It has been three full days since I have been here and I am starting to lose hope. I don’t think I am going to get out of this alive. I seriously don’t see why Alessandro is so obsessed with Ashton. I don’t understand why he doesn’t just face Ashton and sort their issues out and stop killing people in the process. If you ask me I think Alessandro is just too scared of Ashton.

“Will you please go away” I say trying to get Alessandro to leave me alone.

“You are feisty Ms Calathes” he says coming down to my level.

“Why don’t you just face Ashton? You are scared aren’t you? If I die, it is just going to prove that little fact” I say smirking.

“You don’t what you are talking about” he says getting angry.

“You are scared of him” I say trying to not look terrified of his mood change.

“You don’t know what you are talking about. Say it” he says grabbing my neck.

“It is true, you just can’t accept the fact that he is better than you, you are just a little ant that is trying to get his attention and if you ask me you are going to get squashed” I say avoiding his gaze since I know he is going to see my fear if I look him in the eyes.

“You better shut up or you are going to get hurt!” he says furiously. This is enough to get me quite. I get this bad craving for peanut butter and vanilla ice cream. It is really hard being pregnant and kidnapped.

“Do you mind getting me some peanut butter and vanilla ice cream?” I ask after a few seconds of being quite.

“What?” he asks surprised at my request.

“Since I am going to die in this hell hole, I thought maybe I might just have some peanut butter and vanilla ice cream it couldn’t hurt to ask.”

Alessandro just leaves. I really shouldn’t have told Ashton to take out the tracker on my ring. I mean I could have been found a long time ago. After three whole days I remember that I have my phone with me. I reach for my phone in my pocket and slowly take it out. I dial my sister’s number and to me dismay she doesn’t answer. Dammit Athena, I try her again and she finally answers.

“Alex, where are you?” she asks frantically.

“I don’t know, look don’t hang up just please get somebody to trace my phone. You will get my location” I whisper.

“Ok I’ll get Nicholas to get your location” she says shortly. I guess it pays to have a brother in law who is a computer geek.

One of Alessandro’ s men comes into the warehouse with the vanilla ice cream and peanut butter I requested. Atleast I got that, now just to go home. He places it next to me and leaves.

“Hi, hey you can’t just put this here how am I suppose to eat this?” I say irritated at this guy’s idiocy. He comes over and unties me. I stretch my hands and take the ice cream and peanut butter. The dude just stands there watching me eat. I am untied, I can just knock this guy out and runaway from here. I tell him that I need to go to the bathroom he knods and I stand up and lunge onto him and take his gun from where he had put it on his hip.

“Empty your pockets!” I say he immediately empties his pockets and I take anything that he might be using to call people to tell them that I got away. Before I leave I decide to shoot his kneecap but end up shooting him in the thigh. Well he still won’t run to Alessandro and his men. I run out of the warehouse and see that I am in the middle of the woods. Great I am going to die here. I take out my phone and my sister tells me that they have traced my location and the police will be where I am in thirty minutes. I just have to hide and not get found by Alessandro’s men.

“Athena, look I need you to call off the police and call Ashton he will know what to do” I say realising that I shot someone.

“Alex are you serious?” Athena asks surprised at my request.

“Yes I am. Do it please” I plead. I am not about to go to jail for protecting myself and my unborn child.

“Ok, but tell me why you don’t want to let the police come and get you” she says, I guess she won’t let this go.

“I could have shot someone” I say hesitantly.

Right after I say that I feel a hand grabbing me from the back and my phone lands on the forest floor. The person takes my gun and point it at my temple. I am going to die here. I am dragged back into the warehouse and violently thrown onto the floor. I look at the person and find that it is Alessandro and his eyes are blazing with fury.

“Alexendra I told you that nobody double crosses me” he says coming close to me.

“I am sorry” I say moving back.

“Now, you just pushed me! You are going to be unrecognisable by the time your help gets here. Who knows maybe you might be dead” he says throwing a punch across my face.

“I am sorry” I say half crying. I suddenly get another punch across my face.

“Oh you will be” he says folding his sleeves and smirking. He comes closer and kicks me. I curl up in a foetus position to protect my baby. He kicks my back and effortlessly picks me up and throws me to the ground. The only thing I am thinking about right now is my baby. I can’t lose my first child I honestly can’t. I feel Alessandro’s fist on my stomach the pain immediately shatters my world into a million tiny pieces. He throws another fist on my face and starts maniacally kicking me.
