KIDNAPPED

🌼 PROLOGUE 🌼

Christiana slowly opened her eyes but quickly shut them back up as a splitting headache ran through her head. She immediately let out a groan. Not only was her head hurting but her whole body was literally on fire.

And to add to the pain she was feeling, her eyes quickly snapped open when a sudden realization drew to her;

Wait a minute;

This wasn't her room!

Christiana tried to jerk up but was held back by something and it was at that moment her eyes widened even more.

One, she was on lying on a king-sized bed, completely naked!

Secondly, her hands were tied to the fucking bed and there were scattered rose petals used to decorate the bed. And did I add the fact that looking down, Christiana could vividly see the traces of love hickeys all over her body?

"What the... "

What was she doing here? Why is she naked in an unfamiliar room?

These questions kept ringing in Christiana's mind and her brain didn't hesitate to give her the answers.

She slowly started to remember what happened.

She could remember she was on her way to get her sick mother's monthly medication when a car pulled up before her and she was dragged in by two hefty men.

The next thing she could remember was this:

She was taken to a room and gently tied to the bed. Moments later, a figure walked in but Christiana could easily dictate it was a man. She wasn't able to see the man's face clearly, probably because of the effect of the drug she was given.

The man climb up to the bed and just one kiss from him was enough to melt Christiana under him and turn off her senses of reasoning. And the next thing she could remember, was the man making sweet love to her, more like rough, hard sex.

But Christiana couldn't deny she was enjoying what this man was doing to her. She was moaning his name loudly and begging for him not to stop.

By the time she was done remembering everything, Christiana's eyes widened in horror and a scream left her lips.

Did she just get kidnapped and had a one-night stand with her kidnapper?!

If she had spent the night at her kidnapper's place, then who was taking care of her sick mother?

The innocent woman must be sick and worried about her. She needed to get home immediately!

Christiana started struggling to break from the chain that was used to tie her hands but it was impossible. She pulled and tried to yank the chain off but who was she kidding?

While she was still struggling, the door opened and two women walked in. Christiana looked up and judging from what the two ladies were putting on, she could easily tell they were maids.

"Hey, you two! Get me out of this fucking chain! I need to go home! "

"Please calm down, young Mistress. You're going to hurt yourself " The two women rushed to Christiana and unlocked the chain.

"Good morning, young Mistress. We're here to help you take your bath. We already prepared the hot bath for you " The two women immediately bowed.

Christiana was confused. Why are these women referring her as Mistress?

"Excuse me, who are you two and where am I? "

"We are your personal maid, young Mistress "

"Personal maid? " Christiana wondered to herself and so she decided to ask.

"Why are you two here? "

"Young Master sent us to bathe you and get you ready. He's waiting for you downstairs " The maids bowed politely.

To their surprise, Christiana busted into a crazy laugh.

"No offense but... I think there's a misunderstanding here. My name is Christiana; Christiana Crownway and right now... I need to get back home "

"So if you won't mind giving me something to wear. I can't leave like this " Christiana pointed to her naked self.

"We're sorry, Young Mistress but we can't help you with that. We're here to bathe you so please come with us. Young Master won't be happy waiting for you for a long time "

"Who is this so-called young Master? " Christiana wondered. From the way the maids were mentioning his name with so much respect, she could tell this so-called Young Master must be really powerful and maybe...

He was her kidnapper!

Christiana quickly changed her mind. She decided to play along with the maids so she can see the stupid man who dared to kidnap her.

The maid led Christiana to the gigantic bathroom that was times ten of her bathroom at home. The hot bath was a really suiting one, one that helped relax Christiana tensed body. For once she almost forgot she was kidnapped.

Christiana wanted to ask the maids why they stood and watch her take her bath but decided not to.

Soon, she was done and another set of maids entered the room. They helped her with a beautiful blue sunflower dress and her brown wavy hair was well combed and styled.

By the time they were done, Christiana was wowed. Her skin has never glowed this much. She was looking splendid!

Of course, Christiana knew she was beautiful but today, she was looking even more pretty.

Christiana was gracefully led downstairs to the dining hall. Her eyes wandered in curiosity, her mind wondering about literally everything she set her eyes on. But most especially, she was looking for her kidnapper.

From how Christiana pictured him, her kidnapped must be handsome and quite young for them to have such a steamy night.

But what Christiana eyes landed on made her jaw almost drop to the ground.

"Young Master, she's here just like you requested " The maids bowed and they were both immediately excused, leaving only Christiana and the unknown man seated in the dining.

Christiana didn't know whether it was the man's medium-length hair that was tied back in a small bun or his beautiful and deep grey eyes or his jawline that was strong enough to break anything but...

This man was fucking gorgeous!

If this was the man she had a one-night stand with... then Christiana definitely doesn't regret it. He was totally worth it!

The hot rough sex they had last night flashed through Christiana mind and her cheeks turned red.

But wait a minute...

Did Christiana just forget?

This man was the one who kidnapped her! How can she be admiring the same man who dared to kidnap and take advantage of her?

But damn! Who was she kidding? This man was too beautiful to be her kidnapper.

"Are you done? " The man's thick voice snapped Christiana out of her fantasies.

"Huh? "

"If you're done staring.... "

"Close your fucking mouth, Christiana...

Christiana's pupil dilated a bit in surprise and her face turned red in embarrassment.

But it didn't take long for her to regain her composure and remember what she came downstairs to do.

"Excuse me, who are you? Where am I? What am I doing here and how do you know my name? "

So many questions were thrown at Damien whose brows folded in a deep frown. He wasn't the type who liked being questioned. Deciding to ignore that, Damien headed straight to the point.

He glanced at the guy who was seated at the other side of the dining and who was his assistant, Jeremy.

Jeremy didn't need anyone to tell him what Damien wanted him to do. He dipped his hand in his suitcase, brought out a document, and handed it over to Christiana without saying a word.

"You can go through that and it will give you all the answers to your question "

Christiana gave Damien a suspicious glare before reluctantly looking at the document. She scanned through, reading each word and paragraph carefully, and by the time she got to the middle part of the document, her slightly big eyes protruded in horror and she immediately glared at Damien, who didn't even spare her a glance but was busy with his food.

"What is the meaning of this? " Christiana's anger flared up.

"What nonsense is this?! "

"Jeremy... " Just one call from Damien and Jeremy bowed slightly before standing up.

"The document is clear and simple, Miss Christiana. But I will break it down for you more "

"You see, what you're holding is a contract that has been signed legally by your father, stating that you now belong to Mr. Fernandez. It's a one year contract and in that one year, you are going to do what your job is...

"And that is to bear Mr. Fernandez a child...an heir to be precise. You will fulfill your responsibility as a SURROGATE MOTHER...
