"The Butler told me you cooked." Kendrick held Hailey's hand. They were alone in the living room.

Hailey gave him a guilty look and nodded. 'Urgh!' that Collins. Why was the man so stubborn? It seemed like she had to give up on hoping he would stop telling on her to Kendrick.

Even if he didn't tell him, sooner or later, Kendrick would know it was she who cooked, the moment he tasted the food.

Maybe the Butler wanted to liberate himself before Kendrick could start questioning why she had to stress herself.

"It was the least I could do." She blinked at him. "To make you happy."

And the scolding never came. He really seemed happy. Even his smile got wider... That tiny dimple had started to appear.

"Let's go, Kendrick." She started pulling him away. "Before the food loses its warmth."

"Hailey." Kendrick didn't move from his position. He held her back, his eyes softening more.

And Hailey paused, her brows furrowing. Was there something he wanted to say?

He tucked a stray strand beh

    "Really?" Devon's jaw dropped as he scooped another portion onto his plate. "Say today is my lucky day. I'm honored to taste our baby Mama's special cuisines. I must tell you it is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted." "I'm glad you liked it." Hailey smiled. "My skills are so–so.""Don't be so humble." Devon winked at her. "Your skills are so good. Has anyone ever told you that you're the perfect wife?" He darted a taunting glance at Kendrick whose attention was on his food. "I hear that quite often." Hailey also darted Kendrick a glance."Great to know." Devon gave a soft laugh. "Otherwise, I can't imagine your amazing skills going unnoticed. I can tell you're a great match for my Buddy here." Hailey wondered if the guy ever stopped smiling. And she seemed to be affected as well because she could no longer hide her own smile. Maybe because his compliments were too good. "With a great care like this, what else could a man ask for?" Devon's flattering words were neverending.

    What Kendrick had anticipated to be a nice cozy dinner almost turned into a small war. All thanks to Devon who wouldn't keep his mouth shut. Hailey picked at her food silently and he would glance now and then in her direction. She must have believed his words yet she appeared sad. She seemed to have lost her appetite. Kendrick picked up her plate and poured more food onto it. At least the little food that was left. Because now that Devon's mouth was shut, the food disappeared rapidly. "Don't keep an empty stomach." He proceeded to put the plate back in front of her. "Eat more, Hailey."She had been working since afternoon. The Butler had told him she didn't take a rest until she was done. She didn't even allow the maids to help her because she wanted to cook for him alone. To make him happy. Obviously, she didn't have anything in her stomach. She should be starving. Hailey didn't protest when he put the plate, now piled up with food, back in front of her. But she still picked at

    "I don't believe so." Hailey finally opened her mouth. She seemed to be loosening up. "Between you and I, the shameless one is obvious.""How can you prove that?" Kendrick questioned. "Well, for one, I need to remind you that I'm not the food, it is right in front of you. And secondly, stop giving me that hungry look. It makes me uncomfortable."Kendrick paused. He was midway through feeding her another spoonful. Was that the look he was giving her? He looked away. Maybe it was true. He didn't even realize that his eyes had wandered more than normal to her dress. And now that Hailey had pointed it out, she recoiled once more back into her docile cave. She was back to being shy again. And Kendrick continued feeding her, now frighteningly aware of his surroundings. He was no longer checking her out subconsciously. His conscious senses had awakened and so were many other things. He took his time to feed her, probably to savor the moment. Or maybe more— Damnit! And he found himself gu

    She was just too innocent to understand the kind of feeling it was. And Kendrick had to explain to her. Seemed like he needed to make her aware of a lot of things. And he opened his mouth, to tell her all she needed to know. Despite seeming half out of her mind at the moment, she should understand each of his words. But he didn't get to do that. His thoughts were interrupted by rushed movements. "Master! Master! Are you alright?" The Butler was instantly by their side. He looked as if he'd run a thousand miles. "You moved too fast, is there a problem? Did anything happen to Madam?" The Butler was still catching his breath. He didn't realize the situation he had walked in on yet. And Kendrick moved quickly. He pulled back his hands and shoved them into his pockets. And Hailey... She simply covered her face and fled. "M–Madam is also here?" The Butler's pupils expanded. He seemed to just notice Hailey as she hurried toward the bedroom. Kendrick's figure had initially concealed her

    "I envy their romance.""Me too.""Urgh! Shut up, Girls." The Butler seemed annoyed. "Stop talking about the romance. Don't you get it?" The maids were probably taking a different angle from his aim. "If this keeps on happening, I think it won't be long before Master and Madam get blessed with another child. I want you girls to keep praying for that to happen.""You seem to be anxious about Master getting more children." One of the maids sounded confused."Isn't it normal for them to have more children later in the future?" Another maid added."More children means more joy." The third maid clapped her hands. "I think you're right, Sir. We should pray hard so that Master will have plenty of children before Madam gets old.""I know you are the most sensible one." The Butler patted the young maid's head and chuckled. "You girls should learn from her." He pointed at the other two. "From now on, make sure you all put Master and Madam in your prayers. If they have more children, even Master

    If only his words would make the man leave him alone. He didn't have the time or the energy to listen to some motivational speech about what was far from reality. And Kendrick's words sure did achieve what he wanted. A smile instantly bloomed on the Butler's face and he bobbed his head rapidly. "I knew you would understand, Master," he agreed. "But we don't need to wait until Madam put to bed. Don't worry, I'll start praying from now on."Good luck with your prayers. Kendrick wanted to add. But his words were only limited to tangible and conceivable things. "I'll leave you alone, Master." The Butler smiled from ear to ear. "Good night again. Have a wonderful time with Madam." Kendrick entered the room and closed the door behind him after dismissing the Butler. He walked toward the bed and towered in front of Hailey. Her head was still down. But she lifted it up as if sensing his presence. Maybe she hadn't been that deep into thinking. She had been aware of her surrounding all thi

    Confused.Kendrick squinted his eyes. He hadn't expected that reply. "You're not supposed to be confused, Hailey." He planted a soft kiss on the back of her neck, one hand trailing down to her bump. "You should know what that feeling entails." He went on. "I– I..." Hailey looked back into his eyes. "I know what it means, Kendrick." She suddenly whirled around and faced him. She knew what it meant? Kendrick stood perplexed and his hands fell to his side. "I know what it means," Hailey repeated, her voice wasn't as soft anymore. "I'll be a child not to know that."She knew what it meant? The words kept on echoing in Kendrick's ears. And she was right. She wasn't a child not to know that. She wasn't as oblivious as he thought after all. Back then in the bedroom, when she had been deep in thought, was that what she was thinking about? Maybe she spoke too fast or he was too speechless to respond, because her next words came again, perplexing him more. "I'm attracted to you, Kendrick

    From last night till morning, it had been a roller coaster of emotions for him. He never knew there were different shades of happiness until now. And even now that he sat in his study room, scrolling through some documents on his computer, his mind couldn't stop wandering and his smile never disappeared even for a second. The images were vivid in his senses. He couldn't wipe them off and he wouldn't care to. He should relish them instead. He'd left Hailey in the bedroom, taking breakfast. Her pretend sleep didn't last long. Her stomach, probably, wouldn't cooperate. He'd asked the servants to bring up her food and that grateful look that she had given him was a sign that he had made the right decision. She didn't want to go downstairs... Maybe because she was exhausted, or maybe... She was still shy. Kendrick chuckled and swiveled his chair. He'd close the computer lid. Working on the documents was fruitless anyways. Not when his mind was occupied with everything about her. Tho

    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
