Chapter 36: Chapter 36

Havanna's POV

The blindfold they used, didn't let my tears pour down properly, as my eyes became hot.

I felt them toss me into a car, and they both sat close to me, making sure I was in their middle.

They didn't even act like I had said something, and that was when I knew that begging them was of no use to me. It might even worsen the situation.

"I'm sure you have a sister, you wouldn't be too happy if you discovered that she was in this situation" I spoke softly, trying to manipulate them.

"Shut your mouth, and don't try to drag my sister into this. I work with money, so if you are not talking about money. You shouldn't be speaking at all" he spoke rudely to me. Not like I was expecting him to be nice, at least he didn't slap me.

I wonder if Lucian is even bothered about me, is he even searching for me at all?

"Your so-called president of a husband has already made things difficult for us, by putting the whole country on a standstill.

No doubt, he is doing all this so he can get to you" the man laments, and I don't know why a smile crawled up on my face. I just felt safe, that at least he was looking for me.

I know he will find me, I just need to have faith…..he will surely find me.

"Oh shit," one of the thugs lamented as the vehicle came to a sudden stop.

"They are here" the person driving the car spoke.

"We can't go forward, we will have to turn around now before it's too late" I heard him say.

Immediately, I felt them reversing the car, but they were soon accompanied by the sounds of sirens

"Why are they coming after us now?" One of them asked.

"I don't know, but we will have to lose them or we will be dead meat" The driver fired the engines, he was driving too fast and too recklessly. He made sudden turns, without even slowing down.

I was so scared that they would kill me before the police would get to them.

I felt my head crashing into the driver's seat so many times. It felt like I was bleeding. The sirens' noises were getting closer.

"F*ck " they lamented, as they got close to a narrow end.

They began to lose my ropes, as they dragged me out of the vehicle, taking off my blindfolds.

They gave me a hijab to wear, so I could cover my face, as they ran with me into a nearby restaurant.

"Now, you have to listen very carefully. You are going to act like we are here on a date or else….

We just don't know how far we can go to save ourselves" one of them instructed me, and threatened me at the same time.

I simply shook my head, unable to say anything. I was so hungry anyway, it wouldn't be a bad idea if they ordered something.

We sat at a table, and a waitress soon approached us, and asked what we would like to have.

"Ehrm, I will have the turkey, with the basmati rice. '' I looked at her, still holding the menu in my hands. The man looked at me, while the other two behind us couldn't help but laugh.

"Why did you have to order something? Couldn't you tell her that we were okay, and even if you had to order? Did you need to order something so expensive?.

Who is going to pay for that!" He looked at me with widened eyes, and I didn't care about his opinion.

"You were the one who asked me to act like we were on a date, so I ordered what I normally order when I go on a date. My husband would have paid the bills, but you just had to kidnap me, didn't you?" I rolled my eyes.

"You!" He threatened me. At first, I was scared but I gathered the courage to talk back to him.

I know that they would never harm me, so long as I didn't scream or make a fuss about being kidnapped.

"I what? Okay fine, cancel the order then. You will see how I'll scream, and everyone will know something is wrong.

You don't even want to imagine what my husband will do to you, if he finds out that you have kidnapped me. If he can make the country go on a lockdown, just because I am missing.

Then, imagine what he would do to the people who had the guts to put him through so much stress in the first place" I looked at him, trying to lower my voice. I was shocked at how much confidence I had gathered.

At that moment, he became silent as he turned to look at his members who were also shocked by how I sounded. I wouldn't be blamed, they started it, and to think they wanted to starve me as well.

Even Lucian would never starve me, no matter how stubborn I turned out to be, so who did they think they were?

"Even your boss will not be happy if he finds out that you people are starving me. I have not eaten since yesterday when you forcefully took me. So, if I were you, then I'll let me eat, because keeping me alive is to your advantage" I spoke to him.

I was more than delighted when I saw the waitress bring my food to me, as I shook my head and ate happily.

Lucian's POV

"What do you mean, you cannot track her phone" I scolded the person in front of me.

It has been twenty-four hours since Havana left this house. Was she in an accident, did someone take her?.

I don't even know what I am expected to assume, but if someone had taken her, then they would have called to ask for a ransom by now. I am willing to pay about any amount, just to get her in my arms again.
