CHAPTER 69H U G OAll of a sudden, I felt nervous for no reason when Rose left the car. I know she wanted to tell me something but she just stopped herself because of Dominique. But what could it be? What have she seen?"You okay Hugo?" Dominique glances at me while she sways Bethany."I'm fine. I'm just..." I trailed off.I glance at Bethany and noticed that she has been crying since Rose left. "What do I do Hugo?" She asks me.I stepped on the brake, "Take the wheel and hand me Beth.""I can tame her down, trust me on this." Dominique insists."Bethany's face is already turning red and she's already crying too hard. Let me carry her." I stepped out of the car and walked to Dominique's door.I opened it for her and gently grabbed Bethany. Dominique stares at me before she walks to the driver's seat. I carefully climbed inside and watch Dominique getting pissed. She slams the door and starts the engine of my car as I stare at her and she's just absentmindedly looking straight ahead.
CHAPTER 70H U G O1:31 AMI feel uneasy.It's already getting late and I have to wake up early for work later but here I am sitting on the couch with so many thoughts in my head.I feel sleepy but I just can't sleep for no reason and it's really weird because my gut feeling makes me anxious. I'm fucking tired but I can't sleep and this is new to me. I don't know what's wrong with me but I can't stop thinking about Rose.She fills my mind and all of a sudden I feel nervous after our phone call.Was it because I was frightened that Landon might have had heard the conversation I had with her earlier?I've been watching TV but the shows don't seem to satisfy me and my mind was completely bothered and elsewhere. I carefully turned off the TV and carried Bethany the second I found her asleep on my arm. While I was carrying her and staring at her, she clearly reminds me of Rose and it makes my heart hurt.Even when she's asleep, she reminds me of her mother. She's the spitting image of Rose
CHAPTER 71H U G O"Hello?!"I groan."Rose! Hello!!"I pulled my phone away from my ear and noticed that I'm still connected with her phone. I feel getting more troubled because she's no longer answering me and I can no longer hear her.I put my phone back to my ear as I feel myself beginning to get more nervous of what's happening. "Rose?"She's not answering me but all I hear from the other line is her voice, screaming for help and it crushes my heart for being here but being useless. Every time she screams for help, my heart aches. Every time she screams for help, I don't feel good. Every time she screams for help, I feel bad for not being there.I want to go but I cannot leave Bethany here.I hear Rose trying to shout and she's telling someone to let her go while my heart aches so much and my heart longs for her. I know she's talking to someone but I just don't want to know if they were alone or not. I just wish she won't get caught or her phone won't get noticed. I wish she will
CHAPTER 72H U G OFrom: @HugoedwardSaintclare94Detective Johnston, please send two of your men to my penthouse right now. I need someone to guard over my child sleeping here. I need them as soon as possible. Thank you.I grabbed the hotel phone and called in for two hotel maids to guard Bethany while I look for Rose. As soon as they arrived, I instructed them well about babysitting my child and that there will be men guarding the room the entire night who are policemen. Detective Johnston quickly sent me Rose’s tracked location and warned me that I needed to be careful because they are trying to use Rose as a bait.I can't wait until tomorrow to save Rose. We need to go right now. We need to move fast just to save her or else she'll be more in danger. "Hugo..." Landon speaks from the other line. "Where's Miranda?" His voice sounds so sad and lost.I groan."Hugo tell me where she is?" He asks."You've done so much. You've still forgiven me a lot of times even after hurting you more
CHAPTER 73M I R A N D AI was all alone and I think it's already two in the morning more or else. I have not slept a single wink of sleep and I don't want to sleep either because I don't want them to do something to me while I'm sleeping.I don't trust these men that are around here. Even though they were all busy playing cards, I'm sure they already planned something. I was just hanging here as I began to feel the head of my femur aching like my joints were beginning to feel being ripped from my body.I glance at Dominique, her blood has dried and she is still bleeding but she looks pales. She's being surrounded by men that were obviously disrespecting her and touching her. She can't do anything about it because she's tied so she let them touch her body disrespectfully since she obviously looked weak from her gunshot wound.Worst scenario is, I can't believe Ridge is letting them touch his own sister.From the corner of my eyes, I see Audrey walking up to me with a tray of foods and
CHAPTER 74M I R A N D AI don't know how to explain what I feel anymore because the only thing that I feel right now is fear and everything else is unexplained. I've never been this scared in my entire life and seeing Ridge pointing a gun at Hugo's forehead, like he has the power to do so, is the most frightening thing that I have ever witnessed in my entire life.Ever."It'll be the biggest headlines that will surface tomorrow." Ridge spits.Hugo stares at Ridge angrily. "Then do it. Fucking. Do. It." He challenges."Hugo!!" I cried.He stares at me."No... Please no.." I begged softly.That was all I've been saying repetitively when I saw that gun on his head."Shoot me." Hugo challenges him."No!!" I screamed, I couldn't help it."Ridge please that's enough!" Audrey tried to pull him away from Hugo. "Please Ridge." She pleads, almost sounding like a cry.He stares at her aggravatingly and I'm sure he's beginning to get annoyed of her too. "You shut the fuck up!" He beams.Ridge st
CHAPTER 75M I R A N D AI slowly open my eyes and saw a white light above me. It was too bright that I had to squint because it was blinding. My brows creasing as I begin to realize a question that popped inside my head.Where am I? I thought to myself.Damn that light is still blinding me and it somewhat hurts. I tilt my head to my side and tried to figure out where I was because I cannot seem to remember where I am and how I got here.The light above me was still blinding me even though I don't look straight at it so I try to blink a few times more to adjust my sight. My head hurts a little bit, my entire body feels deadly tired like life force has been sucked out of me and a part of my abdomen kind of hurts.Where am I?I ask that same question again as I try to recall what happened before I got here.When I widened my eyes a bit more to take a clearer view, I just realized that I was already lying down on top of a hospital bed. My brows furrowing at the thought of it as I notice
CHAPTER 76M I R A N D A Suddenly we heard a door opening from across the hallway and saw a female doctor with two nurses walking inside the room. They walked closer to us and the doctor was smiling ruefully at me. Landon and I sat down straight right away on top of the bed."Hi, Mrs. Thompson." She greets.I smile. "Hi.""How do you feel now?" She questions.I lick my dry lips, "I'm... I'm feeling kind of good. I think?"She nods as she continues to examine me. "Your results are okay, thank goodness. It's just that we... Are terribly sorry for your loss."I gasped inwardly as my eyes dilated when I just realized it again.I lost the baby.I really had a miscarriage.Oh my god.I've been so careless.I feel Landon looking right into my face and I guess he still didn't know that I had a miscarriage nor that I was carrying a baby. "What's she talking about love?" He asks me.I bite my lower lip and felt my tears creeping out from the corners of my eyes again. I shake my head sideways b
