***

What was he thinking anyways?

She was an actress, an Oscar-winning one at that. Fooling people was her hidden talent.

Wasn't it rather useless for her to pursue a career as a chef?

Damnit! He needed to stop thinking about her.

Or more correctly, he should stop thinking about that night.

Kendrick had convinced himself that she wasn't the girl dancing on the stage. How provocative.

But his eyes didn't lie. He saw them in the hallway and they fled.

Was her acting done?

Wasn't she supposed to keep groveling, begging him to take her back?

As if he would ever do that.

Ridiculous.

Kendrick swiveled his chair and focused on the window overlooking the city. He couldn't get any work done and he didn't give a damn about it.

Hailey, that woman.

Oh, he couldn't wait for her retribution. And it was coming soon.

So much with begging him. So much with regretting about endangering the child.

She was out partying, she even dared to have fun in such a short period.

What if he'd saved his

    "Ken," Sharon whispered in his ear. "How could you let her mess with you? If you let her go free, isn't it unfair to your baby? You shouldn't divorce her with compensations, you should have allowed her to have a taste of her own medicine."Her fingers were now tracing down his chest and Kendrick caught her wrists. "Is that what brought you here?" He gritted out. "Th– That's not all, Ken." Sharon bit her lips and wriggled her hand free. "I'm here to tell you that you don't have to marry any girl Uncle or the shareholders propose. You know what they will be after. On the opposite, I won't ask for anything, Ken. All I want is to be with you. We don't have to hold a grand wedding, we can just announce it to the public and I'll move in with you.""Get out." Kendrick pushed her away and closed his eyes. "Now," he added. But Sharon remained standing. She sniffed and sobbed silently. "Ken, I know you need someone to be with you right now. I can be whatever you want. Just— Just let me be y

    Yesterday, she'd been apprehensive that she might wake up today and forget everything. But her memory was still intact. Not even a scene of what happened at the diner and the previous day was absent from her mind. Footsteps came from the stairs and she could hear the voices of her sister and Rob. "Well, you shouldn't have left me stranded there when you knew that you were not going to return.""That's because I was busy.""Busy with what? Are you seeing other women?""Why would I do that?""You're fond of speaking the opposites of what you mean nowadays, Rob.""You're saying that because you know nothing.""How about you enlighten me? Even if I know nothing, I can clearly see what's going on.""Chloe, you lack patience.""Oh, so you can say that now. For how long should I keep being patient?"As the two bantered, Hailey rubbed her forehead and sighed. Now that Chloe had returned, the house would turn into a small warfare again. What were they even arguing about? "Sister, you're u

    Hailey stared at him in silence and shook her head."I don't think you need to worry about that anymore, Rob. I think I'm recovering a lot, so there's a small chance of me forgetting.""You're recovering?" Rob gave her a confused look. He looked as if she had just spoken alien words. "I'm telling the truth." Hailey gave him a wide smile. "I no longer forget things, Rob. Since that day you took me to the diner, I can recall every detail."Surprise flashed in Rob's eyes before his frown returned. "Love, this is not a trivial matter. How should I know you're saying the truth?""We had a visitor yesterday, her name is Sharon. After I brought her water and juice from the kitchen, she spent some hours with us and we watched TV and..."Hailey went on recounting to him everything that had happened, and she wondered why he only looked more confused. "I'm telling the truth," she finally said in the end. "Ask Chloe about it and she'll tell you the same thing. Don't you believe me up till now

    Visitors that would spend some time with them? Did that mean she could interact with more people?"Who are they? And when are they going to come?" Hailey asked eagerly. If she could have more people to interact with, that would be great. "I don't know when they'll arrive exactly," Rob replied. "It should be within the week.""This week?"Hailey asked and he gave her a nod. "Yeah, this week," Rob answered. Then he held her chin and made her look up at him. "While they're here, you have to be obedient, okay? They're my parents. We have to make them happy.""I can't wait to meet them." Hailey smiled. His parents. They must have met in the past, right? She wondered what kinds of people they were. She wondered if they liked her. Hailey picked up the remote and turned on the TV. Now she had two reasons to be happy. She could go to the diner, and Rob's parents were going to visit. Her eyes wandered to the kitchen's direction and she wondered why Chloe hadn't come out yet. Maybe she

    ~~~The next day, Hailey got prepared and left for the diner. Rob didn't stop reminding her about taking her medication which he had put inside her bag. He kept on repeating the words on their way to the diner until Hailey had memorized each word. After dropping her off, Hailey watched the retreating figure of his car for a while before she sighed. Should she seek the doctor's appointment and explain how she'd improved while taking three pills?But Rob knew better. He explained that the three pills were an overdose. To make it work properly, she needed to take two pills in a day. Hailey walked inside the diner, hoping that somehow things would turn out like the other day. Maybe the effect of her memory improvement wasn't from the drugs. Maybe it was because she got to interact with so many people. Hopefully."Hailey!" Kara's scream of excitement was what welcomed Hailey. She dashed forward and embraced her tightly. "Hailey, I'm so relieved that you're back. Where did you go th

    She glanced at the time. It was already afternoon. And she took out a water bottle from the fridge and spotted a couch in a corner inside the kitchen. She sat down on the couch and brought out her pills bottle from her bag. Instantly, Rob's warning began echoing in her mind and she brought out two pills and swallowed them with the water. Hailey wasn't properly settled on the couch yet. She fell asleep instantly after swallowing the pills. And soon, those two words invaded her senses. She dreamt about a deep voice uttering those same words. "I like this docile side, but you know what I love the most? Your fiery side."In her dream, she was sitting on someone's lap and strong hands were wrapped around her waist and her stomach. Was that Rob? And why did she feel some discomfort in her stomach? Most importantly, why did she feel so happy at that moment? Those words weren't supposed to incite any emotions from her, but hearing that voice say it, she could feel strange emotions bu

    Even her dress did nothing to hide her curves. And the stones that outlined her sunshine-kissed dress also sparkled. Her bag was of the same shade as her heels; the color of the stick Kara had just applied on Hailey's lips. Her dress and accessories complimented each other perfectly. "Stop checking her out, Hailey. You're a woman for goodness sake," Kara tugged at Hailey's hand and whispered in her ear. "But gosh! I hope I'm not drooling. If she isn't a model, I'm going to eat dust."Surely a model. Hailey nodded slowly. Someone this beautiful must be a model. But who was a model?Hailey broke out of her trance when they reached the table. And Kara cleared her throat. "Hehe, here is the chef behind this masterpiece, Ma'am." She pushed Hailey forward and said. "She's the one that deserves your compliment.""Mm." The lady checked Hailey out. "I had a great time eating your meal, Dear." She stood up and smiled. "I knew stopping by here wasn't a mistake." "It is my pleasure, Ma'am.

    "And he's putting everything under my name." She gazed up at him and fluttered her eyes. "But I don't want anything to do with my father's achievements." She sighed softly. "All I want is a nice husband who will handle it the way he'll handle my heart. And in this vast city, only you are capable to do that.""That's absolutely right," one of her minions butted in, again."Ken and Maria are a match made in heaven. With your formidable backgrounds, your union is going to be the envy of every family in this city."Kendrick pushed the teacup away and rested back on his chair. "Jonah," he grumbled out the house steward's name. The man in a white uniform hurried up to him. "You called, Master. Do you need anything?"Kendrick's eyes swept across the three ladies and he opened his mouth. "I want a peaceful atmosphere and many bees are flying around. Fix it.""A–As you wish, Master," the man answered then he faced the ladies. "Master wants some rest, Ladies. Could you please excuse him for

    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
