"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

    She made him sit on the head chair, and carefully uncovered the food then settled the utensils beside the plate. Kendrick stared down at the food with a big frown on his face. "Stop staring at the food like that." Hailey joked and sat on the chair beside him. "It's not poisoned, Ken."Hailey didn't know why but when she mentioned poison, he stiffened. Ignoring his strange act, she blew out a sigh and said, "Can you believe you almost lost me, Hubby? If I have died from the poison, I wouldn't be sitting here today."Kendrick stared up at her and his frown disappeared. "Say what you want to say, Hailey. I don't have all day to listen to your stories.""Alright, but start eating first." Hailey picked up the spoon and put it in his hand. "Or do you want me to feed you? If yes, I'll be glad to–"Kendrick grabbed the spoon and shut her up with another glare, Hailey almost shrank into her chair. She collected herself and sat properly, and seeing that he had started eating, she didn't wai

    "Well... Uhm." Hailey cleared her throat and controlled her hands from strangling him from behind. Damn! This man was breaking her heart. "But we can be a couple, right?" She stopped massaging his shoulders and her hands traveled down his chest. "After all, haven't we passed that barrier already?""Stop it." Kendrick caught her hands and shoved them aside. And Hailey groaned inside. She returned to her seat and folded her hands across her chest. "Ken," she grumbled. "Stop acting this way, I know you want me to stay.""Look at me and repeat that."Hailey looked at him and sighed helplessly. He definitely looked as if he couldn't wait to throw her out."I'm not going anywhere," she said. "If you don't care about my life, I do. I can't go out there and make Rob force me into being his wife."Kendrick paused and dropped the spoon as if losing his appetite. "Rob is rampaging the city at the moment. If he finds me, Ken. You might never get to see me anymore."Kendrick's fists clenched an

    Hailey sat up on the bed and nodded. "I won't let that happen, Kara." The thought of Kendrick taking another wife was doing strange things to her heart. She didn't like that feeling. Damnit! She was really a masochist. Despite him pushing her away, she couldn't control the strange heartbeat or the excitement she felt whenever she saw him. "Ahh, I just hope he brings those two idiots to justice soon." Kara sighed. "I can't wait for that to happen.""Mm. Me too." Hailey rubbed her forehead. After hanging up, she stood up from the bed and toured around the room. It really wasn't bad. And from the large window, she could get a clear view of the swimming pool.Also, as the house was built on top of a hill, she could see the tall skyscrapers from the city close. As if there was not much distance between them. She stood beside the window for a while, then wondered what Kendrick was up to. She left the bedroom and tiptoed toward his room. Pushing the door open, she peeked inside and her

    Maybe he should scold her or teach her a lesson. Or maybe he should do both. "S–Stop giving me that look. Wouldn't you seek my consent first before—"Kendrick lifted the shirt and his eyes darkened more. He hadn't seen wrong. "Y–You." Hailey wrapped both arms around her chest. "This isn't the right way to treat your wife. You shouldn't—""Why are you wearing nothing?" Kendrick kept his tone low. He couldn't believe he was losing it. How dare she go out like this?"Oh." Hailey's eyes went down to her chest. And as if understanding the source of his anger, she looked up and smiled. She was freaking smiling. "You– You ripped it off, don't you remember?" She blinked at him and said innocently. "And I have nothing else to wear inside."He ripped it off. Kendrick shut his eyes, probably to keep his anger at bay. "Don't go out like this, stop distracting the bodyguards." He pulled the shirt back to the way it was before. "Distract the bodyguards?" Hailey held him back when he was about

    Since the weekdays started, he left for work early and returned late. And when she said late, she meant really late. Who returned from work at midnight or dawn? Kendrick must be going somewhere else. Which left her wondering, was he seeing another woman? Hailey shook her head. That was impossible. She'd asked the bodyguards that question before Kendrick interrupted them, and even though they seemed hesitant to answer, they'd assured her that she shouldn't worry about such things. Or, were they lying? They didn't tell her directly that Kendrick was seeing another woman. Deeming it useless to keep waiting in the bedroom, Hailey decided to go downstairs to the living room. Since she was the only one left in the house, the bodyguards hadn't returned yet, she might as well take her time before cooking dinner.And she wondered again. Why did the bodyguards always return before him? Was Kendrick doing something suspicious outside? Should she be worried? Hailey turned on the TV and sa

    It would only break her heart when she remembered those dreams and think back to how he'd doted on her in the past. She quickly finished her food and put the plates away, eagerly anticipating to see what was in that box.What kinds of things had Kara brought for her apart from the clothes?She went upstairs and walked inside her bedroom. The big box sat in the middle of the room, taking up most of the area. And Hailey tore the box seal. She rummaged through it and brought the clothes out. There were no other things. Just her wears. Hailey dropped everything on the bed and after she was done unpacking, she checked out the clothes one after the other. And her eyes didn't stop widening at the sight of each cloth. Some were normal, a majority of them were skimpy clothes, and she was afraid that she wouldn't fit into most of them. What even scared her the most were the nightwears. They made her shudder. There was a note stuck within the box which read,'Believe me, Hailey, you can't l

    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
