Chapter 21- Who are they?

Fiona's POV:

What happened to me?

Where am I?

I opened my eyes but my eyes burnt as soon as they met the bright light around me.

In a great pounding headache, it felt my skull will explode at any moment spattering all brain matters.

I took a deep breath; at least I was alive.

I turn my head and looked around my surrounding. I was in a big room, beside the chair I was sitting, there was a bed, a bedside table, a large window, white curtains, a big painting.

It seemed like a decent bed room. Nothing abnormal was there.

But soon, I began to sweat when realized in which position I was in.

My heart was beating erractically in fear.

I was sitting on a chair and my hands and feet were bound with rope.

Same condition; only difference is, this time I am not shaking in cold.

What's the use of screaming for help when I know that no body will be able to hear me. Or even if somebody hears me, he will not come to help me

So, I sat there silent.

Please God, help me. Please keep me and my child safe.

I prayed.

Thats the only thing I could do right now.

I dozed off slowly but awakened with a jolt when heard the sound of door opening. A chilling dread hit my core, having me transfixed.

A man entered the room and two men followed him inside. All of them were dressed in black suits. They all were very tall almost 6.2 feet and well built. My heart skipped a beat in fear when I saw the look on their faces; their faces were very serious and hard.

I tried to act calm and brave. But inside me there was a storm going on.

"Hello." The man who entered the room at first spoke up.

His eyes didn't move a bit while saying this, face was emotionless. He almost looked like a programmed assassin robot.

I audibly gulped but brushed off my fear.

"I believe you haven't kidnapped me to exchange pleasantries?" I jeered narrowing my gaze at him.

His eyes widened a bit at first, clearly showed that he didn't see that coming from me. His lips curled into a side smirk in amusement.

Oh God! Then it proved he was a human, real human not any kind of programmed assassin robot.

"Who are you and what do you want?" I asked him getting to the main point.

Yeah, they kidnapped me and they must have a purpose.

"Miss Fiona, am I right? I am Dev Rivera. And you are right, we didn't brought you here to exchange pleasantries. We are want something from Adam Knight. He is the leader of our rival mafia group. So you are here."

I listened everything befuddled. Again Adam Knight?! Why this curse named Adam doesn't let me go?

But if they wanted something from Adam then, they should kidnap Adam instead of me. I have nothing to do with what they want.

"But what does it have to do with me in the first place. Do I look like Adam Knight to you?" I inquired trying to keep my irritation and anger at a bay.

But the person's face hardened again, obviously he didn't like my smart answer.

Damn Fiona! Watch your mouth. You are already in lot of trouble. Don't make your mouth bring you in the deep shit than you already are in.

I mentally cursed myself.

"I mean to say, I am not Adam Knight, it's not that I know him. Then I am not the right person. Please don't waste your valuable time on me gentlemen and let me go." I tried my best to sound polite and gentle. Because they were the people in power.

"Don't lie that you don't know Adam Knight. You have been staying in his house." He yelled suddenly, his nostrils were flaring in anger. I instantly stiffened at his harsh tone. If I could I would make a hole and hide myself in there.

"Believe me, I was there against my will. I don't know anything about him." I cried. Tears rolled down cheeks overflowing my eyes when the horrendous memories began replaying inside my brain.

God! Please save me, why are you drawning me in this suffering?

"Shut up bitch! I know you are Adam's girl that's why he killed Michaelson for you." One of the men from behind bawled out, pointing his index to me.

"Heddy! Stop shouting. Watch your mouth." Dev warned the man and he instantly shut his mouth.

I was left bewildered. My mouth hung open in shock. What were they thinking? I am not Adam's girl, he rarely treated me like a human being, let alone I would be his girl.

"No, no. You guys have misunderstood actually. I am not his girl, he kidnapped me. He tortures me every day." I broke into tears.

"Stop lying Miss Fiona. I am being civil with you, you should also be truthful with me. I could take you to my whorehouse and get you locked up there. My men would fuck you for free. But I didn't do this. Because I want you to help me. Stop lying about Adam's relationship with you. Why would he kill Michaelson for touching you if you weren't his girl? We saw the CCTV footage. And to be honest, even if you are not his girl, I am sure enough that you are someone significant in his life. Or he would never kill Michaelson for touching you who was his one of his best business partners? And he even killed Max and Michail too for you." Dev affirmed.

"He was the one to sell me at that night. If I were his girl why would he do that and why did he introduced me as a whore that night? Which person does that to his girlfriend?" I told them logically.

"Adam is different than any other person. But one thing I know Adam never does anything to harm his business. He doesn't hesitate to kill newborn baby alive for money but he killed Michaelson and I am sure this caused him loss nearly a billion. Because they had multiple projects going on. So even if you are not his girl, I am sure you are important enough to him and I can use you." He stated what he believed.

I couldn't say anything. Because I was speechless. Even I was surprised to know this.

But it was funny actually. They kidnapped me to use me as a collateral against the person who wants to kill me. Little did they know how stupid they were, because Adam will never come to look for me. If they kill me, then he will be happy. Because it's also Adam's ultimate purpose to kill me, extract his revenge.

"Please believe me. I am not anyone important enough in his life. Otherwise why would he torture me? beat me day after day?" I reasoned desperately.

He pinched his nose being frustrated hearing my same rant. But I was telling truth.

"Listen. I don't know what are you saying are true or not but I am sure of one thing that you are somebody he will fight for and come for. Adam held my one of brothers hostage. I will call him to come here with my brother and we will leave you. So you better pray he comes. If he doesn't... then I will have to do something severe with you miss." Dev said, his tone was chilly and sharp this time indicating he meant everything he said.

"Whatt?" I chocked on my sobs.

"I will call Adam and inform him that we have hold you captive. Let's see whether he comes to save you or not. If he comes, you can be free or else your parmanent address will be my whorehouse. Because, I am a businessmen and it never had happened before that I did something but couldn't make a profit out of that. If kidnapping you can't get my brother back then I must sell you. Or else my effort to kidnap you will go in vain. And apparently it's quite visible that I can make a lot of money selling you." Dev dryly explained.

After hearing this, I couldn't understand if it was a nightmare or reality. I closed my eyes and opened them again.

Before me, I saw them standing. Then it was all real.

Are all the mafia brains this fucked up?!

Adam made me his whore, he treated me like an animal, he killed my father, brother cruelly. I am nothing but a pawn of revenge to him.

There is no way that he will come to rescue me. In the end, I will be sold. And if he gets to know this he will be happy; his revenge will be extracted ultimately.

He will revel at my suffering.

God! Then was it really my fate? Being a whore!

Which sin have I committed! All I ever wanted was living my life with dignity, with the person I loved, with my family. Was it too much to ask for God!

And my child? What will happen to that poor soul who is growing slowly inside me without knowing how cruel the world is.

Will his mother be able to save him when she couldn't save herself from the cluches of hungry animals?

God give me strength, give me patience. I don't know how long I will be able to keep my sanity.

Dev reached near me and unknowingly a yelp escaped my mouth in fear. I thought he would touch me or hurt me.

"Relax. You are my hostages but you are not any criminal. I kidnapped you but my purpose is not torture you. So for now you can stay in this room as you please." He started untying my hands and feet.

After that getting out of the ropes, I rubbed my hands and skin. My hands and feet almost went numb.

"And one thing, don't try to run. Even if you try you won't be able to. And even if you are able to escape this room, you won't be able to escape this 400 acres estate. And any escape attempt will make you end up in my whorehouse. So, my advice is stay here decently. We are not mistreating you yet." They left the room locking the door from outside.

I stretched my legs and hands and stood up. I sat on the bed comfortably. Sitting at the same spot for a long tike is not good in pregnancy. I again stood up and started pacing thinking how to get out of here.

After some time, a man entered the room with food and water and left. I sniffed the food before eating them. They didn't seem spiked. Spiked food could harm my baby.

I quickly ate the rice and vegetables.

Third person's POV:

In Japan,

Adam was visiting a place for his new Industrial project with his Japanese partner Sirosuke Yamazaki. His phone rang suddenly. He creased his brow when he saw the caller ID. It was one of his trusted man Lukas.

"Hello, what's up? Everything is alright?" Adam received the call.

"Boss!" Lucas was silent for some seconds.

"Lucas, if you have anything important to say better tell me. You are wasting my time." Adam snapped irritatedly.

"Sir, Miss Fiona escaped." Lukas spoke.

Rage bubbled inside Adam hearing this.

"What! How could this happen?" He roared.

"Sir, most of us today went to Florida. I was also supposed to go but I returned from midway. Our men who were left at your mansion, all found unconscious. Even all the maids are found unconscious too. Power connection of CCTV cameras were cut off. So, we don't have any video footage. Most of them are still unconscious. Boss, I called our doctor to look at them. He told me they were all drugged. Now what should we do?" Lucas explained everything to him.

"Lucas, it's good that you called the doctor. I am coming. But the way you described it sounds like a well implemented plan. And the person behind this plan is not any outsider. I want to see if there is anybody whose blood doesn't have the drug. He will be the culprit. So, quickly run a blood test on everyone." Adam said and cut the call.

"Mr. Yamazaki, I apologize but I must have to return America as soon as possible. An emergency came which demands my immediate presence there. Please try to understand." Adam aplogizes to Mr. Yamazaki.

"It's alright, Mr. Knight. We can do this again. You go to America and take care of the situation first." Mr. Yamazaki told him.

Adam got into his private jet and returned to United States.
