a bright golden glow in the room.I didn't get much sleep last night because every time I closed my eyes, replays of sienna electrocuting and slapping me jolted me awake.I sat up on the bed and after a minute, I slowly stood up and pulled aside the long curtains and the glaring sunlight blinded my vision.I gazed down below and noticed a group of men walking towards the house with sniper rifles hanging off their arms.Two other guys stood by the main gates guarding it. I sighed and went through the bathroom and washed my face, then I used the new toothb
Shane"Shane I got something!" Cameron yelled as soon as he entered my study with a serious look on his face."What?" He nods at me to follow him and I did. We entered the security room where our computers that monitor our security camera's around the main house are located, and I saw Toby and Jackson were already in the room."Whats going on?" I demanded to know and Cameron held up a finger for me to be quiet while lifting up a cellphone and handing it over to me.I frowned in confusion while taking the phone from him and glanced at it."Talk, drake's on the line." Jackson mouthed to me from the other side of the room and I narrowed my eyes and clutched the phone ti
NicoleI'm bored as hell. Lying on the bed all day and staring at the ceiling can really irritate the hell out of someone.Its already noon since I saw the sun went down an hour ago and I'm still here in my bedroom doing nothing at all.I sat up on the bed and glanced around the room and frowned when I ran out of ideas of what to do right now.A knock came from outside of my bedroom door and I instantly leaped out of bed and pulled the door open and found Sofia standing on the other side."Didn't know you were that excited to see me." She says mockingly and I rolled my eyes at her."Boredom got the best of me. So an

~6 years later~ Nicole "Boys, snack is ready!" I called out while placing a plate of ham sandwiches on the table. When I heard no reply, I gazed out of the glass window and smiled at my handsome husband Shane, playing outside with our 6 year old son, Jonathan. I shook my head while smiling and then pulled aside the sliding door and then stepped out of the house. "Mommy!" Jonathan cried out as soon as he saw me and then wiggled out of his father's arms and ran towards me. He jumped straight into my open arms and then I carried him up while hoisting him up onto my hip. "Look at you, you're sweating. What have you two been doing lately?" I asked wh
Nicole The next morning, Shane and I went to the couple breakfast area to get some breakfast before going for that tour around the island. It was a beautiful summer morning and the resort was already buzzing with excitement. I was simply dressed in a white summer dress with red flowers printed on it while Shane wore a light blue button up shirt but with a few buttons opened on the top with black shorts. We entered the crowded bar and noticed some adults with their children occupying the tables and already eating breakfast while the other side of the open restaurant, has a few tables only occupied by couples. "I guess, that's where we'll be having breakfast." I said to Shane who followed my gaze and then smiled bac
Nicole"And this is your private romantic suite. Everything has been prepared according to what Mr Cameron Sinclair had requested. I hope it suits your taste." Sierra announced as soon as she opened the door to our suite.Three words:Oh. My. God."Cameron really requested all this?" Shane asked sierra who nods enthusiastically.I walked in and slowly looked around, taking in the crimson wallpapers and the golden chandelier hanging on the ceiling. There was a huge flat screen TV hanging on the side of the wall and right in front of it, were two big leather couches.Right across the room, there was a sliding door tha
NicoleI stepped out of the car and stared excitedly at the huge private jet that was parked in front of me. The sun had just risen from the horizon casting a warm golden glow while the cool summer breeze enveloped me.I looked behind me and smiled at Shane stepping out of the car as well and coming to my side while wrapping an arm around my waist.Today is the day we were both leaving to go to Hawaii for our romantic couple vacation. The excitement that I felt about this very day had increased up a notch and I can't wait to get to Hawaii.Toby and Cameron started unpacking the trunks and pulling out our suitcases and handing them over to the guards that were also going with us to keep us company in case anything happ
Nicole"Shane?" I knocked on his bedroom door and then pushed it open while looking in. I frowned when I saw him standing in front of the long body length mirror with his back turned towards it while staring over his shoulder at the long scar on the middle of his back where the bullet had hit him.I walked in and then closed the door behind me and wrapped my arms around him. He looked at me with a small smile on his face and then went back to staring at his back on the mirror."What are you thinking about?" I asked softly while tracing one finger on the scar."Just thinking how doc did a pretty good job on my back. Now every time I will take my shirt off. I'll always be reminded why I had that scar."
NicoleI jumped out of the car the minute i pulled up in front of the house, and ran inside and yelled for Sofia."Where's Sofia?! Where the hell is she?" I yelled out in frustration the minute I saw Cameron walking down the stairs with a frown on his face."Woah calm down Nicole. What is going on with you?" I ran up to him and grabbed one of his arm after making sure that it was the one that wasn't injured."Cameron where's Sofia? Is Shane alright? What is going on?!" He placed a hand on my shoulder while telling me to calm down over again."Relax alright? Now tell me what's wrong?" I ran past him heading up the stairs while ignoring his shouts from below.
Nicole "Where to now?" I asked Jackson the minute we stepped out of the nightclub. "Our main underground fighting arena. It's not far, just a couple of blocks away from here." He replied while walking by my side, as we all approached the parked vehicles. "So we're only checking out the main places for today?" He shrugged while opening the passenger's door for me. "Just two places for today and then we're done." I smiled at him and then got into the car while he shuts the door behind me. We started driving to the place where Shane named 'The Lions Cave' where he held illegal underground fights and placed bets for his fighters.
*ONE MONTH LATER*Nicole"Nic you busy?" I looked up from my computer and smiled at Jackson who was standing on the doorway of Shane's office."Not really. Cmon in." He walked in and closed the door behind him, then sat down in front of the table."So we have this regular checkups we do every month, where we go around and see how things are going at all of our workplaces, warehouses, clubs and other places. So today is that day and since Shane is still in a coma, you're in charge of that as well."I leaned back on the comfortable black leather chair and sighed out loud."Seriously?" He wags a finger
