I did my morning routine and put on a pair of jeans with a black shirt. Pack my hair up in ponytail. I stare at my self in the mirror before going out of my room.
I was walking downstairs when I heard loud chattering coming from the living room.
What's going on?
The voice is not my dad's neither my mom's.
"When are you getting the fucking money " a deep voice yelled and I cringed.
I quickly rush down to see what was going on."Please, we will pay, just don't hurt us " My mom say with tears in her eyes. She was on her knees begging some two hefty dangerous looking guys. One is blonde and the other has a brown hair.
"If you don't give the money now Ryder, we are going to hurt everyone you care about and then kill you " another man says this one is bald headed but he looked dangerous too.
My dad's expression got scary. He look like that when he's angry.
"Hunter, you know what I'm capable of doing. You know you can't threaten me , none of your threats move me " my dad say looking somewhere.
That's when I notice a good looking guy in the room. He was sitting on our couch with so much authority and power. He looked fearless. His face void of any emotions.
He has a brown black hair which was brush perfectly to the back. His cold eyes met mine and I quickly look down, I couldn't meet his eyes. It was so scary so I stare at his face instead. His eyes rake down to my form and his pink lips turn into a lopsided smile.No one has noticed me in the room except him.
"I know what you are capable of Ryder and I believe you know what I'm capable of doing just to put you down " his raspy voice came out loudly and staring at him, it will be hard to tell he was the one talking as his body and posture still remain stagnant and his cute lips move gently like he was talking in whisper.
Every word of his came out with so much authority and he isn't saying it just to make an empty threat, he sounded like he meant every word and will take action without hesitation.This scares me, but I was busy staring at his handsome face to care.
"But, I've found something that interests me, and I will have to keep it till you get my money, so if you value your daughter. Bring my money to me as soon as possible, for now she will be in my care " the guy who his name should be hunter says and stand up.
My eyes widened, what the hell is he saying.
"No, no, Pls don't bring my daughter into this, she has no fault here. Please she's innocent, we will pay you your money just leave my daughter alone" my mother shouts as she begs with tears.
Seeing my mother in tears got me angry. I rush to her holding her shoulder. "Come on, mom stop crying. I'm fine nothing has happened to me " I said trying to stop her from crying."No Lauren, Run away, you shouldn't be here. They are dangerous, they are going to hurt you " my mom cried holding me tightly.
Why... " I tried to say.
"Don't worry Heather, we won't hurt her " Hunter says Sacarsm dripping from his words.
Fear gripped me.
"Haha, you think taking her will hurt me, I don't care about her. You can buy her in exchange of the money I owe, so I can be free. But...you have to watch your back hunter, I won't let you go "my father said and my heart shattered at his words.
"Dad? " I called in Suprise.
No this is not my Dad."No Ryder you can't do this to me, you can't let them take my daughter "my Mom cries and grip my father clothes.
"Take her !!" hunter says and two hefty men came to my side and grip my arm each.
"Hey! let me go! What are you doing, let go of me " I yelled as I tried to release my self.
"Calm down princess, you don't want your mummy cry more just because I slapped you for disrespecting me. " hunter says and my mom's wailing increase.
But did that move me? No it didn't, instead I start to insult him.
"Hey you piece of trash, hypocrite, heartless bastard. Let me go or I'll call the police on you " I yelled and one of the men holding chuckled and the other muttered "let's see you try " with a scoff.
"Shut up you waste of sperm " I yelled at them.
"Put her in the car booth " hunter ordered.
"What? Are you crazy, I'm I some sort of animal to you? "I yelled as he entered a red car in front of the black car this idiot are trying to get me into.
"Hey I'm talking to you " I yelled as the driver drove away
"Lauren Pls stop " my mom yells.
"Don't worry mom, I'm fine and I'll come back home soon. Just leave me to deal with this idiots." I said as they stock me into the car booth.
I was hitting the booth and shouting as the car moved.
Just then I noticed it open slightly. I guess they didn't lock it. An idea popped to my head and I grin.
Well it's better, I fall from a moving vehicle than let this idiots torture my life. That was what I was trying to do that I didn't notice the car has stopped moving.
"Hey! what are you doing? " The brown haired says and I glare at him.
"Fuck " I mutter and manage to get out of the car booth before giving him an answer.
"What does it look like I'm doing brownie " I said and raise my eyebrows.
"Jax get her inside the car " the blondie said to the brownie.
"Come on " the brownie, Jax, says pointing to the door opened by some rough looking black guy, he looks African.
"But... I really need pee." I whine.
"You will pee when we get home " the blondie says.
"What? You mean you are taking me back home "I ask with a grin. Which I already know the answer already, I just want to frustrate them maybe they can let me go.
They ignored me and sigh.
I know they are trying to keep up with my attitude because of their boss. If not I'll be half dead, half alive right now.I looked around, we were in the middle of nowhere, even if I tried to escape, I can't find my way back home. So I just seat obediently and accept my fate.
Hunter's pov"Did you bring her to the room? " I ask Cole and Jax."Yes " Jax answered."She tried escaping, we almost couldn't handle her, she's really feisty" Cole says."I know, that means we have to keep a close eye on her, she might tried escaping again right?" I ask."Yes ""Don't worry, leave it to me. ""You can leave now " I addI stood and head upstairs to see her. I made sure her room is a little close to mine.I opened the door to see her sitting on the bed with her head down. She's probably crying.Well, she will get use to it. People cry when they are in a new environment.She hasn't noticed me yet, so I used that medium to check her out.She's beautiful and have nice shape too. Well she got that from her mom and Ryder, they don't have any resemblance except the eye colour.I licked my lips and smile."Hey pri
Lauren.I was about to open a door which I think leads to the outside when I heard a voice "what are you doing "Hmm.It wasn't Hunter's if not I'll be shivering by now.I turn around, it was a lady. She was wearing a very short flair skirt and a silky material as blouse. I think she's a maid, cuz I've seen someone wear this kinda dress when they brought me in.She move closer."Give me that " she says pointing to the dish on my hand. I gave them to her."You must be lost "she says."Yes, I was looking for the kitchen to put those "pointing to the plates on her hands" but I guess I went the wrong way " I explained.She chuckles lightly, "that's the way to the balcony, not the way out. ""Oh, well this house is huge and this is my first time here, so it's normal " I said with a smile.You are really beautiful, want me to show you around the house "she says.
#LaurenThe next dayI was in the bathroom when an idea popped into my head. I climb on the toilet seat and slide the window open. Shit!. I forgot this is a storey building.I thought of escaping through the window, but there is another way though. I will just ask that my room to be downstairs.I smile and walk back to the room. Entering the room I met Nanny Lilo arranging something."Good morning Nanny Lilo " I greeted her cheerfully."Good morning darling, how was your night? "I shrug."Twas okay " I replied."Right, good thing you have taken your bath. Come downstairs for breakfast ""Sure, hm..can I ask for something ""What is it my dear?""I want my room to be moved downstairs, can you do that for me ""I'm so sorry I can't, you need Hunter's approval and I advise you don't ask him " she says.I groan.Now, I don't think this plan is going to wo
"Do you think I don't know what's going on in my mansion when I'm not home?!" Hunter yells at me.Right now I'm being tied to a chair and I'm in some kind of dark room. Obviously where Hunter kills people who go against him.And with the look of things, I think the same thing is going to happen to me."Well good for you " I muttered."Did you say something" he says and grab my chin his fingers press against my cheek, I moan in pain."You dare disrespect me, you don't know what I'm capable of " he growled.I cough as he releases his hand on my cheek and breath in heavily."I know what you are capable of Hunter, you can kill me and nobody will know " I scoff. "Right? "He smirk "Yes and I really wanna know your mom will react when she finds out you are dead, how Ryder will react... Oh I forgot he doesn't give a fuck about you."I cringe at the thought of my mother crying.

"I wanted to call reaching out for him."Don't fucking touch me b****" he growls and I move back in fear.Oh I actually forgot he's a jerk."You don't fucking touch me, after what your father did to me " he then point his finger at me."Tell him that if I set my eyes on him, I swear with my mother's grave. I'm going to kill him. Got it?" he says."Idiot, how am I going to see him" I thought."How will I see him, maybe you let me go and find him? " I said with a sly smile."Haha, you think you can take advantage of me being drunk and t
LaurenI yawned opening my eyes. Why is everything so dark, did I wake up early.I tried stretching my hand but I hit it with a wooden surface instead. What's going on?I tried raising my head but hit my head on a wood."Ouch!" I shout.Fuck, I remember I slept under the bed. I rolled out and sit up on the floor rubbing my forehead.I pick up my pillow and blanket and put them on the bed."Lord, you scared me " Nanny Lilo screamed as she hold her chest.I grin."Good morning, Nanny Lilo " I greet."I thought you are in the bathroom when I didn't see you in your room, but then I didn't hear any sound, do you sleep under the bed " she says.I smile sheepishly."Yes, I was avoiding Hunter, that idiot might come and disturb me again""He was drunk,yesterday was the day his mother died. He's always moody and will drink himself to stupor " she explai
Now I think I'm hungry. I stand up wearing my flip-flops before rushing out of my room downstairs.Some of the maids that saw me looked Suprise. And some have me the ' who let the dogs out '.Fucking bitches, acting like saints. Like they couldn't done worse if they are in my shoes.I just hate it when people judge me.Don't fucking judge me, you are not God.I glare at them as I walk to the dinning.I sat down on one of the chairs and watch Maria and other maids set the table.I sigh."Maria " I call but she ignores me."Maria listen I didn't do that to hurt you, anyone in my shoes will... "I didn't finish my words when she excuse herself and and went away.I dug on my food angrily.Not long, Hunter and Ryan walk towards here.Wait they are going to have dinner too.That means,..gosh it will be so awkward since I just sha
THENEXTDAYI ransacked the whole closet for a bikini to wear. I just feel like swimming today. "Yes!" I shout raising up a yellow bikini top and bend down to pick the bottom too. "Perfect "I mutter and walk into my room. I put it on and check my self out in the mirror. "So hot! "I say and kiss the air two times still watching myself in the mirror.I pick up the floral jacket from my bed and put it on before walking out of the room. I match to Hunter's room. I knocked on door to find it open. Hunter? "I called and enter the room. What! Is hunter crazy?Who paint his room black. Gosh.It would have been worse if there isn't some shade of cream coloured paint that was dotted. It looks weird for a room. "Hunter? "I called again seeing no sign of him in the bedroom. Feeling daring I move to check the bathroom. It was empty. I sigh and wal
"So you are alive " I huff."As you can see, I'm not dead and I'm here to kill you and take what belongs to me "I was about to bring out my gun when he shot my stomach. I groan as I hold my stomach. "I'm smarter than you " Jax laughs and shot me again. I hiss in pain. "You fucking betrayer " I growl bringing out my gun, then shoot him in his leg."Fuck! " he shouts holding his legs. I'm beginning to loose strength but ain't giving. Fuck me for not packing inside the airport. "I'm going to be the end of you " Jax scream as he start shooting non stop. I manage to dodge some bullet, but the one that got to me really did a great calamity as I couldn't move. He suddenly stopped shooting and Ryan's voice was what I heard next. Even I couldn't hear him well, his voice was very distant. I was beginning to see darkness, my eyes closing. Until I heard a gunshot again and someone fell on me. *"Hey are you okay " a familiar voice say and I open my eyes. I smile when I see Lauren. "Why a
Ryan and Maria's story.#Ryan "Hey miss can you look up? You can't serve me and keep your head down like that " I say to the maid who has refused to look up."I'm sorry sir " she apologize, with her head still bent down. I put my finger under her chin, raising her head. "Come on, don't be shy. Look at me " I smile.She looks up. Our eyes met but she looks away immediately. "Okay, there " I say pointing to my pile of dirty clothes. "I need them clean before tomorrow "She nods her head and walks to where the clothes are. "You can put them inside the laundry Box " I tell her as I stand up to take my shirt from the wardrobe. I already ask Lauren to meet me in my penthouse, I don't want to delay her. I really hope our plan works, those two should be together, not apart. They are each other's strength. As I was going to my closet, I bump into the maid. "Ah I-m sor-ry sir " she says as she make her way past me. Wait! That smell, that familiar cologne, is it coming from her. I hol
Someone scoff behind me. My heart hammered in my chest when I saw him. "You are even his shirt around the city, how can you be this shameless " his bold and deep voice say sending shiver down my spine. "Excuse me? What's your point? " I frowned "My point is, I'm dissapointed. You can stoop so low to be fucking my bestfriend after a week of our break up " he growls. "Are you out senses? Stop accusing me wrongly. I never slept with anyone, you are the fool here " I shout. #Hunter I think I'm going crazy. Ever since Lauren left, something also left me. I feel empty. And seeing her with my bestfriend, she was even wearing his shirt. It broke my heart, I won't deny that.But they have to pay for that. I can't or I don't wanna believe Ryan will do that, maybe he was only helping her.I love her. I'm in love with Lauren. I realize it a long time ago. But I never admit it. I wasn't even sure what the feeling is. So I secretly went to see a therapist after she left. He was the one that
Lauren's pov I safely pack and at a small restaurant because of the car following me.I heave a sigh of relief as I find a seat for myself. Gosh! Who could be following me? "Lauren " someone called behind me and I turned around. "Ryan? ""What are you doing here? Wait! Are you the one following me? " I ask "Hi... Yeah, it was me, I'm sorry did I freak you out? ""You did, oh God you have no idea how scared I was " I sigh."Sit down " i offer and he sits down besides me. "Sorry " he chuckles"So, you guys broke up?" Ryan ask "Yeah, it was a normal thing to do... I mean this is how it should end anyway ""Lauren, I want you to tell me the truth and I promise you it will remain with me " he says and I nod "Are you happy with you leaving? ""What was I supposed to do? Beg him to love me back. To let me stay back so that I can keep hurting myself " I lash out angrily. I was so angry that I didn't notice I've been shouting at Ryan even though he didn't look offended even when I apo
"I don't only despise love, I despise people in love " he shouts. "Why? "I sob"Because they are weak people " he answers. "Well, I admit. I'm weak. But you know what? People who don't believe in love at all, are the most heartless people in the world . Just like you " I say and look at me. He was about to say something but I cut him off. "And love is the most beautiful thing in the world. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have tolerated everything you do, If I didn't love you, I could never be here. Not for this long. So if you think love isn't a good thing" I laugh. "That's a stupid mindset. ""And what has this 'thing ' got you " he laughs. "Happiness " I answer him. "Well, are saying you are happy now ""I was happy, but I'm sad now. Love also has its advantages and disadvantages. It has bad times and good times ""Bad times, good times. What are you saying Lauren, it just doesn't make sense""What in this world doesn't have advantage or disadvantage?""Staying neutral " he an
Hunter "So I'm starting to think you are impotent " Kathrine said as she moved closer to me. I move back a little bit."And why will you say that?""You haven't called me for months ""You should get the message by now that I don't need you, what are you even doing here, I told you not to come to my house like that " "I'm just worried okay, I wanted to know if you are alive or not ""Thanks but no thanks, you can't just come to my house like that. ""OMG, that sexy bitch down there. Is she the one keeping you away from me? "she says and I turn back to see Lauren looking so hot in her swimsuit. "First, I don't like you calling her "Bitch " she ain't your stupid friends that you call shit names.""That's a first, you - defending -a -bitch.. Sorry girl. Is she your sister? Or who's she? ""She's my girlfriend " I tell her and she laughs. "what's so funny ""Seriously? How long have you guys been dating? ""A year, Surprised? Yeah, I'm full of surprises" I chuckle. "Wait! A year. Bu
Lauren I could feel and hear everything going on beside me but annoyingly I couldn't move my body or talk. Every day, every time Hunter talks to me, I wished I could answer him. Those times he stays to watch over me in the night. I wish I could tell him to go home and rest, that I'm fine. But I couldn't. I moan inwardly as I listen to Hunter having conversations with someone, but I couldn't hear the person I was only hearing Hunter's voice. "Don't tell me you can't find him, find him " he yelled "Is either you bring him to me or you die " he threatened and my inside shook. "Alive or dead, I want him " "Fool! " he muttered. I feel him sit beside me. "Hunter " I tried to call but my voice won't come out. "Wake up soon baby " he says and kissed my temple. I tried moving my hand again I think it worked. I did it again. "Oh my God, do you just move your hand?" Hunter almost scream. He rushed out. I open my eyes slowly , my vision is blurry at first. My
Hunter. "He has refused to speak " Ryan said as I walked into the dark room."First of all, where are the guards? ""I don't know, I think you should ask Cole or Jax that " he replied. "Jax told me that you ordered that they should be given a free day, together with the maids " Cole answered "And why would you say such a thing? " I roared."I don't know, probably... I don't know man Jax told me that you asked me to do it and I did " Cole replied. "Enough of Jax says! You could have asked me or Hunter. It's obvious this was planned by Jax and many more people we don't know " Ryan yelled."That guy needs to talk and look for Jax now! Whether alive or dead. " I instructed. I walked to where Liam was being tortured. He was tied to a chair, all beaten up. "You have refused to tell us who sent you " I said. He raised his head and looked at me. He scoffed and looked away."How can you be this heartless? Even if you wanted me you shouldn't have involved Lauren. That girl has done you n
Hunter. It has been more than 20 minutes since Lauren left for that guys room. She's really going to get me angry if she keeps doing that. I decided to get her myself, I was on my way when Ryan stopped me. "I.... "He wanted to say but stopped when we heard a gunshot. "Did you hear that? " I asked"Yeah, but where did that come from? Well maybe the guards are training or so ""Training? They don't train on Wednesdays and they don't use real guns, that sounds like a real gun " I huffedI think the sound is coming from Liam's room. Oh shit! Lauren."Fuck! I have to go " I said and I rushed to the room. I pushed the door open and I guess Ryan followed me. The food Lauren was holding minutes ago is now split on the door. "What the hell happened, where are they? " Ryan said behind. I instinctively formed my hand into a fist and my jaw clenched. I'm so going to kill the mother fucker that did this and that if anything happens to Lauren, his whole family will hear of my wrath. I mov
