"That's right." Kara beat the desk. "You can't lie to me, Hailey. So stop trying to. Now tell me the truth. What happened to you during your meeting?"

Hailey pursed her lips, she couldn't recount that. She was better off not saying anything about it.

"I want to keep it a secret," she whispered. "I want it to be only between me and Kendrick."

"The heck–" Kara looked surprised. "Hailey, you... Since when did I become this distant from you?"

Hailey opened her mouth but Kara's next words stopped her.

"Shit! You see I almost forgot." She cursed out loud and brought out her phone from her pajamas pocket. "Let me give your mother a call. And when I return, make sure you tell me everything. Don't leave out even a word. You must tell me whatever occurred during and after your visit to the company."

Hailey sighed helplessly. She really didn't want to.

And as Kara made the phone call, she quickly finished everything on the plate.

It only took her two minutes, and when she was done, she ran in

    "Argh!" Kara pulled at her hair and started pacing. "I'm so mad at him, Hailey, I'm so mad at both of you. You're sick and you don't care about your health. You keep going out and returning home with bruises. You couldn't even open up about what happened yesterday.""I told you it's a secret!" Hailey screamed. "And leave me alone for goodness sake. If you can't do anything to help me, at least stop trying to talk me out of it. I have to get back together with Kendrick, and I need to do that soon." "Both of you, calm down." The middle-aged woman looked from Hailey to Kara. "Arguing won't solve anything. Sit down and think about it, Dear." She faced Hailey and said softly. "You can't stoop this low for a man, it won't end up in your favor. Can't you see that you're making a big mistake?"Mistake? Hailey chuckled sadly. Shit! She was about to cry again. Why did she have to let every small word hurt her? "So what if I made a mistake." She chuckled. "This isn't the first time everyone m

    If he'd wanted her to suffer, he wouldn't have chosen her over their baby. He would have asked the doctors to sustain the baby's life instead of hers. Kendrick wasn't cruel deep inside. And Hailey believed that he had a soft spot for her. He always had.She could still remember those times when Kendrick pampered her nonstop. Those moments were still fresh in her memory. He never let the servants look down on her. Kendrick told her that she was the most wonderful woman he'd ever met. He had always been patient with her. Even that time that she poisoned him, he didn't want to let her go. Despite his parents' pesterings, he held her tight and told her sweet words. Hailey would never forget that night. She had cried in regret and Kendrick had coaxed her to sleep. That was how great he had been to her. He was always cautious around her. Kendrick could go against anyone just to please her. He went to the extent of sending Sharon away from his home.Hailey was willing to let go. She w

    Amidst the bodyguards' greeting in unison, Kendrick strode toward one of the cars whose door was held open by a bodyguard. And he entered inside then the door was closed. Hailey could only glimpse him for a few seconds. And compared to yesterday, he was dressed today in a different tuxedo. Leaving the company this early and dressed in new clothes, it only meant Kendrick slept in the company. How was it even possible? And where was he headed?Hailey frowned and cautiously stepped out of her hiding spot. The bodyguards were jumping inside the several cars in the parking lot. Kendrick seemed to be going somewhere. This was her chance to speak with him for the second time, could she let this opportunity go? Before Hailey could answer her own thoughts, she found herself hurrying down to the parking lot. And she headed straight to where Kendrick's car stood. All the bodyguards had entered their cars. And Hailey knew she had to be fast before they came out. They must have seen her a

    And after saying that, the car started again. Hailey could only watch his side profile as the car drove into the villa. Following Kendrick's car were the cars the bodyguards' took. They all drove past Hailey and entered the villa. And Hailey stood rooted in one spot, her eyes fixed only on Kendrick's car. Her palm slowly traveled up to her chest and she held it. Why did it hurt so much?In the next minute, Hailey didn't have another glimpse of Kendrick's car. She didn't see him coming out of the car. Once the bodyguards' cars had all entered the villa, the security man drew the gates close and all she could see was the white metal bars. A gust of cold wind wheezed past, threatening to pick Hailey along. Kendrick was still mad at her. He was still ignoring her. If she followed him inside the villa, wouldn't it lead to more problems?The security man was also on standby at the gate. He recognized her and he gave her a look that dared her to come forward.And Hailey was wise enoug

    "Please say something." Hailey looked up from his chest. "Tell me that you forgive me and you're going to take me back. I– I can't wait for us to get back together, Kendrick. Believe me please, I'm never going to cause you any more trouble."Kendrick did not move. And Hailey searched his eyes to detect any emotion. The only thing she could feel was his body loosening up. Maybe it would only ever be in her fantasy, but Hailey wished that he would at least hug her back. Even as she hugged him now, her heart was breaking inside. It hurt so much to feel so close yet distant. "It is a boy."Suddenly, his voice echoed in her ears. It was soft in the beginning, but when he repeated it, Hailey could feel the anger in it. "It is a boy, Hailey."An emotion finally showed in his eyes. Hurt. Hailey was sure she hadn't imagined it. Kendrick was hurt. A boy?The words didn't stop echoing in her mind. Her baby was a boy? Hailey opened her mouth but she instantly lost the ability to speak. He

    Hailey limped out of the neighborhood, struggling to walk on both legs. It took a while before she found a taxi. Maybe the doctor was right. But she still didn't believe that. And maybe her new condition was real.If Kendrick could let her go because of this issue, maybe her feelings were unrequited. And maybe signing the divorce papers was the best idea. Why then did she find herself giving the taxi man the address of Kendrick's company instead of going somewhere where she could have her wound treated, or just returning to Kara's place and accepting her fate? Hailey didn't know what was wrong with her. Her desperation had begun to scare her. All she knew was that she wanted to be with him. Just now, he had almost run over her with his car. Yet, she was going to find him.Had she become a masochist? Was this how it felt to love someone so deeply?Hailey brought out a tissue from her bag and wiped the patches of blood away. When the taxi man arrived at Kendrick's company, she w

    ~~~"Hailey.""Hailey.""Hailey."Hailey felt like she was in a dream. A voice kept calling out her name. It was asking her to wake up. She was being pulled away on a stretcher. There was an unbearable pain in her abdomen. Something was moving in her stomach. Not long after, the voice stopped calling out to her. Then more voices came. The clattering of utensils invaded her senses. The beeping sounds of machines. The feeling of something tracing an outline on her stomach. Then something sharp cut through the outline. Something like a knife. It hurt. There was too much blood. Many hands work on her body. The noises increased. They mentioned something about not surviving. Someone said something like we can't save them both. Hailey fluttered her eyes to break out of this horrible nightmare. The sight of the blood was scaring her. And the sounds of the machines— she felt like more outlines would be made and her stomach would be cut open again. "Hailey."The voice was calling out to

    Why did she feel as if something had happened to him? She could see the images of him covered in blood. She could see Kendrick throwing him against chairs and tables. That was strange. Why did Rob save her from the park instead of Kendrick? She could remember wanting to follow Kendrick to his company. Kendrick and her must have had an argument and she wanted them to make peace. Carefully, Hailey got down from the bed and walked to the large window. She stood by the window and placed her palm on the glass. The scenery ahead was a garden. A very beautiful garden. She could see flowers and fruit trees. She could see birds flying from tree to tree and singing happily. Hailey was lost in admiring the garden.She didn't know when the door opened. She didn't know when Rob came inside and stood beside her. "Beautiful, right?" Rob laughed softly."Mm." Hailey nodded. "It's beautiful," she replied.And in her memory, broken images of a similar garden came in flashes. They were like piece

    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
