Chapter 220 - Two Hundred And Twenty: Destruction Worse Than Maya (1/2)

The third point of view

Lily struggled against the bond all to no avail. She had been kept this way for days and her hands were already sore and did she forget to mention she needed to stretch a bit; she was an athletic person.

How was she kidnapped?

Prepared to leave for a party she was invited to, Lily had just stepped into her car in the underground parking lot only to discover she wasn't alone.

There wasn't just one, but two strange men in the backseat of her car.

Lily wanted to scream and run out of her car however, she couldn't move a muscle before a gun, no, scratch that, two guns were pointed at her head.

”Move an inch and these bullets would quickly blast through your brain before you can even say Jack Robinson,” was the deadly command.

She couldn't see their faces but the intensity of their words told her they weren't joking at all. They wouldn't hesitate to end her life If she dares to make a risky move.

”What do you want from me?” She asked with a panic-stricken voice, ”Is it money? I  have enough. Just name your price,” she implored of them.

Lily loved her life, she was twenty-seven; just at the prime of her youth, and cannot die like that.

”Drive” was his command as if her words were nothing but air.

”Is not money?” Her brows were furrowed as she thought hard while driving - she wouldn't dare to disobey the order.

She gulped,” If you don't want my money, is it my nude then? I'll give it to you freely and without hassle, if that's all it takes to let me go,” Lily offered this tempting proposal.

Lily was no model nor actress but she had a beach-perfect body which she maintained with the right exercise and diet.

Thanks to that, she had been compared to a lot of other celebrities in terms of body proportion hence paparazzi wanted nudes pictures of her or even better, a sex tape.

The beautiful television presenter was one of the rare celebrities with zero scandal and a clean record which was quite unbelievable to some paparazzo or made some actresses mad with jealousy that they would pay to just smear her reputation.

Again, her abductor glared at her which made her realize that they wanted nothing from her, and the real fear set in. Were they really intent on murdering her?

Lily continued to drive in the direction they instructed her and when they came to a police checkpoint, her abductors began to converse with her like friends that she would have fallen for the trick if not for the remainder of the gun pointed at her back.

The threat was apparent, ”say a word and you're dead”. So she played it off cool with the cops who regarded them suspiciously.

It was odd seeing two suspicious men in dark clothing sitting in a car and been driven by a stunning woman.

”Are you sure you're okay, ma'am?” The police pressed and Lily saw him wink tactically at her.

Did he know? She was relieved.

Absent-minded, she was about to spill the beans when one of the men leaned towards her seat and tactically pressed the cold metal against her side.

Lily was wearing an evening gown since she was off to a party, hence felt the gun right away.

”A-hem,” she cleared her throat, cutting eye contact with the officer,” Officer, I'm really good. These are my cousins and I'm driving them to their gig tonight hence their inauspicious appearance,”

The officer had a hard time believing her but Lily had dealt with people like him. So with a few words, she bought him over completely - thankfully, he didn't ask for the ID's

”Have a nice journey, ma'am,” he even wished her.

As soon as the police were out of sight, her abductors took over the car while she ended up gagged and restrained in the backseat.

Yep, that was how she ended up here - she had no idea where she was. Lily had been blindfolded her entire stay.

And God! She ached all over, especially her back, and was so hungry she could finish a cow right now if allowed to. The only thing closest to a word called ”food” she received from her abductors was rationed plain bread with water- which was an abomination.

Yes, she was constantly on a diet to keep fit especially with her line of work but she ate healthily - and deliciously, if she might add.

That bread was just like plain flour mixed with water and baked. Wasn't kidnapers supposed to treat their captive better so they don't die? The way she saw things, they gave no damn to her comfort nor well-being, but one thing they haven't done was assault her sexually - which she was grateful for.

But the irritating thing was the silence. Lily could surmise that she had been here for over four days or so and sometimes it could get so silent she thought she was in a graveyard.

The silence was nerve-wracking and emotional draining that she would scream her lungs out just to make some sort of noise and assure herself that she was still in human territory and not a forest where the wild beasts would ravage her body.

Lily was scared, so scared that she had urinated on herself twice after hearing a gun go off. What the hell does this mysterious captor want from her?

Once, Lily had grasped on the sleeve of one of her abductors who fed her the usual barbaric meal of bread and water. She had been blindfolded since day one of being brought here that it wouldn't surprise her if she had gone blind.
