Chapter 01— Kidnapped

*EMMA*

"Emma, please say yes to marrying me, we want this, our parents want this please so I see why not" Jake begged, trapping my face between his hands while slightly brushing his lips against mine. I do love him more than anything but I couldn't help but hesitate, I felt pressured.

Jake would never hurt me, I mean he's a great guy and he wants me as much as I wanted him. This would be the second time he was proposing to me. The first time, I had a pretty solid excuse but this time around I couldn't think of any reason why I shouldn't marry him yet something in me was hesitating. I took a deep breath before stepping away from him, pain flashing across his eyes as he stared at me.

"I love you Jake, you know I do but I feel like we are rushing things. What's the hurry? We are both still young and...." I trailed off, looking at him curiously for some explanation.

"I'm tired of waiting Emma, I want you to be mine in every way there is. You said you love me, is that true?" He asked, making me wonder what he was getting at.

"I can't believe you are doubting me" I frowned slightly, resisting the urge to roll my eyes at him. I brushed my long hair away from my face, a reminder that I needed a haircut. While I love my hair long, silky, smooth and straight, Jake doesn't.

"Prove it then" He urged, reaching for my hand and then placing it on his chest where his heart was beating strongly. I briefly closed my eyes, pushing back the hesitation. Why was I so afraid to say yes? Why do I feel like I'm betraying someone? I looked up at him and he was staring back at me with a hopeful look on his face as he waited for me to give him an answer.

"Yes," I finally said after a huge pause.

Uncaring about where we were or who was watching, he scooped me up and then spun me around. I put my arms around his neck, smiling at his reaction. Suddenly, everything felt off. Goosebumps spread across my body and I tensed, nervously looking around. Everyone at the park was minding their business and having fun but yet, I felt like I was being watched.

Jake must have noticed the change of mood because he stopped spinning me around and set me down on my feet. I forced a smile, assuring him that I was fine. I have nothing to worry about! I thought to myself.

"I can't wait to be yours Jacob Xavier" I said moving closer for a kiss.

* A WEEK LATER*

One could say my marriage was a gunshot because a week later, Jake and I are set to marry. I wondered why we were in such a hurry to get married but recalling his words when he proposed to me a week ago, I couldn't help but smile. Today is my big day and I plan to enjoy it.

"You look every inch of a bride" My cousin Katie grinned, she also happens to be my best friend and my maid of honour.

I blushed. "How could I not? I have been waiting for this day forever" I replied, adjusting my veil.

"You are one lucky girl, I'm so happy for you" She giggles, giving me a quick hug. A trumpet sound filled the air indicating it was time for me to leave for the church. My parents stepped into the room looking like the iconic couple they were and as every rich parent should look. They each hugged me and then ushered me out of the house to the waiting car.

The drive to the church was a short one, after I was helped out of the car, I was suddenly nervous, Katie noticed it and grinned at me. "It happens," She said.

"How do you know? You've never been married" I rolled my eyes at her playfully.

"I just know stuff" She shrugged her shoulders then stepped aside as my Dad reached forward to take my arm. I smiled up at him and he grinned back.

"I'm proud of you" He whispered with a proud fatherly smile.

I briefly put my head on his shoulder as the door of the church opened and we began the short trip down the aisle. Jake looked so handsome standing beside the priest waiting for me, when I got to his side, my Dad placed my hand in his, then said something, I wasn't paying attention because my attention was on the tall masculine guy who just walked in, he looked so out of place and Jake was frowning at him in confusion.

Three more guys walk into the church, everyone started whispering wondering who the guest are, I couldn't tear myself away from the first guy as he approached me, I was nervous and scared to death which was stupid cause I have never met him in my life, his eyes were dark with a hint blue, I have never seen eyes like that in my life. and they were staring at me, calling me in.

I gasped, taking a step back as he extended his hand for me to take.

"Who the fuck are you dude!" Jake yelled.

"I'm Jet" There was something about the way he introduced himself that made me shiver, maybe it was because of the dark authoritative voice he used.

"Then what the fuck is your business here? If you are here for the wedding then stay in the fucking crowd" Jake barked at him, looking dangerous at that moment.

They both glared at each other for what seemed like forever until I cleared my throat, breaking the tension. "What...Is...Going...On?" I stammered on the verge of tears.

His gaze softened when he looked at me. "Mine," He said in a dazed voice.

I froze. I wanted to run but my body couldn't move, it was as if my body was glued to the spot. Who was this guy? And what does he want with me? He approached me but Jake stopped him by stepping in front of me. Obviously not impressed with this action, the mysterious man punched Jake so hard, it sent him flying across the room.

"No one stands between me and what's mine!" He snarled at him.

Everyone from the crowd screamed and made a run for the door. My parents were shocked, I could see the fear on their faces, and they took a step away from me.

I look around watching as people scatter about the place looking for the nearest entrance, Jake's men run in but we're held back by the Jet's men. By now, even the priest was nowhere to be seen. I glared at the stranger.  "Who are you and what do you want!" I demanded again, raising my voice this time.

"You" He replied as his beautiful lips curve into a smirk.

Why the hell was I even staring at his lips? This guy fucking ruined my wedding. "Me? Why?" I asked angrily.

"You belong to me" Then he turned to his friend, okay I don't know if they are but I honestly do not care. "Let us go" He turned around to leave.

I stared at him, totally bewildered. Is this some kind of sick joke someone thought would be funny? I didn't have much time to process what was going on when I was suddenly lifted and flung over a strong shoulder.

I let out a fearful scream as I was being carried out. "Help!" My struggles were fruitless, the man carrying me was far too strong and didn't even seem affected by my struggles. With my heart beating loudly with fear, I took one last look at my fiance who was struggling to get up, only to collapse back  on the ground.

Who are these men and where are they taking me to?
