2024-10-29 19:42:56What should I do? I have to tell the cops immediately. I think I should go to their office, rather than calling them. I quickly rush to take my phone and purse, before darting out of the house.
I called a cab to the nearest cops center, throughout the ride, I couldn't think straight.
Did that man do this? Oh god. My Carrie, she must be crying so hard now. I wiped the tears that slipped out of my eyes.
I rushed out immediately after the cab stopped. Going in I knew this was a lot of processes. I sighed. I made a complaint and they had asked me where they had been last and where they were going to.
I gave them all the necessary information and just like that they had asked me to go home and relax. Relax? Seriously? Who would relax in a situation like this?
~
One Week Later:It has been a week. A week since I last saw them. The people I love so much... They all leave me at the end.
Why? What did I ever do?
I can't believe this is happening, oh god. I wish I could just wake up and all this is just a dream. All this never happened.
But unfortunately, it wasn't. I was showing some people on the road their pictures if they have seen them.
No one saw them. It was probably six in the evening right now. I've been here since morning.
I was so exhausted, but I had to keep on searching. They were the only family I had left.
A car suddenly stopped in front of me. The door opened revealing Jack.
What does he want? I scowled. "What are you doing here? I told you, you could search for her on your own." I snapped. He had promised to help find Carrie. I didn't want his help, but again, what can I do?
"It's getting late, I think you should go home now, Lily." What? I turned my face the other way. "No. Thank you I would go home when I feel like it." I replied.
"Please Lily, I have hired some private investigators to search for them. I'm sure they would find them soon enough."
"Please." He continued. I still had to try looking for them right? I shouldn't stop looking. I would have ignored him if everywhere wasn't suddenly turning darker.
I slowly moved my legs, I went around the car, and he followed behind me, opening the car door. I sighed before slipping in.
Closing the door he went round the door to the driver's seat. We sat in silence. In uncomfortable silence.
This reminded me of those times, those times when we were happy together. Why was I even thinking about it?
The car stopped in front of my house, I quickly came out without waiting for him.
"Lily." I heard him call. "Is there anything I can help you with... Now?"
"No," I replied and continued walking back in, I locked the door immediately after I was in.
~
Third Person's POV:
"Is there any progress?" Paisley asked Jack who just got home.
"What are you doing here?" Jack asked and Paisley rolls her eyes.
"I asked a question... first." She replied.
"What are you doing here?" He asked again like she hadn't said anything.
"I'm here to know if there's any progress between you and you know, so any progress."
"No."
"Why? You seriously have to try... You know what would happen if you don't..."
He drank from his bottle of wine. "She is the most difficult girl I have ever known, it takes time to break her."
"Ugh. What do we do?"
He didn't reply, he just raised an eyebrow.
If he tames Layla and Carrie a little bit more, she might break down and then he will have his chance with her.
"What about her sister and child, where are they?"
"She is fine."
"I know you, Jack, what did you do to her sister?"
Jack hadn't done anything to her and neither had he made sure she is fine. She wasn't even in the same place with Carrie.
"Drop it." He ordered. Paisley sighed frustratingly, she knew she couldn't get it out of him.
Carrie was with his mother, she was perfectly fine.
~
Lily sat on the ground next to the glass wall. She was crying so hard. She had lost everything. The house looked scattered and broken glasses almost midnight.
"Why did you all leave me?" She cried.
"What have I ever done to deserve this?! What did I do?!"
~
Lily POV:Tears rushed out of my eyes. I've lost everything. Everything. I can't believe this. I noticed someone before me. A worried expression on his face.
He wasn't in any Suit this time. He looked so handsome...
Do you have to pick that out?! I screamed at my subconsciousness.
Xavier.
He bent down to my level, bringing me to his chest, I cried on it. This only made me cry harder.
"It's okay." He whispered. I sniffed. How did he get in here? Didn't I lock the door?
I pressed my head to his chest. It felt like a dream. He was here. "I lost everyone I love." I cried. "I am so careless."
"It wasn't your fault and no, you haven't lost anybody. We'd find them, I promise." He said wiping away my tears.
We'd find them, I promise.
I . I won't be able to live without them in my life.
The way he said it gave me a glimmer of hope.
I blacked out

I'd do that myself, go relax, please."

We drove for like 40 mins, we stopped at a huge mansion. I thought we were going to a restaurant or something. He came out and walked passed me. I scowled.Holding Carrie's hand I trailed behind him. There were men in suits, they stood at the entrance of the house but they separated when I was about to pass. Whoa.I quickly passed, entering a big building, some people were arranging the hall, maybe they were going to be a party, I guess."Yeah, this is her." I saw Xavier talking to a lady, she nodded at me and motioned for me to follow her. I raised an eyebrow confusingly before I followed her.We reached a room, i walked in with her. Did he bring us here so we could sleep here? Of course not, why would he do that? I sat Carrie on the bed. "I suggest you go take a bath now." She said.Why? "I'd be right back." She walked out. I slapped my face frustratingly. I moved to the door where the bathroom must be. And there was a bathtub, I'm pretty sure they had kept something inside that wat

I looked at the time, it was 5 pm already. 'Why isn't he home yet?" Jack closes from office and comes home immediately after. It's been an hour already. I frowned looking at the clock. Maybe he was very busy? Or had somewhere to be? I dialed his number. "The number you're calling cannot be reached.' It said. I sighed. I heard a car pull up. Ah! He's back. I arranged my hair waiting for my husband to come in. The first thing he normally does is attack me with kisses and with a warm smile planted on his face but it wasn't so this time. Jack walked in with anger plastered on his face. He glared at me. " What happened?" I asked him. "You whore!" He snarled. "You thought I wouldn't find out, didn't you? You behave all innocent. You thought you could trick me, fucking other guys behind my back, you slut!" His words were venom. "What are you talking about, Jack? What do you mean I sl-" he cuts me off? "Don't you dare act like you don't know what I am talking about?" He screamed. "I do

Why did I have to talk back at him? I hit myself in the head, frustrated. Look where my big mouth has landed me.I blinked looking at the man and woman before me; I pleaded with my eyes. “Please, Is there anything I could do to....” I didn’t finish. But the guy shook his head no. The lady looked at me with no emotion on her face.I can’t miss this opportunity, not when I needed money. The man gestured for me to go out. I sighed walking out.I wanted to scream. This was a great opportunity I just missed. All because I couldn't humble myself. But... To think about it, it's the stupid big ego boss' fault! Couldn't handle a little insult. But... Now I see why they call him Mr. Sexy...Seriously? I’ve gone crazy.Where would I get another job? It took me 2 horrible years to get this job and now I just lost it?Oh god. It’d be really hard to find another job. What was I thinking?!Trust me... I need this job... And the money.

It felt like I was sleeping in the sky, wherever I am was so soft.Where was I? Carrie, Carrie!I shot up from whatever I was sleeping on. My lips came in contact with something soft and wet, but I was too worried for my Carrie to care.I looked around confused. Where was I? I spotted Xavier, what was he doing here? He was touching his lips.I looked away from him."Carrie," I muttered repetitively. I turned to look at him again."Where is my child?" I asked him, hoping he would know where she is. He looked shocked for a moment then composed himself."You kissed me." He said unbelievable.What he just said didn't enter my head."Where is my baby?" It came out as a cry."She is sleeping." He replied.

I quickly rush out of the room, my breathing heavy as I internally cursed at myself. What was I thinking? I can't just enter any room like that! I placed a hand over my heart, trying to calm down the fast beating.The door behind me was cold and I leaned my back against it, knowing I didn't see anything. I couldn't seem to move my body. I was frozen and I stayed in my spot for what felt like hours but then the door opened and I stumbled forward, almost hitting the floor but someone wrapped their arms around my waist, catching me.Xavier.I looked up at him and blushed red."Uhmm," I mumble, unsure of what to say. "Sorry about that, I mean about earlier, I didn't see anything." I rush to explain myself.He raised a perfectly arched eyebrow, "Indeed?"I slowly nod my head, hoping

He said and that got really angry. "How does it concern you?!" I shot back glaring at him, I don't think he could see me though, the room was really dark.Everywhere might be dark but I could feel his cold glare. Unbelievable."Let go of me you scumbag!" I screamed at him, that only made him tightened his grip. He is a psychopath."I would let go of you, if you leave this place right now." He said. I scoffed."This isn't right, you can't just go around ordering me, who do you think you are?" I asked him. He didn't bother to answer me, he just tucked his hand in his trouser pocket.

It wasn't Layla, she knows the password to the house.I went closer to the door looking through the peephole. My eyes widened.Jack.What was he doing here?! Should I open the door? Should I not open the door?Ugh! Just hear what he wants to say!No! Don't open the door! Two different voices screamed in my head.I slowly opened the door, standing at the edge. "What do you want." I snapped.I hated seeing his handsome face! Not as handsome as Xavier's though.Seriously?! Now is not the time to compare!"Can I come in?""No. Whatever you want to say, say it here." I know I was being rude but I can't help it, if I try being nice, then I'd start crying, I wanted him to think I was angry.I was mad at him though."Ah. Okay." He said. I waited for him to continue. Did he know about Xavier and Paisley?I was sure he knows Paisley."It's about Carrie." I tensed. He wanted to talk about Daisy. We can't talk about her outside here like this."Come in," I muttered stepping away from the door so

"I'm pregnant and it is Xavier's."What? Why did my heart shatter so much when I heard that? She and Xavier have been together for a long time...Maybe.Maybe Xavier and I were never meant to be. This was all a mistake.But you love him.Then I have to stop. I can't. I can't separate a child from his/her father. I stopped the tears from coming out."Congrats," I said to her and she looked shocked. She was probably expecting more reactions from me."Are you going to leave him? You have to leave him, Lily, I grew up without a father and it wasn't good, it caused me so much emotional pain and I don't want the same for my unborn child." She said in a pleading tone.Pleading? She is such a good actress."Yes."She beamed. "You're such a good person. Thank you." With that, she left.I went back in. "Are you seriously going to believe her? She can be lying for Christ's sake!" Layla asked.Are you okay? The first time she asked me that."Yes, yes. I'm okay. Where is Carrie?" I asked."She was

It felt like a dream. I can't believe this is happening. I was floating on cloud nine, hoping never to come down.Soon we pulled away. His eyes were dark and beautiful... "So... What does this mean? Where does it take us to?""I don't know, what do you think?" He asked raising an eyebrow.My heart was thumping.~After having an unbelievable romance with Xavier, he had left, i and Layla were busy packing our stuff. We were going back to the city.Reason? Because he said I was owed him and he wasn't going to let me stay here. Don't ask me why.That guy was unbelievable.Daisy sat at the table eating her cheese, she looks so cute.I wonder what Xavier would say to his mother, he now knows she was the one who did this. When I had told him earlier, an angry look passed through his handsome face.Xavier likes me. A blush crept to my face. But we are not going to stay at his place, I had told him I didn't want him to do such little things for me. Besides, I have got a little money, enough

I opened the door and behold was Xavier.Right now there was a mixture of both excited and trouble. I was excited because... Well... Can't explain.I was troubled because if his mother finds out... Did he know what his mother was doing?Before I could ask what he was doing when he pulled me close hugging me. My heart leaped.His manly cologne feels my nose. Once again in two weeks, I felt safe. I hugged him back. It felt like a dream. A movie.Well if it was a dream I don't want to wake up.What the hell was I doing?! He is going to get married or maybe he has already gotten married!I was about to pull away, but he held me tighter. "Stay still." He ordered.Don't know why but my body obeyed that command, my body was betraying me. After what seemed like hours, we pulled away.But I was surprised by the death glare he sent to me."What the hell were you thinking? I never thought you were that stupid." He spat out.My nostrils flared. The nerves of this guy. Just a moment ago it seemed

Oh god."Please, don't hurt them. I'd do it. I'd leave the country." I pleaded.She smiled. "Then it's done. You'd leave in 30 minutes, but you have to sign this, don't worry. It would be delivered to his office." She brought out a letter, a resignation letter.I gulped. But shouldn't I be happy? I mean, I would be free from that bad debt and I'd have time with me and my family...But the thought of leaving Xavier...With a shaky hand, I picked up the pen and signed it. Her smile got wider. She sure smiles a lot."Okay, you can go now, there should be a car waiting outside for you by now." She mused.I blinked the tears away, why was I even crying? stepping out of the office, so many things was running through my mind. I was going to miss my country.A part of me was going to miss Xavier... What?The lady who had led me in here was at the door, she led me back outside, and she looked at me with pity. I guess she knows her boss wasn't a good person.Soon we reached outside, there was
