"Zoey." I gasped out of disbelief. My eyes widen at the person in front of me."In the flesh," she answered with a smirk on her face."What's going on? Why are you here?" I asked in a voice that I hoped would hide the panic I was feeling inside."Oh, come on, Mani. Do you really have to ask me that? You can't be that dense." She asked with a smug smile."Why... why are you doing this?" I stutter out, my eyes blurry."I don't know Mani; why would I do this?" she said, with a creepy smile. She keeps answering every question with a question of her own, with her hands crossed together."What do you want? Why would you do something like this?" I think she was done playing because the look in her eyes changed."What do I want? You are seriously asking me when you are the cause of everything." She screamed. She looked like a complete lunatic, totally different from the Zoey I knew. I couldn't believe my eyes, even with her standing in front of me andI felt the ping of a needle numb my heart
In what felt like an hour, I managed to successfully pull my hands out, and I winced in pain. I bent down to free my legs. running to the door barefoot. I opened it slightly, not wanting to attract any attention. I peered out to see if there was anyone out there, breathing out in relief when I saw no one.I opened the door, running out with no idea where I was going. I saw pieces of glass on the floor and picked up one in case I needed to defend myself. I kept on running until I slammed into a wall.No, not a wall, but a person.I slowly raised my head to see Marcos staring down at me with a demonic smile on his face. He grabbed my head tightly, making me wince in pain."I guess it's my turn to have fun," he says slyly. His grip tightened, almost pulling out my skull.I remembered the broken battle piece on my hand and used it to stab him in the waist. While loosening the grip on my head, I didn't stop there and kept stabbing him till he didn't move. I had blood splattered all over my
Sin pov.I felt like crap; I wasn't myself. It was like I was going to faint any moment now. I walked over to where Alesso sat, typing repeatedly on the laptop in front of him."Any update yet?" I asked him for the hundredth time since he came."The picture has been proven to be fake; whoever did it was an expert. They knew you would probably check to see if it was Photoshop and made sure you wouldn't be able to notice this:” Alesso says, empathizing with each word. "This took time; whoever did this was not in a rush, meaning they were well orchestrated.""Have you been able to pinpoint where she might be taken?" I growled."Sincerely, I'm trying my best. It's not easy to...""I don't care; I don't want you to try your best. I want you to find her; this is a matter for Mani and my child. So you better find her, or you will be sorry, Alesso." I threatened him and suddenly groaned at the sharp pain I felt in my head.It was like my head was being split in two. I felt a hand on my should
I was weak; I could barely move a hand or even blink my eyes. I was tied to a chair just like before, with dried blood plastered on my face. My head felt heavy, and my ears rang. I slowly began to regain consciousness, and my eyes finally opened.I was in a different room, and I'm guessing a different location from before. This room was dark, like the last one, but had no window. The only source of light was the white, dim light that kept blinking constantly.It looked a little cleaner than the last place I was kept, and it looked more like a basement. Because of how closed off the place was, I couldn't tell if it was morning, evening, or what day it was, but one thing was for sure: I had been passed out for some time, sipping in and out of consciousness.I can’t believe I was caught and kidnapped again after being this close to freedom. My throat hurt so much that I could hardly speak, and my body kept shivering due to how cold the place was. The smell of blood wasn't making it easy,
Sin's Pov.I walked into the kitchen, where Zoey sat with Samantha. As they both chatted among themselves, I walked to where the fridge was, in the same direction Zoey sat. My hand touched hers teasingly, the same way she did when I set out to look for Mani.These past few days, even though I was this close to losing my mind. I had to maintain my calm and not do anything rational. I have been leaving hints around her, making her think that I have some kind of feeling for her.I made my way to the fridge, taking out a bottle of water. I opened it, drinking it slowly, and little drops fell on my chest. According to Luca, this was an act of seductiveness, and ladies like it, though i agree to disagree with him.This was just pure foolishness.After I was done drinking, I threw the empty bottle into the dirt bin, brushing past her again as I made my way to my office, where Luca and Alesso were. I took a seat in my chair, my hands clenching tightly."How did it go? Did she fall for it?" Al
"Why isn't she waking up?" I pace back and forth around the room while Mani lays on the bed, eyes closed. It's been three days since we saved her from Zoey; doctor Fernandez had checked her up and the baby. He was surprised at how strong the baby's heartbeat was, despite everything Mani had to go through.My baby girl was a fighter, just like her mom. I don't know the sex yet, but I have this feeling deep in my heart that it's going to be a girl. a beautiful girl, just like her mother.But right now, despite the doctor's assurance that she was going to wake up, here she was, eyes closed."She's home, Sin; she is safe." Luca was also in the room, sitting on the couch and watching me pace around the room. "Like Dr. Fernandez said, her body needs to regenerate. She has been through so much; I'm sure she will wake up anytime soon."I know, but it's been three days, and I can't stop the anxiety I feel till I see those beautiful blue eyes staring at me again.""Your pacing won't solve anyth
The water trickled down my hair to my shoulders and back in the same manner. I washed the vanilla-scented soap off my hair as it stuck to my body. Turning the water off, I stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my body.I stand in front of the mirror, wiping off the fog from it, to get a better look at my reflection. I looked at the tiny, barely visible scar on my forehead and let out a sigh. You could hardly see it except if you were very close to me, and my hair plays a major part in covering it up.I walked out of the bathroom and into the closet, looking for a comfortable shirt to put on. It was in the afternoon, and I had already had my lunch. After dressing up, I walked out of the closet to the bed to lie on it. I took out my phone, went through my message box, and replied to the messages sent by my aunt and Stephanie. I chatted with Stephanie for some time before she went offline since she had a lecture. I got tired of lying on the bed and thought of what to do.
"Please. Please." I gave my best puppy face."No, Mani, you need rest." Sin said. "And nice try with the face; no matter how insanely cute you look, I’m not going to fall for it."I huffed, making my way out of the bed to the balcony. I was trying to convince him to let me go out of the house, even if it's for an hour. But instead, as always, he is being stubborn; he won't listen to me. All he keeps saying is that I needed more rest. Like what I have been doing for the past one month wasn't enough. I stood there in the balcony for a few minutes waiting for him to come out as well, to convince me, but he didn't.That stubborn manI left the balcony when I couldn't handle the cold anymore, walking back to the room to find it empty. I walked out of the room and down to the dining room to find him sitting there, happily munching on his dinner. I glared at him, but he didn't bother acknowledging my presence. His focus was cast down on the plate of spaghetti and meatballs in front of him.I
