Prologue
* No man is an island. you need people in your life. *
....
In an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city of Austria, a seventeen years old girl was tied hands upwards to a pole in a room, filled with empty cartons of goods.
The girl strived to escape the grips of the tight ropes around her hands, but failed. Nevertheless, she kept on struggling till she had barely any strength left in her, exhausted she fell asleep.
A crick at the door, brought her out of her sleepy state and she froze in fear as three big and burly looking men walked into the room, and slowly began to advance towards her.
They stared at her with a desire she recognized as lust. " She's indeed a beauty. " One of them said, turning to the others. " I bet she's still pure. "
" Definitely. " Another answered with a grin. " Is this why you asked to make a u-turn earlier? " He turned to the older one, who had an obvious scar on the left side of his face.
" Yup. Beauties like her can't be allowed to wander about alone on a lonely street, it is dangerous, you know. " The girl didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his words. Who were the danger if not men like them?
" You are so right, Bro. " The copper red haired man grinned, pleasure written all over his face.
They advanced towards her, before suddenly taking a pause. " Who's going first? "
" I will. " The scar faced man announced, waving them off.
" Oh... " The disappointment on the copper red haired man's face couldn't be hidden. But he obeyed, regardless. Knowing the rules. " If you need anything, Boss. We are a door away. " The third one with an " I love you. " tattoo on his wrirst announced, putting his hand over the red head's shoulder and leading him out.
The girl tightened her fists which were above her head, as the scar faced man advanced towards her with lust filled eyes.
She froze in shock when he touched her face. " You are beautiful and looking so innocent. " he said, caressing her face.
Subconsciously, the girl turned her face away from him in disgust. Her action aggravated the man and his gaze changed from lust to anger.
He grabbed her chin aggressively with so much force that her milky white skin turned red. " Listen here, little bitch. If you refuse to cooperate with me. I'll make sure you never get up. " The girl had no doubt he would if he had a chance. The thought made her shiver in fear.
It was at that point, the girl finally realized the trouble she'd brought upon herself by working idly on six lane's street at 6 in the evening. She should have been more careful, knowing just how unsafe the area was. But who could blame her? She'd been overwhelmed with dozens of emotions lately and needed fresh air.
She never would have thought that her quest for fresh air would lead her to a den of wolves. It's too late for regret now, isn't it?
" Please let me go. " Her pleas fell on deaf ears as his gaze hardened at her words. " Who says I'll let you go, if you plead? " He stared at her amusedly. " Does a sheep escape after entering the den of wolves? "
" I... " Her words were cut shut when her top was suddenly ripped up from her chest, she shivered feeling naked as he drank in the sight of her.
" What beautiful skin you've got. " He reached out to touch her bare stomach which wasn't hidden by the tube she wore. " Don't. " her words came out in a crying tone as she tried wingling herself from his hold.
" Please let me go. " She fought so hard to keep her tears from falling.
" Not another word. " He placed his middle finger on her lips, silencing her.
Frightened by his glare, the girl could only keep her shut as he ordered.
At the moment, she felt helpless and miserable for the first time in a while. Though her life hadn't been all roses and sunshine, she still felt thankful that she had a place to stay and a roof over her head.
As a billionaire's only daughter, she deserved more than that, but all her entitlement were absconded from her when she lost her parents at a tender age of 7. She'd expected her uncle and Aunt to cater for her with the proceeds they gained from her parent's business. How wrong she was!
She ended up in a substandard orphanage where she was treated like an outcast. This continued for years until a change happened.
The educational insurance her Dad had prepared for her and the waitress job, she acquired at age sixteen had been keeping her going.
She'd always pretended it didn't hurt until she saw her Dad's younger brother on TV earlier, being awarded as the owner of the most successful business in the country.
The pain she felt was so raw that she couldn't contain it.
She'd taken a stroll to clear her mind, but who knew.
A tug at her Jean trousers brought her back to reality. Realizing the seriousness of the situation she was in. She sought for a way out and kicked him with all of her strength. " You bitch. " The man was enraged and grabbed two legs with such force that she cried out. " No. "
He tried kissing her, but she ended up sitting him on his cheeks so harshly that he bled. Seeing the blood cascading down his cheeks, the man got so engraged that he slapped her across the face. The force he applied was so great, that the girl saw Stars in front of her.
Making use of the opportunity that she was distracted, he loosened the ropes around her hands and pole. He was about tying her hands when she freed her hands from his grip and stood up. He reached out to grab her when all of a sudden, a knife appeared on her hands.
He wondered where it came from until he realized how stupid he was. " How could he have left a knife on his side pocket knowing the evitable? " he didn't think to remove it as he somehow thought the girl would be a docile type. Who knew?
" Don't come close. " He froze in spot, seeing the deadly gaze in her eyes. " You really think you can escape from my hands, you bitch. " He mocked advancing towards her. " Don't. " Her voice shook, as her confidence failed watching him.
Before she could comprehend what was happening, the knife flew from her hands and she found herself under him. " You think you could escape. " He laughed maniacally. " No one escapes from my hands, no one! "
She watched him throw the knife across the room as he laid his weight on her, making her deflate. " Please let me go. " Her words came out in a whisper as fear invaded her.
" You really think I'll let you go after what you did, Babe? " His breath fawning on her face made her uncomfortable.
Despite hearing the threat in his voice, she struggled to get free but failed as she was no match for him.
She heard the sound of him undoing his belts and she closed her eyes, almost resigning to her faith when she remembered something. " God help me. " as soon as she said that, she recalled something from the self defense videos she'd love binge watching with her best friend.
With all the strength she had left, she pulled up her legs and before the man could comprehend what was going on, He screamed out in pain, holding unto his testicles.
He subsconsciously rolled away from her as the pain gripped him, the girl took this chance and stood up and ran across the room. It was only then she realized how large the room was.
She'd just found the door when she was pinned down again. " No." she screamed out loud as the zip of her jeans was pulled down.
She'd heard about the trauma leaves on his victims. " Will I have to face the same thing? " she wondered, trembling in fear.
At that point, she felt dying was so much better than having to go through this.
She was still struggling to get off him when she spotted the knife, she picked it up when he wasn't looking and stabbed him on his shoulders.
" You bitch! " The man cried out in pain, reaching out for her.
She stood up from beneath him and pulled up her zip.
She held the door handle and was about to open it when the door opened with a bang.
She'd thought her worst fear had come true, only to find a familiar figure at the door. " Jose? " Without doubting a second, she ran into his arms.
The scar faced man recovered and was about grabbing her, when a bullet went into his right leg, paralyzing him.
He'd just raised up his head to realize that the room was surrounded by police officers.
" You are under arrest. " He was still trying to contain his shock, when he was handcuffed and taken away.
The question on his mind was answered, when he met his fellows in the police van also handcuffed as him.
What happened? How come they were arrested? They'd hidden well enough. How?
The girl too found it difficult to comprehend what was going on. How did he find her?
How?
How did he know she was missing, especially now that they weren't close anymore?
If only, she'd known that he'd placed a tracker in the best friend's locket, he'd gifted her two years ago.
The guy crosssed the room and picked up something from the ground, it was only when he handed it to her did she realize it was the best friend's locket she'd always wore.
Silently, He covered her up with his jacket. Lifting her up in his arms, he carried her out of the store room, into the cool evening breeze.
