Chapter 26 - Hollow!

Warning: Graphic content (A bit, I am not sure but some may feel) Sensitive readers are warned.Third Person's POV:Fiona was thrown inside the bathroom and they left locking the door from outside.Shoving her right index finger in her throat, she tried to induce a vomiting reflux, coughed hard to get the tablet out but couldn't it was too late.Sitting on the bathroom floor, she thought about herself, her life.One by one, events of her life flashed before her eyes.Her mom, dad, she herself, Zack... everyone...She tried to grasp the moments desperately but they faded.Now it's truth of her life. She had lost her mother, father, brother and even the unborn child.Her virtue, dignity was destroyed.She had nothing to lose anymore.God! I always believed you. Tell me what have I done to deserve this?I can't take it anymore God! I have already reached my limit.I have nothing to live for anymore. I don't want to live anymore.She prayed to God.After a few hours, her silent trance broke with an ear piercing scream coming out of her mouth.She gasped when an extreme pain erupted inside her, in the lower abdomen. The pain was increasing with every passing second."God!" She cried out loudly, her face grimaced in anguish.She felt like every organ inside her abdomen was being ripped out.Suddenly her eyes fell on the floor where she was sitting. The floor was red. She was already bleeding.Forgive me my baby, your mommy couldn't protect you. But don't worry mommy is coming soon to meet you.Fiona muttered, clutching her abdomen in angish."Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." her screams of excruciating pain was echoing throughout the bathroom.Huge amount of blood was coming out of vagina. It was like someone wad forcefully tearing her intestines, uterus out of her body through the vagina.Bitting her bottom lip, she tried to bear the pain but it was too much. Her lip started bleeding as she bit so hard but the pain was only increasing."Ahhhhhh. H-heeeelppppp meeeee.""Sooomeone helppppp meeee. Plllleaseeee.""Helppppppppppp." ear ppiercing screams tore free from her mouth, she felt like like her vocal cords would tear up too.Droplets of sweat were falling from the both sides of her face.But no body came to her aid.Her fingers were curled in the floor and digging fingernails in the tiled floor, she clawed the floor so hard that tip of my finger nails broke. The pain was intensifying, she was feeling difficulty to breathe suddenly. Her eyes were becoming blurry.She fell on the floor, on her stomach. She realized she was dying, every thing around her was getting far away from her, even she found her senses slipping away from her.No regret if she died, her life became hollow. Losing everyone, she even lost her existence.Again a blurry image of her family came before her eyes.But now she was happy, finally she would be reunited with her father, mother, younger brother and lastly the baby. She wouldn't have to face the cruel world anymore which never showed a bit mercy on her, not even when she was dying.Living her own life, she realized that life was nothing but a curse; now she was embracing death warmly.Suddenly, Fiona's body began convulsing, teeth were rattling. After a few minutes, her convulsion stopped and her body stilled on the hard bathroom floor, on her own blood.She was dying, but no one cared to look for her once....Meanwhile in Adam's place,Adam quickly dashed out of his mansion and got inside his car. Starting the engine, he drove at the full speed.He was feeling restless.He stopped his car infront of a small one story building.He knocked the door loudly and it was opened."Boss, you are here? Did you need anything? You could call me." The guard he appointed for this house spoke.Ignoring him fully, he strode inside the bed iroom.In a small room, Brian was sitting. He looked sick, like his age increased twenty years in past few months."Who are you?" Brian asked when his eyes met Adam.Adam didn't bother answering him."Is Fiona your real daughter? Are you her real father?" He screamed at him.Brian got confused at the sudden outburst of the stranger. He saw Adam for the fist time in his life. Moreover, he was demanding for answer for such a question which he and her wife kept hidden with their lives.He didn't answer. Suddenly a question rose in his brain. Fiona had been kidnapped for a few months. He tried every ways possible for him. Police, private investigators looked for her but couldn't find any trace of her. No body knew about her. It was like she was vanished in the air. He even started to think that Fiona, his daughter was no more.Could it be that this man had something to do with Fiona's missing? Or else how would he know about her?Might be Fiona was still alive. A weak hope ignited inside in his chest for her daughter.But main point was how did he know about her, even Fiona didn't know about this.Brian asked, "Who are you? How do you know Fiona?"Adam didn't answer either."Bloody old bastard, answer what you are asked." Adam said grabbing his collar. But Brian didn't seem to get scared."You are the one who captured her and forcefully got ourselves out of our house. Aren't you?" Brian question in a hard tone."Bloody old man, will you tell me or want me to blow away the head of your son?" Adam impatiently said taking out his gun, he needed answer quickly. Something inside him was screaming that he was already late."Tell me who are you? How do you know about this and why do you want to know this? Tell me or else I won't tell a single word." Brian stipulated his condition. He seemed unaffected by the gun. To reveal Fiona's identity to the world was way too dangerous if she were alive.Adam realized that his empty threat wouldn't waver Brian, so he told his man to bring Zack.When he brought the small boy inside the room, he got scared of Adam and seeing scary gun of his hand."Brian, I am telling for the last time, tell me the truth who is Fiona's father. Otherwise I am killing this little bastard of yours. I am running out of time." He pointed the gun at Zacks forehead.Zack cried out in fear. Adam's finger went to the trigger that's when Brian yelled, "Stopppp! I am telling you. But please take my son out of this room."Adam released the shivering boy and let her go out of the room."I am not Fiona's biological father. But Fiona is my daughter. She is and she will be always my daughter. I never saw her or loved her less than my own child. I married her mother after she was born." Brian admitted in a broken voice.Hearing Brian's confirmation Adam suddenly felt his throat became dry and cold shiver ran down his backbone.He suddenly fell on the floor and felt like nauseating.But the harm is already done.A voice chided loudly from inside.He wanted to kill Brian for giving her his surname. Adam internally blamed everyone on Brian. He wanted to kill Brian and burn him this instant. But Fiona was in danger.He remembered that Fiona was supposed to be sold in the brothel. It wasn't time to delay. He felt an intense urge to save her, for the first time.He ran out of the house and called Dev."Hello, bastard where is Fiona? What did you do to her? If something bad happens to her I swear I will tear you alive." Adam said as Dev received thr call."Oh, Adam knight. Easy man, easy easy. Yesterday you told me you didn't care about her. She was nothing but a slut to you. Why did you change your tune so suddenly? Don't tell me mighty Mr. Knight is missing his pregnant whore." Dev taunted.He also remembered that Fiona was pregnant."Dev, I will tear your tongue. Tell me where is she?" Adam asked."Why should I tell you?" Dev trying to play game with him but timing was wrong."One of your cartels is blown away by bombing. You can confirm it, I am sending you a photo. If you don't tell me every cartel will be blown away, now tell me her location. My men planted bombs in your every place." Adam sent a photo of Dev's blown away cartel.Dev checked the photo and it was real. Anger bubbled up inside him but he chose to comply with Adam to avoid further damage. The cartels made him millions, they were significant to him."You are late Adam. I have sold her already to Carter Giovanni's brothel. You clearly know that place. As per as I know she will be sent to Australia tonight for auction. You sound worried for her. But sadly, I sold her. Adam, I even gave you a last chance but you didn't come. You should have seen how the poor girl was crying." Dev said with a sigh.Adam who would always ravel im Fiona's crying, suffering, begging couldn't hear it this time. Every word Dev said was pricking his ears like sharp niddle in guilt."Dev, I promise, I will come for you soon and destroy your existence from the world." Adam said before cutting the call.Adam called all of his best fighters and started his mission to rescue Fiona. They reached Carter Giovanni's brothel. It was a secretive place but for a mafia leader like him it wasn't a problem.He took enough supports because Giovanni was also a powerful man. If he tried to take Fiona back, Giovanni would never give her back easily. His men would surely create problems. So Adam's plan was to kill anyone without any second thought who would try to get in the way to rescue Fiona....Carter Giovanni's Brothel:Everything was going same as always. Pleasure seeker men were having claim on helpless females. Most of the females here were forcefully there.New girls were being prepared to be sent to Australia. Carter was very excited for tonight. He was expecting to gain a huge profit from selling girls in Australia.But working pressure made him a bit stressed.He decided to call one of the whores and relieve his stress. He lit a blunt and began smoking leisurely.A young girl entered his room and stripped herself. Carter pulled the girl on his lap and that's when loud sound of gun shots rang throughout the air.Startled enough, Cater pushed the girl from his lap and quickly readjusted his clothes."Boss, looks like we have been attacked." One of his men came running to him.Carter was bewildered and confused. Who could have attack him. He hadn't provoked any fight with anyone."Boss!""Boss! We have been surrounded by Knight, Adam knight. He wanted to enter but our guards didn't let him. He killed them." Another man came there and began panting."Adam Knight!" Carter yelled in fear."Why has he attacked us?" He asked, his mind was filled with dread. He knew how cruel, merciless Adam Knight was. He never spared anyone and when it came to fight, he would destroy everything.Carter thought wisely. He knew he had no chancs to win against Adam now. He was outnumbered with people and outnumbered in arms. He decided to face him and agree with Adam's condition.Adam's people killed everyone who came in their way. Suddenly few armed people entered the room where Carter was hiding and took him out of the room.They threw him near Adam's feet on the floor.In the big hall room all the girls of the brothel were stood in a corner shivering in fear."Mr. Knight, what do you want? Why are you doing this? I don't remember having any enmity with you." Carter asked, he tried hard not to show how scared he was."Carter, you are going to send a group of new girls in Australia today for auction. Right?" Adam said loading his gun.Carter nodded in fear."You still have the girl whom Dev Rivera sold to you? Where is she? I want her, RIGHT NOW." Adam spoke.Carter's throat went dry in fear. That girl was not in a good condition."Mr. Knight, is she the reason you are here today?" Carter framed his question somehow."Yes. Now bring her to me and I still may consider sparing your life." Adam said.Hearing him, Carter almost made his pant wet. Wiping his sweat, he got up."Melanie, bring her here." He called Melanie who was standing with the other girls.She came out of the crowd of the girls and looked at Carter again."Why are you standing for? Run." Carter ordered harshly when he noticed that Melanie didn't move yet."B-but s-she wouldn't be-" Melanie tried to say but Carter shut her up."Shat up just do what you are told." Carter screamed.Melanie lowered her head and started walking."Wait there, girl." Adam stopped her. He sensed something was wrong."What were you trying to say?" Adam questioned glaring at her. Melanie gulped hard."Sir, she must be not well by now. You can come with me." Melanie timidly said without looking at him."What do you mean by not well? What happened to her?" Adam took predatory steps towards her and pointed thee gun at her head."S-s-sir, i-its t-that I-I t-told b-boss..." Her words sound unclear as she stuttered."Speak clearly or I am pulling the trigger." Adam warned harshly.Melanie was crying in fear by now, controlling her sobs still she managed to say, "Today morning, I found out she was pregnant. I told boss about that. Boss was angry and told me to get rid of her baby in any way possible as he will send her Australia. I told boss not to sell her today as she is pregnant. But boss didn't listen to me. He forcefully made her take an abortion pill. I told boss many times not to do this as the pill he used was quite dangerous, but he didn't listen to me. Sir, I am innocent, please don't kill me. I tried to save her but boss didn't listen." Melanie pleaded with tears.Adam's breath got stuck in his throat when he heard her. He wanted all he heard to be a lie.Then she was indeed pregnant, I didn't believe her.He felt chilling coldness gripping him over. He was feeling scared, not only scared, many foreign emotions."Where is she?" Adam asked when he got out of his reverie of shock."Sir, please follow me." Melanie guided him to the bathroom where Carter locked Fiona up."Sir, inside the bathroom he locked her up. He didn't let help her." Melanie pointed the bathroom door.Adam unlocked the bathroom door and carefully looked inside the old shabby bathroom.When his eyes fell on the bathroom floor, he couldn't made his eyes believe what he actually saw.Fiona was lying there lifeless, extreme amount of blood was between her legs. Her dress looked red from the blood and her body was almost pale as white.
