Jake's been kidnapped

Jake's been kidnapped
Rachel's POV

"Well, that was an expected ending," I said out loud as I watched the film credits display on the huge flat-screen television.

It was a romance movie which Olivia unsurprisingly starred in, it was unsuspectingly because I knew before picking the movie to watch.

Olivia was the weak female lead who fell hopelessly in love with the male lead, who was another big actor in the movie industry. Both of them were lovers, by the guy's family didn't approve of the female lead.

She tried everything she could to earn their trust and love, but just couldn't get it, and after a few years of being disrespected by them, she got tired and snapped.

Veni, the female lead, who was originally nice and the sweetest girl in the entire town, suddenly changes, and goes on a killing spree, killing everything and stopping her and the male lead from getting together.

After the male lead, Ali finds out about it, he becomes mad and moves on to another girl, an action which makes Veni even madder.

She tries to end Ali's new girlfriend, but that is when she is caught, and Ali and his girlfriend live happily ever after with Veni beginning bars.

Isn't the movie nice?

I had just been scrolling around movies when I came across this one.

Maybe it was beautiful, it was highly similar to my life right now, or because I just wanted to watch a movie where Olivia died in the end, but I played the movie, and now a part of me was regretting it.

As predictable as the movie was, it still got me a bit agitated.

In the case of Veni and Ali's girlfriend, the girl suffered a lot in the former's hands before she was caught. She almost even lost her eyes and was hospitalized for over three months even after Veni was jailed.

What if something like that happened to me?

"But at least Olivia would pay for her crimes at the end ". I thought outwardly letting out a small sigh.

I had just spent three hours watching a romance movie which was no different from a scary one, terrifying myself to the core.

Shaking my head, I picked up my phone from the couch and checked the time.

It was past four.

Hannah and Jake would be back any minute and yet no sign of Olivia.

I had thought she was going to show up since, by now, her informant must have relayed the information that I wasn't showing any sign of leaving Ethan.

"Could it be that she had given up on me and decided to just go on with her life?" I wondered but immediately answered myself with a sneer. "Nah, never. Psychotic bitches like Olivia never gave up on their targets." Especially when their targets were not running.

Olivia hated me more than anything at the moment, I could bet; she would never let me get away, she would never leave me alone, she would...

"Rachel!!!"

I heard a faint yelling of my name from a childish voice and a smile unconsciously appeared on my cheeks.

Jake was back. The rest of my thoughts were scrambled as I thought of Jake's cute face.

"Rachel! " He yelled again and I shook my head, the smile still on my face.

He was always so impatient. "I'm right here!" I yelled back standing you from the couch.

I hadn't taken more than two steps when I heard the light sound of shoes clacking on the ground. At first, my mind went to Jake, but those shoes sounded like heels.

My mind went to Hannah, but she didn't wear heels; she wore sneakers. That meant it could only be...

My heartbeat suddenly began to increase, and I froze.

Could it be Olivia? Was she finally here?

This was a terrible time for her to be here, Jake was home. But she wouldn't do anything to her best friend's son, right?

"Rachel, are you in the sitting room?" Jake's voice became even more louder. "I'm coming over there now. "

My eyes widened, and I panicked. He can't come here!

I shook my hands in front of me, not as if he could see them though " No don't... " Before I could finish my sentence, I felt a sharp pain in my head, and my knees immediately went down.

My consciousness began to slowly fade away but just before it completely left, I heard the muffled sound of Jake's screams.

He was begging someone to let him go.

Was she hurting him?

No Olivia... Don't hurt him. I cried inwardly before my body involuntarily succumbed to the dark, cold, and welcoming silence.

...

" Fucking fuck! " I groaned wincing as I sat up straight from... From the couch?

" What happened?" I didn't even take up to five seconds after I asked that question before everything came back to me.

I was watching a movie, then I heard Jake come in and then someone hit the back of my head.

I reached out to touch the back of my head and I felt the slight wetness of my hair. I was bleeding.

" Why couldn't she just use the chloroform again?" I wondered groaning again with the slight movement of my head.

Then suddenly, I froze as the last thing I remembered before falling unconscious came back to me: Jake's muffled screams.

Holy shit, Jake!

As soon as I thought about him, my phone rang.

I blinked twice before picking up my phone.

It was an unknown number; wow, how comforting.

Before taking the call I looked around my surroundings. I was still at Ethan's mansion, that was good but why didn't Olivia kidnap me again? And what the fuck did she want with the little kid?!

' You'll know all that if you answer your damn call! ' my subconscious yelled at me, and I looked back at my phone in my hands.

The caller had been calling non-stop for the past few minutes and didn't seem as if it was going to stop.

If this was Olivia, she probably would want to discuss Jake's terms of release, which would definitely not be in my favor since I've dared her already.

Taking a huge, really huge breath, I clicked on the green button and brought the phone to my ear.

" Hello?"

" Finally..." Olivia's sinister voice came through the phone. " I was starting to think you weren't awake yet and was thinking of playing with Jake while awake time, but yay! You answered ".

What sort of a psychotic bitch was this? I thought in shock.

I didn't even know why I was still shocked. I should have expected anything from someone like Olivia but kidnapping a kid...

" Let Jake go. He has nothing to do with this ". I said coldly into the phone.

The next thing I heard was a loud long laughter.

" What's so funny? " I asked out of irritation at her overly prolonged laughter. Because of how agitated and furious I was, my head began to hurt... Or maybe it was because someone knocked me out with a heavy object?

Either way, my head was hurting as hell.

I let out a small sound shutting and opening my eyes rapidly while massaging my temple with my free hands.

Olivia's laughter wasn't even helping matters.

"For fuck sake why didn't you just drug me the way you did last time? What's with hitting me on the head?" I asked furiously.

"Oh, I didn't do that." I stared daggers at Olivia from the phone. If looks could kill, she would probably be dead right now, even without seeing the look I was giving her.

What did she mean by she didn't do it?

" I don't think my informant likes you very much, oh well "

Her informant?

Fuck, I had forgotten that she had someone on the inside working for her.

" What do you want Olivia?" I asked knowing clearly what she wanted. " I still have over eight hours from the time you have me "

" But you're not going to do it are you?!" She snapped, her laughter disappearing. Even from the phone, I could feel her glaring at me, which made me involuntarily shudder.

"Jake is going to pay for your stupidity, Rachel. Next time, you won't try to act smart ". Olivia said ending the call harshly.

"What the..." I removed the phone from my ear to check if it was still connected. " Hello? Hello?!"

Nope, she had disconnected it. That damn bitch!
