Shana called Halsey and asked him whether he want to come to Las Vegas with her.

"Why are you going there?"

"To party! I am so stressed so I want to release some stress by partying! I heard Las Vegas is known to be a party city" exclaimed Shana excitedly.

"You're not going to take me to the party with you are you?"

"Of course I am! I have never gone to a party before. I need a break from everything. I promise that I will take good care of you."

Halsey sighed. " Fine, Shana. As much as I hate parties I'll come. "

"Great!"

After hanging up, Shana started to prepare for Las Vegas. She packed her bags with all her clothes and personal items she owned. Once she is done packing, she took one last glance in the mirror. Shana like what she's wearing now. She wore her black pantsuit with her black boots, which came close to a short dress. She put the jewelry she was wearing on and put some simple makeup on her face. When she was done, she took her purse and phone and left her home.

While driving to the airport, Shana wondered how she'll manage to spend the night in a club. She didn't want to go out alone. She needs Halsey by her side. Halsey was a guy and she didn't want to be alone with a stranger in a crowded place. She was afraid they wouldn't like her and they might take advantage of her. Halsey must be thinking the same thing. That is why Halsey agreed to go with her.

"Finally we are arrived" Both of them have arrived in Las Vegas and they go straight to their hotel and check into their rooms without saying anything to each other. After checking in, they headed to the club and Shana ordered some drinks for them.

"I need a drink to clear my head."

"Do you wanna share what is bothering you, baby girl?" asked Halsey with concern.

Shana sighs heavily. "I don't want to talk about it...I just want to have fun tonight." Said Shana with a smile.

"Okay... If you say so. I will try and distract you for a little while." Said Halsey.

Both friends spent the rest of the night dancing and enjoying themselves. Shana didn't notice Dennis standing right behind her.

"You have nice hips baby" whispered Dennis to Shana.

"Dennis?" Shana turned around startled.

"Jesus fucking Christ!" screamed Shana.

"I'm sorry baby girl I didn't mean to scare you." Said Dennis trying to look apologetic but Shana doesn't believe him.

"You were following me!"

"That's true..but in your dream" teased Dennis.

"Dream? You mean your nightmares." Shana corrected Dennis.

Dennis rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say."

Before anything else is going to happen Shana noticed something familiar in Dennis. It was the smell he always carried around. Shana remembered he smells like coconut water. She couldn't help but inhale the scent.

"I see we have a lot of things in common. We both love Coconut's scent." Said Dennis while pointing out to his chest.

" Coconut perfume"

She looks at Dennis in disbelief.

Dennis laughed at her reaction.

"Yeah, coconut. The sweetest smell. Now get away from me before you start breathing it in too." Dennis shooed Shana away.

Shana rolls her eyes " Whatever. I don't give a shit about you", Shana walked away and headed towards the bar. She ordered Sex in the beach. She drank heavily that night and so did Halsey. Halsey was drooping on the bar table unconscious. On the other hand, Dennis was also heavily drunk.

Somehow Dennis got this crazy idea, he proposed to Shana that night and they get married that night as well. Shana agreed to her invitation because she felt pressured by the people at the club. Without the two people knowing, their actions that night will change their lives 360 degrees. That night they both headed to the Elvis wedding chapel. In less than 30 minutes they were legally married and a crazy idea came up again from Dennis who suggested that they should both sign a contract where they should remain married and live in the same house for at least 3 months. If any party breaks the promise they will be subject to severe action that allows them to lose everything.

Shana woke up in her hotel room. She didn't know how she go back to her hotel yesterday. She realized there is something wrong and she spotted a ring in her hand.

"What is this? Who gave me this? asked her to herself. Then she saw a piece of paper on her right finger. Shana reads the contents of the letter and is very shocked by what happened. He called Dennis and asked to see Dennis right now.

"Okay, I'll be there in 5 minutes"

Shana didn't like sitting around waiting for Dennis. She couldn't believe what was happening. This must be a prank that Dennis made for her. She knew very well that Dennis wanted to see him suffer.

The minute Dennis entered the room, Shana burst out,

"This is a prank. Is it? You are messing with my mind?" She pointed at the ring in her hand.

"I'm about to ask the same thing. What do you do to me yesterday? You intentionally framed me right? ", She snapped at Shana. Shana was shocked that he accused Shana of doing this kind of thing.

"Why did I want to frame you to married with me?" glared Shana.

"This is not valid, right? We can still cancel anything, right?" Shana hopes a miracle will happen.

" No. This is Valid. We even have our certificate of marriage and I already asked my lawyer if there is anything we can do to escape from waiting for 3 months to pass why. " Dennis answered in a defeated tone. Shana's world seemed to collapse. Everything seemed to be destroyed in the blink of an eye. He doesn't believe in what happened.

"What should I tell my parents about this? Huh, Dennis?" tears were already beginning to flow down her cheeks.

"I'm the one who should ask you. What should I tell Bethany about all this? You intentionally wanted to destroy this relationship from the very beginning. What do you want from me?" Dennis snapped, venting his anger on Shana.

"I don't know, I don't know anymore!". cried Shana in response.

"We shouldn't stay here. Let's go home right now". Snapped Dennis.

Shana just nodded because she can't effort to lose everything.

A few hours later, they finally reached Dennis' mansion. They went inside and walked into the kitchen. The mansion itself isn't a big one, but it had many rooms. They went upstairs to the second floor and walked past every door until they reach Dennis' bedroom. It looked empty except for some pictures hanging on the wall. It wasn't decorated in the same way as the living room where the picture was hanging. There were no flowers, paintings, or anything of the sort. Even the room was empty except for the bed and some other stuff that belong to Dennis.

"This is my room, not yours. There are 9 other rooms in this house. You can pick whatever you want." Said Dennis, looking at Shana and then walking towards his bathroom to clean up.

After Dennis was finished cleaning himself up, he grabbed the keys to his car and leave. Shana was feeling very sad. She decided to call Halsey.

"Hey girl"

"Hi, Halsey...Can we meet tomorrow?" Asked Shana.

"Of course, we can. I'm sorry for not doing my job well. I'm ashamed to meet your parents." Halsey replied in a disappointed tone.

"It's okay. Dad and mom also understand. They understand how stubborn a person named Shana is" laughed Shana at the end of the line.

Now Shana has to adjust herself to her new life, which is to be the wife of the famous actor, Dennis Seo. All of this will come with its challenges that she has to overcome. And maybe a little bit more stress than expected. She needs Halsey.

"Listen, I am gonna unpack now. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Said Shana.

"Same to you. Take care".

Halsey ended the call. She looked around the beautiful house and realized she hasn't explored all of it yet. She decides to take a tour of her new home. So she takes off all of her clothes and starts exploring the house. She explores all of the rooms and places that Dennis owns. When she's done, she returns to the kitchen and drinking and eats some chocolates.

"This is not your house. You can't eat anything you want. If you want, buy it yourself" frowns Dennis to her. Shana was startled as she did not expect Dennis to come home anytime soon.

"Sorry" That's all Shana can say.

They stood awkwardly staring at each other until Shana broke the silence and spoke.

"So are you gonna show me everything?"

"Nope. Go do that on your own."

Shana sighed "Fine".

Dennis turns back to focus his attention back on his phone. Shana walks back to her room. She sits on the bed and stares at the ring in her hand and sighs. This can't be real. How is this possible? Shana never imagined she could be married in such a short time. She feels overwhelmed and confused at the moment. She lays on top of the bed, closes her eyes, and goes to sleep.

    When Shana wakes up the next morning she finds that her head hurt like hell. She slowly sat up from her bed groaning in pain. Her whole body aches. She tried to remember anything that happened last night. It was dark and then suddenly she hears a scream and someone ran away from the room screaming. But when she woke up she was alone in the bedroom. She had a nightmare that night. That's when she noticed a note was taped above her head. She read the words written on it in fancy handwriting."We have shot at 8 am. Make sure to be there on time or something will happen later," said Dennis. She quickly took a quick shower, packed her stuff, and left the house.*******************************************Meanwhile, Dennis was having breakfast with the rest of the gang while eating toast with jam on top. "How it's with you and Bethany?" asked Euntae."Not bad. She just keeps calling me 'doll' and wants to be cuddle buddies with me" joked Dennis."Yeah yeah. We already heard the story yest

    Dennis was sitting in his car, deep in his thoughts. His mind kept drifting back to Shana. He was confused about his feeling toward her and what should he do about it.

    The sun was shining brightly when Shana opened her eyes the following morning, and she noticed that she hadn't moved in the last few hours. After looking at the clock and seeing how late it was, she got out of bed. She walked over to the washroom and got washed before heading downstairs to start her day. She walked towards the kitchen where she noticed Dennis and Bethany having their breakfast. She sat down across from them and started eating her breakfast. She didn't say much as she wasn't hungry."How dare you show your face this morning. Honey, let's go out. I lost my appetite looking at this bitch's face. " "Enough Bethany! Enough!" Dennis scolded Bethany. "What is wrong with you?" "You. You're the one who spoiled my mood in the morning" "But .. Baby .." Before Bethany could finish her words, Dennis had already passed by.

    Dennis was dressed casually in black jeans and a turtleneck. A pair of brown leather boots hugged his muscular legs."Are you okay?" Whispered Dennis. The panic written all over Shana's face gave Dennis the answer that he needed."They kidnapped you", stated Dennis while taking off his jacket. Then, he proceeded to untie Shana from the chair and pulled her on his lap."It's okay Shana. I'll protect you. It's alright", said Dennis while caressing Shana's cheek tenderly. Shana leaned into his hands instinctively."Thank you", whispered Shana with tears in her eyes. Dennis wiped her tears away gently and brought her forehead to his. His thumbs caressed Shana's cheeks soothingly while pressing his lips against hers briefly."I don't want to see you get hurt. Please let me save you Shana", whispered Dennis before pulling her in for another kiss. Their kiss didn't last long as the sound of running footsteps echoed in the hallway which caused the two of them to pull away slightly, panting he

    "Open your fucking eyes" Shouted Dennis.Shana was dying, and they were out of time. They needed to get her to the hospital as soon as possible. But she was unconscious and bleeding profusely. Dennis stripped off his shirt and wrapped it around her wound. His in-laws wrapped his jacket around his naked daughter. Dennis then lifted her body with all his strength. Dennis wrapped his arm around his neck. He walked over to the car and pushed her into the passenger seat.Speeding to the hospital and getting tickets was the furthest thing from his mind right now. He picked her up again when they arrived."Please help! My wife is d-dying!" Dennis was crying at this point.Dennis watched as they put her body on the bed and hurriedly got her to one of the rooms there. After a few hours of waiting,"Sir, I'm happy to tell you that your wife survived." It felt like hundreds of pounds were lifted off his shoulders. "c-can I see him?"

    Dennis watched as his wife, Shana sat down beside the water fountain with a bottle of grapefruit juice and some water in hand. His heart swelled with admiration every time he saw her like this: her hair was messy with tangles and knots. Shana noticed Dennis and gave him a small wave with the cup of grapefruit juice in her hand. Dennis quickly walked over to her and sat on the edge of the fountain next to her. He took the cup from her hand and drank down all the contents of the orange juice bottle. It still hasn't been fully cooled yet. Dennis handed the half-empty juice bottle back to Shana and looked down at his feet. They both fell quiet and stared silently at the marble tiles in front of them. A minute later Shana spoke. "Did you get the food?" she asked, a hint of humor laced in her tone. Dennis smirked slightly. "Yeah, I got everything I asked for." He chuckled a little. They both smiled at each other. Then suddenly, Dennis started laughing lightly, followed shortly by Shana.

    He followed the doctors to a room across the hall. They entered the room and closed the door behind them.They waited until a nurse walked in with a clipboard to take their names and ask them about their injuries. "Sir, your wife is stable. We gave her some sedatives to help her with the seizures. She is still unconscious at the moment but the doctor said that we should monitor her to see when she wakes up. We also brought some blankets so she won't get cold when she wakes up" replied the Nurse.It was a few hours before Shana regained consciousness. The first thing she noticed when she woke up was that her throat was parched. She rubbed her dry lips and blinked multiple times trying to clear away the sleepiness.

She smiled and looked away from Dennis who was leaning against the door.She turned her head towards Detective Martinez and sat up straight on

Said, Dennis.They drove over to Erik's house and parked in front of the house next door. Dennis and Detective Martinez climbed out of the car and headed for Erik's side of the car. Dennis knocked on the door and waited for a response. After some time Erik came to open the door, dressed in nothing but boxer shorts. He had an unbuttoned shirt hanging loose on his chest and they all walked inside the house. "Come in detective Martinez and Sir. How can I help you." Erik pretends not to know Dennis."Hello Erik, I'm glad to see you're awake and well, although I would not consider it to be a 'well'."Erik chuckled at Detective Martinez's remark and invited them inside the living room and offered them both to sit down."How is it going detective?"

    " Good evening Detective Martinez, please take a seat," said Halsey.Martinez sat down and Halsey gave a USB drive to Martinez to look at." Look here Detective Martinez," said Halsey.Martinez opened the USB drive and looked through it, looking over each document that Halsey showed. Finally, Martinez closes it." So, how did you find all this evidence?" He asked Halsey." By asking questions of the nurses and doctors at different hospitals. I told them to check which hospital they saw Erik's presence at."" Why did you do that?"" Because I think that Shana may have been kidnapped to get revenge"" I agree with you, Hal. But you know that Erik isn't a man to play games. And even when Erik takes her somewhere, he would never leave a trace behind"" But we cannot know for sure if he is capable of doing something like this. And I also want to tell you that he knows how to use his skills well. We don't know if this is a kidnapping. So we need to

    " I'm afraid it was the same, Lisa. " Said, Dennis." Ok, now we should search for Erik. Search where he is now. And Dennis, where is Bethany now? She might be involved in this case. "" I don't know her whereabouts. After she miscarried, she said she wanted to find peace. From that day on, I could not contact him again. "" What hospital did she attend? " Detective Martinez asked Dennis." Hospital Yoo"" Billie and Lewis you go to hospital Yoo and asked about Bethany.

Let's try to find out if Erik was seen at the hospital when Shana disappeared" Halsey said and left the interrogation room following Billie.After about two hours of searching, they still didn't have any information about the case."So, I guess we wait until Billie finds out something new." Halsey sighed.A few moments later Billie returned saying that he had gotten some information."Well?" Asked Halsey." I just talked to the nurse

    After spending almost half an hour looking around, they still didn’t find Shana. It seemed like they never would. Agent Lewis was getting more and more frustrated with the lack of results in finding the missing girls. The only thing keeping him calm was that Detective Halsey and Agent Billie were still on top of the investigation.They decided to move on from the neighborhood area and search the other areas. So after leaving Detective Martinez to keep watch for anyone suspicious, the team split up and moved into different streets surrounding the location. Some went south while others went north. It was almost midnight when they met at an intersection."Find anything interesting?" asked Halsey as he noticed Agent Billie running towards them."Nothing so far. I've tried to get an eye on every car driving past here. There's nobody suspicious or unknown in sight."Halsey and Agent Billie looked around and noticed there were several cars parked on the street in front of the house belonging

If anything comes out, I need to know about it as fast as possible. Call me when you know something""Yes sir," the men said."Good, now go. You've done enough work today and you should go home. Take care of yourself"" Thank you, sir"Halsey hung up the call. He sighed deeply then sat in his office and leaned over his desk. He stared blankly at his hands that were resting on the desk. His mind is in turmoil. All those times when they had problems, he never imagined that it would happen again. Why? Because of Shana, no doubt. Shana was always there for him. Whenever he was troubled, she'd be there beside him. He remembered one particular incident. 20 years ago, he and Shana met. he wanted to take pictures of the mountains for inspiration while on her summer brea

He should not have left Shana alone that night.Dennis sighed, "I'm sorry, Shana."He was at a loss for what to do. Dennis decided to consult Halsey first."Hello, Halsey. Shana called earlier" " Shana called? What did she say? Where is she now? Is she safe?" Halsey bombarded him with questions."But the call was cut off before I could say hello," Dennis said, his voice sad. "What should I do?" he continued. "Have you tried calling back?"" Yes. But it appears that her phone has been turned off."Has she been apprehended by her kidnappers again?"

    After 5 minutes of tying the clothes, the length of the clothes has reached the ground. Shana went down without hesitation, using the clothes she had just tied into a rope. Shana has reached the bottom in less than a minute. Shana not only made it to the bottom, but she also climbed out of the way. Shana was perplexed by the location once she arrived at the road. She'd never been in that neighborhood before. Shana chose to walk straight until her cell phone received a signal line. Shana noticed a gas station not far from where she was standing after walking for an hour. Shana kept walking quickly to the station and entered the gas station shop.
