She fought through the darkness once more. With all her might and all her heart, she had to know where that voice was coming from, who it belonged to, and why it sounded familiar.

And she fought. She kept on fighting, winning and losing.

She didn't stop until a surge of energy burst through her, until a blinding light invaded the darkness, until those heavy weights lifted gradually.

And the lights dimmed and her eyes fluttered.

This time, she could hear new voices. Foreign voices. Voices that were all clear and coherent.

They weren't only calling out to her, they were also conversing in the background.

"Hailey, can you hear me?" This voice belonged to a female. "Please don't faint again, Hailey. You are strong, I know you can fight it."

But Hailey wasn't strong. The pain was still there. The boiling tears scalded her cheeks and her grips tightened around that soft thing.

Where was the male's voice? The darkness took her again. Where was that familiar voice?

It hurt. She wanted

    Her heart bubbled with excitement and her lips quirked up. "Kara." Her eyes kept searching the place. No sign of a crib. Where was her baby? "Kara, where is my baby?" Hailey returned her attention to her friend and asked. And Kara sighed and sat back in her chair, her expression didn't look promising. Hailey's smile faltered a bit. Why didn't Kara look so happy? Did she give birth to a boy? However, that wasn't Hailey's problem at the moment. All she wanted was to see her baby. She might have given birth somehow during those painful periods. Her baby must have come out at that time. The sharp pain below her abdomen explained that. The doctors must have cut open her stomach and removed her baby. "Kara, answer me." Hailey didn't care that her voice was hoarse. And she shifted on the bed to get down.Her baby must be in the nursery. Wasn't that where they kept newborn babies in the hospital? She had to find her baby immediately. Kara looked sideways and avoided her eyes. That ma

    "Oh my goodness, you're awake." She gave Hailey a quick hug and frantically wiped her tears. "It's alright, Baby, please stop crying." She hushed her and hug her again. "You need to keep strong. Some things aren't meant to be."Hailey's lips trembled. They hurt. How could this be? Why did things have to come to this? She didn't lose her baby. She would never lose her baby. "Hailey." Kara took her hands, grabbing her attention. "Don't cry, okay? Please take heart. Our little one sacrificed its life for you. You have to be strong. You have to keep on living."Hailey shook her head and sobbed harder. No. She couldn't keep on living. She could not live without her baby. And her baby didn't sacrifice its life for her to live. Kendrick did that. Kendrick sacrificed their baby's life. Hailey's sob filled the ward and she wrapped both arms around her stomach. If the doctor's explanation was true, then there was only one answer to why she was still living. Kendrick prioritized her life

    ~~~Hailey's gloom didn't subside in the next few days that passed. In fact, the grief expanded in her chest, numbing her and rendering her into a state of dazedness. Throughout the next few days, she would imagine that her baby was with her. She'd imagine a little crib beside her baby. She'd imagine the tiny cries of her baby. Those thoughts had become hallucinations. And her eyes never left the door. She would always stare at the door, her heart skipping whenever someone pushed it open. But her hopes would dampen whenever she realized that it wasn't him. The last four days that passed by were filled with hopes of seeing him. And hopes that everything was still a dream and she would soon wake up. Apart from her grandfather, no one else had visited her. No one else had come to see her. And she began to wonder if no one else was aware. Her mother had passed the information to her grandfather and for that, Hailey was grateful. But she wasn't ready yet. She wasn't ready to see her

    As much as she didn't know why she was out of her mind at that time; why it felt as if an unknown force had taken over her body, she knew that it wasn't right. All those things she did weren't right. She wasn't supposed to treat Kendrick like that. Maybe she should have followed the Butler's advice and let his anger come down. She should have listened to Kara's words and not made a great deal out of things. "Crying all the time will only worsen things, Hailey."Silent tears trickled down Hailey's face and Kara used her thumbs to wipe them. "You have to be strong. You can't let the grief take over you."Strong? That word sounded foreign to Hailey. Her grandfather had told her these same words. Her grandfather had spent hours here, offering her every word of advice. He said she had to be strong. She had to look after her health. But how could she be strong when she'd just lost her baby? Her poor baby. Hailey wasn't going to be strong. She was never going to forgive herself. Kara

    Only the near collision had rendered her in this state. The doctor had told her that she suffered from a massive shock.Her body couldn't bear it and it affected her baby. And Hailey's thoughts strayed. Her cheeks were wet again. What if Kara's phone call had come in even way before she left the mansion? What if she had called her before she jumped inside the car and flew onto the road?What if that phone call even came in before she set the kitchen on fire? Before she invaded Kendrick's study room to retrieve her car keys? So many what-ifs filled Hailey's head and her hold tightened around her stomach. If only she had received that waking call on time before it was too late. If only she had come back to her senses on time.She wouldn't have lost her baby. She would have still been in the mansion by now, with Kendrick. She would have been looking forward to the arrival of her baby which was only a couple of weeks from now. How could fate be so cruel to her? Why did she have to g

    Devon scratched the back of his neck at her question. Then he chuckled and avoided her eyes. "Come on, why do you keep bringing him up?" He whined. "Forget about him and tell me whatever you want. You just need to mention anything and it shall be yours. What do I have to give to make you smile?"Hailey traced random lines on her stomach. Whatever she wanted? She only wanted one thing at the moment. She just wanted to see Kendrick. "Hailey." Kara's voice came from the couch. "Look, these flowers are beautiful. Do you think I should put them in a vase?"Hailey's eyes strayed to the bouquet. It was really pretty. And she gave Kara a slow nod. "I'm glad you think that." Devon glanced at Kara and gave her a wink. "Hailey, who is this gorgeous lady here? You haven't introduced us." Hailey opened her mouth to speak but Devon had already risen to his feet. His eyes were on Kara and he walked to the couch and stood in front of her. "Allow me to introduce myself." He flashed her a smile a

    ~~~But the line never went through.Hailey spent two more days in the hospital. She spent two more days dialing that same number. Kendrick's phone was still off. And she began to worry. Was he alright? Did something happen to him? How could he not charge his phone for complete three days? What was going on? Today, she sat on a bench just outside the hospital building. The park which was filled with people bustled with chatters of patients and visitors. The small park was built inside the hospital territory, and she could sight the big street ahead from the small metal fence. Hailey was alone, sitting on the bench and staring into nothingness, with Kara's phone in her hands.Kara had gone to a stall nearby to get some candies. She said it would help decrease the bitter taste in her mouth. Hailey's palm traveled to her stomach, this time she didn't hold it tightly. As she stared at the many people in one place, she suddenly preferred the solitude in the mansion. She preferred the

    She laughed again at the kids' interaction and ruffled his hair. "You don't like to be called that?" She smiled and the boy nodded. "Awn, that's so sad." Hailey gently pinched his cheeks. "What should I call you then? Do you prefer the title, little man?"The boy nodded again, eagerly this time and Hailey chuckled. "Then don't be mad, because right from now, I'll call you Mr. Little man." His red cheeks became a shade darker and he played with Hailey's fingers. "I'm not mad," he mumbled. "Cuz you're sick. And... You're beautiful."Hailey's heart was instantly struck by a cupid arrow. He wasn't mad at her because she was sick. And he also thought she was beautiful. The little boy looked shy, but he surely was a lady killer."Well, you can call me Baby, I won't complain," the girl interrupted and jumped up on the chair to sit beside Hailey. "Aunty, aren't I cute?""Yeah." Hailey nodded. "You're both very cute."The girl giggled and the boy ducked his head and smiled."Aunty, you k

    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
