Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 67

"Where are you? I thought you would be back by now," she said and I smiled.

"Almost back. Gabby forgot something and I'm waiting, licking on my ice cream."

"Stop calling him that! I don't want you to come home with bruises and broken bones," she said and I giggled.

"He won't hurt me and he's not--" before I could complete my sentence, a handkerchief was pressed on my nose.

My ice cream and phone fell from my arms as I trashed around and tried to pry the hold off me.

I heard my name being called by Kat from the phone but I couldn't answer. I saw that the hold became stronger so I relaxed and tried to breathe deeply, to prevent myself from fainting but I was so naive to not know that I was being drugged. And just like that, I was dragged into a deep slumber!!!

*Third Person Point Of View*

Gabriel rushed back with a slightly faint speed. He wanted to get to Laura quickly before she got a hint of his surprise.

Yeah, a surprise! Her birthday was coming up in a week time and he was prepared for it. All the grand gestures were to keep her mind out of it.

Slowly, he approached the spot he left her a few minutes ago. The sight before him didn't make sense. He felt like crying.

Where is the Laura that I left here? He thought and panic.

Looking at the scene he already knew what happened..

Her ice cream was scattered on the ground, her phone shattered and a piece of cloth roughly laid on the floor.

He sucked in breath and walked closer to the item. Swiftly pulling it up, he froze at the situation.

He looked at the item with confusion and anger. Right there was written boldly and clearly, "Your beloved shall never be seen by you again! I'll make sure of that" that was the answer to his question. The answer that he feared. Laura had been kidnapped!!

Confused, he looked around. How could someone kidnap her without being seen? He thought but looked again.

How could he have been so dumb. Why did he leave her alone, at a place were people hardly passed. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! But his ranting couldn't bring her back. It's not like she's dead or something but he...

He regained himself and the first person he called was Mr Howard.

Mr Howard was handling some documents when the call came through. Him being a busy man glared at the phone, but quickly answered, not even glancing at the caller's name.
