However, when she opened the door, she was met with the sight of Ashley throwing her belongings into a large bag, muttering furious words to herself. “Hey Ashley, what are you doing?” Jenny asked with a puzzled frown.
“What does it look like?” Ashely snapped in an unusual snarky manner, while continuing to throw clothes into the bag.
Jenny was taken aback by the time of her voice. “It looks like you are packing up your stuff but I’m surprised which I why I asked. Why are you packing up?”
Ashley whirled around suddenly. Her eyes looked bloodshot, her mascara was smeared with tears and cause black lines to run over her cheeks. She pointed a sharp finger at Jenny. “You ask your brother! Ask your stupid brother!”
“Nicholas? What did he do this time?”
“He broke up with me,” Ash

Diane closed down the files she was working on and proceeded to shut down her laptop. Running her hands through her messy hair, she closed her laptop and placed it on the bed. She stood up and walked towards the dressing mirror. Peering at her reflection, she took in her appearance – the messy hair, her shirt pajamas that was sliding off her arm, her swollen eyes and the bags under her eyes that screamed sleeplessness. She had woken up since three o'clock in the morning and had been unable to sleep bag. She had tossed around on the bed, trying to get herself to sleep but she couldn’t. Instead, images of her special moments with Nicholas kept flashing in her head and it annoyed and saddened her at the same time. Desperately wanting to put her mind off Nicholas and her marriage, she had sat up, picked her laptop and started working on some certain files she needed in the company. It had helped but she couldn’t sleep again. Now, it was six o'clock in the morning

“Hey,” Jayden gave Malvika a tight-lipped smile which she returned with a bright one of her own. It took all his will-power not to scowl at her. He was still very upset about his discussion with Diane earlier today. “Get in,” he instructed Malvika who opened the door to the car and climbed inside.“Hi, Jay,” she greeted, smiling brightly. “Diane told me you wanted to take me somewhere.”Jayden tightened his hands on the wheels. “She did, didn’t she?” He muttered, frowning. “Your seat belt,” he said, nodding in the direction of the seat belt. He waited for her to clip it in before starting the car.“So where are we going?” Malvika asked, her bright smile still on her face. She looked extremely happy; too happy to notice Jayden’s gloomy mood.“For a picnic,” he replied gloomily, his eyebrows still furrowed into a frown.“I’m so happ

Diane sat on the couch in Jayden’s living room, a couple of files and papers spread across the center table in front of her. She crossed her legs and tucked it underneath her, then, spread few more papers and files on her legs. She had a pen in her right hand while her left hand adjusted her glasses.As she flipped through the files, her mind and thoughts wandered aimlessly, distracting her from her work. She shook her head, trying to refocus her thoughts but that was hard as she found it hard to concentrate. She found her self staring at a particular page in a file for more than ten minutes without actually reading anything. Then, when she caught herself, she would have to start over again. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t concentrate. Her mind kept wandering back to the events in her office.Derek Hale. The name popped into her head and she unconsciously gritted her teeth as she thought of him. That bastard of a man. He had resorted to threateni

Diane stared at Jayden, shocked to the bones by his confession. She dropped her hands carelessly to her side and her phone dropped to the ground with a loud clatter. She stared blankly at him, noting the desperation in his eyes. She was unable to talk. Each time she opened her mouth to form words, her mouth would go dry and she would shut it close.“I know this comes as a shock,” Jayden said, panting, “but I just think I should let you know that I love you. I really really love you.”By the time Diane could finally compose herself, the only word she could get out was, “Wow.” Then, she closed her mouth and continued staring at him.“Diane? Please say something,” he begged, desperation laced his tone.Unable to form coherent words or bear the tension, Diane turned on her heels and all but ran out of the living room into her room.

Diane sat close to the window in the cafe, a cup of coffee in front of her. Her arms were folded across her on the table and she tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table. All she could think of was Jayden’s confession last night. She couldn’t believe it? How did she not see it? He was in love with her! How could she not know? Damn it. And all these while she had been pushing him to her sister. Shit.After his confession last night, she left him in the living room and bolted to her room. She needed to think and having Jayden in the same house as her did nothing to help matters.All along, all she could think of was how broken Jayden had looked when he confessed and when he noticed her leaving. He had been nice to her and is this how she was going to repay him? By turning him down? But she knew she couldn’t accept him especially because she had no feelings whatsoever for him. So what could she do?Her phone beeped with a message and when she

Nicholas brought the car to a stop in the garage of the restaurant. He stared at it. It looked like a really small restaurant – not a place he would ever bring a date to. But he wasn’t bringing a date; he was bringing his sister, Jenny and her best friend Ashley. Actually, he planned on taking only Jenny but Jenny had insisted that Ashley came with them. Now, three of them were here. Ashley still refused to grasp the fact that this wasn’t a date or that he didn’t even want her here. She kept bouncing around in excitement and blabbing about how this was just a stepping stone for her relationship with him. Silly, delusional girl.Jenny stared out through the window. “Nicholas, what in the world are we doing here?” She asked in an incredulous tone.“Well, I heard that they make very good pasta, so I thought we would come here to try it out?” He replies, forcing a proper amount of cheerfulness into his tone.“Che

Jayden pushed the door to his house open and he walks in with Diane right on his heels. As soon as he stepped inside the room, he whirled around, grabbed Diane by her waist and slammed his lips across hers.Diane, resisting the urge to cringe backwards, reluctantly raised her hands and wrapped it around his neck. She forced her lips to move in sync with his. As he kissed her, parting her lips with his tongue, all she heard was her own even breathing and Jayden's pants. He seemed to be more into the kiss than she was – actually, he was more info the kiss than she was, grabbing her waist, skimming his hands across her bare it. Even as his hands slid up from her waist to her neck, angling her head to deepen the kiss, all Diane could think of was Nicholas’ tearful face as he pleaded for her to come back to him.Did she do the right thing? Did it make sense to be dating Jayden, someone she obviously considered as nothing more than a friend? No of course not. Yet

Nicholas drove the car to into the compound, parked it properly then climbed out of it, not waiting for Ashley or Jenny. He slammed the door close and headed for the house blinded by fury and pain. Behind him, he could hear Jenny calling out to him but he didn’t reply. He simply stormed inside and walked straight up the stairs but instead of going into his room, he headed for Malvika's room instead. He waits, forced himself to take in deep breaths to calm himself then knocked on the door.The door was immediately thrown open by Malvika. She looked stunned to see Nicholas standing by her door. “Oh,” she said. “Oh….hi….hi. You are…..Come in?” she said.“Thanks,” he replied, briskly brushing himself in while Malvika closed the door behind her.“Um….sit?” she said, gesturing to the edge of the bed and he sat down. “Is there something you wanted? Or….or something you wanted

Unrequited Love EPILOGUE
Diane stood in front of the bathroom mirror, her heart thumping wildly, her hands shaking as she unwrapped the pregnancy test packet. She lowered herself into the toilet seat, raising up her dress and pulling down her panties. Closing her eyes, she placed the pregnancy test instrument beneath and let the urine flow on it and into the toilet. Then, she placed it back on the counter and waited. Just a year ago, and some months after Diane’s kidnap, Malvika delivered her baby boy in an hospital and just as she had promised, she gave that baby to Diane and Nicholas. The baby was named Cameron Alan Langston. Some months after birthing her child, Malvika left as she had said she would and took off for Florida to continue her life despite pleas from her sisters – Natasha and Diane. Diane had been raising Cam for a year and she was enjoying every moment of it. But recently she had begun to feel feverish – vomiting all over the house. No food could stay in her belly. At first she thought it wa
Unrequited Love ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE
A slight sound of movement outside made Diane open her eyes. The entire room was still dark as there was no space for illumination. Her hands and feet were still bound together. Her neck hurt from having bending them in one position for a very long time. The mosquitoes in the room kept biting her and the notes were painful. She had been unable to sleep for a while even with her eyes closed, so when she heard movement in front of the door, her eyes flew open. She fixed her gaze on the door, sensing movements behind it. Her heartbeat increased in fear as she was unable to tear her gaze away from the door. Her fear heightened when someone started to bang something on the door. She began to struggle with her chains, unable to move. “Help!” she yelled. “Somebody, help me!” But the banging increased, until the door was pushed open. She opened her mouth and let out a loud scream when she saw the uniformed men armed to the bones barging in, “Ahhhhhhh…….” “Ma'am, please you can calm down,” On

"Ashley?!" Nicholas exclaimed. Ashley glanced up, her eyes grief and fear stricken. She pushed at the hair that were sticking to her face because of the tears. "Nicholas," she gasped behind her cuffed hands. "Oh my God, Nicholas you are here. I missed you!" She cried. "What are you doing here, Ashley?" Nicholas asked, still shocked and confused. "How....how did you get here?" "I....I was arrested," she mumbled. "For what? How? What did you do?" He threw a series of questions at her, all of which she did not answer. He stared at her, a small frown on his face as something finally clicked. "The cops said they arrested a couple of people who turned out to be a gang. They got an address from these guys and when they got there they found.....you?" He was shocked.....and although he was able to piece it together, he was still very much confused. "I'm sorry," Ashley whispered. "For?" "What happened," she cried. "I....I didn't know at first. She didn't tell me we were going to kill her
Unrequited Love ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN
Diane slowly opened her eyes. She let out a soft groan of pain as she tried to adjust herself on the ground. Her hands kept pulling against the cuffs. She glances around, shuffling her legs. The entire room was dark, except for the ray of light coming in beneath the door. She had spent almost two days in this hell hole that Jenny and Derek had locked her up in. Just yesterday, one of Jenny's goons had placed a call to her family, demanding a ransom. Diane let out a pant. She was feeling hungry and thirsty. Not only that, her entire body was in serious pains. Her body ached to the marrow and she had this massive headache that forced her to wince from time to time. She could not wait to get out of here, yet she had no idea how she would get out. The doors and windows were locked, her hands and feet were handcuffed and there was absolutely no way that she could free herself. Her best and only option was to wait for Nicholas to pay the ransom so she could be released. Just then, the door

“Hey,” Malvika said as she walked down the stairs tiredly. Natasha was sprawled on the couch, tired from her constant crying. Her eyes were red and her cheeks looked swollen. Malvika walked towards her and sat beside her. “Hey, are you still crying?” She asked, looking around the living room. She saw Nicholas standing by the door, talking lowly to someone on the phone. “I’m too tired to cry,” Natasha answered weakly. Her weeping had seeped out every of her energy. She pulled herself to sit up. “What do you think happened to her? She said she was going out and all of a sudden, we couldn’t find her. How did that happen?” “Okay, I need you to calm down,” Malvika said. “The cops are doing everything they can and Nicholas and I are trying our hardest best to find her. We are going to find her, okay?” Malvika tried to reassure her younger sister. She sounded sure of herself, but deep down, her insides crawled with doubt and fear. What if they were never able to find her? Was she so sure th

“Yeah, I don’t think that’s going to be possible,” Jenny says into her phone, pulling the cigarette away from her lips and blowing out a puff of smoke. She was seated on the chair, her legs crossed out in front of her as she listened to her brother ask her to come to the house. “Nick, I really appreciate the invite, but I’m sorry, I’m not going to be able to make it. And by the way, I’m really sorry about Diane.” After a while, she hung up and threw the phone on the table, letting out a sigh. “Nicholas?” Ashley asked as she flipped through a magazine. She glanced up at Jenny, raising her brow. “Yeah.” Jenny let out an exaggerated sigh. “He wants me to come over today,” she said, rolling her eyes. “I’m not going though. I’m in the middle of something,” she said, blowing out a ring of smoke while Ashley chuckled. “Why can’t we go, though?” “We?” Jenny raised a brow? “Who’s we?” she asked. “You and I of course.” “Okay cute, but he didn’t invite both of us. He invited me, his sister.

Malvika sat in front of the car with Nicholas, her nose pressed on to the window as she was deep in thoughts. Beside her, Nicholas drove as carefully as he could, the both of them thinking about Diane. He was driving her to the restaurant where Diane’s cat was found. She had an inkling of what the restaurant was or who might be behind the kidnap but she needed to confirm it first.“What are you thinking about?” Nicholas asked, breaking the silence.She pursed her lips, turning to look at him. Then, she answers, “I might know who could be Diane’s disappearance,” she answered, slowly and carefully, watching his face for any reaction.He darted a surprised glance in her direction. “Really? Who?”“You are not going to be happy about this,” Malvika answerez. She paused, before finally saying, “Jenny.”“What?!” Nicholas sharply pulled the brake of the car in shock, halting it. A loud honk resonated behind them as a car drove angrily past them. “Sorry!” Nicholas called out, before turning ba

“Any news?” Natasha asked as she descended the stairs with Alyssa behind her. Her eyes were red from tears and she rubbed her cheeks to clean them off. Malvika and Grace were seated on the couch in the living room. Olivia was spread across Grace’s leg, sleeping peacefully. They had all stayed in the living room, waiting to here from Diane but heard nothing.Malvika shook her head. “No. Mark and Nick went to the station this morning,” she said.Natasha sighed, slumping on the chair. Alyssa sat down quietly beside her. “But where did she go?”“No one knows.”“She told me she wanted to receive a phone call,” Grace informed them, rubbing her hands slowly round her daughter, Olivia’s back. “That was all. I didn’t see her again.”“Her car isn’t in the garage,” Malvika said. “So, she went with her car.”“But someone must have seen her leave.”Malvika sighed. “We didn’t and we don’t even know who to ask. Hopefully, Mark and Nicholas will come back with good news.”The four of them sat in the

A groan slipped out of Diane’s mouth. Her left leg moved a bit as she struggled to straighten her shoulders. She subconsciously tugged her hands, sensing that they were in some sort of bondage. She let out another groan, this time fluttering her eyes open slowly. Her hazy sight was, however, met with darkness. She blinked twice, glancing around but her gaze met nothing but darkness.What happened? She wondered, squeezing her eyes shut as she tried to remember what happened the night before. With her eyes still shut, an image of her standing in the living room reading Ashley’s text message. She remembered leaving the house and going to a restaurant that looked deserted and out of business. She remembered thinking she would find Ashley there. And she remembered someone hitting her head. The last thing she remembered was blacking out.Oh God.Was she kidnapped? She was kidnapped! They freaking kidnapped her!Did that happen to Ashley too? Maybe that was why she was texting her.
