Speechless

CHAPTER FOUR

JEN POV,

A few days passed well until I learned of the news. I was watching YouTube news about me, but it wasn't the worst part; the worst part was the comments. Hell yea...   All of them were about me, such as criticizing my beauty or my idiocy, but why only me? What about that psycho man, I mean?

I snatched out of my thoughts at Vic's call, "Vic, you have amazing timing. So, is there a specific reason?" I exploded.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS, GIRL?" she yelled.

"Vic, now what this is supposed to mean?" I pretended to be stupid.

"Babe, you're all over the Internet, news, YouTube, and soon everywhere," she exclaimed, excitedly.

"So, what is it that has you so riled up? I'm dying here, and my one and only best buddy is making jokes about me. Great Vic!" I remarked sarcastically.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, happy now? But what are you going to do about it now?"

"I'm not sure. Also, please quit bothering me; I'm already depressed, so I'm going to hang up the phone, bye." I said as I hung up the phone.

Okay, Jennifer, you're not going anywhere outside for a few days because of this scandal. Yeah, that's the best thing to do right now, I reasoned, and I spent virtually the whole day sitting, cleaning, and eating. A few days went by with nothing happening.

Before sleeping, I consoled myself by telling myself that everything will be okay tomorrow and that it would undoubtedly be the best day of my life. But I think that was the worst lie I've ever told. Because...

The next morning, I awoke to a tremendous thump on my room's door, and as I opened it, I said, "We're at it again. What are you doing at my door at this hour of the morning, Vic?"

I was yawning when she remarked, "I'm going outside for breakfast, and I was wondering if you wanted to join."

"No, I don't want to," I responded, rubbing my eyes to keep them awake.

"Come on, Jen, how long have you been considering locking yourself in this one room? Come on, let's walk outside and enjoy breakfast with me," she murmured, her eyes concerned.

"Okay, okay! fine, let's go, but first let me change my outfit," I remarked as I began walking towards the bathroom to take a bath and change my clothes.

Later, we both walked to the local restaurant and ordered breakfast. As we were eating, a man came in our direction and stood in front of me, asking, "Are you, Mrs. Jennifer Oxford?"

"Amm... I am, but do I know who you are?" I questioned him as well.

Rather than responding, he added, "Miss, come with me, the boss wants to see you."

But when I refused to accompany him and inquired who his boss was, he suddenly grabbed my hand hard and began dragging me towards his automobile, which was, if I'm viewing things correctly, the fuck... It was Lamborghini. I was taken aback and began to wonder who his crazy boss was.

I tried everything I could to get my hand out of his powerful grip, but nothing happened because he was too strong as my opponent. Vic was yelling my name and pleading for aid when everything went black, possibly because I passed out.

I opened my eyes to find myself in a king-sized bed. It was a spacious room that was fully equipped in a modern manner. I was glancing about when a piercing voice interrupted my thoughts with, "you're awake?"

I was taken aback as I turned in the direction of that speaker; I had no idea what was going on or why I was in his room. What exactly does he expect from me?

"Are you done staring?" he asked, smirking. At this point, I summoned all my confidence and climbed out of bed, standing in front of him, and asking, "Why am I here, what do you want, and why did you want to see me?"

"Relax, darling; we've got a long journey ahead of us, so what's the rush?" He said this as he began to walk towards me. I took a step back till my back touched the solid wall.

He put his hands on both sides of my body, making it impossible for me to run. I began to feel frightened. "What are you doing?" I asked. Instead of responding, he neared his face to my ear. I can feel his warm breath on my ear from when he abruptly whispered, "It's only the beginning, darling, so just wait and watch because you have a long journey ahead of you and nothing you can do about it. Do you know why?"

He paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Because you're the cause of all this," and smiled cruelly.

I sensed horror and terror because his personality was revealing everything about him. I was thinking about what he had just said when he moved his face in front of mine and his eyes were as icy as ice. He gently grasped my arm and pinched it; I was ready to say anything but was cut off because he pushed me to the bed and exited the room.

When he was gone, I walked closer to the door and attempted to open it, but it was locked. I screamed for rescue, but it was all for naught. I was at a loss on what to do because I didn't even have my phone with me, but perhaps he did.
