CHAPTER ELEVEN
Laura Paley’s POV
The cold morning air hit my body without mercy and I shivered at the contact , Zoey must have left the windows opened last night .
“ Zoey can you please close this window “ I yelled still half asleep
*No answer*
“ Zoey did you change the covers ? They smell so nice “ I mumbled through sleep
*No answer*
Really ?
“ Zoey you better come close this window now or I swear imma whoop your –“
I opened my eyes and the view in front of me shut me up .
I was in a really huge room , when I mean huge I mean five times the size of my room , it was a purple and pink themed room … mostly pink .
Where am I ?
How did I get here ?
What am I doing here?
I cracked my head for answers but I could find none .
What happened ?
I looked around me for any clues but I couldn’t find anything , the whole room was empty and immediately my mind was activated to panic mode .
I quickly sprung up from the bed and ran to the window , I looked out and saw a clearer view of the huge building .
What am I going to do ?
How do I get out of here ?
What is now –
My words were cut short when I heard footsteps approaching the room , I quickly ran back to the bed and hid under the sheets pretending like I was still asleep .
The locks clicked and the huge door was opened , I heard footsteps coming closer until I felt a hot breath on my face .
God please save me , I promise no won’t drink alcohol ever again .
Immediately the hot breath disappeared from my face signalling that the person was no longer there .
Thank you Jesus , you’re the best .
“ Open your eyes I know you’re not sleeping “ a very thick voice said
Oh dear …
I opened my eyes slowly and saw a figure towering over me , I sat on the bed and rested my back on the board to get a closer view of the person .
Alas ! It was the man who hit my car yesterday
“ You “ I said
“ So ?” he asked again just like yesterday
Doesn’t he have anything else to say except ‘so?’
“ What am I doing here ?” I asked
“ The maid will bring the food to you very soon , she wants you to eat “ he said
What ?
“ What ? Wants me to eat ? Do I look like I’m in the position to eat and who the hell kidnapped me ? I yelled
“ You can scream all you want , but when I run out of patience I won’t hesitate to put a bullet in your pretty little head “ he said without any emotions .
Ok no screaming , go it .
“ I’m sorry sir please what do you want from me ? I haven’t done anything bad , you can check my record I’m not a criminal , please release me “ I said at the brink of tears
“ How about you eat first and we’ll discuss later “ he said
“ But how can I be sure that you’ve not poisoned the food ? Or are you planning to kill me and sell my organs ? You know what I demand to know the reason I was kidnapped and who the hell is my kidnapper ?” I asked all at once
“ I am “ a very angelic voice said from the door
I looked at the direction and saw an equally angelic being .
She walked up to me slowly like a predator and took her seat opposite me that was when I got a clearer view of her face .
Oh my God , am I dreaming or something ? This must be a dream
“ I am your kidnapper “ she said and I stared at her with my mouth wide open.
Annie was seating right in front of me and I couldn’t even say a word.
Laura say something
“ Umm why ?” I asked still stunned at the beauty in front me.
Wait a minute ! Why am I fan girling over my kidnapper ?
“ Because you’re a bitch “ she said
Wait what ?
“ I’m sorry what ?” I asked
“ So you’re his new little bitch , aren’t you ?”
God ! What is this good looking woman saying ?
“ who ?” I asked
“ You know who “
Who is she talking about ?
“ Nick ?” I asked
“ The one and only “ she said
Wait , I’m not Nick’s bitch
“ Oh I’m sorry you got it all wrong , I’m not in a relationship with Mr Harlow , I’m just his … Secretary “ I said
“ Oh please , I know Nick too well , he wants you in his bed , you’re his newest flavor aren’t you?”
Newest flavor ? What is this crazy woman saying ?
“ Mr Harlow is my boss , I would never –“
“ Nick and I were friends when we were little , now he’s all grown up and he doesn’t even look at me , I’ve loved him all my life but how did he treat me ? He treated me as a one night stand “ she said before hitting the headlamp on the wall and I shivered in fear .
I take it back , she’s not an angel .
“ Annie I –“
“ I watched him date series of models and actresses but I kept my anger inside , he never acknowledged me … not even once “
No offense but what does this have to do with me ?
“ I waited for my turn , Ten freaking years I waited for my turn until he eventually saw me , you don’t know how happy I was when he slept with me that night , I was so happy that we were finally together but what happened the next day ? I was just a one night stand and I was nothing more than a friend to him “ she said throwing a lamp stick at the huge TV in front of the bed thereby shattering it into pieces .
Oh dear …
I cowered back in fear
“ And you , you … you’re a nobody , you’re nothing “ she yelled
“ Yes I agree , I’m a nobody please let me go “
“ Shut up , you know I’ve been silent all this while since he’s been hanging around with those hoes because at least they had class , but you , you classless girl , of all girls on the face of earth … he chose you ?” she yelled throwing a pillow at me which hit me right across the face .
Awwww
“ Annie p-please you’ve got it all wrong , I swear I’m in any relationship with him , he’s just my boss “ I said with tears rolling down my eyes
“ Liar , I saw your pictures … he was looking at you so tenderly , he’s never looked at me like that you know . What do you have that I don’t ?” she asked screaming in my face
Well at least she’s got good breath …
“ we are not together , I promise “ I said
“ You know what Laura , I don’t care if you’re together or not , have this “ she said handing me my phone
“ This is my phone “ I said
“ Yes , I want you to call Nick right now and tell him you’re here “
“ what ?” I asked
Then she snatched a gun from the man that smashed my car and out it on my head .
“ I said fucking call him “ she yelled and I quickly picked my phone , I saw 98 missed calls from Zoey … poor girl .
I quickly dialled the number .
I placed it to my ear and it was ringing
“ Hello “ a voice said immediately
“ Hi Mr Harlow , I don’t have chocolates “
.

ZOEY’S POV
I paced up and down as I awaited Laura’s call , she’s been Missing for some hours now and I can’t get through to you her , Laura has never gone a day without calling me , she can be very clumsy but she’s not careless .
I’ve been called Nick’s secretary and he said Laura left hours ago , I also called Lisa and she said she didn’t see her . That scared me a lot because Laura doesn’t have anywhere else to go .
I called her number for what seemed like the 100th time and it went to voicemail again .
“ if you’re getting this please tell me where you are , I’ll come get you “ I said running my hand through my hair
Where the fuck is she ?
I tried to report it to the cops too but apparently she has not been missing for 24 hours … Assholes .
I continued pacing until I suddenly heard my phone ring , I looked at the screen and it was Laura .
Oh my God
I quickly picked the call
“ Hello “ I said
“ Hi Mr Harlow , I don’t have chocolates “
Wait what ?
