BETRAYED AND BROKEN LUKE'S DESPAIR

Chapter 3: Betrayed and Broken: Luke's Despair

Luke stumbled out of Fiona's villa, his mind reeling from the shock of what had just happened. David's proposal to Fiona had been the final nail in the coffin for him. He knew that there was no turning back from this point. The whole evening had been a trap, and he had walked right into it.

He walked in shiver all hope was really lost for him,he had really lost the only woman in his life to his fellow man, he feared greatly as how people would pin point finger on him to be a loser.

He walked aimlessly through the streets, his mind clouded with despair. He couldn't believe that Fiona and her family would go back on Old Grandpa's words. He had given up so much for her, but it was all for nothing. The only thing that remained was the humiliation and the pain that he felt deep in his heart. He really could not believe what had happened earlier on. She was my wife for Heavens sake but they stood idle for another man to put a ring on that same finger again without feeling remorse.

They had no sense of shame, they really planned all this out and not on any day but she accepted fir it to be done on her birthday.

He looked around for a Bar where he would drink his worries out.

Finally, he stumbled upon a bar, and without thinking, he walked in. The bar was crowded, but he managed to find a seat at the end of the bar. He ordered a drink and drowned his sorrows in alcohol. The more he drank, the more his mind became foggy, and the less he felt the pain.

Before he knew it, it was late, and he was completely drunk. He stumbled out of the bar, not knowing where he was going.

Luke could not even pick his old car that he parked at the villa. So he had no choice than to walk through the dark streets for he had no where to go .

He barely noticed the dark figures that had been following him since he left the Bar. Luke was so drunk to the extent that even if he had noticed then earlier he wouldn't not have being able to save his ass .

Suddenly, they pounced on him, grabbing him and throwing him into a van. Luke tried to fight back, but he was too drunk and too weak. He fell unconscious.

When he woke up, he was in a small, dark room. He tried to get up, but his hands and feet were bound. He was scared, and he didn't know what was happening. He tried to call out for help, but his mouth was gagged.

Hours turned into days, and Luke lost track of time. He didn't know how long he had been there. He was given minimal food and water, barely enough to keep him alive. He felt weak and helpless.

He had walked out from trouble and stepped back into trouble as well. What possibly did the captors wanted from him for he had nothin on him and didn't look like someone who is from a rich family to be kidnapped and then ask for a ransom for his release.

Finally, his captors came into the room. They removed his gag, and he tried to ask them what was going on. They laughed at him and told him that he had been kidnapped. They demanded a ransom from his family, and they were willing to kill him if they didn't pay up.

Luke was horrified. He had never felt so alone and scared in his life. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't know if he would ever get out of this alive.

Fir he had no family to contact meanwhile his captors had told him to dial in a family members contact else they would shoot him and leave him to die a miserable death .

Days turned into weeks, and Luke felt himself slipping away. He was losing hope, and he didn't know if he could hold on any longer. But something inside him refused to give up. He remembered the promise he had made to himself, that he would never let anyone put him down again.

With renewed determination, Luke fought back. He worked on his bonds, slowly but surely, until one day, he was free. He escaped from his captors and made his way back to civilization.

Luke was a changed man after that experience. He had faced his deepest fears and come out stronger on the other side. He knew that he could never go back to his old life, but he was ready to start anew. He was determined to make something of himself, and he wouldn't let anyone stand in his way.

As he run off from the captors he had no where to go ,so he joined the streets.

He had found a place to lay off his head and all he could hear was a car honk, he got up and asked what they want from him ,he shivered for they looked exactly as the captors from before.

Luke tried to scream for help for  he had no strength left to even fight back one of them kicked him from behind and he fell on his knees so they took him into the car, for this it was not a van but a really nice car.

Who could they be ,is that they are the old captors who has now returned in a new car or these ones are new.

It took them a while before they reached their destination for it was quite a journey.

Luke had not opened his eyes through out the journey, he was really tired of all that he had gone through the past days .

It was a big mansion nothing compared to where he was taking to ,those guys were real kidnappers but for these ones we never know.

They handed him over to the maidens of the house to take good care of him till he gains consciousness.
