------ 8 MONTHS AGO -------
Chris POV:-
Chris: Cassie Cassie......!
Scott: What is it?
Chris: Cassie's been hit. I heard someone. A man. We need to go.
Iris: I'll come with you.
Scott: No. Stay here. I'm driving Chris.
Chris: Okay. I better call 911
Lady: 911. What's your emergency?
They noted my report, asked for her phone number. I gave them her number and Info then I hung up.
Chris: I hope she's fine.
Scott: Yeah. Me too .
Scott kept driving until we reached the spot and we saw red and blue lights.
Detective: Who are you?
Scott: I'm Agent Scott Lu FBI. This is my friend Mr Hunt. He's the one who call the cops.
Detective: Nice to meet you both. I'm detective Bob Dean.
Scott: What's the status?
Detective Dean: We have searched the whole area.
Chris: Found anyone?
Detective Dean: No sir. Some things but no one else.
Chris:. What does that suppose to mean?
Detective Dean: I'm not sure but it looks like she's been kidnapped.
Scott: God. No. I was praying for this not to happened.
Chris: What do you mean?
Scott: The way you were explaining things. I knew that the situation is leading towards this mess.
Chris: If she would've listened to me. This wouldn't have happened.
Scott: Yeah. I know. But they think we consider them weak.
Chris: What do you mean?
Scott: Same about your sister. She thinks I think of her a weak person.
Detective Dean: It's like they wanted us to know that she's been kidnapped.
Scott: In the area like this we won't find anything more solid enough.
Detective Dean: Maybe ransom call will help. Or maybe a demand or something.
Scott: Yeah I guess so.
I didn't have any idea Where she would be? How she would be? Was she even alive? I was worried. Next day I went to work but couldn't focus. I was calling Scott time to time to ask him for updates. They haven't found anything, not even a call for any demand. I was worried to even think, what they would do to her. Something about her I always cared about her. In a different way. She always makes me smile. I just wish she would have listened to me. I knew she is tough but I also knew beauty with innocence is a curse.
Liam Hunt: Lu was asking if there are any calls or ransom has been made by the kidnappers.
Chris: That's the bad news dad. Nothing. Even Scott is curious.
Iris: About what?
Chris: He said it's been 2 weeks. They should have called if they have kidnapped her for money. He thinks it's something else.
Liam Hunt: What else could it be Chris?
Chris: We don't know yet. I talked to her father. Even he thinks this isn't about money.
Stella: Has anyone told anything to Mr Peterson.
Iris: Mom we've been trying to contact him.
Chris: Iris. Now is not the time.
Iris: Then when will be Chris? I'm starting to feel like he's some how involved in this whole kidnapping situation.
To be honest, I agree with her too but didn't want to break it to everyone. But I did said it to Scott and his father, Senior Detective Lu. Because they were handling the case.
----------- BACK IN TIME ---------
Scott: You got time Chris?
Chris: Sure. What is it?
Scott: We've got a man. It's something you wouldn't believe. You have to come with me.
Chris: What man?
Scott: Just come. Agent Wolf will be there too.
After 30 minutes drive. We reached to the police station. We walked in a room. Agent Wolf had Just arrived with us.
Agent Wolf: What's so urgent?
Scott: Come on. I'll show you both.
In Interrogation room we saw a guy sitting and cuffed with the table
Chris: What's going on? Who is he?
Scott: He's one of the kidnappers.
Chris and Agent Wolf: What?
Scott: He's on of them. He said he left them 3 weeks ago. She's alive but not well.
Agent Wolf: What do you mean?
Scott: Come we can ask him. He'll explain.
We all went to the Interrogation room.
Scott: Nelson Cal. This is Agent Wolf, senior FBI agent and Cassie's father. And this is Mr Hunt, he's a psychologist.
Nelson: Hi.
Agent Wolf: Where is my daughter?
Nelson: Hear me out I'm here to tell you everything. I will even take you there. Please.
Scott: Agent Wolf! He's our only lead in months. He knows where is she and how is she. Let's just hear him what he has to say.
Agent Wolf: Tell us everything. NOW.
Nelson: I worked for Jo Leo. Including me there were 4 guys almost my age, worked for him too. 10 months ago, we got paid millions for a simple job, to kidnap Cassandra Wolf. And also to get some inside information about Hunt's Tech's.
Chris: Who paid the money?
Nelson: Your rivals, Blacks. Hendrick Black.
Chris: What?
Agent Wolf: Why would Hendrick Black do something like that?
Chris: Hendrick Black is a bastard and would do anything to get what he wants.
Nelson:. We were told to get the information. A girl, and we were 5 men. We thought she would get scared and give up. We were wrong. She was a fighter. We tried to scare her but she didn't give up, then we tortured her. 8 months of hell and she hadn't said a word. Then three weeks ago, Hendrick Black came to our torture house, to ask us what we have achieved, which was nothing, she was too strong to break. Then he did something and I left because I have sisters too.
Scott: What he did?
Nelson: He raped her.
Chris: He did what?
David lost the ability to speak, he wasn't able to even stand. I hold him, make him sit on a chair. He was breathing heavily. His eyes were red with pain and rage. Tears rolling down.
Nelson: He raped her. She even told him that she's a virgin. But that monster didn't stop and she fainted. She woke up after 18 hours just to go through that pain again. Her screams, her painful sobs. I couldn't take that anymore. One of our guys tried to wake our boss, but he did nothing. So I left. But in these three weeks, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do anything. I could hear her screams in my head, day and night. And by every single passing moment, they are getting louder and louder. Until I couldn't bare them anymore and decided to help her instead of running away. Maybe, this will help me to finally have some peace. I can show you where they're keeping her. Hendrick Black is giving her hell. He's going to kill her. I just want her to be out of there
Scott put his hand on David's shoulder and said,
Scott: Let's get your daughter out of the hell.
-----------------------------------------
CASSIE'S POV:-
Hendrick Black:. I've underestimated you.
He said while dressing up.
Hendrick Black: I thought I will break you with this but you are one hell of a person. You lost your virginity, but still no word. I like that a lot. You're actually my type of woman.
Cassie: This is your time Hendrick, but soon my time will come and then you'll realize that with whom you were messing.
Hendrick Black: Now or then, you will be mine. No. YOU ARE MINE. You belong to no one.
Cassie: No and never. I will die but won't be with a monster like you.
Hendrick Black: You think people will accept you like this, broken. You will come to me, crawling. Begging me to marry you, love you. Or else I will kill you myself.
Cassie: I will never beg you. I will die but won't beg you. Because I know I don't have to be worried. I have people who will.....
He cut me in mid sentence.
Hendrick Black: Who will what? Accept you? You're day dreaming Cassandra. Your so called boyfriend has married to a billionaire woman. All I did is told him you're mine and gave him 20 million dollars. And what did he say you know? He said he couldn't imagine a middle class woman like you to be his wife. What a fool. Doesn't know what a treasure you really are.
I was shocked. I knew deep down that Sam Peterson is an opportunist, a bastard. But I haven't ever thought that after 2 years of relationship, he'll abandon me like that for money.
Hendrick Black: What happened darling? Out of words or got stuck in the fantasy that hungry bastard had created in your pretty head. You will come to me. He even knows where you are. But like a loyal dog, he won't speak.
Cassie: You can't break me. You think you'll succeed in your dark master plan to destroy Hunts. No. Never think for once that I'll let you win that easily.
Hendrick Black: Oh who cares for you to break or destroy the Hunts. This was never about them anyways. I want you and you're mine. I'll see you at night baby. Till then I'm leaving you with something that will remind you of me the whole day.
Before I could say anything, his lips came crushing mine. He roughly kissed me. I wanted to break free but he didn't let me. A minute or two later he released me. He had a smirk on his face.
Hendrick Black: Have a nice day.
With that he left me alone. I was crying on my helplessness. I've never felt so helpless before. In that moment all I was thinking about all the pain in my life caused by him. I knew he will come back and to it all over again. I wanted earth to swallow me before he returns. Or maybe God will show a bit mercy and I will die. He'll stop my breaths or my beating heart. I closed my eyes then there was nothing but dark.
--------------------------------------
JO'S POV:-
I heard them talking. I felt sorry for her. She wanted it all to stop. But that monster. All he cared about things he wanted for his benefits. The door opened and Hendrick Black came out
Jo: It's been 3 weeks. You still think you can break her.
Hendrick Black: Who wants to break her. As soon as she says yes.
Jo: Yes? For what?
Hendrick Black: To be mine. I can't force her to marry me you know.
Jo: That's what you're doing actually.
Hendrick Black: Which shouldn't be bothering you. Because I've paid you, so mind your own business. I'll be back at night.
With that he left. I heard her sobbing for a while, then it stopped. I guessed she must have fallen asleep.
Meg: Now what? You still won't do a thing?
Jo: Mind your damn business.
Rock: We are minding our business bro. You Know we haven't signed up for this. It was a simple job to get words out of her. What's happening now is totally opposite.
Andy: At least Nelson had guts to quit the time this all had started.
Nelson: Nelson also has guts to do more than quit.
Jo:. What the ...
Scott:Get on your knees, hands behind the head. Cuff them all you all are under arrest.
Agent Wolf: Where is my daughter? I swear to God if anything happened to her I will skin you alive.
Jo: In that room.
Andy opened the door and everyone got in.
Agent Wolf: Cassie. Baby wake up, look daddy's here.
Scott on earpiece: " We need the medics here."
Scott:. Agent Wolf. Don't loose it now. She needs you. I better call Mr Hunt.
--------------------------------------
CHRIS POV:-
RING RING RING....
Chris:"Yes Scott."
Scott: "We have found her. Nelson was right. Agent Wolf is taking her to the hospital."
Chris:" Which one?"
Scott:" I've already sent you the location. I'll be there as soon as I'll get these guests to their new room."
Chris: "Okay. See you there."
I drove as fast as I could. I didn't know why but I just wanted to see her with my own eyes that she's fine. I reached to the hospital, quickly parked my car and went straight to ICU where doctor just walked out of the room.
Agent Wolf: How is she?
Doctor: Your daughter slipped in to coma I can't say why. Her reports will be here soon. Maybe there is something we're missing. Right now I'm gonna suggest you to sit by your daughter. She needs you.
Chris: Thank you doctor?
Doctor: Lara. Lara Dusk.
Chris: Okay Dr Dusk.
Mr Wolf was sitting by her side and I was out. I called Iris and my parents. They also came rushing. About 6 hours later Dr Dusk came back.
Dr Dusk: How do you know Miss Wolf?
Chris: We're friends. She works in my father's company. We're more like family to her.
Dr Dusk: So I can talk to you about her. I feel like her father's not in a condition to be told.
Chris: Yes.
Dr Dusk: Okay then follow me.
We reached to her room. I sat on one of the chairs as she sat on hers.
Dr Dusk: Her reports arrived a few minutes ago. She's perfectly fine Mr Hunt. Yes, she was raped multi times brutally, mercilessly. But she will be fine. I think she doesn't want to live anymore. That's why she slipped into the coma. She has some injuries. But nothing too complicated for the coma situation. She's depressed, hopeless. The main problem here is, she needs to realize that it's not her time to die. You all have to do that together. She can hear you all. So instead of sharing sorrows and tears, you all need to share smiles and happy thoughts, happy moments with her. Make her feel that you all need her. You all have to try a lot harder to get her back.
CHRIS POV:-After talking to Dr Dusk. I talked to the others. I told them everything Dr Dusk had told me. We all decided to make happy talks around her. Tell her everything positive happened in last 10 months, and skip all the negative details.Chris:. Hey Cassie. How are you? They found your lucky charm. I had to beg to the officer to get it back.I just wanted to do something to make her wake up and see how much everyone is worried about her. I really couldn't see her like that. I just wanted her to open her beautiful eyes.&nb
CASSIE'S POV-Hendrick Black:. "Hello pretty face. Did you miss me my love?"Cassie:. "No! No it can't be."Hendrick Black:. "It can't be what my love?"Cassie:. "You can't be here."Hendrick Black:. "If you want me to to touch you then just say it. I'm not gonna say no to you."Cassie:." Stay away from me you monster."
Hearing my answer, Cassie buried her face in my chest. We stayed like that for a bit longer than usual. I've hugged her before but this time, it's different. It's was a warm and sweet hug.Cassie: Chris....She whispered.Chris: Hmmmm.....Cassie: It felt so good when you called me candy again.I smiled and hold her a bit more tighter. After a while, we broke the hug and I sat back on the couch. She looked at me with guilty eyes.
IRIS'S POV:-I watched as Scott's face was changing it's colors. He wanted to know whether I will accept him or reject him. Of course I'll accept. I will never reject him. He's the love of my life and I have a serious crush on him since childhood. Yes! Childhood. He is tall and handsome and he got cute curly hair and I always like those cute curls. His deep brown eyes and the way they sparkle every time he sees me. His sharp jawlines, the hottest thing I've ever seen. He was a dream man for me. And I've always idealized him since we were children. I wanted to say something to ease him up but my tongue wasn't moving at all. My words died, and I also wasn't moving at all. I was froze to my place. Cassie finally spoke and unfroze me.C
I woke up in the morning, bright and early. I was thankful to God that I didn't have any nightmare. Chris was right. With that I remembered my encounter with Chris. I love the feeling. I shake my head and looked at the clock, it was 7am. "Seriously, I woke up this early. I used to wake up this early when I had my job. I have to find a new job." I was thinking when someone knocked on the door.Cassie: Come in.Iris: Thank God you are up. Now move your butt and get ready. Vacations are over darling. Get your butt back to work.Cassie: Wait what? Work???
I was crazily looking everywhere. I searched her whole apartment twice, but nothing. I went back to her room to see what have I missed? And yes, I have missed one place to look, her closet. I opened the closet door and found her on the ground, sleeping. I sighed in relief, knowing that she's fine. I quickly dialled Iris. I knew my mother and Iris must be very worried by now.Iris: "Tell me you found her and she's okay!"Chris: "Yes. She is sleeping in her closet. I think she was crying and dosed off."Iris: "Oh! Thank God she's fine."Chris: "Tell mother and f
CHRIS's POV:-Time passed, everything started to get normal. Cassie was getting strong and confident again. We decided to keep our relationship to ourselves for a while until we figure everything out. My life was changing and I was happy after a very long time. After Emma, I wasn't looking for any relationship or wife in my future. But when I met Cassie it all changed. It was our routine, I drop her for work then pick her up every evening and we go to her apartment to have a little time together. Scott and Iris knew about it. Iris wouldn't shut up so we decided to tell her everything about our relationship. Besides, she always covered for us in front of our parents. We were on our way to Cassie's apartment. She was humming "My Love of Westlife." I love the sound of her humming that song. I find it really cute. I parked the car and turned
Chris: Why not! Place, do tell.Old man: My dear chatty wife. What's going on?Mallory: Christopher, meet my husband Ian Stevenson. And Ian this is chr…Ian: Christopher Hunt. The one and only.Mallory: you know him?Ian: Of course I know him.Chris: I'm sorry, but how?Ian: I've worked for your father.
CASSIE'S POV:-THREE YEARS LATER:-Iris and I exited the meeting room and went straight to the office we both used. We both used one room as our office. And everyone was su
CASSIE'S POV:-My mother stopped the car in front of the same building I had spent a year in. It was the worst nightmare of my life. She hopped out of the car and grabbed my hair. She pulled my hair and I stepped out of the car. Dragging me by my hair, she took me into the same bedroom where Hendrick had abused me for months.Cassie: Stop it. Why are you doing this? I did not do anything. Why do you hate me this much? You are my mother. You have already done enough to destroy my life. What else do you want?I yelled at her as she pushed me on a chair. Her gun was still pointed at my head, that was why I did not move. She pulled the police mark band and tied my hands and legs with the chair. She then backed away and started laughing hysterically.Christy: Me, your mother. How funny is this? You were adopted. Your mothe
CHRIS' POV:-Christy: Another step towards me or if anyone tried to play smart with me, I will blow her head off. Hands in the air everyone.She said and everyone did as she had told. Cassie was crying and looking at me with sad eyes. It looked like everything was finished. I did not think a mother could become a monster. Cassie's mother dragged her out of the courtroom. Even the police were not able to do anything. I was as shocked as everyone else was. It was a pure nightmare.Hendrick: Why is anyone not doing anything? She will kill her.Hendrick yelled loudly and that was when everyone turned to look at him. It was like we all were awakened by him.Agent Wolf: We need to stop her.Her father said and Scott pulled his phone out of his pocket. My mother started crying and Iris went to her. She signalled me to go an
HENDRICK BLACK'S POV:-Hendrick: You asked for it.I said as I stood up again. As she saw me fuming in anger, Mrs Wolf let go of my mother's throat. She shivered as I glared at her angrily. I could bear anything upon myself. But never upon my mother. She was an innocent woman. Who had nothing to do with my sins and my crimes. Mrs Wolf thought that I was keeping my mouth shut because I was worried about my reputation. I never cared about my reputation. Otherwise I would never have forced myself upon a woman in the first place. As per my mother, she was innocent and Mrs Wolf had awakened the monster inside me.Hendrick: You asked for it. It was not me who paid Jo and his gang. Agent Wolf, your wife was the one who paid them to kill Cassandra. She was the one who paid them. I know what I did was horrible. But at least my mother is not a monster like
CHRIS' POV:-The honorable Judge stood up after signing the decision he had written. He left and detective Dean nodded his head at me. I did the same and stood up. I wrapped my arm around Cassie's waist. Detective Dean went to Hendrick while a police officer cuffed him. They walked towards us and Hendrick stopped in front of Cassie.Agent Wolf hopped up and quickly came towards us. While Cassie stood bravely. But my mind was elsewhere. My eyes were glued to Mrs Wolf who looked unusually pale as Hendrick stopped in front of Cassie. She stood between agent Wolf and Hendrick. I was not the only one who was observing Mrs Wolf. It was because of the information detective Dean had found.Before the court proceeded, Detective Dean called me and told me something about Mrs Wolf. According to him, Mrs Wolf was meeting with Hendrick and the gang who kidnapped Cassie. Detective Dean asked around and found
CASSIE'S POV:-I was sitting on a bench in the courtroom. I was very nervous. My palms were sweaty due to the nervousness. Chris went away to talk to detective Dean in private. My father was sitting beside me. Hendrick's parents entered the courtroom and his father smirked while looking at my face. It made me think if Hendrick was up to something new. My phone beeped with a text message. I pulled my phone out of my clutch and checked the message.Norie: I am not there with you. But don't think of yourself alone. I am with you. Don't give up, Cassandra. You can do it. You can fight him. Don't forget, you are on the right path. You are just trying to save whatever you have worked hard to build again. Don't let him destroy you again. Instead, destroy him this time. I will eagerly be waiting for your reply. And I know it will be good news. Good luck and stay strong.I smiled reading her text. She was rea
HENDRICK BLACK'S POV:-Mr Black: I would say that I am thankful that you are our son and we don't have any daughter.My father replied bitterly and I gritted my teeth hearing his answer. I glared at him. He was alive because of the bars of the cell between us. Otherwise I would have killed my good for nothing father that very day. He forced my mother away while she did not dare to look into my eyes again. She was guilty.Hendrick Black: That is why I did not ask you that question, Mr Black. You are a cold hearted man. Who cares about nothing but his money, his business and his reputation.I yelled angrily as they went away. I kicked the bars hard then went back to my bed. I sat on the bed with my head in my hands. I wanted to kill that heartless man. I knew he was forcing my mother to say all that to me. Because when she learned th
HENDRICK BLACK'S POV:-I was sitting on the only bed that was in the jail cell they kept me in. It was the first day of the case. I already knew that Jo and his gang had already testified that I was the one who had paid them to kidnap Cassandra. And I raped Cassandra as well. It was true. I had paid Jo millions to kidnap her. And I had raped her. I was the cold hearted man everyone known as the monster. Monster, that was what she used to call me. Only if she would understand how I felt about her. But who could have told her. She loved that son of a bitch Hunt.I saw my parents coming towards the cell. I stood up and waited for them. I knew why they were visiting me. They were worried if something happened to me, they did not have anyone else to take care of the business they cared about most. At least my father was here for that specific reason. As per my brother, he never wanted to be part of that business. He made
CASSIE'S POV:-I was sitting in the cafeteria of the office. I was not allowed to leave the office without Mr Hunt. He strictly ordered that ever if I had to go shopping with Iris, we would have to go with either Mr Hunt, Chris, Scott or my dad. They were all extra cautious about me and my safety. I did not mind at all. Even though Iris tried to talk me through to get me to go shopping alone but I declined. Because I knew it was better to sit home than asking for trouble with Mr Hunt.Scott came in and took his seat. I called the waiter and ordered lunch for both of us. I had informed Mr Hunt that I had some things to discuss with Scott about the case. He allowed me to go to the office cafeteria. And Iris promised me that she would take care of my work until I would come back. To be honest, they were all a great support for me to fight that battle. It was a great relief knowing that I was not alone into this fight.
