WEST'S POV

What nonsense? We have gone this far, and now just to get a legal certificate and good sponsorship, we end up sealing up our site and waiting for a murderer to be found? My mind is hazy with thoughts as I drive to Luca's home. I remove my tie and jacket, throwing them in my backseat and stepping out. I knock on the door, and Austin is the first to welcome me. "Good morning, Uncle West."

"Good morning, big boy." I put my hands in his underarm and lift it high in the air, causing him to giggle. I carry him for a while on my arms; he struggles against me to get down. "Where is Daddy?"

"He is coming, honey." I set Austin down, and he rubs back into their house. I smile in admiration of the lad.

Lily walks out. "Hey, West." She hugs me. "You didn't go to the site? Luca is already there."

"I did. Luca is on his way back too."

"Why?"

I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to tell her. This is business, but she is family. Hmm. I bit my lips and looked towards the gate, willing Luc

Lily's car, but it may well end up as mine.I can't go back to the suite; what if the cops are already hiding under the bed and waiting to arrest me? What am I going to do?

Where will I hide in Indonesia that they won't find me?I can't go back to Luca's home; I can't go to the suite; I can't go to the site; I can't go anywhere!

I tap on my screen, and I'm shocked when the time informs me that it is night already. How did I sleep for this long? I yawn and resume the driving. I take a left turn and another turn, the road gro

    WEST'S POV"We have to look for a way around this." I say louder for the second time, in case Luca did not hear me the first time.Luca finally turns his face from the window and looks at me. "What do you mean, a way around this?" He doesn't try to hide his irritation out of his voice. "The case is with the state now; you can't ask me to drop charges that I'm not pressing... and even if I had my way, I won't drop it.""Did you hear yourself?" I move closer to Luca, who is sitting behind his desk."Do you hear yourself too?" He repeats my question. "Our business is on the line. We could lose everything we have worked so hard for if we don't cooperate with the authorities to find the murderer.""And what is your deal? What is in it for you?" I sit down on the chair opposite his desk."For me?" He taps on his chest. "A lot is in it for us. Why don't you want us to find the culprit? An innocent person is lying dead, and his killer is roaming free. What will it take from us to support the

    LUCA'S POV Why is West trying to make me look like the bad person that I'm not? This is fucking business; there's no friends or family, or a girl he has barely known for two days. We came to Indonesia for a reason: work and not love. I'm fucking pissed at him right now; to think that he just threw everything we have suffered for so long into the mud without any remorse is so low of him; I'm fucking disappointed.The door to my study slides open, and my beautiful eyerna walks in. "I thought I overheard West... I saw him driving in." She asks, seeking quite unsure."He left." I stand to my feet and walk around the desk to wrap my arms around her waist. "And he won't be coming back.""What do you mean?" She shifts backwards for a moment."I mean I fired him. He was bold enough to say he did want to resign before the termination of employment."Is this one of those you people silly quarrels that you did eventually settle?" He trails her fingers on my earlobes before lifting her ass into

I move over and we do our bro shake and make up.Luca stares at his wife in such an interesting way. He moves to hug her, but she carefully moves aside with no single smile on her. "I should leave the house today, keep it pretty, and have fun. Standing this close to Luca, I can feel the burning rage within him; they have a serious fight. I feel special knowing it is about me. Luca moves to the door that is the only entrance that is constantly open; he locks the door shut, stuffing the key into his pants. "I would love to see you look pretty and walk out of that door to go have fun." Luca blows a kiss to his wife before turning about and leading me to the study."Now that we are here, what next?"

    SAMANTHA'S POV"And now it's time to party!" Lily raises her glass high in the air, and the moment the words drop from her lips, the DJ blends in a soundtrack. She jumps down from the stage and drifts towards us, Luca, West, and I."How much alcoholic content is in that drink you are taking? West tries to collect the bottle from me."Hey, don't do that. I'm celebrating.West, let the lady be." Luca intervened to stop West from bullying me. "Even my baby here is drunk." He pulls my sister by her waist and hugs her; she literally slips out of his hold; the way her body is turning, it looks like jelly."I don't want to be that drunk." I tell West. "I know we are celebrating; it wasn't easy to pull off that act at the prosecution department." I take a sip from West's glass this time, and he doesn't stop me. "You two are very amazing for that brilliant idea." I wave my hands freely in the air, not caring if anybody is looking at me. It's a small party, though; some of the Luca's employees,

    WEST'S POVThe long-awaited pregnancy—I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Sam smacks her hands on her head, and I know that reaction, the type of reaction a person gives when he or she has done something so stupid. Does she think being pregnant with my child is stupid?"Are you okay?" I move closer to her, unsure what she is thinking and what I'm to say in this situation; I have never been a father before. "Let's go back home.""I... just give me a few minutes." She fans herself with her hands."This is not what you want? I can't force you to have a baby if you don't want to. I know you are not ready." I put my hands into my pocket and just wait for her to regroom. I wonder what this pregnancy means for our relationship. I know it is a turning point, but I hope it's a turning point for good. My feet are itchy to move, but I don't want to look as panicked as I feel. "I did say I don't want to have the baby." She uses her hands to wipe the back of her mouth. I quickly stuff my han

    SAMANTHA'S POV"Thank you for letting us stay the night." I look to Lily, who is sitting directly opposite me at the dining table."Why are you thanking me? My house is your house." As the statement leaves Lily's lips, Luca clears his throat, implying that the house is his. We all laugh, and Lily resumes her hospitable gesture. "And you are welcome to stay over here anytime you want to. In fact, you have to stay here. It's so boring here. Don't you feel bored when West leaves for work? Because I feel bored every time that Luca steps out of that door.""Actually, I don't stay home when West is out. I'm undergoing an internship program at New Voices Co." The moment I make the statement, I turn to West, who is sitting beside me, to see his reaction, but his face is to Luca, and they are in deep discussion; I doubt he heard me. I turn back to Lily. "How will you feel bored staying home when there is so much technology to keep you entertained?" I laugh and cut the meat properly with my cut

Who is this Tiffany girl you have been ranting about since you came to the office? And now that we are in the hospital, you are still talking about her nonstop."Maria doesn't understand, and it's making me fucking mad. "I'm not ranting. And Tiffany, she... she is my boyfriend's ex." I breathe out and lean against the car door.Maria locks the driver's seat and turns around the car to stand beside me. "Oh, relax, Samantha." She uses her hands to demonstrate as we step into the hospital building. "Let's get this straight: Samantha is the lady you told me about, the one that tried to suffocate you with the pillow while you were asleep in your sister's house?""Yes, that one." I continue fidgeting as we walk to join the queue of patients waiting to be attended to by the nurse at the counter. I double-checked that every p

After everything my husband has done for me, this is how I repay him—by ditching him on our wedding.The grumpy officer bangs heavily on the metal gate of our cell. "Wake up; your family is here; you are going home." He unlocks it and holds it open for us. I tap my girls to wake up, and I rush over to the officer. "How did they know that...""Don't ask me any questions." He spits.We all run out of the cell to meet everyone. Luca looks pissed, Lily looks really mad, and West... well, West looks disappointed. In me. "I'm sorry." I try to touch West's hands, but he flinches. "It's 6:45 am. The wedding is by 7:00 am." West walks out without another word to me. Lily and Luca walk out as well. Great! I collect my property and rush out to join them in West's limousine, with Stacy, Alice, and Maria following behind me.It doesn't take up to five seconds for us to reach the mansion, or maybe it's just my thinking, but I don't dare to check the time

For what it is worth, today is your spinster's eve."I'm not dressing indecently, and that's on period. This is a little too much now." I light the dress with the tip of my finger to show how disgusting it is. "This is the kind of thing I should wear for my honeymoon, for West's eyes only, not to a damn club full of people.""Huh," Alice shakes her head. "You have not really enjoyed your life; now you are getting married?""Why are we even still going through? Lily is not coming. The men are having theirs in a cafe, and we are going to the club. I don't know why, but I don't feel right about this. I don't know what my mind is making me feel like something bad has happened or is about to happen. I don't know if it has something to do with Lily warning me to be careful. "Of course we are ladies; we have to go to a club." Alice

    SAMANTHA'S POV "How do you feel?" A voice calls out to me. "Sam." The voice is familiar. "Are you still asleep? Wake up!"I stir on the bed, obeying the order; my eyes fly open; the room is too bright. My eyes close on their own accord; taking time to get acquainted with the light, they reopen, and that's when I look around. I'm on a hospital bed? "Why am I on a hospital bed?" I mutter to myself. I can't really remember clearly the events of the last few hours, but I know I'm pregnant. My fingers roam across the bump on my belly...but it feels flatter. I look down. "Where is my baby?""Relax. Our baby is fine." The familiar voice reassures me as I feel a set of strong fingers wrap around my fingers. West.I turn to him and notice a plaster on his shoulder; red backs and bruises on his exposed skin bring back the ugly memories. I was kidnapped; I was taken care of. Tiffany brought a doctor that tried to cut my belly open; my West helped me push out our baby. I smile. "Thank you, honey

    LILY'S POV"Everybody in this van is bleeding and needs medical attention; please, driver, speed on!" I tap on Maria's seat.Maria triples the speed of the car, flying over road bumps and bumping into lightweight trees, and we are lucky we are still driving in the lonely part of the city; else those light trees would have been people.I turn to Samantha, whose eyes are now shut. "Sam?" I look up to West, who is holding her in his arms; his neck is hanging loosely to the side. He is asleep, and his shoulder is bleeding. "There is no first aid box in this van?" I turn to Danny, who is being attended to by one of the females in his gang, Clara. He signals me that she will come to us soon. I turn back to Samantha, whose eyes are still closed. "Samantha. Samantha!" I shout and shake her body, drawing the attention of Luca and West. "What is wrong?""Is she okay?""She is not answering." I reply to them, my eyelids wet with tears as I continue shaking her."Samantha!" West rested his head

    WEST'S POV"Run!!" Luca shouts. "Go with the baby and Sam."Thank goodness, I'm a hulk; I place my baby on my back and wrap another cloth over her tightly on my chest. I do everything with demon speed. I lift my fiancée in my arms and walk out through the back door. I check both sides; it's really cleared. I memorized the map in my hands before shoving it into my pants pocket, and we started moving out through the bush tracks.We are still in close range of the building when a voice calls out. "You need any assistance, though, man?"I turn to my left to find a redhead watching me. I shake my head. "I don't need help.""Why? We could really be of help."The next voice is from my right side. Another man is watching me. That's odd. No one was supposed to be on this bush track. Don't panic. West. Don't panic. I ignore them and try to refocus on my task. "West!" That voice is familiar. Too familiar, and that is because I have known the bearer my whole life, or almost my whole life.I turn

    WEST'S POVMy first thought is to carry her out of here and take her to a hospital, but the van we brought is packed more than 100 miles away. There is still a set of bodyguards waiting for us at the entrance or already coming after us, but the way I'm seeing Sam right now, I don't think we have the luxury of time to waste. We will deliver the baby!I fold the sleeves of my hoodies, and my eyes land on the bedside desk, which looks like an operation table because of the things on it: a syringe, a pack of hand gloves, cotton wool, a pad, towels, a blanket, and a knife. "Is it safe to use this?"She nods. "They brought a doctor. She wanted to force my baby out."What? Is that how devilish Tiffany can be? I want to find her and kill her right away, but I have to wait and attend to Sam first; she is more important. I stretch to the table and open the pack of gloves, and I remove a pair.A loud gunshot pierces through the air as violent men rush in. I cover my body partially over Sam, look

    LILY'S POV"Oh my gosh! I feel like I'm in a movie scene right now. I told you, Maria. I felt like something crazy was about to happen to us." I look around the silk van that was arranged by one of my husband's friends. It is screaming top assassin machinery with the black leather seats, speaker, radio, and TV on the top and dark-tinted glass and all of Maria's electronic gadgets and wires, and oh, don't get me started with the demon speed of this vehicle. "Well, here we are." Maria laughs. She had successfully arranged the fake business deal between us and Viktor. "Yes, Clara, keep moving." She says.We watch Clara and Austin carry briefcases each and confidently stroll through the gate. The empire is in the middle of nowhere with tall bushes surrounding the skyscraper kind of fence. It's the kind of building that screams danger from afar. The guard by the gate is well stocked with rifles and arms on every part of his chest and arms. We can see him stretch out his hands to Clara and

    LILY'S POV"Welcome in! I hear you have news about my sister. How is she? My husband informed me of your arrival." I adjust the denim dress I have on as I step aside and open the door wider for the guest to enter in."Hi, good morning." He enters in, tall and tough-looking; the man I believe is Donny walks in. "Your sister is perfectly fine." Assures me.I move to close the door, but a tougher-looking man enters in, and another, and soon a small battalion is congregating in my living room. I look around in confusion; my husband had only informed me of one man, Donny. "Welcome all." I smile, trying not to look receptive."After they are all seated, it doesn't take long for the familiar sound of my husband's car to roll in. Luca, West, and Maria, a girl Tiffany had introduced to us as her friend from New Voices Co, help themselves into the living room, and we begin the business of the day.Donny takes the floor to talk to us all on the current state of affairs.

Sam. Is Sam missing? No. I start pacing around, tousling my hair like a lunatic. Where do I find her? Tiffany! I'm so mad at myself to think that I waited this much precious time chasing after dust when... How do I even find Tiffany?"What is going on in that mind of yours?" Luca's voice draws me back to reality."I...." How do I put everything I'm feeling in one word? "Tiffany...Sam. Sam is missing!""What?""How can Sam be missing?" Two distinct female voices cry from the doorway.I turn around to see two ladies rushing into the office. Alice and Stacy. "Do you know where she went to from the mall?""Home." She turns to the other girl. "Isn't it, Stacy? Where else will she go? What happened to her? The girl's eyes look so glassy as if she is about to cry. Why?Luca stands from his chair. "I w
