One Last 40

Chapter 401
Irene’s POV:
“Get in and act naturally like we are friends.” One of them said. The fear their presence has instilled in me hasn’t even allowed me to tilt my neck to the sides and see what they look like.
My inside was quivering and I knew that, how I reacted and acted would determine if I would keep living.
And I chose to live so I knew I just had to do as they directed.
“There’s a knife behind you, mess up and I will easily stab your spinal cord.” The second guy said and I instantly put on a smiling face that I knew smelled so fake. But that was the best I could do.
So the moment another one of them, who was wearing a mask unlike the other two beside me, slid the door open for me, I climbed into the van. And the two guys who threatened me climbed in after me.
“Move!” They yelled and the driver stepped on the gas, driving me to wherever they needed me to be to carry out their evil plans.
I was not a believer in any gods. But internally, I found myself praying so hard to any higher being who lived above to please come to my aid.
There was obviously no way out of this. And maybe it’s best I try to negotiate my way out of this then.
After all, I was a billionaire’s wife. I know Damien would give them any amount they requested.
Most kidnapper’s goal is to get money. And I must have underestimated my status to not remember that I am no longer the ordinary Irene Boden.
But I’m now a part of Chad’s family.
“What do you want from me?” I squeaked out as if there was a pressuring force that was clenching my throat together.
Nobody replied to my question as if my voice wasn’t even heard.
“I know you want money. Just name your price and I’ll give it to you.” I boldly stated as if the money I would be giving them was mine.
But I guess I was also trying not to fret or let them see how scared I was.
“And is that money you want to give us yours?” The driver said and the voice sounded so familiar. It was a woman’s voice. “It’s my husband’s money. He will give you guys anything you want. Just don’t hurt me and let me go freely.” I replied to them, but they all laughed in response. It was quite embarrassing when it was as if my words weren’t making sense.
But this wasn’t a matter of shame. It was a matter of survival. So they could laugh all they wanted but I will not relent until I’ve found my way out of here.
And I know it’s money they all want.
“She’s so hilarious, boss. She’s nothing like you.” One of the masked men said. And I began to wonder who this boss could be and why they were comparing me with her.
“She’s not even as hot and pretty as you. That Damien guy must be so blind and stupid.” Another one commented, and they all laughed.
“And that’s why we are doing this. We have to show both of them that their stupid game has a deep repercussion. We must

make them pay.” Another of the masked men said and my heart began to pound hard and fast.
Who were these people? And who was that woman claiming to be better than me?

Damien isn’t a celebrity and I would say it was one of his crazy fans that kidnapped me. And I’m not sure if he had many. exes before Eva. So who could it be?
“You don’t even recognize my voice in just two weeks that you didn’t see me.” The lady driving said and maybe my brain was trying not to accept the obvious fact that was glaring at me in the eye.
It just can’t be her.
Damien said he had taken care of her and there won’t be any more trouble. I know he didn’t hurt her because he’s not capable of doing harmful and dangerous things.
But why was everything in my body telling me that the woman driving and the person these masked men regarded as their boss was my step-sister? Eva.
“Just because Damien has made you feel important for two weeks, you think you have it all, yeah?” She began and the more she spoke, the more it was getting clearer that it was Eva talking.
“You think you already have all the access to the money in his account? You think he loves you already and will go to any length for you? Yeah?” She asked in a mocking tone that was riling me up. The urge to lunge at her from behind was rising in
me.
I wanted to teach her a good lesson. But I couldn’t.
And as if the masked men could tell the idea that was swirling around in my head, they glared at me.
“You better not try anything funny. Because I wouldn’t hesitate” He pulled out a small pistol, aiming at me as I gasped in fear, “-to use it on you.” He finished his threatening statement which got me trembling in fear.
But that fear didn’t shut my mouth up. I was only scared to move but I wasn’t scared to talk because this was goddamn Eva.
“Damien loves me. It’s just so hard for you to believe that. Even after all the tricks you pulled, he still ended up choosing me over you, and that’s only because he realized you were not the woman for him. Someone like you who is full of hatred and greed.” I said aloud in one breath, wishing my words were like shards of glass that could pierce all around her body.
However, I was the one who felt a resounding slap that struck my cheek in a heavy impact.
“Arrrghh!” I screamed in pain. I didn’t expect one of the men to slap me. And I certainly didn’t expect another of those masked men to pull me by my hair harshly. Tears rushed out of my eyes as I felt the stinging pain coursing through my entire face.
“You are such a foolish bitch to think you can insult me in front of my men.” She said to me with so much pride in her voice.
“And even more stupid to think Damien married you because of all that crap.” She laughed hysterically, sounding like the monster she was.
“If I’m not right, then why would you go to this length of kidnapping me?” I said while still crying because that slap was damn hard and painful. But it won’t hinder me from talking.
“Boss, we could shoot one of her legs.” One of those stupid men said. My eyes widened as I shook my head in no.
“Nah, before you do that, let me have a taste of her.” The one pulling me by my hair growled out in a tone that sounded disgusting.
“No!” I shrieked, shaking my head. “Don’t touch me with those disgusting hands of yours.” My words earned me another slap as the one pulling my hair, groped my breast harshly.

“They can do absolutely anything they want to you. I am leaving you in their hands.” Eva said as she parked the van.

“Don’t leave me with these monsters. Do whatever you want to do to me now.” I yelled at Eva, but all she did was laugh and get out of the van. I could see a small red car ahead through the windscreen. She was truly leaving.
And it was in a moment when the popular saying matched; the devil you know is better than the one you don’t know.
“Have a nice time with these monsters as you call them. Don’t worry, they’ll treat you right. I’ll come by at night to inspect all the damages they’ve caused.” She said in an annoying sing-song tone.

“Bye!” She said and shut the door. She jogged her way to the small car and before I could blink, she was already zooming off with so much exhaust in the air, trailing after her pathway.
“Where should we start with you?” One of the men said, causing my entirety to quake in fear. I can’t allow them to do anything to me.
“We should take our time. Let’s get to the warehouse first.” The moment they said that, they covered my face with a black cloth and I felt the van starting to move.
My mind deviated to Damien, Charlie, and Delores. When they don’t see me getting back soon, they will get worried. And this just isn’t how our new beginning was supposed to go.
Things weren’t supposed to go south already. I am not supposed to be in a black van with unknown men who want to have their way with me and even hurt me with the guns they possess. I was not safe.
I knew so well that life can’t keep going smoothly, I knew that there were bound to be hiccups and rough patches, but damn it! Why did the first hiccup have to be this bad?
Why did life allow my step-sister to gain power again? I thought all that happened was enough to crush her. So why did her wings have to heal and rise back to life?
Why do I have to be the victim once more? Stuck and captured in the dangerous web my step-sister had set down for me.
And there’s no hope of me getting out of this situation, especially when money isn’t their goal.
“Mmmmn, we are close to the warehouse.” One of them whispered into my ear, and fear crept back up to my chest, causing blood to pump faster into and out of my heart. My fingers began fiddling with my dress as I got a rush of heat enveloping my wholeness. Sweat consumed my entirety as my head felt light.
Whoever is up there, please send a rescue.
“We are there now!”
“It’s time to play, Barbie girl!” One sang as if what they were planning to do with me was good.
“Please, don’t do anything to me. I won’t talk back again.” I pleaded, knowing that was the only option I had left. “Please,” T added as I felt tears stinging my eyes. With the dark cloth over my head, all I could see was darkness.
“Oh no, when you beg us like this, it fuels us more.” One said as they pulled me down the van, and removed the cloth over my head.
“Please, don’t do anything bad to me,” I begged regardless, maybe one of them would have mercy and try to stop the others. “As long as you don’t struggle, fucking your pussy while another fucks your ass hole won’t be a bad thing. Just take it as an orgy party.” The tallest among them said. He was the one who slapped me. I could tell by the color of his clothes. “That’s you forcing yourselves on me, please, don’t do it.” I pleaded, hoping they even thought about what this truly meant. “Kidnapping plus rape is quite a huge offensive. What if the police arrive and catch you all?” I tried to get them scared but

they were unmoved as they pulled me closer.

“We are not amateur at this.” That same tall one pulled me closer and licked my face. I scrunched my face up in disgust but kept my mouth shut.
My mouth has done nothing but put me into more trouble.
However, if I give up right now, I am actually surrendering myself to the horrendous acts these monsters want to commit on my body.
So seeing that they were all getting invested in the pleasure they seek to gain from me, and the gun and the knife were not in sight, I lifted up my knees and hit the tall one licking my face in his balls.
I hit him so hard that he instantly went to his knees. That was my chance to
run.
And oh fucking gosh, I ran like a crazed soul even if I had no tiny inkling as to where I was. But my feet kept moving forward. Faster Faster.
“Stop running!” I heard their rushed footsteps, running after me and trying to chase me down.
My breaths were getting heavy but the adrenaline was high in me, fueling my feet to keep moving faster without slowing down.
However, the last thing I heard when I didn’t heed their warnings was a loud gunshot.
Bam!
