"Where's everyone?" I asked towering my eyes around.
I walked into Elena's room and ambled out after getting the documents she asked me to, I was two-step closer to the front door when I noticed a strange aura around, the hutch I feel kept getting stronger, something Is indeed not right.
The second I took a step outside, I heard a glass scatter on the floor, which instantly got my attention.
"Who's there!". I returned to the house, looming my eyes around.
No one seems to alter a word to me, but when I attempted to leave once again, Riya yelled out my name.
"Salem, help me".
Quickly I rushed over to her room and saw she was tied up to her bed.
"Riya, what's going on?' i asked ambling closer to her.
she tries to give me a sign someone else was in the room, but when I got to understand the terrified look on her face, a vase was smashed on my head.
I had no idea what happened but when I got myself, I glimpsed that I was bundled to a place I had no idea off, Riya sobs softly with her gaze fixed downwards.
"Riya! Are you okay?".
That was a foolish question to ask but it was the only thing my head could think of.
She lifts her gaze and trembled her head in displeasure, "no, I am not okay, who are they and why did they kidnap us?.
Not long, an elderly man walks in and met us at our tied-up position.
He wears a devilish smile.
"Who are you?" I asked in curiosity.
The man turns to me and said, "you need not worry about who I am but worry about your lives when Elena Khan refuses to give in to my demands".
58.
What demands? I asked myself, what kind of a shady deal is Elena Khan involved in, I believe there's more to her life from what I know.
"Look, sir! My apologies but we don't know what problems you have with Elena but please don't do anything that you might regret, you might take me hostage but please send Riya home".
I said.
My concern was to make sure that Riya doesn't get caught in the middle of a rolling stone and to add it all up, Riya turns her attention and said, "please don't try to pretend that you care about me! I can take care of myself, I don't need your help". she hissed fixing her eyes away.
It's crazy but, did she forget I am here all tied up like a criminal because of her, if she didn't call for help, I would not have been here in this messed-up position.
"Oh wow, miss, I don't need your help anymore, may I remind you that, you called out to me for my assistance, I didn't just presume that you were in danger and came running out to you". In an aggravated tone, I answered back.
For the second time, she hissed and smacked my tongue at me
The man that kidnapped us, had to ask if we were dating, I had no other option but to say no.
Not quite long, Elena's call came through, the man veers his back at us and went away.
I had no idea what they both talked about but I will not remain here to find out.
While his attention was fixed elsewhere, I stretched out my leg and got a hold of a piece of broken glass on the floor.
somehow I managed to free myself without gaining getting caught.

(THANKS SO MUCH, GOD BLESS)
59.
Riya, please do you have your mom's number?".
I asked her since I forgot my phone back at home.
She looked away and kept me without a response.
"Wow, you're just too much Riya" I frowned upon turning my gaze away.
we have got to find a safe place to be for today since the day has already gone.
My eyes wandered away, spotting a little cottage a few blocks from where we stood, it was the only solution Riya and I had.
We went to the cottage, I knocked and an elderly woman comes out.
" Who are you?".
The woman brings out a loaded gun.
I pulled Riya behind.
"Hello ma'am, good evening, I don't know how to say this, but our car broke down and we checked everywhere for help, but all to no avail, so my wife and I was hopeful that you can help us stay in for tonight, then tomorrow morning, we will be on our way!".
I smiled while explaining
