CHAPTER 2: Kidnapped

It's been a week since they put me here. They allow me to roam around to this place, it was hard to guess where is the main door so even I choose to flee I can't. 

"Amora, where is Ryler?" I asked to the only woman here, she looks older than me same age with Ryler.

"Fixing the trouble you have caused," then she left me, slammed the door. 

From the black mirror of glass window, I've reflected myself who has a darker bag around my eyes but  the sleek of my hair remain. 

Walking slowly downstairs with my careful footstep because I'm hearing a voice. 

"They killed the woman and left without any marks," Zareb said. 

"Don't be dithered, we shouldn't worrying about her. She put you in vains, Ryler," Amora answered. 

I had no idea what they were talking about cause I came late. And now I'm blaming myself cause I did not hear the whole conversation. 

I stepped my foot down as I heard a footstep above the stairs. "You're not part of us to eavesdrop," he said icily. 

My mouth parted as my right hand held my chest, hiding the foreboding and out of the sudden of his presence. I just heard his voice downstair then now he was upstair. This place has a lot of latent!

"I would go downstairs to roam around... I didn't mean to heard it, it was unintentional!" I defended myself. "Why can't you just release me out of here?" I shrieked. 

Closing my eyes for a moment to release my anger without making a humilliating actions. 

He laughed coldly. "You easily turned the table to blame me, do you? I have  to fixed big because you ruined something!" he shouted but not straight to my eyes, he was avoiding my gaze. "Dress up, my father wants to see you." 

"You're really serious to marry me, huh? How about your bride before, you will just abandoned her?" 

"That's how I work, Ferriza. ten minutes for you to dress up," he commanded with finality. "Amora, give her the clothes." 

I went to a room with Amora carrying a paper bags which a clothes they bought for me. She didn't leave immediately, she has something to say but couldn't let it out. It's conundrum for me that Ryler can marry her instead of me if it is just fake, Amora could act better. 

I took a deep breath. "What?" I asked sluggish. 

"I pity you, Ferriza."

"What does it mean?" I replied. 

"Nothing," then she turned her head to the door but I held her wrist tightly. "You have no rights to hold me like that... you're just an intruder." I almost fell because of her strength as she grabbed her hands from me. 

Silence filled the car because no one of us talking until we reached their company. All caught his attention as he walked inside with me, I, was lowered my head behind him. It screams that he was respected and powerful. 

"Where is dad?" Ryler spoke to the man he looks like. 

"In his office, talking to Stormi, brother." His eyes landed at me and left. 

Their buildings decorated in the shape of white and black, there's no any color aside from a things here. The name plate was engraved in gold. No one dares to steal it, huh. 

"I thought it troubled you, Stormi. I will set a dinner for your parents to talk what happened. I really like you for my son but I respected that you set a boundaries."

"Thanks, uncle. I'm very much happy that my best friend does not need me anymore because he has someone already, they are here already, uncle!" 

I got fooled as well as Chloe. God! I can't believe the wedding is not true and they're not a couple but best friend, this embarassments me. Chloe should be in my position right now not me. 

"Good luck, Ryler and to you dear. His  father has a lot to say." Stormi chuckled sweetly before shutting close the door. 

"Despite of your bad personality you still have friends that oppose to you," I said in a small voice. 

He became sweet in front of his father, put his hands onto my waist extra careful not agressive as he is. Guztavo, his father was just watching us. I can't see the anger I saw inside the chapel. 

"Both of you suited to each other." The old man let out a short laugh. "You're good fooling the old man." 

Ryler just laughed while I was lowering my head because of shame. "Dad, you know how I badly d****e to be CEO and Stormi conspire me through marrying her... but now, I promise, I will do better."

"So I'm giving it to you. I will be out of the country for months... I want the wedding to occur as soon as possible, tommorow probably." He smirked. 

"But," I butt in. "So fast?" I asked out of a sudden. 

"Yes, hija. It'll take longer if you're pregnant but it turns out you fooled me too maybe you love my son that much," he answered smiling. "I'm tired of waiting if it will take three-months again."

"Don't worry, babe. We have organizers to think of it... and marrying you right away can generate child... our first born." 

"Son... take it easy for her. Is it final? We will make your wedding grandest." 

Grandest and first child? These is not my dream and I hope it's a dreamt  of mine which won't happen in reality. But for mom, I will do it. I want to see her right away. 

"Will you let go of me if I tell you who behest me to ruin your fake wedding?"

"Chloe Wong, was she?" 

"Is she related to you?" I asked. 

"She's the ex-girlfriend of mine. My father used to hates her after the accident that happen two-year-ago. I had no idea because I was in abroad, I didn't mind to investigate it because I don't care." 

Our conversations seems we're not hate each other. He was driving while answering a calls to his phone. He halted his car at the drive thru, he let me ordered something I want because he's busy on his phone. 

"Put the eyemask on you, we're heading to my place," he said not giving me a look. 

"Why do I need to have it if I will be your wife?" 

"Wife who I couldn't trust. I can't share to you my secrets, Ferizza," he straightforwardly said and covered my eyes before he drove fast. 

It's worthless to argue with him, he always wants to be followed even you are oppose. He took off the eyemask without us talking, better for me to shut my mouth. 

From the foyer, looking around in each door. I saw some youth holding their guns and knife, some were punching the punching bag. 

"I can't believe to you, you're putting their lives in futile." These youth has to enjoy their teenager years not  through this. 

These youth has life to enjoy without handing these kind of hurtful equipment. They can learn sports, bond with their friends, and talk about their lives with happiness not madness. 

"Ask them why they join. Ferriza, you know nothing... you didn't experience the life they lived in that's why you are saying that." He left me to enter the one room. 

They stopped from their doings due to Ryler's presence. They bow respectedly as they fall in line then Ryler's looked at me like he won in something. 

"They are not wasting lives, Ferriza. One day, you will choose to become them." Marimo stood beside me. 

"I will never become like this... my mother never taught me of being one of you." 

I came back to my room where they put me. All of my needs where complete even my wants because Ryler gave me everything even I didn't ask to have. 

A young boy delivered me my food, after few minutes Ryler came inside to my room with his hood and big red box. 

"Why?" I shortly asked. 

"Is it bad now to eat with you?" he asked creasing his forehead. 

"Yeah, especially if you're naked!" 

I awkwardly look away, he was not wearing anything on his top then he has a guts to enter my room. I placed my food in a small table and he followed me, still not wearing a clothes.  

Even I try not to look at him, he was getting my attention. 

"You can't resist not to look, huh," he spoke. 

"Your piercing got my attention... all of you here has a skull earrings on the right side?" I asked, thinking if he will answer me. 

"That's our sign." He smirked eerie. 

"How did you come up doing this? Do you... kill?" I asked once again nervously. 

Now, he didn't respond fast he was gazing at me intently. "Yes. Stop asking me. You should rest early because later we will head to our house." 

After we finished eating, Ryler still stayed here in my room. I can't sleep thinking of my mom. I know Lucy, my best friend would help her and they are surely finding me. I was praying to God that tomorrow I will be going to see her after the wedding. 

I'm not sure what awaits me there but the more important is to be with my mom. She has no idea that I will be marrying one of the richest person in our country. 

"Ryler..." I called, even I closed my eyes I could sense that he still here. 

"Mm?" 

"After the wedding I want to see my mother... please," my voice almost begged him, teary eyes. I sat on my bed to see him clearly. 

He looked directly on my eyes. "S... sure. After the event, we will try to flee from the media." 

My day ended with a heavy heart even the sun brights up. I'm just lonely here with the makeup artist, the wedding was just extravagant for this kind of setup. 

"Would you mind asking me where's your parents, madame?" the gay makeup artist asked me. 

"They... are dead." Ryler reminded me not to answer honestly if someone asks me. 

"Oh. I'm sorry," she apologized. 

I had to interact with the other people I've never met though I saw some of my classmates before, and some of them are feeling close to me now after belittling me during classes. 

"Gosh. What did you use to be his wife, Pastrana?" 

I should use my advantages now. "Just my beauty and good personality, Nixi." I left them at the hotel. 

I can't count the guards wherein surrounds on the venue but Amora is nearer on me. She was wearing an black suits like an assasin, eye glasses and earphone. Seems she had to hide for something. 

I came near to her. "Will you not change your clothes?" 

"Stupid!" she roam around her eyes. "Don't come to me, act like you don't know me." She immediately distanced herself from me. 

Someone assisting me going in the venue. She held me inside the guard, while others were touching my gown extra careful because it was long and aground on the floor. 

A lot of cameras were flashing on my face. Fortunately, the guards are coming on my way to protect me from them. They just stopped when I will walk to the red aisle. 

As the brown gate open widely to welcome me, I saw a lot of people more than I expected. It just show how big the circle they have now. His father was crying as if his son are truely marrying me. 

"Look at them... these people truly believe that I'm marrying you because I love you," he said huskily directly on my ears. 

I gave them a glance before I faced the priest and he started the ceremony. The father asked Ryler to be my husband and he said yes without skeptic and now it is my turn.

 "Ferriza Keith Pastrana, do you take Giz Ryler Maravilla to be your husband? Will you promise to be with him all the time through heaviness and smoothness, in hard times and good times? And love each other everyday even there is trial?" The father asked me. 

I tilted my head to Ryler and stare how attractive his gray eyes and went to his ears because his piercing looks stunning. "I... do, father." 

We took our vows. I didn't expect to be married with someone I intruded the wedding. To someone who has secrets to everyone.
