Chapter 79: Chapter 79

I looked around hoping to find anything that would help me escape. I tried to move the chair closer to the table where I sighted a scissors but the chair was metal and was heavy.

I thought of screaming for help but I remembered he said it was his house and he could be anywhere near, screaming would make him tape my mouth again.

Minutes flew by and I was still clueless on how to escape. I then began to cry because I didn't know what would become of me. Eduardo doesn't seem to be in his right mind and people like that tend to do the unthinkable.

After crying for long minutes, I slept off and woke up when I heard sounds. It was Eduardo. He was setting a table in front of me

“you must be hungry” he said and dropped a plate of spaghetti on the table with a glass cup and a water bottle

“you have to eat cause you got a long way to go” he said and dropped a fork then looked at me. I looked away

“are you going to eat or what?” he asked

“my hands are tied” I said and hoped he would untie me so I could plan my escape. But he took another chair, sat opposite me, took the food up and brought it to my mouth

“open up” he said. I rolled my eyes

“I'm not hungry” I said in anger and disappointed

“don't get me angry” he said

“I said I'm not hungry! Get that into your skull!” I yelled.

He groaned and punched my face. I winced and turned my head. He took the plate and hit it on my shoulder, the food poured all over me and my shoulder hurt so bad. Even the ceramic plate shattered

He stormed out of the basement and I was left alone to cry. I felt very strong painful tingles from my shoulder and it sent chills down my whole body

I was sitting on a couch in my room when I got a call from my manager that policemen had come to see me and were waiting for me downstairs.

I hopefully went down.

“how are you doing today Mr Sanders?” one of them asked

“fine thank you. Please sit down” I said and we all sat down

“one of our men said he saw Miss Cruz two days ago, when she was going into Ortiz Resorts at around 7pm” the policeman started and I sat up immediately

“Ortiz Resorts? That's Eduardo's family hotel” I said

“we've had the hotel checked and the security said she indeed came in but didn't go out. All the guests that night have been traced and interrogated but non of them has been found guilty”

“wait. So you're saying that there's still no clue yet?” my manager asked and it was as if he read my mind because I was just about to ask that exact question.

“well, we now have a clue because we know the hotel. We just have to figure out what happened to her there” the second police officer said

“have you searched the whole hotel?” I asked

“the search is still ongoing” the first officer said

“okay. Thank you officers” I said and stood up

“my manager will attend to you from here” I added. They stood up and each gave me a handshake. I then went around and climbed up the stairs to my room. When I got in, I sat on my bed and closed my eyes

“what would I do if something really bad happens to you?”

I rested my back on the bed and opened my eyes. I remembered that it was Ortiz Resorts that she was seen last, I should call Eduardo and tell him.

I called him but he didn't pick up so I just dropped the phone
