Chapter 10

Lily couldn't see as she was blindfolded. She knew she was sitting in a wooden chair and was tied to it. Her legs and hands were tied too and her mouth sealed to avoid her from making noise.

Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and her heartbeat was faster than normal. She wondered where she was and who the men were and what they wanted from her.

She could tell the room was dark and closed off as there was no air inside and she was sweating hard.

She mumbled but she couldn't be heard. Then the door opened and she heard footsteps. She mumbled, "Who are you?" But they couldn't hear her and they couldn't translate what she was saying.

She knew people always looked for means to get her father down which was why she was heavily guarded and now she regretted not going straight to her car. She regretted walking in the rain.

Her body was wet and she was sweating and she was no longer comfortable with the way she was.

"Ha ha ha!" Finally a voice spoke. She tried to familiarize with the voice but it wasn't a voice she knew.

"The pride of Anthony Damien. The man who thought he had it all had a daughter in front of me and I cannot wait to break the news to him." The voice said.

She struggled in her chair and the chair made loud noises but she couldn't do anything other than that. "Who are you!" She mumbled again furiously shaking her head but all of that only led to her feeling headache.

"You might wanna calm down, little woman. You might fall and hit your head and also you might not want bruises on your body either." The man said. He placed his hands on her hair and she shook them off furiously.

"Don't touch me!" She mumbled.

The laugh laughed hysterically, making the pit of Lily's stomach churn. She felt irritated by his laughter and she was nervous. She had never wanted to be a cause for her father's downfall but now she had let herself fall victim and her father would almost go crazy when he finds out she has been kidnapped.

The man ordered his men and they removed the blindfold. Everything was blurry for Lily at first and later she saw everywhere. It was dark and had only a small window that light barely penetrated in.

She had not seen the man's face before and she wasn't sure if she knew him but she knew he knew her father and had kidnapped her only to use her against her father.

"Such a pretty little thing." The man said. He attempted to touch her face but she shook her face so he wouldn't.

"Don't touch me!" She mumbled.

"Dirty little bastard!" She spat. The man chuckled loudly.

"Feisty, I like it. I see why your father hides you. You are such an adorable little thing. Can't wait to see the pain in his voice when he hears your crying voice." The man said softly and calmly but one could tell he was only doing that to poke her.

"I would love to hear your voice because all I hear is mumbling. I'm sure you have a delicate voice that's soothing to the heart. Can't wait to hear it."

"Take them off." He ordered his men as he used his eyes to tell them to take the tape off her mouth.

Lily winced in pain as they harshly took the tape away. "Ouch!"

"Wow! Even when she cries in pain, it's lovely." He was commended. Lily was irritated by his sight.

"Fuck you!" She spat out In disdain.

"Aww, you want to fuck me? I'm all down for that after all, old men are good at pleasing women more." He said irritating her ears with the way he spoke the word.

Lily spat at him. "Disgusting fellow!"

The man chuckled before taking a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his face. He smirked and then he frowned as he faced her. "What a bitch you are!" His words were followed with a slap across her cheek.

A resounding slap that left his handprint on her face. The slap actually hurt Lily because she didn't know if she should cry or not.

She turned her face back to him and glared at him. The man nodded his head in amazement; in the sense that he expected to see a cry baby but he was seeing something else.

"What a surprise. I expected less from you but it seems just like your father, you are unpredictable." He smiled as she shoved his hands in his pants pocket.

"Guess what, I will call your father but firstly I want to know a few things about you." He said.

"Fuck you! I won't ever tell you anything! You will regret this! You will regret kidnapping me! You are nothing but a sore loser using something precious to someone against them for your own selfish gains and you will not end well! My father will come for you and when does, he will make sure you pay!" She shouted on top of her lungs. She panted as she tried to catch her breath glaring at the man.

The man laughed out loud. "Wow! I'm amazed by your character. What a funny character you are. You just spat out all sorts of rubbish words and you expect me to do something to you?" She scoffed.

"I would torture you slowly then break every part of your bones and then make you cry in pain. I will make sure to inflict injuries on your fine flawless skin and send them to your father to drive him crazy. That way he will know how crazy it is for someone like me to lose to him!" He spat out with disdain laced on his tone.

"You are a sore loser and I will make sure your plan doesn't work out. You won't get away with this and you will fail woefully. My father won't let you go, he will hunt you and make you pay for your deceitful ways! You won't succeed!" Lily shouted.

The man chuckled loudly. "It's so funny how you are threatening me yet you are the one tied to a chair and looking pathetic! You might wanna watch how you speak to me before I hurt you more than you already are." He grabbed her chin and she shook her hands to get off his grip but that made him tighten his grip on her.

"Let's go!" She shouted and he slapped her again right across her cheek.

Lily has never been slapped before in her life and now she was getting to know how it felt to be slapped. She has always been the one slapping people and making them feel miserable but now she was getting to know how it felt.

His slap hurt and its stings. She felt helpless and she hated it. She wanted to cry but she didn't want to give him the satisfaction. She wanted to get out of here and be in the arms of her father and the presence of these men.

"Awww...it seems that made her shut the fuck up. What an annoying bitch." He spat out.

"I will have to make a phone call to your dad now so he knows his precious Lily daughter is with me."

He took out his phone from his pants pocket and Dialed Lily's father's number.

Anthony Damien was having a conversation with Liam about their business when his phone rang. "Excuse me, one second." He said to Liam before answering the phone call.

"Hello, who is this?" He asked.

The first time he heard it was the sound of laughter. He was confused by the gesture. "Excuse me, who are you?"

The voice on the other side kept laughing in an hysteric manner making Anthony wonder and so he concluded it was a wrong number. "You dialed the wrong number." He said to the person and just as he was about to end the call, he heard his daughter's voice.

"Dad! Daddy! Daddy please save me!" She cried out.

His eyes widened and his heart began to beat faster than normal. "Lily?" He called.

"Yes. That's your one and only precious daughter Anthony. That's her voice."

"Who are you? What did you do to my daughter? Where are you!" Anthony shouted. Liam's eyes widened at the mention of Lily's name.

"Lily? What's happening to her?" Liam asked.

"Who are you, I ask!" Anthony shouted.

"You better don't hurt my child or else I would ruin you. Where is she? Don't do anything to her or else I promise to hurt you!" He threatened.

The man laughed out loud. He loved the sound of fear and worry laced on Anthony's voice. He never knew Anthony would easily break.

"You might want to watch the way you speak to me or your precious daughter would be the one to face the consequences." He warned.

"Who are you! Tell me who you are, do not hurt my child!" He shouted.

"I won't Anthony. I won't but only with a few conditions." He said.

"And what is that? I will do anything just don't hurt my precious Lily." He said. He is trying his best not to break down. The fact his daughter was held captive had his heart beating in trepidation. He wasn't worried about not meeting their demands but he wanted his daughters safety.

She was everything he got and he wouldn't be able to move on if she left him behind.

The man laughed. "Wow! Okay. I will tell you what my demand are in the next one hour but for the meantime, do you want to hear the voice of your daughter?" He asked.

"Lily! Lily!" He shouted.

"Daddy," Limy cried out.

"Daddy please come get me out of here. Daddy please!" She pleaded.

"You will be fine my dear. I promise to save you. Worry not. Daddy will make sure you are safe and sound and you will be back home soon." He assured her.

"Enough with the talk now people," The man said, removing the phone from Lily's ear.

"Please don't touch her. I will give you everything you want and need. I will provide it just so I don't hurt a single hair on my baby's head."

"I won't. As long as she does not misbehave. I do not know how to treat people as if they are queens and kings." he said and he ended the call without giving Me Anthony a chance to speak.

"Lily!" Anthony shouted through the phone.

"What happened? What's wrong with Lily?" Liam asked with worry laced on his tone.

"She has been Kidnapped." He said weakly as he heart broke. He had always protected her and he gave her guards but the guards had failed to do their job and made his daughter's life at risk.

"Christopher!" He shouted, banging the top of his table hard.

"You mean she's kidnapped? By who and how!" He asked, clearly worried.

"I do not know who those people are but I promise to kill them with my bare hands if my daughter is hurt in any possible way." He spat out through gritted teeth.

"Christopher!" he shouted again.

Chris ran into the office to answer Mr Anthony. As soon as he opened the doors, Mr Anthony launched at him as he used his hands to strangle him.

Liam went in-between them as he Separated.

"I will kill you! You only had one job and that was to protect my daughter but you failed and let her get kidnapped!" He shouted.

Chris' eyes widened upon hearing the words of Mr Anthony. Lily got kidnapped? By who? He thought to himself.

His Heart broke hearing all of this and he began to blame himself. Maybe if he had gone with her, maybe if he hadn't hurt her, maybe then, she would be here.
