I was still in a kind of sleepy state when I felt myself being carried away from the car. I was in someone's arms and I felt oddly comfortable in the warmth of it.
I heard a door being unlocked and a cold air hit my body, making me shiver. The person held me closer to his body.
He gently put me down on the floor and that's when I finally opened my eyes. "Casper?" It was him.
He gave me a small smile and started tieing my chains with a blank look on his face.
This room had a better lighting and it was less smelly than the last one. There wasn't a bed here, though it would have been unnecessary anyway.
I don't know where in the world I am and what's about to happen to me. All I know is, that I am somewhere on the other side of the country and my family knows who has kidnapped me.
My family. They turned from my friends to my family so unexpectedly.
After he was done, Casper gave one last look at me and left the room.
*****
It was twilight when the door opened and someone walked in.
I had expected to see Casper but instead, it was a tall, dark haired man who looked fairly handsome.
Just saying.
The vibes coming from him weren't very positive. He smelled like alcohol and cigarettes.
A very disgusting combination.
I scooted away from him farther into the corner of the room. He smirked and kept walking towards me.
"It's good to finally meet you, Jennifer." He had a deep, menacing voice.
"Wish I could have said the same for you, mystery man." I said and hugged my knees.
Can you keep yourself shut?!
I'll try.
He chuckled and bent down in front of me. He traced his hand from my shoulder down my forearm.
I felt so incredibly disgusted.
"Keep your filthy hands away." I spat out.
"My hands aren't filthy. Yet." He smirked.
I zipped my mouth. What does that mean?
"Scared already? I haven't even done anything yet." He eyed my body like a hungry predator.
My eyes filled with tears, threatening to spill any moment.
He took out his belt and my eyes widened. I hugged myself tightly, eyes fixed on the belt in his hand.
"Well Jennifer, I am Marcus. Your brother and boyfriend along with the other two already know me pretty well." He slowly started pacing back and forth in front of me.
"H-How do they know you?" I stuttered out.
"They used to work for me." He hit the belt on the floor making me flinch.
Oh. So this is the mafia they all used to work for.
They had taken Celine!
So what do they want from me?
He stood right in front of me, giving me a deathly look and I gulped. He swinged the belt in the air before it hit me with full force.
I screamed the most bloodcurdling scream possible by my throat.
Tears were flowing down my face repeatedly like a broken dam as I kept screaming and begging him to stop.
The monster just laughed at my face.
"STOP!" Someone barged inside the room as he was about to hit me again.
From my blurry vision, due to the tears, I could see Casper breathing heavily, as if he just ran a marathon.
He looked at me and froze. I was a bloody and bruised mess curled up in a ball in the corner of the room, crying my eyes out as I whimpered in pain.
"Jennifer?" Casper whispered in shock.
"What are you doing here?!" Marcus yelled, eyes reflecting annoyance.
"I GET TO ASK YOU THAT QUESTION! WHY ARE YOU HERE AND WHY ARE YOU HITTING HER?! YOU SAID IT WAS MY JOB!" Casper yelled and snatched the belt away from Marcus.
"Are you forgetting who you're talking to here, son?" Marcus glared at Casper who looked away.
"Son?" I whispered in disbelief.
"Jennifer, I-"
"He's my son." Marcus interrupted and smirked at Casper.
What?! This couldn't have gotten any better.
I looked away from Casper.
He's so sweet. He's nothing like his monster of a father.
He wouldn't hurt me, right?
"You are not my father. YOU'RE DEAD TO ME, MARCUS!" Casper yelled, earning a hard slap on his cheek.
"You've grown some balls, talking to me like that haven't you?!" Marcus spat out.
"Let's see then." He turned him towards me.
"You're right. It's your job to torture her, not mine. So do it." Marcus sneered.
Casper's eyes widened. "What?!"
"Hit her, Casper." Marcus said.
"I won't." Casper said with a stern voice. "I will never hit a girl, ever."
"I knew you were weak but I never imagined you to be this weak, you worthless piece of shit!"
"If you think that hitting a girl makes me stronger, then yes. You're right. I am weak." Casper spat out and threw the belt away.
Marcus smirked. "Fine then. If you don't hit her, someone else will have to be, in her place." Marcus picked up the belt and started walking out of the room.
"Wait! W-who?"
"The only lovely woman in my life. Your mother, Casper." Marcus chuckled while Casper froze.
"No. You will not do anything to her." Casper's voice wavered.
"If you don't want me to do anything to your sweet mother, then you know what to do." Marcus nodded at me.
Casper seemed to be in a turmoil inside his head. A tear slipped down his cheek as he finally took the belt out of Marcus's hand and turned to me.
I looked away from him, embracing myself for the torture. I don't blame him. Who would have let their mother get beaten by a mentally sick man?
"I am sorry... Jennifer. Forgive me." Casper whispered before swinging the belt in the air like his father and started hitting me.
I screamed again and again after each attack. Both him and I were loudly crying, each for different yet the same reason.
After a few hits, the belt slipped away from his hand as I felt myself on the verge of passing out.
"Very good. I am proud of you son." I heard Marcus say as he left the room.
Casper immediately came to me, cradling me in his arms as I laid limp.
"I am sorry, Jennifer. So sorry." His tears fell on my face as darkness consumed me.
Max's POV:
I don't know why but I was crying. I felt pain in my body as if someone was hitting me.
Jennifer.
Someone was hitting Jennifer.
"Max?! Max what happened?!" Liam frantically asked but I didn't say anything.
I was hyperventilating as I thought about Jennifer being in pain.
"Guys! Everyone please come here! Something's happening to Max!" Liam yelled and soon after all the others were there, seeing me in such a situation.
"Max, calm down!" Isabella rubbed my back and yelled at someone to give me water.
After a few minutes I finally managed to calm down. Everyone was looking at me, expecting me to say something but I couldn't. I just stared down at my feet.
"Please say something Max! We're worried." Liam begged.
"I felt pain. Jennifer's pain. As if someone was hitting her." I whispered and the room became silent.
I didn't look up at anyone. Charlotte broke down as Liam comforted her.
"Marcus isn't picking up his phone. Our men had gone to his hideout and all the other places in the city where he could have been or kept Jennifer but we found out that he's not in the city." Tristan informed us with clenched fists.
"They would have definitely taken Jennifer to a different place." Isabella said and sighed.
"WELL, FIND HER THEN! I AM DONE WITH FEELING SO HELPLESS! MY JENNIFER IS THERE WITH ALL THOSE MONSTERS ALONE AND HERE I AM, SITTING AND DOING NOTHING!" Zack yelled.
"You Know what?! I don't need you all. I will find my Jennifer myself." He said in a quiet tone, with a certain determination on his face and left.
"Zack's right. Even I am done just sitting and hoping that she'll be found soon. It's time to really find my sister." I said and got up.
"What will you do, Max?" Liam asked.
"War." I said and everyone's eyes widened.
"They want everything that is dad's, right? I will not give a single penny to them but I surely will destroy and snatch everything away from them for even laying a finger on my sister." I said in a dangerously menacing tone.
"You can't just-"
"I can. And I will. In case you've all forgotten, I am this Mafia's new leader and you will all do everything that I say. If you don't, then you're very welcomed to pick up your asses and get out." I glared at Tristan and our men who were standing behind him.
"I am ready to go to every extent for my sister." I said and left the room.
