Andre wiped the blood off his jacket to hide his injury and concealed his gun. Slowly, he walked into the hospital premises. A young woman who appeared to be a doctor caught his attention. He overheard her giving a presentation, which seemed unusual.
Coincidentally, the person she was presenting to asked her what she would do if she encountered a patient who had been shot.He listened intently as she explained her approach, and the person she was presenting to responded, "Good, you're hired." An idea suddenly occurred to him. He wanted to convince her to go with him, but he knew she wouldn't. She seemed so excited, and he didn't think she would want to go with him willingly. Left with no other choice, he decided that he was going to take her by force. He saw her rushing out to the gate and slowly walked towards her. He pointed his gun at her and said, "Don't move." When she saw him, she gasped in fear and wanted to scream, but he cocked his gun and said, "One word from you and you will die right in front of me.""Please don't kill me," she begged. "Please, I'm begging you.""I will not kill you. Just do what I want and I will let you live.""What do you want?" she asked."I am bleeding, I have been shot," he replied. "I need you to treat me.""Okay then, let's go into the hospital. I will treat you.""No, we're not doing that. You are coming with me.""But please I.....""I don't have much time, move."She began to walk slowly as her hand shivered. He opened the door of his car and said, "Get in."She looked at him, "But I'm not really good at driving.""I'm not asking you to drive. Move to the other side."The moment she moved to the other side, he got into the driver's seat, closed the door, and locked it. He began to drive with one hand while pointing his gun at her with his other hand."Please," she begged him. "I just got this job. I have wanted it all my life. Please don't ruin it for me.""Shut the hell up," he warned. He took off his jacket and said, "Look at my wound. I am bleeding. Since you're good at treating gunshot wounds, all I need you to do is treat this for me. Don't worry. Once I get better, no matter which hospital you want to work in, I will make your dreams come true?""What is your name?""Valerie," she replied."Be a good girl, Valerie. You don't want to die, right?"She nodded."How old are you?""I am twenty-two," she replied."Not bad. It means you know what you're doing. Now listen, there are some bad men coming after me, and I do not have much time left. Save my life and you will walk away free and unscathed.""Okay, I will save your life, I promise," she said. "Good," he replied. He kept driving and when they got to a traffic light, she tried to look through the transparent window.Although it was wound up, she could see some officers. She thought about calling for help, but Andre, pointing a gun at her, suddenly pressed it against her ribs and warned, "Don't even think about it. If you raise an alarm, they will kill me or stop me, but you will also die. I will make sure I put three bullets into you, and no one will save you. I think being a doctor, you should understand the implication of that.""No, I'm not going to raise an alarm. I was just looking," she replied nervously."Good," he said. When the traffic lights turned green, he continued driving. They kept going until they finally arrived at their destination. He checked the time and realized it had been over an hour. He didn't know if they were still being followed or if they would be discovered, but he couldn't leave the car there. It was too risky.He got out of the car, went to the other side, and pointed the gun at her. At this point, he was feeling dizzy, and his hands were trembling. "Move, don't try anything funny. If you do, I'm going to kill you.""Please don't point the gun at me," she begged. "I will do whatever you want."She started moving in the direction he indicated. After a while, he shot at the vehicle until it burst into flames. She stared at the burning car in shock, "Why did you do that? How am I supposed to go back now?""Don't worry. As long as you save me, you will go back alive," he reassured her.She nodded, and he kept the gun pointed at her as they proceeded. When they reached the entrance, she noticed it was made of hard metal and one could easily mistake it for a warehouse.He entered a password, and the door opened. "Get in," he instructed. She complied, and he followed suit. They continued down what seemed like a hallway until they reached another door. He entered another password, making sure she couldn't see, and the second door opened."Get in," he commanded again and she entered the room.The moment they entered and the door closed, Andre collapsed on the floor. The gun slipped from his hand, and she quickly picked it up and pointed it at him. He laughed weakly, "You don't know how to use that. Listen to me, Valerie. If I die here, you're going to be trapped in this place for the rest of your life. I am the only one who can open this door. It cannot be opened from the outside by anyone else. Also, if you're thinking you can call someone for help, there is no signal or means to connect with the outside world. It is in your best interest to save my life, otherwise, you will be trapped here, and you will die with me. So, what is it going to be, Valerie?"EARLIER IN THE DAYValerie woke up in the morning and looked at the time. Today was the day she had been waiting for—the day the result of her interview would arrive. She got up and met her elder brother, Julius, who was in the living room."Good morning, Julius," she greeted him."Morning, darling," he replied.She sat on the couch sadly. "What is the problem?" he asked."Well, the result will be coming in today. I'm just so anxious and afraid," Valerie explained."Why? Come on, you graduated as one of the best in your college. Besides, you aced your interview," Julius reassured her."That's what they said," Valerie replied, "but I heard that people who get jobs in that hospital are highly connected. Although it has always been my dream to work at 'Best Diagnostics', I'm afraid it's not just about qualifications and skills."Julius comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, listen to me, my dear sister. Just do your best and everything will work out in your favor.""I hope so," Valerie rep
Valerie looked at the letter that was sent to her and walked into the hospital. Just as she was approaching the door, she saw the director coming out and stared at him in surprise. "Oh, Director Knorr, he has the power to hire me." An idea came to her head, and she ran to him, saying, "Good morning, sir. Please excuse me, sir. Can I speak to you?""Yes, what can I do for you?" he asked."Emmmm... actually, I just graduated from medical school, and I applied for a job in..." Valerie began."Oh, please, no, I can't do this right now. I'm in a hurry," the director interrupted, gently pushing her out of the way."Please sir," I won't take much of your time," Valerie promised.He said, "I cannot do this right now, young lady. Are you not listening to me?" "Please, just listen to me," she insisted "I'm begging you, I won't take much of your time." "What is your name?" he asked. "My name is Valerie.""Valerie, move out of my way or I'll have security throw you out." Valerie partially wen
Valerie's hand shook as she held the gun. It was true that she had never shot at anyone before, but she knew how to use a gun and she would not hesitate to do it. She wasn't weak like Andre thought; she had struggled so hard to get to where she was, and she wasn't going to let him ruin that for her. From what he had said, she couldn't take any chances. If she were trapped in there, her life would be ruined forever. What about her brother Julius? He would be devastated without her since she was his world. At his age, he had never pursued a romantic relationship because he wanted to spend all his time taking care of her. No, she needed to make it out. How could she trust Andre to keep his word?"How can I trust you to keep your word?" She asked. "I mean, you kidnapped me and forcefully brought me here. For crying out loud, I finally got my dream job, and now you want to ruin my life. How can I trust that you will let me go when you get better? For all you know, you can just kill me.
Valerie's eyes widened in surprise when nothing happened to Andre. She tried shooting him three more times but realized there were no bullets in the gun. Frustrated, she threw the gun on the floor. Andre smiled and said, "Wow! I can't believe I brought you here to save my life, and you want to kill me? You will certainly be punished for this.""But you promised me," she cried. "You promised to let me go. You're such a coward and a wild animal. You deserve to die, Andre. You should have bled to death and never come in front of me. Why did you have to appear before me and ruin my life?"Andre pointed his gun at her, and she closed her mouth in shock. "Well, unlike what you were holding, this gun is fully loaded with bullets. How dare you speak to me in such a rude way? Valerie, you do not know who I am and what I am capable of doing. For the mistake you have made today, I will not let you go. Maybe sometime in the future, when I get sick of seeing your face, I can finally kick you ou
Valerie's brother, Julius, tried calling her number but couldn't get through. He continued trying throughout the day, even during his work and classes. When he was done, he decided to go to the hospital where Valerie was supposed to start her new job. Upon arrival, he described her to the staff, explaining that he had dropped her off there previously for a job interview, but hadn't been able to reach her since then.After hearing Valerie's name, a man confirmed that they had seen her and she had indeed been hired for the job. However, she had left and gone home, and he hadn't seen her since then. Julius found this strange since he knew Valerie well. If she had gotten the job, she would have returned promptly with the necessary documents. If given the chance, she would have even started working that day. Julius couldn't comprehend why she would go back home and not return. Something must be wrong, he thought. Where could she be?Deciding to check their home again, Julius rushed back,
Valerie walked to the kitchen naked, while Andre kept pointing his gun at her. When she reached the kitchen, she began to cook while he stood at the door watching her. Tears fell from her eyes, and she kept crying. She felt humiliated being forced to cook while she was naked. Seeing her condition made Andre uncomfortable. "I should be happy that she's miserable," he thought to himself. "But why not? Why do I feel worried about her countenance after everything she did to me?" Unable to bear seeing her that way anymore, he walked away. He went into her room and picked up the clothes she had dropped on the bed.He came back and threw the clothes at her. "Here, put on these clothes and stop acting like a child whose candy was taken away from her." She glared at him before wearing the clothes. Afterward, she continued cooking.He left and went out to sit at the dining table, waiting for her to serve the food. When she was done cooking, she dished the food onto a plate, brought it to t
Valerie got up and glared at Andre."You know what? I should have left you to die. You do not deserve any mercy, bastard." After that, she stomped her foot and walked into her room. As she left, he shook his head and smiled. He got up and began to walk into his room, where he intended to make the phone call.While she was inside her room, Valarie thought about her words and said, "No, I need the signal. I need to be able to call my brother. I should swallow my pride no matter what he says. I shouldn't replyI need to stick around him. Yes, this is the best thing to do." The moment she came out of her room, she realized that he had gone into his. She moved closer to the door and heard his voice. She realized that he was speaking to someone and moved closer to listen to his conversation. He seemed to be talking to himself from what she heard. After a while, she heard him dialing a number. "Is he about to make a phone call?" she wondered. There must be a signal box in this house. Righ
Andre smiled at Valerie, "Really? Payback? Well, unlike you, I don't know how to beg.""In that case, get ready to die of hunger." She replied. As she began to walk into the kitchen, Andre knew that she would only make food for herself, as he has come to understand that she was stubborn and not very easy to control."Wait, fine. I don't even know what sort of doctor you are. You're so hard-hearted.""I don't think you're serious about begging me," she said. "Just forget about it and let your pride fill your belly, Andre."She still wanted to walk into the kitchen, but he said, "Hold on. You know the foodstuffs in that kitchen were bought by me. Everything in there belongs to me. You're cooking my food and still planning on starving me?"Valerie rolled her eyes, "It's not as if I lack food in my house. I never asked you to bring me here in the first place. Or were you planning to keep me here withing making foodstuffs available for me? If you're not going to beg, you can forget about e
