Billionaire’s Side Attraction

Lula Lopez

The lady’s eyes flickered with horror as her gaze shifted between Javier and me: “Victim?” She asked in a shaky voice, her bitchy persona long abandoned.

Javier’s nose flared. “Yes, our victim… you don’t know who we are, do you? ANSWER ME!!”

She shuddered. “No, no sir, who are you?” Fear was evident in her expression. Her hands were visibly shaking.

He opened his eyes wide like a scary character in a horror movie, and he whispered. “We are serial killers.”. “If you don’t get us our things, it will be your corpse that gets found in a ditch next, and your hideous photo will appear in the news. I can picture it now, ‘local girl gets murdered and found naked in a ditch’.”

Her eyes widened as she looked into his eyes, searching for a hint of a bluff, but even I was scared of Javier’s demeanor. I mean, I don’t know the man. I was starting to call myself an idiot for asking a total stranger to hitch a ride with me. way to go, Lula; what a great way to keep yourself away from danger.

Her lips shivered and gasps escaped them along with breaking words… “Uh, my boyfriend took ’em.” She admitted as buds of tears threatened to roll down at her eyes.

“Where is he?!” Javier yelled.

She pointed to the old, abandoned diner across the empty street. “Y-Your things are in there, Sir, ma’am.”

Javier dragged her from over the counter down to the floor beside him. “Now, you’re gonna take us there and help us get our stuff back.”

I followed suit as he dragged her to the diner across the street. She opened the door with a key and he followed her in, signaling me to stay outside.

Minutes passed and I was starting to get impatient out here, Where the fuck had they gone?

Suddenly, I felt something pressed against my head from behind. I froze where I stood. A male voice came from behind: “One wrong move and I’ll blow your brains out” I faltered on my words as my heart beat multiplied to a thousand beats per minute. He pulled open the door and shoved me inside. “Go on!!” He ordered while pushing me further into the dark, dusty room with tables and chairs.

We entered a separate room where I found Javier tied to a chair and the lady from the motel standing behind him. Two other guys stood a few feet away from her with guns in their hands. I looked to the right corner of the room and saw my stuff stacked up there. I wonder which one of them is her boyfriend.

The guy who shoved me inside pulled out a chair and forced me to sit on it. Then, one of the other two guys tied my hands and feet to the chair. They gagged my mouth as well. I made eye contact with Javier, he was already staring at me… I felt bad for him cause he had bruises on his face and arms.

The guy who brought me in-pointed the gun in my face. “I know you, I’ve seen you on tv. You’re that superstar’s girlfriend, Lola or Lulu Lopez”. His eye glistened with mischief. “You’ll fetch us some good money when your big-shot Hollywood fiancé pays your ransom.”

I shook my head, but because of the gag, he didn’t hear what I had to say.

“Shut up your fucking mouth!!” He gripped my hair. “Rich folks like you look down on struggling folks like us, don’t you?!” He let go of my hair and pulled out his phone-wait, that’s my phone. This asshole!This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He placed a call and put it on loudspeaker. After three consecutive rings, Carlos’s groggy voice came from the other end: “I knew you’d come around eventually.” Arrogant jerk!

The guy had a star-struck expression written all over his face as he spoke to Carlos. “First of all, I want to tell you, Sir Carlos Martinez, that you’re my favorite singer. Secondly, I have kidnapped your fiancée, and you’ve got till noon tomorrow to pay one million dollars.”

Carlos laughed from the other end. “She put you up for this, didn’t she? When Lula realized that she’s nothing without me, she decides to put her new boyfriend to the task of taking my fucking money.”

The guy’s face starstruck face turned to a confused expression. “But-”

Carlos cut him short. “Listen to this, dude… fuck you!” Then he hung up.

I saw the light slowly vanish from the guy’s eyes as he looked down at the screen. “Proud motherfucker”. His head snapped back up at me. “Bitch, why didn’t you tell me he ain’t your fiancé no more?!” He grabbed my hair and pulled on it, the pain shot through my body and caused me to let out a whimper.

Javier shook in his seat as he shot daggers at the criminal. The guy removed the gag from Javier’s mouth. “What do you wanna say, tough guy?”

Javier cleared his throat and spoke up. “Take the car and everything else, just let her go.”

Is he being serious? I have never met a guy who cared more about my well-being than his own. I have never mattered to anyone that much, but here he is negotiating the freedom of a total stranger before his own.

The guy hit Javier in the face with the butt of his pistol. “You don’t tell me what to do!”

“Fine,” replied Javier through gritted teeth. “What do you wanna do?”

The guy thought for a moment. “I’m gonna kill you both.”

He pointed his gun at us.
