Winnie Smith.

The girl who entered his life 4 years ago.

So young at 16, she managed to make a special place in his heart for herself by uttering that innocent 'I love you.' And then she disappeared.

When her father, David Smith, seeked help for his daughter; to give a position as an intern in his company. He agreed without a hesitation. He wanted to see that 16 year old child who must have turned a grown up adult lady within the four years.

If she turned into a beautiful woman or not, if she still cooks the same and most importantly, if she still had feelings for him.

It's been a week, a whole week without her. Life feels incomplete. Like it's missing a big part. He got used to her presence, like a sunshine, she can brighten up everyone's day. Or like a rainbow, she was; full of colours, always colouring his dull life.

With her, he always had a constant positive vibes around but now with her gone, no one knows where, he doesn't feel a purpose to life anymore.

He chuckled as he took another glass of vodka. Never thought, there will come a day when the little girl, Winnie would be brave enough to leave him. He made sure she was under his control, perhaps that's why he made her sign that five year contract. During the contract, he wasn't very much aware of what he wanted. All the need to have her around was very powerful, he thought within five years it would mend. He will have no such feelings for her anymore.

But now thinking about it, he feels like even a lifetime won't be enough with her. He desperately requires her presence with him all the time. Just 7 days, and he is already going phsyco.

"Dude, you need to tone it down." Said Ethan, grabbing the glass of vodka from tipsy Damien.

"Where can she even go?" Damien asked for the 100th time, not accepting that she left him.

"I think she is with Chris." Replied Ethan.

"Not with him."

"Are you assuring yourself or me, Damien. It's not the first time he is stealing your girl." Snapped Ethan.

"I don't want to believe that. Not again." Said Damien, getting up from the couch, grabbed his car keys.

"And where are you going?"

"Have one on one conversation with the bastard."

...

"It's been a week, I don't see a point in keeping her injected all the time. Let's call him and get over with it." A voice spoke out.

Winnie winced in pain, moving on the dirty floor. She could hear them whisper but didn't understand a word. She doesn't know where she is or what has happened to her.

Continuously getting drugged had a side effect on her brain as well her body. Whenever she wakes up, she wants to go back to sleep right away.

"Have patience, my dear. Let him go crazy."

"I only care about the money. Do it fast. I don't have so much time to deal with all this shit."

"Maybe we can do something, let's send him a photo, shall we?" They looked at eachother and smiled wickedly, knowing all of their plans.

"Slowly Damien Knight will go mad, the fact that he can't do nothing, so helpless, it will haunt his mind. It will eat him alive." She laughed out, inhumanly.

...

While they were still on their way to Chris', Damien's phone rang. Opening it, his eyes widnered as he cursed out loud, hitting his knuckles over the window of the car.

"She has been fucking kidnapped."

Ethan stopped the car in the side, taking the phone from Damien, he gasped at the photo.

"Who do you think it is?"

"Her."

"Who?"

"It's her." Damien chuckled to himself. "I should have seen it coming. Of course, she will stab me where it hurts the most."

Ethan nodded, understanding who Damien meant by 'her'.

"Chris must be involved." Commented Ethan.

"Let's go and find out." Ethan started the engine again as they went to Chris.

As soon as they reached to Chris' mansion. Angry Damien got out of the car and barged inside the mansion where Oakley was sitting on the couch with Chris, doing colors on a colouring book.

"Damien," She exclaimed, noticing Damien.

Chris was taken back at Damien being in his house. Is he here to to make peace, wondered Chris. But unfortunately, that's not why Damien was there.

Oakley stood up and ran towards him, hugging his legs and asking to be picked up. His anger relieved a little at her act, he picked her up and whispered into her ears to get inside her room and he will be there in few minutes as he needs to do the adult talk with Chris. Oakley nodded and ran to her room.

"Where is Winnie?"

Just hearing her name through his mouth, made Damien go crazy within seconds. He came forward towards Chris and attacked his jaw.

"Wtf!" Uttered Chris, as he fell on the ground by Damien's punch. However Damien didn't stop there, kicking him with leg and adding more punch over his jaw, he went insane. He kept beating Chris up until Chris decided he should act too. And then both of them fought, bruising each other.

Ethan stood infront of them, watching them fight. He didn't dare or care to make them stop. From his side Chris deserved it; a good beating. His face turned a bit emotional his, as he remembered how Chris has betrayed not only Damien but him too. That's what he deserves, to die. Damien should kill him.

"Daddy," Said a voice, bringing them all up in the present.

Oakley had tears in her eyes as she watched the scene behold her. Her daddy and Damien fighting like bulls. Their aggressiveness, scaring her, building sudden fear inside her child heart.

Damien stepped back, regretting fighting under the same roof as Oakley though he asked her to stay in her room. But the mess and noise from the fight of course made her curious to come out.

Oakley ran towards Chris, she looked at Damien in angriness. "Daddy, please no Damien." Whispered to Chris.

It was no surprise Oakley was now scared of Damien. Chris looked at Damien with eyes full of pity, hurt and sadness. "You don't leave any opportunity to make anyone hate you. Do you?" He spoke.

"I am not shocked that she finally left." Chris picked up Oakley and took her to his room. Leaving leaving on their own.

...

"He's not involved."

"We can't be sure."

"Ethan, stop frustrating me." Snapped Damien at Ethan loudly.

Ethan was messing with his head, he was already in a mess of thoughts. What must they have done to her, how much pain she is in; all enough to suffocate him. If only he didn't snap that day, she would still be under his care. But was she even happy with him? The answer is no, he knew he was hurting but he kept doing so. His feelings were mixed up, they still are. He doesn't know why he wants her in his life back. He just wants her back.

She is like a rare diamond, too precious for anyone to keep but at the same time the urge to keep it is nerve wrecking. But Damien now was sure, he wants to keep that rare diamond all to himself. He will do his best to protect her from the hungry world, even if it takes his downfall. He is already aware of what her kidnappers might want from him, he can give up his world for her protection.

"Ah smart motherfuckers. The phone number can't be tracked." Said Ethan, closing the laptop.

"That was expected." Shrugged Damien.

He already knows what to do. Taking out the phone from his pocket, he dialed the number of the person he lolthes with all his heart. Never in billion years he imagined, he would be calling her.

"What did I do to get the call from the king, Damien Knight?" Her voice mocked.

"Sick bitch." Said Damien.

"Now now now, Damien. That's not how you talk with someone who holds your lover as a captive." She laughed off, a bit angry at him for cursing her. She spilled what she wasn't supposed to. She wanted him to feel weak; not knowing who has kidnapped Winnie. Damien's hold his knuckles in a tight grip.

He wanted to shout at her, cuss her in and out. But for the sake of Winnie, he has to deal with patience.

"What the fuck do you want?"

"Always on point, just how I like it."

The woman smirked on phone.

"I'll send you the details, Damien Knight. And don't act smart, I have all the back up." Saying that she cut the call.

...

Finally coming to her sense a little, Winnie opened her eyes. Her body felt weak due to not have any nutrients from past week or even a drop of water. Those cruel kidnappers showed no mercy towards her as they laid her down on the floor all the while she has been here. Her back was at the point of breaking, too much pain. She couldn't move her neck in any direction. Every part of her body was hurting.

She sat up, and looked around for water. The room she was kept in, was awful, it was in a worst condition making her feel like claustrophobic as she felt suffocated, gasping for some oxygen.

The memories she recalled were in a blur, the only thing she could recall was getting into Greyson's car. After that, null. She doesn't remember at all.

Of course, he would show himself as a villain, she cursed herself to trust him.

What about Damien? She wondered. He, of course must be having fun in his life as she is gone. She smiled as she thought, Damien has no idea what is happening to her and even if he did, why would he care about her. She massaged her own neck as she sat up, straight putting her back against the wall, relaxing it. The wall was stretchy, digging all the rough part on her back. She moaned in pain, moving away.

Not having any hope for her rescue, she laid back on the ground; curled up, hugging herself as tears welled her eyes.

Wondering what has she done in life to be going through all this. In general everyone's life sucks but her sucks more than normal. "Dad, please come save me." She whispered as she went to another round of drowsiness.

...

The door bell rang.

Ethan looked at Damien in question. Who might can come at this hour. Damien gave him a look 'I don't know,' and got up to open the door.

The anger roared up inside him as he opened the door to Xander. He took a deep breath, relaxing himself. It won't be no good if he snaps at Xander too.

"What do you want?" He spoke, calmly.

"Winnie, is she here?"

"No," Before Damien could shut the door on his face, Xander shot another question, "She hasn't been picking up my phone or replying."

"I don't know." Replied Damien.

"You're her boss. You must know something and what are you doing in her penthouse?"

"What am I doing here?" Damien smiled to himself and asked back.

"Leave, boy, before I lose my patience." Said Damien to Xander.

"I don't understand, you forced her out of the event and then she called me, she sounded sad but then there was car honk and the line went dead."

"Car honk?" Damien muttered to himself.

He then invited Xander in, knowing possiblly he could get some information through him. In the living room, where Ethan was already sitting, looked at Damien in question about who is he.

"Who are you?" Asked Ethan.

"Winnie's boyfriend." Damien spared a glare towards Chris, had his jaw clenched. Trying to control his hungry wolf inside who wants to be let out and beat Xander.

"She has been kidnapped." Damien told him, changing the topic. Not wanting to know how his Winnie can have guts to date someone else. She is supposed to be his alone only.

Xander, not believing, chuckled. But stopped looking at Damien's dead expression.

"Are you being serious now?" He asked.

"Do you perhaps remember at what time she last called you?"

"Wait, let me check my phone."

"It was around 10."

"Great. We can check on the security camera for the car thing."

...

A punch was directed towards Winnie, who was laying lifelessly on the ground. As she didn't move, the woman carved her heels on her stomach, instantly waking her up.

"Finally."

Looking up to see, Winnie was a little shocked. The woman looked too familiar, she is sure she has seen her before but can't really figure out where.

In the office, that day. Her mind clicked. Yep, the same woman who barged in few days ago into Damien's office, making Damien angry. That's her. For sure. But what does she has to do with Winnie.

Million thoughts ran thought her mind as she thought the worst. Her resigning from the job too, it was making sense thinking Damien is behind this.

'Very well said then. Tomorrow the cops will be after you.'

He didn't involve the cops but he made someone kidnap her.

She couldn't believe the man she once loved, did this to her.
