"What happened back there?" Amelia asked when we got inside her apartment. "I actually didn't think that he would try to talk with you while he was with Abigail. I'm sure she was pissed as hell when she saw him running after you."

I sighed as I took off my shoes, sat down on the couch, and exhaled.

"Did he say something to you to offend you?" She asked, seeing that I was a bit distracted.

"No, it doesn't matter. I'm just tired and mad that I didn't get my food."

"That's not all, Dee, and you know it." She sat down next to me and placed her hand on my thigh. "I'm your friend. You can talk to me about anything, and you know that."

"He didn't say anything to me."

"Are you sure? You've been quiet all the way home, and I was certain that he said something that took you back to the years when you were together."

"Nothing. Besides, I'm with Ethan now. I would be a fool if I'd say that seeing Elijah had any impact on how I feel about him because it doesn't." I smiled at her. "Let

    •ELIJAH•"We have arranged your marriage with Benjamin Miller's daughter, Darla. She's a good girl with a good figure and will be able to bear us heirs." "You arranged my marriage to who?" I scolded. Fuck, if I wanted a wife, I was very much capable of getting myself one. "Do you remember that property project that we were discussing while you were in Austria? We decided to be partners with them and to seal our deal, you're going to have to marry their daughter to ensure that all the wealth that will be generated from the project once we are gone, will still run in our families." I scoffed as I shook my head in disbelief. I knew that my mother was capable of doing the most outrageous surprises, but this one surpassed them all, and I was shocked. "She's educated and was able to obtain her degree in communication. She will be an important asset when you attend business trips with her." "Do you mean to tell me that I went to Austria to complete my PhD in Business Studi

    •ABIGAIL•"I demand an answer now!" I roared as the car pulled up outside the gate. "Get your ass out of my car right now, Abigail. I will not repeat myself for the third time before you could be able to register this through your thick skull that I need some time alone from you." "I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going to allow you to treat me like trash all because of her!" I snapped as I pointed my finger at him. "You're going to send her away, or I'll make life difficult for the both of you." "After tonight, I don't think I'll ever be surprised if you do something nonsensical. But if you ever think of causing trouble for Darla, just know that I won't fold my arms and watch you do as you please." "Is that a threat?" I scoffed. "You can take it however you want, but I dare you to go near her so that you will see what I am capable of." "I don't take threats lightly, but you're going to regret this." I snarled. "The drums that you and Darla are trying to play will be the music th

    •ELIJAH•"Georgia, do you think you can find the best florist in town and have them deliver flowers to the address that I will send you?" I asked, my heart racing because I didn't know how she was going to react when she came for the meeting the following day. She was married, but who cared? I had to do everything in my power to at least get her to forgive me for how things turned out five years ago. "I think I can get one in town, Sir." She nodded as she sat down on the chair across my table."Thank you, I would appreciate that." I flashed her a quick smile before I gave her the document that she wanted me to sign. "Before I forget, I want you to call the bank and tell them to freeze the credit card that I allocated to Abigail Hayes. When you're done with that, please inform the security team to be on the lookout and not let her inside the building." "Yes, Sir," Georgia replied as she took notes on her notepad before she handed me the schedule for the day and left my office. At

    •ETHAN•"Will, how's your sister? Is she getting better? Did Penelope call our doctor? Please give her the phone."I worriedly closed my laptop and looked at Darla pacing up and down while on the phone when it turned out that Madison wasn't having a common flu. "Please call Dr. Willow to check up on her. I will take the first flight to California in the morning. Yes. Please tell her that Mommy is on her way, Penelope. Alright, thank you. I'll call again later to check if her fever has gone down." After hanging up the call, Darla turned to me with glassy eyes, and I swiftly got up from the chair and went to embrace her.I knew how worried she was whenever one of the twins fell ill when we were away from home."I'm so far away from her, I don't even know what to do." She sighed as she wrapped her arms around me. "We are going to California tomorrow. It will be okay. She will be fine. I'm sure the fever will go down now that she has heard your voice.""Are you sure you can come with m

    •DARLA•"Go back to your rooms," I told the twins as I walked up the stairs to my bedroom. Just as I was about to close the door and go and have a long shower, my cell phone rang in my handbag. "Amee, hey." I answered the call as I sat down on the edge of the bed. "Hey, when did you leave?" She asked. "Oh, we left this morning. I'm sorry, it was urgent. Madison was sick, or so we thought she was." I rolled my eyes, just thinking of how the twins and Penelope tricked us into coming to California for some silly game. "Oh, my God, is she okay?" "She was never sick. I'm angry at them right now. Can you believe that they conspired into getting Ethan and I back so that they could play matchmaking on us?"Amelia laughed. "Aww... They don't know that you guys are together already? How did they react when you told them that you and Ethan are dating?" I scratched my head and sighed. "I didn't want to tell them that. They grew up knowing that Ethan is my good friend and their uncle, and I

    •ELIJAH•"Elijah, you came!" My mother squealed with joy with her arms wide open as she walked toward me. "Mom, hi." I greeted her as I hugged her for a moment before pulling away and walking to the living room with her.I wanted to deal with whatever she called me for and then find out after that why Darla didn't come to work or call me regarding the flowers and box of chocolates that she received. I expected Ethan to be the one to retaliate about the flowers, but he also didn't show up at the last conference meeting. "What's going on, Mother? Is Harper back from Manchester?" I asked as I sat down on the couch opposite her. "Is it bad for a mother to call her son just to see him again?""I was with you like yesterday." "Come on, I have only one son, and if I want to see you, then I will see you. So, tell me, have you resolved the issue with Abigail?" The whole setup with my mother calling me on a Monday evening to see me seemed suspicious. There were not only two glasses of ha

    •DARLA• "What's going on?" "I'm going to Atlanta. My father was admitted to the hospital due to kidney failure." I answered, packing the twins' bags. "You're going with the kids?" "Yes. My father might as well see them now." "Can I come with you?" Ethan asked as he walked inside the twins' room. I sighed after packing the last bag and putting it down. He and I were not good, and I didn't want to complicate things even more when my father accidentally addressed him as my husband in front of the kids. "We'll be okay, don't worry yourself." I walked past him, heading for the door when he said something that stopped me right where I was. "You're still angry at me, aren't you? Trust me, I get it, Darla. I fucked up and thought that things were just going to work themselves out between us and forgot that I failed to deal with Rachel the right way. If I was able to set boundaries with her from the beginning, she wouldn't have come back to disturb our peace." "But you didn't d

    •ELIJAH•"Jason, can I call you back later? There's someone at the door." "Alright. When you get time, you can text me the location, and we will see what we'll do. We have to get this done before the month's end." "That's right. I'll call you." I hung up the call when I got to the front door and opened it. When I saw Abigail, I wished to punch myself in the balls."Abigail?" "Hey baby, can I come inside?" Before I could answer her, she shoved her way inside the house, and I was forced to let her be and close the door behind me. "Baby, I'm sorry about last night. I was angry, and I overreacted," she said when I turned to her. "I shouldn't have gone to your mother's house and insulted her. Please tell me that we can still fix this. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." I rolled my eyes and scoffed as I walked to the bar to get myself something to drink before preparing to go and see Jason. "You shouldn't be here, Abi.

    •ELIJAH•"I think we should get Mom the Italian food that she loves. It would really mean a lot to her. Especially now." I said on the phone to Poppy. "Okay. Send me your location. I'll just request an Uber to get me there, and we will drive back home together." "You're not home?" I asked as I hopped out of my car, locked it, and headed to the hotel's restaurant. The whole idea of going there was to get my Mom something. Even though we had a lot of hiccups together, she was still my mother, and being there for her was important to me more than anything."I went out. I just needed some air. And Elijah," she paused and sighed. "Yes?" "I'm sorry about our fight. I didn't mean to upset you that day. I was just trying to help you and Abigail to be happy again. I really loved her for you, but if that upset you, I'm very sorry." I was surprised by her apology because everyone at home knew that she didn't apologize for anything. She had always been the nonchalant one, which is why I n

    •ABIGAIL•Scolding, I walked out of the bathroom, slammed the door behind me, put on my clothes, and left his bedroom.When I got downstairs in the living room, Poppy was waiting for me. She had a smirk on her face while her hands were folded on her chest. "Did we get lucky?" She wiggled her eyebrows, clearly implying something else. "No, Poppy. Your brother is no longer in love with me. After everything that I've given him, the years we've been together, he's in love with Darla. He wants Darla, and not me." My voice broke as she leaned closer and wrapped her arms around me. "Oh, Abi. I'm so sorry," she comforted me. "You just have to give him time. He will turn around and realize that he will be making a mistake by leaving you." "I can't wait for him to see that, Poppy. Not when he has told me that he loves her, and not me. I can't force him to fall in love with me again. I can't." "But you can wait for him. You can give him time, I mean. He can't leave you, he won't." I leaned

    •ABIGAIL•"So what's the plan now? Are we going to stop looking for Harper and keep her from getting us in trouble? I don't want her to ambush us at the last minute and put all our work in vain." I looked at Diego and sighed. He just knew how to stress me when all I wanted was to ignore my problems and pretend that they didn't even exist. "What do you want us to do? I can't waste my time looking for her. We are going back to Atlanta, and I'm going to get back what she took from me. That's the plan.""She's alive, Abigail. Doesn't that scare you? If she shows up and tells everyone what we did to her, you won't even get a chance to get whatever she stole from you. Do you realize that, or you just don't care?" "She won't tell anyone anything, Diego. You have to relax your mind and trust me. I've known her for years, and after what I did to her, she knows better than to mess with me again." "She might just get us in trouble, and I don't want to go to jail. Not because of you." I glan

    •DARLA•"Hello?" I yawned. "Darla, it's Anna." She sobbed on the phone, causing me to sit up on the bed. "I'm in the hospital with Charlotte. She was admitted from a headache, and the doctor said they found a tumor in her brain, and now they have to operate on her." "What? Did they tell you when they're going to operate on her?" I asked as I got up from the bed. "They're doing that right now. I called you because -" She paused and cried. "- because I don't have the money to pay for the hospital bill. I don't know what to do or who to ask for help. Please, is there anything you can do for her?" "Of course, Anna. Please send me your location and I'll be there as soon as I can." "Thank you, Darla. I don't know what I could've done without you. I'll see you soon." I hung up the call and quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower. When I was done, I went to the kids' room and found them with Ethan, dressing them up after their baths. "I have to go and see my aunt in the hospital.

    •HARPER•I took labored breaths as I tried to get off the rope from my wrists. Every twist and turn felt like thorns in my hands, but I couldn't stop when I heard the sounds of hyenas nearby. I was dripping with blood, so I was sure that the scent of it would draw them closer, and they'd get tempted to eat me. My voice was already dry and hoarse from screaming all day for help. Even on the verge of death, I hoped that my soul wouldn't give up the fight in the middle of nowhere. "Help..." I muttered under my breath when I heard a car outside the building. I wasn't sure if it was Abigail or not, but if it wasn't her, I had to take my chances and find help. If I was meant to die, then I was better off dying where my mother would find me rather than going on for years and not knowing what even happened to me. "Help!" I screamed when the car stopped, and footsteps were getting closer to where I was. But after exhausting my last strength, someone walked in with a torch and blinded me

    •ELIJAH•'Fuck,' I muttered under my breath as I inspected my swelled eye in the bathroom.That motherfucker punched me right in the eye and it was just starting to hurt. I quickly looked for first aid in the bathroom cabinet so that I could treat it myself. I took antihistamine eye drops to reduce the discomfort and then went back to my bed to lie down just a bit. I hoped that the swelling would be a bit reduced in the morning since I had to go to my office.I was about to fall asleep when my cell rang next to me, and I quickly picked it up when I saw that it was Billy. "Yes?" I answered the call as I sat up on the bed."The hand is not real. It doesn't belong to Miss Harper or anyone. Just a mannequin hand with realistic makeup. I don't even think that Abigail knew that." I stood up to my feet and was flabbergasted. Harper was alive, and that meant that someone else took her. Either to save her since Abigail had left her to die or was going to ask for ransom before they could b

    •DARLA•"Am I interrupting something?" Ethan asked as he walked inside the cabin restaurant, and I froze in my steps for a moment. I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say. I wondered for a second how he even found me and came at the moment when I couldn't even make up a lie for what he saw. "Ethan, hey." Elijah greeted him and extended his hand for a handshake. But he just looked at it and walked toward me.He looked pissed and I had no idea what he would do when he looked like that. "You said Amelia called and asked for you to come over to her place because her man was giving her some trouble. So, where is she?" He asked as he looked down at me. "Ethan, this is not what you think. I can explain. You don't have to be irrational," I answered as I tried to grab his hand, but he wouldn't take it. "Irrational?!" He snapped. "Bitch, I'm not the one lying so that I can go and see my ex behind your back! You left the kids with me just so that you can come here and dine with him,

    •ABIGAIL•"Hey, where are you? I went to your place just a while ago and couldn't find you." Kathrine asked on the phone when I arrived at my hotel suite with Diego. "I just went for a short vacation. Is everything okay?" I asked as I changed into comfortable clothing. I didn't want to tell my sister that I was in Detroit to sort out my problem with Harper because she was obviously going to tell me that she told me so. "Jason came here to my bar asking for you. I didn't know what to say to him. Is there anything I need to know, Abi? You know that I'm your sister and can help you with anything. I just hate that someone from the police is busy going around asking about you.""Did he tell you what he wanted with me?" I sighed as I leaned against the dressing table. "He didn't say anything, but I'm sure we both know what he wanted. Elijah could be the one who sent him. I hope you made sure that nothing could lead to you. They can't ever find Harper's body." "I know, Kat." I groaned a

    •ELIJAH•"Sir?" "Yes, Billy?" "I think I found her." "You did? Where is she? Is she okay?" I was so happy when he told me that he had found her. "I found a body." "What?" "I found a hand. I think it belongs to Miss Harper. Abigail and her bodyguard just left, and I decided to inspect the place. I think they left her here after they killed her. I'm not sure if it's her hand, but I'll take whatever I can get and do DNA tests." My whole world shattered, and I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how I was going to tell my Mom the news. They were going to break her apart. But since Billy wasn't even sure that the hand belonged to Harper, I was going to wait until DNA tests proved otherwise. I hung up the call and turned to Darla at the bench. I didn't want to leave her just yet, but it seemed like I didn't have a choice. "Seems like I have to be on my way home now." She got up from the bench and looked at me. "It's alright, I hope they will find your sister." "I think they'v
