Lily...where had I seen the name_ it rang a bell...YES! I saw it in one of the files at Adrian's house but why Sam? Where did the Sam come from.

My body ached all over as I wiggled in the chair, still trying to free my hands. It had been twenty four hours already and no one was calling to check up on her...Sam would but given our situation and the ill-treatment, I was doubting big time. I scanned around the empty room for something to use and cut the ropes but all I saw were stones and more ropes.

'Your line has been ringing like crazy,' I heard Lily say as she entered the room. 'Your boss...Adrian...whatever has sent multiple messages and your friend Sam has called too.'

'What have I done to you, eh? I haven't spoken to you before and we don't even see...so kilode?' I asked her, my throat hurting from the fake sobs...no way was I crying in front of this paycho girl.

She cupped my face in her hand...she had faint blue eyes and she was so beautiful...what made her this cruel and terrible. 'The problem in that office is you, Sam and other people who feel they are better than others. You guys have it perfect... best friends for life; you hardly recognize other people...even people like me,' her voice became low and I saw sadness written over her face but quickly changed to a frown.

'Where is Eric? How do you have his phone?' I asked her. He was the reason I was in this mess.

'You will be reunited soon,' she said and laughed loudly. What did she mean by reunited?

Hours later

I woke up with a severe headache...I was so parched and hungry. My eye sight was so faint due to my pounding head.

'Becky... Becky! Are you alright?' I looked at the person talking...I knew who he was...Eric. I opened my eyes wide.

'What happened Eric? Why are you here? The last thing I remember was a message you sent to meet in Hunter lane.

'I didn't send that message...I was abducted by some guys I don't know...I was blindfolded and beaten and next thing, I heard you were here too. Thank God you're safe.'

I couldn't believe it...'How long will they keep us here?' I asked him, fear clouding my entire being. I heard footsteps and Eric quickly hushed me, pretending to be asleep; funny enough I did the same.

'Wakey wakey love birds...' Lily said. Oh the things I planned in my head to do to her.

'What do you want Lily...or Sam or whatever name you have...how much do you want?' That got her angry and she kicked my chair down, my back slamming on the stones and dust...I whimpered.

'I don't want your money bitch...I want what's mine...I want Adrian.' I looked at her. Now I remembered where I had met Lily...she was Adrians former assistant before I stopped seeing her in the main office.

'I don't own him Lily...' I said nonchalantly.

'I see the way he looks at you...I notice how he cares about how you feel. He made you assistant and he didn't know you at all. You took everything from me Becky...now I'll take something back.' she responded and cleaned the tears from her face. 'Bring her in,' she said. I looked at the door and I couldn't believe what was happening...Eric looked too in amazement and back at me.

'No... please no,' was all I could say before I broke down.
