MINE

21- Taken

They keep it against her nose and she finds herself losing consciousness. The men in the car pull the cloth away once Layla passes out in the backseat.

Alair looks as the car drives away, he climbs into his car which was open and key in ignition. He starts the car and follows them.

He almost loses the car but finds it and sends his location to backup. He lets out a series of curses as he thinks about what they would do to her.

Who was this boss anyway?

He grits his teeth as he follows them subtly. Moving in and out of sight to keep them from finding out they had a tail. Who are these amateurs? First the guy with the gun and then the car.

He slows down as they turn into an inner lane. He follows in and finds his people right behind him. He instructs them to carefully swarm into the place. His heart feels like it stopped as he finds an unconscious Layla in the arms of an asshole.

He follows after them. He grabs the mouth of the last guy and slams his head on the wall before he could scream and alert the others.

One of the other men turns and Alair his behind the wall, he hears the footsteps. His head pops beside him and Alair launches a punch and he backs away. Alair gets his gun out and aims. The man's eyes widen as he stumbles and falls on his butt.

Alair motions for him to come closer and he gets up and slowly comes towards Alair who head butts him with his gun.

Alair had counted five men. So two down and three to go.

He follows the men who had taken a turn and finds the three of them standing infront of a metal door. The small flap on the metal door opened and a man's voice asked for password.

"Katana" the man said and the door opened and the three men entered with Layla inside.

He heard footsteps and turned around to find his men. He motions for two of his smart and strong men to join him.

He walks to the metal door and the same man asks for password. "Katana" Alair said and the door opens.

Alair looks inside at the empty long corridor that has multiple doors on both sides. Before the door shuts behind the three of them. One of the men knocks out the guard and all the others follow in.

Alair walks further and checks the doors to find weaponry in one, disco and gambling in the other. He goes through other rooms to find Layla.

Layla opens her eyes and finds herself bound to a chair in the middle of the room. She feels a finger trace patterns on her neck and she stiffens. "Finally up, sleeping beauty?" The man asked as he walked to the front.

The door behind her opens and she hears a pair of heels. "Control boys we have all the time in the world to show this bitch what she deserves." A very familiar woman's voice said.

Layla feels as if someone poured cold water over her as the realization dawns on her. "What do you want Marianne" she asked. Marianne grabs her hair and  tugs it back painfully hard.

Layla holds back any sound, "You let me take Knox and then reeled him back I'm, you had Alair wrapped up around your finger, I had given up Knox and then you stole Alair too. Bitch you took away what I wanted and now I'm going to make you suffer for it." She said and let go of Layla.

Another man with a lit cigar walked to Layla, he put his nose at the base of her neck. Layla turns away when he bites down and sucks on the skin.

When he was about to put his lips on hers she tried to headbutt him but he moved away. He glared at her and slapped her.

Laylas head snapped to the side from the force. "I don't like bratty girls, even if they look gorgeous" he said as he walked away. Layla felt bile rise in her mouth as she holds back. She wished someone would save her. She squeezed her eyes shut and chuckled at herself. Who was she kidding?

The man and Marianne were about to walk out but Laylas words make the man pause and Marianne pauses with him.

"You are the man I saw in the lift, are you also Olivia's boss?" She asked, "yes to both, let me introduce myself before my men finish." He said with a chuckle. "Im Ian Donald" he said and she heard his footsteps as he walked out and the door closed.

One of the men walked to her. "Such a pity that boss had to ruin the perfect face" he said as others laughed and he stroked her bruised cheek and she looks down to hold back any sound of discomfort she didn't want them to know how bad all this was affecting her.

Where are you Alair? She thought

Alair opens the last room and finds her tied to the chair and a couple of men around her. One of them touches her cheek and she just looks down. Alair notices a slight bruise on the same cheek and her loses it.

He gets his gun out and shoots the man on the head.

Everyone's head snaps to him and they look at him with wide eyes. They all try to get their guns but Alairs men fill in and they all freeze.
