"Hailey." Rob sighed and made her look up. "Don't worry, Mum and Dad won't stay here for long. They're going to depart soon."

"Oh." Hailey nodded and buried herself deeper into the blanket. And she had the urge to ask him what he discussed with his mother.

Why was the house suddenly quiet? Why wasn't the woman coming for her head?

But Hailey waited first. She waited to see if he would bring it up.

"Rob," she called out his name. "Could you ask your Mum to stop saying mean words?" She said softly.

Even though Hailey tried to reason with the woman, she could feel inside her heart that she didn't have any bad intentions toward anyone.

Rob was sitting beside her on the bed. And he narrowed his eyes at her request.

"I only want her to stop labeling me as a bad person," Hailey explained. She always felt some discomfort whenever his mother said those words.

"Hailey." Rob shifted and he held her hand through the blanket. "I told you they will be gone soon," he said softly. "Don't worry

    "Your mother-in-law?" Kara frowned, then her expression turned to an agitated one. "Urgh, don't tell me that his parents still bully you, Hailey. Why can't they leave you alone already?"Hailey pressed her lips together to suppress another sigh. Kara seemed to know about Rob's parents too. Maybe the couple had also bullied her in the past."Why don't you tell your husband," Kara suggested. "I'm sure he'll do something about it."Hailey wiped her hands clean and leaned against the counter. "He doesn't want to talk about it." Hailey shook her head slowly. "He only said that they'll be gone soon.""Really? Did they move to your house?" Kara asked and Hailey nodded. "That's bad." Kara shook her head. Then she placed a hand on Hailey's shoulder. "Since your husband said that they'll be gone soon, just exercise a little more patience. Also, understand why they're probably mad at you. Didn't you say that they prioritize the baby— I mean, they should be heartbroken about what happened, rig

    ***Hailey returned home from the diner, hoping she could speak with Rob about it. If she waited for the event to be close, he might not be pleased that she was telling him too late. Too bad, Rob didn't pick her up today. He had phoned her while she was still at the diner. He told her that he had to go somewhere important. And for the first time, Hailey had to take a taxi home, alone. Rob had texted her the house's address, but she didn't need that. She could tell the driver the direction of the house off head. And she did that successfully.Hailey had been proud of herself all the way. But her happiness was short-lived. Her heartbeat became faster as the car neared the house. For the first time, she was going to be in the house alone with Rob's parents. And Rob wouldn't be around. Although he hadn't been of much help in evading his parents' attack on her, she at least felt more secure in his presence. "What are you doing standing there?" Rob's mother's yell was the first thin

    But before Hailey could pick up the card, the woman reached for it first."This looks expensive." She scrunched up her nose. "Tell me, you brat. Who gave it to you? Why does it have a phone number on it?"Due to the woman's commotion, Rob's sister and father had already appeared at the scene. And they watched without any care in the world as the woman berated Hailey non-stop."Is this what you use to communicate with that man? Is this his number?""No." Hailey shook her head quickly and got up from the floor. She didn't even know the man Rob's mother was talking about. And afraid that she would seize the card just like the money, she hurried toward her and held the card. "Please give it back," Hailey pleaded. "This isn't from a man, it's from a friend of mine and I need it."But Hailey's plea only seemed to enrage the woman further. She held on tight to the card and pulled at it. "Let go of it this instant!" The woman yelled. "Are you afraid that this is going to expose you? I'll

    "I would have simply gone to a mental facility for the holiday. It might be more fun. Can't believe I have to be caught up in the middle of all this. I hate being dragged into matters that have nothing to do with me."Cassie did not allow Hailey to voice out her confusion. She looked annoyed as she muttered those words under her breath. And Hailey followed her in silence. When they got down the stairs and reached the living room, Cassie turned back with a roll of her eyes and simply walked back to the stairs. And Hailey watched the scene in front of her, her heart thumping again. Rob's parents were sitting on a couch and Rob stood in front of them. They seemed to be scolding him. The only thing that brought ease to Hailey's heart was that Rob was present. His parents' glare just awakened the fear inside of her."And she didn't bat an eye before cutting me," Rob's mother was complaining. She sobbed and showed her finger to Rob. The finger which was now wrapped in a thick cloth. "S

    And all of a sudden, Hailey didn't know what happened next. One moment, she was standing beside Rob, and the next moment, she was on the floor with both palms on her cheeks. She couldn't register anything for a few seconds. Her cheeks burned and her eyes hurt with hot tears. There were also voices in her head, indistinct voices. "R–Rob." Hailey lifted her head, hoping that it wasn't he that slapped her, it must be his father.But Rob's father never left the couch, and Rob towered over her, staring down at her with rage in his eyes. "I warned you not to talk back."Hailey hadn't come to terms with her shock yet. She stared at him in a daze, but he pulled her off the ground and shook her. "I have warned you several times, Hailey. How dare you speak to them like that?"Instantly, her vision became blurry. A sob left her lips and her tears fell rapidly. She never saw this coming. She never thought that Rob would believe his parents. Helplessness and grief compounded in her heart.

    This new feeling was familiar. There was no doubt, she almost had a baby. She could feel it in her heart that she'd experienced this feeling of loss before. "B–But how?" Hailey demanded. How did she lose her baby? What exactly happened? Rob's sadness grew, his expression looked more sullen than ever. He led her to the bed and sat her down."Remember the story I told you about how you developed this illness?" He sat beside her and asked. Hailey wracked her brain and searched for her memory. She could still remember him telling her the story, however, she had forgotten about the details. "You've forgotten," Rob said calmly as if he was expecting that.And he told her the story again. He told her about how she'd wanted to work in a company and she met with a tyrant boss. Her boss abused her mentally and made her life hell. She fell pregnant during those moments, and because he overworked her day and night, she ended up having a miscarriage. Her pregnancy was only three months old.

    Run as far as she could?Hailey stood confused in the middle of the room. What sign did Cassie talk about and why did she need to run? Just when she thought Cassie must be at least cooler than her parents, it turned out every member of Rob's family was weird in their own way. While Rob's mother would jump at any opportunity to pick a fight with her, his father was always at his wife's beck and call even if she was wrong. And Rob. Well, he had no choice but to act as if he didn't care about her in his parents' presence. While Cassie was the strangest of them all. She uttered words Hailey wouldn't understand.Although her marriage with Rob didn't seem to settle well with her also, why would she tell her to run instead of outrightly asking her to leave her brother alone?Hailey scratched the back of her neck as those confusing thoughts played in her head. She left the room and carefully pulled the door close. Then she walked down the hallway heading to the stairs. She met Rob's paren

    Hailey turned the doorknob and pulled it backward. And she almost jumped when, instead of Rob, Rob's mother appeared in front of her."Are you going to take the whole day getting ready?" The woman pushed past Hailey and walked into the room. "If it was my choice, I wouldn't have asked you to accompany me. But you're more suitable for that job. Instead of needing a cart, you will carry everything I'll need."As she spoke, her eyes surveyed the room and she touched everything that came into her view. She touched the lamp on the bedside table. She touched the frames on the wall. She even went to the vanity mirror and touched Hailey's make-up things. "Why is it that this room is bigger than the one we live in?" She looked at the ceiling and shook her head. "Your bed is also too big. Do you share this bed with my son? You don't make him sleep on the floor I guess. You should sleep on the floor sometimes, you know?"Hailey tiptoed toward her bag which was on the bed. Beside it lay the sta

    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
