Chapter 30- He knows

Rileys POV

Owwww. I shouldn’t have opened my mouth the last time. But hey who can stop my mouth? Exactly nobody.

I opened my eyes to take in my surroundings, I was expecting a dungeon or a cell. Instead I was in a rather nice room. Don’t get too happy Riley maybe they keeping you all nice and all because they want to ship you off to Egypt.

Is your conscience this stupid?

Pshhh maybe it’s a good thing I can be the next Cleopatra.

“Hey you, crazy girl! Would you stop making your face all creepy like Dr Bravestone from Jumanji!” Ahh my loving kidnapper is here.

“Oh Romeo wherefore art thou-”

“Just this once please keep quiet.” Roman scowls

“Since you asked nicely then okay.” Let’s see how long I can shut up for

“Boss has sent me to give you food. Why don’t you make my life easy and tell me what you want?” he asks and I keep quiet

.

.

3 minutes of silence that’s all it took for him to burst.

“I am asking you a damn question can you not answer!” He screams

“Well you did ask me to keep quiet, I was only following your orders.” I smile oh so sweetly at him

“If this situation was mine to meddle with I would let you starve but since I don’t want to die today, you better cooperate.” He asks rather calmly

“Quick question, do you guys always ask your captives what they would fancy eating. Or am I just special?” it’s weird because everytime I was kidnapped I was given horrifying food. That I wouldn’t even feed a donkey

“Don’t get to happy princess you’re just worth more than anyone else right now.” He smirks

“Can I just get my food?  I mean not that I don’t trust you or anything, I just love to cook.” I batt my eyelashes at him and give my cutest puppy face.

“I uh I er.”I tried my best to hold my laugh in. Aww big scary boy is speechless.

He clears his throat. “I think that won’t be necessary because there is a cook here and that old lady makes nice food.”

Now what do I do?

Oh yes, dad once told me that if I was ever in a situation where I was kidnapped. Always check for an emergency exit behind the cupboard. Most places may have it so I think I should try here.

“Last time I am asking you. What do you want!”

“I'll have a bacon and egg sandwich, with a glass of fresh orange juice. And a green salad with curly fries.” I would really like some chips right now

“Man you eat like a-”

“Man?” I finished for him

“Stay here don’t move an inch-” he rolls his eyes

I took a step to my left. What?  He said don’t move so the sensible thing to do is move.

“Just shut up and don’t leave this room.” He mutters and leaves locking the door.

Now time to get started, I really put a lot of faith into my plan. But there still is a possibility there is no way out. But what’s better than to try?  I grabbed the side of the cupboard and jerked it forward before pushing it to my right. Nothing. Absolutely nothing besides a stupid wall.

I was in a panic mode now. I really have no clue what to do, don’t ask me why but I thought the mini bar fridge will have a secrete passage. So I moved that aside and I can’t even believe my eyes. Wasting no time I pushed myself in the hole. Using all my strength I push my self further and further through it. It was quite small but big enough for me to fit. I saw a light in the distance so I wriggles through as fast as I could.

Was this the best idea for me. Now I’m not so sure. I stepped out and stretched my body, I looked around to see if there was any danger but there are just families all around.  What is this place?

Am I in a resort?  No shit but this place looks awesome and it’s really beautiful. Focus Riley!

Right so I walked around and entered a big kitchen. The staff only sign didn’t stop me, when I walked in I saw an old lady who looked familiar to me. She was using an apron and busy whipping something in the bowl. Maybe she can help, there’s nothing better than to try.

“Hi mam, I’m wondering if you can help me.” She turns around and looks at me in awe. Weird?

“Riley?  Honey you’ve grown so much.” She knows me?

“I’m sorry, you look really familiar but I’m still unsure of who you are?” I tilt my head to the side

“I’m Rosetta, I used to work at your home. I was your cook when you was still a small girl. Your dad was just the sweetest person ever.” She says with a distant smile

Realization hit me. She always played with me when she wasn’t busy. “Roseyyy.” My eyes widened

“Yes honey I'm your Rosey.” She chuckled and hugged me

“I’m not sure how to tell you this. But I’ve been kidnapped and I found a passage behind the fridge and-”

“Oh sweety, let’s go to my room it’ll be safer there.” She panics. She grabs a chefs hat and places it on my head and ushers me to follow her. She had a metal rolling pin in her hand. I looked at her confused.

"Protection." She chuckled. When we were inside she locks the doors and asks me to sit on the bed.

“Can you tell me where I am?” at least I can contact Wa-

Wade oh my God I hope he’s okay. This is all my fault. I should just stay away from him to keep him safe. Yes I need to.

“Honey do you recognize this logo?” She hands me a brochure.  I took it and saw a picture of a baby blue flower with a butterfly on its petal with M in cursive in the middle of it.

No way!!!

Flashback

“Where's daddy’s little flower?”

“I’m here daddy.”I giggled and ran into his arms

“I need some help with work, can you help me angel?”

“Yup” grinning I followed him into his office. Daddy put a chair for me and I put all my colour pencils on the table.

“Daddy wants you to draw him a picture. Draw your two favourite things in the circle.”

Daddy sat and watched me draw something. I liked flowers and butterflies so I drew daddy a pretty picture of one and coloured it in.

“Daddy close your eyes.” I giggled.

Chuckling. “Okay angel."

Tadaaa

“This is so pretty thank you for drawing this. Daddy loves it.” He kisses my forehead and grins

“Daddy something is missing.” I sniffled.

“I got an idea.” He smiles. He takes my pencil and draws a squiggly M on it

“Perfecto!” I giggle.

“It is indeed.”

End of flashback

“Daddy?” full tears were rolling down my cheeks. It’s been so long since I had a flashback about him.

“Yes sweety many years ago your dad had asked you to draw a picture for him. He wanted something special so he made that drawing into the logo for the Matthew resort. I was your dads trusted worker so he asked me to watch over this place when he was busy. That’s why I stopped working at your home I’ve been busy here ever since. And your dad had said once you turn 18 this will be your resort to handle.” Rosey explains

I can’t believe it. Who would think that a child’s drawing would be used for a resort. There’s so much to take in right now. I went through the brochure and saw the many features of this place its huge!  And it’s rated the number one resort and place in the country.

“Mom didn’t tell me about this.” I turned to her

“I'm afraid that your mom didn’t want you to know about this place. I kept in contact with your gardener so he filled me in with everything that goes on at home. Your mom wants to transfer the resort into Freds name. They aren’t successful in doing so because it’s kept rightfully to you. So that’s why she didn’t want you to find out about this.” She explained

“Thank you so much for everything Roseyyyy.” I hugged her and sighed

“May I please borrow your phone?” I need to call Jayden. She passed me her phone and told me to leave it on the table when done. She had to go back to work.

I want to phone Jayden but I don’t know his number. I’ll phone Wade, I learnt his number in case of emergency.

…phone call…

“I'm busy phone back next year”

“Too busy for me. Pshhh”

“Riley! Oh my lord. Are you okay. Where are you!”

“I'm fine for now. I just found out I’m at Matthew resort. Please come qui-

“Well well well. Nice to see you daughter.” The door opened revealing a very happy looking Fred.

“Don’t call me that.” I spit out. Wade is still listening I didn’t cut the call.

“Hmm, someone has become feisty.” He chuckles and approaches me. Behind him stood two men blocking the door

“Stay away from me Fred!” I grit out and move back

“Nah uh darling. You my precious are going to make me a lot of money. So if you don’t want your poor pathetic mother to die. You will cooperate.” He smirks. He’s standing I’m front of me with his hands in his pocket

Money?  Me? BELLATRIX! He knows, oh my god

Wade. He’s going to hate me, all the guys will. My life is going to ruined, it doesn’t matter anymore if I am killed.

“Fine. Leave my mother and everyone else in my life alone. And I will do  exactly what you tell me to.” I have no choice. I’m sure Fred has a plan to ship me off or something.

“Aww ain’t that sweet of you. I want you to keep your mouth closed and listen to my instructions.”

His guards moved aside and he walked out both his guards grabbed my arms and led me to my room. Wade heard the call so he knows at least something. I’ve walked for at least 13 minutes before stopping. The room had no windows because it was sealed with cement pieces here and there. There was also a bed and chair with a mirror.

Fred entered the room with a smile. I knew at that moment he’s going to say something that will destroy me.

“You know why you here so I don’t need to tell you shit. But I will anyway. I’ve always been watching you, wherever you went I was there. Even when you thought no one could see you, I’ve had people watching your every step. After you went to my pathetic fathers house you didn’t return so I knew you was up to no good. When Blade hurt you on your trip I knew that scar would make things easier on my part. I have many men who will be keen to know that the famous ruthless streetfighter Bellatrix is non other than my daughter.

They will pay millions for you, that beautiful scar will reveal to them that I did indeed keep to my word about marking you. Let me explain when you have something as valuable as yourself you need some form of tattoo or mark to show you own that person. I know you would never agree to a tattoo from me so hurting you was the next best thing.”

He knows he always did. How can I be so stupid. I feel so numb that I can’t think nor can I move. The tears want to flood out but I refuse to let him see. I had my stone cold face on, there was no use denying anything so I nodded.

“You will change into your black clothes and use your lipstick and all that crap of yours everything is in the bag. You mask is there don’t forget it, I don’t need people knowing who you are as yet. You will fight and win every match that I have you in. You will work for me, whoever was your stupid boss for fighting before is long gone. At 7 food will be brought to you, you will eat it then be ready for your match tonight. Don’t try and run because I will always find you Riley Matthews.” He commands and leaves.

As soon as the door locked I cried and cried till I passed out.

Wade I need you
