Chapter 50

Crystal's pov

My breath hitched in my throat when I saw them moving towards the car.

"Tyler" I called the driver's name and turned towards him to see that he was already looking at me with confusion.

"Tyler, drive fast. Martin has betrayed us" I said urgently and saw him widening his eyes in surprise.

But before he could have done something, a few goons came and forcefully dragged me and him out of the car.

As soon as I was out from the car I came face to face with Ethan who was looking at me with a big smirk.

"Hello mrs knight. Good to see you" He said with a smirk but his tone was venomous.

"Remember once I told you that I will take revenge from you for destroying my years of planning. Guess what? The time has come" He said with a smile and next moment his palm connected with my face.

I cried with the pain. My eyes turned watery with the impact.

"I love it when you cry" He said and came closer to me. I tried moving away but his goons caught my arms tightly.

Unknowingly my eyes went towards Martin who was smiling at my condition.

"W-why?" I asked bitterly.

Instead of replying to my question Martin too raised his hands at me.

I cried in pain to which Ethan let out a laugh in pleasure.

"Crystal, Crystal, Crystal. You get what you sow. I did told you in past to not to be oversmart but you didn't listened to me. Now you are going to pay for your oversmartness" Ethan whispered in a dangerous tone and looked at his man to which he started pushing inside one of his car.

"Leave her" Tyler, the driver yelled after freeing himself from their holds and ran to help me.

He started fighting with the goon who was holding me.

"Bastard" Martin yelled and stabbed his back with a knife.

"No" I yelled in fear and looked at Tyler whose eyes turned moist from the pain.

"Trying to be a savior, huh?" Martin said in a teasing voice and once again stabbed him.

Tyler hissed in pain and fell on the ground, groaning in pain.

"Leave him, please" I pleaded looking at Martin but he gave deaf ears to me and kept stabbing him like a monster.

After stabbing him for few more times Martin finally stood up from the ground and shot Tyler in his head.

"Noo" I yelled at him to which he smirked.

"You're a monster" I said angrily and saw his eyes turned more red in anger and the next moment he came towards me and punched my jaw.

"Sshii" I hissed in pain.

"Shut up" Martin yelled at the top of his voice.

But surprisingly instead of getting scared, I looked directly in his eyes and smirked a little at him.

"Can't take the truth?" I asked mockingly and the next moment he pointed his gun at my head.

I'm dead now.

Although I was scared but I decided to not to show him that so I tried my best to keep a neutral face.

"Martin not now. We will kill her but not like this. Killing her like this would be mercy on her and she doesn't deserve our mercy. We will kill her in the most cruelest way" Ethan muttered, removing Martin gun from my head.

"Take her inside the car" Ethan ordered to one of his goon so he started dragging me.

While leaving my leg got stuck with Tyler's body. My eyes became moist thinking about him. He lost his life for me.

"May your soul rest in peace, Tyler" I muttered softly to his body.

Ethan's goon pushed me inside the car and tied my hands and started the car and drove towards some unknown place.

Oh God.

Dante must he worrying for me. He must be calling me or Martin for asking my whereabouts.

Shit. Dante doesn't knows about Martin involvement with Ethan. He must be thinking that this Martin is our wellwisher.

What if Ethan kills me? How would Dante learn that Martin is an enemy? How would he or I learn about his reason for betraying us? He would always trust Martin with his or our family's security.

Noo.

I have to leave this place. I can't be here. I have to reach Dante. I have to.

I looked outside the car for any clue of my whereabouts when I felt something wet near my lips.

When I touched it with my tied hands I realised that this was blood dripping because of Martin's punch.

Why is he doing this?

Dante's pov

"Dante please calm down" Ashton said in a pleading voice.

"How can I calm down, Ashton? How? My wife has been kidnapped and her life is in danger and the person who I appointed for her protection has became a threat for her life and you want me calm down?" I yelled at him and continued pacing around, waiting for the cops to locate their location.

It's all my fault. I should have stopped Crystal from going out today. If I would have done that, she would have in my arms right now.

Why? Why did I let her go today? Why didn't I listened to my heart? Fucking why?

I continued pacing around in distress thinking about everything.

This is it. This time I will not leave Kingsley's and won't leave Martin too. Fucker. I trusted him with Crystal's life and what he did? Betrayed us.

But the question is, why?

Kingsley's doesn't have much money to offer so money isn't the problem. There is definitely something which is hidden from all of us.

I rubbed my forehead in annoyance and kept waiting for cops to fill us with some information.

Soon my wait ended when I saw the officer along with his team walked towards us.

"What happened? Did you track her location? Or Martin or Kingsley's location?" I asked impatiently to which they nodded.

"Yes Mr knight, we have traced them. Though it was kinda difficult as they had used some non traceable devices but the tracker device on mrs knight's ring helped us a lot and we have managed to track her with the help of our IT team" They said to which I sighed in relief.

So yes, the engagement ring which I gave to Crystal on her birthday had a tracker which I installed for safety purpose and the best part is that not everyone knows about that especially Martin so thankfully it helped us today.

"Where are they?" Ashton asked urgently.

"They are quite away from us but I have already asked my team to reach the location and I'm heading there too. So don't worry, we will save your wife" Officer said looking at me.

"Great. I'll join you too" I said sternly.

"But Mr knight you can't-"

"I said I will join you" I said angrily and saw him gulped his saliva in fear.

Of course.

"But Mr-"

I didn't let him complete his sentence and took a step towards him, all this while glaring him hard.

"Don't make me repeat myself. Am I clear?" I asked slowly yet dangerously to which he nodded, wiping his sweat.

"Great. Now let's go" I said and nodded.

"Dante, you sure you want to go? This could be dangerous" Dad asked to which I looked at him with little anger.

"Dad, Crystal's life is in danger and you want me to sit here obediently and wait for them? No I can't. I have to go" I said angrily.

"I know son. I'm just trying to protect you".

"And I'm trying to protect my wife" I replied annoyingly.

"Fine. I'm sending my men behind you" Dad said to which I nodded and followed the officer who is all set to leave.

Crystal's pov

Darkness. The only thing I can see everywhere right now is darkness.

Currently I'm locked up in a dark room with no rays of light. Ethan has taken me in an old building and locked me here.

Although I'm all alone in this room but I can still hear them talking. They are arguing about something. Mostly it's Ethan and Martin talking.

And guess what they are talking? Ethan is in favour of giving me tortures death whereas Martin wants me dead instantly. So yeah, they are pretty much arguing about me.

Sick people.

They think that just because they have taken me away from the people's eyes, Dante or someone else won't be able to find me.

How wrong are they.

Thankfully they don't know anything about the tracker in my ring so there is a chance that Dante might be searching for me and he would find me soon.

But till then I can't stay here. I have to do something or else they would kill me.

With this thought I started to pull my hands, trying to free them from the rope but the grip was quite tight.

Soon the door of the room opened, halting my movements and here came Ethan and opened the lights. I blinked my eyes from the sudden brightness.

"Hello, my favorite girl" Ethan said to which I looked at him.

He smirked a little and settled himself in front of me.

"You know Crystal, you really look innocent. Looking at you, no one can say that the girl behind this innocent face is nothing but a cunning whore" Ethan muttered with disgust.

"Look at you. First you runied my years of hardwork by opening this pretty little mouth of yours and then like a satan you faked your so called innocence and got married with Dante, huh. And not just you got married to him, you made him fall in love with you, A whore" Ethan said slowly yet dangerously.

"Crystal I would have given you immense amount of money if you wouldn't have backstabbed me but look at you. Now your oversmartness is going to cost you, your life" Ethan muttered and pulled out a knife from his pocket.

I widened my eyes in shock looking at the knife causing him to smirk more.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you, yet. At first I'll torture you and then I'll kill you. I will rip your body slowly slowly. I'll enjoy each and every minute of your painful screams" Saying this, Ethan stabbed the knife down my thigh slitting it open.

I screamed in pain and looked at him with anger filled eyes.

"Aww princess is getting angry" Ethan mocked.

I gritted my teeth, trying to suppress my pain but at the end let out a sob.

"You're go-going to regret this" I said in pain.

"Dante will kill you for this" I said and the next moment Ethan stabbed the knife in my shoulder.

"Even if Dante kills me, you won't be alive to see that" Ethan muttered angrily and left the room.

I cried and cried in pain but nothing was helping me. I even tried to untie myself but I couldn't.

Soon Martin came inside the room and smirked looking at my condition.

"You monster" I yelled at him to which his eyes turned red in anger.

He quickly approached me and pulled my hair harshly.

"Don't you realise that you're at our mercy, Crystal? Don't do or say something which you regret later" Martin yelled at the top of his voice and left me.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked calmly this time.

"Because you're a whore" Martin yelled at me.

"I fucking loved you but what did you do? You chose Dante over me. Why? Because he is rich. You're nothing but a gold digger" Martin yelled at me.

"I thought of proposing to you after yours and his divorce but you? You fucking spread you legs before him for money" He said and I looked at him in shock.

He loves me?

"W-what are you saying? I always considered you as my brother" I said slowly.

"Of course you will consider me a brother because I'm not rich like Dante, no? You bitch" Martin slapped me hard in my face.

I hissed in pain and looked at him in fear. I so want to yell at him but I can't. He is behaving like a monster and if I say anything to him right now he will surely kill me.

I have to stay silent till Dante comes. Let him come and then I'll show him who the real boss is.

"You know Crystal even after knowing your real face I thought of forgiving you and giving you another chance but no, like always you decided to ruin my inner peace. I would have thought of sparing you but you, you decided to create another piece of shit, huh" Martin said angrily to which I looked at him in confusion.

Martin smirked seeing my reaction.

"Oh yeah, you don't have any idea about that, right. It would be more fun now" Martin said, laughing like a devil.

"Remember Crystal you were sick a week ago and went for a medical checkup" He asked with grin.

"You and your husband forgot about the reports but I didn't. I went to the hospital to collect your reports and guess what I found out?" Martin asked giving me an interesting look.

"Any guesses?" Martin asked in such a tone as if he was talking to a toddler.

"You Crystal, you are pregnant with some assholes child and that asshole can be anyone and not just Dante. Because knowing you I can clearly say that you must have slept with other men too after all you are a whore" Martin muttered with disgust.

My breath hitched in my throat when I heard about the never of me being pregnant. I'm pregnant.

Dante and I are going to be parents. Oh my god.

A small smile appeared on my lips just by thinking that. After nine months we will have our baby in our arms.

My happy moment got ruined because of Martin as he caught my jaw harshly in his grip.

"Don't be so happy slut. I'm going to kill you and your unborn child today" Martin said slowly yet dangerously and a shiver passed through my spine.

"M-Martin please no" I cried in fear.

"Just wait and watch, Crystal" Martin smirked happily and left the room.

Shit.

No, I can't wait for Dante now. Ethan and Martin aren't trustworthy. They can do anything right now. Not just I have to save myself but I have to save my unborn child too. I have to do something. I have to. I can't wait for others now.

Don't worry baby. I'll protect you at all costs.

"D-Dante" She whispered ever so softly and fell in the ground, clutching her stomach. My eyes went downstairs to see that blood was oozing from her stomach and once again everything around me stopped but this time, in pain and agony.
