I open my eyes slowly, and although the light in the room is dim (almost nonexistent), I can distinguish three figures in front of me who seem to be carrying weapons.

I try to speak, but my nerves won't allow it. Besides, I have some tape over my mouth, which was surely placed by these men.

"She's awake," one of them said. "Call the boss."

The boss? Who the hell is "the boss"?

I try to move, but it's useless. I'm tied up both at the feet and hands.

"Relax, little one," I hear near my ear. "You're here for the common good."

The common good? God, every word these men say only confuses me more.

Two of them move away from me a bit and start talking, while another goes in search of "the boss." Despite the distance, I can hear the conversation, which without a doubt revolves around me.

"The boss will love having her here," I hear.

"No doubt he wasn't wrong in asking for a girl as sexy as her," he points at me.

They both fall silent when the lights in the room turn on. Now I can see more clearly. I'm in a kind of spacious warehouse. Also, now I can perfectly see those men who were talking about me. One is completely bald. I'm sure I could see my reflection on his bald head, and the other has long, black hair. If I'm honest, his hair looks better taken care of than mine.

The door of the place opens behind and that's when I start trembling again. My hands become soaked in sweat again, and my heart rate increases even more.

"Is she her?" I hear behind me.

The voice I hear is deep and sounds threatening, so much so that it gives me goosebumps in an incredible way.

"Yes, boss, it's her," they answer the question.

"She's perfect."

I close my eyes tightly while I hear that subject approaches slowly.

"Open those beautiful blue eyes, babe," he whispers.

I open my eyes slowly to reveal that I am not the blue-eyed girl mentioned. My eyes are brown, the most common color.

"I'm Elias Walton," he says at the same time he begins to remove the tape from my lips. "You're Emily Johnson, right?"

"No," I said with fear. "I'm Mia Parker."

Elias turns his back instantly and hits a small table hard, making me jump with fright.

"Damn it," he says before walking towards one of his men. "She's not Emily Johnson."

"Of course she is," he assures with certainty. "We were following her and..."

"She's Mia Parker, not Emily!" he shouts.

"She's still pretty, even more than the girl you ordered," the bald man replies, trying to control Elias's anger, who immediately hits his nose, causing it to bleed.

He looks at me again, but this time with fury, so much so that I fear for my life because I don't know what this guy is capable of.

"It doesn't matter," he approaches me again after letting out a big sigh.

"What are you going to do to me?" I ask with a weak voice.

"Relax, babe," he puts one of my strands of hair behind my ear. "I won't do anything to you, and neither will Abel and Adam. On the contrary, they will take care of you from now on."

"Then why do you have me tied up here?" I said with a frown.

"There was a slight confusion," he replies. "But you still serve me."

"Serve you?" I raise one of my eyebrows.

"I know you don't understand anything right now," he puts one of his strong hands on one of my thighs. "But I'm going to explain it to you."

Elias moves away from me a little, takes a chair located on the white wall of the warehouse and sits next to me and lowers his gaze towards his shoes.

"You're young, you must be 19 or 20 years old."

"I'm 17 years old," I said, correcting him.

"Younger than I thought," he whispers.

"Tell me once and for all why you have me here!" I shouted with desperation.

"Shhh," he puts his index finger on my thin lips. "Be quiet or you'll really get to know me angry."

He begins to remove his finger over my lips, smiles before leaning his back completely on the chair and looks at me fixedly with those striking emerald green eyes.

"You will carry my future child in your womb..."

His words echo in my mind for several minutes, I can't believe that the only objective of my kidnapping is to become a mother, I never thought there were such demented people in this world.

Besides, I shouldn't have to go through this, the girl who was originally going to be kidnapped and impregnated was a certain Emily Johnson.

"If what you need is money, I can talk to my brothers and..."

"Please, brat," he says, laughing, "I practically swim in money, I don't need a ransom for you, all I need is a child, and you will give it to me."

"Please, I beg you," I plead, on the verge of tears. "Let me go, I swear I won't let the authorities know anything about this."

"The authorities don't matter to me at this moment," he says, getting up from the chair decisively. "What really matters to me is starting with the necessary process to get you pregnant."

"Are you going to abuse me? Are you going to rape me?" I said, scared.

Losing my virginity this way wasn't how I imagined it, I always thought I would fuck for the first time in a hotel, where rose petals would be both on the bed and on the floor and around everything there would be aromatic candles lighting the place, but I guess what we want doesn't always happen.

"No," he affirms. "I don't have such a twisted mind to do something like that."

"Then how..."

"You will get pregnant by artificial insemination," he says, interrupting me.

Elias starts looking for something in his back pocket of his pants and when he finally finds it he shows it to me, making my eyes widen.

He has a damn knife in his hand!

He will surely cut me into little pieces!

"Do you want to stop being so scared?" he says after seeing my face full of terror, he approaches me and cuts the ropes located on my feet but leaves my hands still tied. "I already told you, I won't do anything to you."

I get up from the chair and keep my eyes on the ground because I don't dare to look at this man.

"Come with me," he orders as he walks towards the door of the warehouse.

I obey instantly because both Abel (the bald one), and Adam (the man with the best-groomed hair than mine) put their weapons against my back, surely waiting for me to make a wrong move to shoot.

AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF ME!

I walk next to my kidnapper until we both leave that warehouse.

"Put the blindfold on her again," Elias indicated.

I don't have time to react after hearing Elias's request to his men, because the bald one grabs me tightly while his partner blindfolds me again.

"Is it necessary to cover my eyes?" I ask, panicking.

Just the feeling of not being able to see what's around you and how dangerous the place is causes me too much conflict, it's so desperate to be in this horrible situation.

"It's for safety," Elias says, whispering in my ear.

"Safety? I don't understand?"

"Just walk, miss," indicates Abel's voice.

I start to take weak and slow steps, I don't even know where I'm walking and the idea of ​​running away at this moment is not very good to say the least.

"Get in the car," he says firmly. "It's in front of you."

I take the first step to get into the blessed car, but as I imagined, I ended up slipping and falling into someone's arms.

"I can't believe you can't even get into a car by yourself," Elias snorts as he holds me tightly.

He lifts me up in his arms as if I were a baby and places me on the back seat which is very soft, by its texture it must be a luxurious car.

"Put her to sleep," he orders.

"Put me to sleep? But..."

Instantly one of the men covers my nose with a cloth dampened with some substance, surely chloroform, it is the most used to put to sleep.

I fight with all my might, I kick and hit whoever is near me trying to get them away from me, but nothing works, they are more in number and in strength so I give up and little by little my eyes close after smelling that damp cloth.

"All that's left is to wait," I hear while my eyes are still closed.

"Do you think I got pregnant?"

"Surely," that voice replied. "You have to wait two weeks to take a pregnancy test and see if the insemination worked."

I move my head from side to side slowly as I open my eyes.

"Calm down," someone puts their hand on my shoulder. "You must stay relaxed and at rest for a few hours, you have just undergone a procedure to get pregnant."

Damn it! This has to be a damn joke!

I had the false illusion that when I woke up I would find myself in my room, that Daniela, my younger sister, would run in and jump on my bed to jump, while Daniel, my older brother, ran after her, but it is not like that, the reality is that I am kidnapped and I have just been artificially inseminated without even knowing it.

This progressed so fast, just six hours ago I was leaving my job as a cashier in a coffee shop and while walking through a lonely alley those men grabbed me by the waist, covered my mouth and a black van approached in a hurry.

And just like that, without leaving a trace of anything, Mia Parker disappeared from one moment to another.

Now my destiny is decided, I am going to become a mother even if I oppose it.

I lie back on the soft pillow of the bed where I was lying and let a tear run down my cheek.

It hurts so much, it hurts to be in a place you don't know, it hurts to be surrounded by people who are only using you for their convenience, and it hurts so much to know that you will become a mother to a complete stranger.

"Are you alright, Miss Parker?" questions the doctor who was still by my side.

"She's better than ever," Elias replies for me. "She's excited to be a mother."

I look at Elias with fury on my face, I just can't understand how he can say something like that, I will NEVER be excited to become a mother, much less if I'm forced to.

"I don't know, Parker doesn't look good," the doctor assures.

"Look, doctor, I paid you a large sum of money to come and perform a treatment so that my girlfriend would get pregnant, not to question anything strange you see."

After hearing Elias call me "girlfriend", I understood everything perfectly.

Apparently the doctor doesn't know anything about what happened before his arrival, he doesn't know that I'm kidnapped, he was only called to do his job.

It's my moment, it's time to shout for help and be able to get out of this horrible place.

I straighten up a bit from the bed until I am sitting up completely, I grab the white coat of that doctor desperately and beg him for help regardless of the fact that my kidnapper is still present.

"Please help me," I pause to find the right words, "I'm kidnapped and they're forcing me to..."

Several drops of blood fall on my face before I could finish speaking, I involuntarily close my eyes tightly to avoid seeing the horrible scene that was caused by my fault.

I open my eyes again and with terror I look down at the floor and I manage to see the doctor with a large bullet impact in his head.

Fuck, he just killed the doctor in front of me!

I remain in shock for a few minutes until Elias approaches me, he pushes me with both hands making me fall on the bed and climbs on top of me.

"You're an idiot!" he shouts, slapping me. "How could you do something like that!"

His hands clench tightly and he punches one of my eyes, making me let out a loud scream of pain, but despite my screams and pleas he continues to hit me until Abel and Adam enter the room and pull him off me.

"Sir, you're going to kill her if you keep hitting her!" Adam shouts.

"Stay out of it, this is none of your business, it's with this trash!" he points at me while I wipe the blood from my mouth.

"Of course I'm getting involved, you hired us to take care of Miss Parker, and that's what we'll do, we'll take care of her even from you," I declare defensively.

My aggressor looks at me one last time, cleans his hands a little and leaves the room slamming the door loudly behind him.

"You're safe now, nothing will happen to you with us," they affirmed. "Wait here."

They both enter the bathroom of the room and after a few short minutes they come out with a small first aid kit.

"We'll help you heal those wounds," Abel expressed, sitting next to me with a cotton ball covered in alcohol.

"I can do it myself," I take the cotton ball and place it on my lower lip.

I knew that asking for help would bring negative consequences, but I never thought it would end with my face full of blows and with a lifeless body on the carpet of the place.

"Why are you doing this to me?" I ask, looking at them.

"Mr. Walton forces us," Adam says.

"Why does he want a child so desperately?"

"We can't tell you," he explains, avoiding my gaze.

"When I was in that warehouse, they said that this was for a common good, what common good were they talking about?"

"That will have to be explained to you by the man, not me," he gets up leaving me alone in the bed. "And if you excuse me, we have to go."

Immediately I leave the cotton ball soaked with my blood on the bed and I get up quickly to stand in front of them preventing them from leaving.

"Don't leave me alone," I begged. "I don't want him to come back and hit me."

"Don't worry, we'll stay close to the area," he assures.

My "bodyguards" leave the room and a few seconds later I hear them lock the door.

The panic of being locked up is low, the truth is that it relaxes me to know that for a good time Elias will not come in to hurt me.

I approach the window and open the blinds slowly so that the little light of the day enters.

The view I have from the room is beautiful, I can see a beautiful garden surrounded by red and white roses, and there is also a gigantic pool in the middle of the whole place.

The door of the place opens again and with fear running through my body I look behind me.

I imagined that Elias was the one who would cross that door, but in reality who was there was a girl of some 20 years who wears a black and white uniform and in her hands she brings a tray with food.

"Miss, here is your food," she puts the silver tray on the bed.

"If Elias sent that food take it away," I declared returning to see that beautiful garden from the window.

"It is important that you eat something, you can't be without eating anything the time you are here."

"I just want to die one way or another," I confessed sadly. "And I hope it's soon."

"Mr. Walton wouldn't like to hear that."

"I don't care, I think it's valid to want to die after what he did to me."

I turn around slowly showing my face bruised and swollen from the blows.

"Were you the one who was begging for help?" she asks, surprised.

I nod my head while letting the tears run uncontrollably down my cheeks.

"You must understand that Mr. Walton is not having a good time, he is very pressured to have an heir."

I approach that sweet young woman and take her by the shoulders.

"Could you explain to me why he wants a child so much?"

"Pablo Walton, his father, forces him and pressures him to have children," she confesses, clarifying my doubts. "His father can only leave him the family business if he has a child, otherwise the business will pass into the hands of Ana, his younger sister."

"But why kidnap a girl instead of looking for a woman to become his girlfriend and then his wife?"

"I don't know," she shrugs her shoulders at the same time that she closes the door of the room discreetly. "In the last three months he has kidnapped more than ten girls, but none of them managed to give him a child, the women who failed to get pregnant he murdered and then disappeared their bodies, and those who did become pregnant he treated like queens, but for some strange reason those girls always lost the baby."

"How do you know that?" I ask, astonished.

"This mansion has so many secrets, all the employees here know them, but we are forbidden to talk about it."

I have no doubt, he is a complete madman, just imagining how he murdered those girls who could not get pregnant makes my stomach churn, now I realize that Elias Walton is someone who only uses women for his convenience and when they are no longer "useful" he gets rid of them in such a bizarre way.

Those words he told me in the warehouse are a lie.

"I won't do anything to you" he said, but guess who ended up beaten and soon, in some not too distant future, dead.
