His eyes drowned in the shape and curves of her body that were enhances by the skirt and blouse she watch. As she approached him, he leaned away from his car to her. “Hey,” he says softly, reaching out to hug her.
Diane slowly puts her hands around him, letting him hug her for a while before backing away.
Looking into her eyes, Jayden couldn’t help but observe that her eyes were dim and puffy. He immediately knew what was wrong but felt obliged to ask anyway. With his arms still around her body, he asked, “Hey, what’s wrong?”
Diane shook her head, avoiding his gaze. “Nothing,” she croaked. “I’m….I’m…I’m….fine.” she said.
Jayden raised his hand to brush a strand of hair away from her face. “A

“Hey,” Malvika greeted, looking up from her phone as Diane walked into the house. “Where did you go?” She asked.“Took a walk with Jayden,” Diane replied, sitting on the chair and kicking off her shoes. She let out a deep sigh as she relaxed into the couch. “What did you do today?”“Nothing,” Malvika replied, shrugging. “Natasha and I went to the mall, no big deal. So, you went out with Jayden. Did you two talk about me?” She asked hopefully.Diane stared at her for a while. “Not exactly but yeah, kind of. He said you are just taking things slow for now.”“Yeah, about that. He did say something about how he isn’t ready to be in a relationship. And I thought, why can’t we just go on a few dates and I’ll try to make him fall in love with me.”“Hold up,” Dian

Malvika looked up as the door slowly creaked open. She watched as Jenny walked into the house. Glancing at the time, she saw that it was around seven in the morning. She remembered that Jenny went out on a date with Jayden the previous evening. Fixing the puzzles together, she concluded that Jenny had slept in Jayden’s house. She watched as Jenny walked towards the stairs, then, paused and turned.“Hello, Malvika,” Jenny greeted, her lips stretched out in a taunting smile. “I didn’t see you there.”Malvika clenched her jaw. “Where are you coming from?” she asked, gritting her teeth.Jenny shrugged. “A date. Why? Is anything wrong?”“You slept with Jayden, didn’t you?” Malvika spat out angrily. Her eyes bulged out of her socket and her face was becoming red. Her breathing was turning into pants as she stared at Jenny’s

Jenny stared as Malvika kissed Jayden on his lips. She stood still for a while, trying to compose her thoughts. She watched as Malvika held on to Jayden sucking his lips like her life depended on it. She noted that Jayden didn’t do anything. His hands were just helplessly by his side. Malvika finally let go of him and turned to meet Jenny. “Oh, hello there, Jenny. I didn’t hear you coming in.” Jenny smirked. “Oh, I think you did,” she said. She walked towards Jayden and placed her hands on his chest. “Hey,” she said softly. “Oh…Kay,” Jayden quickly pulled away, forcing Jenny to drop her hands. “While this has been fun, I think we should focus on what we came here for,” he said, moving to sit down. Malvika gave Jenny a smug smirk and slowly lowered herself to her seat across Jayden. Jenny chuckled. She moved closer to Malvika, leaned down and whispered, “You kissed him. I had sex with him. Spot the difference.” Then, she straightened hers

“Are you ready?” Diane asked she watched Malvika and Natasha load the cars with their traveling bags. Nicholas was seated at the driver seat, waiting for them to be done. “Is that all?” Diane asked again. “Have you packed everything you will be needing?” She asked anxiously.They were traveling for their father's funeral. Diane and Logan had been involved in the planning for a while. It was going to be a small ceremony for only family and a couple of friends.“Are you sure you’ve packed it all?” Diane asked again.“Yeah. That’s perfect,” Malvika said. “But I’m not going with you guys. Jayden is coming to pick me up.”Nicholas poked his head out of the car. “Where is Jenny?” he asked.“Have you forgotten she said she isn’t coming with us?” Diane answered. “

Diane stood in front of the mirror in her white pajamas gown. She brushed her hair slowly, staring at her reflection in the mirror. There was a knock on her door. She tilted her head slightly and called out, “Come inside.” The door opened and Nicholas stepped inside. She sent him a quick smile. “Hi,” she said casually.“Hey babe,” he said with an half-smile.Diane turned her attention back to the mirror. “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be downstairs with your parents?”“I missed you,” he said casually making Diane’s heart spin in 360 degrees. He walked towards the bed and sat at the edge.Diane smiled. She dropped her comb and proceeded to pack her hair.Nicholas raised his hand to stop her from packing it. “No, leave it. I like it like this. You look beautiful.”Her insides warmed up at the compliment and she blushed. She gave a skeptical glance at

Diane stood in front of the mirror, a brush in her hand. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her sad, hooded eyes were expertly covered with mascara, eyeliner and fake lashes. Her cheeks were colored with fake blush to hide the sadness on her face.She slowly raised her hand and touched her reflection in the mirror. The make-up on her face did nothing to hide the sadness of her eyes. She watched as two drops of tears fell from each of her eyes and rolled down her cheek.The door opened and through the mirror, she saw Nicholas stepping inside the room. He closed the door gently behind him. “Diane,” he called, taking a step towards her.She slowly turned around. “Hey,” she croaked, forcing out a small smile.Nicholas walked towards her. “You are crying,” he stated.She shook her head, raising her hand and touching her eyelid with a finger. “I’m not,” she said, her voice low and hoarse.

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

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

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.
