Rob halted and dropped his hand. "Goodbye," he said before Hailey could even move. Then Chloe took his hand and they both walked out.

Hailey's eyes followed their back and she staggered with relief. She dropped on a chair and gave Kara a grateful look.

But Kara's eyes were fixed on the entrance where the two just left. No, she was glaring in that direction.

Hailey shook her head and let her eyes land on Sharon.

"I don't see much" Sharon spoke to the customer. She was a woman in her mid-thirties and they were sharing a heated gaze. "It's not hard to guess. Your clothes are average. Your hair looks stuffy. You're a middle-class citizen. You should be honored that I even have the time to pay you attention."

"Hailey, I'm going to send her out." Kara turned to Hailey.

Hailey waved her hand and said, "Leave them alone."

Because the customer was not backing down. She answered Sharon with harsher words and the two continued arguing.

Kara sat on a chair beside her and huffed. "Next time

    Hailey blinked and gulped. She was still in shock and her widened eyes were fixed on Kendrick's. Hell, she couldn't even look away. It was as if his gaze was pinning her into place. "Eavesdropping are we?" Kendrick's face had on a subtle smile. But Hailey knew better. His eyes were stern and his voice was a lot deeper. Hailey blinked again and took a cautious step back. Urgh! This was so embarrassing. The last thing she wanted was to be caught red-handed. "I– I," she stammered but couldn't even form any word to defend herself.Kendrick gave a dark chuckle and an evil smirk made its way to his face.Hailey's heart almost stopped beating. It had been long since she saw this look on his face. It had been long since he even paid her attention. Had she just poked the devil and woke him from his slumber? And most importantly, was she in trouble?Kendrick broke their eye contact, freeing her from his invisible hold. And he let his gaze fall on somewhere else, her stomach.Hailey used tha

    Hailey wasn't ready to listen. No, she wouldn't listen. 'Argh!' she should have seen this coming a long time ago. Now she finally got her answers on why he was acting weird and avoiding her. Shit! He was plotting something big and just waiting for the right time to strike."I told you I don't have any problem, Kendrick. I'm completely in my right mind. Why do I need to see a therapist? Do I look crazy to you?" "You will see her tomorrow.""No, I won't." Hailey gave him a hard stare. Damn! This heartless man, why couldn't he just let her be? Why was he so demanding? Hailey knew what he wanted. Well, she would be a fool to cooperate. "Hailey..."She didn't wait for his next words to reach her ears as she turned around and strode out with clenched fists.It was her fault. Everything was her fault. If she hadn't eavesdropped, maybe he wouldn't have brought this up. But hell, he seemed to have had everything prepared. He even made that phone call. There wasn't any doubt he had asked

    When Hailey walked past the study room, she paused at the door and pushed it open. But the place was empty, no one was inside. So she decided to look for him downstairs, she wouldn't believe he didn't eat breakfast before going to work. He must be in the dining room.She turned around to leave the study room, but something caught her eye from a corner.It was a white bag. Wait– wasn't it the white bag she'd seen the Butler hiding last night? Hailey halted in her footsteps and she started biting at her fingers. Her eyes darted between the door and the white bag which was sitting at the farther end of the couch. 'Urgh.' she let out an exasperated sound and scratched at her head. She had learned her lesson from last night. Kendrick didn't look pleased when he caught her eavesdropping. She had to mind her business.It might be something confidential, therefore, she would only dig a hole for herself. She didn't also like that her curiosity instincts had immediately heightened at the sig

    *****The drones buzzed ahead reflecting several shades of light. Golden color, sapphire blue, and violet. It was perfect. There were thousands of them flying around the tech room. And with one press of the remote, they all converged to the front and formed a circle. Kendrick pressed the switch again, and the machines swirled and the shape transformed into a rectangle. Then came another shape, and another. The drones took various forms with a press of the remote, behind them was the large wall propped as the night sky. And the drones were like the stars, forming outstanding constellations. "Fantastic." A clap sounded in the room as the displays came to a stop. "I told you I'd do a great job, Buddy." Devon stood beside Kendrick and patted him on the shoulder."Good. You did a great job," Kendrick said to his assistant and gave her the remote. "Th–Thank you, Sir. I'm glad you liked it," Rosslyn smiled. "I didn't do much, Mr. Carter has all the credits." "Yes, tell him, Ro." Devon

    "What's bugging you." Devon left the drones alone and came forward. "You look– how should I put it?" His face formed a frown. "You look tired.""Do I?" Kendrick raised a brow. Devon tilted his head and shrugged. "Maybe. I don't know. I should be imagining things." His face creased into a smile then he nodded at the phone in Kendrick's hand. "That phone call. Was that the baby Mama? How is she now?" Still the same? Kendrick wouldn't put it as that. Except for her newfound hobby of sniffing around his secrets, she never showed any riot since her appointment with the doctor. And since that little war in his home. "She's doing well," Kendrick answered. "I bet she is." Devon gave a sarcastic smile. "I have a feeling you're hiding something. You're not all lovey-dovey, I can sense it. You should have gone with my plans you know?" Kendrick shook his head and started walking out of the tech room. If he had used those plans, there was no doubt she would have fled to somewhere even he coul

    *****The Next Day...Hailey woke up to find the bed empty. Urgh! Kendrick was gone again. She really needed to speak with him.Her thoughts went back to yesterday when the therapist visited. Her body shuddered at the remembrance. Urgh! That man. Kendrick was so shameless. She couldn't believe he'd told the therapist everything. And when she said everything, she meant he left nothing out.He had spilled every bit of the information to the lady. Including that night at the bar. And how she had brought doom to herself by throwing herself into his arms. Kendrick did not spare even tiny information. And things were awkward at first. Even though the therapist was a young lady, probably her own age, Hailey found it hard to speak at first.Not when Kendrick had made her seem like the pervert. But then, she had slowly warmed up to the conversation as the lady went on to tell her that she hadn't been the first person to come down with trauma after a first time, especially when it was so sca

    Whatever was in there, it was a top-notch secret. She turned off the stoves as all her cuisines were done one after another. Some staff would come inside and walk out now and then. And even Kara would come to take more snacks out of the fridge.Everyone had been quite busy. No one even paid anyone attention.Hailey was finally done with her work and she sat back on the stool again. She even brought out her phone to play with it, still the therapist's words flooded her senses. She honestly needed to do something about her thinking process. Even Rick came inside to check on her and had paced back and forth in the kitchen. Hailey didn't pay him any attention. If it was in previous days, she would have tried to strike up a conversation with him, even though his answers were always monotonous and their conversation would only stray to his boss. Right now though, the words in her head were even enough to keep her occupied. Time flew by and when the sun was high above the sky, Hailey wa

    They were so beautiful and Oh– she wanted to get one for her baby. "Hailey, come on." Kara tugged at her arm. "Let's make a bet fast before it comes to an end." Hailey swatted her friend's hands off. She didn't want to miss even a second of it. The things had now changed to another shape, they looked like stars in their silver lights. She never expected Kendrick to be interested in techs. Come to think of it, there wasn't even a robot in the mansion. Only his parents seemed to prefer the technology lifestyle. They didn't have a lot of servants but machines were everywhere in the villa. The drones show continued, it didn't seem to stop anytime soon. Hailey had seen drones before. They weren't a new thing. But she had never seen these kinds of designs. If she could covet some for herself– no, her baby. If she could covet some for her baby, that would be fantastic. "Hailey," Kara called her out, snapping her out of her daze. She chuckled and pointed at Hailey's face. "You're dro

    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
