And what did the Butler do next?

The minute they stepped out of the elevator into the hallway, he shoved the food packaging and Kendrick's briefcase in Hailey's hands and disappeared to God knew where.

He didn't want to face Kendrick. And Hailey had to brazen herself, holding the huge package against her chest.

A bodyguard attempted to take it from her, but hell! She was standing already in front of Kendrick's ward. And her heart was doing its usual nervous dance again.

Taking in a deep breath, she gestured to the bodyguard to be quiet, and the other bodyguards stared at them, confused.

Their gazes were mostly on Hailey. Because when she got out of the elevator, they looked astonished to see her.

Ignoring them all, she reached forward to the door and pressed her ear on it. No sound. Was Kendrick sleeping? That would be great. Yet, if he was sleeping, how could she make him take the drugs?

Hailey's hand reached for the doorknob and she plastered on a smile before pushing it open.

    Hailey wanted to tell him he was wrong. He was so wrong. And why was she caught up in this? Wasn't he supposed to be the one getting taunted instead of the other way round? Kendrick had once again surprised her. Was he doing this to tick her off? To take revenge for forcing him to take the drugs? "You haven't answered me, Hailey." Kendrick went on speaking. "Do you want me to make you speak?" And how was he going to do that? Hailey snickered. She pursed her lips and kept her mouth shut, then went back to counting the seconds.He might as well keep asking the empty air, while she waited for him to fall asleep. She pushed her head to the side, ignoring his question, and focused instead on her own thoughts. Kendrick also went silent. He didn't say anything for a while. Good. Hailey was relieved. He should keep his mouth shut until the sleep overtook him.But Kendrick didn't keep his mouth shut. Because moments later she heard his voice again."Well. You asked for it," he said with a

    The drugs should have taken effect a long time ago. Kendrick opened his eyes and stared at Devon. "Leave her alone," he said calmly.Hailey gasped at the sight of his eyes. Shit! He was fighting the sleep. His eyes were red and his face looked tired. 'Urgh' what was wrong with him? Would it kill him to let himself have some rest? "As you wish, Buddy," Devon replied and let out another laugh. His eyes went between Hailey and Kendrick and there was a knowing look on his face. "I delivered your message to Rosslyn." He went on. "You shouldn't keep her worrying though. She is confused about everything, I had to make things up for her to not get suspicious.""Good." Kendrick gave a nod. Then he let his eyelids close again."What do you say we tell her the truth?" Devon continued. "I mean, don't you trust her? You've been together for many years, she doesn't seem like one to be bordered anyways.""We can't trust anyone," Kendrick murmured with his eyes still closed. And Devon let out a

    "Madam, do you want me to bring you something to eat?" The Butler asked as he watched her expression. "Yes, please." Hailey nodded at him. Although she also preferred the homemade food, she couldn't just eat Kendrick's food even though she was tempted to. He was sick after all. He might also wake up hungry. "Okay, Madam. I'll be right back." The Butler gave her a nod and turned around. He was about to leave the room when Devon whose attention was on his phone looked up. "I would also like to have some food, Collins, "He said to the Butler. Then as if changing his mind, he waved his hand and said, "Just forget it. I'll go and get one." He rose to his feet and put his phone inside his pants pocket. "How about I take you to a fancy restaurant for some launch, Hailey?" He held out his hand and proposed. His once taunting grin was now changed to a friendly smile. And somehow, Hailey found herself mesmerized. She had to admit, because it wouldn't miss the eye that the guy was good-loo

    And why would he let that affect him? Devon seemed like a professional. He didn't look like someone after perfection. His carefree attitude proved that. And who was that person he was referring to?"Of course, I'm proud of my work." Devon laughed. "But I worry about what she thinks.""Oh." Hailey nodded in realization. Things made sense now. So it was a girl. Maybe a girl he was trying to impress. If she didn't like his work, that was enough reason to be sad. But she couldn't help but take another look at him. There was no doubt he was a playboy. And well, from her knowledge of playboys. They didn't care about others' feelings but theirs. Maybe she had misjudged Kendrick's friend after all. He seemed all nice and outgoing. And underneath that personality, he also was a warm person. Come to think of it, she had only expressed her interest as a fan and he was telling her all this. She wanted to open her mouth and comfort him. Well, he needed to know that not everything about you ot

    'Oh, God.'Hailey covered her mouth to stifle her gasp. And Devon went on with his eyes fixed on the road. He didn't seem to know that she had no idea of the things he was talking about. He would even glance at her now and then to seek her opinion, and Hailey could only give him a nod.She listened on and everything became clearer. The reason why Kendrick had wanted her marriage with him to be a secret was because there were always threats to him. He didn't want to reveal her to the public. Because he was afraid something bad might happen to her. And especially because she was pregnant, he wouldn't risk losing her and above all, the baby. Hailey only sank into more confusion. The more things were revealed, the more confused she get.Was that why Kendrick had always gone everywhere with the bodyguards with him? Even those times he had escorted her to the hospital for a check-up. No wonder he always wore a mask. He didn't want someone to recognize his face behind that mask. He didn

    And no wonder he had always treated her like an egg. The Ob-gyne had called it a miracle. Even his mother. Things made sense now, she finally knew why Kendrick wanted her so much. Why he was so desperate? "Hailey." Devon's voice jolted her once again out of her trance. And Hailey kept staring at him with widened eyes. The guy muttered every curse word he could think of, his expression regretful. He held out his hand to her arm in a pacifying gesture. "This is all a mess," he said regretfully. "I swear I thought he told you everything. The way you guys acted at the hospital, I thought— shit! I'm screwed."He let out another curse and looked away. And after some seconds, he looked back at her and breathed out a heavy sigh. "Hailey. Could you pretend you didn't hear anything?" He asked with a serious look but there was a pleading tone to his voice. "I don't know if he's just waiting for the right time or isn't planning to let you know at all. Please do me a favor and pretend thi

    Hailey was left standing alone in the parking lot and alone with her thoughts. Another miracle? That shouldn't be impossible. But more children with Kendrick? Her body shuddered at the thought. Was that ever going to happen? Of course not. And now Hailey was afraid. She was afraid of so many things at once. Several minutes passed by and she remained standing in the parking lot. She finally collected herself and entered the hospital. She went straight to the elevator which took her to the top floor. When she stepped her foot out, her eyes lingered on the bodyguards ahead.All of them were taking turns and walking back and forth in front of the door. And for the first time, she noticed something.Apart from the room Kendrick was admitted to, no other room had patients in the area. There were no other people in the hallway apart from the bodyguards. The other doors were shut and never opened. Kendrick had reserved the whole VIP area. She trudged forward with her head lowered and ap

    And there was his drugs again. What if he didn't take them later? Hailey had promised to see to it that he took them. If she left him now, wouldn't that be like going back on her promise? "The Butler is right." Kendrick touched the side of her face, his eyes softening. "Go home and get some rest, Okay?""Yes, Hailey. Just go already." Sharon smiled at her. "I'll take great care of Ken. It will be a burden if you're here. You'll only have Ken worried about your condition."Hailey's eyes were on Kendrick, and she slowly shook her head. "I won't go until you promise me that you'll take your drugs."Kendrick fixed her in a narrowed gaze, a frown appearing once more on his face. "Hailey—""Just promise me and I'll go." Hailey did not give him the chance to protest and she gave him a pleading look. There was silence for a few seconds before Kendrick finally gave her a nod. "Okay, I promise," he said in defeat."You won't go back on your word." Hailey squinted her eyes."I don't go back o

    Sharelene stood in a corner, watching everything unfold. The family was in a frenzy. She could only see fear in their eyes and hear the fright in their voices.As the staff wheeled Hailey out of the emergency room, a deafening silence fell upon the hallway. And Ken...He hadn't been himself since they came here. He hadn't been himself since a few days back when he learned Hailey was kidnapped. Neither would he speak to anyone, nor listen to those that tried to talk reason into him and advise him to take it rationally. Since a few days back, he was the complete opposite of the man she had met many years ago and had a second chance of getting close to again. The man that would always keep calm no matter the circumstances...He was nowhere to be found. Ken was completely different from that man she knew. In her mind, she'd almost gotten what she wanted... Or more specifically, what her family wanted. But now, staring down at the ring on her finger, it was as if the engagement neve

    ```````And every day, Kendrick lived in guilt. For the next several months, every minute of his life was consumed by guilt. It took him weeks to gain her mother's favor, and even months to regain her grandfather's. He would come back every day, hoping that her eyes would at least flutter. Her bump kept increasing at an alarming rate. His every day was filled with fear and trepidation. And one day, her eyes did flutter. He was supposed to feel joy, but not at a chance that more trouble loomed ahead. Her pregnancy was due and not a week after that, the babies arrived. His real fear resurfaced at that moment. The fear that they would never be able to hold their bundles of joy together. The fear that he would never get the chance to tell her that he loved her. However, she proved the doctors wrong, chasing away his fears. Now, staring down at the babies, her utmost gifts to him, Kendrick had never felt so much contented in his life. He'd never been able to wipe off his smile sin

    ***Kendrick paced in front of the Emergency Room. His heart was in his stomach and his hand never left his hair. It was as if she'd been inside there for hours now despite being wheeled in just now.No amount of self-reassurance could calm him. No one attempted to offer him reassuring words even. They've all been in the same dilemma.Her mother wouldn't stop crying and he couldn't find the heart to offer her those words he'd yearned so much to hear. Hadn't it all been his fault? Hailey was pregnant. How was that possible? When they arrived here, it was the first thing the nurses said after taking her vitals. But Kendrick still found it hard to digest.And the fact that the child would definitely turn out to be his only made him more confused. It made him angrier with himself. "Ken, what is going on here?" Rushed footsteps sounded in the hallway and he glanced sideways to find his parents as well as Sharelene. "What are you doing in this place? Is someone wounded?" Asked his f

    ~~~'Hailey.'Kendrick's hands trembled and his grip on the gun threatened to loosen. Staring up at the balcony where she was being held captive, he fought not to let the rage take over. The rage that became multifold the moment he sighted them dragging her here. Her body was limped. She looked worse than how she'd looked in the video. And an almost similar-looking lady, whose face was cascaded with tears, was being held at gunpoint beside her. Was that her mother? "Don't worry, Mr. Reid." Standing with them were the three shareholders. "She isn't dead yet. But she'll soon be, if you don't follow our commands."Mr. Weimar and the rest. Kendrick's assumption hadn't been wrong. They had a hand in this. "Already, you've broken one of our rules," scoffed one of them. "We thought we told you to come alone. Coming here with your friend is like seeking more trouble. Will Mr. Carter be competent enough to fend for himself?""Shit! Buddy, these stupid old fools are underestimating me," De

    ***"Hailey, listen to me!" Rob grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to look up. "This is important, you have to take it."Nothing was more important to Hailey right now than getting away from him. Not only did she fear these drugs he had brought her, but she also feared the way his demeanor had changed ever since he returned with them.Of course, even if Rob was really trying to save her, there was no way she was going to cooperate with him.Yesterday, he'd secretly taken her blood, waking her up. And he returned this morning, looking agitated and somehow angry at her. "Hailey!" Rob's hold became tighter. "You must take these drugs immediately. I can't get you out here if you don't. Please, Hailey." He softened his voice. "Just take the damned drugs, you'll feel better. We both will feel better.""What exactly is wrong with you?" Her mother's voice faded in the background. "Leave her alone, she doesn't want to take them. Please I'm begging you, don't torment her any further."While he

    Maniac.Hailey lifted her hand weakly to send a slap across his face, but her hand went limp and fell mid-way."M–Murderer." She pushed his chest. "Just go, leave me alone.""Hailey." Footsteps approached the room and Rob said frantically, "Please hold on." He touched her forehead. "You're sick. I'll get someone to treat you. I'll get you out, I promise."Then he sprang to his feet and left, closing the door behind him. Hailey was left wondering how such lunatics could be left wandering among normal people. She sniffed and waddled back into her mother's embrace. How blind had she been to associate with these kinds of people in the past?And how could she put a stop to these endless noises and intense headaches? She didn't want to remember? She didn't want to recall whatever they had shared in the past. ***'Ken, you have to save me. These strange men have captured me and they won't release me until you come. If you don't come alone, Ken, they're going to kill me and my Mum.'Kendric

    ...The hours dragged on, and from the tiny cracks in the wall, it seemed night had come. Still in her mother's embrace, Hailey shut her eyes to keep up with that pain.Both hands were wrapped around her stomach and she'd shiver now and then. As much as she'd like sleep to overtake her, it didn't. The exhaustion weighing her down didn't let her achieve that. The exhaustion caused by the aches all over her body. Her head pounded constantly, the voices also became louder each time she was left to her thoughts. Those hallucinations were neverending, and very soon she was afraid that they'd burst out, damaging more parts of her brain.The darkness slowly disappeared and the creaking sound of the door made her aware that morning had come. Another day of torture and pain."Hey, wake up!"Before cold water or anything worse could be splashed on her, Hailey leaned away from her mother's embrace who was also awake."Take your food!" The man burly man threw a food box and a water bottle at them

    ***"Ken, you have to save me. These strange men have captured me and they won't release me until you come. If you don't come alone, Ken, they're going to kill me and my Mum. They have laid traps for you, Ken—"Hailey was cut shut by a hard slap across her face. Bound to a chair with ropes, cold water was splashed on her face. She licked the side of her lips, tasting the metallic liquid; the only thing that kept her from fainting."Damnit! Woman. I told you to leave the trap part out! Are you deaf or what!?" The man holding a camera in front of her shouted. "Now, let's take another video. You will say everything you were asked to.""Stop wasting your time, Man," the portly man said and walked forward. "I don't think this lady is willing to cooperate.""I told you she's a stubborn one," Chloe scoffed from a corner."Now listen to me, Young lady." The portly man approached her and lifted her chin. "If you keep acting this way, we can't fulfill our promise to you. Give us your cooperation

    ***"Buddy, this is serious. How could she just disappear into thin air? Is there a chance that they're hidden somewhere in this city?"This city? Probably not. Kendrick had turned the whole city upside down. He'd deployed every force he could think of. They'd searched everywhere; every warehouse, every dilapidated building. There was no sign of them. It had been three days and there wasn't any traces of them. He'd driven to the cemetery that day, hoping more than anything that she hadn't spent the night there. And his prayers turned out to work. Only that, what actually happened was worse than spending a night in the cemetery. The sight of her phone by the cemetery gates was all he needed to know that something bad had happened. She was abducted. And there was still no traces of the suspects. Her sister and that guy. "Damnit! This is all screwed up." Devon paced for a while before sitting on the couch. "You didn't tell me you've taken her back. You never should have allowed her
