SOPHIA CASTILLO
I opened my eyes to see myself in a dark room with barely any light in it. My body aches and when I made an attempt to move, I realized that I couldn't as I was tied to a chair.
Where was I? How did I come here?
I thought to myself before I recalled how the power went out at the hall I was celebrating my birthday and how someone had grabbed me from behind.
I groaned lightly. "Hello!" I called out.
"Hello!" I called out.
"Anybody here?" I said out loud.
The door open and a massive ray of light entered the room but soon it was dark again when the man closed the door.
"You better keep it down or I'm gonna hit you," he warned, coming closer to me.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" I asked.
I have not offended anyone so I do not understand why I was kidnapped. What was their intention or perhaps, did they get the wrong person? I thought to myself.
"I am the one that brought you here on someone's order. You will see that peers on soon," he replied.
"Are you sure it was me that they asked you to get?" I asked because none of this was making sense to me.
He laughed out loud. "Do you think this is the first time I am doing this type of job?"
"Oh little girl. I know who I brought here. Aren't you Sophia Castillo?" He questioned.
I furrowed my brows. "Yes, I am. What is it that you want from me?" I questioned.
"Me? I do not want anything from you at all. I am simply just doing my job and that's to bring you here and watch you," he replied.
"So you were told to get me but you didn't ask why you were doing so? So I will have to wait until the person that ordered you to kidnap me comes?" I asked.
"Exactly. I do not know what it is you have with her so when she comes, you shall find out yourself," he explained and I sighed.
Who could possible want me?
"Is the person a she or a he?" I asked him.
"I do not have to answer you. I do not even know why I am entertaining you but you are quite pretty so I think I might have an hint why she told us to get you," he said.
"So the person is a she?" I said rhetorically.
Who could want me? Does Adrian know that I have been kidnapped? Is he searching for me already? Where was I? I was panicking and angry at the same time.
Why does this have to be me. I was trying my best not to pass out due to nervous.
"You have such pretty eyes," he said, coming closer to me.
Don't you dare come closer! I shouted in my head but he came coming closer. He curled his index finger under of my chin and I looked away so as to remove his finer from under my chin.
"Don't touch me!" I said sternly and he laughed out loud.
"Are you telling me not to touch you? Are you serious? Who is the one tied to a chair now? Who a the one who can't do anything even if I touch her? You. So do not get on my nerves," he said before pulling me jaw.
"Your eyes, they are so beautiful," he said again and I glared at him.
"The person who ordered you to kidnap me, did she give you the permission to touch me? Do you know what she actually wants me for? You wouldn't want me to tell her how much you have disrespected me, wound you?" I told him.
He clicked is tongue while shaking his head. "You are one funny creature,"
"Someone asked that we kidnapped you at all means and you think it is because she wants to give you a proper treatment?" He shook his head.
"She doesn't like you at all. Do you think you will leave you alive? Why don't you think of that first instead of threatening me?" He chided before hitting my face with his index and middle finger.
I felt stung on my cheek. It hurts although it was just two of his finger.
"You might want to keep your mouth shut instead of running them because truth me, you won't like what it is that will happen to you next. You are beautiful and you wouldn't want me to live my mark on your face, would you?" He warned.
I was trembling. My legs were shaking. My heart was beating hard in my chest and my palms were sweaty. How I was still talking surprised me. I was so afraid and wanted to cry at the same tie and then I remembered the baby inside of me.
All I wanted was to be out of here and in the arms of Adrian. I was so scared.
"If you are hungry, just let me know," he said.
"What If i want to pee?I asked him.
"I will help you pee or you can pee on yourself," he replied.
"She will she come?" I asked him.
He turned around to look at me with a frown on his face. "Why are you asking me questions? I already told you that I do not answer to you so stop with the questions already, okay?" He warned.
"I really want to know. It's just..."
"Shut the fuck up or I might have to tape your mouth to keep them shut. Do not get on my nerves than you are already doing!" He snapped and I kept my mouth in a thin line immediately.
"Better," he said before walking away.
Tears streamed down my cheek profusely as soon as he left.
"Adrian. Adrian please come get me. I'm so scared," I cried out.
ADRIAN CASTILLO
The detective called me on the phone some minutes ago telling me that they have gotten information about the man who had kidnapped my wife.
I was praying from the bottom of my heart as I drove there that they already got the location too because If I do have Sophia in my arms for long, I might just lose it.
She is my life. The reason I smile.
"Welcome Mr. Castillo," the detective said to me as soon as I entered his office.
Two other policemen were with him. After exchanging greetings, he proceeded.
"His name is Carlos smith. He is an ex-convict," he tells me as he shows me the profile of the man ok his computer screen.
"He has been to jail three times. He has been involved in drug trafficking and also kidnapping too. We were not able to find anyone related to him as he is an orphan. At the age of sixteen he ran away from the orphanage he was in and has been living on the streets ever since," the detective revealed.
"So there is nothing other than this about him? The pleases he is often seen and where he stays?" I asked.
"He doesn't have a home address but there is a bar he regularly goes to. My men and I went there to ask about him and they said they haven't seen him since the day your wife got kidnapped," he replied.
So this means after kidnapping her, he has been in hiding.
"Fuck!" I cursed.
"We did ask around about the possible places he could be and we asked some people that know him..." the detective trailed off.
"And?" I asked.
"Still the same. No positive result. But we will still keep searching and investigating. One thing is certain and that is, she is still in the country," the detective said.
This wasn't what I wanted to hear. I know she hasn't been taken away so where is she? Who had kidnapped my wife and what do they want from her?
This wasn't enough. I will have to contact my private investigator. He will be able to do more digging. He was good at his job and I need every little detail about Carlos because I want to be the one to kill him myself.
I just couldn't help but wonder how she was feeling. Sophia is a soft girl. She could be crying for goodness sake and thinking of it is making me angry.
"Mr. Castillo, we will continue and I assure you that we will bring your wife safe to you soon," he said assuringly but that wasn't enough for me.
The kidnappers haven't contacted me for two days and it's crazy because why would they kidnap someone and not inform the person she is married to and tells me what it is that they wanted from me to get her?
If they plan to drive me insane before contacting me then they have won but what if... what if they didn't contact me because they already killed her?
As I thought of that, I felt my heart sink and my stomach too.
