Chapter 1 Abducted

  • AURORA’S POV
  • I drew in a long, deep breath before pushing open the glass door.
  • “Miss Aurora, Please be seated. Dr. Dixon will join you in a moment.” The tall, lanky assistant muttered and walked out of the door leaving me all alone.
  • My heart pounded against my ribs. I gripped the hand of the chair tightly as I studied my surroundings to keep myself distracted.
  • The cabin was just like a gynecologist's cabin should be; jet white walls with charts of babies and fetuses at various stages. A particular image of a beautiful baby girl caught my eyes.
  • I had always loved babies but after Leonard's betrayal, I had stayed away from any serious relationships.
  • “Ah! Ms. Aurora… right on time I see. Your reports are here.” A sweet yet firm voice sounded in the room drawing my attention.
  • I turned my head in the direction of the voice to find my charming and energetic doctor standing with a smile.
  • I chewed my lower lip and asked in a shaking voice, “And…”
  • Her lips formed a thin line and she said in a somber tone, “You are indeed pregnant.”
  • I felt like a bolt of lightning had struck me. My voice wavered as I said, “How… how is this possible. I am on pills.”
  • “Pills are not fail-proof, Aurora.”
  • “Are you sure there has been no mistake?”
  • “I have all the reports here. You can see them for yourself.” The doctor said handing me a blue file.
  • I turned the pages of the file and read through it as fast as possible. My heart sank as I saw the words ‘positive’ printed on the result. I kept staring at it for a long time as if it would change magically.
  • “You are still in the early stage of pregnancy. You still have a choice. I suggest that you think about it and meet me again say next Friday.” Ms. Dixon said in a reassuring voice.
  • I nodded my head and trudged out of the cabin wordlessly. I took out my phone and was about to call Michael when something was sprayed on my face.
  • “What the hell!” I cursed as I shielded my face with the file. A pungent smell assaulted my nose and I started feeling dizzy.
  • Wiping the moisture on my face, I opened my eyes slowly but my vision had become bleary. The file in my hand slipped to the ground and my body swayed.
  • I gripped the nearby chair for support but the spinning sensation intensified and before I knew it, I had passed out.
  • ***
  • When I woke up I found myself in a luxurious bedroom; a poster bed, soft mattress, exquisite paintings, dressing table. It looked more like a suite in a five-star hotel than a bedroom.
  • My heart skipped a beat when the realization dawned on me. Hadn’t I fainted? How did I reach here?
  • Jumping to my feet, I looked around warily. My heart pounded against her ribs as I turned the doorknob. I let out a sigh of relief when it opened.
  • I found myself standing in a rather long corridor. There were several rooms on the left side of the corridor while the right side was fenced with a wooden barrier. Overlooking the long corridor was a large hall. Plush couches, thick carpets, antique artworks, magnificent chandeliers.
  • I walked along the corridor as if in a trance. Every inch of the mansion screamed grandeur.
  • My steps came to a halt in front of a room after hearing some voices.
  • “Time to find out how I reached here,” I muttered as I walked into the room.
  • Two men were talking animatedly. I could see only their back profile as they were standing with their backs towards me. Both of them were of similar height and build.
  • The only difference was that one of them had black hair while the other had copper-brown hair.
  • I gasped as I was suddenly pushed against the wall by a strong force. The one with Copper-brown hair had me pinned against the wall. His eyes were red and he was breathing heavily.
  • I was frozen on the spot as I drank in his appearance greedily; high cheekbones, fair complexion, cherry red lips, and dark brown eyes.
  • His face was chiseled to perfection except for the deep scar near his left eye. This added a dangerous look to his appearance making him even more alluring. I had a nagging feeling that I had seen the scar somewhere.
  • “Do you have a death wish girl?” His dangerously, cold voice made me shudder. I opened my mouth to speak but it was as if I had lost my voice. I couldn’t bring myself to say anything.
  • “Don’t you know that Eavesdropping is punishable with death?”
  • “I… I wasn’t eavesdropping… I was just walking through the corridor and came in just to ask how I got here.”
  • The veins on his head popped and he gripped my throat roaring, “Do you think I am a fool? At least make a reasonable excuse.”
  • I gasped for breath and tried to speak but the pressure was too much for me to bear.
  • “She is indeed speaking the truth, brother. I brought her here.” The man with the black hair said taking a few steps towards us.
  • His grip eased slightly and I opened my mouth to greedily draw in the much-needed oxygen.
  • “Why would you do that, Aslan? I think you should know better than to let strangers saunter into our home.”
  • “She is not a stranger, Tyson. Don’t you remember her at all?”
  • He looked at me briefly before questioning, “Should I remember her?”
  • “Damn Tyson! Can’t you be reasonable at least for once? She is pregnant with your child for God’s sake!”
  • I gasped in horror. Now, I knew where I had seen that scar. He was the man I had slept with in Nyla when I was drunk. I was never good with drinks and usually abstained from drinking but Erica had forced me during a party.
  • I was so tipsy that I couldn’t remember anything the next morning. If I made it out of this alive, I would kill her for getting me into this mess.
  • He released me suddenly causing me to stagger. I watched in horror as he grasped Aslan by his throat. Fire erupted from his fingertips and enveloped Aslan’s throat.
  • He screamed in pain but the next moment Tyson was thrown against the wall. It happened so fast that I couldn’t grasp what was happening. They moved around the room faster than lightning as they fought.
  • “Listen to me, Tyson. We can’t leave her on her own. It is dangerous.” Aslan gritted out when he finally managed to pin him to the wall.
  • Tyson gave him a long look before pushing him away and stormed out of the room. Moments later Aslan ran after him calling his name.
  • My head spun as I tried to grasp my head around what had happened. I was pregnant with some psycho’s child. His brother wanted to keep me here as It would be dangerous for me to stay alone.
  • I couldn’t see how anything or anyone could be more dangerous than the men I had witnessed. I couldn’t stay in this wretched place any longer.
  • My fingers trembled as I took out my phone and dialed Michael’s phone. The moment he picked up the phone I launched into a tirade, “Michael, please find me quickly and get me out of here. The men… they are not normal. I don’t know what they are… I just saw fire coming out Tyson’s hand… he…”
  • “Listen to me Aurora. Stay right where you are. I will come and get you. Do you understand? Stay right where you are!” His soothing voice sounded through the phone making me feel at ease again.
  • I drew in a deep breath and said, “Okay, but please come soon Michael. I am terrified.”
  • “I will be right there, Luv.” He said and disconnected the call.
  • I just had to wait it out till he arrived. Then I could get out of here. Easy right…
