Blind Spot by Sakshi C (the reader ebook TXT) 📕

She always made him feel extremes of emotions. Desire, love, obsession, hatred, or jealousy he felt it all for her in extreme. He never admitted it but he was always jealous of his little brother because he had her.

And now Fransisco.  

Clenching his jaw, he stormed towards his room in long strides. He was a ball of pure rage. How could she be so ungrateful? His brother had helped her through everything and she betrayed him just like that. 

Danzel harshly slammed the door shut behind him and raked his ring-clad fingers through his hair. He sighed and started pacing the room. His deep, heavy breathing filled the room.

He was feeling as if someone had set his inside on fire, not in a good way.

Fransisco.

"Fucking Fransisco" he gripped the glass table and turned it over. A loud noise reverberated through the room before the glass shattered into tiny pieces.

He pushed his hand through his hair and resumed pacing. 

Consumed with rage, he trashed his room without a care. In a matter of an hour, his room was a mess. Danzel sat on the floor and leaned against his bed. 

He closed his eyes. Her tear-filled eyes flashed in front of his eyes, causing a tearing pain to his heart.

And then the kiss. 

He gulped recalling how they had felt against his lips. They felt soft as flower petals and sweet as sugar. They    

......

The next morning, he woke up to the ringtone of his phone. He opened his eyes and the mild pain in his neck made him realize that he had slept on the floor the whole night. He rolled his neck and fished the phone from his suit pocket. His manager was calling him.

"Hello," his voice husky due to sleep

"Don, Fransisco has blasted two of our warehouses last night," the man informed him.

Danzel let out a dark chuckle. That fucker was getting on his nerves. The idiota had no idea that by doing this all, he was only making it worse for his girlfriend. She would bear the consequences of his every action. 

Danzel disconnected the call and rose to his feet. He took off his jacket and tossed it to the bed. 

.................

Inessa was lying all alone on the floor. Her hands and legs were tied, hampering her movements. Spending the whole night on the floor was torturous. The first thing she became aware of after waking up was the biting pain in her muscles. She groaned in pain, feeling her muscles sore and tight. 

Inessa opened her eyes and got blinded by the yellow light that was dangling right above her. He had kept her in a room where not an ounce of sunlight reached. Tears invaded her eyes immediately. She was in pain, she was hurt. The way he kissed her last night made her feel so filthy. She couldn't help but recall her uncle's assault. How could he do this to her?  

Everyone betrayed her. Everyone even Fransisco. She had no idea he was a Mafia man. This was all so strange.

Her breath hitched when she heard the opening of the door. His footsteps thud loudly against the floors as he made his way towards her.

Inessa conjured up her energy and sat up. Her alarmed eyes rested on his imposing frame that was getting enormous with every step forward. His vicious smirk struck fear in her heart. 

"I woke up to bad news today," Inessa scrambled backward. His smirk widened when he noticed that. 

"Do you know what was that, Inessa? Your fuckbuddy destroyed my warehouses last night," he halted in front of her while looking down at her. Inessa was timidly staring up at him. 

He crouched and fixed her with a predatory gaze. He gripped a strand of her hair and yanked her closer. She winced in pain.

"Little does he know, his cherished girlfriend is going to pay for his audacity," he whispered, a sadistic glint in his eyes. His brutal words caused a cold shudder to snake down her spine. She shook her head. She wasn't his girlfriend. She wasn't a cheater. Even though Andrei and Inessa had a marriage of convenience, she never cheated on him. 

" I am going to destroy you the way he destroyed my warehouses," he added much to her fear. She pressed tightly against the wall to create some distance between them. Her eyes were filled with tears.  

He noticed how desperate she was to get away from him. He got up and left. 

She broke down in tears once he left. She had never thought her life would come down to this. She was tired. She was hungry and thirsty. And worse of all, she was all alone. No one will help her now. 

Inessa returned to her task of working on her ropes. Her nails had broken and skin chaffed due to her constant effort but she didn't give up. She needed to get out of here. She had no idea where would she go as she was positive her family wouldn't accept her. She can go to Sylvia and ask for her help.

After desperately trying for hours, she finally managed to break free. Hope bloomed inside her. Realizing it was her only shot, she attempted at standing up but only to fall down. Her legs had turned weak due to not being in motion for long. There was no way she was going to let this opportunity slip by. She conjured up all her strength and shot to her feet. 

She scampered to the door and tried to open it. But the door was locked. Tears of despair fell down her eyes. as she realized she was locked in here. She turned around and leaned against the door. Sobs racked her body as she covered her mouth with his hand and slid down the door.  

She was trapped from all sides. 

Tears streaked her cheeks as she continued to sob for hours. She knew he would be back soon and she knew he would punish her if he found her like this. 

So she went back to her previous spot and loosely tied the ropes around her hands. 

The luck showed her some mercy when sometime later someone opened her door. With bated breath, she waited for him to show up but instead a woman in her thirties came in. She was holding a tray of food. Inessa hadn't seen the woman before.
