I wake up feeling as if I was just hit by a bus. I try to move out of my sitting position but I feel thick rope holding me down. When I open my blurry and heavy eye lids I look down at my body, ropes criss cross over my chest, tying me to a chair while my wrists and ankles are tied also. I struggle looking around, my heart rate now excelling normal.

All I see is junk around me, it seems we're in an old abandon building. Buckets of plaster, plastic sheets and paint tools are spread around. I scan the area, the room I'm in is rather small, over to the far left there's a door leading out or into another room. All the widows, which I count to be three are smashed out, allowing the cool wet air of the night to whistle in around me. The glass on the floor reflects the dim moon light. By the look of the ground outside I discover I'm still on the bottom floor, but I have no idea where I really am. I look up to see the ceiling has many water stains and the only light source is two hanging light bulbs.

I struggle more, trying desperately to get out, tears now welling up in my eyes from fear. The more I struggle the more the ropes burn my skin. I give up, looking around for something I could grab to set me free. There's plenty of glass but there's no way I could pick it up with my arms and body tied back. I try scooting over to it but I almost tip over, and falling on glass wouldn't help my situation.

I sit there, listening to anything that would alarm me but it's practically silent. Why am I here? What's Theo planning on doing? Were the men that took me the same men I saw walking out of my house? The one with the scorpion tattoo and the other with the gold tooth.

I jump when I hear the door open, my back is turned to it but even if I wanted to turn and see I couldn't; my whole body is frozen, petrified.

"Honey I'm home" I hear Theo say sarcastically and I instantly start shaking with fear as he comes around into my view

He stands in front of me but I keep my head down, my eyes on his leather work shoes "nothing to say?" He asks just as two other men walk in "does guilt have your tongue tied in a knot?" He growls

I look up slowly, making sure my head stays low. I see the two men, the man with the scorpion neck tattoo, who looks the same as last time I saw him, the same grimy smirk on his face and dark intimidating eyes. He stands next to a different, much taller man, his skin is dark with a natural tan, although most of it's covered with large and provocative tattoos. He even has two on his face, I think one's a spider on his jaw and the other a gun on his cheek. His black hair is long wiry curls, resting on his neck and a cigarette bud hangs from his thin lips. He stares at me with blue eyes and his dark goatee looks corse as he rubs it.

"Did you think I wouldn't find out?" Theo growls, bending down to me, placing his hands on the arm rests, I pull back holding in my tears "Where's your phone honey? Want to call anybody? That cop maybe? Or Vincent perhaps? I know you have that phone and I know you were talking to that cop you dirty bitch" he snaps and I gasp

"No! no, I swear I wasn't" I cry "I only today say him in the store! I swear I didn't tell him anything" I plea, begging him to forgive me

"But you did tell Vincent? Did you not?" He growls, his spit landing on my face, I stay quiet as my sobs slowly break through my tight throat "I know everything" he sneers

"You thought he could buy your father out of my company? Aren't you a clever girl but no I'm one step ahead, I'm always one step ahead!" He barks and I bow back, my whole body shaking uncontrollably

How the hell did he find that out "I'm sorry" I cry, praying he won't do anything to Vincent

He scoffs rolling his eyes "I wasn't out of town these past two days; no, I was having my men follow you and boy did we find some interesting things" he smirks

I gasp, the day's events coming back to mind, making my heart skip a beat

"Yes indeed, I don't know if you noticed but I put a bug in your purse before I 'left' " he laugh, I think back to Sofia telling me Theo was rummaging through my bag before he left "we heard every word, I should thank you actually, there is no way in hell we would have been able to find Mrs.King, Edward defiantly kept it under the books and to think the book lady is actually Vincent's real Mother!" He laughs loudly holding his stomach "now if that's not a scandal I don't know what is" he smirks, I'm surprised he didn't mention the pictures I received the day he supposedly left...maybe it really wasn't him "you see the bug went dead right before you went to that store so we have no idea what you said to that cop, my men followed you in-" was it the two men who went by me when I was talking to officer Bailey? The men he stared wide eyed at while speaking? "But they didn't catch anything except the fact he was a cop!" He yells

"I didn't say anything" I tell him honestly, the thought of my parents come into my mind, right after I left the store Mom called and then... "where's my mom" I demand

He smirks "oh don't worry you'll see ol' Ma' and pa' very soon" he laughs

Where are they? What has he done to them? "I swear if you-"

"Darling, darling" he swoops over to me and smashes his fingers against my lips, hushing me painfully "you have nothing, so please do us all a favour and shut the fuck up" he slowly backs away, eyes icy blue and spine chilling "damn I swear living with you and having to deal with that mouth of yours these past five years almost wasn't fucking worth the money" he runs a hand down his stubbly face, stroking his sharp jaw line

"now Ramsey get me her purse" he says and the taller man with all the tattoos gives me one look over and walks out

Why does he want my purse?

Ramsey comes back in, holding my purse and hands it over to scorpion man who smiles creepily "now Rico-" Theo says and I look at the man holding my bag "find me the key"

What key? My breathing gets faster as I try to figure out what he means but then it hits me. He heard me and Amanda talking...the key to Vincent's place "what do you want with a key, the only key I have is my car" I say with a shaky voice

He rolls his eyes and sticks out his hand behind him to Rico. He digs in my purse and I pray to god he doesn't find it or maybe it fell out. But when he pulls out that golden piece of metal my whole body sinks and my heart pounds. Rico smirks at me and I stare wide eyed at him as he hands Theo the key. Theo smiles and holds it up, inspecting it and making sure it's the right one and he nods with a smile when it is.

Rico pulls something else out and it looks like a small device, hardly bigger than a penny, I take it that's the bug "look what else I found" he laughs dropping it and stepping on it with a loud laugh, causing both Ramsey and Theo to look at him and then down at the broken device

"Idiota!" Ramsey smacks Rico in the back of his head and Theo rolls his eyes

"We could have fixed it you dumb fuck" Theo growls massaging his temples "whatever" he says letting out an irritated sigh, Ramsey stills scolds Rico "anyways...Rico take Tommy and-" he smiles at me "go get the prick" he hands back the key

"No! No please! He has nothing to do with this you piece of shit!" I yell pulling and prying my hands and wrists from the rope, having no luck

Theo turns to me as Rico walks out and I try to scoot over to the door, praying to god he won't get him "no, no honey stay a little while" Theo chuckles pulling the chair back over to him

I cry as he forces my turned face to look at him, I try keeping my face away from his but next thing I know a solid punch is delivered to the left side of my face. I feel the chair begin to tip but before I fall to the glass scattered floor, Theo hoists me back up. My face is still turned from him, my body in shock from the punch as the throbbing begins around my eye.

I turn back to him, anger flowing through my veins, but I stay quiet knowing if I say anything else it won't be pretty "why won't you ever listen" he sighs as I turn my eyes to him, my hair covering most of my face and vision "if you weren't so fucking nosy, if you didn't go fall for that prick" he scoffs "then all of this wouldn't have happened, we'd still be together with no one interfering, I'd be playing you and your father like little puppets, no cops would be involved, you wouldn't know about my empire, your fucker little boyfriend wouldn't be so damn annoying and try to make you think you can actually beat me" he sighs shaking his head "to think I actually thought I wanted him involved" he says to himself "it would just be so simple, but you had to get all strong and mighty and fall in love with Mr.un-made-player who decides it's a good idea to fall in love with my wife and mess everything the fuck up" he groans rolling his eyes

Anger takes controls over my mouth "I'd rather be with Mr.un-made-player than Mr.fuck-everything-with-two-sets-of-lips" I spit leaning towards him

His jaw clicks and his hand clenches as he raises it to deliver another hit, but he recoils his fist and relaxes "and it's because of that fucking mouth that people have to die today" he says

My eye bulge and tear automatically spring to my eyes at his words "no, you can't" I say breathlessly

He laughs "oh but I can" he smiles "don't worry I've got it all figured out, your father will no longer be of need in my operation, I've got a few loop holes and by the time your father's dead it'll be discovered he was killed by the Russian mafia after he crossed them by selling drugs to there enemy and the mafia took him and his family, I'm sure I can work Vincent's family in the lie too" he says "don't worry we have the people to pin all the murders on" he reassured me and I fight rolling my teary eyes "after that I'll go on selling my drugs like I was with no one to rat" he says looking me up and down "not your damn self or your sad excuse for a father" he says "I would prefer to keep it the way it is, less blood" he grimaces "but it has to be done" Theo shrugs

I shake my head, tears falling down my cheek, he really does have it figured out...he has it all planned "how do you know I won't escape?" I ask trying to stay calm and instantly he laughs, I know I won't but I just want to get a feel of how many of his people there are here

"That would be a miracle considering I've got people at every. single. exit" he laughs pronouncing each word while hitting Ramsey on the chest and the hard looking man finally cracks a grin

"you ass hole" I spit "you'll get caught! And you'll get what you deserve" I growl

He back hands me and my teeth cut into my lip and cheek, the taste of copper exploding in my mouth. I lick my lips, feeling the thick crimson liquid trickle down my chin. I spit the blood out on his shoes and I hear him growl "tape this bitch, I can't deal with her mouth for another minute" he says and I see his fists ball, itching to hit me again

Ramsey walks over and rips off a thick piece of duck tape and I struggle pulling away from him but he slaps it over my mouth, pulling it tight, keeping all the blood trapped in my mouth. Ramsey backs away and stands in the same place he was, now crossing his strong arms.

"Don't worry honey, your saviour will be here soon" he sings "too bad there won't be any saving today" he says turning to Ramsey while I stare angrily at him, my heart pounding for Vincent
"Watch her, I've got to see if-" he cuts himself off smiling "our other locations occupants are ready"

His eyes stay on me as he walks out, my body unconsciously relaxes as he leaves. I stare at Ramsey but he stands motionless, like a statue, his blank face void of emotion.

Hours, or what feels like hours, go by before I hear another sound. Ramsey is over leaned up against the wall next to the broken window. He cups his hands around his cigarette as he snaps open the lighter, the orange flam flickers causing the light to stretch across his face in the low light of this shity place.

He breaths in and puffs out a grey cloud of smoke. The smell of it spreading within seconds. I try holding my breath at the strong smell but with the tape covering my mouth, smelling and breathing is one in the same right now.

There's a ringing that breaks the silence of this god forsaken abandon building and he answers. I have no idea what he's saying because he's speaking spanish. I have picked up some things from Sofia but he's speaking so fast it's hard to translate.

He snaps his phone closed and looks me over just as I hear footsteps coming closer. I struggle hoping its not Theo coming back. I turn my head to the door as I hear Ramsey pulling up a chair, that was on the ground, behind me, in front of me.

The door open and I gasp, tears sprouting to my eyes as I see who it is, the façade of me being strong torn down at the sight. Two men, one being Rico and the other I think was Tommy, carries in a limp Vincent, a sack covering his face. My muffled cries are no use with the tape, but I still try to scream. I struggle in the chair and rope but the rope only digs deeper into my skin, raising more tears to my eyes. Oh god what if they hurt him? Did he try to fight back? How did they even get him?

They bring him over to the chair and place him in it. I scoot closer to him but Rico holds me back, while Ramsey takes over his place. My body craving to get closer to his before they hurt him. The two men tie him up just as they did to me, Rico bends down and bites my earlobe. My neck hitches as I try to get away, my eyes focused on Vincent while Rico's hot laughing breath fans over my neck and his lips purse on my skin. Running his tongue across my shoulder makes me shiver in disgust I turn to him and smack my head against his.

He falls back holding his nose while the other two laugh "dumb ass don't mess with that one, she's feisty" Tommy laughs smirking at me

"Bitch" Rico growls walking back over to the other two men, still holding his bloody nose while my forehead throbs

"Ramsey" Tommy nods his head to him "Boss wants you, scope out the route to our-" he looks back at me "next place" he says quietly

Is that next place where we die? I ask myself. No one knows we're out here, I don't have a phone to call Officer Bailey, no one really care about where I am, except Vincent...and he's sitting across from me.

"You got it" he says in a deep gruff voice as he uncrossed his arms and walks over to the door, leaving us

Rico groans wiping the blood away and Tommy rolls his eyes, swatting the back of Rico's head "stop your groaning"

"You try getting head butted" he complains back

I pay no attention to there on going bickering, my eyes are focused solely on Vincent. Tears cloud my eyes as I look at him, this is all my fault. Theo's right, if I hadn't fallen in love with Vincent none of this would have happened and he would still be safe...but also knowing him has made me a person I wouldn't have known or become without him and I love him...more than anything.

I try to say his name but again it's muffled "I can't wait for this guy to wake up, he gave me a real fucking punch and deserves a couple from me" Tommy growls angrily, looking down at the man I love

"The tables turned in there, I'm the one who got him" Rico smiles proudly but Tommy just rolls his eyes

"Shut up before I practice a few on you" he says cracking his knuckles

I try quietly getting closer to Vincent but the two men look at me after one movement. I sit back staring at Vincent, hoping the two bickering men will get so tangled in there argument that I can get closer to him.

We all hear a door close and footsteps but when Vincent stirs my mind forgets the footsteps and my eyes widen, I try getting closer. When I hear him speak my whole heart stops.

"What the hell" he growls pulling at his arms

I try desperately to form words to him, to tell him to be quiet and to tell him I'm here but no acknowledgeable words can be heard. He struggles more, obviously confused, Tommy smirks and walks over to him. I remember his threat and muffle curse words At him loudly, daring him to hurt Vincent. He stops behind Vincent and rips the sack off his head, revealing his handsome face.

He blinks rapidly, turning his head from the light as he try's to adjust to the sudden brightness. I lean towards him, smiling under the tape. He slowly lifts his head and blinks a couple more times before his eyes land on me. The golden orbs widen and his lips part in shock. I see his chest faulted in its breath as he looks me over.

"Adeline?" He says breathlessly

I smile but then I hear the footsteps getting closer I have a bad feeling it's Theo, I frantically start moving again wishing I could help protect him...I know Theo's going to hurt me by hurting him. He looks worried and tries to get closer to me as he struggles and I see the pain read on his face as he tries to get out of the rope.

"Fuck" he curses while new tears pour over my sore cheeks, the rest of my face throbbing

"Oh" I hear Theo say just as the door opens, I sink in my chair and the fear of him rests heavy in my heart as I hear his footsteps near

Vincent looks over at him, peeling his eyes from me and instantly pulling harder at the ropes, trying to get at him. Tommy and Rico hold him back, having trouble with Vincent's strength and will power to get out of that chair and go bash in Theo's head.

"He's here! now the fun can really begin!" He says placing his hand tightly on my shoulder "let's get started" he says in a tone I have come too accustomed to, this tone is one not heard by many and I knew whenever I heard it I was in for a new kind of hell...and I have a feeling this one will be worst of all
