The loud ringing of Ashley's phone snapped her out of her sleep making her startled. She grumpily picked up her ringing phone not bothering to check the caller Id, and received the call placing the phone on her ear. "Hello?" She yawned slowly, stretching her body. "Why the hell weren't you picking up your calls?" Tracy scolded from the other end of the phone, Ashley could see the frown and concern etched in her face as she held her phone to her ear. Her voice sounded off as if she had been crying and reluctantly called her. "I'm sorry," She mumbled still trying to get sleep from her eyes. "Are you okay?" "What?" She snuff her nose trying to hide the fact that she had cried, what could have caused it? "I'm asking if you're fine, you don't sound alright." "I don't know how to tell you this." She burst out crying making Ashley jump to her feet in fear, what the hell was going on? What did she want to tell her and why was she crying? "They- they found him Ashley." "Found who-"
Ashley stared in shock trying to process what she just heard and saw. There's no way, right? "That's a lie, it can't be him," She yelled at no one in particular, She was losing her mind at this moment and nothing else mattered to her. How could she possibly live without the man who owned her heart? The father of her child. "He can't die so easily! He still has a lot to account to me." "Ashley calm down." Tracy held her in her arms pulling her in for a hug hoping to calm her down but she was going crazy, at this moment nothing could calm her down. The state of his body kept replaying in her head and she couldn't help but continue to cry."Please be calm although the situation calls for it, you also need to consider your child." Susan finally spoke despite the chaos. Her face held a deep-seated rage that she tried hard not to show and her eyes were already wet from the tears she had cleaned but still had evidence of it."You are right. My child, that's the only thing that links m
Alex leaned on the wall grunting in pain as he held onto a broken arm when the door of the darkroom burst open, he did not doubt who it was when he heard the heavy footsteps approaching. "It's been a while since you came visiting, seems like things didn't go as planned for you." Alex spat not doubt that those words could put him in danger but right now all he wished to do was to get more information from George about what was going on and to do that he had to make him Lise his temper. "For someone who is hanging by a thread you should learn to keep silent." George scoffed turning on the lights causing Alex to blink profusely until his eyes were able to adjust to it. He was finally able to see the grim look in George's eyes mixed with a long seethed rage. "So why did you grant me this exquisite visit today?" Alex asked leaning his head on the wall behind him stripped off of strength due to starvation. "Couldn't you at least look at my status and treat me right?" He laughed holding hi
George got out of his car with a cigar in between his dark lips, he took off his shades, took a whiff of the air, and walked towards the house in front of him. He knocked and patiently waited for a response while blowing out the smoke from his lungs, the door slowly opened and he locked his eyes with that of Ashley, she stared at the cigar and back at him with a frown on her face."What do you want?" She asked nonchalantly obviously wanting to be anywhere but here talking to him."Why don't we talk inside?" He asked with a dubious smile that set her off."Here is just fine." She folded her arms on her chest revealing her small yet noticeable baby bump that caught his eyes."You can't possibly stand and talk with me at least be considerate with yourself." He smiled not once taking his eyes off her as he continued to smoke his cigar not caring if she felt comfortable with it or not."I don't have all day to speak with you besides I'm mourning-""I've been patient for way too long haven'
"My child doesn't need someone like you," Ashley yelled at him. "This was all your plan from the beginning, it was all a game to you…. I know you must have a hand in his death so that way you could break me even more." Ashley lashed out without a hint of fear in her voice."You're rightfully mine, you're the replacement of your father's debt so don't act all giddy." He frowned at her irritated by the bold act she was putting on. Their heads turned to Ashley's phone which was frantically ringing on the table stool beside the couch, she noticed it was Tracy calling and her mind raced in fear unsure of what to do, this could either be her chance to escape or forever be chained to this ruthless man that had no sympathy."Seems to be your friend, answer it but don't try anything crazy or you say goodbye to your unborn child, maybe then I can consider putting my seed in you." He threatened, she nodded slowly picked up her phone, and paused for some seconds before answering the call."Loud
Alex let out a groan finally after feeling his bruised wrist, he stared up at the man who had set him free."Can you stand?" He asked, stretching his hands out to help Alex up."Yeah, I can barely hold myself up." Alex chuckled leaning on the wall almost looking like a corpse that could still move. He was thankful that his plan was taking place, he had planned this for months and now it was taking action, he prayed nothing would ruin his plans otherwise there would be little to no chance of ever leaving this place again."I'm going to help you up, we need to leave as soon as possible." Kay slowly lifted Alex who was barely able to stand, he hissed in pain while holding his stomach."Damn it." He gasped knowing what he had coming, he had been brutally beaten that everywhere ached and every step he took was torture. "I'll teach that bastard a lesson." Kay was one of his security men who was specially trained for protection but he knew much about infiltration that way he was able to re
"Damn it, how's he here?" Kay mumbled to himself as they both hid in a corner, he watched as George walked past where they hid, he was sure he had spilled the right amount that could make him fall into a deep slumber yet here he was walking majestically, and moments from now he would find out that Alex was missing."I thought you had given him an overdose." Alex snickered staring at Kat who was still processing everything."Now isn't the time to talk nonsense, we have to abort the mission.""What nonsense are you speaking, let's leave now!" "And die?""What?!" Alex "He's going to eventually find out that I'm missing, this is the only chance we got to leave.""Calm down, I know my way around here, wait here.""What if someone comes here?"."Don't act like a scared little girl."."Hey, what are you doing there?" Someone called out while approaching them with a cigar between his lips as he walked nonchalantly with a gun by his side, Kay and Alex exchanged glances as the man walked tow
Ashley jerked up to the sound of gunshots being fired, fear gripped her as she sat beside her bed trembling. "Have they found me?" She thought to herself, if they did know she was in this house then she had better go outside so they can find her easier. She stood up making her way to the door trying to open it but it was locked, she had forgotten that George wasn't one to take risks and was yet to trust her."Damn!" She bit her lips thinking of what to do, she didn't know how to pick locks so she looked around the room for anything that could help her get out of the room. She banged the door hard trying to gain the attention of the guard standing outside her room door."Get me out of here." She screamed banging on the door constantly but he didn't listen to her and maintained his position. Ashley saw that and immediately stopped, looking around the room in a desperate attempt to run, she tried breaking the window glass but it didn't even make a crack. She brushed her hair backward wi
