Victor's POV
"Pancakes !!!!! ", Ethan screamed ecstatically. Pancakes are Ethan's favorite."Good morning Aunt Lucy!!""Good morning Aunt Lucy"Both of them greeted Aunt Lucy."Good Morning Master Lucas and Master Ethan" Aunt Lucy smiled."Any pancakes left?" Ethan asked expectantly, showing his big eyes, acting all cute in front of Aunt Lucy."I have made extra for you Master Ethan" Aunt Lucy giggled at hischildish act and served him a plate with pancakes."Have some Master Lucas ",Aunt Lucy said."No Aunt Lucy, we already had our breakfast before we left home to come here", Lucas answered.While they were talking I already finished my pancakes and fruit salad.I put the empty plates in the sink and washed my hands."My men will be here by 10:00 am", Lucas said.I looked at my watch . It's 8:45 am. I nodded and started to walk towards the study room ."Are you going to be present there?" He asked from behind."You can handle it.""Ok"I called Alex's cellphone to ask about the progress of hiring a supplies manager and to send some files to my email.After that I got myself immersed in the work , reading the files ,checking the monthly expenses statement by my company, to be more clear about the situation of my company and about the new upcoming projects.Alex had already checked the files before sending them to me and it only needs my signature. But I still check them thoroughly. It's not that I don't trust Alex, no, Alex is trustworthy and has always been handling all my work efficiently. He never lags behind however heavy the amount of work is. I go through them to keep everything under my knowledge, every little detail .This is how I caught Sebastian's dirty work, through these files and a little investigation.At 10:35 am someone knocked on the door ."Come in"One of my bodyguards came in."Boss , the girls have arrived " ,He said."Ask Lucas . He will be in charge.""Mr Lucas is already there," He said."Then ? ""Actually Boss..... there is a problem with the girls."He said hesitantly."Problem with the girls ? ""One of the girls is kidnapped mistakenly in place of the real one",He replied."Have you caught the right one",I asked."Yes Boss. She will be disposed, there itself, "he replied."Do you know which of them was wrongly kidnapped ? ""Yes Boss . We already did the investigation and she is the only one who isn't related to clubs or bars"Seeing me silent he continued"We don't know what to do with her. Mr Lucas wanted me to ask you what to do with her.""I will be there in a minute"He nodded ,"Ok Boss" and left.I closed the file I was reading before the man came, and went to the ground in the back of the trainees building .While going there Ethan also joined me.We were at the entrance of the ground and the girl was.............sitting at the center of the ground. Beside her the girls sent by Scorpion's are laid dead.I couldn't see her face as she was facing away from me. She was wearing black coat and black pants.Sandra's POVAfter coming to the conclusion that I might have been kidnapped for prostitution I sighed. I closed my eyes again, my mind's a little disoriented. I was having obsessive thoughts and it feels like my mind was going to explode with all these thoughts.I tried to sleep to get rid of all these thoughts but my stomach grumbled again with hunger. You can't sleep, however hard you try ,when you are hungry.Tired and frustrated I put my back against the wall of the container for support and just kept my eyes closed .A few more girls are now awake. They are asking each other where they are , what will happen to them , how they can escape etc. There is something unusual with these girls. They weren't scared that they were kidnapped. They have a solemn expression on their faces and the weird thing is that they look like they knew each other before.They are planning something, I'm sure.To avoid talking with them I kept my eyes closed . It's not like I don't wanna escape but that there is nothing we can do inside the container. I have observed my surroundings and there isn't anything which could help.I don't know how long I was awake and when I fell asleep.An earthquake woke me up. But it's not an earthquake, it's more like the whole container was shaking. All the girls looked towards me but then I realized they weren't looking at me but at the wall behind me . I looked behind and saw the outline of a door that explains why I couldn't find an entrance before when I was looking around. That sounds so dumb of me. Throughout the time it was behind my back. I moved aside from the door as all these stares were making me feel uncomfortable .After a few minutes ,someone opened the door from outside. A man came in carrying a gun as big as my arm and told us to stand in a line and go out from the door one by one. I was third from the last in the line. The man handcuffed every girl who passed by him. The line started moving forward. Soon it's my turn to go out.As I stepped out I closed my eyes as sunlight was too bright. It seems a day has passed since my kidnapping. A man nudged me to move forward. I looked at the man and saw that he was holding a gun in his hands. Then I looked around and there were ten men, leaving the one inside the container, all carrying guns . I started moving to where all the other girls were standing . After the last girl came out one of the men counted and then nodded to another man. Then they blindfolded us all.After a few moments I felt someone holding my arm and pushing me forward to walk with him. As I followed him trying not to fall as I can't see, a male voice told me to watch out for the stairs as there are stairs in the front.I stepped up two steps then it was a plane surface again .The space now seems a little congested as I continuously keep colliding with something. After a few moments he told me to sit down. Now it feels like I am sitting on a sofa. The man left. I sat there god knows for how long . Then I heard a noise of engine starting , I felt a vibration under my feet. Seems like we are traveling again, this time on the road. Other girls are also there, I am not alone. I can hear their low grunts from time to time.After what felt like a few hours, the engine stopped and again a man guided me down the vehicle.He took me with him walking fast, I am almost running, trying hard not to fall. Then walking a few hundred meters he ordered me to stand still.I tried to speculate my surroundings with the help of my five senses. I can hear birds chirping and my body feels like sun rays are falling directly on me. So I came to the conclusion that wherever it is, it's an open ground .While I was still trying to figure out my surroundings, someone came behind me and removed the blindfold from my eyes. I kept my eyes closed for a few moments longer and when my pupils adjusted to the brightness I opened them.As I had concluded , it's an open ground. A few hundred meters away there is a building which looks like a hostel from its structure. I looked for other girls, their blindfolds were also removed .Now there are around 15 men. Two men were talking with each other while others were standing like security guards around us. These two men were the only ones who didn't have a gun with them. Except for these two, all others were wearing black.One of the two men was wearing a black suit pants and the other one was in his casuals . The one in casuals was wearing specs and looks like the leader here and the other beside him looks like his assistant.Let's call him " Assist" and call the one with specs as "Specy".Specy looked at all the females captured ."Kill them"I looked at him in disbelief. He gave the orders so casually like he was asking someone to kill a mosquito.Did they only kidnap us for killing? It sounds bullshit. Suddenly a girl attacked Specy. Specy dodged and other men held the girl down. At this time all the girls who were with me throughout the journey started fighting with the men in black.A huge fight broke out. I stepped several steps backward to avoid myself getting hurt. It was hand combat. Some girls tried to get hold of guns but were pushed down on the ground before they could hold the gun. I saw Specy and Assist standing calmly watching the whole scene.Soon all the girls were held down with not a single man hurt.The Assist phone rang . He took the call."Hello.............yes.............huh??......how could that-.........ok..........ok....i got it." While talking he kept on looking at all the abducted girls including me from time to time. After hanging the call he whispered something to Specy.Specy also looked at us. Then he ordered Assist,"Get all of their information.""Ok Sir"Then Assist made a few calls. As I am standing closer to them as compared to the other abducted females I can hear some fragments of their conversation. I tried to hear more. From the broken pieces I heard, it can be said that one of the girls was wrongly abducted in place of another girl.Soon Assist gave his cellphone to Specy. Specy looked at the phone then ordered his man to take a girl to the side. He kept swiping on the phone and picking a girl.One by one all the girls are kneeling at one side and I'm standing alone.He looked at me and I stared back at him."Kill them," Specy ordered again.A man shot a girl dead then other then other. The girls tried to struggle again but they soon died. It took less than half a minute for the man to kill twenty or so girls.I can't lie I am scared to hell but I kept my face straight not showing any emotions. Two dead bodies are just beside me on the ground.I am not scared of dead bodies nor did the blood scare me. It's just that the sudden gunshot took me by surprise. So it took me a few seconds for my heart to calm down.At this moment my stomach grumbled again with hunger. It reminded me that I'm hungry and haven't had any food even a sip of water, maybe for a day.Remembering this I felt a loss of energy, so I sat down in Indian style on the ground for two reasons in particular. One, I hadn't eaten anything since I was kidnapped and second, due to the massacre that just happened there, my legs lost strength and felt like jelly.At first he was still thinking whether she might be planning something on him or not but after she signed the marriage contract he had a firm suspicion on her. -Which girl in her right mind, would sign a marriage agreement so easily, without knowing the truth?- Now he has done everything he could by giving her an opportunity to get close to him and now only has to wait for her to do whatever she wanna do. -Let's wait and see what you are planning.- He started doing his work and got busy with it. Whereas on the other side, a girl's mind was about to burst from thoughts. -Wasn't it too damn easy?- -Is he that stupid or that easy to seduce?- -If it was that easy to seduce him then she has to think about it again. She can't marry such a pervert. She will be really disappointed in him.- Veronica knew nothing happened last night. It was just a passionate kiss, initiated by her. She wasn't drunk but was acting as being drunk and was acting as if she was doing everything under the in
"Now I don't wanna know."Veronica retorted.Her eyes were filled with firmness. She doesn't want to get more embarrassed than she already was.Before Victor could start anything else she decided to escape." I need to get ready for the training so I will be leaving first."Saying that Veronica scurried away immediately.Victor watched Veronica leaving with amusement and a smile appeared on his lips.But as soon as she left his eyes his smile also vanished and his face became cold.He looked at the signed papers. He doesn't love her, at least not yet. He had his reasons for signing this marriage agreement with her but love is not one of them. But he is attracted towards her though and there is something stopping him from converting this attraction into love.His emotions were complex as he looked at the signature on the papers. The phone in his pants vibrated. He took it out and after checking the caller id he accepted the call and only said four words."Come to my office."After say
"Marriage agreement??"Veronica asked in disbelief."Incase you decline your responsibility towards me." Victor replied."Wasn't it that the guy has to be the one to take responsibility in such cases? Why am I the one taking responsibility here? And I don't even know till now what I have done to you to take responsibility.""What do you think you did?"Victor said in a mocking tone."........"Veronica really wanted to smack his face."I am not signing it unless you tell me what really happened."Victor looked at Veronica who looked nervous, confused, angry and frustrated."I knew it. You never wanted to take responsibility. Look how you have refused to sign these papers. You were just putting words and weren't planning on taking action. If not you would have signed the paper without saying anything. Now you are making excuses.""I just want to know what really happened last nig-""Excuses! Excuses! These are just Excuses. You wait here. I am gonna let everyone know what kind of person
In the middle of the night two phones dinged. Amber looked at the pic sent by Aunt Lucy and smiled.-Plan accomplished!-She put down the phone and went back to sleep. It was her plan. First she made Veronica drunk then she tipped a waiter and booked all the empty rooms in the hotel so that Victor couldn't find any room for Veronica and third step was she made a call at home telling her father to come pick her up as she was drunk, can't drive but she miss them and wanna go home tonight.Aunt Lucy was her partner in crime as she gave all the maids and servants an early off today. It wasn't a high profile plan but rather a simple one but Victor still got played in the hands of these two women. It wasn't that Victor was not smart, it was just that he never would have thought that the tricks Amber used on Lucas can also be used on him by her.He was overconfident in himself and underestimated Amber and thus was caught off guard by her. He still didn't know that he got played by his own
"Aunt Lucy, I-I will take her to the room."Without waiting for Aunt Lucy to respond he carried her princess style and walked inside the house quickly. He was flustered thus he didn't notice Aunt Lucy taking pictures in her phone with a greedy but gentle expression. She looked at the pictures she had taken and after ascertaining that the pictures looks Ok she sent it to two people. After doing that Aunt Lucy walked away towards the servant quarters while humming a tune.Victor carried Veronica to the room where she stayed when she just came here or rather say when she was kidnapped and was taken here.Although the room was not used after she emptied it, it was still clean as Aunt Lucy would from time to time ask the maids to clean it. The room looked like it was cleaned just now.Victor put Veronica on the bed and gently pushed a pillow under her head and covered her with a warm blanket. After turning on the room heater and switching off the lights he was about to exit the room when
As Veronica was pushed away she groaned as her ice cream was stolen away from her.She glared at Victor and without any warning jumped on him.When the car reached its destination, two of the three people in the car felt like their survival was in front of them after crossing a jungle full of danger.Victor stepped out of the car as soon as the car came to a halt. His well styled hairs were now unruly as if he hadn't washed his head for three days. The upper two buttons of his shirt were open and the third one was missing from its place. His face was as red as a tomato and he looked like he had taken a long sprint as he took long breaths to calm his beating heart down which was beating at an abnormal rate and he could hear his heartbeat in his ears.He looked at the car warily.Without Victor knowing the driver has already slipped away silently leaving Veronica in the car for Victor to deal with. It was the first time for him to see Victor being patient with a girl and a drunk one at
