Becky’s POV

Phillip and Frank were home early, but because of Anna, it was nearly 9:00 pm before we could talk.

“Aside from making a deal with Davis, is there no way we could get her mom not to sell the company?” Frank asked.

“Believe me, I tried,” Phillip said, pouring us a drink. “She doesn’t want to talk to me, let alone accept my offer.”

“Sometimes I wonder if she really is my mom,” I said sadly.

Phillip looked uncomfortable.

“Don’t say that. I will find a way around it. Maybe if you give up the company and pretend you didn’t care about it, Davis would lose interest in it,” he suggested.

“He won’t. He would buy it and ruin it just to get at me. I won’t let that happen,” I said.

Davis wasn’t going to get my dad’s company, I decided. I knew how much my dad had sacrificed to build it. It had been his dream ever since I could remember, and he had spent time, money, and a lot of sleepless nights to achieve it. I still couldn’t believe my mom would give it up just to get at me, but I

    Becky's POV I forced myself to stand up and walk to my room. I knew Phillip was angry and upset because he was worried about Anna, but he didn’t have to take it out on me.I was not happy, and needed to talk to someone. I wish Jenny and I were still speaking. I thought about calling Frank, and glanced at the time. It was late. But when I logged into social media, I saw him online, so I called him.“Hey Rebecca, why are you awake so late? Is everything okay?”“I don’t know. Nothing is really going well right now.”“What happened?”I told him about Davis and Anna.“I am sorry about Anna, is that why Phil is angry?”“Yeah, so am I.”“What are you guys going to do about Davis?”“I can’t let him take my father’s company, but I don’t want to leave Phil. I am seriously confused on what to do.”“Why not move away for a while, let things cool off.”“What about Anna?”“If she needs professional care, Phillip will provide her with the best. Don’t worry about her.”“I don’t know.”“Maybe you sho

    Becky’s POV I felt a sharp pain as I slowly woke up. My head still hurt, and my throat was sore. “Are you okay?” I flipped my eyes wide to see Phillip staring at me with concern. “What are you doing in my room?” I mumbled. “You are in the hospital,” he grinned. “Why? What happened?” “You passed out. The doctor says you have a fever, and are really stressed.” “But I feel better now. When can I go home?” “Tomorrow. The doctor wants to keep you overnight.” I remembered I left Anna at home. I tried to get up. “Anna is alone, I have to go to her,” I said, struggling to get up while he held me down. “Anna is fine. Her new caregivers are with her already.” I was stunned for a second, then my eyes fell. “Well as long as she is happy that is great, I guess,” I said sadly. “Rebecca, I am sorry about the way I acted. I have been a jerk, and I want you to please forgive me.” “Yes, you have been a jerk,” I murmured. “I was scared when you informed me about Anna's health, and I r

    Becky’s POV I read it and stared at the letter, too stunned to speak.“Are you okay?” Phillip asked gently.I stared at him, but still I couldn’t say a word.“A college admission letter?” I gasped finally.“I have had it for a week now. I was waiting for a romantic time to give it to you but I guess now is good,” he said gently.“But how?”“It was not difficult,” he grinned.Tears stung my eyes, and I shut them tightly, imagining if I was dreaming and would soon wake up.“Phillip, I can’t-““You deserve it. It’s your dream. Take it, consider it a gift from Anna and me.”I nodded, fighting to stop my tears.“Get some rest. Tomorrow morning, I will send Larry to come and pick you up. Please forgive me that I won’t be the one to take you home. I have something crucial to attend to, but I will try to be back early.”“Thank you for everything,” I whispered.“I am happy to do it.” He smiled and kissed me lightly. His lips tasted like honey, and I wished he could deepen it, but he withdrew

    Phillip’s POV After I spoke to Rebecca I called a florist and asked him to deliver a bouquet of flowers to her. I called the estate security to tell him to be expecting the delivery man, and to let him in. I didn’t want him calling the house and spoiling the surprise.Then I sat back dreaming of what I had planned for the evening. I was going to make Rebecca’s last few days in the mansion memorable.Frank came in not looking very happy.“What are you smiling about?” He asked suspiciously.“Nothing. Why are you looking so grumpy, anything the matter?”“Rebecca is leaving to go and live with Sandra Martins, I don’t think that is a good idea.” “Why not?” I asked.“Celine and her dad. That’s why not. How can you even allow such a thing? You should have said no.”“Rebecca is not my slave nor my kid. She is an adult, free to make her own decisions. If she feels living with Sandra is what she wants then who am I to stop her?”“But it is a bad idea!” He insisted. “Celine and her dad are st

    Becky’s POV I looked at the flowers Phillip had sent me and smiled.I was surprised to receive them with the note attached.SEE YOU TONIGHT.Was this real, or was I dreaming? Was I really experiencing romance? Maybe he was trying to tell me that even though I had decided not to live with them any longer, his feelings for me hadn’t changed.I took the flowers to my room, and fixed them in a vase. I would take them along when I went to Sandra’s place.I opened my wardrobe and ransacked it with my eyes , wondering what to wear for the date. Thanks to Anna, I now owned more than enough clothes to choose from.I decided on a red evening dress. Anna and I had picked it out the last time we went shopping, and I had never worn it. My heart raced at the thought of what was ahead. Would something happen? I needed Jenny’s advice.I called her. She answered, but spoke very fast.“Is everything okay?” I asked.“Almost late for my next class, what’s up?”“Okay, I won’t take your time. Phillip is t

    Becky’s POV What just happened? I screamed in my mind. A sudden chill flushed over me, and I realized I was still half dressed. Red with embarrassment, I quickly pulled up my sleeves, then sat on the edge of the bed thinking where I had gone wrong.I had followed Jenny’s advice. She called me earlier in the evening while I was getting set.“Okay, so what do you want to talk about?” She asked.“I am moving out in a few days, your aunt has invited me to stay with her,” I began.“Really? That is great!”“Do not fuss. I am certain that it was your idea in the first place,” I said.“No honestly, it wasn’t. I admit I did consider it, but when I brought it up Aunt Sandy told me she had already invited you.”I was surprised, I had thought Jenny was behind it all along.“So when are you moving in with her?” Jenny asked.“On Saturday. But tonight, Phillip has arranged to take me to dinner, and I think he will try to… you know what I mean... kiss me a little more. “I stammered.“What do you me

    Becky's POV It was an article on a news blog, with a picture attached that showed Phillip having dinner with Celine. I quickly read through the article that talked about them getting back together.“I have no idea why Phillip will be anywhere near Celine? Do you have any clue what he is up to?” Frank asked.I shook my head not trusting myself to speak.Phillip had said he won’t be able to have dinner with me because he would be working late, was this the work? I remembered his odd behavior and wondered if he had been lying to me all along.No, there must be an explanation.” I thought.“Are you okay?” Frank asked with concern.“Yes I am fine. This means nothing. Maybe it is part of Phillip’s plan.”“What kind of plan involves getting back with Celine?”“I do not know, but I don’t think he is getting back with her. Maybe he is trying to get information from her,” I said.“Does not look that way,” Frank said, looking at the picture again. “They look really close.”I handed him back his

I was surprised and scared by what I had been imagining.“Leave me alone, Celine,” I said, and pushing past her, I ran out of the mall“No matter what, I wasn’t going to let her goad me into a fight,” I thought. If I had known that I would bump into her, I wouldn't have come. I started looking around for a cab. I got one and jumped in. I was halfway home when Frank called me. I had forgotten all about him in my hurry.“Where are you?” He asked.“Sorry Frank, I am on my way home.”“Home? Is everything okay?” He asked, alarmed.“Something came up. Please, I will call you later.”“What? Is it to do with Anna?”“No. I am not feeling so good,” I lied.“Sorry about that. I guess I will see you later.”“Sure.” I hung up, sighing. What was wrong with me? I was thinking all sorts of crazy things. I couldn’t wait for tomorrow, maybe time away from here would do m

The officer insisted on taking me to the hospital even though I told them I was okay. All I needed was a bath. Phillip rode with me in the ambulance while Celine and Frank were handcuffed and taken away.The doctors agreed I was okay except for the bruise on my ankle, I was told they would keep me for twenty-four hours then I could go home.“I will call Sandra, and the rest to let them know you are okay,” Phillip said as he kissed me.“Sure.”Finally, I was able to take a shower. I felt a lot better, but when I laid down, I couldn’t help being furious about the whole thing. How could Frank do such a thing?

Is this a joke?” Rebecca asked.I just stared at him, too lost to find my voice.“Does it look like a joke, Rebecca?” Frank sneered.“Frank, what are you doing?” I finally was able to mutter.“We are working together. Are you surprised?” Celine asked.“What? So Dom is working for you?” Rebecca asked in astonishment.“Sure. He has been my eye in the house from the day he was hired,” Frank smirked. “His job was to keep an eye on everyone there.”“Why?” I asked, stunned.“Are you asking, you idiot?” he laughed. “You really think I like you? You are dumber than I thought.”“We have been working together from the beginning. We knew each other before he introduced me to you, so it wasn’t so hard to come along,” Celine grinned.“So all the sabotage I have been having at the company, and the investors pulling out because of a false rumor, you were behind it?” I flared at Frank.“Yes. And I also told Jessica to dump you. I told her you were having an affair

    Phillip’s POVIt was quite late when I got to the beach. Throughout the drive I kept wondering if I was doing the right thing. The kidnapper had phoned me on my way down and asked me to meet him there. He had told me to turn off my handset, and leave it in the car, warning me not to try anything stupid. The way he spoke, I guessed he was somehow observing me. And on my way down I had a feeling that there was someone coming behind me. I pulled up in front of the rundown abandoned building on the edge of the beach that had once been a warehouse. I did everything I was told and stepped out of the car. The air was cold and damp. I could hear the waves and my heart raced as I walked towards the building. I touched an old wooden door and it opened. It was dark inside, but the moonlight streamed in. Everywhere was quiet.“Hello!” I called out. The empty building echoed back at me.“Anyone here? Rebecca?”“Put your hands behind you!” A voice said quietly behind me.My heart skipped, but I o

    Becky’s POV“It has been awhile hasn’t it?” Celine sneered.“So you are behind this? You are working with Dom! I guessed it.”“I am not the only one, stupid.” She laughed.“Who else? Your dad, right?”“You don’t need to know. Did you really think you and Phillip would get away with what you did to my family?”“We didn’t do anything!” I said angrily. “He did. My dad lost his company and reputation because of him! Now it is time for payback.”“You won’t get away with this, Celine!” “Save it! We already have. We are going to get money and get rid of you both.”I swallowed nervously.“What do you mean?” I demanded.“Simple, stupid. We are going to get ransom for you, then make sure you are never seen again. Are you scared?” She asked mockingly.“It won’t work. Phillip has probably informed the security agencies. If you kill me, you will regret it,” I said bravely.“He hasn’t, and he won’t. Besides who said anything about killing you? Although I would have preferred that, my partner has

    Phillip’s POVSandra and Jenny looked at me anxiously as I hung up.“Well?” They asked.“The caller is asking for two hundred million dollars.” Sandra gasped. “When does he want it?” She muttered.“In five days.”“I will pay for it.”“Do you have that much money aunt Sandy? Your company may collapse,” Jenny told her.“I don’t mind,” she said. “Okay, I will pay half. Can you make up for the rest, Phillip?”“Wait, you want us to pay the ransom?” I asked, surprised.“Of course,” they chorused.“No. We are not paying any ransom. I will call the police.”“No! The kidnapper warned you not to, remember?” Jenny said.Sandra joined her. “She is right. We will keep it quiet, pay the ransom and Rebecca will be returned to us.” “Come on you two, you can’t really believe that? What if he gets the money and we never hear from him or Rebecca again?”“It is a risk we have to take,” Jenny said.“I prefer to risk going to the police,” I insisted.“No. Pay the money. It is the only way to get her bac

    Becky’s POVI groaned and twisted as light infiltrated into my eyes. My eyes still felt heavy and that arrogant fragrance was still hovering over my nose.I thought I was at home and was drifting off to sleep again when I heard a cellphone ringing somewhere. The ringtone sounded like mine. I forced myself to open my eyes, and realized with a shock that I wasn’t on my bed at home.Quickly sitting up, my head spun a bit, and realization hit me that I was on an airbed. I looked around and noticed how small and dusty the room was. The only thing visible being the airbed and a portable toilet. Light streamed in from a glass window that had metal bars.Where am I? I thought.I scanned through my brain to recollect my past. Then I remembered. I was at the cemetery, about to leave when I saw Dom standing near my car. I remembered the hankie he tossed before me before I went blank.My heart skipped a beat. Did Dom kidnap me? Why? For money or something more? I tried to stand up, but I felt a p

    Phillip’s POV“Enough Wendy! Go to your room!” Her mother snapped.Wendy frowned. “If you know where she is, mom, you should say it. If anything happens to her, you will be held accountable.” She marched to her room.“You see what you have caused! Now my own daughter thinks I am guilty!” She told me angrily.“Are you?” I asked, looking her in the eye.“Don’t be stupid, of course not. I didn’t know she was missing until Wendy started accusing me this afternoon. She was here yesterday and left the way she came.”“So where were you hoping to get the half a million from?”“Like I said, from Rebecca. She promised to give it to me.”I frowned. This was definitely a lie.“She couldn’t have,” I said. “I have looked at the financial records, with the way you left the company, if she took that much money out she risked going bankrupt. So how was she going to do it?”She looked surprised then uncomfortable.“Well maybe from her savings.”“Definitely no. She hasn’t saved up to that.”“I said mayb

Is anything wrong?”“We found her car parked at the cemetery. We would like her to come and remove it.”“The cemetery. Oh my God!” Sandra said, coming to join us. “She is not with us; we guess she must be in trouble.”“Have you made a report?” The cop asked.“No. I wanted to wait for twenty-four hours. But I will go now and do it,” I responded.I went straight ahead with the cop to remove the vehicle. The car keys, her phone, and her purse were on the driver’s seat.It became glaring that something was definitely wrong. ***“Jerry has something to do with this!” Jenny insisted.We were all in my living room. After I left the station, I went home and let Sandra know what had happened, then I called Frank and Jenny to inform them too.

I decided to order lunch for myself and have a lonely meal,” he complained.“Sorry, I got caught up in an emergency meeting,” I said, joining him.“On Saturday?”“Like I said, it's an emergency.”“Is everything okay now?”“Yeah. I have it under control.”“Why weren’t you picking your calls?” He asked.“You called me? I didn’t hear it. I turned off the volume. Is Rebecca not here?”“No. I called her too, but she did not pick up. She must be at work.”“No. She is taking time off work to prepare for our wedding.”“Really?”“Yes. I thought she would be here, that's why I didn’t hurry so much.”“Nope. I haven’t seen any sign of her. I have been calling her all afternoon,” Frank told me.I dialed her number. It rang without an answer.“She is supposed to meet Jenny this afternoon to pick up her gown. I guess that is where she is.
