A Night With The King

Sophia sat in the car, with her hands tied, mouth gagged and blindfolded, she couldn’t do anything, the drive continue for more than an hour, she wasn’t sure where the man was taking her and couldn’t even defend herself, she had to wait till they get to were they were going, she didn’t even know if she will ever make it back alive, she just said a silent prayer to heaven wishing that they will protect her even if it is just because of her unborn child, she can’t die like this, she didn’t want to die like this.

“Okay, we are finally here,”

The driver said as the car came to a stop, Sophia heard him open the car and get out and before she knew it, he was at her side, he pulled her out of the car with so much force that she almost hit her head on the car, he pushed her on the ground, before removing her blindfold, her eyes took a while to adjust after the blindfold was removed.

“Hand it over,”

He said stretching out his hands.

“Hand what over?”

Sophia asked, she was shocked by how calm she sounded when her whole body was in fear.

“Don’t play dumb with me bitch, hand the package that was given to you by the king over right now,”

He said pointing the gun at her.

“I don’t know what you are talking about,”

She said trying to play dumb, she couldn’t give it to him, the king did say she would pay back if she list it and it was worth millions of Otano dollars, how can she give something like that to him, that would put her in debt for life and it might land her in prison, she didn’t want to go to prison, she couldn’t do there, prisons were bad in general but Otano prison was worst in all terms, she couldn’t risk a life there, it was harsh on both make and female, she has seen some of the prisoners and shits the people of the kingdom did to them, according to the indigenes, it was the way to reduce crime since no one wants to go through that much humiliation.

“Hand it over or I will take it from you, I don’t mind getting my hands on you so make this easy for the both of us, fast too, because I need to get back to the palace,”

He let out, pointing the gun at her, no matter how she looked, Sophia just didn’t know this driver, maybe he was new because she hasn’t seen him around the palace before, why would the king send her on an errand he knew was dangerous and not send bodyguards with her, maybe this was his plan too to get rid of her, maybe he does remember their time together after all and this was a way to do away with her, he could have just ignored her, why did he have to do this to her, she wasn’t even a threat to him.

“I can’t give you anything, the king told me I will pay for It, and I don’t think I will ever have the money to pay back so please just let me go,”

She begged, going on her knees, the man laughed at her, she watched him mocking her, and tears of helplessness gathered in her eyes, there was so much of this that has happened before, so much, her on her knees begging for her life and the person laughing at her, yes she has been in this position once before and now she was back again, I’ma place that she thought she would finally be safe, a place she had called her home for two whole years, where she wasn’t having the best life but at least she had been safe, now not anymore because once again, she has a gun to her face and her knees on the ground, somethings never change.

“Give it to me now, on the count of three or you will be dead,”

He yelled at her, she wished someone could hear them and come to help her but she knew that was hopeless because they were in the middle of nowhere and it was dark, she might be killed either way but she couldn’t due holding on to whatever the king gave her, so she deep her hand in her pocket and brought it out and handed it over to him, he checked them and did a little happy dance, laughing at her before turning towards the car, she knew he was going to leave but he couldn’t leave her there on her own in the middle of nowhere.

“You can’t leave me here, why are you doing this?”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Sophia yelled at him, he turned to look at her and let out an evil laugh pointing his gun at her.

“You should be lucky I let you live, but then again, it will be a waste killing you, since what you gave ahead if you get out of here alive will be worst than anything else, anyway, have a fun time finding your way back to the palace, and if you do find your way back, you should know no one will believe your story, bye,”

He said and walked away, got into the car and drove off leaving her in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but the clothes she was wearing, she didn’t even know where she would go, it was already dark and there was no light, just the moonlight, she looked around trying to figure out where she was but she knew that was hopeless, she didn’t know much about Otano to know where she was, in the two years that she has been working in the palace and living in the kingdom, she could count the number of times she had left the palace and it wasn’t much, she got off the ground regardless of how hopeless her situation was.

“Please God help me,”

She prayed as she started walking, she didn’t know where she was going or what awaits her if ever she can get to the palace, she didn’t have any money to pay back what was stolen, this was bad whichever way she looks at it and the worst is that she wasn’t even sure she was going to make it out of this desert on her own, her life and that of her baby was in line and she didn’t even know how to save the both of them…
