Engrossed in his thoughts, Kendrick was oblivious to the footsteps behind him. And he halted, Rosslyn almost bumped into his back.

"Sir, is there a problem?" She inquired meekly.

Kendrick turned around and faced her. "You can go back to your work."

Her expression fell and those questions appeared in her eyes. "Aren't we going to check the security department, Sir?" She asked.

"Not we, Rosslyn." Kendrick dismissed her. "I will go."

"Oh." Rosslyn made a small sound of disappointment before turning around and heading back inside the elevator.

And Kendrick continued walking. She was becoming more and more interested in his affairs every day, almost to the point of stepping out of the professional boundary. He'd once caught her trying to eavesdrop on his phone call. And he had no one to blame but his friend. Devon was a bad influence.

Rosslyn was gradually changing to become more like a girl with so many distractions. He was afraid he might lose his assistant sooner or later.

    And as he walked back to the elevator, he glanced at his wristwatch. It was almost nighttime. No need to stay in the company. And if not for this slight delay, he should have been on his way back home by now. And he couldn't wait to get home. To release this steam in his head. No need to act fast. She should be lucky that Hailey was in this state. Any news similar to this would only agitate her more. ~~~Hailey spat the white pill out. It was bitter, too bitter. She couldn't take these. They weren't even drugs. They would kill her taste buds. And whenever she tried to take one, it was as if her taste buds were decreasing in function. After taking all the drips as well as the shots, Kendrick did not leave her alone. He even brought these harmful chemicals and commanded her not to miss a pill. Thankfully, he didn't give her strict supervision. And she was done trying to take them. She wasn't sick. He was just experimenting with new ways to prolong her misery. She took out similar

    Hailey's fists ached so much as she gripped his collars. And she shook him hard, she ended up being the one shaken. "I hate you so much, Kendrick! You are worse than a monster. You're so evil, you will never live your life in peace. Kendrick! You deserve all the calamities in this world!" Kendrick stared down at her, he didn't budge. And as she cried loudly and yelled out every kind of curse at him, he stared at her as if she had grown two heads. "Hailey, are you okay?" He brought up a hand and touched her forehead. "I heard fever can make one hallucinate."Hailey paused and her lips parted. Then her sobs increased and she beat hard at his chest."You are the mad person, Kendrick! You are the crazy one! You don't deserve to live among normal people, your rightful place is in the psychiatrist!" Kendrick's frown only became deep as she wailed and thrashed at him. "Something is wrong with you, Hailey.""No, something is wrong with you!" Hailey was helpless and weak instantly. Staring

    "I thought I told you never to mention that name again." Kendrick stepped forward and stood in front of her. "And I'd advise you to quit saying that nonsense. Do you think I'll waste even a second of my time on irrelevant things as his business?""It doesn't matter what I think!" Hailey shook her head, meeting his glare. "And don't try to deny it! I know you did it, you destroyed Rob's company. You might as well gloat over it.""I don't have any business with that." Kendrick gave her a hard look, daring her to go on. "And your allegations won't work on me."Hailey chuckled sadly. She'd expected anything from him but she didn't expect him to also deny it. How crueler could that be? "Are you afraid that I can tell others of your bad side?" She laughed, the laugh that came out as a sob. "Well, I can't wait to do that. I can't wait to tell the whole world the kind of person you are." The confusion in his eyes went away and the irritation returned. "Hailey, I will tolerate anything, but

    Silence hung between them for a few seconds. Kendrick stared down at her, his eyes flaring. And Hailey did not back down. She stared back at him with an equal glare. Then her last words. Her last words seemed to have had an effect on him. His fists loosened and his angry expression slowly dissipated. "Don't you ever dare endanger this baby's life." He pointed at her bump and with one last warning look, he turned around to head to the study room. He didn't even glance in the maid's direction who had been standing there for quite a while now with a tray in her hands and looking scared out of her skin. And Hailey's knees could no longer support her. Her back hit the wall and she slid down slowly until she was sitting on the floor. Kendrick, this evil man... The heartache returned and she covered her face and sobbed. He really did destroy Rob's company and it was her fault— all her fault. Now, what was Rob's family going to do? They'd always considered her bad for him, maybe they ha

    "Hailey." Kendrick stared up at her. "Where did you put your drugs?" No answer. She only stared back at him with empty eyes. Then he cursed and went to the other bedside table. He also checked it and found it empty. And he returned to her side with his phone in his hand. He probably wanted to call the physician. But Hailey wasn't sick. How could she be sick when she was feeling nothing at the moment? "I told you not to miss your drugs." And his commands were the last thing she wanted to follow. Kendrick began dialing a number, and for once, he gave her a helpless look. The phone hadn't started ringing yet when he stepped forward to touch her forehead again. But his feet seemed to have stepped on something and he paused. He seemed to have stepped on the bags. Hailey's ears didn't fail her. That was definitely the sound of the bags under the bed. And she shut her eyes tightly and cursed inside her heart. Kendrick went down and reached under the bed with his hand, his face still

    Whenever she thought the feeling would go away, whenever she thought she'd be numbed to it once again, she only had to see his face to be reminded of that. And unfortunately for her, he'd allowed the Butler and the maids to roam free in the house once more. He'd practically planted them as spies. They would make sure she took those horrible drugs. He kept forcing her to take them. Not a minute late, not a pill would be missed.Hailey knew more than anything that she wasn't sick. She just wanted to be left alone by him. She never wanted to see him or have anything to do with him. As long as she didn't see him, she'd have even a bit of peace. But Kendrick never left her alone. He never left her side whenever he was home. He had even resorted to forcing her to stay in the study room with him. And it would be silence. None of them would speak a word— most truthfully, Hailey wouldn't say a word. All his questions were unanswered, and his commands fell on deaf ears. She would only sit

    But how could Hailey do that... She also knew that things could be undone. But it was hard to come to terms with them soon. She answered the call, praying that whoever it was would speak up immediately. She couldn't spend her thoughts on speculating who it was. Her brain was overworked lately. She couldn't entertain any mind-straining thoughts. She put the phone on her ear and without waiting for that person to speak, she murmured, "Hello."And there was silence from the other end. The only thing that reassured her that that person was there was the even breathing that reached her ears. "Hailey..." Then a voice came, and Hailey's head buzzed with noises. Several thoughts came to her at once. Several assumptions. Several imaginations. She didn't even know when she sprang to her feet. And the phone almost fell from her hands. Was she having hallucinations?"Hailey, are you there?"When the voice came again, Hailey became a hundred percent sure that it was real. She wasn't hallucin

    The tiny movements came from her stomach just in sync with her rapid thoughts. And Hailey cuddled her bump with both hands to curb the movements. She was already in enough discomfort, the last thing she wanted was having to deal with the movements. With her home slippers still on her feet, she tossed her phone inside her shirt's pocket. It was a long shirt that extended down her knees. And without caring to have a glimpse into the mirror, her hair was surely messy, she waded out of the bedroom and hurried down the hallway. Her car keys. She needed her car keys. That was the first thought that came to her mind. But her car keys were with the bodyguard. How was she sure she would be able to retrieve it? There was no way that Rick was going to give her the keys. The bodyguards wouldn't allow her out of the front door. Then something clicked in her head as if a voice inside her was speaking. Or was it her instincts? It was telling her to stop in the study room. And Hailey didn't was

    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
