"Taken"
đźš— The Ride Turns Dark
The city lights blurred past the window.
Isabella shifted in her seat, unease creeping into her chest. Something wasn't right.
"Lucian…" she said softly, trying to stay calm. "This isn't the way to the bookstore."
No response.
Her fingers tightened around her phone.
"Lucian, stop the car."
Silence.
Her heart began to race.
"Lucian, I said stop the car!"
He finally spoke—his voice calm, almost too calm.
"Relax. We're almost there."
Fear slammed into her.
Her breathing quickened as realization hit.
This isn't normal…
This isn't safe…
Her hands trembled as she quickly unlocked her phone and typed:
"Alex… something is wrong. Lucian is not taking me to the bookstore. I think… I think he is kidnapping me. Please find me."
She hit send.
📱 Alexander's Reaction
Alexander's phone buzzed.
He glanced down casually—
Then froze.
The message.
His entire body went still.
Then—
Rage.
Pure, uncontrollable rage.
"Damn it!" he snapped, already grabbing his keys.
He dialed immediately.
"Track this number NOW," he barked into the phone. "Alert the police. I want every unit ready. Send me her live location!"
His voice wasn't calm anymore.
It was deadly.
"I'm coming for her."
đźš— Inside the Car
Isabella's breathing grew heavier.
"Lucian… please… if this is a joke, stop it now. You're scaring me."
Lucian's grip tightened on the wheel.
"No one is joking."
Her heart dropped.
"Why are you doing this?" her voice cracked. "Alexander trusts you… I trusted you!"
He didn't respond.
That silence was worse than anything.
Tears filled her eyes.
"Please… let me go. I won't tell anyone. I promise. Just stop the car!"
The car sped up.
"Lucian, please!" she cried, panic breaking through. "I don't want to die!"
🕶️ The Reveal
The car suddenly turned off the main road.
Dark. Isolated.
Empty.
Isabella's chest tightened as fear fully took over.
"Where are you taking me?!" she screamed.
Lucian finally looked at her.
Cold. Detached.
"Orders."
Her voice shook.
"Orders from who?!"
He didn't answer.
But deep down…
She already knew.
🚨 Alexander in Motion
Alexander's car sped through traffic like a storm.
His knuckles were white on the steering wheel, his jaw clenched so tight it hurt.
"Hold on, Isabella…" he muttered.
His phone buzzed again—location received.
He glanced at it once.
And his eyes darkened.
"I've got you."
⚠️ The Breaking Point
Inside the car, Isabella's strength was fading.
Her body felt weak… heavy…
Her vision blurred again.
"Lucian…" she whispered weakly. "Please…"
The door locks clicked.
Her heart dropped.
"No… no, please don't do this…" she cried softly, tears streaming down her face.
She clutched her phone tightly, whispering as if Alexander could hear her:
"Alex… please come… I'm scared…"
🔥 Cliffhanger Ending
The car came to a sudden stop.
The engine died.
Silence.
Lucian stepped out.
Isabella tried to open the door—
Locked.
Her breathing became frantic.
"Lucian!!"
The back door opened.
A shadow fell over her.
And in that moment…
She knew—
This wasn't just a kidnapping.
It was a plan.
Meanwhile—
Alexander pushed his car even faster.
His eyes burning with fury.
Anyone who touched her…
Would pay.
