1. Against Time

Juliet's Point of view"You are like a father to me; I can't marry you. Please just help us, sir," I said and pleaded with my boss, who sat comfortably on his black leather chair, with the expectation that I would jump on his lap like his bitch does every time he needs them."Oh! Really, if you can't sign the contract marriage, then I guess you prefer to be an orphan if your mother dies." He said with his voice laced with seriousness.I know he meant everything he said, as he stood up and slowly approached me; he began to speak in a low and odd tone, and I quickly remembered how he used to calm his prey before he would start the main task."You see, Juliet, you and your mother need my help, and I'll gladly do anything to help you, but what will I gain in return if you don't sign the marriage contract?" He asked me in a low and deceptive tone.I gently removed his hand from my shoulder, like I always do, but I noticed he was becoming too intimate, so I hurriedly stormed out of his offic...

2. THE MEETING
Juliet's Point of view The cab driver drove off from my spot, and I kept on waving at other cars to stop, with the hope that I would get a cheaper one to take me to Monument Bank.After a few seconds, I saw a taxi cab reversing in my direction. As he got closer, the plate number became clearer to my eyes. I opened my eyes widely again, and it was the same taxi that had left a few seconds ago."Get in now, before I change my mind." He said, and I quickly entered without hesitation, before he changed his mind like he said."Thanks so much, sir." I appreciated him immediately as I sat comfortably at the back of the cab.Monument Bank is an hour's drive away from where we are, and as he drove faster towards the right direction to Monument Bank, I couldn't control the welling tears anymore."What's wrong with you, miss?" He asked in a low tone, but I remained speechless. I felt he's a stranger, so why would I tell him what I'm facing personally?"My name is Donald; what's yours?" He intro

3.NO WAY OUT
JULIET'S POINT OF VIEW I stood by the roadside like a mad lady trying to avoid the psychiatric hospital. I am not bothered about my scattered hair; even as I gaze at STAMP BEE saloon, I can see the magic they are performing on different ladies through the transparent glass at the entrance.But I'm at the end of the wall, and I don't care whether I look good or not; today isn't my wedding day. I just don't know where to turn to."You have only 12 hours, Juliet." I still reminisced on Doctor Frank's warning, If I don't get the money to the hospital before the due time, I don't want to think about what will happen to my mother.I'm left with only one way in and one way out, "Mr. George." I know he's always ready to have me do his biddings: "Once I sign the marriage contract, I'll remain his slave forever, but life is giving no choices here." My mind reeled in this for almost an hour, and my eyes began to get blurry.My stomach began to hurt frequently; I could hear the grumbling sound

4.THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT
Juliet's Point of viewOn my arrival at the London Dockland hospital, I walked in very fast through the big transparent door, and without wasting any time, I quickly approached one of the desks; she was in her normal top and blue jeans, but I'd seen her the first day I rushed my mom there; I guess she's off duty."Nurse, I'm Juliet Jones; my mother is here for a kidney surgery. We came here together the day before yesterday. Please, where is the cashier's office so that I can pay for it?" I questioned in a low tone; I was filled with excitement and so anxious on the spot."Wait, you are Miss Juliet Jones?" She asked in a low and suspicious tone,"Yes, why did you ask?" I questioned in a tense mood, and my eyes widened as I awaited her response. I don't want to think of bad turns."Doctor Frank has been trying to reach you, and I think..." I cut her words short, "You think what? Where is it?" I asked her immediately, in a haste to hear whatever she's about to convey."Take it easy; let

5. The Marriage Ceremony
Juliet's POV"How I wish you were still alive, Mom; at least I wouldn't be going through this humiliation in vain." I whispered to myself as I remained calm on the soft sofa, fully designed with lots of multicolored ribbons and balloons for the marriage contract ceremony of me and this so-called George Watson, a man I looked up to like a father, who in turn saw me as his wife."I felt like slicing his throat with a knife right now." I said, gritting my teeth, and clenched my fist in anger.As he sat comfortably at my right-hand side, he dressed in a black blazer suit, with a gold wristwatch attached to his wrist; his trousers were straightened downward to match with the black Seward shoes; he was all set up for this charade."It's crazy." I thought. Meanwhile, I wore my mother's old white wedding gown, hoping it would be my leverage to stop the marriage ceremony from happening today.I stood upright in my small room, gazing directly at my reflection in the tiny, shaped mirror attached

6.The shocker
Mark's POV"I must be dreaming." I muttered to myself, rubbing my face to ensure I wasn't seeing things. Was Juliet really the bride standing before me, or was I being overshadowed by the thoughts that had haunted me since we met at the bank?"Why are you here, Mark?" She asked in a hushed tone, "You told me yesterday you'd be taking the first flight back to California today," she added, her voice yet tiny and soft."This is unbelievable." I thought, remaining speechless; responding to Juliet's numerous questions became a daunting task. My stepfather, George Watson, fixed his intense gaze at me. He took a step forward, eager to approach us and uncover the tension between us, but was detained by his friends and colleagues, who continue to engage him in conversations. His best friend, Mr. Harrison Ford, held him in a firm, lingering handshake, preventing him from moving forward.A wave of emotions washes over me—shock, anger burning through my soul, sadness, and betrayal from the one I

7.Where is Juliet?
MARK'S POVI ignored the beautiful morning light streaming in through the half-open wooden window at exactly 7:00 AM. The light shone brightly, like a diamond. My ears picked up every melody of the birds singing on top of the palm tree adjacent to the window. The crickets added their 'chirp-chirp" to the chorus, blending with the bird song to create a soothing melody. Normally, the sounds would be disturbing, but I hadn't slept all night, so they didn't bother me."Hmm...hmm!" I muttered to myself in a low tone. Lying flat on the giant bed, I stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling like a dead man awaiting judgment. My mind was a jumble of emotional thoughts, but most of them centered around Juliet, replaying what she'd said during the wedding party."That's a murder case," I whispered to myself, yawning every second and rubbing my exhausted eyes; sleep had been elusive in this room. Although the dimly lit space was rustic, it was well-appointed with beautiful flowers—vases filled with

8.The Secret Room
Juliet's POV "In the darkest day and darkest night, no evil shall take over my soul; I will overcome them all with the power bestowed upon me by God." I whispered our family's morning prayer, repeating it like a mantra as I sat alone on a plush sofa in a small, unfamiliar room. Since the day I married the cruelest man on earth, I'd lost sight of the light at the end of the tunnel.The room was sparse, with only a small bed and a sofa to sit on. The emptiness was palpable, and the silence was so profound that even a sneeze would echo off the four walls, reverberating back to me.Mia had been the only person I'd seen from Mr. George's burly, red-eyed men, who had dragged me to his room at their boss's command.The only thing visible was a sliver of light that streamed down through the window above my head, casting a faint glow that starkly illuminated my isolation."I'd rather die in this isolation than surrender to that hypocritical monster," I whispered to myself, my mind seething wi

9. Who lurks in the shadow
MARK'S POV"I've been keeping the truth from you, Mom," I said, my voice tinged with uncertainty, as I sat down beside her on the plush bed. We faced the massive 95-inch TV; its sleek screen was perched atop a glass table that reflected the dim light of the room.I couldn't ignore the CNN morning breaking news flashing on the screen: "Two girls kidnapped from separate locations in California." As I read the scrolling ticker below, it sent a chill down my spine—the words seemed to mirror my own desperate situation.I knew Mom had been closely observing my behavior lately, but she seemed to be deliberately overlooking the changes in me, perhaps to avoid jumping to conclusions or maybe she just didn't want to confront the reality."What's wrong, son? Something is bothering you, isn't it?" She asked softly, her voice laced with concern. I hesitated, taking a few moments to muster my courage. I locked eyes with her, my gaze searching and intense, as I struggled to articulate the thoughts s

10.Mrs Claire
MIA'S POVThe sudden "clatter-clatter" sound startled me, and I realized too late that I had dropped the silver tray, sending the delicate plates crashing onto the marbled tiled floor of Mrs. Claire's room. The sound of shattering porcelain filled the air, and I stood frozen. "Jesus." I breathed, my eyes wide with shock as I took in the chaotic scene before me. The shattered plates, the scattered silverware, and the trail of porcelain shards across the marbled floor all seemed to blend together in a dizzying blur of destination.Mrs. Claire lay before me, her body soaked in a pool of her own blood, her chest heaving with labored breaths. "Mrs. Claire." I screamed, my voice shrill with panic. "What happened to you?" I whispered, my words trembling with fear as I dropped to my knees beside her, my hands hovering over her wounds in a helpless gesture."Somebody help me." I screamed, at the top of my lungs, my voice trembling with panic. I hoped against hope that Anderson or Gerald would
