Chapter 12.1

"Kim, what is the meaning of this?"

"This is not your office, you are in my world now, so watch how you speak to me. Anyway I am just helping out my fianc??."

"What fianc???" I asked her confused.

Ted came down the stairs and lightly kissed Kim as realization dawned upon me.

"You are going to suffer for the way you treated me. I can't even get a job because of you."

"When I get out of here, you will both pay dearly for this," I told them.

Before I knew it Ted slapped me so hard my chair toppled down.

"Bring her to the tub," he said as one of the man untied me and dragged me to the tub filled with water and threw me into the water.

Ted ordered chubby to take Ethan out of the room.

"Mama!" Ethan cried out as fresh tears cascaded down his cheeks.

"Ethan! Where are you taking him? Leave my son alone or else!"

"Or else what? What are going to do?" he asked with a grin on his face, as I continued to hear my sons?? cries behind the door. "I hear you cannot swim, let?? s have some fun," Ted said as Kim left the room.

"How, do you know this?"

The next thing I knew I was being held under the water as I thrashed violently to get myself some much needed air before I passed out. I woke up to someone blowing their stinky breath into my mouth.

"Don't leave us yet boss lady, I still need to make you suffer, the same way I have suffered these past few months."

"You are a pathetic little man, to have others do your dirty work," I spat as he came and gave me a swift kick in the ribs.

"Shut up," or I will let these men kill your son the same way they did your boyfriend.

This went on, on a daily basis as they drowned and resuscitated her, up to the point she lost track of how many days she had been down there. They refused to let me see Ethan as they continuously tortured me.

"Well it seems your boyfriend survived, too bad he can't find you."

"What do you really want from me Ted? Are you not tired of this sick game," I whispered.

"Oh don't worry I will get what I want very soon," he chuckled as he left the room.

The only thing she held onto was that Ethan was alive.

If you want to see your rose ever again, bring $20 000 000 to this location. If I see any police she is dead.

Michael crumbled the paper in his fist as he slammed his fist on the table, making Greg and Benjamin look at him.

"The kidnappers want money."

"Give it to them," Greg said in a deadpan tone. "Trust me, I just spoke to Jackson he found out where they are holding her. Benjamin will take the money in your place and we will head up to the location. I don't want them to know we have a lead, and also don't tell anyone. Who know who else is working with them?"

"Very well," Michael said as they headed out of his office.

"Phil get the man ready, we are going to party tonight. We have fresh meat to add to purgatory," he said as they headed to the bank to get the money.
