Chapter 7

Mirabel's POV

I woke up in the middle of an unfamiliar room, lying on the cold floor. I sat up and looked around nervously, I looked around but couldn't find a single soul with me. I stayed in the same uncomfortable position for some time, looking around the strange room

in a panic I didn't know what to do. I tried to move but realized that my hands and feet were tied. Thoughts of what happened came rushing in, I remembered her nose being covered with a cloth from behind.

Mirabel looked around once again, 'Where am I?' Her thoughts were interrupted when the door was suddenly opened, a man walked in with two other men trailing behind him.

Mirabel couldn't see their faces clearly, but she knew they were no good guys, she tried to think hard if she wronged anyone recently, but no, she didn't, then why was she kidnapped?

The first man came close to her and squatted in front of her.

"Tsk... You are a beautiful lady, indeed" the first man said. "Who are you? Please let me go" Mirabel said but she got no response.

He brought his phone from his pocket and dialed a number, the call wasn't answered the first time, so he dialed again, this time putting the call on loudspeaker.

"Hello," a meek lady's voice was heard from the other side.

"What should we do with her? We have her here with us" the first man said.

An evil but short laughter was heard, Mirabel squinted her eyes when she realized a female had requested for her to be kidnapped. Mirabel tried to think if she had hurt any one of recent... But no, she wasn't the type to cause trouble.

"I'll give you the remaining balance after the job is completed" The lady's voice was heard again.

'Job? What are they trying to do?' Mirabel thought to herself.

"Ohh... And don't forget this, make sure to take a lot of pictures" the voice from the other side of the call said before the call was disconnected.

"Take care of her and make sure you finish the job clean". The first man said and walked out of the room.

The other two walked closer to her, they were both huge and with spooky looks on their faces.

The second man rubbed his hands on her cheeks.

" We'll be careful, don't worry my dear," The second man said with a smile that looked like a hyena that caught its prey after a long run.

Mirabel felt like needles were used to poke her body, she didn't like the way his hands were roaming around her face, it felt disgusting, "Let me go please," she said again pleadingly.

"We'll do that but we have a job to complete to complete first," the second man said with a wolfish grin.

The third man stood there gazing deeply at Mirabel's fair neck, down to her collar bones.

Mirabel didn't feel okay with the way they were staring at her, tears trickled down her face.

"Please"

She said with tears flowing down from her eyes.

"No one is here to help you, and pleading wouldn't be the best option," the third man said.

The third man started roaming his hands over her body, Mirabel felt creepy all over her, she didn't wrong anybody to deserve this.

The second man kept on touching her face, from her eyes down to her nose, he slowly moved his hands to touch her luscious lips.

Mirabel bit his hands tightly like she wanted to rip them off.

Pahhh~~

He slapped her heavily. He looked so furious, "Seems like you don't want to make things easier," the second man said and tore off the right-hand sleeve of her dress, after that, he went ahead and tore the neckline of her dress.

Heavy tears flowed down Mirabel's eyes, she felt naked all over, and she slowly began to lose consciousness after he slapped her.

The effect of the drug used to cover her nose was still there.

'No, I must stay awake' She tried hard not to shut her eyes as she could still feel their hands roaming over her body but she couldn't stay up.

Slowly everything became pitch black, she heard a loud sound before she lost consciousness, the door was abruptly banged open with force, and she heard footsteps.

"Who are... Ahhh" was all she heard before she fainted. He rushed up to her side and hugged her tightly using his coat to cover her body, he saw the bruises on her face, and the temperature of the room suddenly changed.

****

Earlier~

Axel was in his office going through some files when suddenly he received a call from John.

From the day Mirabel left his house, he had ordered John to keep watch of all her activities, every single thing she does.

But the call today made him angry and scared so he rushed out of his office. John had reported seeing her kidnapped and dragged to a dark alley, from then he quickly made a call to Axel, and they rushed to the destination alongside trained bodyguards of Axel.

****

Presently~~

Axel turned his gaze to the two men, who now lay lifelessly on the floor after being beaten up by the guards. They had the guts to do this to her, her clothes were torn and there were bruises on her white pale skin. Axel was so furious.

He stood up and carried the unconscious Mirabel in his arms.

"Don't spare them" Axel said before walking out of the room. Of course, John understood his orders, he shouldn't let them free easily by killing them, and they would be tortured till they plead for death.

"Take three of them to the basement", John ordered the bodyguards dressed in black and white in the room.

Axel carried her towards his car, Enoch opened the car door immediately he saw his boss coming out of the abandoned building. Axel sat in the car with Mirabel still in his arms.

Screech ~ the car drove off.

John came out of the building, he saw the man who seemed to be the boss amongst them laying on the floor. They met him smoking outside when they arrived a few minutes ago, he was knocked out easily before they headed in.

"Take all of them, including this to the basement," John said glaring deeply at the man on the floor.

When he was first ordered to watch over the lady he didn't understand why, but after seeing everything that happened, he came to understand that his boss was interested in the young lady.

For the first time, he saw how panicked his boss could be.

The kidnappers were surely done for, they messed with the wrong person, and Axel wasn't going to take things easy on them. They would be tortured slowly till they pleaded for death.
