Chapter 8 - The kidnap
The Kidnap
Helsi's POV
I used the elevator, unlike my regular days when I used the stairs, walking up for hours to clear my head. Today must be a good day
"A breath of fresh air" Helsi said as she inhaled deeply, opening her office.
Helsi walked slowly, going to the displayed picture of my supposed ex-husband
"Son of a…" Helsi took the picture and throwing it to the trash close by "That's right, just where you belong" She sanitised her hands as if her hands were rubbed around sticky muds
"I can't wait to see how that bitch toil with his life" she said to herself laughing, as she went to sit down
Ava knocked at the door
"A guy is here to see you ma'am" Ava said with her head lowered
"He doesn't have an identity?"
"He doesn't want to say, he said he decides to remain recluse" Ava responded
"Get out!, don't get in here again until he reveals his identity, you clearly know how I hate it when you get in and tell me that a stranger wants to see me" Helsi said in a rather calm tone
"Yes ma'am, I am sorry about this, it won't happen again" Ava said going out of her office
"Thank you, at least get some information for me, just a name would be better please let the person know" Helsi said
Ava came back in few seconds
"He gave his name, Butrico Santrima"
"Huh?" Helsi was in shock
"He is Butrico Santrima" Ava repeated
"Let him in please" Helsi said almost immediately
Helsi adjusted her down and hair, she wanted to look her best
"You are welcome" Helsi said as she stood going for a handshake
"My pleasure" Butrico kissed her hand
"Please" Helsi said pointing towards the chair for him to sit
"Thank you"
"What do I owe you for this visit?" Helsi asked knowing fully well why he is here
"You look very beautiful… gorgeous, I've heard alot about you. So I came to see for myself"
"And who is the source of your information about me?"
"I saw your message" Butrico Santrima "that was how I was able to reach out to you that morning"
"Well.." Helsi fell short of words, her hands becoming sweaty. No doubt she sent a message, but she had already pretended that he was a stranger "Erhm, it's good to meet you" words finally came out
"Don't be nervous, I don't bite" Butrico Santrima noticed
"What brings you here?" Helsi did not play along, she was interrupted again by a knock on the door
"Ma'am Nancy is here to see you" Ava said, staring at Butrico Santrima, she had never seen a guy sit so passionately around Helsi except her husband. It was weird, yet another topic for gossip
"Thank you Ava, I would be out in a minute"
"OK" Ava said as she left
"My sister, its urgent" Helsi told Butrico Santrima
"Take your time"
"Thank you, just sit right here, I would be back" Helsi said
Nancy was sitting at Ava's office, wondering why Helsi did not let her in
"Who is more important than your sister?" Nancy slammed Helsi immediately she saw her
"I am sorry I couldn't let you in, it's a meeting and you came earlier than we agreed on"
"I was lonely, we still got some time, finish up your meeting" Nancy said "I would be here waiting"
"OK" Helsi blew a kiss as she walked back to her office
"Thank you for your patience" Helsi said to Butrico Santrima, closing her door
(Gun shots)
Helsi fell to the floor on hearing the sound of the gunshots
"What is happening?" Butrico Santrima went to the ground with Helsi
"I… my sister" Helsi stood
"Hey, calm down, where is she?" Butrico pulled her to the ground
"How did they go pass my securities, I am getting them fired"
"We have to survive this first" Butrico said
"I have to go check on my sister" Helsi became more frightened as the gunners came closer
Helsi crawled to Ava's office as quiet as she could only to find the most devastating news ever
"They took her,"
"What?" Helsi shouted, she did not care about being quiet any longer as the sound of the shooting grew louder
The world around her became ghostly, she tried to regulate her thoughts and her breathing, as the weather seems to be getting colder.
Time lost all meaning to her, her cheeks stinging,
It was then that Helsi murmured an almost forgotten prayer from her childhood……...a little something to her guardian Angel begging for help.
