26: A blank deal
publish date:
2020-10-31 06:15:40I stared at the plush golden bed I was lying on before rolling off of it. My feet landed on the expensive looking rug and I wiggled my toes in it. I shouldn't be feeling comfortable seeing I was beach-napped and all but the environment was friendly.
A bowl of fruit sat on the oversized center table and the dim light from the side light illuminated the room reminding me I was napped yesterday and rushed into a boat with bustly looking men.
I stared at the comfortable khaki dress placed by the corner and red flip-flops. Why would a kidnapper be all caring to even provide me nice clothes.
My blue dinner gown from yesterday was ruffled up and now feeling uncomfortable as the bead poked my skin in an annoying way, so I decided to take it off and slip into the Khaki.
Last night while I was walking by the beach, two men in black approached me. I tried screaming but no one was around to hear me even. They shut me in this room since last night so I had no choice but to sleep.
****
The door to the room opened and one of the men from last night came in with a tray of breakfast. He looked at me clutched to the side of the bed, rubbing my tummy before sitting on the chair opposite me.
"What is the meaning of this? I demand to go home right now" I said not caring I sounded like a twelve years old. I'm freaking out but the man didn't give off killer vibes. He seemed a bit relaxed.
"Jaycee, is it not" he hummed.
"Who are you and what do you want?" I questioned. His brows shot up.
"My name is Khan" he said. "I need you to sign a document" he produced a file from under the tray and I trained my eyes on it.
Does this have to do with my dad being framed or someone stealing from Damien? I stared at the file. "What's in it?"
"You don't have to know. Just sign it" he seethed from between his teeth.
"I won't sign it if I don't read what's in it" I glared at him. He relaxed into the comfortable looking chair.
"Let's rephrase this. We're on a boat sailing to nowhere exactly and escaping from here is not an option. You may try but we're surrounded by water and no one is coming for you"
"Damien will find you" I threatened.
"He's on land and has no idea where you are. The last place to check would be on a boat sailing at sea" Khan smiled wryly and I wanted to throw up. I rubbed my tummy aggressively and his eyes darted to my tummy.
"You're pregnant and don't need all these stress. Save yourself the trouble and sign the document" he said pushing the paper to me and dropping a pen on it.
I stared at the document. Placing a pen on this paper could have a terrible effect on Damien. Whatever it is that I'm signing, it's got to be putting someone at risk. I glared at the man and he grinned.
His phone rang and he jerked up to pick it. "Yes?" Came his gruffy voice.
"Not yet. But she will sign it" he said into the phone but his stare was directly at me. I won't sign it. I don't care what he has to do but I'm not signing the paper. He shove his phone into his pocket and frowned at me so I decided to while away with time.
"Who sent you? Who are you working for?" I asked him. "Tell me. If your being framed I can help with...."
"Just shut up and sign the damn papers" he sneered and I felt bumps crawl over my skin. He stalked out of the room and shut the door behind him.
I scurried to the paper and opened it but it was blank save for the place where I was to sign which said: Signature only.
***
The voices of men passing by the door made me jerk from my sleep. The room still illuminated that soft glow. The empty plate from the breakfast given to me was gone and replaced with what looked like lunch.
I walked to the table. Prawn chilli and lime soup with barbecued sea bass sat on the tray. I shouldn't be eating anything they give me but when I see the food, my stomach makes growly noises, so I eat. Plus I can't be stubborn about not eating cause I'm pregnant.
I cleared the plate off, drank the water that was set by the tray and stood up. I tiptoed to the door to see it was opened so I popped my head through the door. The corridor was empty so I shut the door behind me and crept for the only sign of sunlight. It was leading to the boat deck so I followed the ladder up.
I had to screw my eyes shut for some time seeing as I haven't seen sun in hours and I'd been locked in a dim lighted room.
The deck was empty but two men and a lady sat by a bench by the side of the far end of the boat talking. I finally climbed off completely.
We were indeed on a boat and no sign of land was in sight. The boat was like a floating island lost on sea. My eyes darted round for any sign of a spare cannoe. Some big boats like this have one. I spotted one on an iron rail but loosing it and setting it on the water won't go unnoticed by the men.
Trying to escape didn't seem like a stupid idea but when a gun was pointed at me by Khan to stop, I wishes I'd remained in the room brooding.

Way To Forever 37: Cramp the games
The sun was already going down and I've given Damien many kisses than I can count. We didn't only golf but barbecued. Rose came over and helped us with steaks. We found a shady spot with a wooden table and trunks like stools round the table. It looked man-made though but it was pretty."Thanks for the steaks, Rose"Rose smiled at me and nodded before going back to the grill. Everyone was much too hungry after the games to even talk. Chloe of all people was stuffing her face with potatoes and steak at the same time."We should do this every weekday Dammy" Elle said. I cringed at the name she called him because once upon a time, Bethany had called him that and it annoyed the hell out of me. Still annoys me."Are you planing to stay here much longer?" Damien frowned and I hit his leg under the table. He stared at me and I mouthed be nice. He rolled his eyes at me and dug his fork into his steak.
Way To Forever 36: Let's golf it up
Danielle hit the ball so hard, we couldn't find where it flew to. It's a warm Wednesday and we're both playing golf and bonding over food and makeup."Do you think it ran into the trees?" Elle asked. She bent down and picked another golf ball."Guess so"I placed my hand to shield my eyes from the sun. Elle had told me to take a cap with him but I'd blantanly refused. I thought it'd be weird wearing a summer dress, tennis shoes and a cap. Oh and let me not fail to mention that I'm pregnant. Now I see she had a point."Do you hear that?" I asked Elle.There was a humming sound coming toward us. Like a truck but it didn't have that rugged sound. Elle dropped her ball down next to a hole and gave it a tiny tud. The ball rolled slowly along the well trimmed grass until it entered into the hole.I clapped my hands as Elle jumped up and down. That's her first win today.
Way To Forever 35: Bonding with Danielle
Coming to the house Damien bought for us over a month ago again felt like coming into a totally different place. The place was transformed and looked pretty. Fortunately for me, Damien didn't change anything about the interior of the sitting room because I'd loved the modern yet vintage setting.And of course, I didn't fail to notice the double security Damien put up. Since the house was by the water side, I think he has this idea that I might be kidnapped again by water and all that shit. I don't even know all the crazy stuffs that go through that guys head. He thinks I'm a baby that need pampering!"Would you like a feet massage before Mr Forrest get back from work?" The plump lady in front of me asked. She's not Rose. This house has more maids than I could ever imagine. So Rose is like the head of them all. AND NO!....."I don't need a foot massage!" I state with a loud and clear voice, hoping sh
Way To Forever 34: It's all her
The moment we stepped back into the ballroom, Bethany's eyes zeroed on me and I gave her a little, tight smirk. She rolled her eyes and looked away. Haha sucker! Damien pulled out my seat and then excused himself. I was left with Bethany and some others at the table.I wish I had brought my phone so I didn't have to stare at her stupid face all the time. I dragged my hands over my tummy as the blonde by my side smiled at me. I smiled at her. She wasn't here before so I guess she just arrived."Hello. I guess your here with Damien" she said and I nodded."He's my husband" I smiled and she chuckled."Why, it's nice to meet you" her voice sounded English. Her thick accent also complimented her tight blonde bun and black Versache gown. I bet she has a black or silver sandal to go with it. Her eyes were also masked with thick mascara and smoky eyes. She's pretty and I'll hate to think she was one of Da
Way To Forever 33: All that matters
As I sat in the Limo, I tried not to remember the last time I and Damien were together in this same Limo. I had gone over myself that night.Damien squeezed my hands and I stared up at him. There's no telling what would transpire at this event. We might meet Alberto and we might not meet him. We might find out that he was the one who sent those kidnappers and we might learn that he's not the one. And even if he told us what we needed to know, how would we know that he was telling the truth??."Just remember to smile always and if you feel nauseous or sick at any moment, just tell me and I'd get you out of there" Damien went over the note of the night."Alright. You've told me that like seventy times now" I sighed and he chuckled.."I just want you to be happy and safe at the same time."The Limo came to a stop and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. This wasn't one of chloes fa
Way To Forever 32: A charity ball
I woke up with movement above me. I opened one eye slowly so I don't go blind from the brightness of the room. Damien smiled when he saw I was awake."Good morning, beautiful" he hummed and then planted a kiss to my lips. "I made you breakfast""Hmm...I like the sound of that" I grinned."Sure you do. Come" he took my hand and helped me seat up. I relax against the head board and he fetched a tray of what smelled like chocolate chilli tart. There was a rose by the side ."Damien. You're incredible" I brushed my nose against his. "I love you""I love you. Now eat before I loose my patience" he smirked."Pervert!" I called out and he shrugged. I found myself digging into the tarte and boy, was it good. Yes it was. I dipped my finger into the Marple syrup by the side and stuck it in front of Damien."Have a syrup" I teased."Are you kidding m
