She Will Be Mine
YBTM | Chapter 10

The sun was warm, the sky clear, and everything seemed so peaceful. The birds were happily singing and everything was perfect. Today was the day I was waiting for. The day Mike and I would be getting married. I was standing in the room, nervous as I anxiously waited to be called.

"Relax. It's going to be perfect." Nicole tried to calm my nerves as she touched my makeup.

"I know." I let out a breath. "I've just been waiting for this day for so long, I don't want anything to go wrong.'

"Nothing will. You and Mike are getting married and it's going to be the best day of your life."

"I sure hope you're right." I bit my lip as I looked down at my light pink wedding dress that flowed just like a ball gown. My hair was all pulled up in a fancy twist, my makeup light. I played with the engagement ring Mike gave me a year ago. I never thought this would happen, but it finally has.

"There. Perfect." She said as she took a look at me.

"Thank you so much." I pulled her into a hug. "For everything."

"That's what friends are for." She grinned with a chuckle. "Now, don't cry. You're going to mess up all my hard work." She patted my back. I laughed, taking a few deep breaths and carefully wiping the tears from my eyes.

"Mike's going to die when he sees you." She commented once I stood.

"When doesn't he?" I laughed, lightening up the mood.

"True." She laughed as we heard my music start to play. "There's your cue." She nudged me to the door.

"Lets do this." I shook out and nerves I had left. We walked to the door, her going out before me as I stood there waiting to go out. I looked down the isle to see Mike standing there next to Alex, looking as handsome as ever. Just as I was about to walk out, someone blocked my view. I blinked a few times, them coming into focus. I gasped once I saw who it was. Before I had the chance to do anything, everything seemed to change in the blink of an eye.

"What the hell?!" I heard a voice shout in the distance. My head was pounding and my vision was blurry. I felt like I had run into a brick wall, my body was so heavy and cold. I shivered a bit as I slowly blinked my eyes open. I looked around, trying to get a sense of my surroundings. Once my vision cleared, I realized I was in a car and it was going fast as I was being tossed around on the back seat.

"We have company." I heard someone say, a bit closer than before.

"Who?" I looked up to see Ted with a fowl look on his face.

"Look." The other man said. I finally realized it was all a dream and I was still with Ted and Cody, not Mike. I tried to move, but my body was still heavy.

"Damn it!" Ted growled. I started to shift a bit in the spot I was lying, only to be held down. I don't know what he gave me, but it made it very hard to fight back against him.

"Oh good. You're awake." I looked up to see him smirking down at me.

"What the fuck did you do to me!" I growled through my teeth, trying to get past the pounding in my head.

"Nothing. Maybe next time you won't give me so much trouble." His voice seemed so cold and uncaring. Suddenly, the car swerved to the right, then to the left. "Dude!" Ted shouted.

"What?!" Cody shouted. "He's catching up!" He swerved again.

"You're going to get us killed!"

"Am not. Just sit there with her and keep her quiet. I'm trying to concentrate." Cody seemed annoyed. That gave me an idea. I moved my hand up slowly from my side and rested it on Ted's leg. Without warning, I pinched it as hard as I could.

"Bitch!" He screamed in pain.

I got up as quickly as I could to see Mike not too far behind us. Ted started to pull my arm, but I was not going to let him get the best of me. I kept hitting him with my elbows the best I could. I reached for the door handle to try and open the door. I didn't care if the car was speeding down the road, I wanted out of this car.

"Will you sit her the fuck down! I can't concentrate!" Cody yelled.

"Screw up!" I spat, slapping Ted across the face.

"That's it!" Ted hissed, grabbing my hand and pushing me down on the seat with all his force, his body weight heavy on me. I smirked, lifted my knee and hit him right in the nuts. He fell off me slightly, holding himself in pain. I scrambled to my feet and started to open the door again.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Cody glanced to see me opening the door while trying to hold me back the best he could.

"Getting the hell away from you!" I spat. I almost had the door open when I felt something pinch me in the arm. I bit down hard on my lip, still trying to fight as much as I could to get the door open. Soon my body started to go numb and limp. Before I knew it, I was on my back again, looking up at Ted as he seethed down at me.

"You're so going to pay for that." He gritted through his teeth. I felt something against my cheek, but my body was too numb to feel anything.

"Fuck...you!" I managed to get out before I started to drift off once again.

"My pleasure." He grinned and that was the last thing I remember.

Once again, I was overcome by darkness and left at the mercy of Ted. I was praying that Mike would get to us and him and all my father's men would put an end to Ted for good.

It has been two long days since I last saw Mike. My body was aching, my head pounding, everything hurt. It hurt to breathe, move, even open my eyes. Today was not as bad as yesterday when Ted threw me against the wall after kicking him in the nuts. After he did that, Cody then took me to bed and that was the last thing I remembered. I woke up to my whole body aching and nothing on but a sheet. All I could think about was being with Mike in his strong, protecting arms, safe from all this torture. As I lay there with my eyes closed, I focused on Mike's voice, telling me that everything was going to be fine and that he loved me. His blue eyes were so full of love and compassion, I started to tear up at not being able to see them again.

"Wake the hell up!" Someone shouted, bringing my out of my thoughts.

"...no..." I muttered, refusing to look at them. I am too sore and tired to deal with anyone or anything right now. All I wanted was for this to all be over.

"Bitch, I said wake up!" They gritted their teeth, grabbing my arm and pulling me out of bed.

"What the hell!?" I tried jerking my arm away. "Get the fuck off me!" I pulled harder, only to have something connect with my face, making it sting. I tried bringing my hand to my face, only to have it pushed away.

"You're only making it harder for yourself." They whispered in my ear coldly.

"Cody!" I heard Ted yell. Yup, I was left alone with Cody, again. I'm beginning to like being alone with Ted more, believe it or not. He's not as rough as Cody...well, not all the time. They are both just as sick and twisted as the other. No wonder they are so close.

"What?" Cody snapped his head at the door where Ted was with something in his hand.

"What's going on?" Ted asked as he closed the door, setting the stuff on the table.

"She wouldn't wake up and tried to get away again." Cody lied. Man, I hate this asshole. "I did-" I was cut off.

"Don't lie honey. You know you did." Cody smirked through his lying teeth.

"Asshole." I muttered.

"What was that?" His hold on my arm got tighter, causing me to wince at the pain shooting through my arm.

"Nothing." I simply said, wanting to be done with him and this conversation.

"Good." He let go of my arm, pushing me on the bed. "Get dressed." He ordered. Who the hell does he think he is, ordering me around? I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

"Why?" I asked, rubbing my arm, trying to get the throbbing to stop. "Need to know." He said. "Something you don't have to worry about." "Whatever." I rolled my eyes, knowing how much that pissed him off. "Hey-" He started.

"Enough!" Ted shouted, getting annoyed.

"Can I get a shower?" I asked, changing the subject. I really need to get a shower and get the feeling of them off me. I felt so dirty and disgusting. I'm sure a nice hot shower would fix that.

"I'll come." Cody smirked, moving closer to me. I tried to keep the bile from rising in my throat. I didn't want him anywhere near me.

"She won't go anywhere." Ted grinned.

"How do you know?" Cody raised a brow.

"Top floor. She tires and that will be the last thing she does." Ted smirked, making me shiver.

"So...can I?" I asked impatiently, crossing my arms and tapping my fingers on my elbows.

"Go. Fifteen minutes." Ted instructed.

I nodded, getting up slowly from the bed and went over to a bag of things they had for me. I picked out a pair of jeans and a baggy shirt along with a few other things, then walked into the bathroom. Once in there, I pressed my back to the door, sliding down it. With my hands in my head, all I could think about was where Mike was right now and if he was any closer to replaceing me. I really hoped and prayed that he was. I don't know how much more of this I could take. I was being as strong as I could, but I could only take so much.

"Where in the fuck are they!" I shouted at Alex who was trying to replace the GPS on Nicole's phone that Ted had taken. It had been two days since Ted had taken Vi and we were no closer to getting her back. After chasing them for a few miles, I lost them in traffic at the airport. I checked all flights, private and commercial, but none left. That meant it was all a ruse to lose me and take Vi somewhere until it was clear they were not being followed.

"Dude, chill. I'm trying." Alex said in a calm tone.

"Chill? CHILL!? How the hell am I supposed to 'chill' when that monster has Vi and is doing god knows what to her, huh?! Tell me!" I yelled, beyond furious. It was taking way too long to replace her and I was losing my shit. I vowed to protect her and I failed. I needed to redeem myself and get her back.

"Sorry. I'm working on getting her back. Trust me." Alex responded, trying not to hit another nerve. It was not his fault. The boss was on my back about getting her back and he was pissed. He had all his men in the area looking for her but they all came up empty. I was really hoping that once I got rid of John, there would be no more traitors, but it seems that was wishful thinking.

"You're not working hard enough!" I seethed. Alex took in a sharp breath to try to calm himself. He was about ready to snap at me from being yelled at for the past two days. I don't blame him, but he knew better than to test me in times like this. "Guys!" Nicole intervened. "Mike, come for a walk."

"No." I stubbornly shook my head. I was not going anywhere until I had information on where Vi was.

Just a heads up: Ebookex.com is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! "Michael Gregory Mizanin!" Nicole sternly said. Damn it. This was a battle I was not going to win. She was exactly like Vi and I knew when to push my boundaries with them. "Fine." I muttered and stood up.

"We'll be back. If you replace anything, call Mike's phone." Nicole said to Alex, giving him a quick kiss.

"I will." He nodded a bit more calmly.

"Lets go Mike." Nicole said as she headed for the door.

I followed behind her while she left the room. We went to the elevator, then down to the lobby and made our way to the cafe. We got a cup of coffee and hot chocolate before deciding to take a walk.

"Mike, you need to relax. I know it's hard, trust me. I'm as upset about this as you are, but lashing out at everyone that's trying to help is not going to get her back any quicker." Nicole honestly said. She was right. Getting angry and lashing out was not helping at all. I just couldn't deal with the fact that she was gone and there was nothing I could do to help her. I felt so helpless.

"You're right and I'm sorry. It's just been so hard having him back and her not here. I love her so much, I can't stand the fact that I'm not there to protect her from everything that is happening right now. It's killing me inside." I said, tears brimming my eyes. What the fuck? I never cry. That is how much I love Vi. I'd do anything for her.

"Mike..." Nicole stopped walking. "...orge here." She pulled me into a hug. "Alex is back in that room doing everything he can to replace my phone so we can get an idea of where she is. You just need to give him time. It's not that easy." She said, trying to put me at ease. Again, she was right. Alex was the best at hacking and I knew he would replace something. I'm sure that bastard put something on Nicole's phone to throw us off as well.

"I can try, but every second that goes by that she's not with me makes it harder. You don't know how much I wish it was me and not her."

"If it were you, she would be the same way and we would still be doing what we're doing. Lets focus on getting her back and keeping her with us. Next time, he won't be able to get to her. We'll make sure of it." She said strongly.

I nodded just as my phone went off. Taking it out of my pocket, I saw that it was Alex and that he had found something. Sending him a reply, we rushed back to the hotel and up to the room to learn that Alex had found where Vi was. I took out my phone as well as Alex and we contacted all our men in the area. We all then quickly packed up and headed out to get Vi back once and for all. Once I got my hand on him, he was going to wish he had never laid eyes on her. Violet

"We need to hurry up and get out of here." I heard Ted say in a rush through the bathroom door. The hot water felt so good on my muscles that I took longer than I was allowed. Did I care? Nope. The longer we spent here, the more time it gave Mike to replace us.

"What the hell is taking so long!" Cody yelled as he banged on the bathroom door. Knowing I was pissing them off made me laugh, but I knew it was only going to make this worse for me in the end. I finished up what I was doing, then opened the door as Cody was about to bang on it again.

"Relax. I still have two minutes left." I casually said as I walked over to my bag, putting my old clothes back inside.

""Yeah, yeah." Cody rolled his eyes. "We have to go." He said in a rush.

"What's the hurry?" I asked, trying to buy as much time as I could. I knew somethi8ng must have happened and I needed to stall for as long as I could.

"Need to know." Ted simply said.

"Well then." I sarcastically muttered.

"Watch it.." Cody warned through gritted teeth. Ted and Cody were already packed and ready to go, they were just waiting for me since I was taking my time. I was going so slow that I heard Cody huff in frustration.

"That's it!" Cody stormed over to where I was, taking all my stuff and throwing it in the bag.

"Hey!" I hollered, pulling my bag toward me.

"Now you're ready." Cody grabbed my arm, making me wince.

He tossed my bag to Ted, then started to drag me out of the room. We got in the elevators and they both kept a close eye on me in case I tried anything. Not that I would in the elevator, but hey...a girl can try. Finally, we reached the lobby and started making our way to the parking lot. We were almost to the car when we heard voices, ones that I recognized. Cody started pulling me more forcefully while Ted was trying to hold me. I tried to scream, but Cody covered my mouth. Just as we were at the car, I heard tires screeching and doors slamming shut. I could hear shouting and what sounded like gunshots going off. I felt myself being pushed forward, my head hitting the back of the car. All the sounds started to get more distant, everything becoming blurry. Next thing I remember, I saw someone coming towards me and picking me up. I was laid down in the back of a car, my head in someone's lap while they ran their hand through my hair. All I could see were blue eyes looking down at me as my eyes became too heavy to make out any other features on their face.
