As Zach drove to the hospital, he kept thinking about who the insider could be. He had already removed Lina as the possible culprit because he didn't think she was smart. If she was, she would not have ended up the way she did, but he still needed to ask her what happened.Barbie was the other suspect. Judging from what he had discovered about Williams and Hailey, he couldn't trust Barbie.Yes, she was Paige's closest friend, but she could also want to harm Paige, the same way Hailey wanted to hurt him. But what could be Barbie's motive?Hailey's motive was because she supposedly had feelings for him, but Barbie wasn't interested in him. He knew that for a fact, as he could always see her eyes all over Williams. So what motive could she possibly have to want to hurt Paige?At this point, he got a call from the police chief and took a detour to the police station to talk to him in person.When he arrived there, the chief said to him, "We are still working on every available information
After the police went to the hospital to question Lina and Barbie, they were both discharged by the doctor.As they both came out of the hospital, Lina took a cab home, while Barbie took a cab back to the hotel where her car was parked.When she arrived at the hotel, she noticed that there were a lot of reporters outside. They swarmed toward her to ask her questions, but she ran away from them and got into her car. She wasn't yet strong enough and was not in the mood to answer any questions. She drove out of the hotel but then she thought about all the questions she had been asked.Who could have taken Paige?Hearing how Zach had said that the balcony's door was open, she remembered it was closed before. The police had told her that someone must have opened the door from the inside. There was enough ventilation in the room, so why would anyone want to do that?She began to wonder if it was Lina. She didn't like the idea of accusing someone who was innocent, so she didn't want to point
Hailey rested Zach on the couch in the living room. She sat beside him, caressing his face as she said, "You have no idea how much effort I put into getting you here, Zach. If you did, you'd appreciate my efforts."Zach, who was feeling extremely weak all over his body, struggled to open his eyes with great difficulty.Hailey got up and said, "Now, you're going to be all mine." She removed his cufflinks and folded his shirt. Afterward, she went into the guest room where she had been hiding and came out with an injection. She went to the couch and sat beside Zach. Just as she inserted the injection into Zach's arm, he forcefully opened his eyes and cried out.With all the strength he could muster, he pulled the injection out of his arm.Afterward, he poured out the contents of the injection on the ground. Hailey struggled with the injection with him. He didn't want to let go of it, but because he was too weak, she succeeded in pulling it out of his hand. However, when she looked at t
Barbie remained by Zach's side, waiting for him to wake up when it was time. However, she soon began to fear that something was going to go wrong.She decided to call Paige's dad and tell him about it since she didn't know who else she could trust.Melvin was shocked when he heard what Hailey had done to Zach. At this time, he and Vanessa were preparing to go to the prison to see Lillian. But then, when he heard from Barbie, he told Vanessa, "No, Lillian is not the one who took our daughter.""If she's not the one, then who could it be?""Whoever it is is connected to Hailey."Melvin relayed everything Barbie had told him to Vanessa, and she said, "Then why haven't we gotten her arrested? What are we waiting for?""Hold on, I'll do that right away," Melvin replied.He informed the police about what had happened, and also, the pictures and videos of Zach's unconscious began to flood the internet.The police chief sent out officers to search for Hailey around Zach's house to see if she
Barbie stared at Zach and nodded, "I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you the truth ever since. Mr. Zach, Williams has always been in love with Paige, at least that's what I learned from the moment I met him. He asked me to help separate both of you, but I couldn't do it, so he began to make schemes of his own.""And what were these schemes?" Zach asked.Barbie began to explain everything from the beginning while Zach stared at her in disbelief.After Barbie narrated everything to Zach, he asked, "Did you know that Williams was going to take Paige on our wedding day?"Barbie shook her head, "No. I promise you, I had no idea. I never would have supported him; I could never do that to Paige. Mr. Zach, if I knew, I wouldn't have brought you here. Do you remember that night while we were in NYC, I walked up to your room and told you I needed to tell you something? I was about to tell you the truth, but then Williams came and my courage faltered. I had overheard his conversation, and that'
Williams turned and whispered to Paige, "Go in and wait for me, okay?" She nodded. "Okay," and quickly, ran inside."As Paige turned and began running into the house, Zach wanted to go after her, but suddenly, men came out from different angles of the compound and surrounded him. He counted them; there were more than twenty. They all moved from behind Zach and stood behind Williams."I was expecting that you would try to act funny," William said. "Okay, Zach, there's no need to pretend anymore. Paige is no longer here, so I'll come clean. Yes, I love Paige. I never planned for it to happen. I never even thought I would fall in love but I did. That very day when I learned she was going to be attacked, I did everything I could to save her because I considered you my brother. But then, after I took care of her and changed her clothes, something within me was ignited. Ever since then, I fell for her. I tried to fight it, Zach. I did everything I could to get Paige off my mind, but I c
TWENTY-EIGHT HOURS AGOWilliams, who arrived back in London the night before Zach and Paige's wedding day, picked up his phone and made a call to someone, saying, "Hope everything is set? I'm back in the city. Okay, I'll let you know once it's time."After the call ended, he called Lina."How are you preparing for everything?" he asked."Everything is going well," Lina replied after looking around to ensure that no one was listening to her conversation. "I successfully had Paige include me among her train girls just like you requested since she wants Barbie to be her maid of honor.""Good," Williams replied. "Now listen, knowing Zach, there'll be security in the hotel. But I have a few men working with me to take care of that. I'll be coming from outside and, um... I already know the room where Paige will be lodging. This is what will happen: the balcony doors are always locked, so, except Paige opens it, it will be difficult to access it.I'll be outside the hotel an hour before the
Williams stayed outside, looking at the news on his iPad. He saw how desperately Zach was searching for Paige and also the fact that he had put a price on her head to appreciate whoever found her."Well, it's a good thing we are far away from you; you'll never find us, Zach," Williams said, "but even if you do, I will be ready for you."He made a few calls and ordered for some men to be brought to his island so they could protect him just in case Zach showed up.Afterward, he went back into the house, went to a different room, changed his outfit, put on some nice perfume, and went to the bedroom to meet Paige, who was sitting on the bed. She was anxious and uncomfortable because she couldn't remember anything.When he came into the room, he smiled at her and said, "Hey, how are you doing?"She nodded, "I'm fine.""Why do you seem so troubled? Are you okay?" Williams asked."As I said, I'm fine," Paige replied, "I just feel a little uncomfortable because I don't remember...""Shh... i
