23 Chapter 23

For a whole week Lilly had to deal with the pain, but thankfully Dante had spent all of his time with her and did whatever she had wanted. When the last day came Lilly and Dante went on a short date to feel better.

A full month passed and Dante left for the base and bid bye to Lilly with a gentle kiss on her lips. After hugging everyone of his family bye he drove to the direction of the outskirts outside of Central City. Going into the house Camilla invited Lilly in for tea and desert throughout the whole conversation Camilla spoke about Dante's childhood. Quietly listening to the stories Lilly felt slightly closer to the man she liked.

As the day came to an end Lilly was given an album of Dante when he was younger, getting in the car Lilly drove to her condo since she didn't want to go back to Rosewood and listen to the girls questioning about where she had been for the last few days. Reaching her condo she noticed the doors being opened so she was on high alert, suddenly out of no where she felt a thumping pain in the back of her head. In that very next moment she lost her conscious.

As soon as she lost conscious a bulky man lifted her up as if she were nothing but light feathers, waking out of the door he left it like that and headed to the garage were a black van was waiting silently for him to return with the girl. Reaching the underground parking lot he immediately say the black van in the corner of his eyes and headed towards their direction.

"Did you leave anything behind?" A man dressed in all black questioned as the bulky man came in and laid Lilly near where he sat.

"As far as I know I left no evidence behind, should I go and look to see if I did?" the bulky man questioned acting like a loyal do to the man he laid Lilly next to.

"No need, get in and close the door." the other man said as he looked at the pale faced Lilly.

The very next moment the black car quickly drove off leaving tire tracks behind, quickly driving out if the condo they drove deeper in Central city and took a sharp turn to the slums where all of the most underground dealing took place without the government officials knowing about the secret deals. Finally arriving at their destination the 3 men in back go off and the bulky man carried Lilly on his back.

By the time Lilly regained her consciousness she was tightly strapped to a wooden chair, wanting to cry for help but was unable to because her mouth was bonded with a bandanna. Her heart started to beat loudly but with all her might she tried to calm herself down, at the very next moment loud thumping noises came from outside causing Lilly to slightly be startled. Her eyes continued to wander from place to place looking to a way to escape, unfortunately because her whole body was being bonded to the wooden chair she was unable to do anything.

"Seems like you're awake." A cold shrill voice spoke out sending chills down Lilly's spine.

Not wanting to show her fears Lilly took a deep breath from her nose and lightly released the access air. The lightly dimmed light only showed half of his face but Lilly knew she never offended the man in front of her. Trying to cease up the man she became conscious.

Walking closer and closer to Lilly the man smile, his blonde hair hiding his eyes, for some reason that smile felt like a smile from the devil himself, she loudly gulped down her access spit in her throat and turned her head not wanting to look at the man who was coming closer and closer to her. His eyes lightly looked at her with amusement, the closer he looked at her the more he wanted to cut her jade like skin. Lightly licking his lips he reached for his back pocket and took out a sharp butterfly knife.

Licking the tip of the knife he cut his tongue due to the sharpness of the butterfly knife, lightly scratching Lilly's face a trail of blood after each trace he made on her face. Lilly was afraid but she didn't make any cries knowing that crying would only bring her unwanted attention from the man cutting her face with the butter fly knife. With each cut that she got she swore to pay him 10 times more then what she had received.

After her face became a bloody mess the man was satisfied, although he didn't receive any cries for Lilly he was still satisfied.

A week passed and no one heard news from Lilly, Jeana who was unable to remain calm had suddenly got a hunch that the person that she had been texting was no longer her best friend instead. For the last hour she was begging for Lilly to pick up her calls but instead she received a text saying she was busy spending time with Dante which completely put her in shock.

Although Lilly was someone who seemed to be cold to others when it comes to her friends she would never abandon them nor ignore their calls even if she had a boyfriend or even if she was sleeping at night and too lazy to pick up.

"This is not Lilly!...." Jeana cried standing up quickly, she then ran down stairs and all she could think about was something bad happening to Lilly.

Quickly going to Natasha's room she asked her to track Lilly down through the tracker they secretly installed into her phone without her knowing. When Natasha said that she was unable to track down the phone Jeana became even more worried. Gathering the girls together Jeana informed them of every thing. After the discussion Jeana and the girls felt the increase in coldness.

One by one they turned and say Dante looking at them with a questionable look, unable to look at him in the eye the other girls looked down and tears started to flow down their cheeks.

"Repeat what you were just saying..." Dante spoke finally breaking the silence of the room.

"Someone has taken Lilly, not only are we unable to track her down that person is strong enough to lay a hand on Lilly who has always dominated everyone when it comes to combat movements. I noticed as soon as she didn't start joking with me about everything." Jeana replied, she held back the tears that were threatening to spill.
