Chapter 4

'The first two months after I got here I fought with everything I had to try and escape.But I was heavily guarded then,so my means were minimal.Then the third month came and the armed guards reduced to one.That's probably when they found out no one was going to pay any ransom for me.I wasn't s dignitary daughter as they initially thought.But they still wouldn't let me go.Our love kept me going hoping you'd come to my rescue.

One time I wandered from my room and ran in on an interrogation.A suspected traitor was being tortured.While running back to my safe haven I bumped into the gang leader.More like he bumped into me and had his way.All this time our love has kept me sane but I'm hanging by the thread now.Will this nightmare be over sooner than later?'

Sunny almost jumped out of her skin when she heard a blast,then some shooting and finally shouts.She'd never heard live bullets before but she was certain it was a shootout she was hearing.

It was over thirty six hours since her detour of the basement, estimating by her meal intervals.

She tossed her notebook aside but before she stood up,she heard another blast, relatively more intense than the first that the walls started trembling.

She didn't need an instruction manual to know it was time to run.With nothing to pack she dashed for the exit only to be met by her guard,Ivan.

"What's happening?"Sunny inquired as Ivan grabbed her hand and ran,a gun in his other hand.The normally grave silent basement was a beehive as more armed men filled the hallways barking orders."Everybody down the hall.Hurry up!"

"Where are you taking me?"Sunny didn't receive an answer as another blast shook the entire basement."No!I can't die today!"She screamed.The next thing she saw was the roof falling over the armed men before Ivan pulled her down,then pitch black.

Sunny came by to the illusion of drowning in blue waters which was odd because she'd never been to any sea or ocean.Her survivor instincts kicked in and she swam up desperate for air.Just as she took a gulp of air someone pushed her head back into the water.Her hand reflexes tried to free her head from the hand but they were cuffed on each of her side.

"No...!I don't want to die today!"She screamed when the controlling hand let her up for air again.

"Good,you won't if you tell me what I want to know."A slurred male voice that wasn't Lion's said,making Sunny open her eyes.

True,her arms hung from either side chained to the confining walls.She felt tired for holding them up but she couldn't put them down.There was a dirty metal table in front of her and on top,a tin with water.Then leaning on it was a man with army green cargo pants with boots and a vest.His glistening biceps were full proof he frequented the gym.But his tan face was scarry.He had a huge scar that ran from his right brow down his cheek bone and ended on the right corner of his mouth.His bloodshot eyes and thin lips completed his killer look.

"I just want to go back home to the man I love.I don't know anything."She choked in a sob.She was tired from being cuffed up like that,had a maddening headache and pregnant!"Please let me go."Her voice was scrappy and instead of a rescue... she'd jumped from frying pan to fire.

Scarface crossed his arms and tried a side grin that only stretched his scar in an uncomfortable way.
