last update Last Updated: 2023-08-29 14:25:54

Just when I was sure that Dave had left, I felt some movements by my window. I froze. I had just forgotten that Sofia was still out there trying to harm me.

But hadn't Dave said that he had increased security around the house? How could they be here again?

I did not have time to think about it. I trembled and looked at my phone. Did I have to call Dave? But I was still mad at him…

I was still thinking of what to do when the house went dark! I screamed in fear. Those men were here again! I knew all their signs.

Without thinking, I jumped out of bed, opened the door and rushed out of the room. The last thing I heard was my window opening.

I was as scared as hell as I rushed to Dave's room. I did not have any other place I could go, right? I had to step on my pride and find him.

Dave switched on his bedside lamp when he heard me walk in. “What happened?“ He asked. It looked like he had already gone to bed.

“They came back,” I said while panting. “Brother… they have been around…” I sai

    …Dave had just spoken when he saw the girl beside him holding her head like she was in pain. “Mia…” he called as he looked at her.Mia stood up suddenly, but she winced in pain the next time and fell back on the bed, still clutching her head. “Brother…” she cried.Scared, Dave held her in his arms. “What is happening?“ He asked. Even though he was sure that it was her poison acting up, he still felt scared.“It hurts…” Mia cried as tears fell from her eyes. The whole of her body hurt, and she felt like it was unbearable. “Brother… it really hurts…”Dave hurriedly pulled out his drawer and pulled out a pack of medicine. He took one and fed her, before quickly feeding her some water. “It is going to be okay,” he said.But Mia still cried. Her tears this time were visible as sweat formed on her forehead. She looked like she was in really great pain.Dave hurriedly called Kenny. This was the first time that that medicine was not working on Mia. Was it because of the injection the other d

    I panicked a little. But because he had already seen through me, I nodded my head. “Yeap, she just left.“I felt stupid that I had to tell him the truth when he kept so many secrets from me. He pretended not to like Becky but he had even slept with her.I would not be so surprised if I learnt that he had told her about me sharing the bed with him. That meant that they always talked about me.Dave shook my shoulders and I looked at him in confusion. “Um… what is wrong?“ I asked.“What did she want? You look so off,” he stated, looking into my eyes. “What did she tell you?“I pursed my lips tensely. Could he see through me that easily? But I shrugged and forced a smile. “Just things between girls. You don't need to know about it…” Was he scared that Becky had told me about them?Dave seemed not to believe me. I could still see him looking in the direction that Becky had left, and it confirmed to me that there could be something he was actually hiding.I sighed and pulled him into the ho

    …After unwrapping the other gifts that dad had brought, most of which belonged to me, we went to bed. Dad was tired from the trip and he had to rest.I went to my room and prepared for bed. But just at the same time, the words that Becky had said earlier resurfaced in my mind.I sighed. I did not know why they took the better of me. Wasn't it just normal for Dave to be preparing for his marriage now? Why was I feeling bad?I sighed again and carried my teddy bear to bed. I still had it with me. Even if Dave got married and stopped being there to me, I would still hug the teddy to sleep.I turned around in bed without falling asleep. I was just feeling so anxious about everything. First, I was happy because I knew that I was completely healed. Even though dad had said that I would have to undergo a check for a few months, I knew that I was going to live.Then there was the homecoming ceremony that they were going to hold for me. Even though I had been raised up in a well-off family, m

    …In the morning, I wanted to keep dad company as Dave went to the company, but I received a call from Emah. She said that she had just returned from home and that she wanted us to talk.“Is everything okay?“ I asked in confusion. Emah sounded as though she was so mad at me. I could not remember having done anything wrong to her.“Just meet me at the address that I will send you. We can talk while there,” she said and hung up.I sighed. Emah had never sounded that mad at me. I felt like things were not any good, but I could not explain any of them.Since Dave had already left, I told dad about my plan and promised to come back on time. He asked a driver to drive me to my destination.Reaching the park, a place that Emah, Dave and I had often visited, I saw Emah sitting on the swing.I took in a deep breath and ran towards her. “When did you come back?“ I asked and wanted to hug her. “We missed you…”But Emah ignored me, the look on her face so cold that I shivered. I pursed my lips an

    I really wanted to relax, just like he said. But how could I do it? How could I relax in such a state?“Professor… they might kill you. Just hand me over to them…” I said after trying to weigh my thoughts. I did not want anything to happen to Alex because of me.However, I cried in fear when the men shot at my window, making the glasses break into tiny pieces. They were really determined to take me away with them.I shivered more when I heard them shoot towards us. I even began making my last prayer. I knew we were going to die!However, Alex seemed determined. He held my hand and looked at me. “Don't do anything, Mia. Don't leave the car. We are going to be okay…” he said.Before I had time to react, he opened the door and jumped out, his gun in his hands. “Professor!“ I shouted, but he was already out.In the next few minutes, all I could hear were the sounds of gunshots. I shut my eyes tight as I lay on the seat, trembling continuously.However, I sat up with a start when the door

    I looked at Dave in shock. Why would he hate that? Dan was not just any other man. Was something wrong with him?I held his hand and pushed him away. “I am tired brother,” I said. “I want to go home…” I did not think I wanted to discuss this with him.Dave creased his brows. “ Mia… there is actually something that I want to tell you…” he began speaking. His expression was so serious that it made me alarmed.But just at the same time, Dad called me. I looked at the phone and froze. But Dave nodded, asking me to pick it up.“Dad…”But dad's anxious voice could be heard from the other side. “Sweetheart… where are you? Are you okay?“ He asked.I sighed. “Dad… I am with Brother. We are fine. We shall be home soon,” I said and hung up. I knew that he must have heard something about the attack.Dave started the engine again, but I remembered that there was something he wanted to say earlier. “Brother, you said there was something you wanted to tell me?““Forget it,” Dave said as he looked ah

    I gasped again as I felt the cold water all over me. I drank a mouthful of water, and groaned again.“Becky… Save me!“ I cried out, hoping that she would help me out. My fear of water was something that I had tried hiding from everyone.Ever since that day when I was six years old and Denny tried to drown me in the swimming pool, I had never tried swimming again. I was always so scared of water.But to my shock, I heard her chuckling. “That serves you right, Mia. Did you think you could fool me? Once you are dead, Dave can only see me…” she said.I managed to catch a glimpse of her as she tried to walk away. And my fear increased. “Becky, please…” I called. It was already getting difficult for me to breathe.I knew that if no one came to save me earlier, I was going to be dead. Nooo! I didn't want to die of water just after being treated for the poison. Why was my life so unlucky?“Die in peace, Mia. No one is here to save you,” Becky said and disappeared. I tried to struggle, knowing

    The moment Becky saw Zack, tears fell from her eyes. She hurriedly held his arm. “Uncle, it is all my fault. I did not know that Mia did not know how to swim. I did not do it intentionally…” she cried.Zack looked at her with pursed lips. He was still feeling angry that his daughter's life had been put in that state.Mia was just an innocent and calm girl who liked peace of mind. Why did anyone try to harm her?“Zack, this matter is between the children… I don't think it was intentional. Why don't we talk about it?“ Adam asked, looking apologetic.But Zack still pursed his lips. “Becky, uncle is not blaming you. But… can you tell me everything that happened? What was Mia doing at the pool? I just want to know so that I can handle it…“Even though he had just learnt that Mia did not know how to swim, he did not think that her almost drowning was a coincidence. But maybe he could listen to Becky to understand better, right?Becky nodded, trying to wipe away her tears. “She said she want

    I pursed my lips and scratched my head as I looked between Emah and Little Treasure. “Um… Are you going to fight with a kid?“ I asked and winked at Emah.“Auntie Emah, why are you so annoying? Little Auntie's baby is mine,” Little Treasure said with a pout.I felt like laughing at the two of them. They were fighting over something they were not even sure about.Emah blushed. “Um, because Little Treasure booked first, I would ask you to pray hard that it is a girl. If not, you will only end up with a little brother,” she said.Little Treasure smiled. “Auntie Emah is sensible nowadays,” he said, giving me a peck on the cheek.Soon, more and more visitors came, ranging from close friends to other business partners. The party was not very formal. So, we ate, drank, and had fun.I was so exhausted when the party ended and we finally went to bed. “Aah! I am just so exhausted,” I said as Dave wrapped his hands around me.“Don't worry, we have the whole of tomorrow to rest before we leave,” he

    …Dave picked the biggest piece of meat and put it on my plate. But I quickly shook my head at him. “No, I don't want to eat this much again,” I said.At that time, most of my clothes did not fit anymore. I was scared that if I ate a little more, I wouldn't be able to recognize myself.“What is wrong with her? Hasn't meat been her favorite?" Dad asked with raised brows.And the shameless Dave burst out laughing. “She is scared of getting fat,” he said. I felt embarrassed at his words.Dad and Mom also burst out laughing. And I did not know whether they were laughing at me for my fatness or something else.“Darling, don't stress yourself about the meals. It is normal for you to gain some weight when pregnant. After you give birth, you will go back to your normal body,” Mom explained.I looked at her with some doubt. “Are you sure?“ I asked. I was scared that they were just happy to see me gain more weight.“I am very sure, darling,” Mom said, and she began looking at her phone. “See, t

    …I opened my eyes, and the happy voices and noises outside shocked me. Was there a party or something?I had felt sleepy after having lunch, so I went to bed. I did not even know how long I had slept.I moved on the bed and felt uncomfortable. What was wrong with me? Wait, what was I putting on?My eyes opened wide when I saw myself in a white wedding dress. Was Dave playing another trick on me?I turned around to look at myself in the mirror, but I froze. That was not our usual house.And taking a closer look, I realized that I was in the house on Treasure Island. How had I gotten there?“The bride is awake!“ Emah shouted as she entered the room. “Sigh! We were all waiting for you.“I looked at her in shock. “What are you doing here?“ I asked. Did everyone come to Treasure Island with us?“To attend your wedding, of course,” Emah said, pulling me to the bed. “Look at you. How did you sleep? We have to patch up your make-up again.““Where is Dave?“ I asked. Did he drug me to sleep so

    The doctor was taken aback. He looked at Dave with questioning eyes. “Your wife is two months pregnant. Are you sure you knew nothing about it?“ he asked.Dave once again looked at the girl on the bed. His heart was beating very fast. “No wonder she has been very moody recently. Doctor, what am I supposed to do?“ He asked, his eyes dancing with joy. He was going to be a dad.“Try making sure that she is stress-free. It is always a bit difficult for first-time mothers to handle too much stress and anxiety,” he explained.…I had just woken up when I heard something about someone getting pregnant. For some reason, my heart began beating so fast.“Who is pregnant?“ I asked in a small voice. Dave was holding onto my hand.He quickly looked at me when I spoke. “Honey, you are awake,” he said, kissing my cheeks. “I was very scared.““Who is pregnant?“ I asked again. I wanted to know the answer to that so much.Dave creased his brows. “You did not know about it?“ He asked softly.And I shook

    Yuel looked at Sofia with a sigh. “I think we have to stop it. Denny will be mad at you. And she might tell Mia the truth,” he said.He was still feeling afraid when he remembered the things that Dave and his men had done to him in that basement.But Sofia waved Denny's phone in her hand. “I have her phone. She can't communicate with anyone,” she said."But, siz,” Yuel tried to say. Denis had promised to help them out in the end. Wasn't Sofia going to ruin everything if she tried to harm Mia?“I am going to get rid of her like I should have done in the past. It doesn't matter anyway. Sooner, I will go back to jail.“…Denny could not just sit still when she thought that her mom was going to harm Mia. She looked around the room, trying everything to get out of there.And at last, she succeeded in breaking the window and left quietly. She was not going to allow her mom to do another harmful thing to Mia.“Sir, please, can I use your phone?“ She asked the first person she saw on the way.

    Mom chuckled and nodded her head continuously. “Yes, he is trying to act sweet. Also, we all know how much Dave loves you. You have to be happy with the way he calls you,” she said.Even though I thought it would look funny if I was happy with anyone calling me stupid, I still nodded my head.The only thing I thought of was to also look for a name like that to call him by. It would serve him right.My phone on the table vibrated. I thought that it was a text from Dave, so I hurriedly looked at it. Anyway, I was never expecting calls and texts from any other person.But I creased my brows when I saw that it was a text from Becky. Wasn't she out of the country?After Dave suspected that the shares that Sofia had acquired were because of the help of Mr. Williams, he tried to approach them.But he learned that the family had secretly relocated abroad. They had not even told Dad a thing.But because of the relationship that Dad had had with them over the years, he had decided to let things

    …On our fifth day on the island, things were still so fun. We spent the whole day exploring and having more fun.However, at night, we were just about to go to bed when I received a call. It was a new contact that I had not seen before.Dave was in the bathroom, so I decided to just pick it up.“Hello,” I said. It was funny that someone called me at such a time.“Mia…” I heard Denny's voice from the other side. And by the look of things, she was crying.“Denny, are you okay?“ I asked worriedly. Dave had told me that after Sofia escaped from the police cell, Denny had also gone missing.“Mia, can you help us, please?" she asked, crying even harder. “We don't have anything.“I was slightly taken aback. Denny was a princess who had been brought up with a silver spoon.“What happened? And who are you with?“ I asked. Was she trying to admit that she was with her mother?“Mia, I will be alone here at one o'clock tomorrow. Can you come over? I am a hidden warehouse along X X road."I sighed

    They laughed at me again. “We are not after money. We know how to be loyal,” one of them said.I sighed in disappointment. “Is it Sofia who asked you to kidnap me?“ I asked. And I could see the look of shock on their faces. It seemed like I had guessed right.“Miss, we are not going to disclose anything about our boss,” one of the men said. “Be obedient until you meet them.“I sighed. I knew that I was never going to convince them to let me go. But I had some hope since I knew that if it was really Sofia who wanted me, it would be easy for Dad and Dave to locate me.After all, once they found out that I was missing, Sofia would be their first suspect.The phone of one of the men rang. And he picked it up immediately. “Boss?“ He said.I perked my eyes so that I could hear the voice of the other person on the phone, but it was to no success. I did not hear a thing.“Yes, we are entering the airport now. We shall be there soon,” the man speaking on the phone said.And I froze in place. A

    "Boss, something bad happened." Fortune began speaking, but he stopped when he saw us.“Um, I think I am blind. I went to the wrong office. I saw nothing,” he said in fear, and the door was shut with a bang.I quickly got up from Dave's lap and looked away in embarrassment. I could never save my face again.What I did not expect was that Dave would also stand up. “Let us continue in the resting room,” he said, trying to pull me to the room connected to the office.But I yanked my hand away from him. “Not now,” I said. How could he still think of doing such a thing?“I am going to kill him!“ Dave cursed angrily. He took his phone and called Fortune. It was too late for me to stop him.“Get in here right now!" He shouted and went back to his seat. I looked at him with a sigh.A few seconds later, Fortune rushed into the office. There was a look of embarrassment on his face. “Boss, I did not see anything,” he hurriedly explained.I felt more embarrassed, and I tried not to look at him. T
