The Mafia's Limping bride

CHAPTER 4 – Another challenge

Carol’s POV

“Ms. Carol, please wake up. I am scared” I heard a faint voice like in a dream. My head is heavy like I have carried thousands of rocks on my head.

“Ms. Carol, Ms. Carol” The next moment I realized the story behind my heavy head and every moment of our kidnapped. I quickly opened my eyes to find a tiny pair of eyes looking at me with a water bottle in his hand.

“Avin, oh my god, kid, are you, all right?” I quickly hugged him and patted his back.

“Ms. Carol, where are we? Why did they bring us here?” Avin broke the hug and asked the same questions which came to the surface of my head.

“Avin, I am not sure my kid, but don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you” he leaned his head to my chest. I felt something like my chest was gonna explode and cover him with my love for him.

I looked at my surroundings. It was a small room with a single bed and one window. There was a small door in the washroom and Avin and I were on the bed.

“How long have I been out Avin?” I asked Avin.

“I am not sure Ms. Carol, I woke up half an hour ago and since then I tried to wake you up by sprinkling some water from my bottle” he showed his emptied bottle.

“Where’s my crutches? Have you seen them?” I looked at everywhere.

“No, Ms. Carol. I haven’t seen them” he replied with a nod.

How can I walk without them? I can only go two steps without it and feel my mouth dry. How can I walk to the washroom to drink some water?

“Avin, can you bring some water to the water bottle to drink? I can’t walk to the washroom” I asked him gently.

Avin nodded and ran to the washroom.

“Aaaaah” but the next moment he rushed back to the room with a scream making me a heart patient.

“M…s C…arol….there….” he is terrified to death.

“Avin, what happened baby?” Avin was hiding his face on my chest.

“There is a cockroach in the washroom!” he pointed his finger. I sighed a breath of relief.

“Avin, it’s all right. Don’t be afraid, I am here with you. Forget about the water, I am fine”

I don’t know where we are and why are we here. I am worried about Avin and Mr. Samson. I hope he is all right. There’s no clue to find out what’s the time and where are we. Most of all I need my crutches. I can’t do anything without my crutches. I looked at the shoulder of my top where it got torn. I looked for a way to cover it with my hands, but I didn’t have a pin to gather it.

I heard the door knob creaking to open and both I and Avin turned out heads to see who was it. The door opened with a creak and two men entered the room. They seem familiar and the next moment I realized that these two were there when we were kidnapped.

Avin got hold of me and I wrapped my arms around him. They were wearing casual denim jeans and t-shirts. I recognized them as the ones who pulled Avin away and one the guy who injected me. They were carried something to the room. I looked at them without uttering a word. They entered the room and kept something on the table. I realized that those were two packets of food and two water bottles.

My thirst level went beyond when I saw the water bottles. I gulp hard looking at the water bottles and the men. They stood near the bed with their folded hands. I realized that my shoulder was visible to them. I covered it with my hands.

“I know that you kidnapped us, but why? What do you want from us? Where is my crutches? I need it. I can’t walk without it” I said.

“You are a mistake! We only needed the kid. Why the hell were you there? Do you think that we care about your crutches, you limping wh*re!” when the tall man replied I was a bit surprised.

“This must be a mistake. We didn’t do anything to you. Who are you people? What do you want from us?”

“We have nothing to do with the two of you. We have the deal with the kid’s father. As soon as he pays us, we will release you” so they all did it for money. Avin’s father is a billionaire in the country.

“Shame on you people. You kidnapped a kid for money. What’s the quality of your business? Don’t you have ethics? Give me my crutches, I need them” I demanded. Avin was still hiding on my back.

They started to laugh. Their horrifying laugh echoed in the room making the back hair of my neck raised. These people are dangerous that’s all I know.

“The boss will be here soon. He will decide what we should do with you, lady! until then, enjoy this little time. I am afraid about his decision” the one who injected me smirked.

“Eat and stay happy!” they both left the room.

They have a boss too?! Must be an old tummy man who is leading a gang.

“Avin, can you take a water bottle for me, baby? Let’s eat something” I pointed my finger towards the food. Avin quickly got down from the bed and ran to pick up the food and the water. He must be hungry and so do I. I guess it must have been passed hours since our kidnap. That’s why we feel so hungry and thirsty.

Avin brought the two packs and a water bottle. I opened the lid of the water bottle and emptied around half of it. I took a one-pack of the meal and unwrapped it for Avin. It had a sandwich and a vegetable salad with a baked piece of bacon.

“Avin, have this my kid.” I forwarded it to Avin.

“Ms. Carol, mom always says that do not eat the food given by the strangers” At one point he is correct. They could have mixed something with the food, but they need Avin alive.

“Avin, don’t worry. They need us alive” I patted Avin’s head. We both slowly started to have the meal. While having my meals I felt that something was getting wet on my panties.

Am I on my period? s**t! please god no, enough drama happened for the day! I mentally prayed. The appetite was gone by now. I need to use the washroom to confirm and I need a terribly to pee also.

My only question was how to reach the washroom. I can only go two feet at a time without my crutches. How about crawling? I searched the room to find that there was nothing except the bed and the table.

“Avin, I will slowly move to the washroom. You have your meals, OK?” I patted his head.

“But Ms. Carol, how are you gonna go to the washroom without the crutches?” I smile at his concern about me.

“Don’t worry, I will manage Avin. I have to go to the washroom” I kept my meal packet away and moved to the corner of the bed to stand by holding the headboard.

I made sure to give my weight to the left foot since the right foot has the issue. I slowly stood up tightly holding the headboard. I have successfully stood up, and now the challenge is to walk towards the washroom.

My right leg was severely broken into four after the accident and the doctors did their best to save it by doing a few operations, as a result, my leg was shortened and I am gifted with a never-ending limping.

I jumped a little and moved one foot and then another foot at the same time. unfortunately, I lost my balance.

“Aaaah, Avin” I fell on the ground hitting my head on a corner of the table and swallowing me into the darkness again.
