Chapter 36 Grace is kidnapped

He watched her move across the road. The bitch had been under constant protection and she had not even realized it. The man in shades putting on baseball clothes was so evident it was glaring. He was protecting her and he was growing impatient with watching her. they had been all lovey-dovey with Alex, always moving to the office together and returning together. After that, if she went for groceries, there was that man, now her bodyguard following her. he felt his hands itch with the desire to strangle. Yes, the bitch would pay for leaving him, and the baby too. She had betrayed him by going for a man like Alex.

For the past three days, he had been staged just outside her apartment, making sure to keep busy in case the newly installed CCTV cameras captured him. The bastard had gone on ahead to make the place look like a fucking fortress and it was pissing him off. But he knew that they would slip up, he just had to take his time. She had not known who had been sending her the threats but he was.

When he got to his apartment, he went down to the basement. The basement was filled with her pictures. Pictures of her before she had moved to stay near Alex before she had finished school. Then pictures of her with Alex, during the fundraise, cut out from magazines. Pictures of her showing her baby bump as she went to work. She had looked ethereal, but now when he looked at those pictures, he saw red. Anger towards her and everything that concerned her made him angry.

In his anger, he took a portion of the pictures and tore them. The others he placed on the wall, pinning them with a pin. Taking a knife, he stabbed her abdomen. Until there was nothing there. Then he took the pictures she was with Alex, cut off Alex, and then again stabbed her at her abdomen. Looking at all that, his eyes all red, he laughed maniacally. At that time, his phone rang and he picked it up on the second ring.

He knew who was calling him immediately the phone rang. They had met each other by pure coincidence, and now they both had a similar goal. No not really similar, he got to do something he wanted and still get paid for it. Picking it up, he listened as the disguised voice of the man weaved through his phone. “Have you done the job yet?” He asked in a cool voice, that spoke of indifference.

“Not yet, sir, the girl has been protected like she is the queen of America. But slowly, I know they will make a mistake. They can’t always protect her, then I will get her and you will wire me the money I need.” He did not want to kill grace, no on the contrary he wanted her to like him. The only thing he did not like was others taking her away from him and he would definitely steal her back.

An opportunity presented itself one day when she stopped at a point to go for some clothes shopping. Nowadays she shopped in classy clothing boutiques, spending money as she had never spent before. He did not know why the bodyguard or Alex was not with her, but that was just fine with himself. He gave her sufficient time to shop, before waiting for her just near her car, his cape dropped to cover most of his face. His beard had grown over time and right now, no one could even guess who he was. When she eventually got back from shopping, walking excitedly towards her car, he moved from the shadows. Standing behind her, he made sure to keep the knife pointed at her back while pretending to hug her from behind.

Before she could make any whimper, they turned back to move towards his own vehicle. Getting there, he shoved her into the back seat, took cell tape, and taped her mouth. He then took her handbag and switched off her phone. Tying her hands with a cloth that could expand, he locked the door and moved to the driver’s seat, and started off the car. He traveled fast and by the time they were branching into a different road, he had stopped his car and blindfolded her.

When he got to the warehouse, he switched off the engine and parked the car. Picking her up from the seat, he carried her on his shoulder, before unceremoniously dumping her on the floor. It did not take long before h took the blindfold off and the mouth sticker. Releasing her hands, he took them and sat her on a seat. He took her hands behind her back and tied them. He then tied her legs spread apart on the stool.
