CHAPTER 25

" What's up ? " Bryle asked as she made her way to the fluffy bed and flopped on it, bouncing slightly on it.

" Ah, " she moaned.

" It feels like I'm on top of the clouds, " She said, closing her eyes and sighing contentedly.

" Bryle ! Shut up. We have to get out of here, " I said as I skipped towards her.

Her eyes shot open and she gave me a puzzled look.

" Why ? " she asked.

" It's so nice here, " she gave me a sly grin,

" Sophia ." I groaned.

" I'm not Sophia ! Don't call me that for God's sake ! " Bryle sat up on the bed, eyeing the door from which we came in from.

She took my hands in hers, focusing her gaze on me.

" Look Sophie, I know you're not Sophia. You know you're not Sophia. Except for us two, nobody knows you're not Sophia. "

" So ? " I asked, even though I knew where exactly she was going with with this.

She just looked at me like l' ve prown three heads " Don't you know what this means ? Do you even know who the Jolie's are ? "

I scrunched up my eyebrows in confusion.

" They are . . . " I bit my lip.

" The Jolie's ? "

" I thought so, " Bryle shook her head at the business section of magazines and newspapers ? "

" Do you ever keep up with " No. " I said.

Why would I read that ? It was boring and unrelated to me.

" I knew it, " Bryle said as her eyes brightened.

" We are kidnapped by the Jolie's. And do you know who they are ? " Bryle asked again, waggling her eyebrows. Without waiting for my reply, she continued.

" The Jolie's have a big family business ! They are one of the richest billionaires in the whole wide world ! You saw that old man downstairs, he's Tony Jolie ! The CEO of Jolie Holdings Inc. The largest company in the world of business.

You don't know how much the company costs.

It's more than a few hundred billions !

He has a global chain of luxurious hotels, casinos and beach resorts.

He even owns a fucking Jeju Island ! How cool is that ? ! " Bryle's eyes were wide and round, her mouth hanging open slightly as she stared off into space.

I swallowed hard as Bryle's words finally sunk in.

" Y - You mean to tell me that we are kidnapped by one of the richest billionaires in the world who have mistaken me for their daughter ? !

What ? ! " I asked in disbelief.

" Yes ! " She exclaimed.

" This must be a dream, " I said, my own mouth popping open at the impossible possibility.

Suddenly, Bryle leaned towards me, smacking me at the back of my- head with her hand.

" Ow ! " I hissed in pain, glaring up at my crazy best friend.

" What was that " Did it hurt ? "

" Well, duh. Of course, it hurt, said, rubbing the spot on my head where she hit me.

" That means you're not dreaming. This is real ! " She said, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

" You're mistaken for a billionaire's daughter. Oh. My. God ! " She giggled and flopped down on the bouncy bed. "

I've always wanted a bed like this. " She rolled over, her front pressed on the bed as she laughed manically.

" Bryle, " I frowned down at her.

" This is wrong, " said, watching her get comfortable on the bed.

" It's not, Sophia. "

" Get up. We can't do this ! We have to get out of here. " I exclaimed, trying to pull her up by grabbing her arm and tugging at it.

" Go away, " she said, shrugging my hand off of her and stuffing her face into a pillow.

" bryle ! How can you be so calm about this ? !

We have been freaking kidnapped ! By billionaires ! "

" And that's awesome, right ? "

" No, it's not. We should get out of here ! "

" No, we shouldn't. " She said stubbornly.

" You are not using your brain. We have been kidnapped. They could be lying about all this, " I bellowed.

" Keep it down, will you ? ! I won't get out of here. "

" Shut up, Bryle. We have to. Now ! " I said, looking around the room frantically to search for an escape other than the door.

There was a window adjacent to the bed whose curtains were pulled down.

I skipped to it, finding the much needed escape route.

Bryle could go to hell. As I pulled the curtains aside, my eyes widened and my mouth swept the floor when I saw the view in front of me.

Bryle sure wasn't kidding when she said they were billionaires.

I stepped closer, my nose smashing against the cool glass of the window as I took in the sight in front of me.

We were maybe, two or three stories high.

Their was a water fountain directly in front of the entrance with a round driveway around it.

The round driveway merged into one which further deepened away from the mansion, in a straight path which led to a tall gate.

The huge driveway was lined with tall trees and fenced heavily for protection.

On ' one side was a tennis court, and on the other was a big garden blooming with all kinds of flowers.

There were three cars parked in the driveway but I suspected there would be an underground parking where they must have kept their other cars.

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I realized the cars were damn expensive.

So expensive that only billionaires could afford them.

One was a sleek black Aston Martin Vanquish, the other was a yellow Porsche 918 Spyder and the third one was a silver Maybach Exelero.

" Why do you look like you just saw the Godzilla ? " Bryle asked from behind me.

" Oh my God, " I exclaimed.

" These cars, Bryle ! Oh my God, they are so expensive, " I continued to stare at those beautiful cars with a finger pointed at them.

Bryle's footsteps neared me.

" Wow ! " She said, putting her hands on the window and pressing her own nose against it.
