C9 9

I fisted the sheets in my hand and sobbed ...sobbed for hours untill i finally gave in and sleep took over .

When i woke up , i was still in the same room ,his room , the clock read 4 in the evening. I was hungry, i was irritated , angry with myself .My dad was hurt ....or worst ...dead .These men show no mercy when it comes to killing .My hopes were broken down , the life i want ...with a good man and a happy family was gone .Roman took it .I will never forgive that man for doing this .

I make my way to the bathroom ...my head was pounding. My body was in pain .Tears swelled up in my eyes remembering how my dad was shot .How he was separated from me .

I missed my mom ...after her gone ..he was my only family ...the relatives never matter ...but now he was gone ..The only hope i had was him still alive .

I make my way out and looked at the closet ..

There were two ...when i opened it ..i found thousands of dresses. ...

I make my way inside ..

Since i am kidnapped i might as well use it .I took out a jumper and jeans. I wanted to be dressed up as much as possible. I couldn't stand him anymore .

I was done drying my hair when my eyes land on the door .Maybe ...he kept it open .I turn the knob ...but no

It was locked .

I was locked

There were no windows. ....non even in the bathroom .I grab my hair in frustration .I had to know if dad was okay I had to do something. I knocked on the door twice ...thrice. Finally banged on it but i got no answer .

I felt myself out of energy ...I was mentally frustrated .

Physically tortured .

Being in a room for over 3 days wasn't a simple thing .No food ...No energy to even wash my self .There was water ...but in a small jar .

I drank small portions of it so that it doesn't finish.

I have tried thousands of times to call out ....banging , yelling at the door ..but nobody answered back .This was a punishment. ..I knew him ...at least at this stage .

He was pissed ...so i was being punished.

It was horrible. I missed my dad.Never have i shed tears so much in my life after mom died .

Occasionally i woke up 3 in the morning with nightmares ...I prayed to mom and god for help .It was the fourth day ...but i couldn't help it .My body wasn't responding.

Lack of food was kicking in .

I tried to get up from the bed but the whole room spins and eventually blacked out .I fell on the ground with force .I couldn't move ...and let the darkness consume me .

I eventually woke up ...the next day and thought i heard something from outside . It was of something breaking but i may be dreaming

I was locked in the room for a whole week ..with no voice , no food ..no water enough .

When i woke up ...pain ...i experienced pain my head ...body .My eyes adjusted to the light .

I was in the same room but on the bed tucked in the white sheets .I sat up ...

Did anyone enter the room ?

Was it Roman ?

I shivered at the thought of him .I was so scared ...afraid.

The punishment was too harsh which made a mental impact on me .I get scared even of dark .Why am i so weak ? I should have listened to my friend and stop being home schooled .At least it would help me get a bit strong.

Girls like to fight for their freedom ...but me ...i am doing nothing.

I looked at the door it was closed

After about 10 minutes it burst open.My body flinch at the sound .

My eyes windend in fear ...my hands shaking.

It was Roman ...standing there ...with a gun .

He tucked it in his back and walked towards me .

I scooted to the corner of the bed still shivering and shaking with fear .

"Ava ..." his hand came to reach me but i flinch and shooked my head .

"No no ..please don't. ..." i began to

cry .

"Shhhh....don't cry ..its ok ..i am here "

I tried to resist but his large hands pulled me into him for a hug "No no ..NO !!" i blurted .

But regret it .His eyes were burning with anger

"Let me hold you Ava " he said .I shook my head .

"Y-you ..l-left me ...for days ...y-you are cruel. ...i hate you ...i hate you " i was lifted up and sat on his lap .

I pushed him away but he grabbed my weak hands and stopped me .

Pulling my head in the crook of his neck he brushed his fingers over my hair

"Shhh...i am so sorry ...i am so sorry my love ..i shouldn't have done that ....please forgive me ...i am so sorry " He started kissing my forehead ...to my cheeks and neck ..all while whispering that .

I shook my head ."You are cruel......heartless ...."

"I am so sorry .." his lips met my forehead ...and trailed to my cheeks laying butterfly kisses on my neck .

"I want my dad ....but i can't see him ..because you pathetic men took his life " i spat .

I could see anger raging in his eyes ."He isn't dead Ava "

What ?

Dad is alive?

For the first time i am so happy to hear something coming out of his mouth ..

Without any further thought i said .

"I want to meet him ...i want to see him ...now " he looked at me ..but the fear in my eyes was visible to him .

"Not untill i feed you something. ...you need to eat " he picked me up and started walking .

"No ..please i want to see if he is ok "

I pleaded him .

"Don't argue , you will get to see him after i feed you "

I hate this man .

I want to get out ...but he might hurt my father again .

"I am not hungry " i stated as he sat me down on the chair .

"WHEN I TELL YOU TO DO SOMETHING, YOU DO IT ...GET THAT ? if you want to see you father in good health then do as i say .."

My eyes look at him in horror .My breath hitched .

His fingers caressed my chin .

"You are mine Ava ...and if you don't listen to me ...i will make you " he said with stern eyes .

I saw him walk towards the kitchen and come out with a plate .

I was too scared to even look him in the eye .

I flinched as he picked me up and sat me on his lap .

His hand caressed my thigh and i gulped .

"Open " the spoon full of soup was held to my mouth .

I opened my mouth as he fed me the whole bowl .

Never did i utter a word to him .Every time his hand came up to meet my face i stiffed .

After feeding me some kind of seasoned vegetables and fruits he took the water and held it to my mouth .

My shaky hands held it as i took the water in ..

After i was done i looked at him expectanly ...

"Now ....you want to meet your dad ..is it ?" I nodded .

His slowly started kissing my neck and sucking on my sweet spot ..I couldn't hold back a moan .

My hands tried to catch his and stop them but they were to weak .

"Please " i whispered and let out another moan .

Even though he kidnapped me ....even though he was a heartless cruel man ...his touch never failed to make me shiver in pleasure.

"Please what Ava " he said in his husky rough voice .

"Please let me see my dad " .

He stopped kissing me .

Pinching the bridge of his nose his head fell back .

"You are so stubborn sometimes " .

He brushed his fingers through his hair and his intense eyes stared in mine .

I felt myself heat up ....

He sigh

"Look ...Ava ...my men didn't mean to hurt your father ...and i am sorry for that ...the man who shot him is being punished. ....nobody will lay a hand on him ...unless ...you do as i say "

My eyes trained on my lap .

I nodded slowly .

"Say it " he demands. "Y-yes ...i will "

"Good " he replied.

After me changing into a simple dress upto my knees he pulled me with him to a room on the ground floor .

When he opened the door ...i felt tears in my eyes .

My dad was sleeping on the bed.

His left shoulder was having bandages.

"He got shot in his shoulder, the doctors were able to remove the bullet ..he will be fine "

Roman said with no emotion .

At least he showed some mercy and helped dad .

"Dad ..." i whispered .

He opened his eyes and was shocked to see me .

"AVA !!" his voice was weak yet he stretched his right hand for me .I hugged him and cried on his chest .

"I thought i would never see you again " i said

"Its alright. ..." he calmed me down ."That's enough. ...." Roman pulled me towards him .

Why can't let me and dad have a moment .

"Now ...Mr . James ..." he spoke to my dad .

"I want to offer you a job " My dad glared at him but he didn't speak anything.

"Work for my company ...and i'll assure your and Ava's safety " he stated .

"No ...i am not working for a man involved in illegal business " dad spoke .

Roman surprised me by chuckling. "Well ....then i guess i have to kill you ..."

"NO !!" I immediately intrupt.

"Then convince your dad " he said .

I look at dad ...he had a frown on his face

"If you promise to keep my daughter safe and never hurt her in any way ..." dad said .

I rub my hands over his .

I knew it ...even if dad would refuse ..he would never let me go .

"Deal "Roman said .

He looked at me and warpped his hands around my waist causing tingling sensation around my body .

"You can start in a month .untill then ..you stay in the flat i offer you .."

Wait ..

Dad isn't staying here ?

"R-Roman ...can he s-stay here ?"

"No "

I look down in fear but sadness .

"Its ok Ava ...i'll be fine " my dad smiled weakly .I smiled back ..but Roman pulled me out of the room ."W-Wait ..i-i ...wanted some time alone with him " i said keeping my gaze down ."No ..now lets go ..i have some work to do "

I immediately rejoiced ...because if he had work ...i would have been left alone ...i could go meet dad ..He pulled me with him , we walked upstairs this time to a big black door .

I looked at him in confusion.He dragged me towards his office door ..entering it he sat on the chair while i stood right beside him .

Why does he want me here ?

"Come here " he said .I scooted closer to him .

He pulled me closer and made me sit on his lap .I sat on his lap all while he worked on hiOne sudden move and he would pinch my thigh .

The door burst open and i jump but Roman's hand went tight around my thigh .A man came in .

"Its Reynolds. ....he is back....he asked for your presence and ...and ...he knows about the girl "

My eyes windend ...the man was pointing at me .

What's going on ?

"Well ..guess we have to commit another murder. ..hmm ?" I went stiff as Roman said that .He looked at me and rested his face in the crook of my neck .

"I won't let them have what's mine "
