Chapter 9

Present Time:

Ara’s POV

I fell asleep in the huge bed and I didn’t notice anyone coming in the room. I turn around when someone speaks to me in a soft voice. It’s Olivia, I sit down in the middle of the bed and she gives me these shopping bags.

“Arabella, sweetie you need to get ready now. These are you clothes wear them.”

“Get ready for what? What time is it now?”

“It’s 10 in the evening and we have a flight to catch up.” Olivia told me.

“Flight? Wait! What do you mean? Where are you taking me? Where are we going?” Panic started building up my whole body.

“We are going to London.” She said to me and walked away leaving me in shocked.

After 3 hours we are inside this private plane, everything is fancy; we are greeted by the pilots and two attendants. I sat quietly looking on the window, lots of thoughts on my mind. One thing is for sure these people is no freaking ordinary, this private jet, even these clothes that I am wearing now, I am sure it cost an arm and a leg.

I am now getting more frightened. I know these people are powerful and I am sure they can easily kill me without any hesitations. I just don’t know why I am here? I don’t even have my passport and here I am sitting on a plane flying to UK. Tears are streaming down my cheeks again, as I remember my family back there, my babies and my Adam. What will happen now? What is waiting for me there? What am I getting into? I miss my family so much. I wipe my tears and close my eyes and just said to myself. “I wish this is just a dream and I will wake up to this nightmare one day.”

It was long hours of flight and we finally arrived in London. I am inside the Rolls Royce Cullinan with Olivia, Dean and Andy the two men in black I called. Oh well, they are really like the men in black aside from wearing the black suits, they are also wearing black sunglasses with their earpieces as if they are really Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.

The fancy car stops in a gigantic mansion. The exterior of the house is overwhelming what more on the inside I thought. Olivia hold my hand and we go inside the mansion, when the door opened, I was like “Whoa” I said and I think Olivia heard and saw my reaction. The interior of the house is beautiful...oh no,,, i think the word beautiful is not enough to describe it, as if a king and a queen are living here and I bet you couldn’t roam the house in one day. Is there a difference between a mansion and a palace? Seriously? Who are these people? They must be sick, or maybe I am the sick one here.

I follow Olivia and we are now in a warm and cozy bedroom telling me.

“This will be your room for awhile, you can check everything here and your closet is right over there.” She is pointing on the first door and I think the other door is the bathroom.

“Olivia, I did everything you said and made things not complicated, but..... do I not deserve to know and hear an explanation from all of these?” At last I was able to ask her with all courage. “Why am I here? This is kidnapping. What do you want from me?” Tears are running down my cheeks again.

“Adam, your husband knew you are in good hands so don’t worry about them.” She said patting my shoulder, hearing my husband’s name, they even knew my husband, what else do they know? I sobbed and I thought, “Am I really in good hands?”

“Please Olivia tell me what’s going on?” I said to her almost yelling. “I want to talk to my husband, let me talk to him, please.”

“I will help you talk to your husband but not this time, Nicholas will be here in an hour so you have to get ready, all of your questions will be answer by him.”

“Nicholas? So who is he? I am so mad right now, it feels like I am burning.

“Calm down Arabella, I know what you are feeling right now, and I am sorry that you......”

I did not let her finish what she was about to tell me and said. “ You don’t know what I am feeling!!!” Walking towards to the bathroom I locked the door. Crying inside looking myself on the mirror I mutter, “Who the hell is Nicholas? And what does he want from me?” I am going crazy.
