98 Troy’s past 1

The plane was now in the air. The whole time when the plane took off, Troy never let go of my hand.

"Are you okay now?" Troy asked.

"Hmm. Yes thank you." I nodded. "Where are we going?" I asked.

Troy just smiled.

"You're not gonna tell me, are you?" I looked at him suspiciously.

"It's a surprise." Troy said with a smile.

I sighed. "Okay. Then let me ask you something else. What's your relationship with Angeline."

Troy's smile faded instantly and then sighed.

"It's an old story." Troy said. I leaned near him letting him know that I am interested to know.

"Angeline and I were childhood friends." Troy started. "I met her one day when I was 10 years old."

"That time I was playing in the park when I ran from my bodyguards that were watching me. Our family was a well known rich family and was always in the news and magazines. That time I was kidnapped."

I was shocked to hear this. Troy never told me something like this happened to him.

Troy looked at me as if knowing what I was thinking. "I didn't tell you because I never wanted to remember this memory. I'm sorry, I never intended to hide this from you."

I shook my head. "It's okay. It's your story to share if you want to or not."

Troy gave me a smile.

"I was with the kidnappers for about a week. They were asking for $10 million from my father in exchange for my freedom. It was like hell the whole time. The kidnappers were not kind to me. They took out their frustration on me because of impatience from waiting for the ransom. They beat me up everyday."

I shivered by just thinking about this. The young Troy, that little beautiful boy was tortured. I can't even imagined what will I do if something like that happens to my child.

"That time Angeline was about 14 years old. One day the kidnappers were out to get the money from what they have agreed with my father. They went to the meeting place and leaving me with just one kidnapper looking after me."

"By that time Angeline happened to be by the vicinity. I didn't really remember how she found me but she was the one to help me get away."

"Once we have escaped, I contacted my parents right away and the kidnappers were caught by the police."

"Angeline was my savior, she was my angel. Ever since that day I have always admired her. Because she saved me her family was given compensation. They were just a normal family and the money helped them have a better life."

"She started to become a teen model after that. With the help of my family she became famous. When I was in my teens my admiration for her deepened. I was in the impression that I was in love with her."

"We started dating in secret when I was 16 and she was 20 back then. Because we were both famous we didn't want our relationship to be tainted by the public. But it didn't stay secret for long."

"The paparazzi was able to take pictures of us and the news escalated. My father was against our relationship from the start. We tried to fight but unfortunately it didn't work out."

"Angeline wasn't able to cope up with the bashers and also my father's opposition. At last she left me. She just disappeared from my life and never appeared again."

Troy had a sad face when he was telling me all this. There was a pinch in my heart.

"That was the time I started to rebel against my father. I became a playboy and an alcoholic. My father wasn't able to contain me. And because of that he had a heart attack and died soon after."

"I saw myself as the reason why my father died. Because of that I vowed that I would work hard for the company he left to me and mom. But before that I needed to collect myself so I took a vacation here in N city."
