Chapter 101: Safe from that beast
Chapter 101: Safe from that beast
Eva was called again and she cut the cake with her parents and grandparents. Eva saw the gifts pile from those so-called state administration people and frowned. She liked the simple bracelet which the trio gifted her than those piles.
All had dinner first before all started to drink and socialize. The youngsters were around the pool with loud music dancing and enjoying themselves. The rest were inside as few networked and some left to their places.
Amelia and Rowan had left feeling annoyed when a few struck conversation to build a relationship.
Alan and Isaac were having drinks looking outside. "Isaac, what do you think about Ms.Miller?"
Isaac drowned his glass, "Nothing!"
Alan furrowed his brows. He knew Isaac saying nothing means there was something. He wanted to ask but gave up thinking to ask when they would meet him at his villa.
Eva fought with her parents for not letting her go to her friends and trying to make her talk to men. Her father agreed to her seeing her cry in disapproval due to his arrangements. Her mother consoled her and sent her to her room for changing the dress.
She freshened up knowing her classmates waiting for her and wore a short dress before joining them.
Slowly everyone started to disperse and Isaac left too when his driver reached to pick him. Alan was thinking to leave but seeing Aria laughing with all, he thought to let her enjoy and waited for them.
After some time, Aria excused herself to use the washroom in the guestroom. After washing her hands while leaving she started to feel uncontrollably sleepy making her shake her head and wash her face but nothing affected and her sleepiness was overtaking her.
She tried to move but couldn't manage to balance on her heels. Reaching her mobile she had managed to click on the power button before drifting to sleep...

When Aria opened her eyes she was in a completely unknown strange place on the bed in a bedroom.
Her head was feeling heavy. Her ankle was paining which was swollen and she didn't remember getting hurt. If her leg hit on something in her sleep, she would have woken up so her doubt of somebody targeting her confirmed.
She got her mobile from her pocket and saw it was half-past eleven at night and she remembered seeing the wall clock in the guest room in Miller villa at quarter to eleven.
'Am I in the miller villa?'
'Why didn't Alan take me back to the Morgan mansion?'
Holding her head, she tried to lean on the headrest and dialed Alan's number to realize there was no telecommunication service. She heard a faint voice from outside but she couldn't hear it completely.
She wanted to check outside and got up but she fell down due to pain. While getting up she saw a photo frame on the bedside side table and trembled intuitively.
It was Toby Lewis.
She tried to remain calm and looked out of the window to realize she was in some apartment on some higher floors around fifteen.
She knew he was taking revenge but she wasn't sure what he wanted. If money related, she wouldn't care.
'What if me?'
Aria gulped and tried to be clear-minded looking at the room door. After removing the heels she limped towards the bathroom and locked it thinking to buy some time if Toby enters inside.
If it was the first-floor or the ground-level floor, she would have tried to escape from windows but she didn't have that choice.
She restarted mobile in her trembling hands but there was no network. She checked all the settings to confirm there was nothing wrong with the mobile.
She realized they had used a transmitter for jamming the signals.
Her ankle swelling was increasing greatly giving her pain but she knew it wasn't the time to cry for it.
Thinking she might get network in the balcony, she limped towards outside and she eagerly tried and saw two dots.
She dialed Alan's private number but before she could make herself say anything or Alan could receive, Toby entered the room and laughed wickedly looking at her limping and seeing her helplessness.
Aria knew she couldn't do anything considering their physical strength. She clenched her fist tight seeing him looking at her like prey from top to toe biting his lips which disgusted her.
She moved away to another corner as she repeated to herself, 'Find a way.'
Toby had almost reached her, Aria held the railing tight and stepped on the gardening shovel which hit between his thighs and he cried in pain.
Aria quickly tried to limp away seeing him kneeling and groaning in pain but he held her hand roughly which scratched her hands. She yelled as she shrugged his hand away.
Toby was in pain and was fuming getting played by a little girl who looked fearful yet managed to use her brain to hurt him painfully.
He knew he couldn't have his way to ravish her as per the plan and could only use pictures and videos. So he quickly got up eating in his pain and followed her but he didn't think much of her.
Aria closed the balcony door on his face forcefully which made his nose bleed instantly and roared, "You b*tch!"
Aria who was trying to walk faster fell down due to her leg pain and was getting up, Toby reached her and threw her on the bed holding her arm.
Aria yelled out in pain yet she quickly reacted which made Toby jump to hold her fiercely. His calloused fingertips scratched her back as she slipped away from his hold controlling her pain.
She could feel skin layers were peeled on her back which was giving her sharp pricking pain. If she wasn't stubborn and unyielding she would have given up a long back but her pain didn't stop her and was trying her best.
Could willpower enough to be safe from that beast?
When Aria escaped from his hold, Toby fell on the bed and was getting up, Aria smashed the bedside lamp on his head giving him the pain again and again.
She ran away towards the door to escape but she had underestimated Toby who ignored his pain and again lunged at her, scaring her to core which left her no choice but to enter the bathroom and lock the door.
She kept repeating 'find a way', breathing heavily, thinking about what she could do but she had the least amount of time because Toby broke the door easily and bellowed at her, "You sl*t!"
Aria didn't get anything handy and he slapped her which made her lose balance and fell on the floor giving him the chance to get on top of her laughing scornfully.
