An email from the Billionaire

"Hello! Is anybody there? mom! dad?", I called as I tugged my hands which are tied to the chair I was sitting on.

"This is not funny anymore. Come on, guys. This is getting old. Untie me", I shouted my frustration as I pulled my hands with all force. It did nothing except made the rope marks on my skin more prominent.

"Scott, I swear I'm going to kill you", I said as I felt the burn on my skin. Do they have to tie this rope this tightly? What am I going to do, break out of it as if I'm the black widow?

"Mom! Dad! Nana! I swear I'm going to lodge a complaint if you guys don't untie me right now!".

You must be thinking about what family ties their only daughter in the basement? Well, my family. My crazy over-the-top family. Trust me, it happened before. This time they must have changed the location. They are improving with each abduction. Soon, they will be advertising-"Abductors for hire.
We do all kinds of abduction, just send us the photo and location. 100% success rate. Full-proof plan and execution or else cash back guarantee. The fee is non-negotiable. 
P.S- extra pay for fuel."

I used the same tactic that made them untie last time. "I need to pee...I need to pee", I started wiggling in my chair.

No noise. Nothing. Strange! If this is not my family then who? I couldn't remember how long ago I was taken.

I'm currently blindfolded and tied to a chair in some sort of dark and dingy place based on this murky scent that's making me sneeze. If I don't know any better I would say, the place is made for this kind of thing.

"Hello! Whoever you guys are, you picked the wrong girl. Is this some kind of shooting? Am I playing the part of the victim? I don't think anyone approached me for this role. FYI, I suck at acting. But if you are willing to pay a good amount I might play dead. What do you guys say?"

I waited for any response. Or the "cut" that comes when a scene was shot. Nothing. Panic slowly started seeping inside me. This is not good. No, this is not at all good. Whoever has abducted me didn't do any mistake. They really want to abduct me. Me! A baker! What do they want from a baker? Obviously, they don't want cupcakes.

"Hello! I can hear your breathing. So, please respond. Why am I taken? I'm just a baker. If you want cupcakes you must stand in a queue like everyone else. This is a tad bit extreme, don't you think?", I asked playing it cool, though my insides are shaking.

Sweat started trickling from my temple. Trepidation tingled my spine. What will they do with me? All kinds of horrible stuff started to play in my minds-eye. Rape...torture...death. Who will know where to find me? Will they reach in time for me to escape? How sadistic is the person in front of me? I couldn't tell whether he is a man or a woman. Does it matter? Yes...yes, it does.

"Listen, whoever you are, I don't have much money. In fact, if I tally the cost you spent on my abduction with my bank balance, yours will be bigger, hands down. So, please you are wasting your time", I tried to placate the person, suppressing my increasing fear from my voice as all thoughts of joviality gone from my mind.

"How about-"

I was cut off by an angry voice that said, "Oh, shut up, you bitch! I'm tired of listening to your nonsense. How could James fell in love with you! What does he see in you? You are nothing but a fat, insecure, blabbering mess! How could anyone love you?"

Hearing the female voice, I stopped my plead. How dare she? Who the hell does she think she is to question our love? Anger burned in my veins, dusting the cobwebs of the remnants of fear in my mind. I fisted my hands so tight that the skin broke from the sharpness of my nails.

"Listen here, you bitch! James is mine. He loves me. So, shove your insecurities somewhere else and LET ME GO", I shouted the last part channeling my inner badass as I searched the direction the voice came from.

Not two seconds later, I felt a sharp pain on the side of my head, making the dark scarier as I slowly lose consciousness. So much for inner badass. Inner badass, I fire you!
