She is the one by Asheslove (book recommendations for young adults txt) 📕

I felt like volcano erupting in me hearing her words.

'Why are you here and what do you want from me?' I asked in strong voice fisting my hands trying to stop myself from losing control on my nerves.

'Again just to help you like before that's all, I can get you out from his captivity but I doubt you want that, its looking more like you are enjoying yourself with him' she said looking at the dress in my hand scrunching her face.

'I told you before and I am telling you again I don't need your fucking help. Why will I took help and believe a stranger who appears from nowhere'.

'Oh believe me I shouldn't do that if I were you, you're doing the same mistake you did last time'. She said sarcastically.

'No thanks but leave just like you came here if you don't want yourself to get killed, I don't need any help' and saying this I turned to left trying cooling myself.

'Not even to get your family out' she said from behind and my feet halted.

I turned to face her as saw her leaned against the wall looking at her nails.

'He has your family doesn't he.' She said rising her head at me looking victoriusly.

'Or you forget about your family enjoying yourself with him'.

'What do you know about my family' I growled clenching my jaw.

'Everything, I even know that they are in Cuba right now, am I wrong'. 

And now this scared me, how she know where Nicolas held my family.

'Sad, If you would have taken my help last time then they must not be in his captive and you would be independent. Alas, you rejected my offer and here you are now. Didn't he kidnapped them too when he kidnapped you again from your house when you escaped him?'

'How the hell you know about all this' i asked scrutinizing her evil face.

She huffed irritadedly.

'I know everything'

'I don't know who you are but you better stay away from my family' I warned her looking straight in her eyes but the question is can I trust her.

'Oh, you are getting me wrong here Elena Blackwood, I can get you and your family out from him and you don't have to do anything'.

'And Why do I believe you, you don't even tell me who you are? And why are you so adamant on helping me, what will you get in return?'

'Smart of you, but like I told you before I've my own reasons'. 

'I want his downfall to take him down and you..' she chuckled evilly.

'Are going to be my weapon against him' she replied venomously.

'Are you working for Dimitri?' I asked nonchalantly.

She released a wild loud chuckle on my words.

'I work only for myself dear'.

I looked at her cunning face, who the hell is she but whatever I can't trust her. If Nicolas will get any idea about it he will kill my family or maybe do much worst and I can't even imagine what he'll do with me later when found about I am scheming a plot with his enemies, I don't want to put my family in anymore danger they are already in by believing some outsider.

'I don't know who you are and what game you are playing but don't ever meet me again otherwise I would have to tell him about you' 

And saying this I turned to left but she interrupted me again.

'I know you won't believe me but there's someone you do, I am sure you had seen him, didn't you?' She said from behind and I again abruptly stop on my track in shock.

There's no way the person I'd seen at pharmacy can really be here, I thought it was just my mind playing tricks, or maybe he is...

'Send your guard away and you will find him out of the mall' she told and without wasting a second there I sprinted out.

Lorenzo was standing out already waiting for me. 

'What took you so long ma'am?'

'Nothing, just the zipper got stuck' I said giving him a faint smile acting neutral hiding the fear in my voice. 

I brought few more things like lotions and creams with Lorenzo following me thinking of a way to send him away. My anxiety keeps growing, hands started to tremble slightly, sweat beads gliding on my temple in fear so soon without realization I abruptly stop taking sharp breaths, concentrating on them.

'What's wrong' Lorenzo precipitously came forward holding my shoulder.

'Lorenzo could you please fetch some water from somewhere'.

'What's happening ma'am? Should I call boss' he asked worriedly.

'No, there's nothing to bother, it's just crowd... I think which is making me a little uncomfortable and breathless'. 

I saw Lorenzo hesitated.

'Please just bring me a bottle of water Lorenzo, I desperately need it' I said with tears in my eyes.

He looked at my condition, cussed at himself and then finding a place for me to sit handed the bags to valet and telling me to stay right there disappeared somewhere.

When I searched and find him nowhere I quickly rushed out of the mall without caring about pushing people away from my way and saw someone familer standing their near the parking.

'Uncle David' I mumbled as tears flow from my eyes.

'Oh Elena dear, thank God you found me' he said releasing a deep relief sigh and tears flow my eyes looking someone familer after such a long period of time. Uncle David is of my fathers age, he's dad's friend from years who used to work with him in department. He was a deputy chief inspector by then, a rank down than dad, my father's junior who work under him. I know him since my childhood, I'd grown looking him and dad working together. When my father left his job he become chief inspector on his place and used to visit us many times. 

'Uncle, dad, mom, Alex...' I chocked on my sobs.

'I know, I know, they are fine. I'll find them too, nothing will happen to your family Elena' he said in a comforting way rubbing my shoulder.

'What are you doing here uncle, how did you find me?' I whispered calming myself.

'Relax, it's fine, I am here to save you'.
