Chapter Seventy-Three

Jasmine's POV

"What's in that file? You are always with it" I said.

"You are very dumb if you think I'll answer your question" he said.

"It's a harmless question and I was just curious."

"Well for your information, I have no idea what's in the file either cause it doesn't belong to me." He said.

"You stole it?"

"It's for the Prime Minister you fool, now shut your mouth or I'll shut it for you!" He yelled.

And then I remembered, the red file Emma was talking about then.

This is it.

If only I could escape from here with the file, I'll be able to save both Emma and Alex.

"I need to go to the bathroom." I said and he looked at me.

"Are you kidding me?"

"No I'm not, I really need to go to the bathroom." I repeated and he hesitated for a moment.

"Fine" he said as he stood up still holding the file.

"Aren't you going to drop the file?" I asked.

"Not even in your dreams." He said and I sighed.

"Fine, let's go" I said as I stood up too and he grabbed my arm and led me to the bathroom.

"If you aren't out in two minutes, I'm coming in." He said as he pushed me into the bathroom and closed the door.

I stood for a moment not knowing what to do.

I need to get that file.

But how?

I looked around and my eyes landed on my shoes.

It's a pointed heel.

I quickly removed both of them and held one in my hand hiding it behind my back.

I opened the door with the other hand and Ryan looked at me.

"You are done?" He asked and I nodded.

"What are you hiding at your back?" He asked when he noticed one of my hand was at my back.

He tried to move closer to me and I quickly hit him on the head with the shoe.

"Ouuchh!" he screamed and I hit him again and again and he fell on the floor bleeding on the forehead.

I quickly took the file from him and I ran for the door.

The door suddenly opened and two hefty men walked in grabbed me by the arm and the file fell from my hand and scattered on the floor.

Ryan managed to stand up and walked up to me.

Then he slapped me.

"Aahhh!" I yelped in pain.

"Do you really think I'll be foolish enough to leave the door unguarded?" He asked and I kept quiet.

"Tie her up" he said to the men and they took me to the chair and tied me up.

"You can go" he said to the men and they left.

"You are lucky the Prime Minister wants you alive if not I'll have killed you myself for the wound you just inflicted on my forehead. But nevertheless, I'm going to make you suffer, the Prime Minister wanted me to keep you alive but he didn't say you must be unharmed." He said and bent down and began to pick up the scartered file on the floor.

"Should I just cut one of your fingers or toe? Or should I remove two of your teeth or should I...?" He suddenly stopped talking as he stared at a paper from the file he was holding.

"What's it?" I asked and he remained silent.

"What's wrong Ryan? What's in the paper?" I asked.

"Shut up!" He yelled and I got scared.

He packed the remaining file and stormed out of the building angrily.

What's wrong with him???
