Then he felt something. Something soft was pressed into his body. An even softer one was wrapped around his neck, tightly.

Warm breaths caressed his chest, his bare chest. And a wave of black hair spread across the pillow and some portion rested on his arm.

Also resting on that arm was something soft. A soft flesh, a warm one.

His throat went dry at that moment. He should still be in the nightmare.

But his eyes were now opened and he could see his surroundings. His other hand moved and he found it holding on to something small, her waist.

Then she snuggled into him, burying deep in his embrace. And that was when he realized something. She was clothless and so was he. Except for the sheet, not a fabric of clothing was on their body.

Everything stilled, his heart stopped beating. Her face appeared in his view and he was thrown into confusion as well as speechlessness and more dread, a bigger dread.

'Hailey.'

Was he seeing things?

As if scorched and burned at once, he jerked up and

    Hell, he didn't need to be asking that. Her answer would only confirm his thoughts of her. Was she fed up with her marriage again? Did she switch men that easily?"Hailey!" He grabbed her arm and hauled her against him. Hell! He should have thought twice before doing that. "You claimed I initiated this contact." And he couldn't refute that. "For that, I will let you go. Now get out of my sight and find other men to be frivolous with.""But Ken—""I haven't forgotten your baseless accusations in the washroom, and I won't go back on my vow to get back at you. I am giving you the chance to leave, Hailey. Get out of this place, now."Hailey's brows furrowed and her hands came up to hold his. "The washroom incident was a misunderstanding, Ken. I– I swear I wasn't in my right mind. Rob, that idiot brainwashed me."Right. His assumption was right. She was fed up with her marriage already. And true, she wasn't in her right mind. Even now, she wasn't. "Believe me please, Ken." She gave him

    ***Urgh! Her head was throbbing. It ached so much. Damnit! Her whole body ached like hell. Kendrick that beast. That insatiable maniac. Hailey wanted to open her eyes, instead, she squeezed it shut and held her forehead. It hurt. She couldn't believe she'd been married to a jerk. He'd made her a promise and he fulfilled it. All she wanted was for them to get even, but it turned out to be a bad idea. He'd devoured her non-stop, she even lost count of the hours. And she ended up begging and begging again, but hell! He didn't let her go. He didn't listen to her pleas.In the end, her body had to help her. She fainted, and everything stopped. Hailey couldn't feel her limbs. She couldn't feel any part of her body. All she felt was an ache. And the ache in her waist was worse. Would she even be able to walk? Attempting to swallow her saliva, Hailey could only feel an empty dry throat. Her throat was parched. She forced her eyes open and a dark sky loomed above. Tiny dots of sparkli

    She practically looked like a stuffed doll with the big shirt and trousers. Well, it would do. At least, her whole body was covered. And where in the world did that man go? He didn't possibly abandon her here and leave the house, right? Living up to his title as the king of jerks. Her stomach growled and Hailey ran her fingers through her hair. The towel wasn't enough to make it dry. She limped out of the bedroom and appeared in the hallway. Then she met a bodyguard coming her way. "M–Madam." The guy's eyes widened a bit. He was holding a broom and a mop in his hands. Was he cleaning? Hailey frowned and looked around the sparkling place. Wasn't he wasting his energy? Unless he wanted to turn the floor into a slippery slope."Where is Kendrick?" She asked. The bodyguard scratched his head and looked away from her face. "Boss left the house some hours ago."Shit! Hailey clenched her fists. Kendrick really was the king of jerks. "When will he be back?" She asked. The bodyguard

    Then she dialed Kara's number and placed it on her ear. "You can go ahead and bring me food." Hailey nodded to the bodyguard.Her stomach was still grumbling, the hunger was unbearable. While the bodyguard walked away, the phone rang. It was picked up instantly from the other end then came Kara's voice. "Hello, who is it!?" Kara sounded anxious.Hailey sighed and said, "It is I, Kara–""Hailey!" Kara exclaimed. "Where have you been, Hailey? I dialed your Mum's number but the phone was off. Your Mum and I are so worried. You left in the morning to see your husband and you didn't come back. Why did you call with another number? Are you alright, Hailey?""I'm fine, Kara." Hailey played with the soft material of the shirt. "I got your contact from Rick. I'm still at Kendrick's.""Really?" Kara sounded relieved."Yeah." Hailey nodded. "Chloe sent people to snatch the phone when I left your apartment. That's why—""Wait. Damnit!" Kara cursed. "Chloe snatched the phone? Does that mean she

    Kendrick dawned three glasses at once. Sharelene and Hailey seemed to be close. The bodyguards revealed to him that Hailey mentioned her name. "No." Kendrick shook his head. Did he need to pick a date? Who knew who told his father about her? The next thing he knew after she met him at the company was the man giving him a call and asking to meet with the president. "Don't give me that look, Buddy." Devon laughed. "Rosslyn didn't tell me anything."Well, Kendrick didn't need to look further for the culprit. Devon was the only person that could reveal such things to his father. And Rosslyn was the only one present at his last meeting with Sharelene. His friend had already corrupted his assistant. She must be too late to be redeemed. "The shareholders are getting anxious by the day, Buddy. Some of them even tried buttering me up. As if I can convince you to marry one of their daughters."The shareholders were surely getting anxious. Kendrick had blocked any way they could use to cont

    "I thought you wanted no competition.""Do I have one now?""You don't," Kendrick answered. Sharelene released his arm and went back to holding his hand. "I don't want you to go back on your promise to my father. The choice is no longer in my hand, it has now become a duty.""What if the choice was still in your hand?"Sharelene stared into his eyes and smiled. "We would still arrive here. I know what is happening and your secret is safe with me. All I want is contentment, Ken. That is what we should be seeking from each other."The elevator opened and they stepped into the parking lot. "Would you give me that contentment?"They halted in front of his car. "Whatever you ask for will be yours."Sharelene smiled then entered the driver's seat when he pulled the door open. "I will drive. You seem a bit out of yourself tonight."Kendrick left the door and walked to the other side. "The bodyguards will take my car home," she said as he sat in the driver's seat. Kendrick nodded and c

    She picked at her food, eating it slowly, and wishing that by the time she was done eating, he would have returned home already. Her neck was stiff from glancing at the wall clock again and again and she blew out an exasperated sigh. After eating and putting away the plates as well as Kendrick's untouched food, Hailey took a tour of the house. The backyard was no less than the front yard, and she wandered toward the swimming pool to have a closer look. It was covered by a glass, looking unused. She could swear that no one had ever stepped foot in this area. What a pity. Hailey lingered in the swimming pool area for a while. And when she was bored staring at the crystal blue water, she decided to leave the place.But instead of using the back door which she had followed here, she decided to walk round the corner of the house, heading to the front yard where the bodyguards were patrolling and chatting among themselves. "Madam, do you need anything?" The bodyguard who she had take

    "I'm not crazy, Ken. I swear there's a reason behind all that. If you could just not throw me out, if you could just listen to me, I'm going to tell you everything.""How should I believe that you're not lying?" Kendrick glared at her. "Weren't you all over your so-called new husband? If you had a misunderstanding, you better go and resolve it. Believe me, I'm not patient enough to have my time wasted by strangers."Strangers? Hailey swallowed down the hurt. To him, she was now a stranger. What the hell had she done to this man? Why did he dislike her this much?"I don't have any other husband. I'm in my right sense, and I definitely am not lying. If I have another husband, do you think I would let what happened between us yesterday occur?""I don't trust you.""Why do you hate me this much!" Hailey fought herself from yelling. "Just listen to what I have to say. I don't have any other husband apart from you. Rob and I were never a couple."And she detested saying that monster's name

    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
