FEW HOURS AGO...
"Finally a peaceful day outside without the fear of anyone following me or causing choas at home. It feels just right" she said as she walked on the street.
She saw pretty things, things she wanted to get but couldn't.
She sighed "I'll definitely get one of those soon" she stood and was staring at a pink dress that was about her size. The dress was short and simple –just her style.
She thought of all the things happening to her family and sighed again. She wasn't hopeless. She knew things would get better. It had to.
She moved on to the next stall. She didn't go in. She just looked from afar.
Before she could afford those things. It wasn't a problem. It was never a problem.
"I should be wearing these....." She pointed at the dresses and cursed.
Just as she was about to move on, a man called her.
"Hey miss, you dropped something" Tessa checked to see if she dropped her cash but she didn't.
"I'm sorry but it's not mine" she bowed politely and turned to leave.
"Take it. It's yours miss" he started going after her. Tessa cursed and started walking faster.
"I said it's not mine" she walked really fast but the man kept on following her.
"The fuck this girl is giving me a hard time" he suddenly started running after her. Tessa ran as fast. Just when she thought she was having a peaceful day a strange looking man came running after her.
She couldn't.....
It was hard....
It suddenly started to hurt...
She couldn't breathe.....
She couldn't run anymore. She stopped and was panting hard. Her chest hurt so bad. She bit her lips hating the familiar pain. Why does it have to happen to her all the time?
Before she could get back up, she got hit by something and she passed out.....
******************
"What?!" He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"She was kidnapped today" Zayne sat and looked at the man in front of him. He smirked knowing what was going on in his head.
"Where is she now?" He looked calm but his stare could melt someone but unfortunately, the stare could melt anyone except Zayne.
"Somewhere in Bris Town" he to said. "And the kidnapper turned to be the same Fernando you didn't let me torture before."
"Fernando..." He sighed. If only he let Zayne do whatever he wanted with that man, this wouldn't be happening.
"Okay. Help me take her out and the man is yours " He didn't waste anytime. Just thinking about what that man was doing to Tessa made me so angry.
"Aw. I'd help you anyway, but J, you are funny " J just looked at him and Zayne gave in.
"Okay, fine. I'll go get her out and later have fun with that mother fucker" he walked out of the office and headed to the parking lot.
"Bris Town...."
To his surprise, Tessa wasn't there and his prey was crying in pain.
"I see that girl isn't so fragile but I'm hurt. I wanted to torture you so much.....ahh" he hissed. "I'll come back for you and make you beg for death. You don't mess with Tessa."
He left to look for Tessa and spotted her sitting on a bench from afar.
*********
Tessa sat in the car staring at the man looking expressionless. How could someone be so calm and quiet.....
"Uh..." Tessa tried to speak
"Wanna say something, miss Tessa?" He finally turned to face her.
"Um...do you....I mean....how do you know me?" She wanted to know. I mean, anyone would want to know.
Zayne smirked and looked directly at her.
"You're curious, aren't you?" She nodded slowly and Zayne chuckled.
"Cute" he said inwardly.
"You're gonna answer me?" Tessa asked again.
"We may have seen each other a few times" he said and Tessa looked puzzled.
"Hmm. Oh.....but how do you know my name?" She asked again.
"Heard it by chance" Okay, now this guy was starting to annoy her. Heard by chance?
"Oh just kill me already" she thought.
"Okay." She sat straight and didn't say anything else.
She thought about her life at that moment. Everything, everything was wrong. And it keeps getting worse. How could she get outta the shit her family's in? She didn't know.
Even working many jobs didn't and couldn't solve half of her problems. The only way she could think of is marrying a big shit that'll handle everything.
"Delusions...." She shook the thought away.
She tried to focus on the road.
It looked like it was gonna be a long drive.
She didn't know that place but just seeing how empty it was made her wonder.
Zayne was already picturing and imagining all the bad things he'd do to Fernando.
"Do you remember what happened before he took you?" Zayne asked her. Of course he should.
"I just remember walking and then him chasing me and then I think I fainted" she said simply.
"Hmm..." Zayne nodded slowly.
J would be thrilled to hear that. He may even wanna kill Fernando himself. He smirked again.
"That guy doesn't really know who to mess with" he said inwardly "and he'll be punished"
In a short time, The car stopped few meters away from her house.
"We're here" Tessa sighed and looked at the man before speaking "sir, honestly you knowing my name and my house is terrifying" she blinked twice.
"Or it isn't" he smirked again.
Tessa was gonna wonder why he like smirking later.
"But anyway, Thank you very much. I'd be lost in that place, whatever people call it if not for you"
She smiled and exhaled loudly before opening the door to go outside.
"Go in now." Zayne smiled back telling her to go inside. Tessa bowed slightly and started walking towards the front door.
Zayne made sure she was already inside the house before leaving. He picked his phone and dailed a number.
"Yes. Take him there and tie him up. I have something to do" he ended the called and cracked his knuckles.
