HANNAH'S POV
My hands trembled as I got out of the car after the hitman left. My knees were weak but I managed to wobble upto where my parents' bodies were.
I tried to apply pressure to my mother's bleeding heart but she was not responding. My dad's brain was scattered above the green grass. I screamed to the world in pain as I struggled to breath.
My chest was tight and breathing became painful.
"What did you do?" I heard Nick's voice.
"Thank God you are here,"I mumbled as I rushed to hug Nick but he pushed me away.
"What did you do Hannah?" He asked, raising his voice at me and I was confused.
"A hitman..A hitman shot my parents!" I couldn't talk clearly.
"Liar!" Nick screamed and I shuddered.
"What do you mean?" I asked as tears blinded my eyes.
"You did it. You killed them so that they can stop controlling you!" Nick blamed me as more tears started streaming down my cheeks.
"No that is not true. I can't kill my parents. Someone killed them and you know it," I said in a shaky voice. Bitter bile was tasting at the back of my throat and my stomach became a pit of nerves.
"Liar! You hated them!" Nick said and forcefully grabbed my arm.
He took long strides to the house and pushed me to the bathroom.
"I am giving you two minutes to clean up. "He ordered but I decided not to listen to him. He is clearly out of his mind.
"I am going to call the police,"I said gently and started walking away only for him to grab my neck tightly.
Before I could free myself, I felt the cold pistol touch my head.
"If you do anything against my orders, I am going to pull the trigger!" He said through gritted teeth before pushing me into the bathroom.
I cried like a baby as the cold water rushed through my body. My bloody hands were washed clean by the water after a minute and that is when Nick ordered me to come out.
He pointed a gun at me as we went upstairs so that I could change.
I wanted to pick my usual fancy dresses but he warned me against it. Instead, he made me wear my pajamas. After that we left the house and walked to my car.
"Get in!" He pushed me to open the door of the car for myself and I did as I was told.
After ensuring that I was all settled in, he joined me taking the driver's seat. In a second, we reversed out of our compound.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked after an hour of driving out of town.
"Somewhere where you belong,"He said with a laugh that made my stomach churn. I remained silent till we finally reached our destination.
"An orphanage!" I was freaking out.
He made a call and suddenly two guards came and gagged me. I guess the gag was laced with drugs since I passed out after a few seconds.
