"Hello," Elliana picked up the phone call she received in the middle of the lecture as she walked out of the class after obtaining the professor’s permission.
"Hello, sweetheart. This is so nice voice I am hearing," She heard an unfamiliar voice and narrowed her eyes.
She looked at the caller ID. It was an unknown number.
"Who is this?" She walked further from her class, not wanting to be seen roaming the corridors in the middle of the lecture by a dean who would definitely threaten her with so negative points.
"Does it really matter?"
"You have called , and I definitely haven’t heard your voice, so I think it matters who you are. If you are so weird psycho who finds pleasure in irritating people by calling random numbers, I am not interested in your sick gas," Elliana was about to end the call when she heard his voice again.
"Ah, aren’t you in a hurry for soone who is going to get the shock of her life? What I wanted to say is- you should bother with who I am, but with who I have with ," The man said, and Elliana narrowed her eyes.
"Look, I don’t know who you are and am not interested in knowing either. If you have sothing important to talk about -"
"Natasha. That’s what’s her na, right?" The man sounded like he was talking to soone else, and Elliana’s heart thumped in her chest.
He wasn’t talking about the person she thought he was talking about, right?
’Yes. sir. That’s what the girl wrote her na was,"
"I don’t know -"
"Unfortunately, the poor girl can’t speak, or she would’ve spoken herself and proved to you what I am talking about," The man said, and Elliana took a deep breath to calm herself.
"Why do you have her with you? What are your intentions?" Elliana whispered.
"Oh, so now we are talking," The man chuckled, and Elliana heard collective manly chuckles in the background, making her hands clench around her dress.
Calm down, Elliana. No need to panic. Everything will be fine. Elliana told herself as she walked to the fire exit to talk without risking anyone hearing her voice and what she was talking about.
"What the hell do you want?" Elliana asked as soon as she closed the doors.
"This mute girl here is quite a beauty. Initially, I wanted to use her for... I think you are intelligent enough to know what I am talking about. But then I saw a weird black wings tattoo on her neck. I rember seeing this tattoo a couple of days ago on so other girl’s neck, and I knew she was a part of so kind of cult," The man said, and Elliana didn’t like where this was going.
"And since there is a cult, I am sure there would be a leader too. I had to know who this leader is, and if he/she loves their mbers enough to offer so money for this girl," The man said, and Elliana breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s only about money. She can obviously give him as much money as this scum wants for the safety of the girls.
"But now that I know you are a girl too, and with such a pleasant voice, I would like to see you in front of to make this deal. I am sending you a location. Co and et in one hour, or I don’t know what I will do. Probably enjoy so soft skin?" The man laughed maniacally, and Elliana gritted her teeth.
"You bastard, if you even as much as lay a hand on her, I will skin you alive," Elliana snarled, not caring that her voice was probably reaching and echoing into the entire staircase.
"Awe, sweetheart, for that to happen, you will have to co here, no? So why are you wasting your ti? The clock is ticking. Tic-toc, Tic-toc," the man made the clicking sounds of the clock, and Elliana felt helpless, looking around before ruffling her hair.
Marcello had warned her that people were looking into her girls, but she had never thought she would hear this news before figuring out anything. From the sound of it, he doesn’t look like one of the people who were looking into her team. He probably kidnapped her when Natasha was out for a mission or just shopping.
"I... I will be there. Please don’t hurt her," Elliana’s voice was more than a whimper as she fell to her knees, hot tears welling in her ears.
"Don’t worry, I am a man of my word. I won’t harm her, but I can’t say anything about pleasing her," The man said, followed by the muffled voices of Natasha struggling as she flailed her legs and hit her chair to catch Elliana’s attention.
"Don’t touch her, please. She can’t express herself. Please show so humanity," Elliana whimpered.
"Humanity? Girl, are you stupid? If we really had to show humanity, why would he have kidnapped her in the first place? Didn’t you hear my words earlier? The clock is ticking, sweetheart," The man said, and the call disconnected, making Elliana cover her face with her hands as she waited for the ssage to co.
She quickly dialed Glow’s number.
"Mmmm," Glow made the sound, to let her know it was her, and Elliana took a deep breath.
Though Glow’s voice sounded neutral, she could sense the distress.
"Why didn’t you tell Natasha was kidnapped? Have you lost your mind? How many tis do I need to tell you to inform of every single thing that is happening with you guys? I didn’t take responsibility for you for nothing," Elliana lost her cool.
"Don’t shout at her, Elliana. The girls do it all to keep you out of danger. I am looking into it. Don’t worry," Marcello took the phone from Elliana’s hands, and she clenched her hands around the phone.
"I don’t need you to tell how to deal with my girls," Elliana took a deep breath.
No. What the hell was she doing? She can send the address to Marcello, and he can go and -
Elliana looked at the address and gritted her teeth. If Marcello went near this area, the royals or their guards would easily catch him. This place was so close to Mr. Marino’s palace. It was 30 minutes from the university, but how will she get there? Not to ntion how risky it was.
"Glow is asking how the hell you heard about it?" Marcello asked.
"Do you think I won’t know about it if you girls don’t tell anything? The kidnapper called . He said he wants to-" Elliana paused.
If she told them what that kidnapper asked for and how he threatened her, the girls would be more scared, and they would stop sharing things with her even more.
"What did he say?" Marcello asked.
"I will get her out of there. Ask them to not worry about anything. They are my responsibility," Elliana said before ending the call.
She was about to exit the fire exit and go to the corridor to exit when she heard so noise from the staircase above hers.
"So? Are you thinking of going by bike or car?" she heard the familiar voice and her throat went dry as the man appeared right in front of her, making her back into the wall.
anwhile, in the building where that girl Natasha was caught, the leader took a whiff of his smoke, dialing his boss’s number.
"This better be important," The man on the other side said.
"I did it, sir. I promised that I would find the leader of that group who dared to attack us and steal those boys from us, right? I caught one of the girls from that weird won’s gang. The leader of the group is also a girl. From the sounds of it, she doesn’t sound older than a teenager or soone in her early twenties. I have threatened her and called her here. Will you be here to see for yourself?" The leader said, and the man on the other side of the phone humd.
"Good job. I ca to the other side of the town for so work. I will inform Mr. Lucas about it, and he will communicate your ssage to the prince. Let’s et the girl who dared to challenge our prince," the man said, taking a deep breath.
