My mother was so calm , and I tried to make her proud by staying as calm as I could .
It wasnt easy under these circumstances , but I was sure I was doing better than Amandla .
I could hear her heavy , frightened breathing nearby , and I knew she was panicking .
Several minutes passed with almost no sound , then the kidnappers started to speak to each other again .
I gave him the drop points , one of them said .
Hell be bringing the money .
And our people are in place ? the one who seemed to be the leader asked .
Theyre ready for it , was the reply .
Good .
Then all we have to do is wait , the leader said .
The sound of chairs scraping nearby told me they were sitting down, followed by their quiet chatter and the smell of cigarette smoke .
It seemed they were going to leave us alone as they waited , which was a relief .
If David really had agreed to ransom , then maybe we would get out of this unharmed .
It was the best case scenario , really , But the longer we waited , the more afraid I became , and the more agitated the kidnappers grew .
What is taking so long ? the leader demanded .
Call our guys at the drop point .
I want an update .
pay the Yes , sir , one of the men said .
After a few moments of hushed speaking into the phone , I heard a hand collide .
heavily with the wooden table .
The sound startled me so much that I jumped in my seat ..
He didnt show , the man said , his voice tight with frustration .
That bum stood us up .
Does he think this is a joke ? the boss asked angrily .

Well need to hurt one of you , the man replied .
That way , he knows not to take us so lightly .
Dont hurt me ! Ella is his fiance , Amanda cried out .
Dad would be most worried about her ! I felt a rough hand grip my chin tightly , and then something cold pressed against my cheek .
Well see how he likes your pretty face after 1 drag my knife across it , the man sneered .
My heart was hammering , and I felt like I couldnt breathe Please dont , I said as calmly as I could .
Hurting me will do nothing to get a reaction from him .
Is this the part where you try to convince me that you two broke up ? the leader asked sarcastically .
Save your breath , princess .
I felt the blade press into my cheek , and then a wet trickle blood slid downward .
I hissed in pain but did my best 9/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0028 not to move , terrified that any sudden motion might cause him to cut me worse .
I clenched my teeth and braced myself , waiting for the slash that seemed inevitable .
Thats enough ! a deep voice boomed from nearby .
The entire room fell silent .
There was something familiar about that voice , though I couldnt immediately place it .
But I knew for certain that I had heard it before .
You , the leader said , his tone suddenly uncertain .
What are you doing here ? I should be asking you the same question , the voice replied angrily .
Just what the hell do you think youre doing in my territory ? Chapter 0020
