DECEIVING HIM" Derick stop this please," I said as I watched Derick happily move around the kitchen as he prepared dinner, he was acting insane, what was I saying, it was confirmed that he was already insane, how could he just kidnap me like that, how was it even possible that nobody noticed a thing?" Derick lemme ask you a question, how the hell did you get me out of there without anyone noticing a thing?" I asked. Has the world become filled with people who don't care about each other anymore?" It was simple," He said with a shrug. I watched him with confused eyes." What do you mean?" I asked." When I was carrying you someone asked where I was taking you to, I just told him you got drunk and you passed out because you don't have a strong head, we both laughed about it actually, then I took you to my car, you see even the universe supports me," He said." You've got to be kidding me," I said." No I'm not, everything I just said is true," He said as he continued stirring what he
BURSTED Fuck, what do I do now? The last time something like this happened, I was lucky to have escaped by running into his room and shutting the door, but here, how am I going to get away? I needed to think real fast.He knows why he didn't take me to his house because he knew very well they might look for me there.He kissed my neck as his hands slowly started to move down my body.Think fast Anna, think fast.“ Uhm, wait, wait, wait," I said as I quickly pulled from his hold.“ What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Yes, you did everything wrong. I thought to myself but not like I was going to say that out loud." No nothing, I just think we should have a few drinks and talk before any other thing, we haven't really talked as couples for a while and it isn't good for our relationship,” I said trying to make my face as innocent as possible.“ But we can have the drinks later, I want you now baby," He said and I felt my heart beat increase. His hand came to my neck rubbing sensual
RUNNING FOR DEAR LIFE I froze, unable to move my legs as the dogs watched me. It wasn't until they growled at me that I realized I was supposed to be running and without a second thought I broke into a run.I was screaming at the top of my lungs running without direction, I just wanted to be away from those dogs.They were after me like mad creatures and I couldn't help but scream as I saw one of them catching up to me real quick. Believe me I never knew I could run this fast. That's why they always say you never know what you can do until you're faced with a situation. I took another turn and when I turned I couldn't see the dogs. Did I lose them or were they playing a trick on me?I didn't slow down, I kept running when I suddenly heard the sound of paws following fast behind me.And here I was thinking I lost them.I had to hide, that was the only way right now.I quickly took a turn as I went to hide behind a tree and covered my mouth immediately.What the hell was Derick think
GETTING SICK Nathan and I started looking around if Anna was anywhere around but there wasn't any sign of her, my heart was beginning to hammer in my chest like it would fall off.“ Where the fuck could she be?" I asked as I ran my fingers through my hair. By now the rain had stopped falling but it was cold and I was worried she might be out there all cold and lost.I couldn't even hide the fact that there was something going on between Anna and me again.The worry on my face was enough proof.“ Calm down dude, we'll find her," Nathan said as he rested his hand on my shoulder.“ When? We've been searching this goddamn place and calling her name for how long but we haven't been able to find her. What am I going to do with myself if something were to happen to her?" I asked with a sigh." It going to be okay,” he said, " I think we should go back, I don't think she's here, maybe she was able to escape and she's somewhere safe," Nathan said. “ But what if she's not?"“ Can you stop t
SAFE AT LAST “ Son, I've been trying to call you, why won't you just pick my calls?" My Mom asked over the phone and I couldn't help but sigh." I'm sorry Mom but I'm not even in the right frame of mind to talk right now, I just had to pick your call because I didn't want you to worry,” I said." What's the problem? You left in such a hurry, your Dad was…” " Can we please not talk about him, Mom let's talk tomorrow, remember we agreed to meet, so let's just talk there, I'll explain everything to you,” I said. “ Fine, take care son," She said before the call ended. I felt so stressed and knowing that Anna hasn't woken up made everything ten times worse. “ Hey man, something came up. I'll have to go home, but I'll come check up on her tomorrow as soon as I can," Nathan said as he came to sit beside on the hospital couch." It's okay, thank you so much for your help tonight, I'm grateful, I don't know what I would have done without your help,” I said." It's nothing, you're my broth
IN TROUBLE “ What are you talking about? Haven't we talked about this?" I asked as I looked at her in confusion. I couldn't deny the fact that her saying ‘no’ hurt me. Was she still worried that her Mom would disapprove of me as her boyfriend or was she embarrassed? But she told me she wasn't embarrassed and I believed her. Did she suddenly change her mind? “ I'm saying we can't tell her yet," she said with a shake of her head. “ But we've talked about this, you even accepted that I should come over to your place for dinner then why the sudden change?" I asked her. Suddenly I hated that Derick guy even more. If we weren't here she wouldn't be saying this to me. I'm sure she's saying all this because of everything that happened. " I don't know, babe, I really don't know, I just feel…” " It's okay, I understand," I said as I sat on the bed and hugged her, I wanted to be her shoulder to lean on and not add more burden to her shoulders. As long as she was okay, that's all that m
A MOTHER'S THREAT “ Is there something you need ma?" I asked as I swallowed. I felt like a young boy who had been caught from jumping the fence when I didn't even know what my offense was.“ Cut that crab, you both think I'm stupid?” She asked as she turned to look at her daughter then turned to me. I swallowed again, God this woman suddenly looked scary. “ What are you talking about Mom? I already told you I'm sorry about hiding what has been happening, you don't need to…”" I'm forty eight and you both don't think I haven't lived enough to be able to add one or two together to figure out something?" She asked.“ I think I'll wait…" “ You're going nowhere, you all are in this together," she angrily turned to Bella who was about to wheel herself out of the room and she pouted, feeling like a deer caught in the headlights. “ Fine," Bella muttered." Now you both didn't think I'll never notice there was something going on between you?” She asked as she turned to me. I shouldn't be t
SHADOWS AND PAIN I stopped my car in front of the coffee shop as I took a deep breath, I knew my Mom was going to be asking me a lot of questions of which I knew I was going to tell her everything. I can never hide anything from her, I've tried but it never works.I stepped out of my car as I closed the car door then I walked into the coffee shop.Just as expected my Mom was already sitting at her favorite spot. It was like this place already knew that that was her favorite spot and specifically reserved it for her.“ Mom," I called as soon as I reached her as she stood up and hugged me, touching my face affectionately,“ I was so worried about you, the way you just disappeared in a hurry, please tell me what happened," she said as she sat down.I pulled a chair as I sat down taking her hands in mine." Did I tell you about Anna's psychopath of an ex?” I asked," I think you did, I can't remember,” she said,“ Last night he kidnapped her and we had to look everywhere for her it was a
JUSTICE “ Tag, you're it," Andrew or should I say Sammy hit his father as he ran away and Cole chased after him trying to tap him.I couldn't help but laugh at his little laugh, it was filled with so much joy. Cole ran to me and I dodged taking the route my son took and he laughed, turning back to see if his father was close.“ Got you,” Cole said as he caught Andrew." No, no,” Andrew laughed as he tried to get away from his father." Mummy to the rescue, tag, you're it,” I said as I touched Cole, making him our target as Andrew and I started running after him.“ I'll get you daddy, mummy go that way,” Andrew said as we both blocked Cole and tackled him and he fell to the ground laughing." Okay you both win,” he said as we both fell to the ground on each side of him laughing." Sam baby,” Cole suddenly called as Andrew turned him smiling." Yes Daddy,” he said," How would you feel about Anna being your mom?” he asked," Cole,” I warned, I don't know if this was the right time. I
REUNION “ I really don't know how to feel about this, should I say I'm jealous?" Liam said as he held my hand and I sighed." I'm sorry Liam, I'm…"“ Hey, there's nothing to be sorry about, you told me right from time, I was just hopeful. I can't stop you from being happy. It pains me that I'm not the one you chose but if you're happy, I'm happy, you finally get the family you've wanted. If I'm not happy for you, what type of a person would that make me? I wish that you never get to cry again, you now know your son, you're with the father of your child who you love. As much as I hate to say this, the guy is crazy about you and I'm sure he'll protect you," he said and I couldn't help but smile. “ You're the best person I've met Liam, you're so understanding and caring, I promise you that you'll find a woman who deserves your love, believe me," I said and he nodded as he took my hand and dropped a kiss on it." Thank you Anna, this means a lot,” he said and I smiled." I'll return to
CONFESSIONS AND FORGIVENESS As soon as I heard that she was awake I practically ran out of the house as I got into the car.I drove out of the house, heading straight to the hospital as I clenched my hands on the steering wheel, impatience filling me.I got to the hospital as I parked the car and ran into the building. I stopped at her room door trying to compose myself before I knocked.I quietly opened the door and walked in as everyone turned to me but the only eyes that caught my attention were her beautiful eyes.Those brown eyes that have haunted me for years.“ Hey," I greeted as the Liam guy bent to her and kissed her cheeks before walking out of the room, her assistant following.“ I'm glad you're awake," I said, not knowing what else to say. " Thank you for saving me,” she said. She didn't have to thank me for anything, I'd do anything for her." Why did you do it?" She suddenly asked and I looked at her in confusion.“ Anna, I'd do it all over again, I can't see you in tr
THE LIFEBLOOD OF SACRIFICE “ We had to flush her blood to take off the poison because it was just too much and taking off blood meant we had to give her more blood but the problem now is we're out of blood that matches hers,”“ You can take mine!" The three of us said at the same time.“ As long as it matches, it would be to her advantage if we can get a donation from all three of you," the doctor said. " What are we waiting for? Let's go,” her assistant said in impatience as she followed the doctor first while I just leaned on the wall waiting." You can't blame me for something I didn't know. You can't imagine how I feel right now knowing that my son is the son the woman I love has been looking for for over four years, you don't know what I've been through so you don't have the right to judge me. You don't know what I had to endure for the past four years. I'm not telling you this for you to like me, I'm letting you know that you have to know someone's story before you conclude wh
BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH I can't die, not when I have a chance of seeing my son. Not now.She stood up with the syringe in her hand as she flicked the tip and looked at me with a sinister smile.“ I've been waiting for this part, she's going to know how it feels like to have needles constantly being pierced into you," Derick said, looking at me with excitement.“ You see this little needle, I'm going to inject it into you nice and slow and you're going to die nice and slow, nobody will know it's me, and Cole will be mine and mine alone and as for your son, he's going to call me mom for the rest of his life," she said as she started walking towards me and I shook my head, struggling to be free.“ If I were you, I'd keep calm or this might cut a vein and you'll just bleed to death, either way it works for me,” she said as she bent to my neck and I tried to move back but I couldn't. “ Enjoy," she whispered before she stabbed the needle into my neck and I felt the substance swim inside my
SHADOWS OF THE PAST “ Sam! Sam!" I called as I ran into the house like a man whose house had been set on fire.“ Sam!” I called as I ran upstairs to his room but he wasn't inside." Martha! Martha! Where's Sam?” I asked his nanny and she looked at me in confusion." He's in the garden, his grandpa came to see him,” I didn't wait a second, I was already running towards the garden and I couldn't help but breathe in relief when I heard his laughter.He was alright. But anger immediately boiled in my body when I remembered the reason why all this happened in the first place was here in my house." Sam!” I called as I ran to my son and hugged him," You're okay, you're doing okay, let's go,” I said as I took his hand and he turned to look at his grandfather." Dad, I want to play with Grandpa a little," he said as I carried him.“ Maybe some other time," I said and without sparing my dad a glance I walked into the house." Take care of him, make sure nobody takes him, if anything happens
SECRETS UNCOVERED Although I couldn't see his face, I couldn't mistake the voice. How could he have a hand in this? I thought…I thought. I was just so fucking confused.“ I thought you told me you changed? Then why are you here?" I asked and he laughed, a crazed type of laughter, like someone who has lost it.“ You thought I changed, you're so funny Anna, after what you did to me?” he said as he moved closer to me and I caught a little glimpse of his face, despite the darkness.“ You ruined my life," he said, “ I did no such thing," I said as I struggled on the chair. " Really, you did nothing, are you fucking forgetting the fact that I was sent to a mental asylum because of you?” he asked in a dangerous voice that sent shivers down my spine." You brought it upon yourself, that was the right place for you because you were fucking crazy," I said and he laughed. " I'm going to show you crazy,” he said as he started walking towards me." Stay where you are Derick don't fucking come
THE TRUTH “ What did you just say?" I asked but he pointed at the file I was holding.“ Spent a lot of money to get that because she fucking paid a lot to have their mouth shut and have them do what she wants. I don't know why Anna would mix with people like this," I pretended not to hear those words as I slowly opened the file.My heart was pounding in my chest afraid of the truth I'd find in there.I brought out the medical report which has Mirabel's name and every single record about her as I started going through them.My breath caught in my throat when I reached where it said she couldn't have a child because of her damaged womb. Then how come Sammy?But she was pregnant, I saw her baby bump, she did all the things pregnant women did. Was that…was that all an act?No, no, it can't be, could it.I was fucking confused.And Anna.“ Now you know, right? So where's she?” he asked me and I came back to my senses.If he was looking for Anna and she wasn't with me with nor have he seen
FIST TALK “ I thought you were happily married, why do you look so scared?" I asked her as calmly as I could and she blinked before she sat down in front of me. That's so rude she didn't even ask for my permission.“ Listen up you bitch, Cole and I have been happily married for four years and we have a son, he loves me, do you hear that? He loves our son and not even a stupid slut like you can break our family." she said and I looked at her with a raised brow. “ If he's so in love with you you don't need to warn me, besides I'm not interested in your man, stop being dramatic and get out of my sight, I came here to eat not listen to your pathetic voice," I said and she scoffed as she folded her hands glaring at me. “ If you say so, if I see you anywhere near Cole or my child, you'll regret knowing me, I bet you," she said before she stood up and left.Once a bitch, always a bitch.“ I'm sorry ma'am, it took a little time to get ready," the waitress said as she dropped my food. It wa
