Chapter 51

Dante's pov

I growned angrily when I realised that Crystal is in some shady place, away from the decent part of the city.

Martin has fucking today invited his own death.

"When are we going to reach the destination?" I asked furiously to the officer who was beside me to which he gulped.

"Few more minutes, sir" He replied.

I groaned and looked outside the car to see the darkness around. It's already night now. Crystal must be so scared by now.

God please keep her fine.

I prayed looking up towards the sky when the car suddenly stopped.

"What happened?" I asked raising my eyebrows to which the driver turned to look at me.

"There is someone's car in the middle of the road" He said and got off the car. I too got out of the car and was shocked to see Crystal's car.

"It's Crystal's car" I said with wide eyes.

"Sir" We heard a voice and turned to look at the cop pointing at something or I can say someone.

I walked upto him to see that he was pointing at.. Tyler.

"He is Tyler, Crystal's driver" I said and bend down to see that Tyler was bleeding hard.

"He is dead" One of the officer said to which I closed my eyes in agony.

I was about to touch him but the officer stopped me with wide eyes.

"Sir please you can't touch him. It's a murder case" He said to which I nodded.

Looking at the bunch of cuts on his back I felt sick and quickly got up. I suddenly felt scared.

"W-we can't waste the time. We have to fucking find Crystal right now. Don't know what that motherfucker must be doing to her" I said gulping the fear.

"Yes mister knight. Joe and Alex, you both stay here and call the forensic team and ambulance, okay" Senior officer said and ran towards the car followed by me and the other officers.

We soon settled ourselves in the car and drove towards the location.

Crystal's pov

"Help" I yelled looking at the closed door hoping for someone to come.

"Please help" I again yelled while crying feeling helpless at the situation but to my luck someone opened the door and switched on the lights.

I blinked my eyes for couples of times and saw that a goon was there.

"What do you want?" He asked in a grumpy voice.

"I-I want to use the washroom" I said slowly to which he looked at me dangerously.

"Please" I said again to which he growled at me angrily but still came to me.

"I'm opening you but don't try to pull any stunt or else I'll kill you" He warned before opening my ropes to which I nodded.

Soon he opened my hands and legs and pulled me towards him. I hissed in pain as my wounded thigh came in contact with his hard ass knee and quickly moved a little away from him.

"Come with me" Saying so he dragged me outside the room towards a scheduled looking corridor.

I winched while walking and tried to slow down my speed but that was of no use as he was walking quite fastly.

"Oh god" I whispered softly, waiting for him to stop walking.

Soon he stopped at the end of the corridor and left my wrist and gave me a deadly stare.

"Go and do your business. But don't try anything stupid or else..." He said in a warning tone to which I nodded and went inside the washroom.

Once I entered the washroom I quickly locked the door. I sighed and washed my face, feeling a little bit better from before.

"God" I hissed looking at the amount of blood dripping from the shoulder and thigh. I tried to wash the blood off me but that was quite painful.

"God please help me to escape" I prayed looking heavenward.

"Are you done?" That goon banged the door from outside to which I panicked.

"Oh god" I cried thinking about the consequences when suddenly my eyes went towards a knife which was thrown beside the dustbin.

I quickly grabbed that knife and hid it inside my clothes and later opened the door.

"What took you so long, bitch?" He asked in dangerous voice but I remaind silent.

He groaned angrily and again started dragging me towards the room. I once again hissed in pain but somehow controlled myself.

When we reached my previous room he ordered me to sit in the chair to which I nodded.

As soon as I sat in the chair he turned around and bend down to grab the ropes from the floor. In the meantime I pulled out the knife from my clothes and stabbed his neck from behind.

He yelled in pain and tried to turn around but I again stabbed him. I stabbed him again and again and when he finally got unconscious I let out a small thanks to God.

I quickly left the room and locked the room from behind so that nobody doubts me.

I quickly started to wander around the corridor hoping for a escape but each and every room had dead end. I was now beyond frustrated.

"Damn" I cursed looking for a way when I heard someone's footsteps approaching me. I quickly hid myself in one of the room and closed the door from inside.

I looked around to see that the door was little cracked. I peeked from the crack to see that a goon was wandering with wobbly legs around with a glass of alcohol in his hands. He looked quite drunk.

Just don't go inside the room. I prayed hoping for him to not to inside the room where I was held captive.

But seems like today God was in my side as he quickly fell in the floor and passed out. I sighed in relief and waited for him and got up or something. But when I was confirmed that he was unconscious I quickly opened the door and went close to him with knife pointing towards him.

I quickly started to examine him and found a mobile phone in his right pocket. I grabbed that phone and again went inside the room.

"Thank God" I chirped happily when I realised that there wasn't any lock in his phone.

I quickly dialled Dante's number but he didn't picked up. I tried again but still he didn't answered the phone.

"Dante please pick up the phone" I mumbled and again dialled his number but he still didn't answer.

Getting frustrated from him, I decided to call the cops and dialled 911 and to my luck they answered the call in just three rings.

"Hello New york police speaking. How may I help you?" A voice came from another side to which I sighed in relief.

"Hello I'm Crystal Knight and I have been kidnapped by my bodyguard and Ethan Kingsley. They have taken me in some abandoned place away from the city. Please help me or else they will kill me" I said sobbing a little.

"Crystal Knight? Mr Dante's wife? We are already searchin-" Before the person could have said something else, the phone suddenly disconnected causing me to frown.

I looked at the phone to see that the network was gone now. Fuck.

I shook my head in annoyance and decided to leave the room but again heard someone's footsteps. I peeked from the crack to see that Martin was walking towards the room where I was held captive before.

Oh No.

My eyes widened in fear and I quickly hid myself behind a wide table.

Soon I heard Martin's voice. He was yelling my name in anger. Shit.

I kept hiding myself behind the table when someone opened the room.

God please save me.

I peeked my head a little to see that Martin was searching someone, probably me.

I quickly ducked my head more inside, hoping for him to leave soon.

After a few seconds I heard his footsteps getting distant but before I could have celebrated my happiness, the phone in my hand started ringing loudly. Fucking hell.

I quickly disconnected the phone but soon felt a presence beside me. With a heavy breathing, I turned a little to see that Martin was standing beside me with a smirk on his face.

I quickly stood up from my place and took a few steps back from him.

"Hey princess. I didn't knew that you love playing hide and seek, huh?" He said sarcastically and took a step closer to me.

The phone in my hand once again started ringing but before I could have done something, Martin snatched the phone from my hand and threw that against the wall.

"You shouldn't have done that Crystal" Martin said in a slow but dangerous voice causing me to shiver in fear.

He again took a step closer to me and grabbed my hairs in his fists tightly and pulled my face towards him.

"Tell me, tell me who did you call?" He asked dangerously but I kept my mouth shut.

"TELL ME" This time he yelled and slapped me.

"I-I didn't called anyone" I lied and let out a sob.

"You fucking lier. Tell me" He yelled and grabbed my throat, choking me.

"L-leave" I cried and tried to free myself from his hold but his hold was quite tight.

While crying I suddenly remembered about the knife and quickly pulled that out the knife from my back pocket and stabbed him in his chest.

"Shhittt" Martin cursed leaving me.

Taking the chance I kneed him hard between his legs but I let out a yell as my injured thigh started paining more from the action but thankfully Martin sat in the floor crying.

I quickly started running away but Martin caught my leg with one of his hand and tried to pull me. I quickly stabbed his wrist to which he instantly left me. I sighed and locked him inside the room and then finally took a breath of relief.

I look at my thigh to see that more blood was oozing from my wounded thigh.

"Ethan, Crystal has locked me and is trying to escape and she has also called someone. Probably cops or Dante. Don't let her go. We have to kill her. NOW" I heard Martin yell inside the room.

Shit. He informed Ethan. I have to run fast.

I once again started wandering around the corridor but thankfully this time I found a staircase which was leading downstairs. I started hopping down the staircase ignoring the pain in my thigh and shoulder.

Come on Crystal you can do it. I kept chanting the mantra in my head while hoping down.

Once I got down I quickly went and hid myself in a corner as I saw few goons were running around.

Crystal you have to do it. You have to escape them or else they will not just kill you but will kill your unborn baby. Come on Crystal, come on.

Dante's pov

The fuck is happening with me today. Just a few minutes I got to know that Crystal called the emergency and informed them about her kidnapping. But soon after informing that, her phone got disconnected. And when we tried to call her again, the phone from which she was calling us got switched off.

I'm cursing myself for not picking up her call when she was calling me.

She was probably calling me from some unknown number and I was quite tensed at that time so I didn't though that Crystal was calling me and ignored the call until the officer informed me that Crystal has called in police station informing them about her kidnapping. And when they researched some more, they got to know that before calling them, Crystal was calling me. She fucking called me thrice but I didn't accept the call.

I'm an asshole. I should have accepted the call. I don't know what Crystal must be thinking. What if Martin or Ethan caught her when she was calling me and they did something to her? Shit.

"Officer please drive fast. We can't take more risk now. Crystal is in danger" I said in fear to which the officer nodded.

"Don't worry Mr Knight just ten more minutes and then we will reach" The officer said to which I nodded in panic and messaged Ashton about the situation.

Ten more minutes.

Crystal's pov

I saw the goons running in different direction searching for me with guns in their hands.

"Paul, boss has asked us to kill that girl if we see her. Don't wait for boss to arrive. Just kill her if you spot her and then fucking leave. She has called someone from Jake's phone" I heard the goon informing about me to his partner.

I have to leave fast.

"Here's blood on the floor" I heard them say and looked around my surrounding to see that unknowingly I have gave them a direction towards me via my blood.

Fuck.

I saw them following the blood line and quickly but slowly moved away from that corner after covering my thigh with my palm so that more blood doesn't fall in the ground.

Soon I hid myself in one of the nearest room away from them. I peeked from the window to see that they are still following the line. I groaned and quickly looked around the room and fortunately found a window. I walked towards the window and opened that to see that there is a yard outside the window and there was no bars in the window

Thank God.

I quickly climed the window ignoring the pain and finally jumped out.

Oh my god. I'm almost free now. I almost escape them.

I mentally patted my back and started running away from that abandoned building despite the pain in my thigh.

Come on Crystal.

I kept running and running but to my bad luck I was surrounded with huge trees. Although I was now little bit away from the building but I wasn't in the main road or something. But I still kept running.

Soon I heard guns shooting voice and freeze in my place. I looked back but no one was there but I again heard the guns voice and realised that voices are coming from the building.

Fuck. Run Crystal. Run.

This time I ran with every bit of energy in my body. I have to be alive. For me, for my baby and for my Dante. I can't lose my life for such things. I have to save myself.

I kept running and running when suddenly I heard voices. They were calling my name. Thinking them of being Ethan's goons I kept running but suddenly I heard a familiar voice.

"Crystal" It's Dante's voice. It's Dante. My Dante. My eyes filled with tears thinking about Dante.

"Dante" I yelled at the top of my voice and started following the voice.

After almost running for a few more minutes I saw him. His back was facing me. He was calling my name with a few cops around him.

"Dante" I almost yelled at him. He quickly turned around and looked at me in shock. His clothes were all misplaced along with his hairs. His eyes were bloodshot red and he was heavily sweating. In short he looked tired but he still managed to give me a big satisfied smile.

I smile back at him and was about to run towards him but suddenly heard a loud gun voice and felt an immense amount of pain right in my stomach.

I looked down to see that my stomach was bleeding heavily. Tears started flowing from my eyes in pain and my head started getting dizzy and the next minute I fell in the ground and Dante ran towards me.

"D-Dante" I mattered slowly seeing his scared face.

"Crystal. No please don't-" I couldn't heard more as my eyes closed, leading me to the world of darkness.

"D-Dante" She whispered ever so softly and fell in the ground, clutching her stomach. My eyes went downstairs to see that blood was oozing from her stomach and once again everything around me stopped but this time, in pain and agony.
