TRAPPED: Hideo Colombo Book 1

YSOLDE’s POV

“Wake up!”

I woke up suddenly when I heard a woman’s voice, and her soft tapping on my thigh.

Even though I could feel the pain in my head and my whole body… I slowly opened my eyes. The first thing that appeared in my blurry vision was the face of a woman who seemed to be close to my age. She was wearing a black leather jacket and black pants. Her hair is braided, and she also wears lipstick. She’s staring at me.

My entire body was in so much pain, I couldn’t move from my place. All night, I just sat and leaned against the headboard of the bed. My hair and the clothes I was wearing were also dry. My hands that were still handcuffed above the headboard were numb, and I was unable to feel them anymore.

Thank God, and this woman did not find me inside this room as a cold and stiff corpse. I’m still alive. But should I be thankful because I’m still alive today? I am certain that I will face another problem today. What will happen to me now?

“Who are you?” I asked her later when I felt that she still didn’t take her eyes off me.

The woman just frowned.

“I said, w-who are you?”

Currently, I am realizing that my voice was weak. Almost no voice came out of my mouth. Maybe because of the cold and the seawater that dried up on my body last night, that’s why I lost my voice.

“Eat!”

I also saw the tray on the side of the bed. Suddenly, my stomach churned with hunger when I saw the food.

“H-how can I eat?” I asked and looked at my hand, that was still handcuffed.

The woman took a deep breath and grabbed something from her pants pocket. I saw her take the key from there, then she came to the side of the bed and removed the handcuffs from my hand. When the handcuffs were removed, I felt the pain in my wrists. But I also breathed a sigh of relief and felt better afterward. I grabbed my pulse and massaged it lightly. I have a wound and there is still blood. Possibly because I stretched my hand last night while I was sleeping.

“Eat before the boss comes. I’m sure he’ll be mad at me for feeding you.”

I looked at her again when I heard what she said. She walked over to the single couch in the room’s corner and sat there. She rested her elbows on the armchair while staring at me seriously.

Unconsciously, I swallowed and avoided looking at her. I looked back at the food she brought earlier. When my stomach growled again, I slowly reached for the tray and ate quietly. Somehow, I felt relief in my stomach.

“Are you done?”

Later, I heard the woman’s question, so I looked in her direction again. I nodded slightly.

She stood up from where she was sitting and approached the bed again.

“Get dressed later. Your clothes are already dry, after all. I can’t give you clothes now because my boss will scold me.”

“B-but…” I stammered. “But I want to take a shower. I’m itching and… I would like to pee.”

“I’m sorry. But I can’t give you what you want. Just wait for the boss to come later.”

I was about to speak, but suddenly, she grabbed my hands and handcuffed them above the headboard again.

“Please! I’m really peeing. Promise, I’ll just be in the bathroom for a moment.”

“I’m sorry,” she said. “Only two hours and the boss will be here.”

My eyes widened. What? In two hours? I have to wait two hours before I can pee? Oh, why won’t she just let me go to the bathroom? Why do I have to wait two hours if I’m just going to use the bathroom for a moment? I get kidney stones if I hold my urine that long.

“P-please! Two hours is a long time. I’m just going to pee for a while!” I am still begging her.

But she didn’t look at me. Instead, she picked up the tray and silently left the room, leaving me alone.

I let out a deep sigh and leaned against the headboard. My God! I’ve only been locked up in this house for a day… but it feels like years have passed since Hideo brought me here. I miss my papa already. Furthermore, I want to go home.

In addition, I didn’t realize the time, and I fell asleep again. Not only that, but I just woke up when I felt a hand caressing my thigh. When I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see the man sitting on the edge of the bed next to me. This is one of Hideo’s men.

He smiled widely as he stared at me.

I was suddenly struck with fear when I thought of what this man was planning now. I looked at his rough and dark hand, that was still caressing my thigh.

“W-what are you doing?”

“Shhh!” He even signaled to me not to make any noise.

I shook my head, one after another. Later, his hand went up to my stomach.

“P-please! No! Please stop it!”

I felt so scared because of what this man was doing. In my entire life, this happened only now. Even Zakhar, in our two-year relationship, never once touched my thigh. I only gave him a kiss because I wanted to keep myself clean until we got married. But this man… he dared to touch my thigh.

I wanted to remove his rough hand from my stomach, but I couldn’t because I was still handcuffed.

“Please! Don’t!” The corner of my eye got hot, and it took only a few seconds for my tears to fall.

God! What is happening to me now? Is this a punishment for disobeying Papa’s order? That’s all I did wrong, but why is my punishment so much?

“Shhh! Don’t be loud, they might hear us.”

“Please, don’t!” I said, shaking my head.

“Don’t worry, the boss isn’t here yet, so give me what I want first.” He grinned again, disgusted.

“Help!” I screamed. But I was also suddenly stunned when he pulled out a knife from his side. He pointed it at me.

“I told you not to scream, or I’m going to kill you right now,” he said.

I could do nothing but keep quiet, and I kept my mouth shut.

The man acted. He crawled from my feet. I wanted to step on him between his legs, but his knife was pointed at me.

“You look delicious! Boss Hideo was lucky and got you.”

He was about to kiss me, but suddenly the door opened. The man looked at the door, even me. Only then did my hope come alive and the fear in my heart disappeared when I saw Hideo.

“What are you doing, moron?” he asked angrily.

I could clearly see how his jaw tensed when he took big steps closer to the bed.

“B-boss!” the man stuttered and said in fear as he hurriedly left on top of me. “S-sorry, boss!”

Hideo did not speak. Instead, he grabbed the collar of his bodyguards’s clothes and gave him a series of hard punches in the stomach. He fell to the floor.

“Damn! Why did you enter this room?” asked Hideo.

“S-sorry, boss. I just wanted…”

“What do you want?”

“Sorry boss!”

“Damn it!” Hideo kicked the man hard in his stomach. “Take this trash outside and tie him up. Wait for me outside!” He sternly ordered his men outside the room.

I was just stunned because of the fear I felt because of what that man did to me.

“Hey!”

I looked at him when he patted my arm. I raised my face and stared at him, and I saw no other emotion on his face at that moment but anger. Again, tears flowed from my eyes, one after the other.

He heaved a deep breath and took the handcuff key from his pants pocket, and he released my hands. As soon as those handcuffs were removed from my hands-even though my whole body is still weak because of the pain in my back and the fear I felt earlier because of that maniac… I suddenly stood up on the bed and hugged Hideo. Even if he kidnapped me and brought me to this island. Even though I was afraid of him… I am truly grateful to him right now. Because if he doesn’t come soon, I don’t know what that man is doing to me.

“T-thank you. Thank you.” I told him while crying, and my entire body was still trembling because of fear. I hugged him so tight.

Furthermore, I didn’t hear a word from him. But I felt him holding my waist. It’s like he’s telling me, Welcome.
