Chapter 13 New Room
MIA
I held onto Jay Jay as I stared at the spacious room.
Spacious and luxurious. It reminds me of Axel's place.
The tall red curtains, high ceiling, rose ceiling in the middle and a small chandelier hanging down from the rose ceiling. My eyes moved further and I froze at the sight of a black CCTV with a tiny glowing red light.
I gulped as his terrifying threat replayed in my head.
He said he will be watching me.
Could he.... Could he be watching me right now?
"Mia, this is Coco," Caleb, as he is called, said, making me turn to him.
I saw a white girl with brunette hair dressed in a familiar maid's attire standing next to him and looking at me with a bright smile.
I let out a tiny relieving breath.
She is the first white person I have seen since I got kidnapped.
"She is one of the maids and she will be assisting you from now on. Whatever you need for Lil Kai, you let her know," he said and walked out of the room.
I watched as he closed the door, leaving me and Jay Jay with the maid and adding to my misery.
God, this is really happening to me.
I looked around the house again, my heart still pounding and I felt tears approaching again.
"So um...Hi, I am Coco, as he said. Nice to meet you," Coco said, claiming my attention.
"Nice to....nice to meet you too," I muttered as I caressed Jay Jay's back.
His head is resting on my shoulder and giving me a little comfort amid all this chaos as I look around me again.
The queen-sized bed is well arranged with a pink and blue duvet, black couches at the side, and a glass table in between them.
The room is very beautiful and all but this is not good.
This is terrible.
I am a hostage here.
I am being kidnapped and given a nice but dangerous job.
"You can place him in his crib. I think he is asleep now," Coco said, and like on routine, Jay Jay's snores filled my ear.
I cradled him in my arms, making him make a move. I moved towards the baby blue crib that has the name 'Lil Kai' written boldly in royal blue.
Lil Kai.
That's his real name.
I also heard Jamal.
His name is Lil Kai Jamal.
I leaned down the crib, moving him to place him in it gently but his tiny fist held a strand of my hair. I endured the pull as I placed him gently.
Slowly and gently, I unwrapped his fist and stood up straight as more thoughts filled my head.
I heard that heartless woman calling his father Kai.
That explains the 'Lil Kai'
Jay Jay is the little version of him.
That also means that Jamal is his actual name and...
"So...." Coco snatched me from my thoughts. "Since he is asleep, you can go in and take your bath or something. You look a mess,"
I looked at myself. I am still in my drained mom jeans and brown blouse.
I rubbed my arms nervously, moving my eyes to the CCTV.
"One negative thing from you and your head will be my new basketball,"
Cold shivers ran down my spine like they did when he said that horrible thing.
"But first I will shave your hair and style it on a dummy so Lil Kai can play with it as much as he wants."
God, what have I gotten myself into?
"I will just head out and get you something to wear tonight," Coco said, making me look at her.
"Hopefully before tomorrow, there will be provisions for you." She said.
I lowered my gaze, still rubbing my arms.
"I didn't get your name," she said.
I looked at her momentarily.
"Mia,"
"Nice. Welcome to Kincaid Mansion, Mia."
I looked at her.
She smiled at me.
I forced a tiny smile.
"I will be right back," she said, heading out.
I attempted to speak but she headed out before I could utter a word.
"Don't go," I whispered, staring at the door.
Tears filled my eyes as I looked around me again.
I massaged my wrists where I was chained for God knows how long as I continued studying the room.
I saw double doors to what I think is a closet and another door which could be the bathroom.
Tears rolled out but I wiped them off instantly as I looked around again.
My eyes rested on the CCTV again.
The little red glowing light is just there, staring at me.
I lowered my gaze, moving to the edge of the bed. I sat on it, thinking about my pathetic life.
This is the peak of it.
This is the peak of my pathetic life.
I am being kidnapped.
And no one knows about it.
I don't have anything with me.
No phone. Nothing.
How will Mom and Axel reach me?
I have no idea where I am.
I can't tell if I am still in New York.
When they took was during the day. Now it is late.
They must have transported me here for hours or something.
I don't know!
I have no idea where I am!
Oh God.
I dropped my face on my palms, letting out silent sobs as I recalled that night I found Jay Jay.
I can't say I should have left him. That will be inhumane.
But look at me now.
I almost got killed.
I WILL get killed if I commit a negative thing.
He will chop my head off and....
God, his icy blue eyes sent terrifying shivers done my spine.
They felt like I was looking at the devil.
My heart dropped into my belly several times.
What am I going to do?
I can't stay here.
I can't.
Oh, Jay Jay.
I looked towards his crib.
I got on my feet and walked towards him.
I placed my hand on the crib, staring at my sleeping little friend.
No matter what is happening now, I don't regret saving you.
I really don't regret it.
That's a good thing I am proud of.
I will do it over again if I get the opportunity again.
I let out a sigh, wiping my tears with my two hands.
A slight knock came on my door, claiming my attention. It opened, revealing Coco. She has a peach night gown in her hand, approaching the bed.
"You are not in the bathroom yet?"
I didn't respond but lowered my gaze.
"You need to shower and change so you can sleep well. I will come back with a meal in an hour." She said, awakening my taste buds the minute she mentioned food.
She walked out of the room and closed the door.
I looked at the night gown on the bed.
I walked towards it and picked it up, feeling the soft texture.
I looked at the CCTV.
It is right at the end of the ceiling opposite the bed.
I lowered my gaze on the gown, staring at it.
I picked up courage and headed towards the bathroom with the gown in my hand.
Getting into the bathroom, the luxury almost made my jaw drop.
No CCTV, just shiny and white spotless things. A bathtub, a shower stand, a toilet, and white towels hung on a steel hanger.
I caught a mirror above the sink and I stared at myself in it.
My hair is almost dry but messy too. I ran my fingers through my hair, staring at myself as I thought about how it had been for me.
The past week has been great thanks to Jay Jay.
I got zero calls from both my mom and Axel.
It broke my heart a bit and I didn't even find the courage to call them.
I sent Axel a text once but he didn't reply.
What if he replies now and I am not able to answer?
He is going to be worried.
I felt tears coming again.
I sniffled, inhaled, and exhaled to calm myself.
Just take a shower first, Mia.
Take a shower.
Jay Jay is here with you.
Just take a shower.
I sniffled again and began taking off my clothes.
I hung them in the huge space remaining on the hanger.
I moved towards the shower stand. The bathtub looks tempting but I haven't used one before.
Mostly showers.
I stood under the shower head and turned it on. A whimper escaped my lips as the cold water hit my skin harshly.
My wrist and cheeks stung as the water hit them.
My wrist thanks to the chains and my cheek thanks to the hard slaps.
I sobbed, hugging myself.
I covered my mouth as I took the water. I don't want to wake Jay Jay.
It is late and possibly past his bedtime.
My heart tightened as I recalled the way I was slapped and the water was harshly poured on me.
I could hardly breathe.
It was awful.
So awful.
No one should go through that.
Oh God.
Help me.
Help me come out of this.
Please.
HALF AN HOUR LATER.....
I walked out of the bathroom dressed in a nightgown. It stopped right at my knees. My breasts hung in a pointy form, making me hug myself securely.
I looked at the CCTV nervously.
The glowing red light felt like an actual human eye.
I withdrew my eyes from it and let out a sigh as I moved to the crib.
Jay Jay is sleeping sounding.
My heart melted as always whenever I look at his cute sleeping face.
I smiled at him, leaning down to caress his cheek but a knock on the door made me freeze.
Coco is here with the meal.
I think.
I stood up straight, staring at the door and waiting for it to open like it did the first time.
It didn't.
I furrowed my brows.
The knock came again.
