His Beautiful Addiction

Chapter 260 - Kidnap

Tiana walked out of the house and to her car, her driver held the door open for her and closed it after she got in.

He was surprised by her actions today, was she calling for death? On a normal, she used about five cars to go to places, but today she had particularly told them to go with one car even when she knew she would be the most wanted person in the whole of California, he didn't know how she reasoned, but then, she was the wife of their boss, they couldn't go against her orders.

Tiana closed her eyes as she listened to the song playing on the radio suddenly she heard a screeching sound and her car came to a halt. Her eyes looked outside the window only to see that their car had been cornered in a lonely path.

''Ma'am, should I alert the others? '' The driver asked when he saw that they've been surrounded;

''No, it's okay. '' The man turned to her, shock was written on his face, maybe the rumors were true, she was actually mourning but pretending not to and maybe secretly looking for a means to get killed so she could join her husband, and now she had seen one, she wanted to grab it, but he won't let her, not under his watch.

''Ma'am I can't let these people hurt you, I'm alerting the others now; ''

''Do you have a death wish?! '' Tiana seethed through her teeth as she glared at the driver through the rearview mirror. Her voice was very authoritative making him coil on his chair. A man stepped out from one of the cars around them and knocked on the driver's window;

''unlock the car; '' Tiana spoke, he didn't know what was on her mind but it was too late now, they were going to get killed anyway.

The driver unlocked the car and Tiana wound down her window;

 '' do you want to come with us or do you want us to make you? '' The man said mockingly as he stared at Tiana intimidatingly;

''what do you want? ''

''We don't have time for questions missy, we'll kill your driver and take you with us if you don't comply.''

Tiana was not scared, she knew they wouldn't hurt her, but she was afraid for her driver; ''I'll follow you, but don't harm him. '' She said, stepping out of the car.

''Right, we won't but he is coming with us. '' The man said and Tiana breathed but she did not refute. She just came out of the car and followed him got into one of the cars and they drove off.

Tiana came out of the car as they held the door open for her, her eyes glanced at the building and her brows creased as she wondered who lived there_ Douglas or Catherine Wills?

She was led into the house and to a beautiful room; ''stay here. '' one of the guards said and left the room, locking it behind him.

Tiana walked to the couch and sat down, her eyes looking around the room. Although she was kidnapped, they didn't treat her like a prisoner, and well, she wasn't surprised, she already knew what the kidnapper wanted. They wouldn't dare mess with her, she knew that and that was why she wasn't too scared. After about five minutes, a maid walked in with a plate of fruits and kept it in front of her.

Tiana's eyes glanced at the plate and she felt her stomach churn, the last thing she would do was to eat here. She was getting impatient but finally, the door clicked open and Douglas walked in. Her eyes rose to him and she smiled, he was quite a fast thinker to kidnap her before his rival does.

A smile broadened his lips as he walked into the room;

''Tiana, we haven't officially met, have we? '' Douglas said with a light chuckle as he walked to where she sat and sat down beside her. Tiana fisted her palms on her thighs, to think he had the guts to speak as though they were good.

''Douglas, how dare you? ''

Her eyes flashed with hate and animosity, she wanted to reach out and tear the smug out of his face with her bare hands; ''you kill my husband and you have the guts to kidnap his mourning widow? ''

A laugh resounded in the room as her words reached his ears, ''you amaze me, Tiana. Mourning you say? '' His eyes gazed her up to down, ''you don't look anything like mourning, dear, more like celebrating. ''

Tiana thinned her lips but she did not reply; ''let me go this minute; '' they had taken her bag so she wasn't with her phone, and there was no way she would call anyone.

''We haven't even started yet and you're talking of leaving, '' he laughed dryly ''here, have some fruits; ''

He extended the fruit tray to her but Tiana did not look at it.

''What do you want? ''

Douglas smiled at her then his smile was replaced with a serious look; ''I want you to choose me as the acting CEO. ''

Quite straight to the point, Tiana thought.

''How in hell, do you think that after killing my husband I'll choose you to take his place. ''

''Because I'm not asking, it's a command. ''

Tiana took in a sharp breath; ''you know you can't hurt me right? There is a tracking device on my phone and the last place it was seen was here, so no matter what you do, you're not going to get away with it.''

Douglas was quiet, although he didn't intend to hurt her, he made sure they switched off her phone right before they took her, but she was smart enough to put a tracking device.

''You're quite smart I must say; '' he laughed;

Tiana smiled; ''smarter than you can ever imagine, '' she paused, then she laughed; ''anyway, I would still choose you, Catherine and my husband were at loggerheads before he died, so I can't choose them, so can I go now? ''

Douglas stared at her for a moment, she looked like she couldn't hurt a fly but at the same time, she looked like she could bring a thousand buildings down, this woman… there was something strange.
