Ch 3: abducted?

...

Sigh! If only she could rewind the hands of time, not only would she take back her actions but she would make sure they never got to that situation. Ever!

Listlessly and heartbroken. She walked down the road. Her mind was full and her eyes heavy with tears that threatened to fall but even her eyes couldn't find the strength to cry.

As heavy as her heart felt, her feet grew heavier with every minutes she walked on. Yet there was no stopping for her. With much efforts, she dragged her heavy legs, totally oblivious of where she was going.

Screech!!

Gisele hadn't notice that she had walked into the road, thankfully the car rushing towards her had been able to avoid her right on time. The sudden horn sent a jolt of shock and fear into her mind making her to take a step back.

The car that had just avoided her came to a stop on the road and the door open. "Ma'am are you okay?" The driver stepped out of the car and asked.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry for walking into the road like" she bowed continuous, feeling guilty and traumatized. Her life just flashed before her eyes, how couldn't she be traumatized.

At the back seat of the vehicle, an old man was watching the elderly man and the young lady talk, he watched them intently and then his eyes lit up.

He hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards them.

Seeing that the old man had walked out to come meet them, Gisele thought he was going to come complain at her. She hurriedly turned and began to plead with him.

"I'm really sorry sir, I didn't mean to be walking mindlessly like that" she almost kowtowed to him.

Contrary to what Gisele had expected the man to say, the man said "miss, you should let us take you to the hospital, just in case you are injured".

Surprised she looked at him. He didn't seem to be saying this sarcastically, his face had a hint of worry on it and the look in his eyes were gentle.

Gisele shook her head "There's no need sir, I should be the one asking if I had caused any damage to your car, not you asking to take me to the hospital"

"our car is fine, be rest assured" the Old man smiled "but I also want to know if you are fine, so you should let me take you to the hospital" He protested. The Old man seemed adamant with his offer.

This time around, Gisele hurriedly bade him farewell after rejecting his offer. The Old man didn't immediately get into the car, he stood and watched her petite figure disappear into the crowd.

"Grandpa Hugo do you perhaps know the young lady?" Another young man walked out of the car then asked curiously. He had watched the interaction of the Old man and the girl from within the car. He could tell the girl was someone the old man was concerned about.

He nodded his head lightly "mmm she's someone I've always wanted to meet"

"do you want us to keep watch of her?"

"Wouldn't that be lovely?" Old man Hugo replied back.

Just like that, Gisele got someone tailing after her but she was totally oblivious to it. She kept on walking, part of her mind thanking God that the man had not asked her to foot the bill for any damage in his car.

She had looked at the car, it looked even more expensive than the ones in the Andres residence, probably even her life would not be able to avoid it if she had caused and damage to it.

She had been too clumsy! Walking into the road like a zombie.

What if she had gotten knocked down by a car? Would the people she was thinking of even come to her funeral? They probably would have said they had something better to do right?

How sorrowful.

The moon shone as it peeked gently from between the clouds. The streets bustled with life and brimmed with a harmonious air as cars and people moved about ceaselessly, even still the glow emitting from the golden crescent moon carried an inconspicuous aura of suspense.

With a blank expression. Gisele sat in a road side stall munching the small piece of donut in her hand. She had walked all morning and afternoon without stopping. Thankfully there was a few dollar bills in her pocket so she was able to buy this piece of donut for herself. It wasn't enough to quench her hunger still it would be just enough to keep her from fainting from starvation.

After satiating her hunger, she was faced with a major problem now.

Where was she supposed to pass the night?

Even after walking from morning to night she had idea on where to go. She had no friend, nor any family member that could take her in for the night. She couldn't also go back to her grandfather, he lived at the countryside and she had no money to board a taxi to get there.

There was only one place she could think of after brainstorming for a few minutes.

Bliss entertainment company.

This was the entertainment company that Roxanne was signed under. Almost everyone in the company knew she was Roxanne's assistant so she could use the opportunity to sneak into one of the dressing rooms and then pass her night there. It was risky and dangerous but that was the only option she had.

She settled on this decision and then stood up and began walking. She would have to walk a few hours before she get to the company but she didn't mind.

Gisele had just walked passed an alley when a pair of arms stretched out and grabbed unto her. With a palm over her mouth to keep her from shouting she was pulled into the dark alley.

She struggled to break free from the grip but just couldn't,

Was she being abducted?

She tried shouting but there was a handkerchief muffling her words, even if she shouted at the top of her voice, no one passing would hear her. Besides it was getting late, the number if people outside was little. After struggling for long she became tired.

The sweet scent perfusing from the handkerchief over her nose made her feel fuzzy and weak. In no time she began to lose her consciousness. Her struggling hand could only but drop by her side as she passed out.
