Opening her eyes, she expected to be surrounded by the

atmosphere of a hospital room but what she saw was

definitely not that. It was a dark creepy room with no

connection to the outside except a tiny little ventilation and

the door.But there was no way she could get even near the

door because her hands and legs were both tied in a way

that there were marks on them. Confusion filled her eyes as

to how this had happened as she had fainted in public.

Almost suddenly the door flew open and in came a group of

masked men, with a leader in the front, leading them. Once

again terror filled her eyes but when the leader showed

himself in front of her, she knew she was going to die in a

few minutes. It was her most trusted but scary colleague.

Under his glare, she managed to utter, “Why did you do this?

How could you?” She managed to glare at him. But he

only smiled, “All I want is the company,

if you give it up then I'll let you go.”

In response to that she got a little

smart, “Never. My family is bound

to find you and when they do,

you're dead.” Again he smiled but

this time it didn't look like a pleasing

one and without a word he left with

his men, leaving her worried as hell.
