How did she think that would be of good to her— or any of them?

He cursed under his breath and slouched down on his chair. Just when he thought everything was falling into place. When he thought he had got all things under control.

It was a bad idea to take her to see them. He shouldn't have expected her to cooperate. She was too naive to know what hole she'd dug for herself.

Even when he went back to speak with them, it was all futile. It was too late to pacify the couple. Now that she'd admitted it herself, his hands were tied.

But he couldn't just sit and watch. Not when he knew what his parents' next action might be.

He leaned back against the chair and wiped his face. Their next action which was more or less a decision– that didn't settle well with him.

She had been left off the hook because she was carrying his child. The couple wouldn't have batted an eye before making her live through hell. But their final decision—

He shook his head. Hailey was so unpredictable. And righ

    Kendrick frowned at her relaxed expression then took another step forward. And that was when he got his answers. Because his movements caught her attention. Her hand stopped mid-air as she was about to take food into her mouth and she let out a small sound of shock when she spotted him. She wasn't in a bad mood. She looked surprised that he was back– and somehow, relieved. "Kendrick." Hailey left her food behind and scurried to him. "I– I..." Her lips trembled and she trailed off. She wasn't avoiding his gaze now. She stared right into his eyes, her expression turning to that of worry. Was she regretting what she did now?Kendrick let out a dark chuckle. Of course, she should. She should have realized how mindless and thoughtless she had been. Putting herself in his parents' bad books, how was that ever going to benefit her? Hailey's eyes darted to his clenched fists and she swallowed what seemed like her saliva. She took a measured step back and her lips parted. "Y–You aren't ma

    Hailey wiped the remnants of her tears. Urgh! This was so embarrassing. She couldn't believe she had cried again. Was it because she was so at her wit's end? She had been freaking out since morning.Since he left her alone in the car and asked her to be brought home, he didn't hide his anger. He had been furious. She would be lying if she didn't admit that she had been scared. His anger had left her at her wit's end. She had even stayed inside her room all day, hoping that would make him return. The Butler must have informed him of that. Yet, he didn't return until now. She had wanted to iron things out. His intention was good, she knew it. However, he shouldn't treat her like this. She didn't deserve to be treated this way just because she was carrying his baby. Just because he was this obsessed.She needed to let him see it. Who knew he would return, still enraged, and make things go haywire? Only with his words, he'd broken her dam of emotions. He thought she was stupid. He th

    Hailey's fingers wandered to her eyelids. Was it so obvious that she had cried? And why was the Butler suddenly taking interest in her personal life with Kendrick? She gave the man a pointed look. It wasn't like he would do anything about it even if Kendrick had bullied her. And those times he'd bullied her countlessly in the past, the man didn't appear to show any concern. Urgh! She wouldn't have even been surprised he had been secretly cheering Kendrick on.After all, she had been the villain in the house and Kendrick was the saint. He was the angel.A sigh left her lips and she wiped her face. What was she even thinking? Kendrick was literally the angel. Her best friend was right. Some part of him seemed to radiate light.Even though he had only treated her well selfishly just because of the baby, it was all in all an act of kindness. The kindness she didn't possess when she'd dropped that lethal portion in his food. "Madam, did you say something?" The Butler's voice came again

    The Butler released her arm and kept on shaking his head. "You don't know what Master's parents are capable of. You shouldn't have let them know the truth." At the expense of them losing their jobs? Hailey fought the urge to shout. Even if the servants' jobs weren't at stake she had her sanity to think of. How could she just stand and watch him cover up for her misdeed? She would only feel incapable and inconvenient. She wouldn't even have anywhere to hide her face. Whatever Kendrick's parents were capable of wasn't her problem. They would make her pay for what she did to their only son. They'd even file charges against her, she wouldn't give a care."Madam." The Butler stared at her after getting no response from her. He gave her a look as if she didn't understand the enormity of the matter she had shoved herself into. "I– Is there a chance that you could back and tell them you were just bluffing?" He gave her a frantic look. "You can go back there with Master and tell them all yo

    And Hailey was proud of that, even though it would land her in jail for a few years. She would prefer that to living every day in guilt. She didn't even want to remember how weak he looked at the hospital. And how difficult it had been for her, coping with the reality that she'd caused his illness. She hadn't done this before. And it would be her last. She'd never carry out that kind of stupid plan again. Her eyes strayed to his face and she leaned in closer to have a proper look. He obviously hadn't recovered well. The dark circles were still prominent under his eyes. And the skin of his lips— it appeared somehow pale. Even his features— well, nothing much changed about his appearance. But staring closely at his face. Staring closely... How could he be so—"Are you done?" His lips suddenly moved and Hailey took a few seconds to react. Her heart stopped beating and when she finally registered his words, her pupils expanded and she let out a scream.However, her scream was instan

    Hailey shifted back while maintaining his gaze. She gave him a cautious look until her back hit the headboard and she couldn't move again.What the hell was he thinking? Why wouldn't he spill it out already? She was a mass of wrecking nerves right now. Kendrick was so confusing. If he was mad at her, he should say it and let her sleep peacefully. And if he wasn't mad at her he should stop creeping her out already. Then he finally moved. He released the comforter and pushed it aside before he moved forward. He kept moving forward until he was right before her. He was sitting too close to her, also leaning against the headboard.Hailey's heart ran into another mess of chaos. And she gulped. Th– This. W–What the hell was he trying to do? What was wrong with him? Sleep was far from her eyes at this moment. Kendrick was so close. He was too close, and her senses shouted danger. Maybe it was a bad idea to wake him. He hadn't been sleeping anyway. But hell, it was a bad idea to hover ov

    She had expected something worse. And right now, did things go the way she wanted? "Hailey." Kendrick's voice brought her back to reality and she could feel his hand on her cheek. He tucked her hair to the side and fixed her eyes in a deep gaze. "I don't want you to go." He started. "They are going to take you somewhere, where you'll only be alone. Under strict supervision. They'll make sure you put to bed safely..."He left the remaining words hanging and sank into silence.And Hailey blinked. She blinked again and again. His words were too much to decipher in one breath. His parents wouldn't just separate them, they would take her somewhere? Alone? Under strict supervision? And make sure she put to bed safely? After that. What would happen after that? Were they going to let her go? Would they leave her alone and grant her her freedom? Was Kendrick going to leave her alone finally? If he had the power to stop his parents, he wouldn't be discussing this with her right? Hadn't he

    Hailey never forgot it. It was always at the back of her mind. And now with his parents' sudden decision, it was now very clear. It was prominent in her mind. It was in fact the only thing she could think of. Her eyes remained on the window concealed by the curtains. The silhouette of the blue moon was out in the sky. Kendrick was right. It was too late into the night. But she wondered if he was also sleeping. Several minutes passed and she was still deep in her thoughts. Was he also asleep? She didn't wonder long because she felt his movements. Moments later, his arm was around her, his palm settling on her stomach. And she could feel his breath on her back. He wasn't sleeping. However, he didn't say a word. He didn't say anything and kept on hugging her. Did he think she was asleep? Hailey bit her lips and let out a sigh. This was strange. If he had the power to stop his parents, why was he giving her a choice now? Did he not want to argue with them? Or did he just want her to

    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
