That can be arranged?

What a douch.

"I'm not doing anything for you, and I'm leaving ." As I was about to walk away he pulled me back to him.

"Let me go!"

"Don't you want to stay with me Angel?" He chuckled.

"Stop it." I breathed, " You can't keep me here."

"Can't I?" He grinned wolfishly.

"You-This is kidnapping!"

"At least I saved you, you would have been dead by now."

Everything was beginning to become so blurry, the place seemed like it was spinning. Why was I so dizzy? I felt weak. Dear God, what was happening?

My eyelids were too heavy to peel open. I felt a soft comfort beneath me. Shifting a bit, I brushed my face on another softness. Forcefully, I tried to open my eyes but it only got as far as 'squint-level' open. Was I on a bed? Taking note of my surroundings, I shot up with a gasp.

This room was different from the one I've been staying in.

"Miss Grey." A voice suddenly startled me.

Turning to the side a noted a woman holding a stack of clothes. She looked like she worked here from her dressing. Looking at the window, I noticed it was still dark.

"The sun would rise in a bit." She smiled.

I honestly didn't know what to say, I felt distraughted.

"Sinister places mto in your care. Do tell me if you need anything." She continued.

"I want to go home." I whispered.

As I was about to get off the bed, she stopped m, she stopped me." Miss Grey please do reconsider what you're about to do. The door is locked."

"Well give me the key." I stated in a matter of fact way. Surely, she has a key to get in and out of the room.

"I-I can't." Her voice broke almost as if she was scared.

"Why can't you? Can't you see that I'm being held against my will here? As a woman you should at least see to it that we have our own rights and are treated with equality and respect."

"I'm not your Enemy Child, I truly am your well wisher, and I can tell you that these people are dangerous. You do not want to aggravate them at any cost. You don't know what they are capable of doing."

With that being said. She hurriedly went across the room, unlocked the door and locked it back again. I was too consumed in my own thoughts to even put up a fight to the door. My body and mind felt like it was experiencing extreme fatigue. And my mouth went to dry, what the hell happened yesterday? How did I? Was I drunk? I honestly felt gross at everything. Taking a deep tired breathe, I edged myself off the bed. The cold icy tiles licked the bottom of my soft warm legs . Now I wish I didn't get off the bed.

The door handle twisted and I mentally fell back into the bed. I didn't want to see sinister for now, I wasn't ready.

"Hey princess !" Alberto's voice shot out as the door opened, he came in wearing his bestest smile. The devil. From the way he was smiling , I guess he already knew Sinister's plan on keeping me here because of my brother, and I trusted him. I saw him as a friend. well, you shouldn't be friends with the devil's associates.

"How are you feeling today pumpkin?"

"Oh wow! Now the devil's associate seems to care again. Liar!" I laughed with a little bit of sarcasm.

"Devil what, haha that's the new name now?" He grinned at me as he jumped on the bed and almost sat on my legs. "I told you sinister was the only person who could tell you what was going on, and I wasn't lying about anything ."

"It wouldn't have killed or taken anything from you to tell me that my brother was involved with sinister, and that's why he's been keeping me here!" I screamed at him as I began throwing everything I could lay my hands on At him."I thought I was your friend, you even brought me clothes and I wore them!" I felt like tearing up but I didn't want him to see me weak, because I was already screaming like a maniac and my hair was out of place.

I threw a pillow at him and he threw it back at me, "Calm down miss and I'll tell you what you need to hear."

"The only thing I want to hear right now is how to leave here and find my brother." I calmed.

" Sinister didn't intend on keeping you here because of your brother at first, he was keeping you here because of the folders you saw and how dangerous your life is at the moment. When he discovered you were the sister to Daniel, he immediately did a background research about you, because all the time Daniel was here he never talked about having a grown sister as you." He stopped talking as though giving me time to register the information in my head. "Your brother did something very annoying and life threatening.. Same way you got a folder you shouldn't see, he did too and took to running away with the folder and Sinister's money. Sinister just want to get his folder back.."

"Just his folder, didn't seemed like so from the way he was talking." I growled at him.

"Yeah true, your brother needs to be taught a lesson."

"And you expect me to just agree to using myself as bait to get my brother so that 'Sinister' can get to him? Do you guys think I'm crazy?" I screamed at him.

"Like I said before, your brother is not the all- innocent and sweetie you've seen him as. And stop hating on sinister, he's your only way out of here."

I calmed at that, I felt bug eyed. Maybe they were right. If Daniel faked his death, what

Can't he do then?

"I don't know Alberto, I'm confused."

"Oh and," he fumbled my messy hair with his fingers, " Cheer up, Sinister wants to meet with you."

That devil!
