"That should do, Love," Rob answered. Hailey couldn't make out his expression, but she was sure that he was smiling at the moment.

The dizziness increased and she longed to lie down.

"Let me settle you in a comfortable position." Rob's voice floated from a distance. He stood up and tucked her into the bed.

Hailey fluttered her eyes still fighting the sleep.

The door opened and she could hear her sister's voice. She couldn't make out what Chloe was saying to Rob.

Rob covered her with the blanket and as Hailey's eyelids closed, Chloe's voice increased in the background and they both left the room.

Even in her sleep, Hailey could hear their indistinct voices from a distance. They seemed to be arguing. Or maybe they were arguing. Otherwise, she was only dreaming about two people arguing.

In her dream, the male voice was deep and demanding, and the female voice was loud. She was crying.

Hearing her cries made Hailey's heart ache.

The lady seemed to be begging the man. She didn't kno

    It had been long, in fact, almost a year since he smoked. It surprised him that it'd become an addiction in such a short time. He walked back to the window and stared down at the city below. It was bustling. Everywhere screamed with liveliness. It was as if he was in a different world. A world secluded by the nest of gloom and heavy rains.Maybe he deserved this torture. He deserved it for choosing her over his own blood and flesh. His parents were enraged. His mother was sick. And the shareholders were waiting for him to make a mistake. The door to his office opened. No knocks. This was the way she had barged in that day. And Kendrick's eyes snapped to the door. But the person that made his way in. It was only Devon. "Buddy— Argh! My eyes." Devon put on a pained expression and covered his eyes. And Kendrick ignored him and returned his eyes to the city below. "If you give me that glare one more time, Buddy. You're going to lose a precious friend." Devon sauntered forward. "

    "Whoa!" Devon exclaimed and put both hands up in a peaceful gesture. "Don't misread my words, Buddy. I didn't mean to rub salt into injury. All I want is Rosslyn. I've dived into many oceans of love, but none tasted as sweet as hers. Please save your dear buddy's heart from running after temptations. I'm very serious about Rosslyn."Kendrick tossed the broken pen into the trash and picked up a new one. "Rosslyn holds the power to make her own decisions." He picked up the document and it also ended up in the trash. "Stop bothering me. I have important things to do.""Are you sending me off?" Devon faked a surprised look. "I can stay all day accompanying you, you know.""No need.""But come on," Devon whined. "No one even knows where you live nowadays. I heard some employees gossiping that you sleep in the company. Is that true?""None of your business.""But you could fall sick. If you spend all day and night in the company, you'll be tempted to work without taking a break."If only K

    "Who cares about your opinion." Chloe pursed her lips. "Look, Sis." She brought out her phone and showed Hailey the screen. "I just got invited to perform in an advertisement commercial. They want me to be there in thirty minutes. I better go and wash up.""Oh, you should hurry then." Hailey nodded eagerly. "Don't keep them waiting.""Love you, Sis." Chloe gave her a quick hug before hurrying upstairs. "Hailey." Rob sat beside her. "Chloe has started getting endorsements again. She will be absent from home frequently. Aren't you going to be lonely?""Yeah." Hailey nodded slowly. "But that isn't a problem." She smiled. "Chloe needs to work on her career, I'll be alright. You also shouldn't stress yourself to look after me always, I think I'll recover soon.""Really?" Rob frowned. "Uhuh." Hailey nodded. "I don't miss my medication, I strictly follow the doctor's advice. So, very soon, I will be able to do everything on my own.""Good." Rob chuckled. "Don't miss your medication, Hailey

    In front of her was a huge screen. "A computer." Her mind told her that was what it was called. She tapped on the small keys below it waiting for the screen to become bright just like the TV.And when it didn't, she decided to tap on all the keys. In no time, Hailey didn't even know which key she had tapped, but the screen lit up. The first image that appeared in her view was her face. There was a photo of her with Rob inside the computer. In this photo, she was no longer a teenage girl. She wore a big overall and a large hat. She was also holding a scroll in her hand. Hailey squinted her eyes and focused on the background of the photo. There were many other people, and there were tall buildings behind her. Some of the people wore a similar gown while others were only dressed in simple clothes. Graduation. Just like a lightning bolt, the word popped up in her head. It was her graduation. She took this picture with Rob on her graduation day. Hailey laughed softly, happy that

    The lady stopped and looked from side to side. Then she held out her hand and stopped a taxi. "This hand..."Hailey stared down at her own hand. They almost looked alike. Who was this lady? And was it the same lady from the rain? "Hailey, what are you doing?" Hailey shuddered, hearing the anger in that voice.She sprang up to her feet and her eyes were met with Rob who had already entered the study and was approaching her in large strides. His eyes were wide and they darted between her and his computer before he shut it close with a loud sound. Hailey's heart began beating more than normal. Had she angered him? Was he mad? "I'm so sorry, Rob." She fiddled with her hands. "I– I didn't know..."She didn't know what she was doing here.Rob unclenched his fists and his shoulders relaxed. His expression also relaxed to a normal one. "It's alright," he said softly. "Come here." He spread one arm and Hailey hesitated before treading toward him. "Look at me." Rob pulled her close an

    "Somewhere else?" Rob knitted his brows together. "You really want to go out, uh?"Hailey nodded. "Don't we know other people? I have some friends, right?""Yes, you have friends," Rob answered. "Hailey, you've already asked about that."Hailey made an oh sound and nodded in agreement. Then who were her friends? And why couldn't she recall their names?"Alright, I'll take you to visit your friend," Rob said. "Go inside and wash up. I'll be waiting downstairs."Hailey's expression brightened. She clapped her hands and nodded eagerly. And before Rob walked away, she ran back to the bedroom to wash up. After that, she came to the room which Rob had called her room. She entered her closet and picked up something to wear. The closet was filled with dresses of different styles and colors. Although Rob had said that they all belonged to her, they looked as if they were newly made. She even found some of them inside their bags. "I'm ready." Hailey came downstairs and found Rob in the dini

    "You met each other when you first come down with this illness," Rob answered. "At the hospital?" Hailey brought her attention to him. "Yeah." Rob smiled. "You were suffering from the same kind of illness. But hers is worse.""Really?""Yeah." "Does that mean she hasn't recovered?" Hailey asked. And suddenly, she didn't know if she wanted to meet that friend or not. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to visit someone who could forget things as quickly as her?"Well, she has recovered, somehow," Rob replied. "But I can't say fully," he added. "She does things like normal people, but the problem is the way she talks. Don't worry, Love. She doesn't forget things as you do."At Rob's reassurance, Hailey relaxed and sighed in relief.But what was with her speech pattern and why didn't she forget things like her? Didn't he say that they suffered from the same kind of illness?As if reading her thoughts, Rob continued speaking. Maybe he wasn't done yet. "Even though her condition is worse th

    Hailey struggled out of the lady's tight hug. Her bright eyes were brimming with tears and she blinked rapidly."Kara?" Hailey whispered. There was no doubt this was Kara. The friend that Rob talked about."You've been gone for more than two weeks, where have you gone to, Hailey? Why didn't you return to my apartment that day?"Hailey listened to Kara's ranting, unable to understand a word she was saying. Then she sighed and started wiping her tears. "It's okay, stop crying. I'm here now and I'm happy to see you."Rob told her to play along, and it seemed to be working. Because Kara's expression brightened immediately. "I'm also happy to see you, Hailey. Hell! I'm the happiest girl on earth right now. Just don't repeat that. I live every day in fear and regret. I thought I've scared you off after that argument. Maybe I shouldn't have attempted to talk you out of chasing after your husband."Her husband? Hailey struggled to keep her smile. "It's alright, I'm not mad," she replied.

    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
