I couldn't tell you how long I was knocked out for, but it was the most comfortable sleep I had ever had. Maybe it's because I was asleep on Grayson's shoulder?

"Kinsley, sweetie we're here. Are you ready to go in?" Dian asked as we sat at the bottom of a gated resort. This place was absolutely gorgeous. It was way bigger than the house back home.

Home. Am I even aloud to say to anymore? I should tell someone i'm here. Someone that I can actually trust. I'll think more on that topic later.

"Oh. Of course." I told Dian as we walked up the stairs towards the front door. The scenery around here was absolutely gorgeous. It was green everywhere.

"Greyson. Would you be so kind and show our new guest around the house." Joy asked his son in which he received a complaint. But Joy only shooed off his son and Grayson told me to follow him.

"I guess we can start with where you will be staying." He said, walking a little further in front of me. I nodded and tried to keep up with him. This man was a giant. It was a little difficult to keep up with his long strides with a hurt leg. "Could you slow down a bit, i'm struggling." I laughed for a second.

"No." Was all he said as he took off down the hallway. "Bitch." I whispered and walked in the direction he went to. I turned the corner and he was literally no where in sight. I decided to take matters into my own hands and explore all by myself.

The first room I went into looked like a conference room. Now why the fuck do you need a whole ass conference room in your house? If there really that many people they meet with?

I walked out of the extremely large room and into the next. It was a bedroom. I would hate to sleep next to a conference room. Imagine you're trying to get your beauty sleep and then you hear screaming. Unbelievable.

The room was really well decorated though. The floors were made of what seemed like a black marble? The walls were white and there were huge floor to ceiling windows on one side of the room. There was a huge walk in closet that was way bigger than the ones back home, like triple the size. Who even has that many clothes?

The bathroom was just as big as the closet. It had literally two toilets and 4 sinks, a bathtub, and a walk in shower with two separate shower rooms. Kaitlyn wasn't lying when she said this place was a literal mansion.

I walked out of the room to examine the others. There were probably a good 10 bedrooms all lined down the hallway and they all looked similar. The only thing different about the rooms from what I could tell, was that they were different colors.

After exploring the whole second floor by myself, I decided to go up the steps leading to the third floor. Was I aloud up here? I don't have a clue. Would I be up here right now if Grayson would have not been a dick? Probably not.

I got to the last step and had to lean against the rail for a minute or two to catch my breath. This was hard work.

I finally got to the first door and opened it to reveal an office. It was built around the modern theme. The walls were a mix of browns and whites. The furniture was mostly black and brown. A sign on the wall read Tanjung in fancy bold letters.

I left the office area and went to the next door which was another office. It was basically the same as the other one except this one had more color that just brown, white, and black.

Behind the third door confused me the most. You could tell it was a huge room but it was covered well by a small closet. I looked around the closet for a second, moving around some of the clothes, to reveal a small lever.

What would you have done if you we're exploring a place by yourself with no instruction? You would have probably pulled the lever. So as one does, I pulled the lever.

The room had done a weird rearrange thing, a door opened on the right side and I took that aa an opportunity to walk through.

I stopped in my tracks as I walked through the door, seeing the walls lined with guns or all sorts, bows, and many sets of knives. I walked further through the door to examine each and every thing in this room.

"Don't touch that." A deep voice said behind me. I retracted my hand back to my side and turned around. Grayson stood with his arms crossed. "What the hell are you doing up here?" He shouted and pushed a button on the wall. The door closed behind him.

"You left me so I decided to look around by myself." I told him, common sense dude. "I was literally right down the hallway sitting on one of the couches!" He said, throwing his hands in the air. "Ok? And how was I supposed to know that? I've never been here before." "Yea whatever. Let's fucking go." He said, grabbing my arm. I felt shivers go down my spine from the touch. I saw the stupid fucking smirk he had on his face as he turned around. "But i'm not done loo-" "I don't care lets go." He interrupted me, dragging me behind him.

"Unbelievable."

Grayson was such a gentleman and showed me around the house that I had already seen. He also showed me where my room was which just so happened to be the room right next to the conference room! Lucky me. I can't complain though, I am extremely thankful for having a place to stay for now.

We were now sitting in the dining room, conversing over how our days had gone and how the meal was going. Even though I was in a completely different continent, they had foods that I would eat on the daily. Tonights meal consisted of rice, a soup, which I had never heard of but it was probably the BEST thing I had ever had, and several other dishes.

Since I had been kidnapped for months, I didn't get food on a daily basis so I was starting fresh again with the smallest portions. Grayson kept his eye on me the whole time I was talking to his parents and it made me feel awkward.

"So, Kinsley. Tell us a little bit about yourself." Joy said, pushing his plate away from him. I leaned back in the chair. "Well, what do you want to know?" I asked him. "Tell me everything."

I laughed for a second as did almost everyone else. "Well, you mentioned you knew my family already. The uhh 6 brothers and many uncles and cousins. Couldn't catch a break over there! I'm 16, turning 17 soon I think?" I questioned. "You think? What does that mean?" Grayson asked.

"Well, I guess i'll just tell you a shortened version of my life." I awkwardly giggled. "I was kidnapped at a young age by my mother. Something about she wanted me to have a better life? I don't know. And then she met this one really really bad guy. They uhh-" I paused, looking at Opal, "Didn't do very nice things to me," I paused, looking around the table.

"Like?" Joy asked. "Opal sweetie are you finished?" Dian asked her daughter who was playing with her food. "Yes mommy, may I leave?" She asked. Dian smiled at her little girl and nodded as Opal quickly got up and left without looking back.

"They abused me, you know the hitting, kicking all that fun stuff." I laughed to ease away the memories. Grayson avoided eye contact and Dian had a sorry look on her face. "Anywho, As I was in the care of my mother and step father, they told me I wasn't worthy enough of having a birthday and it happened at such a young age that I couldn't even tell you the day I celebrated when I was little." I paused, taking a sip of the water placed in front of me.

"When I was around the age of 10 I stopped counting the days and thought of it as another year of torture. So I don't really celebrate my birthday. That's why I said I thought I was turning 17 soon."

"You don't celebrate the most important day of your life?" Joy asked me. I shook my head no. "Kinsley I feel so bad for you having to go through that at such a young age." Dian said, wiping her eyes.

I waved it off, "Don't. I've gotten used to it." I laughed. Grayson pushed his chair back and left without saying a word to anyone. Teenage boys and there moods.

I cleared my throat and yawned. "Well I appreciate the meal and thank you, again for letting me stay here with you. It really does mean a lot. But uhh, do you mind if I head to my room?" I asked Joy.

"Oh no go right ahead! You must be exhausted." he said, standing from his spot. "Thank you. Goodnight to the both of you." I said, turning to walk out the door. "Goodnight!"

Once I reached my room I shut and locked the door and started to pace the room. This is not a good time for a panic attack Kins, calm down.

I walked over to the desk in the corner and opened the drawer, looking for a pen and paper. I found it instantly and I took a seat in the office chair.

I took the cap off the pen and began to write,

Matteo,

You are probably going batshit crazy looking for me right now. I wanted to apologize, not only for my behavior but for causing pain and for causing you and the rest of the family such a hard time.

I wanted to let you know that I am safe and have a good place to stay until I figure things out. I don't wish to tell you where i'm staying, just note that I am ok and I will be hopefully returning home soon.

I had to get away. I couldn't stay there for another second. I feel terrible for just fleeing without giving you any sort of information. But I could not just wait to see what was going to happen.

Tell Keaton that I love him and that I wish him a fast and pain free recovery.

I love you all with my whole heart,

Kins. <3

I folded the paper and placed it in a small envelope. I wrote the date and everything needed on the front. I needed to get this sent and in his hands by tomorrow or he would have the whole world flipped upside down trying to find me.

What the fuck have I gotten myself into.
