Chapter 6 He found her.

Natasha furrowed her brows. “What's wrong?” 

“Natasha, you made a big mistake on your research. I just found out that there's only one Mr. Darkmoon and that is Alexander Darkmoon. Jackson Darkmoon is a fictional character from a novel and he doesn't exist in real life.” 

“What?” Natasha's body froze.

“Natasha, you have to run, now!” Tiana pleaded. 

“Wait,” Natasha paused, her body already shaking. “Do you mean I…I stole from…Alexander Darkmoon?” She asked, her voice about to disappear.

“Yes Natasha. I just did a research after a neighbor called me just now and said she saw a fleet of black cars pulling up in front of our apartment. She talked with the armed men who came out from the car and they said they came looking for you. But she told them you left home and haven't returned so they left. Natasha, you need to find somewhere and hide. Alexander Darkmoon is looking for you.” 

Natasha inhaled sharply as she scanned her environment. “How could this be? But the image I found on the internet about Jackson Darkmoon looks exactly like the one I stole a ring from.” 

“Jackson Darkmoon is a fictional character of Alexander Darkmoon. I just found the novel and the novel also states that Jackson has a multi-million dollars ring like Alexander. At the end of the novel, the writer stated that the story and image are about Alexander Darkmoon but they only changed the name from Alexander to Jackson.” 

Natasha's hand shook as she struggled to keep her phone up. “What do I do?”

“Since you've paid your sister's hospital bills already, quickly lodge in a not well-known hotel. Don't come out. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll bring it to you, ok?”

“O…ok.” Natasha replied. She was already trembling from fear. Alexander Darkmoon! She just made the biggest mistake of her life. 

Natasha hurried out of the vicinity of the hospital. She checked her map for the closet not well-known hotel around her. Her hands shook as she opt for a quick reservation on their site. 

In the back seat of the taxi, Natasha was lost in thoughts. This can't be happening. She stole from Alexander Darkmoon and also gave her first time to him. What is he going to do to her? How did he find out about her? 

Due to the crowd of people around the area, the taxi had to stop some meters away from the hotel she booked. Natasha paid the driver and alighted down. She hurried pass the flood of people on the street, bumping into some of them and muttering apologies. 

She twisted her body and was about to pass through a small space between two people, only for her to accidentally knock down a woman's tray that's filled with grains. The contents on the tray were now scattered across the street. 

The woman immediately launched at her. 

“Are you blind? Girls like you who are supposed to be in school are here wandering around the street. Who's going to pay for my grains?” 

“I'm sorry ma'am. It was a mistake. Can I have your bank account so I can transfer the money for you…?” Natasha was running out of time. The hotel was still some walks away and she needed to get there quick. 

“Look at you. So because you have money, you purposely knocked down my tray so you could ask for my bank account and show off that you have money, right?” The woman ranted. 

“No…I.” 

“What's happening here?” A man asked as he approached them. 

Natasha turned to explain but the woman had already started ranting to him. 

Not far away, three black cars parked along the road, observing the scene in front of them. 

“Contact the boss. Tell him we have found her.” The man at the back said as he opened the door and stepped out of the car. 

Two men alighted from the cars behind, fully dressed in black. Their faces were covered, making them more mysterious. The people on the streets moved out of the way as they approached the scene. 

“She must pay me double the amount for her arrogance. Just because she's leaving a good life, does that mean she'll be mean to us who are living on the street and trying to make a living for ourselves…” 

The woman paused as a hand covered in black gloves stretched a bank card towards her. Natasha and the woman turned at the same time to see three muscular men dressed in black standing behind them. 

“We apologize for the trouble she caused. The money in the card is more than enough to cover up for damages. If you'll excuse her, she has somewhere to be right now.” The man said and the two men behind him walked forward, grabbing Natasha's hands. 

Natasha's body stiffened as she felt two strong hands grab her. “Let go of me!” She struggled, trying to free herself from their grasp. 

No, how did they find her so quick? Was there like some sort of tracker on her body? She knows she's doomed if she allow these men take her away. 

“Ma'am, do co-operate with us as reluctancy can lead to us using physical means to make you co-operate.” The man stated calmly. 

Natasha's body shook at the realization of how big of a trouble this matter had become. Worse of all, she had already sold the ring and spent more than half of the money to pay her debts and pay Elina's future medical bills. If she allow them take her, where will she get the money to pay back? They looked intimidating but she's certainly not going down without a fight. 

Just as Natasha was about to fight the men holding her, she felt two fingers hit a spot on her neck and her consciousness faded. 

One of them threw her on his shoulder and carried her back to the car. He placed her in the back seat and they all got into their car before zooming off. The tyres of their car raising dust and leaving behind curious passerbys on the street.
