The booms of the police sirens in the warehouse were getting closer now. Clara was holding her daughter-in-law Zara's hand very tightly to soothe her."Help is here, Zara, just hang in there." These words repeated for a while produced from the lips of Clara, firm but quaking with emotion.Zara's eyes fluttered closed, her face going white and sweaty. Clara missed one heartbeat, not even daring to go to the worst place in her mind.But then Zara's eyes flickered open again, and she fixed them onto Clara. "Clara. Lo siento. I didn't mean to put you in danger."Clara was crying now, blubbering, the tears cascading down her face. "Don't say that, Zara. You're going to be fine. You're going to pull through."The medics burst past Clara, utterly focused on Zara. Clara stood, staring, while they dropped down to her level and pinned the wound on Zara's neck, then pulled her up onto the gurney.She gripped Zara's hand tightly in her own, behind her back in the ambulance, praying that with ever

Fred was laughing when his phone rang, but the moment he answered, his face turned serious."Fred, this is Detective James. I've got some news. We have Hailey, her mother, and Bella. They're all in custody."Fred's eyes grew wide with shock. "What? How in the world did you guys find them?"The detective chuckled. "Let's just say we had some good leads. They're in the process of being booked now."A wave of relief washed over Fred. "Thank God. Thank you, Detective.""We're not done yet, Fred. We still need to question them and get to the bottom of this. But for now, you can rest easy knowing they're off the streets."Fred nodded, even though the detective couldn't see him. "I appreciate it. Please keep me updated."As he hung up, Fred turned to Zara and Clara. "It's all over. Hailey, her mother, and Bella are behind bars."Tears brimmed over in Zara's eyes. "Oh, thank God. Our kids are safe."Clara smiled, her face carved with relief. "This is the best news we could have asked for."Fr

Zara's POVI jumped out of the moving taxi, the moment it was in front of the guest house.I fell to the ground as a result, sustaining some bruises. I didn't care about my health, as I stood up from the ground, and ran into the guesthouse.By the time I got there, Hailey was already waiting patiently for me. She had tears running down her eyes."Zara, they…" she pointed in a particular direction, without saying anything meaningful.I didn't even bother to ask her what happened, as I followed her lead into a room.My breathing was so heavy because I had been running all through."Are you okay?" She asked me, as she led me into the room.It was weird that her tone had suddenly changed. Initially, she seemed to be distressed, but now she was calm all of a sudden."Yes, you called me here because you were in trouble. What the heck is going on Hailey!" I yelled still trying to catch my breath, and I choked on my saliva."Here have some juice" She offered me a glass of juice, on the side s

Zara's POVMy dad held my hand as he walked me down the aisle.He must have noticed the way my hands were shaking because he tightened his grip around my hand.He looked at me and had a small smile on his face.To say that I was scared is an understatement.I was terrified and found it difficult to breathe.I looked in Hailey's direction, and that only made my heart beat faster.My dad handed me over to Louis, with a smile on his face.Louis looked so happy to see me.I looked at him, with tears in my eyes. I had begun to cry under the veil, but nobody noticed it.I loved this man so much, and I have waited so long for this day to come.There is no telling what Hailey would do, just to ruin my wedding."Do you Zara Sabrina take Louis Hernald to be your lawfully wedded husband? In wealth, and poverty. In sickness and in health, till death do you part?" The priest asked me, and I looked in Hailey's direction with trembling hands. She smiled wickedly at me and I dropped my flowers."Yes,

Zara's POVIt's been over a month now since my stepsister got married to Louis.Yet, I still have nightmares about it every day. I looked at Louis's picture on my phone, as I kissed it continually."And what are you still doing here? You haven't washed my clothes yet" My stepmom barged into my room, as she met me sobbing."Wipe those crocodile tears, and wash my clothes by hand. I don't want to see any stains on them, '' she instructed me.I stared at her with tears in my eyes, can she ever be merciful?There were so many maids working in this house, yet she refused to give her clothes to any of them.I got up from the bed and felt the urge to throw up. I ran towards the bathroom, as I placed my palm on my chest.I flushed everything down the toilet.I came out of the bathroom, with one hand on my waist, and the other massaging my forehead."What is wrong with you?" My stepmom asked."I don't know, '' I replied nonchalantly."You know what? I don't even care" She was about to walk out

Zara's POVBy the time I woke up, I was in the middle of nowhere. I was surrounded by nothing, but trees and thick bushes.I guess they must have brought me to the forest.They had my hands tied with a rope, but my legs were free. They slowly approached me with a knife in their hand"Please, spare my life" I went on my knees and pleaded with them."And why should we do that? We have already been paid in full to end your life" One of them looked at me and laughed."I know, please spare me. I promise you that I will go far away from here, my stepmom will never find out you spared me. Please, I beg of you" I began to shed tears.My hands were sweating, and my heart was racing against itself.They looked at each other before they laughed."Fine, we will let you go. But, on one condition. You'll let us have our way with you. You look so pretty" one of them said, as came close to me.He rubbed his palm against my face, seductively and I spat on him."Are you crazy? Didn't my stepmom tell yo

Zara's POVI stood outside the altar, practicing how to breathe, with the flowers in my hands. I still can't believe that I was getting married to a man I met just two days ago. I didn't care if I was doing the right thing or not.I snapped out of my thoughts, when the altar doors were opening, and my eyes popped open at the number of guests that were present.I have never seen so many people gathered in one place before.I swallowed hard and managed to walk down the aisle all by myself. I had no one to even stand as my family member, and nothing hurt more than that.There were many cameras flashing lights everywhere, and if not for the veil that covered my face. I probably would have run away.Mr Fred took me by the hand, as we both exchanged our vows, and he slipped the ring in my finger.The fact that I had a smooth wedding, with no stepsister here to ruin it, was an achievement on its own.The wedding went on faster than I thought, as he took me by the hands, and walked me to the

Fred's POVI had Zara pinned to the wall of my open room when Bella walked into the both of us in such an awkward position.She paused to look at the both of us, she was probably in disbelief. And was using that moment to assimilate the shock."Really?" She cleared her throat, as she walked into my room.I let go of Zara, as I focused my attention on Bella.I was so surprised to see her."When did you get back?" I asked her, as she looked at Zara, as though she was about to chop Zara's head off."I got back yesterday. I even attended your wedding. But, I guess you were too busy with your new wife. You didn't have time to notice me." She raised an eyebrow, as she struggled to keep her gaze on me.She couldn't stop staring at Zara.And I only wondered the kind of thoughts that ran through Bella's head."Don't say that. You know how hectic yesterday was for me. The media kept trying to interview me, and avoiding them was a chore on its own" I explained to her."Who is she?" Zara asked, l

"I have to go in there, Clara, for I have to find out what's happening to my girl. The silence—it just kills me."Clara's face set in a stubborn cast. "No, Zara, I cannot let you in there on your own; it's dangerous."Zara was indecisive. Her mind knew Clara was right, yet on the other hand, she simply could not do this. "Clara, please, I gotta do this. I'll be okay."Clara just shook her head. "But I'm not going to let you go in there alone. What if Bella is dangerous? What if she unmans you?"Zara let out a melodramatic sigh at that one, knowing against all her credibilities that Clara wouldn't."Okay. But you have got to promise me one thing. You have to stay way back and let me handle it. I don't want you under attack because of me."Clara's expression had softened, but her voice did not relent. "I'll stay behind, but just because you promise me one thing- you're going to be careful, and if things get out of hand, you get out of there, period."Zara nodded. Clara, she knew was o

Reaching the bottom step and hearing the 'click' of the sound of the hardwood floor beneath her boots, she entered the living room, where Clara was already seated sipping at a cup of coffee."Hey girl, you look fabulous," she told Zara, placing her cup on the table.Another added booster of her confidence made her smile. "Thanks, Clara, I am feeling rather good today."Clara nodded solemnly. "Yes, we need to find a way to talk about Bella. I was just trying to clear my thoughts and jot down in writing some thoughts on how we would start in dealing with the whole issue."Zara nodded as she got seated on a small stone beside Clara. "I am all ears. Let's hear it all."There she was, deep in conversation, when through the door in came Fred-torn, untidy in his appearance. "Hey guys, sorry to interrupt, but I was thinking of something since you're going out, would you like me to make some lunch for when you get back?"So, forthwith, a smile flitted from Zara, quite touched at Fred's caring

"Me neither. It's like she just snapped or something."Clara held her eyes, concern etched on her face. "Do you think Fred's plan for helping her is a good idea?"Zara hesitated, having known otherwise what to respond to. A part of her wanted to believe that Bella could be salvaged, that she wasn't beyond redemption. Another part of her was just plain terrified, scared of what Bella might do next."I don't know, Clara," Zara said finally. "I want to believe that Bella can change, that she's not beyond help. But at the same time, I'm scared. I don't know what she's capable of."Clara nodded with understanding. "I think so too. But do we not have to try, Zara? For Fred's sake, if nothing else."Zara nodded, her emotions oozing with an air of resolution. "You are right. We have to try."Just then, Fred came downstairs. His eyes were tired, but there was a determined look in them. "Guys, I've been thinking. I know how we can reach Bella."Zara and Clara gave each other a hopeful look. "Wh

As Fred was lost in the thought that it might be possible for Bella to change, Zara grew tense in his hand. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked softly and gently full of concern.Fred was unsure of what to say to Zara about his plan; he just felt undecided. But something in her soft voice just made everything all right. "I have been thinking," he began, his voice barely above the whisper. "I probably could help Bella. I probably could get her the help she needs."Zara's face contorted in incredulity. "Fred, we have talked about this. Bella's beyond help. Toxic, she will bring you down with her."Fred nodded, realizing Zara's concern was founded. But he couldn't help that feeling inside him, telling him he needed at least to try. "I know, but what if I can reach her? What if I could help change her?"Zara heaved a deep sigh and searched his face for an answer. "You really would risk everything, wouldn't you, for her?"Fred nodded, his heart heavy with the weight of his decision. "I have to t

Fred trudged up the walkway, his feet heavy with the weight of his conversation with the detective. He had been hoping to find some way to help Bella, but now he wasn't so sure. As he reached the front door, it swung open and Zara stood before him, a look of concern etched on her face."Hey," she said standing aside to let him in. "How did it go?"Fred sighed, rubbing his temples. He didn't know how to summarize the complicated emotions swirling inside him.A seemingly sympathetic frown was creasing Zara's face. "That bad, huh?"Fred nodded, and he felt an immense weight being lifted, just being near Zara made things better.Zara softly closed the door as he entered inside, then leaned back against it, crossing her arms. "So, did you get to speak to her?" she asked softly.Fred's eyes dropped, his mind flashing back to the conversation with Bella. He hadn't expected her to be so. unrepentant. So uncaring."Yeah," he said at last, voice barely above a whisper. "She was vile like always

Fred asked the detective, "Is there a way to protect her? I don't want anything to happen to her."Detective Mathew's eyes became wide with shock. "Protect her? Mr. Fred, she's the one who has been causing harm to others. Why would you want to protect her?"Fred's expression turned grave. "She's like a sister to me," he said. "I am responsible for her, and I don't want anything to happen to her."The surprise on the detective's face slowly gave way to comprehension. "I see," he said. "Well, Mr. Fred, I can offer her protection while she's in custody, but once she's released. I'm not sure what we can do."Fred nodded, his eyes full of concern. "I understand. Just do what you can, please."The detective nodded. He looked so contemplative. "I'll see what we can do, Mr. Fred. But I have to ask, are you sure you want to do this? She's caused a lot of harm to people you care about."Fred's jaw clamped down tightly, his eyes flashing with determination. "Positive," he said. "She's like a sis

Fred's eyes never left Bella's face and a mixture of shock and sadness was written all over his face. "Everyone, please leave us alone for a minute," he said in a whispered tone.The detective had looked indecisive but nodded, gesturing to his officers to leave the room. "We'll be right outside, Mr. Fred," he said.As the door shut behind them, Fred turned back to Bella. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice trembling. "How can you say that?"Bella laughed coldly and mirthlessly. "You don't get it, do you?" she spat. "You never have. You've always been so blind, so oblivious to everything around you."He took a step closer, his hands extending toward her. "Bella, please. just tell me what's wrong. What have I done to hurt you so?"Bella's eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and she rose to her feet, her body etched with tension. "You want to know what you have done?" she repeated. "You want to know the worst thing you've ever done to me?"Fred nodded, his heart beating in his chest in
