His fist connected with my jaw , I thought I heard the sound of the bones snapping, the resulting pain was splitting.

I couldn't stop the scream that escaped my mouth.

Hazel was beginning to cry even louder and it broke my heart even more than the splitting pain in my jaw.

"Quit struggling or she dies!" Another gruff voice snapped, impatience radiating off him.

He produced a gun, and next pressed the barrel on Hazel's temple.

"It's fine if she dies, the boss only requested for you , he didn't make mention about bringing a damn kid!"

My body shook with raw terror, any more mistakes I might just lose my daughter.

" No!Let her go!"I screamed

"mommy!" she kept crying, struggling against the huge man who held her

Three more men closed in on us and the next thing I remembered was a cloth being shoved into my face , the churning smell of chloroform infiltrated my lungs, burning until the strength slowly sipped out of me.

Not this again ..i thought

How many times could one get kidnapped in a life with?

I could hear Hazel crying.I wanted to fight, all I could do was manage to fall limp as the darkness covered me.

I fought against the binds on my wrists , it was so tight, it dug into my flesh, scrapping of the fragile skin, but I couldn't give up..

Not now.

Not ever.

After what felt like an eternity I finally broke free and started on those binding my feet.

I staggered towards the door, my fingers clenched at the knob and yanked at it.

To my surprise it gave way easily.

It had been left unlocked.

Which could only meant that they were confident I wouldn't be able to escape .

I didn't have time to worry about the danger, all I couldn't think of was searching for my Hazel.

I walked stealthily through a long hallway, I didn't bump into anyone, the house was huge.

Maybe a mansion?

I stopped in my tracks when I heard voices in heated arguments, the voices were unmistakably familiar .

I took a quiet step.

Then another.

From where I stood by the window, I could make out some things.The room was dimly lit, I couldn't make out their faces from my spot .

"You promised that you won't !That you only want money and power, then why are you doing this!"

He slapped her hard.
