My One And Only

It was eight in the evening and I have been hiding under one of the cars in the garage.

I could not go just yet as the staff must be all inside preparing dinner for Valeria.

I planned to enter when all were out and the halls were empty making it easy for me to take Tinsley out easily as my men would create a commotion in the front gates drawing attention there while we sneaked out through the walls at the back.

Carlos would be waiting there with my car and hospital kit as Madison informed me that her condition was not too good.

Even thinking about it right then itched my skin, not wanting to look back at her in the same state again as I rescued her. I was not ready to face her like that once again but I had to for both of our sakes.

When I heard people walking and talking out of the mansion, I very slowly crawled towards the edge of the garage to see if they were the staff and they were.

It only meant that my aunt had fallen asleep by now and that the entire mansion was empty and void of anyone. Valeria did not like anyone to reside inside in the nights. Only the guards waited outside guarding the front and back gates.

I took a deep breath and sneaked out of the garage, keeping a straight eye on the guards walking on the grounds.

I made my way inside and got in making the most negligible noise in opening the hard wooden door.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I closed it behind me very carefully and then started walking downstairs towards the basement.

I was glad that Madison had figured out the entire route in that short amount of time making it cool for me, having not to waste time in searching for the location.

As I reached the basement, it was night dark down here and I could only wonder how Tinsley was surviving in it.

I switched on the light of my mobile phone and strode towards the last room as stated by Madison.

After getting Tinsley, I knew I would have only a few minutes for us to get out of there as the guards would come in to check the insides routinely.

I had lived here as a boy and I knew how the system worked so I was well aware of it all.

I thought the door would be locked but it was not and I was thankful about it as I opened it and looked around in search of Tinsley.

On moving inside and searching for the entire room and not finding her, even her single hair made me go crazy…for a second I thought what if Josh got her???

I was on the verge of ruining everything, screaming my guts out in frustration.

Where did she go???

Did they take her already??

Or what if she escaped???

While I was busy pondering which question to answer, I heard the guards walking sounds and I hurriedly went ahead and closed the door so that they would not get suspicious.

I heard them walking around, knocking inside every room, talking to themselves.

I only wanted them to be out as soon as possible so that I could look for somewhere else.

It was then I heard a fibble whimpers and clattering noises of chains. It drew my attention and pasted my ear to the door to listen more of it.

“Still trying to escape??? ”

“That hopeless bitch!!! Never understands.”

“I heard that the man would come to take her in the morning.”

And that conversation exchanged between the guards confirmed that Tinsley was indeed here and they had changed her position.

The news warmed my heart knowing she was here and waited impatiently for the guards to walk out sooner so that I could go to her.

And when they were out, I was quick on my feet opening every door and getting inside to find her.

There were in total 10 compartments and only one was left. I knew she was in there, she had to be there.

I opened the door without making any noise and the sight before me broke my heart to bits and pieces.

I could not wait any longer as I strode towards her and got down to embrace her sulken self.

Her hands were tied to the chains attached to the wall, her ankles were chained too, her mouth was enclosed with a piece of cloth, her hairs all over the face, blocking my view.

“Tinsley….”

I whispered her name as I squeezed her in my arms. Hearing my voice, her tensed body eased in my embrace.

“Kian???”

For the first time in my life, I bet I had my eyes watering listening to my name from her mouth so painfully.

I drew apart from her and slid her hairs to the back, making her face clear for my naked eyes to drink in.

Her cheeks were wet and covered with bruises, her eyes staring into mine, minor cuts on the corner of her lips.

Before I could say anything, I first tore open the piece of cloth partially blocking her mouth.

And it did not take much time before her lips landed on mine and I was so happy to feel her again.

Her kiss told me how much she missed me, how much she longed for me in these empty dreaded compartments, chained to the wall.

“I m here now…do not worry!!”

I told her, rubbing her tears away. Her lips were shaking as if wanting to tell me so much more but were not being able to form words.

“We will talk after we get out of here ok??”

I said and she nodded understand me. I got to work to unclip the chairs from around her both wrists and ankles.

It took me time to break her free from them but when I did, it had marks around her skin and it looked so aching.

Her pale white skin had turned red and tender. I wanted to touch it but I knew better than to actually do it. God only knew how much she was in pain.
