•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 bli

    •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.

    •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

    •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

    •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

    •DARLA•"Are you okay? You don't look too well," Amelia commented during our lunch date. My mind was all over the place. I was thinking about how things were happening between Ethan and I and Elijah. Especially after seeing Elijah at the hotel last night. "Yeah, of course. How are you and the baby?" I looked at her and smiled, trying so hard to give her my undivided attention instead of making all our conversations about me."The baby and I are fine. Are you good? You haven't said much since we got here, and you know that I can tell when something is bothering you." I breathed. "It's Ethan and Elijah. They're driving me crazy and I honestly don't know what to do anymore. What's worse, Ethan has turned out to be this paranoid person that I can't have control over. He's literally going out of his way to prove that he might need help for what he's going through." "What did he do?" "Do you remember when I told you about us trying to have a baby? Well, he recently did a pregnancy test

    •ELIJAH•My mother and I spent all night and morning at the hospital. We were busy pacing around outside the emergency room and were hardly able to rest our eyes.My cell phone rang, and it was Jason. I didn't want to pick up the phone, but I eventually answered it. "Jason." "What's going on, man? I saw the news just a second ago, and it was your car at the accident scene. Are you okay?" He asked, and I sniffled as my heart raced. It was supposed to be me in that car. I could've been the one in the emergency room with so many cuts and wounds that even the doctors wouldn't even know how to operate on me. "It's my sister, Poppy, she's the one who was involved in the car accident. She was with me before she left, and it took me a minute to realize that she had taken my car keys and left. And probably didn't want to use Uber again, and I'm so mad at her for that. She has a lot of explaining to do when she wakes up from her coma." "Oh, man. I'm very sorry. I don't have a lot of work t

    •ABIGAIL•"Did you see the news?" Diego asked me when I found him in the kitchen in the morning. "She could be dead, Abi." I sighed. He just talked too much and didn't know when to stop. He just never wanted to give me some peace of mind without making me feel like I was a huge failure."Yes, Diego. I know. I knew when she left the parking lot with that car that she was going to die. I just want to pretend like I wasn't there when she left to her own death." "She was your friend, wasn't she? She's the one you always told me you wanted to go and see at the house, right?" "Yes, Diego. I get it, okay?!" I snapped. "I killed Poppy, and now I have to live with that guilt for the rest of my life. Trust me, buddy, this is going to haunt me more than when I thought I had killed Harper.""I hope this is not going to lead back to us at some point." I looked at him and shook my head. He was such a weak criminal man, and it made me wonder why I even kept him around when he was such a damn chi

    •ETHAN•"She left me, Chris. She threw me out of her house and told me that our marriage -" I scoffed. "Well, our engagement since our marriage was solely a business contract - she canceled our engagement." "Can you tell me what happened now? You guys have been together for five years, so she wouldn't leave you just like that. There have to be reasons why she left you." "Did you mean to ask what did I do?" I rolled my eyes as I closed the door in my hotel room. My heart was breaking, and I thought that Chris would help me come up with a solution instead of making me feel like I was the problem she left me. "I asked what happened? What triggered her to end things with you after everything that happened between you two? It can't be a coincidence that she could've just left you without any reason." "The reason could be that she fell in love with her children's father. She's been very reluctant to leave Atlanta, and I think that he's the reason. You do remember that I found them in a

    •DARLA•"I think I might know who did this," Elijah replied as he got up from the couch. "I think with this new evidence of him trying to tarnish your name with nonsensical theories, we have a chance to get him in jail.""You know who did this?" I asked as I wiped off my tears. "It's Ethan, of course. Who else would've leaked the information about how you got the Millers Properties Lifestyle? Or how you inherited everything from your father and banned your stepmother and brother from the company? It seems pretty obvious to me." I looked at him and realized how much sense he had made. Yet again, I failed to see Ethan for who he truly is. "Then what now?" "I know how to get him to confess to this and also get him to get this article off the internet. So don't worry, I'll take care of him for you. He will never bother you again." For the first time in forever, I let down my guard and decided to trust Elijah. Even though it was hard for me to admit that I needed his help when I came

    •ABIGAIL•"Don't worry, I'll call you. Yeah -" My heart skipped a beat when I heard Diego on the phone when I walked out of the restroom. We were in New York and had withdrawn the money for our fake passports, which made it weird about who he might be talking to on the phone. He made my mind and heart uneasy because of his constant attention to his cell phone, which wasn't a problem until a few hours ago.'Fuck. He better not be cheating on me,' I groaned as I walked back to the bathroom and went to look at myself in the mirror and reapply my makeup. I sure wasn't going to let Diego use me to get a fake passport and then turn around and want to bring his whore with us. I had to make sure that he didn't even think about stabbing me in the back after all the things that he did with me and to me. When I was done patting myself on the back, I walked out of the restroom and found him waiting for me. He looked a bit agitated. "Is everything okay?" He asked when I walked toward him as

I hung up the call and sat down on my couch. I was in one of my apartments so that I could have my own space and also get my mission accomplished on time.After receiving a file from my private investigator about Ethan's fraud with his former Arab business partners, I realized that it was going to help me get him under my control, and also get him to pay for kidnapping my kids.My cell phone rang, and when I realized that it was Harper, I got up from the couch and answered the call. "Hey, Jason sent me a text that Diego called and told him that you found them. Is Abigail with you?" I asked. "Yes, she's here. We are still keeping her in our hotel room. Jason hasn't called his cop friends, has he?" "No, but they are waiting for something. Abigail has to be captured, and since they had a lead, it h

    •DARLA• "I can't believe that you had sex with Elijah," Amelia commented after I closed the door behind Elijah. I rolled my eyes as I turned around and walked to the living room where the kids were happily playing together. "I don't know what you're talking about. It's so crazy that you think I did such a disgraceful act with Elijah. I'd do that with anything walking around with a dick, but Elijah. My goodness," I answered when we got to the kitchen. "I'm sure you think that you're fooling me right now, but I can literally smell and see a person who just had sex." "Oh, yeah?" I chuckled after pouring myself and her a glass of apple juice. "Your pregnancy does that?" "Yeah, and your shirt is turned over." I gasped as I looked down at my shirt and instantly felt overwhelmed with embarrassment. I was so sure that even the housekeeper and Penelope saw that and knew what I did when Elijah was in the house. "That -" I sighed as I tried to think of an excuse. "I didn't see it

    •ETHAN•"Morning, beautiful." I smiled as I brought Meghan a cup of coffee in bed. She looked so beautiful, and I couldn't believe my luck in bringing her home from the bar after a failed attempt two nights ago. "Fuck," she groaned.She didn't look so impressed when she saw me. She got up from the bed, dressed up, and took her handbag from the floor. "I'm sorry, but I've got to hit the road. I'm sure we had a lot of fun last night, but I'm not the romantic type to do breakfast in bed, talk, or whatever you thought was going to happen." I placed the cup of coffee down on the pedestal counter and turned to her a little disappointed. She didn't seem like someone who only did one-night stands.I was even thinking that maybe she didn't like me as much as I thought she did when she came home with me. "Wait, what's wrong? You were happy when we came home and you seemed interested in me. Did I read all that wrong?" I asked as I leaned toward her. "It's not you, honestly. But I can't do

    •DARLA•"Say it again, Darla. I want you to tell me that you don't love me anymore, but I want you to look me straight in the eye this time when you say it." "What difference will make it, Elijah?" I scoffed. "It won't change the fact that I don't want to be with you anymore. Getting me the cool pink car, jewelry, bags, and shoes is never going to make me forgive you for all the shit that you put me through!" "Are you going to say it?" "Fuck you!" I snapped. "You left and abandoned me when I was pregnant with your kids! How dare you think that you can come back into my life, and I'll just forgive you as if you didn't leave me to be with another woman?! You're a motherfucking cunt, Mr. Houston!""I know that I lied, cheated, and divorced you on claims that Abigail was pregnant! I know that I was an asshole who doesn't deserve sympathy from you, but I love you!" He sighed. "I love you with all my heart, and nothing makes sense to me right now than you." He breathed.

Abigail seems impossible to find." Alec smiled as he came to sit down next to me on the bed. "Don't you trust me anymore? I brought you here with me because I know that we can find her. I know Abigail and how she thinks. Chicago is not big enough for her to hide." "Yeah, and we've been here for a day already. We should be getting somewhere, but it seems like we aren't getting anywhere, Alec. What if she's no longer in Chicago? I don't think that I can stay here any longer chasing pavements!" I snapped and then sighed. "Something's going on with you. What's wrong? You know that you can talk to me about anything." "There's nothing wrong! Stop with your interrogations, Alec, and get me, Abigail!" I snapped again as I stood up from the bed. "I'm starting to feel like you don't want me to find your bitch anymor

    •ELIJAH•"This better be good," I sighed after answering Diego's call in the morning. I was sleeping when he called me at 5 AM. I had a long night and slept quite late because of a research that I was conducting. "I'm with Abigail, Sir. We met last night in Chicago and will be on our way to New York this morning for some cash. I just need a little more time before turning her in." "My sister and her friend are in Chicago searching for her. When you come back from your New York trip, please give me a call. She has to be captured tonight. That's how much time I'm going to give you." "Yes, Sir. That's okay. I'll make sure that she's captured. I just want to make sure that Harper gets back the remaining money that Abigail took from her." I got up from the bed and sighed. "Alright, give me a call when you're back." "Sir?" "Yes?" "Does our deal still stand? You get Abigail and let me go? You promised not to harm me or my family if everything goes your way. Please, I hope nothing wil

    •SONIA•"Hey, Mom. It's me again," I sniffed as I sat down on the carpet floor in the basement. This was where I spent some of my time whenever I needed to feel close to my Mom, even though I didn't really have any memories of her.Before my father had his life devoted to his work, he and I used to have a weekly tradition whereby we would watch videos he took with my Mom before she died. They looked so happy and in love together, which made sense why my father never remarried after her death. She was the love of his life."I know that we barely know each other, but I have no one right now. You're the only person who can listen to me without any judgments, and I really need to vent right now," I sighed. "Was it ever this hard when your parents wanted to get you married to someone else when you were with Dad? Was it this hard because they didn't want you to be with someone who wouldn't be able to take care of you?" I silently cried and wiped my tears before they could reach my cheek
