“Thank you.” She said as she sat up and carefully slid the tray in her direction as Rosa quickly left the room.
She took the top off of her plate. It was full of fresh fruit and a couple of strips of bacon. She was reminded of Nick waking her up every morning with sweet kisses and a nice pancake breakfast they shared, as they laughed and talked about what outdoor things they could explore for the day. They had shared a simple life and she had loved every moment of it. They had lived in a Yurt, hunting and fishing for their meals.
She had gotten back to her roots. She missed him so much already and it had been less than twenty-four hours since she had seen him last.

They went to a upscale hair salon called The Hair Company.Bradley did all the talking while she sat in the salon chair pretending the way they discussed her like she wasn't there didn’t bother her. An hour later, Elayna’s locks were no longer above the shoulder or blonde. Her hair was back to the long, raven black locks that curled slightly at the ends. In the end she was back to wearing her red lipstick and fake eyelashes. He was changing her back to his ‘perfect’ toy.

Elayna felt dizzy then, but chalked it up to her emotions running high from all of the questions she had just been asked.The drive home was brutally quiet.She didn't know how her husband was feeling about how the interrogation went. He wasn't acting like the usual Bradley she had married. It worried her. He was closed off in a way she had never seen before. Had his words been true? Had he missed her?When they arrived home she tried once again to walk around unattended, but Bradley was having none of that. She found herself walking along in their large flower garden in the crisp evening air. She was trying to process what all was going on. Pete was giving her her space and was standing a great distance away from her. The police seemed to be entwined in her husband's business more than ever now. S

Rosa came into the room carrying cotton pajamas for Elayna.Elayna woke up at the same time. She sat up immediately thinking she was still in the garden on the small bridge. Once she got her bearings and realized she was in Bradley’s room in his bed. Rosa was placing her pajamas beside her.“Wh..what happened ? How did I get here?” She asked looking around frantically.“You seemed to have passed out, Miss. Pete brought you here upon Mr. King's request. He has notified your doctor, who is on the way. You should change into something more comfortable. Mr. King had me bring these.”She pointed to the cotton pajamas.Elayna was trying hard to keep calm, but blacking out in one place and w

Elayna felt sick to her stomach for enjoying it. It had been out of habit. Her body was a traitor, she thought. Nick had saved her life, and she had done the same for him, but in the process she had cut him out of her and their child’s life. He would never know about the baby. It was unfair. She didn’t know if Bradley would be the best father. He had always told her he hated children and his ex wives all told her that he would never have a child with them let alone her. She was worried even more now. She prayed her child wouldn’t end up like Bradley, and abusive monster. She didn’t know what was to come. All she knew was that she had to think of something quick before her future was one without the love of her life in it…*******

The next few days for Elayna were boring to say the least. She stayed at their home. Even though their home was considered a mansion she was confined to Bradley’s Suite for the majority of her days. She was allowed to walk the premises one hour a day. The control he had on her was worse than before. It had become stifling. Bradley was never far away and made sure to give her magazines that had their faces plastered on them with salacious headlines like: “Elayna is home! Will she stay…”, “ I was lost without her…” Another caption said with a rather handsome picture of Bradley on the cover.She opened that one and saw that he had done a center page interview. He made it sound like he was languishing in despair without her. It a

Elayna noticed Rosa was still there.She walked over to Elayna. Rosa looked at the goon, then back at Elayna. Her tears streaked her makeup and she could see the bruising they had covered up so strategically earlier. She picked up the needle then.“Rosa... please…” She begged her then, not knowing what Rosa would do next.The goon looked at Elayna.

Elayna sat down on the couch in front of the fireplace.He sat down beside her. He was holding a glass of scotch. He took a drink then.“Alvarez was never going to sell. Not after that debacle your boyfriend caused. So I did what I do best. I got him to.”“By framing him.”“I didn’t frame him. I just made some information readily available to the police so he could forfeit his company over to me.Why does this concern you again?”“I told you. I just want to know. I have that right now. I’ve seen too much not to know, right?”“True.” He admitted.“What ab

She placed it in her hands then gave her a small clutch that matched her belt. She opened it and put the phone inside of it making sure to hit the record button before doing so.“Thank you. If I wasn’t so sore I would hug you. I need you to stay safe Rosa, understand?”Rosa nodded her head ‘yes’.“After dinner tonight I need you to leave.

Nick could no longer see.Both of his eyes were swollen shut.Pete had been stripped down to his underwear, sliced and tortured by cuts and salt.Nick’s hand felt as if it were going to burst open for the pressure at any moment. The pain was excruciating. They were both in pretty bad shape. Both of them were dying of thirst . They were only given salt water to drink, which they didn’t. Nick had been waiting for an opening to get free, or for one of the goons to make a mistake so he could reap the benefits of that and dive something, but it ever happened.After hours of torture they were both put in makeshift cages. Nick was sitting in the corner of his protectively holding his hand. Pete hadn’t moved si

Elayna opened her eyes and within seconds realized she was back in her home in her husband’s bed. Had it all been a dream? She asked herself. She was about to sit up when she felt something stinging her left arm. She looked around then.She had been wrong. She was not in Bradley’s room but her own. She had an I.V. in her left hand. Her room looked like a hospital room. There were various medical machines and beeping noises. She felt the back of her head throbbing and touched it. It was wrapped in gauze. The sunlight poured into the room.She remembered the explosion and hitting her head. She also remembered who had caused it all. Last night had been real, she thought. She tried to get out bed once more and noticed she was handcuffed to the bed. She heard Bradley’s voice then. He was standing by the window looking out on their prope

That infuriated him and he tried to get out of the chair.“Fuck you !” He shouted, and was punched, this time in the face.Mr. King was finished with him, for now. He walked over to another male figure that was hanging from a metal hook tied up in the next chair. His vision was blurry but he didn’t need it. He knew it was pete.“You fucking traitor! I hope it was worth it !” he yelled.His goons moved quickly and lowered the hook that he dangled from. and latched his rope tied wrists on to it. His shirt was ripped open. He was covered in soot, ash, dirt and blood.Nick’s vision improved, but not by much and watched as Bradley pulled out a blade. It gleamed in the light.&nb

She hadn’t realized the explosion had knocked her out until she opened her eyes. She could hear nothing but a loud humming noise in her ears. She looked around through the dust and the smoke area. Something warm and sticky was running down the center of her forehead. She touched the liquid and saw it was blood. She wiped it on her jeans. She looked around frantically searching for Nick and Pete. She saw black cars pulling up in the distance. She still couldn’t hear, only the loud humming noise inside of her ears. She tried to stand up but was unable to, so she crawled over to Nick’s motionless body. Fear gripped her. She shook him frantically, and called his name.“Nick!”It was no use. His bloody face was motionless.She cried
