"No! Joe! I'm with his child don't do this." I shout at the top of my lungs as he pulls the trigger. At the exact moment Jake jumps in and pushes Joe away making the bullet hit the wall behind the bed. My heart stops the exact moment I hear the gun shot, it was like someone was trying to pull the life out of my body. Tears start to fall on their own when I realize that Daniel is still on the floor all crouched up. I start to pull on the rope as hard as I can to rip the ties off my wrists. Seeing him like that makes me feel so helpless, I have never felt this helpless. Jake glares at Joe as if he is warning him to not do this again, he walks up to me and starts opening the rope ties. When he was done I jump off the bed and sit by Daniel and hug him.

His whole body is shivering, when he feels my touch he flinches and tries to get away from me. But I tighten my arms around his bo

    Jake took me to a hospital, which was nearby to get me checked, while waiting in the waiting room for my turn to come I realized that if I’m not pregnant they might turn Daniel against me. They will brainwash him with lies, then what will happen to me? I will have no support; I will become all alone once again. Putting my hand against my belly I sigh, just this once be real. I want you to be real; please don’t let me become a liar in his eyes. Only if he was normal he would know that I didn’t lie to him or use him to get out of there. Just like me, he needs to get the hell out of there as well.“You know what will happen to you if they find out you’re lying about being pregnant?” Jake says, who is sitting right next to me, has his eyes closed and his head leaned on the wall. “Like I said before, I’m not lying. I myself didn’t know whether I will be pregnant or not. I guessed it due to all the symptoms I was having.” I once again give m

    I took a cab to the nearby police station to file a report against her and her gang, that kidnaps people and made a person go crazy, due to their torture. The officials were kind enough to hear me out and write in every detail, they told me to wait for a while as they need to report it to the head of the station. So, for the past ten minutes I have sitting on the seating area waiting for the head to come. Finally some action will be taken against them; they should rot in jail for the rest of their lives for all the crimes they have committed. I hope I never have to see her or any of others ever again. I just want to erase that chapter of my life forever, I just want to take the happy memories I have with Daniel and move on and have a peaceful life ahead.“Excuse me, ma’am the head officer is here please follow me into his office he wants to know the entire situation from you.” A police officer says and starts leading me up to the head

    He walks up to the upper living area of the penthouse and walks to the nearby door. He kicks the door open and walks in, it is a bedroom of the penthouse. The interior is very mudded, it has grey and white shades all over the room, there’s not a single hint of color in this room.He gets in front of the bed and throws me on it harshly. I back away quickly and run towards the bathroom to get in it, but he catches me halfway through and yanks me to him by my wrist and pushes me on the bed again. "Please I beg you stop." I say getting on my elbow backing away from him, as he puts both of his palms on the sides of my torso and pressurizes the mattress with one of his knees.I cry in fear of what's he's planning on. I try to back away from him as far as possible but he grabs a hold

    After a while I try to open the door again and this time it opens as I twist the door knob. I slowly walk out holding my hoodie together, with one hand. I see no one around so I quickly run down the stairs and head to the main entrance. While heading to the main door of the penthouse I just hope it is unlocked and it is, I open the door and get out and run towards the elevator. As I press the call button I see him standing behind me through the reflection on the shiny elevator door. I gulp not daring to look back, he smirks looking at me and starts walking near me."Where are you going baby?" He whispers in my ear and bites my earlobe.I try not to make a sound, as the elevator door opens I run in it and press the button for the ground floor and get in a corner. H

    The whole room is filled with darkness; it feels like I’m in the middle of nowhere. My eyes flutter open, mind still hazy from the incident that took place few hours ago. It has been few hours’ right? Or did I sleep through the entire night. My nostrils fill up with the smell of nicotine and smoke; I look to my side and see Joe leaning on the headboard.

    As the elevator door opens he wraps his hand around my waist and pulls me closer to him while walking.

  • Set Me Free   Sequel.

The sequel is called 'Am I Free?' the book sheds light on what actually happened to Daniel Robinson, if he ever gets to meet Isabelle Davis. Most importantly the sequel gives the much awaited ending.

    The distant calling of a voice makes me open my eyes; all I see is clear blue sky in front of me. “Tim?” I whisper closing my eyes again as a recollection of the moments of Joe taking him away starts flooding my mind. “Isabelle? Are you okay? He is right here look.” I hear Zen say. “Mom, are you okay?” I feel a small head on my chest and a pair of arms wrapping themselves around my body.

    It has been a few days since that whole incident went down in the strip club. The police have been looking for Daniel but they have no trace of where he might be or what might have happened to him. It saddens me to realize that I might not ever be able to see him ever again. Zen has been very supportive of me, he is just wonderful, he is trying to take both Tim and I under his wing. He insisted on getting Tim admitted to a school here so I gave in and let him do it. Zen got all our stuff shifted here and he gave me full liberty on any changes I want to make around the house. He is treating me as if we are married, it’s funny how sometimes he just says ‘Honey I’m home’ after he arrives from his office. Life has suddenly taken a turn for the good, the past s

    We have been in Zen’s place for hours now, after putting Tim to bed I went down to the living room where Zen has been pacing back and forth for hours. My whole body has given up and I have been sitting on the couch almost lying on it with a blanket wrapped around my body.“Now can you tell me what happened in there?” I ask while I watch him sit on the single couch in front of me. “There’s no Rosie, there’s no one by that name. No one at all,

    “How did she die?” I ask slowly letting him go. He doesn’t let go of me and keeps on holding me tightly and gives my body a tight squeeze before completely letting it go. Zen looks at his lap and fidgets with his fingers and sighs heavily and slowly looks up at me. “After you... after the whole incident with you um... she got into a car accident after a month you were gone.” He looks around not being able to look into my eyes. “I’m so sorry, hope she is in peace.” I slowly pat his back. “I was expecting you at the funeral, it was all over the news thought you saw and you would come.” He slowly smiles at me.A chuckle comes out of my mouth, he doesn’t even have any idea what my life was going through, come to his mother’s funeral right, and I have to be free to be able to go some place. “I really didn’t have access to a TV you know, living in a park bench doesn’t let you have those luxuries. And after you have been kidnapped and drugged you really don’t have the right mindset to get new

    The night sky feels darker than usual; the full moon shines brighter. Wind from the open window is making the curtain flow with it, lying on my bed I stare out the window with Tim in my arms. He is fast asleep; his head is resting on my chest. There’s a weird pain in my chest, images of Zen keeps on popping up in my head. I can’t believe I saw him here, I thought never in my life will I see him again but today I did. He looks so matured now; he looks a lot like his father. I guess he did join their company, of course he did his mother always wanted him to. Seeing him has stirred up the emotions that I was hiding deep within me. I don’t even want to see him again, I hate him; I hate everything about him. Closing my eyes I pull Tim closer to my chest and try to sleep.
