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

    "How?" She stared at him in shock as he slowly walked towards her, she moved back trying to open the door but it was locked, she banged on it screaming as hot tears flowed down her eyes."Please let me go!" She yelled turning back to see him closer to her, her lips quivered in fear as he grabbed her arm, yanked her from the floor, and pushed her to the bed, thankfully she landed on her back."Tell me, do you think you can leave here just because you think there's ongoing chaos?" He grabbed her cheeks roughly making her look at him. "I warned you not to mess with me yet over and over you do the same thing.""Let me be!""Not when you're mine for life." "In your fucking dreams! Let me pay back what my father owes you so that you won't bother me anymore." She tried reasoning with him but his face said otherwise, he wasn't planning on letting her go neither was he planning on listening to her just yet instead he burst out laughing at her bad words amidst the fear she felt."You are one

    Alex stepped into the house, he took note of a strand lying on the floor, he looked around for an item with weight, he took a few steps backward and threw the item toward the strand and just like he thought, an explosion occurred. George was on his way to the ship when he heard the explosion. “Yes! “ He yelled, laughing boisterously, Ashley who looked half dead, too weak from her wailing, mourning Alex just stood there as he pulled her toward the ship. Hearing the explosion, she was startled, she wondered why he would blow off the abandoned guest house when he was about to get away. “It's finally the end, we can finally start a new life, with nothing to worry about, Don't worry I will take care of the child since it means a lot to you, All you need to do is love me, much more than you did Alex” He blurted out, caressing her cheek, she slowly pulled away from him. He clenched his teeth, as he watched her pull away, he pulled away as he was filled with ecstasy from the realizati

    Alex lay on the hospital bed, watching as the fluids flowed through the line into his veins. “Buzz!” his phone buzzed, he tilted his head to pick up his phone, and he saw a message from an unknown sender. He yanked himself off the bed and he punched his phone to check the message. “If you want your wife and child in one piece, show yourself, and let’s end this once and for all” Alex read it out, he looked around but no one was there, at that moment another message came in “Involve the police and she gets it!” Alex looked around panicking, the thoughts of Ashley stuck with the monster again scared the shit out of him, He groaned, flipping his phone out of sight. He was not ready to dance to George’s tune, more so he wanted all this to end as soon as possible. He looked to make sure no one was watching him, he pulled out his car keys from the shelf next to his bed. He got up, walked toward the door, peeped through, and rolled back to his ward, pacing around the room as Cops w

    Alex opened his eyes slowly, staring at the ceiling with his lashes constantly falling on each other, he titled his head to his left but there was no one next to him, he titled to his right, same emptiness, he rose off his bed, he looked around him, nothing felt familiar to him, stroking his hair, he walked through the walkway before him. ''Hey Alex, you’re up" Ashley hurled toward himHis jaw dropped, and puffed out a sigh of relief, seeing Ashley hale and hearty with their child still in her belly. He dashed toward her, pulling her into his arms, ''Oh baby, I was so worried, I thought something bad happened" He shivered as he held her hands. She pulled away gently with an awkward smile, “Something did happen but I'm glad you’re okay, let’s have breakfast” She urged as they walked together “Ashley, where is this?” Alex asked as he looked around the unfamiliar house, “What do you mean? We bought this house months after we got married” Ashley answered as she set out the table f

    Ashley slowly opened her eyes as she had shut them when he was about to pull the trigger. She felt the worst might have happened and was scared to see the horrible sight before her, she slowly looked at Alex to see if he was okay and thankfully he was, she looked at George whose arm was bleeding at the moment, Ashley gazed up to see who had shot him and gasped."I told you I was going to kill you myself." Mika stood in the doorway panting and holding her stomach in pain, Ashley recalled her being shot and thought she had passed away but thankfully she had saved them. George scoffed at her, aiming the other gun at her."If you really intended to kill me then you would aim for my chest or head." He sounded cocky, not a single shred of fear in his voice. Alex used the opportunity to launch an attack on George and punch him in the head thereby making him stagger forward, Alex took the gun from his hand and hit his hand where the bullet had been fired, he groaned in pain as blood gushed ou

    I would do it and that's a promise." Alex assured him staring him right in the eye. "All you have to do is let my wife be and live your life."George burst out laughing at him knowing quite well, what the proposal was going to be. "Do you really think I'm that frightened that I can't leave whenever I want?""You can't leave, isn't it obvious to you already? You would need my help and the only way you can leave is if I help you." Alex tried to bargain with him but George didn't seem to be interested in the offer and just burst out laughing at him."I wonder what you would do if people going out with you wanted to help a mafia out of the country just to keep his girl.""She's not yours you idiot!" Alex ranged in anger even though he felt like crap he couldn't stand the nonsense being spoken by George. One more kick in the stomach and he would literally cough out all his intestines if this carried on."Do you really think things are going to go your way because you feel so?" Alex laug

    A week had passed and still no response or return call from George which had Alex really worried, he had tried to track the number which was used in calling him but to no avail, it was as though it was erased and never existed. He got a call from an unknown number instantly answering it knowing who it was."If you want to talk, meet me at the location sent to you, bring someone along with you and she's screwed." George said from the other line of the phone and ended the call. Before he could say anything, the call ended. Alex quickly grabbed his keys making his way down the stairs, Tracy stood up at the sight of him making his way down the stairs so quickly wondering why he was in a rush."Have you found anything yet?" She asked him."He asked me to meet him up somewhere.""Let me go with you, maybe I could be of help somehow." She offered seeming somewhat restless, hoping that her friend was alright."Stay with Susan and I'll handle this, besides it could be dangerous for you to be

    Ashley silently sat on the cold floor staring in silence and not knowing what to do in her situation, She believed that Susan would be fine and by now they would have realized she was nowhere to be found, She felt sad that she didn't tell Alex about her plan but hoped he would understand her decision.Her train of thought was disturbed by the sound of the metal door opening, she looked up to see George approaching her with a big smile on his face as though he deserved it."What seems to be on your mind, my lady?" He grinned, placing a can of soda and some bread beside her."Predicting your death, what else?" She retorted sarcastically, he let out a light chuckle and paced around the room looking around as though finding if she had created some sort of escape route."Hmmm, dying by your hands doesn't seem like a bad idea you know? I won't make that possible because I don't want your hands to be stained with blood." He winked at her, and she rolled her eyes, staring at the junk beside h

    Ashley looked around the place to see if anyone was coming and when she saw no one, she became more frightened, she had left the house under Alex's nose but this was the sacrifice she had to make to ensure the safety of Susan."Thought you weren't going to come."George snickered from behind, she jerked her head to look at him and her body followed, a frown shown on her face as she gazed at him in hatred."Have you set her free?" She asked and he nodded at her reassuringly but it was hard to believe his words but she had no other option. "So what are you going to do to me now?" "Continue from where we stopped." He smirked at her, dragging her by the hair and pulling her closer. She screamed in pain trying hard to release herself from his grip but to no avail. "Did you really think that I would let it slide you bitch?""I dont care if you're angry, you deserve to die.""Who is talking about dying? If at all anyone needs to die first it should be that baby in your belly." He smirked a

    Ashley took out the tracker she had in her hair and handed it over to Tracy."I'm glad you're safe, I hope your didn't get hurt." Alex observed her body for any signs of injuries but she was okay."You don't have to worry too much darling, I'm doing just fine." She assured him."What happened to Mika?" He asked her and her face instantly turned to a frown."She betrayed us, she had intentionally exchanged the ring tracker to divert the attention of the cops but thankfully I had another which she had no idea about." ,shley explained."I'm sorry about that… for putting you and our baby in danger." He held her hand in his with a guilty face."It's alright but I didn't have trust for her from the onset and thankfully it paid off." She shrugged."The doctor would be here soon as you requested," Tracy told Alex who nodded frantically, Ashley looked at him in confusion wondering why he called the doctor."What's wrong?" She asked scrunching her brows and waiting for him to respond."I need t
