-Eri Jones-The scent of cigarettes filled my nostrils. I felt my head fallen which was probably the cause of the extreme neck pain I felt.I felt a strong pain at the back of my head and wanted to rub it when I realized my hands wouldn't bulge. It was tied together behind me.Realization dawned on me that I was actually tied to a chair. Arms tied to the back and feet tied together.What was happening? I remembered being hit on the head with something and Hane running towards me.Hane. Oh no, where was she? How was she? Kate would be so worried. Did she end up getting married or came to search for Hane.I opened my eyes, straightening my extremely hurting head.Where was I? The whole place was foggy. Filled with puffs of cigarettes.The air in my lungs choked at the scent. I couldn't breathe normally. The place was obviously too small for cigarettes.But that wasn't my concern at the moment. Where was Hane and was she alright?I noticed a figure strutting through the air of smoke.I s
-Rose Dern-I stared intensely at Eri who had suddenly turned pale, clutching harder to the bedsheet.One might think I was being mean, but I loved Eri more than anything in the world and for as long as June was out there, Eri wasn't safe.Three times! Three times she'd almost died. It was a miracle she was still alive.If she died, it would be too much to handle. I wouldn't be able to move on. Eri's a sister not just a friend and I just can't lose her."Eri—""No." She cut me off sharply."No?" I sighed. I knew this wasn't going to be easy.She stared at me, her gaze softening which warmed my heart. "I understand why you're saying this, it's because you care.""Yes and—""But you should know that as much as I love you two, I'm also in love with Don and can't spend the rest of my life away from him."I bit my lower lip, trying to calm my hurt.Obviously I knew she loved Don, but June loved him more and would do anything to get him."But what if you don't get to live ti—"I only rememb
-Lucy Silvers- I just stared at Rhys pacing back and forth round the room, looking as stressed as ever. He ran his hand through his hair like the billionth time. At this rate, he was going to hurt himself from stress. "Fuck. Shit." That was like the hundredth time he was cussing. "How could she do this? How could she attempt murder three times? Three fucking times?!" "Ah shit." He stopped by the wall, punching it hard, I was certain he was going to be bleeding. Either way, I sat on the bed unmoving. He seemed to notice my behavior because he stopped to stare at me like I was loosing it, when in fact he was the one who looked insane. "Why aren't you taking this seriously?" He creased his brows. "Were you in this with her?" I scoffed barely audibly. "What should I do? Should I roll around the floor, crying and pleading for anyone to find June." From his gaze, it was obvious he thought I was traumatized by losing my only child, but that was so far from the truth. "You know, I k
I stared at all the puzzled gazes directed to me.Don was staring intensely at me, like he was trying to read my mind or something.But the worst gaze was from Rhys and Lucy. They were literally searing holes into my forehead.Jenny just sat on the sofa beside me, her expression unwavering. Her gaze was directed to mostly Lucy."So... why are we here?" Rhys asked after the two minute silence since everyone had settled down.Normally, I wouldn't care to call them even though it had to do with their daughter (you may call me mean, but still, why would I care about them), but I realized since Don is a man of power and so is Rhys.If I can combine both powers, June might be found easily.I turned to Jenny who didn't return the gaze. "Could you please repeat everything you told me earlier today."All stares were directed to her, but she still didn't seem affected. Her gaze was still directed to Lucy."I apologize for not saying this earlier, but Miss Silver is pregnant."I noticed the thre
-Rose Dern-I stared nervously at the black suitcase in my hand.Was I really doing the right thing? I mean, traveling all the way to Canada with a man I hadn't dated up to a month, was that a smart idea?Not to talk of the fact I would be meeting his family. The Mr and Mrs Stan.That thought made me shiver."Enjoy your trip, and don't forget to call, okay?" Suzy pulled me to a warm hug which I returned."Bye now." I pulled apart, allowing the bodyguard to take my suitcase from me, placing it in the boot of the car I entered.I was to head to Darien's place and we'd both head to the airport and get to Canada.The drive to his place didn't stop me from feeling nervous.I tried to convince myself it was just a business trip and we'd just be going to visit his parents. It was nothing serious.The car came to a halt in front of a beautiful and huge mansion.It was way bigger than the one I lived in with Suzy, but it was slightly smaller than Don's.I came out of the car as soon as a man o
-Rose Dern-Stretching on the very soft and comfortable bed, I sat straight on the bed.It had been two weeks in Canada and I hadn't found a reason to regret my decision.Darien hadn't made any move on me yet, which I was comfortable and glad about.We mostly ate, talked and worked.We'd also not met his family yet, but we were supposed to go today and truth be told, I was really nervous.I went to the bathroom in my room, took a shower and brushed my teeth, then came out with a towel wrapped around me.I reached for my suitcase that lay beside my bed. Opening it, I began selecting clothes.I needed to look beautiful to meet Darien's parents. I couldn't just go looking whack, they might just throw me out as they were obviously rich and probably wanted their son's girlfriend to be the same.Finally, after about ten minutes I decided to put on the flare red off-shoulder knee length gown.I sat on the chair in front of the mirror, picking up the brush on the small table in front of me.

-Don Jones-As I was typing on the laptop, I suddenly felt bad for the way I'd treated Eri.I was too busy to give her enough time. She was a human after all and needed some attention.I was sure she thought I'd forgotten about our anniversary, but I hadn't (which would've been the dumbest thing if I had).I didn't want to pay too much attention to it as I'd planned a surprise for our anniversary and I knew myself, if I was to pay too much attention to it, I might ruin the surprise one way or another (as I was terrible at keeping things).The vibrations from my phone on the desk beside my laptop, interrupted my thoughts.I decided to ignore it. I needed to finish work and didn't want any interruptions.Realizing it wasn't nice to ignore messages, I reached for my phone. It could be a client or something.I unlocked the phone, puckering my forehead when I noticed I'd gotten a text from Eri.She barely ever texted me. Why would she do so all of a sudden?I clicked on the message.'Dom,
Three years Later"Oh my Eri, you look stunning." Suzy said, staring at Eri with much brightness in her eyes.Eri stared at herself once more in the mirror of the place they were in.Suzy was right, she did look great. She had on a dark blue spaghetti handle ankle length gown that popped out her curves, showing a moderate amount of her cleavage.Her hair, which had been cut to shoulder and dyed brown, was left to sway on her shoulders and made her look even prettier.The makeup artist had done wonders to her face. She was the definition of beauty."And you don't look too bad either." She threw a glance at Suzy who was dressed in a gray knee length gown that was flared from the waist downwards."Although you'd have looked prettier if you were coming with a man behind you, like seriously you're twenty-four, when would you get a boyfriend."Just like she'd been doing everytime Eri asked her the question, she rolled her eyes. "As I say this, when the right man come-""-he comes." Rose com

-Eri Jones-Since June had been in Dubai, life had been so peaceful.No fear as to where she might be or her stalking me or sending threatening texts. I'd been happy and so was Don.Today, as a way to celebrate our happiness, we'd organized a family dinner. Everyone was invited."How do I look?" I twirled around in the gray flare knee length gown I had on."Beautiful as always." Don's admiring look made me blush."Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself." Hot was the definition of how he looked.He hadn't overdressed unlike I had, still he looked so handsome. Especially since the shirt he wore popped up his biceps and broad chest.Gosh, how did I get this handsome dude to myself alone."I'm so happy June and her insane nature is somewhere else." I stared at myself in the mirror, picking a brush from the desk beside it, brushing my hair."Has she been found?" I continued brushing my hair."Not yet, but I'm sure she'd soon be found." He sounded so certain, I had to be assured."Well
