Autumn's standpointTears rolled down the side of my eyes to the bed as I held the wooden bar of the headboard. Montona pounded into me as he groaned and moaned. I had to do it, I had to let him touch me or he would suspect and force himself on me. He thought the tears were for pleasure, but it wasn't. I felt filthy as I let the fool break my marital vow. He would have done it anyway, I just made it easier for myself so my baby wouldn't get hurt. Protecting my baby was my utmost priority, it was the only thing that mattered.All I wanted was Mordecai to hold me, but no, he wasn't there. I swallowed the sob from leaving my mouth, my body shaking with pain but to him, it was pleasure."Scream my name, baby, scream it," he demanded."Oh, Montona, fuck me harder, babe, that's it… Right there, fuck me harder, Montona…""That's right, scream my name louder!" I continued screaming and crying with pain though he was thinking it was pleasure. At least, I convinced him to wear a condom. He ejac
Autumn's standpointCrap! Crap! Million more crap!This is bad!I couldn't do anything else than follow him or he would shoot me. He was the kind that would rather kill me than let someone else have me. And if he found out that I had been playing him, he would get really pissed. I walk-run behind him, glancing over my shoulders for any sign of Mordecai or even Eugene. My hope dwindled with every step I took, freedom was as good as gone.The black helicopter spun dangerously in the middle of the field, its blades pushing every light thing away. The dust flew here and there, causing us to shield our eyes from it."Sir, we have to hurry! Eugene has noticed the copter and is com…" The short redhead barely finished his statement before a bullet hit him right between the eyes. I screamed with horror at the disgusting sight. Montana quickly dragged me around to the other side of the copter."Why don't we get in?" I asked as if I wanted to."They could shoot it down, come on," he pulled me al
Two Weeks LaterThe heart monitor beeps continuously as I check Chelsea's pulse. I hummed so I wouldn't cry. Two whole weeks of hell. Brianna woke up—thank God—but the others hadn't. Chelsea was showing more signs of improvement since she kept drifting in and out of consciousness, but Meredith was unmoving which was a bad thing. I still had hope that she would be fine. Technically, she had been in a coma for a month while Chelsea had been in and out of a coma for three weeks. Brianna only lay in a coma for a week while I was unconscious for three days. My baby was still fine, thankfully.I dropped the notepad on the desk and went over to sit with her. I took her hand in mine and entwined our fingers together. A jolt of electricity charged through my body from our laced fingers. We were connected, Chelsea and I. Our bond was unbreakable and would remain that way."Chelsea, remember when we were ten?" I asked, smiling at the memory. "We went camping with Meredith's family. That was when
Mordecai's standpointWhat will it take to get a woman to dress up quickly? I mean come on! What's with women and their forever dress-up?! Just like Autumn almost gave me a heart attack by not showing up on time, Chelsea was doing the same thing to Anderson and his situation was worse. It had been four months and a few weeks since the woman woke up from a coma. Andy decided a month ago that he wanted to get married, so he proposed and the wedding saga followed.Autumn dragged me to different events for the so-called quiet wedding. Who needs a dinner rehearsal for a wedding when you can just get the hell married with no stress or even planning what you want to say? I still don't see the point in it, and being dragged to it wasn't appreciated. I couldn't complain or decline because one, he was my other best friend, and two, Autumn Naggison would talk me to death and cry and scream and mix it all up. Pregnancy doesn't suit her.So there I was, going to check on why the women were being h
Mordecai's standpointThe reception was going just fine with me ignoring Autumn as punishment for suffering me. There was an elevator the whole time and she made me carry her. Do you know how much she weighs? I was already planning on selling Kai if he should come out as a scrawny stick. The troubles he gave me were too much.I looked over at where she sat. She sat alone with hands between her legs as she stared at me intensely. And when I said intensely, I meant in a way her cuteness was troubling. It was difficult to remain mad with the way she was looking at me. She hadn't taken her eyes off me since I started ignoring her. Walking around with two intense eyes on me wasn't comfortable. It made me trip multiple times, satisfying whatever she thought she was doing.Anderson and Chelsea were receiving their wedding toast. I smiled as memories of us at our time replayed in my head. She was the most beautiful then, the most gorgeous woman, and even until now. I returned my glassy eyes t
EpilogueAutumn smiled as she stared at the picture of her little family of five. Her darling husband has loved her just the way he did from the very beginning. Even though it had been fourteen years and a few months since they said their vows. His love had never wavered, even when they fought and ignored each other for days. She knew he loved her more than she loved him. She couldn't ask for anything more.Next was her first child and son, her frenemy, Kai. They loved each other, but never admitted it out loud. All they did was argue, which was mostly them teasing each other at every chance they got. Kai loved his father and younger siblings a lot and would kill to keep them happy. He wouldn't kill for his mother but would do anything to annoy her. Though annoying was his natural talent, his heavenly gift. Anywhere he enters, trouble follows. Kai The Menace like his friends called him when he was younger. He found joy in causing confusion among people, deriving happiness from frustra
I staggered along the empty alleyway, coughing violently. My chest burned from too much coughing and I could barely see anything. I swayed side to side, using my hand to push myself off any part of the walls when I touched it. The honking of vehicles from the road and the busy chattering of people were drone to my ears, no one would notice if I died here for days. If only I wasn't a fool, if only I could be as smart as Landon. I lost everything to my stepbrother, my stepmother's older son who would stop at nothing until he claimed everything that was meant to be mine, that was the plan of himself and his mother. I should have known better when the devil he sent came, now I lost everything and wander the streets; homeless. I leaned on the wall and sank down, no more can I continue, I have no reason to live, absolutely no reason. I continued coughing as my vision slowly covered with spots and tears. The poison was working well to my expectations. "Who is there?" My ears twitched at the
Mordecai's standpoint I drummed my fingers on the large table, playing ignorant to the murderous glares Landon was shooting my way. I sat lazily on the chair, legs crossed with my suit jacket draping down the side of the black swivel chair. Chairman Shi Ye was smiling as he observed my proposition, it was already clear who would win the contract. "Well, gentlemen," he finally spoke, adjusting his oversized glasses. I've always wondered what his love for oversized things is all about. "This has been one hell of a decision, you all brought great propositions and your presentations were flawless, but as you all know, there can be only one to take the contract…" "Why not spit it out to us in a plain sentence that Mordecai here has won?" Landon growled. "It's obvious from the way you shine your dirty old almost fallen teeth while staring at his offers." Shi Ye's smile dropped into a stern look. "Landon, I will remind you that I own the company, not you. And next time when you want to pr

Aaron's standpoint"We don't have time!" Mordecai screamed. His phone rang at that moment. He angrily removed the phone from his pocket and answered it. "What?" He snapped. "What the fuck, Landon! Why are you calling me?!""Put it on speaker," I instructed. He put the call on speaker."How could you let him take Autumn?! You are irresponsible!" Him?"So says the idiot that couldn't handle his father's company! What do you want?!""It's all over the news, Brianna's accident, Meredith's attempted murder, Chelsea's hospitalization, and Autumn's kidnap! The whole world already knows someone out there is on to you!" He knew something."Landon, if you have any idea where Autumn is, please share.""I have no fucking clue. I hired him to get rid of you, not her. I warned him not to. I don't know where he lives, I wish I did." He said pathetically."You are completely useless," Andy spat angrily."You hired him to kill my sister, didn't you, Landon?" Mordecai said with a dark chuckle. "I will
Autumn's standpointI whimpered from pain and disgust. My whole body and that horrible smell. It smelt like dry urine and vomit, really sticky and smelly vomit. I forced my eyes open, already knowing what to expect. Unlike some people who wouldn't recognize where they were when they first woke up after being kidnapped. I knew I was kidnapped, I knew who took me but not who he was. I was more concerned for my unborn child and Chelsea, they probably knocked her out with the butt of a gun. The hit could cause a concussion and that wasn't what I wished for my best friend. If she didn't concuss, she was likely to bleed to death. Hopefully, they didn't knock her out.Surprisingly, I was in a bedroom, a dirty old bedroom. I was wondering what the hell they used the bedroom for when the devil opened the door and walked in. I rolled my weak eyes away from his evil smirk and threw myself back into my sleeping position."You are finally awake,""Yeah, no thanks to you," I said scornfully."Baby,
Chelsea moaned painfully as she turned her head slightly, she knew her muscles were tight. She forced her eyes open and blinked the blurriness away before looking around. She was in her living room, on the floor. Her head hurt like crazy. She whimpered as the pain started becoming more apparent as she put two and two together.She started panicking as she realized she was tied up and was bleeding from her head. The pool of blood spread out around her head to her shoulders. She had lost a lot of blood and was sure to pass out again if she didn't get help soon."Help," she shouted weakly, "somebody, help me…" her throat burnt from dryness and her eyes itched with irritation from falling tears. She felt like she had a nasty fever and would die soon. Her brain pounded against her skull, causing her heartbeat to speed up. She had to call out or she would die. Yet, all she could think of was Autumn and her baby, of what that man would do to her. One look at him and you'd know he's a psychop
