СКАЧАТЬ worst!

      It meant that my friends had been in close contact with Mr. Filthy Rich. Because that is what he was in the end, and his bearing never denied it.

      However…

      «Josh tried to reject Sebastian's offer, but he couldn't hold his own. The Winterbournes car is far faster, so the three of them drove you to the medical center together», Hanna went on.

      I imagined Josh at the mercy of his emotions, locked in the cockpit of an unfamiliar car, with a Thirsty driving while his best friend had fainted out of the blue.

      Poor Josh, it will take him a week to recover.

      «Dear Christ, what a mess! What did he want from Ginger at the Moonlight?»

      What had prompted him, again, to show himself in public?

      Why did he do this?

      «Who knows? But I have to admit, Reb, that guy looks awesome.»

      I burst out laughing heartily.

      «It is difficult not to get lost in his inscrutable eyes.»

      She nodded and I stopped reflecting while we were reaching our house's street.

      A thousand queries crowded my mind. There was only one person able to give the right answers to my questions: Sebastian.

      I wanted to see him again.

      It was a burning desire that clouded everything else, burned my chest and teased my heart.

      I was going to the Black Raven Hill as soon as possible, just a little time, enough to take a shower and find a way out without attracting attention. My car was parked in front of the house door, my friends had even bothered to bring it back from the Moonlight.

      I was lucky.

      I waited until Hanna went out shopping and, right behind her, I took my car and headed down the road to the Winterbournes' mansion.

      I was driving slowly and carefully, the sun was setting and tinged the sky with purple and red, the trees were starting to get thicker and thicker, the wind whistled and made their foliage screech.

      The silence was painful to my eardrums, it made me think.

      Maybe it would have been better to wait until I had completely recovered and analyze the situation thoroughly before acting on impulse as I had done instead.

      I had the feeling that something was going wrong, that something would have caught me off guard.

      I was afraid of discovering things I had never wanted, but the doubt was even more suffocating.

      I wanted, more than anything else, to put a stop to that story. I demanded the truth, whatever it was.

      I was almost at my destination when, suddenly, a dark figure appeared before me.

      I instinctively steered, but lost control of the car. I couldn't correct the maneuver in time and ended up against a tree.

      The crash will remain indelible in my memories.

      The windshield shattered and I felt myself sucked forward. The air bag had protected me, I had bounced on it returning to a sitting position.

      My head was spinning, every part of my body was hurting and I couldn't think.

      I was scared to death.

      I moved slowly and judiciously unfastened the belt that had done its job admirably.

      A thud on the roof distracted me, it was a rumble, as if something had landed on it.

      Creaking and footsteps.

      My heart was bursting in my chest, I couldn't see anything and I was getting sick.

      Someone jumped out, I could see the outlines of two slender legs and a pair of boots on what was left of the hood.

      The mysterious figure moved fleetingly and imperceptibly, in a moment a hand grabbed me by the neck, pulled me out of the car and threw me across the road where I landed on the damp ground covered with rotten leaves.

      I slammed my pelvis to the ground, my back and finally my head.

      That was the coup de grace, I screamed in pain as I turned to the side, a keck made my stomach burn and made me throw up.

      I had to calm myself and regain consciousness.

      I needed to think quickly and as rationally as possible.

      Someone grabbed me by the feet and dragged me away, I tried to see who my attacker was but my vision was blurry and the darkness didn't help.

      I only realized there were two of them.

      I was stuck, with my face on the ground. They folded my arms on my back, tying my wrists with a rope, then proceeding also with the ankles.

      I tried to prevent the practice, but an elbow struck me in the back of my shoulders, causing me excruciating pain and, before I could react, my eyes were covered with a rough and a too tight bandage.

      «Let me go!» I tried to scream, but I couldn't, I was out of strength.

      I tried to fidget, but I was lifted off the ground and carried on someone's shoulder.

      Who the hell were those two people?

      I was terrified and angry at the same time.

      I was upside down; I felt my temples throbbing and weakness was slowly enveloping me.

      «Leave me ...» I moaned again.

      «Shut up!»

      A tense female voice broke the silence.

      «Who are you?»

      «You speak too much. Silence!».

      A second voice, similar to the first, but darker and more shadowy.

      It was a woman supporting me, she managed to keep me still with an unnatural ease despite my slender build.

      What was happening?

      I heard the creaking of a gate, the sound reached me from the distance, muffled. The breeze was caressing my skin, but not for much longer.

      We walked through a door, heavy with the noise it made while closing. A scent of sandalwood incense reached my nostrils as my two kidnappers resumed their march.

      Their footsteps echoed between the walls of that place. I hoped we arrived at our destination soon, I couldn't stand the pain in my head anymore. They climbed a ladder, a few more strides, and stopped.

      «Brother!» called the one who was carrying me.

      They untied my ankles, dropping me to the ground, where I found myself СКАЧАТЬ
