It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. Now look at me. If you'd told me five years ago that I'd be kidnapped and fall in love with my kidnapper, I would have laughed and said, "Don't be ridiculous."

I wrote this story back in 2004. It was meant to become a TV show, but the rights expired in 2009 without being produced, so I decided to take it back. I have never published it as a book as it has a special meaning to me, and I did not want to edit it or change anything. But it is now time to share it. The story shows very poor grammar and typos everywhere. However, there is a reason, and you will understand it by reading it. This story, written in a Blog format, is for a mature audience, and its topics could hurt someone's sensitivity. I hope you will enjoy it.
