A Lifetime With You by Athrhteera

Chapter 54 Alena

The throbbing headache had awaken me from my nightmare, making me yelp forward. However, my movements were restricted as my hands were tied behind my back, along with the metal chair.

My feet were on the cold The coldness of the room caused me to shudder and it didn't take me floor, my eyes were closed and wrapped by a thick black cloth-probably had been in this position for the past few hours because my body had gotten Maybe, the soreness came from the endless beating I took.

I winced as I felt the pain on my rib and I instantly knew it was broken.

My face felt puffy and sore, making it hard for me to speak. Even as I tried to scream, nothing came out of my mouth due to the burning pain in my throat. My voice came out like a whisper How long had I been screaming? How many times were I beaten up?

Those questions kept replaying in my head. I felt as if I had lost track of time, I couldn't remember if I was kidnapped yesterday or a few days ago, all I could feel was the pain all over my body and how I was left unattended.

My stomach growled in hunger and my throat felt dry from t

om thirst.

Iried to free my hands from being tied down but the struggles had only caused my wrists to burn from the abrasion. My whole body felt weak and drained, I felt as if I was losing my mind from the unknown.

"Somebody! Somebody, help me!" I shouted, forcing my voice to come out.

My throat continued to burn but I ignored it, only wanted to save myself.

As I heard noises coming from the outside, I knew the pyscho had heard my screams. The moment he walked in and closed the door behind him, my body trembled in fear; many things began to play in my head, different ways of how I could die. I couldn't see the stranger in front of me but I could feel his presence and it sent shivers down my spine, afraid of him-I didn't know if he was holding anything. He could hurt me and I couldn't help myself as much as I wanted to. "Please, let me go." I muttered, begging.

"Really? You've been here for three days now, they haven't done anything to save you."

My heart sank at the fact of being trapped here for three days. No wonder my body felt weak, I hadn't been eating or drinking anything except for a few sips. It was only to make sure I stayed alive regardless of developing any health issues later on.

It was impossible for Papa or Alexei to not find me; they were supposed to be able to track me down. As for Matteo, I knew he was already losing his mind at my disappearance. He wasn't going to let this one slide away. Papa was known to hold grudges, he wasn't going to let anyone hurt his daughter. Yet, I had been strapped and tortured to the bones, nobody came to save me.

I knew they were trying. I knew they were doing their very best to find me.
