The Unholy Matrimony - Chapter 14
Andrew had formed a perfect trap for Hunter, and this will involve kidnapping his wife which he already knew was a major weakness for him. Tonight he will make sure everything will go exactly as planned and nothing will go wrong this time. Maybe he'll put a few twists by involving Phoebe's family since planning this trap can be exciting but a bitch sometimes.
"Prepare for the task tonight!
I want everything to go as planned without any slack," Andrew ordered.
"Will be arranged as you
desired!" replied one of his men.
Hunter had thrown a grand ball for
the 1st wedding anniversary tonight and he's busy at getting the party to be as
spectacular and entertaining exclusively for Phoebe. There already few
celebrities spotted in the well-dressed partiers. Some corporate guests already
gathered around and still there would be a lot more after this.
He walked into Phoebe's room and
caught her getting dressed. She blushed a bit and asked, "Can you help me
with the zipper?" She pointed at the dress zipper. Inside she was wearing
a caramel bra that tantalized him more. He pulled the zipper up slowly and
pulled her towards him. She looked so beautiful tonight that he almost
breathless.
"You made me fall in love with
you over and over again," he whispered. His hand never stopped caressing
her shoulder. She shivered with his every touch.
"We'll entertain our guest
first, that will be done later!" she smiled.
He led her through the crowd and
announced, "Everyone, I would like to introduce you to my beautiful wife,
Phoebe Halliwell!"
Everybody cheered and the band
started playing.
The atmosphere was simply
intoxicating and they having a time of their lives there for a moment.
The assassins and other Andrew's
loyal men were positioned to place to ensure they can captured Phoebe in a
swift moment without anyone noticing and they already had their own form of
chloroform and other things prepared. Tonight, all the things that Andrew had
planned for months would be successfully executed.
"I thought you forgotten about
it!" Phoebe headed towards the balcony and turned around. Hunter held her
from behind and surprised her.
"I won't forget something
important for both of us. We've gone through all the good and bad things in our
marriage," he answered.
"I don't care if my memory
never comes back. As long as we are happy together that's all that
matters!" she confessed.
"Well I need to attend our
guests inside. Are you sure you'll be okay here alone?" Hunter seems
uneasy. He kept a wary look over her.
Phoebe grinned, "Its okay, go
enjoy the night. I'll be fine here."
He kissed her good night and strode
off to the hall to entertain his guests. Phoebe can't help imagining how
perfect her lives can be now. Many women kept wishing and longing for it but
she got it all in a blink of an eye.
While she was lost in her thought, a
pair of mysterious hands grabbed hold on her from behind and a terrifying
scream left without getting noticed. Andrew got her now and its bargaining time
tomorrow.
Hunter went back to the balcony and
surprised to see nobody there. Everything felt chilled and empty and he finally
noticed Phoebe's shawl that she worn just now. Could she be kidnapped? But he
had secured the whole places and found no loop holes anywhere. Then maybe he
shouldn't underestimate this Andrew guy all along because there's more than
what he got under his skin.
His phone rang. Click. "Hello
who's there?"
The voice from the other line spoken
sarcastically, "Don't you remember pal?"
Enraged, Hunter increased his tone,
"Who is it, damn it! I know you have her! Bring her back and I would spare
you!"
The voice laughed, "Ha ha ha
ha...not so fast. We had a bargain. Something for your wife. I'm thinking
something a bit more creative."
Hunter got annoyed completely,
"What do you had in mind! Just say it!"
The stranger gave the phone to
Phoebe, who already tied to the chair nearby, "Honey, don't do anything
and don't give him anything. It's a trap...!" Andrew snatched the phone
from her and continued.
"I believe you have only 48
hours to do this as quickly as you can!"He teased. "If not I'll bring
her back to you but in corpse form only...!" Click.
I'll save
you no matter what it cost, he thought.
At Andrew's place, Phoebe was
struggling to free herself from the ropes that tied her to the chair. She
noticed a lighter nearby and trying unsuccessfully to get to the corner to
reach it. After few failed attempts, she rested for a while and looked around
her surrounding. Then, she heard a knock on the door and pretended to be asleep.
A beautiful young woman below her
age came over to feed her, "Maam, you need to eat something today. You
already skipped breakfast." She sounded worried and handed Phoebe a tray
completed with a plate of sliced bread, a mug of milk and some butter cheese
spread.
"Phoebe turned over and looked
at her meal. She was hungry but nothing can distract her from getting her way
out of here. She thought she should ate to gain her strength to escape.
The young woman looked at her
admiringly. Phoebe paused and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing
here?"
She smiled, "I'm Amanda,
Andrew's mistress. I'm here to attend you."
Phoebe returned to her mug, sipping
the hot milk, "how long have you been here with him...as you know?"
He kidnapped me from my ancestor's
home and locked me here. He's an animal and I never dared to contradict him
even once. He'd raped me maybe soon he'll going to kill me too!" She told
her all her story from his abusive ways that led to her baby's abortion.
Phoebe snapped, "You just cool with
that! That guy should be taught a lesson on how to treat woman!" She rose
up and paced back and forth.
She knelt beside Amanda, "Can
you help me escape here? Tonight and I want you to follow me!"
Amanda hesitated for a moment, and
then replied, "I don't know. I'm scared we might get caught and killed
like the rest...”
"How many are there before
me?"Phoebe curiously asked.
Amanda sadly nodded, "Few maybe
5 of them. He's ruthless!"
Back at the manor, Hunter was
dealing with the task armed forces to search for his wife and he also had deal
with the bank to accommodate the sum of money to free her from Andrew's
clutches. He don't care anymore about his power, money and fame because all he
needed now was Phoebe.
"We need to find her,
fast!" he ordered. He clenched his fist and rose from his chair.
"We'll do our best in this
mission," the lead armed force reassured him.
"You must! I want him to be
caught alive so I can beat the hell out of him!" he snapped.
Hunter entered his lair and turned
on his computer. There was a new email awaited his reply. He clicked it open. Oh,
from him!
