Unrequited Love SEVENTY FOUR
Jenny and Ashley decided to celebrate by going to the bar, just the two of them alone. They wanted to celebrate the fact that they were finally getting rid of the Matthews Sisters. First, it was Malvika. Next, would be Diane. Natasha wasn’t a bother to them. She never was. Wherever her elder sister went, she would go to.The two of them – Jenny and Ashley – walked into the bar both wearing a pair of mini skirt and a sleeveless top that stopped right in the middle of their boobs.They walked to the counter where the bartender was standing, mixing drinks. The bartender beamed when he saw them. He knew Jenny. She was a regular customer. “Hello, Jenny,” he greeted. “I see you brought a friend.”“Hey, what’s up, Lenny?” Jenny grinned at him. “Lenny, this Ashley, she’s a friend, like you said.”Ashley waved at Lenny and he smiled at her, then, said to Jenny, “Right, what would you have?”“We could both use a whiskey tonight,” Jenny said and Ashley nodded beside her. Lenny nodded at them and

Malvika decided to stay in the hotel today. She encountered massive disappointments the previous day and she didn’t want a repeat. Besides, she and Haley made plans to catch a late breakfast and Haley has already said she would meet her in front of the hotel. Malvika certainly thought that was better than going on another fruitless job hunt.So, instead of waking up early like she did yesterday, she slept in late and woke up around eight o'clock. Then, she went to take her bath and freshen up, after which she slipped on some clothes she thought was proper for going out with a friend. It was a red tank top and a black mermaid skirt. Then, Malvika sat down and waited for Haley.Haley didn’t drop a phone number. She only said to meet Malvika at the hotel, so Malvika assumed she would come to her room. However, Malvika didn’t know how long Haley would take.Around nine o'clock, Malvika heard a knock on her door and she stood up, walked briskly to it and pulled it open, glad to see Haley s

Jenny stormed into the restaurant, pushing the door open and slamming it close loudly. Her actions caused the guys sitting together in a close knitted circle at the table, some drinking and some smoking, to look at her. She paused, glaring angrily at them at first, but then, she walked towards them and slammed her fist against the table with a loud smack that could make even the bravest person flinch but not one of the men moved. They simply stared at her with stoic looks on their faces.They were all used to Jenny’s temper tantrums by now, so, they simply stared at her not saying a word.She glared at them harder for that. “What are you looking at?” she snapped.One of the men just shook his head and asked, “Jen, what do you want?” in an exasperated tone. Jenny could be overbearing sometimes. Up till now, none of the men ever understood why their boss allowed a woman into the gang. Jenny was the first and only woman to be in the gang. And to the guys, Jenny was such a……..a woman.“I

The car screeched to a stop in front of Diane’s company and Nicholas climbed out, securing the lock of the door before walking into the company. Immediately the receptionist, Ariana, saw him, she rose to her feet, a polite smile on her face as she said, “Good morning, Mr. Langston. How may I help you today?”Nicholas instructed himself to play it cool. This wasn’t going to be like the last time when he almost terrified the girl, forcing her to let him see Diane. “I am here to see…..” he wanted to say 'my wife,' but he quickly stopped himself and instead, he said, “Miss. Matthews.”Ariana was a little surprised by how he addressed Diane. The last time he was there, he had been ranting about how Diane was his wife and how he didn’t need an appointment to see his wife. Now, he was referring to her as 'Miss Matthews'? Maybe there were already finalizing their divorce. “Hmm…. Ahem,” she cleared her throat. “Do you have an appointment?” she asked.Nicholas let out a sigh. “No, but it is ext

The doorbell rang and Natasha pulled herself out of the couch to go and open the door. Ever since the fight between Diane and Nicholas that night, Diane had insisted that Natasha stayed with her. She claimed that she would soon divorce Nicholas anyway, so, the contract that climbed that Nicholas had to take care of the sisters was void.Natasha pulled the door open and was surprised to see Nicholas standing there, a bouquet of roses in his hands. “Nicholas! What are you doing here?”“Your sister instructed me to come here this evening,” he said. “We’ve found a new way we can track Malvika’s location.”“That’s nice. Come inside,” she said, stepping aside for him to walk in. She closed the door and turned towards him, heading back for the couch. “Those are nice flowers,” she said as she flopped on the couch.“They are for Diane.”“Why don’t you drop them at the table and sit?” she asked.“No, I’d rather give them to her personally,” he answered choosing to stand in the middle of the liv

Malvika stumbled into the hotel, her shoes in her hand. Her hair look disheveled and her clothes were dirty. She had had a messed up day and all she wanted to do was go to bed. She glanced at her wristwatch. The time was fifteen minutes to ten. She knew Haley would be packing up to end her shift, so she wakes towards her table. She slumped down on a seat across Haley. “Hey,” she mumbled, making her presence known.“Hey, honey,” Haley said as she raised her head and saw Malvika. During the five days that Malvika had spent here, the both of them had fallen into an easy camaraderie of chatting and talking and sharing their problems with each other. “What’s wrong? You look horrible.”“I feel just horrible too. Infact, I’m pretty sure I feel worse than I look.”“What happened, hon?” Haley asked.“Went job hunting again,” Malvika groaned. “Today was worst then the rest. I pushed and shoved and groveled upon, yet I wasn’t given the job.”“Oh, sweetie. I’m so sorry.”“My stay in this hotel wi

Diane and Nicholas silently walked back to her house, their hands linked together. Diane admitted to herself that she had a nice, quiet time with Nicholas and she enjoyed it. She had forgotten how much she enjoyed her time with Nicholas, how much she cherished every moment they spent together.As they walked, he squeezed her hand softly. She looked up at him and saw him smiling down at her. “What’s making you so happy?” She questioned.“You,” he whispered and she let out a small smile, quickly looking away as her cheeks reddened.They eventually got to the front of her house but Nicholas held on to her hand, unwilling to let her go. “Diane,” he said, “there is something I’d like to tell you.”“Um? I’m listening,” she answered.He was silent for a while. Then, he blurted out, “I know where Malvika is.”Diane stared at him, her face changing from neutral to shocked. “You know?” she questioned and he nodded his head. “Are you saying you knew all these while?” she demanded and Nicholas qu

Diane sat in the car beside Nicholas, mute, as Nicholas's driver drove to the airport. The both of them had hurriedly packed a few things ranging from their personal belongings to their phones. Diane turned on her phone and quickly scrolled through her contact list. She clicked in Sheila, her personal assistant's number and dialed it. After a few rings, Sheila answered the call. “Hey, Sheila,” Diane said in a small voice. “Something urgent came up and I won’t be coming to work for a few days….. Yes. Tell Ariana that I’ve tried her number so many times…… I’m counting on you to keep the place together until I return. Good. Bye,” She said and ended the call. Then, she sighed and leaned backwards, relaxing into the car seat. “How are you feeling?” “Exhilarated,” Diane replied with another sigh. “This feels weird, like we are running away or something.” “Like eloping?” Nicholas asked with a chuckle. “Hmmm….. except we aren’t. We are merely going after my sister who took off days ago.” S

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.
Unrequited Love ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN
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
Unrequited Love ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN
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. Did the s
