"I went to use the bathroom and after I went out someone catched me from behind I tried to free myself but I couldn't, he threatened to shoot my If I didn't stop struggling, I was scared and just wanted to free myself so I stepped on his foot with all my power and managed to free myself after that he shooted me with the gun, I couldn't see his face ,unfortunately." Ina said, remembering what happened made her body shiver in fear.

"Do you think it's related to the kidnapping incident that happened seven years ago?" The police officer asked.

The police officer alerted everyone in the room, especially her parents.

Ina didn't answer immediately as she hadn't thought about this, but is it?

"I don't know." She replied.

Damien noticed how Ina seemed uncomfortable speaking about the kidnapping incident.

"I think it's enough today, she needs to rest." He said and the police officer nodded his head and left.

Ina tried to act normal in front of her parents but the truth is that she was triffid, was that man following her again and why? Why her of all people?

Just then Damien received a phone call.

"I need to take this, I won't take long." Damien said to Ina before he left the room.

...

Outside the room.

"Sir, we were able to catch him." The man on the phone said.

Damien smiled hearing the news.

"That's good, keep him with you, I will pay him a visit tomorrow morning." Damien said before he hung up the phone and went back to the room.

...

Later at night.

Ina's parents had gone back to their home after Damien asked them to and told them that he will stay with Ina.

Looking at her bandaged leg, Ina sighed.

"What is it? Does it hurt?" Damien asked.

"No, it's just, forgets it." Ina said as she covered her leg with the blanket.

"Tell me what is, or else you will make me worried." Damien asked as he held her hand.

Ina pouted her lips as she looked at him.

"I'm worried that it will leave a bad scare and you won't find me attractive, I'm sick and now I might have an ugly scare, I'm afraid that you will lose interest in me." She said.

Damien shook his head helplessly as he looked at her, he couldn't believe how silly she is being right now.

"You have been shot and you might have died because of excessive blood loss and that's what you are thinking about." He said and saw how she lowered her eyes.

"I won't lose interest in you Ina because it's not your body that I like, it's your soul that I'm in love with, do you understand now?" He asked, cupping her face with both hands.

Ina smiled and nodded her head.

"Thank you, this made me feel better." She said.

After this, Ina went to sleep but Damien didn't, he was thinking about telling Ina the truth about his uncle and the man who kidnapped her and this made him worried and anxious, but he has too, he needs to tell, she should hear it from him than anyone.

...

The next morning.

"You should eat it too." Ina said as she fed Damien some of her breakfast.

"Thank you." Damien thanked her.

"Do you think the police will be able to catch that man?" Ina asked as she wiped her mother with the napkin.

Damien acted normal and replied.

"I hope so."

"Are you going to the company? my parents are going to be here soon so you can go." Ina said running her fingers through his soft black hair.

Damien closed his eyes and leaned into her touch, he took a deep breath preparing himself for what he is going to tell her.

"I will, but first there is something important I need to tell you about and I need to promise to hear me until the end, okay?" Damien asked her.

"I promise." Ina replied and waited for him to start talking.

"The man who kidnapped you seven years ago, is my uncle." Damien spoke and watched the shock on Ina's face.

Ina just stared at him and didn't say anything allowing him to continue.

"I found out the truth shortly after we met, the reason why I didn't tell was that I was scared that you might leave me." Damien paused taking a deep breath before he continued.

"My family and my uncle had cut ties a long time ago because of his actions, he is a wanted criminal to the police."

Ina frowned hearing this.

"D... Do you mean he is still alive?" She asked.

"Yes, but no one knows where he is." Damian replied.

Ina gulped in fear, that's mean that her parents had been lying to her all these years, she suddenly felt scared.

"Is there other women other than me who have been kidnapped?" She asked and Damien nodded his head.

"You are not the first, but you are the first one who was saved from him, that's why I have a feeling that whoever tried to kidnap you were sent by him." Damien replied.

"Oh my god, this is very scary." Ina said as she held Damien's hand.

Damien didn't add anything giving her the time to comprehend everything that he just said.

"Was he always like this?" Ina asked after a short period of silence.

"No, he once was married to a woman that he loved but she suddenly asked him to divorce her seeing that she met another person, he wants crazy after this, so he killed and started to kidnap and assault any female with blonde hair, it felt like he was repeating his revenge ever time he kidnapped a victim." Damien replied and noticed the fear in Ina's eyes.

"This means that I am in danger right?" Ina asked as she looked at Damien.

"Unfortunately, yes." Damien replied.

Ina pulled Damien's hand and made him sit with her on the bed.

"I don't blame for what he did." She said as she hugged.

Right now, all that she needs is to stay in his arms to feel safe.

"Nothing will happen, he will never get to you, I promise." Damien said pressing his lips on her forehead in a lingering kiss before he pulled away.

...

In an unknown place.

The sound of a hard slap echoed in the room.

"I didn't order you to shoot her, I ordered you to bring her alive, in one piece." Oliver said.

"Sir it wasn't me, it was James who shot her and disappeared after that." The man replied.

"Get out." Oliver ordered them, after they left he walked towards the deck table and sat down on the chair.

Oliver turned on the laptop that was on the table and played a video.

It was a video that he had recorded the day he kidnapped Ina seven years ago, he still remembers that day clearly like it was yesterday, the girl was different from all his victims, he still remembers how she was moving and whining in pain uncomfortably because of the drug that he had given her.

He hadn't expected that his nephew and this girl would end up together, but this will spice things up, he won't kill her once he has her, he has different plans for her.

...

At the hospital.

Ina sighed as she looked outside the open window, she was thinking about what Damien told her, she was still in shock, this is something that no one can imagine, she started to have the same fears that she spent years trying to get rid of.

Also, there is Damien who was blaming himself for not telling her earlier, but it wasn't his fault, this is fated to happen, he had distended himself from her since yesterday, thinking that she doesn't want him beside her, if it weren't for her leg should have beaten some sense in him.

"Where have you been?" Ina asked when she saw him entering the room.

"I brought you some clothes and some things that you might need." Damien replied, placing the bag on the table.

Seeing how he avoided looking at her, Ina decided to do something.

"Come here." Ina said patting the space on the bed for him to take and he did.

Taking off his shoes he joined her in the bed being careful not to hurt her.

"I know what you are doing and I need you to stop it. I don't like it when you leave me and don't tell me where you are going, it makes me feel insecure." Ina said as she looked up at him.

Damien sighed realising his mistake, he should have been careful with her feelings.

"I'm sorry." Damien said as he kissed her forehead.

Warping her arms around his waist, she pecked his lips and pulled away and cupped his face with both hands.

"Nothing will happen that will make me hate you, it's not your fault that he is your uncle, I love you and that will never change, okay?"
