She observed the appearance of the woman, she does not look like an ordinary woman she look wealthy by her appearance she looks like she is take good care of herself and looks very familiar she just cannot remember who or where she saw that face.
"Thank you dear, I got lost and I can't find my way back. I was looking for my son, He must be staying somewhere in this vicinity." She said looking around as searching for somethng.
"I'm sorry Ma'am, I don't know the place also. I can not help you too."
"Are you not from this place my dear? " The woman curiously asked.
"My name is Alina, and no, me and my husband are just spending our honeymoon here."
True to his word Jordan gave his mother a chance to explain herself. "When your Father died in that accident we were supposed to be flying together but I have a new development about my next of kin which is my sister so I told your dad to go ahead together with you and I will just follow but the next thing I heard was he is dead and you are critically wounded. so I wasn't able to meet the person who bear the news about my family. in turn I was the one who was blamed for my family's accident." she explained in between sobs. "Is that why you weren't able to viisit me in the hospital? " Jordan asked grudgingly. "Yes, They file a restraining order for me to stay away from you and your grandpa." "Who are this people? " he asked. "Your relatives on the father side." "How did you know where to find me ?" Jordan saw how reluctant his mother to tell of her informer "Well your grandpa told me.

"Oh no!" Alina had to cursed, the key to the ignition is missing. She looked at the man she had beaten he is still rolling in pain she got out of the car and run, wishing there will be cars passing by who can help her. she runs to the direction where they came from, she is sure to outrun the man since she had won the first place in 100 meter dash in school. She runs as if her life depended on it. "Come to think of it, it really is depended on it but not that much." She thought to herself..Her speed is slower by the difficulty of using a high heeled shoes, she remove it and run bare footed carrying her shoes in both hands. It sure is ticklish. and it was a good thing that the sun is a litlle bit cooler the heat ot the concrete road does feel very offresive to her feet. there was a car sound coming nearer she flaged it down only to realied it is her captors and there was already two of them.She saw the man she kicked holding the car keys and showing it to her mockingly
Alina look around the room for some passage to escape, the house looks like it has long been vacant and dust and dirt sticking on the walls and floors are thick. even the chair she is sitting on doesn't look like it's very strong enough.She noticed that the rays of light that had been visible from the holes in the walls are gone.It must be nightime already she think. In her distress she had been thinking about Jordan does he know what happen to her? Will he stand by his promise that he will watch her back? or will he ignore a troublemaker wife somehow she hope that he is finding ways to know her whereabouts. She didn't realized that her tears are falling in the thought that Jordan will abandone her in the hands of her captors. "Be brave Alina." She consoles herself.After a while the man with the bloodied nose came to give her food. She surveyed the things layed infront of her. there was nothing she can use, all the spoon and fork are made
Alina run to the opposite direction and somehow she was able to reach the highway. But instead of passing on the concrete road she run alongside this is because she doesn't want to be easily spotted by her captors. She was so tired that her speed had gradually decreasing . but this doesn't stop her from continuing. A flash of car headlight from the distance alerted Alina immediately she take cover and hide in the bush. Too late when she saw it's a police car and it already pass her by, she tried to get its attention but it was too far already. Could it be that Jordan reported her missing and the police came looking for her or it is just a random patrol by the police. Tired of running she walk not minding the pain that her feet is getting with her uncomfortable shoes she saw a light in a distance thinking that it was the same police car she flagged it down. When it got nearer she realized she was mistaken, but it's too late to
Alina slept for two days. When she wakes up she was confused to her surrounding. "Ina dear, your awake! How are you feeling? " Her grandma asked. "Where am I? " She looks around and backk to her grandma. "You are in the hospital dear, Jordan had just left for the office. He stayed here for two days watching you, but he has to attend a meeting today so he left . He promised to come back immediately, after he finished." Her grand mother said " How long have I been sleeping grandma? " She wanted to make sure if what she heard was right , Jordan never left her side while she was unconscious. She felt like her body had been run over by a truck. "You had been out for two days my dear." Her grandma smile so glad that she already woke up. althought the doctor reassured her that Alina will be alright, her body is recuperating well, nothing can give her the satisfaction to see that she is already awake.

Alina steered and he pretended to be sleeping to know her reaction while his arms are wrap around her body preventing her to get up. Alina wakes up and saw the face of the man she had seen almost everyday. He studied the face of her husband, the long lashes that would be envy of most ladies who had to attached false lashes just to have the effect. the lips that had never left its imprints from her own, when he kissed her on their wedding day. the smooth chiseled face, that makes her wond
