Silence. She bit her nails, ignoring everything in the room. Phone calls. Lots of phone calls were being made, all of them ending with, 'Have you seen Seth?'Tears brimmed her eyes and some of them fell on her already puffy cheeks. It was her fault. No, the more she thought about it, it was no one's faults but his! He was supposed to pick him up and instead? Their son had been kidnapped waiting for Roman to show up. He was all alone watching the other kids go home!Mrs Cervantes! I-It all happened so fast! Seth's teacher had called her from work.What happened? Is there something wrong with Seth?Mikaella panicked.I was walking to my car when I saw your son. He said no one picked him up. T-that you must have been busy so I offered to take him home. My car... We were walking to my car, when they showed up and then. I-I can't remember. They knocked me out. I-i'm sorry ma'amW-what? Who knocked you out?! Where's my so

I simply fell in love with Marcus Pierce's POV so...with that said here's a chapter for the villainy deputy.****Marcus Pierce****She had called him first thing her son went missing and for the past hours watching Mikaella break down at his place of work broke his heart piece by piece.And when she hugged him. Hugged him as if she was dying and only he would save her, damn his heart beat. His heart beat so loudly that he was afraid everyone including his juniors would hear him. Had he kidnapped her son then, would she have broken into despair like she did now? I mean the kid was in his plans and was bound to get hurt by him soon enough.But had he stood too low? Too low to make the woman he had feelings for suffer? Would Ruby have wanted this? The life he was living. A life full of emptiness, full of rage, driven by vengeance? Regardless of whatever his heart wanted he could never have her. Mikaella was not Ruby. Mikaella was taken, that too by his wi

RomanThe feeling of failure overwhelmed him. Failure to have been there for his son. Failure to have been there for his wife. Mikaella didn't want him to be there and quite frankly he didn't want to be there too. But his son was there and that gave him the strength to stay.He was a hundred percent sure that Marcus was involved with his son's kidnapping now seeing Phil Radoll get arrested for kidnapping his son surprised him alot."Are you okay, man?" Kevin approached him from behind."No. I'm not. We need to talk""Okay? About what?"Roman simply stared and emphasized on the words... privately.Luckily as soon as Phil got apprehended, Seth was taken to the nearest hospital, St Monica, to cool down his fever and any wounds that the lunatic had inflicted on him. Mikaella didn't want to leave his son's side as for the rest of the family members stayed at the hospital to act as moral support.Roman pulled his brother t

MikaellaPhil Radoll was never in her radar when she thought about the people who kidnapped her son. In her mind, she imagined that her son's captors were one of those men who had messed up lives and wanted money to start their life afresh.Beep. Beep. Beep. The machines around Seth's room sounded in rhythm reminding her that her son escaped death that too from a person she thought was family. Her brother Gustavo offered to come and stay with Seth while she got coffee.She really needed it. She hadn't slept a wink afraid that any time she closed her eyes her son would disappear. Getting to the coffee machine, she halted just before the little room with the word 'Chapel' inscribed on the board above it.The least she could do was thank God for her son being alive and well."I'm saying I'm tired. Tired of trying to act like a hero and ending up being hurt. I acted like a hero when you were in a mess look where's it gotten me. I'm losing my

Chloe Grayson's POVThe D-Day, what every woman would live to remember as long as she lived, that is their wedding, no matter the number of divorces she had gone through.The thought of the church bells, a whole congregation of people watching her take the vows, the one time everyone would like her just because she had some shiny glossy lipstick and a nice gown white as snow seemed too overwhelming. And the whole- bride walking in slow motion thing to the aisle-terrified the shit out of her which was ironic because being on the spotlight was her thing both literally and metaphorically.But the best of all this, was that at the end of the day, she was going to get married to her Tequila. The funny, goofy, spoilt, honest and the most caring guy she had met. She imagined walking down the aisle her bouquet of flowers clutched in her hands, her hand held high, her favorite song This Town by Niall Horan being sung in tune and all while she stared through her veil at

****Marcus Pierce****They sure knew how to throw a wedding. The church decor looked splendid even the flowers themselves looked imported. Everyone around looked posh one would think that the Queen of England was going to attend the wedding itself.Best of all, it excited him that every penny they had spent on this had gone to waste. He sat at the furthest end of the church easily blending in with the whole crowd. Marcus had sat there for hours not really doing anything but stare at the two brothers.Kevin looked like he would collapse right there right then everytime the priest asked him if the bride was coming anytime soon. Funny thing was he knew what would happen. He had planned and played this whole scenario in his head over and over again. Knowing his sister in law, she would either not show up but run to the police with the sufficient evidence he had provided her with or she'd show up at the wedding completely heart broken and humiliate her husband to be

RomanTorture. That's one word he would call what Kevin was going through. It was like thinking that things were perfect one moment and the next they were not. Not only was Roman worried by the fact that the bride hadn't showed up but also by the fact that Mikaella hadn't answered his calls.So to be clear, he was as nervous as his brother was. "Was the wedding too soon? Did I make her feel uncomfortable by rushing things?"Kevin had asked and Roman to be frank didn't know what to say. I mean in his mind, the wedding was a bit rushed, sure Chloe and Kevin were so in love but taking it from his marriage, marriage was not a bed of roses. Did Kevin need to hear all that? Of course not, that would tear him apart and he would somehow start blaming himself for Chloe not showing up.The thing about weddings was that, no matter how good they were planned, how good the food was, how spectacular the designers did their job or how lavishly dressed

I promise I don't bite *covers my eyes shyly**********Her eyes fluttered open, the unfamiliar scent of medicines and ammonia hitting her nostrils. She tried moving opening her mouth but the thing plunged in her mouth like a snorkel prevented her from doing so."Doctor! Doctor! She's awake,"ran the little nurse outside her room.Her eyes tried rolling around, her head hurting like tiny pieces of glass pierced in her brain. She breathed in feeling as if she was like a new born baby breathing for the first time. As if it was her first time getting air into her lungs and letting it go afterwards.The doctor came rushing in and without moving her head, she stared. The doctor toget

RomanHe stood by the window in his study. He had locked himself in there since Mikaella's death was announced. Hearing the sound of a car's wheels crushing the little pebbles on his driveway, he glared outside watching his mother slowly open the door for Seth.They were all dressed in black. Their cheeks clearly visible of dry tears. His son hung his head low, refusing to listen to what his grandfather was saying to him. Roman's heart lunged lower to his feet, like gravity was somehow pulling him down and he, without resistance allowed himself to be pulled. To feel the pain burn his body until he felt nothing.It didn't matter how many DNA tests they ran on her, the charred body in the morgue he saw that day was Mikaella and God damn it, he blamed himself for it. One week past and he still locked himself. As punishment for Mikaella dying. She wasn't suppose to die. Mikaella-Mikaella was a good woman with a good soul who didn't deserve what happened to her.Needless to say, he blamed

**Eight years later***"Dad! You came!" Kylie squealed jumping into Marcus' arms."I wouldn't miss it for the world princess",he spoke, parting from the embrace and giving her the purple wrapped gift."What about Pop-pop and Meemaw?" She asked looking behind him to see whether they were behind him."Unfortunately your grandfather had to bail at the last minute, something came up. Meemaw was right behind me, she's probably taking something from the car. Anyway, happy sweet sixteen, princess. Or should I say hashtag sixteen, hashtag sweet sixteen? Hashtag adobs""Eew, stop! Just stop! Happy birthday will do",Kylie chuckled.Mikaella and Roman were by the chocolate brunch flirting as always and at the same time wondering when Seth would get to the party. Kylie and Seth were bonded so much that they had an insane love for chocolate and so much that when Seth went to college, Kylie wanted to go to college with him too. The people murmured against themselves asking when the cake would be cu

Mikaella"You don't have to do this",another voice soared in the room and a pissed James turned to stare at the man standing by the door.Marcus stood cautiously by the door and Mikaella felt relieved that he was there."Daddy!" Kylie screamed wriggling in James' arms."One more step and the kid gets it. Don't tempt me!"James shouted placing the nozzle of the gun on top of Kylie's head."Look, man. She's just a kid. Leave her and her mother and take me instead. I can get you cash, ten million, twenty-any amount you want",Marcus reasoned taking another step into the house."Not another step!"James shouted pressing the gun on Kylie's head harder and Mikaella cried praying that her kid wouldn't get hurt."Money? You think I want money from you? You should have let her die maybe then my family wouldn't be dragged into this mess. You are so clueless, aren't you? I'm not here for money and I don't want to do this but Leonardo has my family! It's a good thing you came, you are supposed to di

MikaellaHer week had taken quite the somersault, she couldn't imagine that just a while ago she was in New Zealand worrying about what to cook for supper and the foundation's well being. Now she was worried about more trivial things, if Marcus had gotten released today as Roman had promised, if it was right to even go back to Roman and how Kylie would take the whole situation.She had been cooped in the condo for hours now, the logical thing at the moment was to start packing. To start preparing for a new life as Mikaella Sandoval Cervantes.Kylie was in her bedroom sleeping after an exhausting morning of playing horsie as she called it with Knuckles. Pouring the last of the coffee in her mug, she grabbed the mug heading to her bedroom to occupy herself with packing clothes she didn't really like into suitcases she hadn't even bought."I don't even like yellow",she sighed looking at the bright yellow dress on her bed.The other dresses next to her bed were even brighter than that on

MikaellaᕙShe had worn Elizabeth's clothes inorder to fool the guards standing outside her door. The plan worked and right now she was on her way to Men's Central Jail.Within no time, she was standing outside the place where Marcus was being kept wondering if it was a good idea to even step foot in there. Was she even ready to face him? It was too late now, to back down."Name?"The sheriff asked and she answered Marcus Pierce. I'm here to see Marcus Pierce.It was a good thing he didn't ask who she was because she had no clue how to answer the question. She was his wife or atleast she thought she was his wife.The sheriff got out a bunch of keys opening the metallic door for her. The door creaked open and there was a certain silence that creeped her out. She followed the Sheriff walking behind him meekly. There were all kinds of people in there, one of the guys in there had a tooth, another was missing an eye, another had a scar on his face that looked like either he was burnt by h

RomanHe must have been way in his head if he thought that just because he found her, they would be one happy family.'Give her time' Most people told him that, but how much time had he lost not being with her?They couldn't understand him, understand how he was feeling after seeing her after so long. He was driving to Lisa's house, she atleast needed to hear everything from him than from another person. He knew he was going to hurt her but the truth had always hurt and at the same time let people free. His wife was back and like a love struck teenager his feelings for her were stronger. Maybe stronger than even before now that he knew he had a daughter and Lisa needed to know that. That he cared for her but he still loved his wife.At first he doubted Kylie was his daughter, which is why hours later after Marcus was brought back from New Zealand with the help of the police, Roman had been the first to visit him in prison. It pissed him off, how Marcus asked about Mikaella and Kylie

MikaellaShe sipped the wine that came with the condominium. Sitting on a warm fuzzy couch, her eyes raked the world outside the huge glass window. All her life was a lie. All those eight years with Marcus were nothing but a made up fairytale.She couldn't help thinking about what her son said. Seth wanted a mother so bad, he needed a mother by his side but she on the other hand had shut him out of her mind, had shut everyone out of her mind. What had she done to deserve such punishment, such torture?"Don't cry mom",Kylie came to her clutching Mr Knuckles in her hands.Atleast she had Knuckles with her, after everything that happened, Mikaella was sure that the new environment would torment Kylie as much as it tormented her. Which is why, she asked everyone to give her space so that she could process everything.Roman was quick to reject the decision she made but at the end of the day, her brother Gustavo thought it best. So hours later, she and her daughter were in a luxurious condo

MikaellaIn every action movie, there was always this guy who would say something dumb like 'expect the unexpected '. The dumb thing about it was that once he bravely let those three words out his mouth, there was no manual that came along with it. No list of instructions on how to confront the unexpected or how to react to the unexpected or what the unexpected really was to begin with.Kind of like how her life was at the moment. A whole bucket load of unexpected shit hit her whack in the face and there was no way to confront it, no way to tackle it because in the first place nothing made sense. It was like being hit in the head and waking up in a totally new world, where no one made sense, nothing made sense and the environment didn't make sense either.The more she stared at her shaky palms the more she felt like going crazy, her mind drowning in a whirlpool of questions. Who was she? It was like starting from square one again. Like the exact moment the doctor asked if she remember

Roman"You tell him to get a good place to hide because I'll sure as hell kill him once I get my hands on him",Roman threatened the woman standing in her living room scared."And where exactly are you taking her? Her husband deserves to know- I'll call the police if I have to,"she fired back and Roman didn't flinch.He had an unconscious Mikaella in his arms unwillingly to let her go. With an angry grunt, he tightened the grip on her waist leaving the house in a hurry and his men following close behind. As soon as she was secure in his car, the driver revved the engine and they were on their way to the airport.He was determined to get her home. He had promised Mick's parents that they would definitely see her. Getting the phone from his pants, he dialed Gustavo's number."I have her. It's her. It's really her but she can't remember. She can't remember anyone. Gather the best doctors from the world, we are going to bring our Mick back, Gus",he said smiling from sheer happiness."I-i'l

MikaellaSomething terribly fishy was going on, just the other night she had been knocking on Elizabeth's door and no one seemed home. Actually she hadn't seen her for a couple of days now since they had that talk."You are telling me they eloped to come here? What, maybe they eloped again? You know how young love is", Carmen suggested but Ruby couldn't shake off the queer feeling in her chest.If they eloped again Elizabeth would have told her, maybe thank her for everything before saying goodbye. Plus, a little prying about the Hendersons from Marcus and she found out Bill Henderson wasn't planning to move anytime soon. His wife had a great job here and so did he so why then would they sell their house?"Why don't we forget about it. So how was New York?" Ruby asked taking a sip of the coffee infront of her."Turns out I'm destined to never find love, be it in New York or here. I hooked up with this guy and after we had done it, he said he wasn't ready for something serious. He was
