CHAPTER ONE.
Gabrielle Ray sat by the floor-to-ceiling window in her room admiring the view of the garden, her li-ps curved slightly while thinking about her husband to be.
To the outside world, she looked so happy and calm but de-ep down she was nervous and couldn’t shake off the weird feeling.
“What are you doing over there Hunny, If you keep dazing out like this we’re gonna be late for your wedding. Am sure you don’t wanna keep him waiting.” Mrs Monica Ray, Gabrielle’s mom.
She walked toward her daughter with a wide grin on her face.
“I’m so nervous mom.” Gabrielle let out a sigh before walking towards the mirror. She looked at her angel themed wedding dress and smiled happily.
Mrs Monica held Gabrielle and led her away from the balcony to the mini living room in her bedroom, where her friends and Family were anxiously waiting for the new bride to be .
“You look beautiful baby girl.” Kathy Gabrielle’s best friend hu-gged her friend with teary eyes.
“Oh stop being dramatic Kathy it’s not like I’m leaving forever, you can always call me you know?” Gabrielle chuckled softly feeling better after talking to Kathy.
Gabrielle ‘s little sister also gave her a hu-g and a peck on the cheeks even though de-ep down she’s burning with jealousy.
Harry had always been the man of her dreams but at the end of the day he choose her.
“Come on girls it’s time to go,Harry is getting impatient already.” Gabrielle ‘s dad called out before taking his daughter’s hand In his.
AT THE CATHEDRAL.
Gabrielle walked hand in hand with Ray Montero into st Louis cathedral where all the guest were waiting for the beautiful bride.
She was nervous and anxiously chewing on her bott-om li-p, trying to keep her eyes on her husband waiting on altar with a dashing smile .
After what seem like forever she finally arrived beside her groom who took her hand from her dad and planted a gentle ki-ss on it.
“You look beautiful babe.”he whispered into her ear and she blus-hed slightly.
“Not so bad either.”
The ceremony was being wrapped up in a jiffy and Gabrielle couldn’t be more happy.
Just a few miles away from the cathedral, parked a knight XV. In it sat the vicious man with his driver. He seems not to care about anything but himself.
His long legs were crossed elegantly while he held a cigarette in between his long flawless fingers.
“Ready to intercept boss, permission to engage?”Ross the driver asked staring at his boss throu-ghthe rear view. His skin was pale like that of a Vampire and li-ps red like blood. His white silky hair kept falling against his face, apparently his fingers has been messing up his hair style.
He dumped the cigarette on the ash tray and smiled coldly.
“Patience Ross. Tell them a strand shouldn’t go missing.” He smi-rked and looked outside the window with those blue eyes. He looked like a god outta a painting.
INSIDE THE CATHEDRAL.
Gabrielle was beyond happy when everything went smoothly with no objections.
A few docu-ments were handed over to her and she signed them without reading what was writing on it.
“By the power bestowed upon on me I no pronounce you man and w…” And that’s when all hell let loose,, the whole cathedral went dark throwing everyone into panick mode.
Gabrielle held onto to Harry like her life depends on it.
“What’s happening Harry I can’t see a thing.” She shuddered.
“I don’t know Elle, maybe the power went……” He didn’t get to complete his sentence when someone nabbed him from the shadows.
Gabrielle almost died from shock when she couldn’t find her husband anywhere. The place was pitch black with everyone trying to get out she couldn’t see a thing.
“Gabrielle!!” She heard her best friend calling out to her from behind.. she turned around around happily only to be hit ha-rd on the head.
The last thing she remembered was being carried away by someone.
***
“Ray please I beg you bring my daughter back to me..find her please, I can’t ba-re to lose my child I would die please.” Monica knelt down Infront of her husband crying her balls out. Turns out Gabrielle and Harry had been abducted at the cathedral, it’s been three days and they haven’t been found.
“I’m trying trust me love have got the best men searching for them while waiting for the abductors to making a call demanding for random but surprisingly there hasn’t been any.” Ray heaved a sigh and brou-ght Monica into his embr@ce.
” Sighs stop crying my love, I promise to find our daughter okay? Now go back to your room and rest you look terrible dear.” Ray comforted his wife and took her upstairs to the master bedroom.
Annabelle stood by the corner watching them. With a roll of her eyes she walked back to her room. She picked up her phone and called someone.
“Hey it’s me Annabelle.” She whispered Into her phone.
“What do you want?” The other side asked coldly, making her shiver slightly.
“Why did you take him with you that wasn’t part of the plan!” Annabelle blasted over the phone.
“I don’t have to answer to you miss, do yourself a favor and stop calling me else it’s gonna be your head that’s gonna be served to your father tonight. Piss off b***h!!” He hissed irritatedly and hung up leaving Annabelle shuddering alittle.
“What the hell?” She cursed silently ru-b-bing the goosebumps on her arm.
How did the tables turned???
This is all that wrench fault! If she had insisted on getting engaged to Harry in the first place she would have been the one in his arms right now.
She chewed on her nails nervously thinking of what to do next, obviously she has been double crossed..
CHAPTER TWO.
Gabrielle Gr0-ned softly with her hand mas-saging her temple. After what seem like forever she opened her eyes and blinked rapidly trying to adjust to the bright light in the room.
It took awhile to realize that she was in an unfamiliar room, with minimalist Interior design and wallpapers, She wide-ned her eyes in horror when everything became clear . She jumped off the queen sized bed and looked around the room in fear of being watched but to her surprisingly there wasn’t a soul in the room.
She wondered if her kidnappers had called her family for random. She was reminded of how Harry got separated from her.
Gabrielle flinched in fright when someone tapped on the door softly before turning the door knob to come in.
A cold chill ran down her spine while staring at the door terrified of whatever or who ever was coming for her.
The door was pulled open by a guard and two young ladies in maid uniform walked in with a towel and a cart filled with all kinds of mouth watering dishes. She gulp down a mouthful of saliva trying to ignore the grumbling in her stomach.
“It’s Time for your bath my lady.” The Blondie spoke with a slight bow, only then did Gabrielle realized her clothes have been changed.
She felt waves of anger, shame and resentment burst throu-ghher.
“Excuse me please, why am I here? Who changed my clothes? Who the Fu-ck brou-ght me here?” She couldn’t control herself anymore. There’s no way she would be spending a night here.
“I’m afraid I don’t have answers to your questions, only the master can.” The brunette hair girl spoke while stealing glances at the other maid.
“And yes we were the ones who changed your outfit, the master said your weren’t comfortable in them.” The Blondie added.
Gabrielle felt goosebumps all over just thinking about this so-called master making her think If she was actually sold into slave trading.
“Please can you at least give me a name? Anything please.” Gabrielle walked towards the maid absentmindedly they both stepped away in Panic.
“Can you please not make this anymore complicating and let us bath you.” Brunette whispered pointing towards the bathroom shaking slightly.
It was obvious they were scared of their master, for once Gabrielle saw fear written all over them.
She sigh and obeyed. There’s was no point resisting when she was in their territory anyway, maybe she could talk the master into setting her free. Plus she wasn’t haras-sed in her unconscious state making believe the person in charge was a descent reasonable man or so she thought.
After a bath session which scru-b-bing and bubbles she was clad in a pink floral dress with rose pattern at the hem.
She at down on the single sofa In the unfamiliar room after the maids left and sigh softly.
‘Where are you Harry, I’m going crazy already.’ a sigh escaped her li-ps while staring at the cart of food beside her, her stomach grumbles again.
There was no point starving, its not like she could fight with an empty stomach.
She picked the cutlery and devoured the food. Unknown to her someone had been watching everything in the shadows quietly.
She scoffed coldly and left throu-ghthe balcony.
Gabrielle stopped eating when she felt a pair of cold eyes on her, she turned to the balcony but strangely there’s no one there.
She shrugs and went into the bathroom, she doesn’t find it comforting bathing Infront of two adults. nee-ded to shower all over again. After a 30mins cold shower she walked outta the bathroom wrapped in a towel only to find someone sitting comfortably reading a newspaper.
She shrink back in fear holding on to the towel for her dear life.
“Hey! Can you at least knock before walking in here unannounced!!! ” Gabrielle glared at the beautiful creature even she felt goosebumps all over. He was everything excited and cold, something moms always warn their kids about.
He raised his head and stared at her before looking back at the newspaper coldly.
“Tsk! Don’t flatter yourself baby girl and for the record I can be anywhere I want to as this is my house.” He stated coldly.
‘Oh great I finally meet the je-rk in charge.’ she rolled her eyes internally.
She couldn’t stop herself from asking the questions swirling in her head.
“What do you want from me and why did you bring me here? Do you know who I’m?” She faked confidence when in reality she was felt the atmosphere gone colder.
He dropped the newspaper unhurriedly and picked a docu-ment beside him and threw it a few steps away from where she stood.
“Your groom who else love? ” He smi-rked mockingly.
Gabrielle almost stumbled and held onto the bedside cabinet.
“My what????”
