Held Captive

Chapter 14

Shena's POV

Noah confronted me as Jona and Caleb talked to some influential people in the crowd.

"What's wrong, Shen?" he asked

"N-nothing... I'm fine" I replied yet still whimpering.

"Did you see... him?" Noah said looking seriously to my face.

They didn't know who this "him" was til now because I came home with a black armed woman who escorted me to the airport.

After that she just left and I came out the exit seeing the worried faces of them...

I was anxious. Is the day we will see each other again...

Now?

Or later?

Or maybe soon...

"Shena. Answer me." Noah said snapping me back from reality again.

"N-no... I just remembered something." I said faking a smile while wiping away these forbidden tears that I have kept to myself since I left.

"If you say so..."

"I'll just take a short trip to the restroom!" I said rushing my way down the hall to wander around.

I didn't know where this restroom was.

I just needed some time to... Be alone

I pondered to myself about every single thing I wanted out of my mind.

I looked ahead me as I see... someone familiar.

At this point, it must be him.

I rushed forward and turned the man to face me.

But it was not him...

I said my sorry and dashed away out of embarrasement.

I stumbled upon a food aisle and stayed there for a while.

I was too focused on the food as the event started. The host greeted each on of the influential families in  the crowd as he announced:

Familia de Mayor-spanish word of Mayers-.. Familia de santiago...

...

...

Familia de martinez...

Thats when I suddenly froze.

The Martinez is here...

I sighed as I reassured myself that it was a different clan of Martinez.

That's when my brother Jona called my name.

I came forward and he introduced me to some of the people they met.

As time went by, everything was normal.

And by the time the auction has started I was already in a relief that he didn't come.

But that's when I jinxed my as$

Auction starts and bid starts with 250k us dollars.

Jona and Caleb started throwing as the bid went up to 700k.

nobody threw as it went to almost 2.1 million. Jona and Caleb was confident as it was almost ending someone threw

1 billion.

As we looked to who bidded, shock swallowed me as we met our eyes.

This was... impossible.

I looked away as I have noticed that I have glanced too long at him.

As auction ends, Ivan won.

We hurried to the exit stumbling upon his presence.

I was anxious yet although my anxiousness was getting much more awful...

I was glad he wasn't injured more...

I'm glad nothing was wrong with him.

And I'm happy he was all great and beyond my reach.

That just means that I can never hold him unlike 7 years ago.

That month where I felt comfortable with his presence.

I'm not gonna lie, I still miss him till now
