Were you mine? Desperate
" Lea, why did you come down all by yourself? Didn't I tell you not to get up and rest? You should not... " Jake ran towards her as she stumbled out of the door but he wasn't prepared for what greeted him. His face turned to the other side as a hot red flush appeared on one of his cheeks. Lea slapped him with all her might and he stood there, speechless, staring. Mercy and Phill gaped at them as well but neither dared to move. " Oh, please shut it! I have had enough of your bossing around. I am not going to take anymore of your nonsense. " She walked straight up to Phill who was watching them with his mouth wide open. Without warning she smacked her lips onto his and started kissing him like her life depended on it. Jake and Mercy thought their eyes were playing some trick but she continued kissing Phill, holding onto his shirt before ripping it apart, grappling his neck for support. " I should have done this right after I left you the first time. All that you and your family ha
Were you mine? Marionette
The officer pressed play, and the room filled with the chilling conversation between Lea and the kidnapper. The three siblings listened intently, straining to catch any familiar detail in the distorted voice. After a few minutes, the officer rewound the tape and played it again, then once more for good measure. "Anything?" he asked, looking at their confused and frustrated faces. Jake's eyes widened as the realization hit him that Lea was in the eye of the storm. He lunged for his phone, frantically dialing Lea's number. "Come on, Lea, pick up," he muttered, pacing back and forth. After several rings, his heart sank as the call went to voicemail. "Her phone's switched off!" he exclaimed, panic setting in. "We need to trace her! She could be in serious danger.She couldn't even stand up properly up in her room. She is driving out there and doing what crazy stuff..." The officer put a hand on Jake's shoulder, trying to calm him. "Listen, I understand you're worried, but we can't trace
Were you mine? Word to word
Lea drove like a lunatic trying to reach the next destination. She was running low on gas, she knew she needed to refill but she dared not stop or slow down, fearing she might not reach the spot in the given time. As her car screeched to a halt she looked around and luck was on her side. The location she was chasing happened to be just what she needed. A gas station! Lea got off and went inside to dial the number she had in her hand while throwing her card at the man filling her tank. " Make it full. Absolutely full! " She yelled as the man turned around to look at her, perplexed. Lea's hand shook so much as she dialled the number that the receiver fell from her hand, twice. " Hello! I am at the gas station like you asked me to. Now please let me speak to my son, once. Please! " Lea yelled, begged, cried, putting all her effort in that plea but all she was met with was a chuckle from the other side. " Alright! Since you have proven to be a good girl, let me grant you this bliss.
Were you mine? More demands...
Lea's breath hitched, but she nodded.At this point,Lea was very certain that the caller could actually see her.But she dared not look around in the car, least they suspected that she understood that she was being watched. "Okay," she managed to say ,hitting on the accelerator again. As she drove, the voice continued with precise instructions.They even told her which lane to take. They knew which bank she was headed to. "Once you're at the bank, you will enter and ask to speak to the manager. Tell them you need to transfer a large sum into the account I provided. Do not alert anyone, act normal and calm or your son will suffer the consequences." Lea's grip on the steering wheel tightened. "I understand," she replied, fighting to keep her voice steady as she stopped a few feet away from her destination. Upon arriving at the bank's back entrance, she parked haphazardly and dashed inside, the phone still connected, a pair of bluetooth devices pressed to her ear which she was instructe
Were you mine? Demon
(Rewinding a few hours back . We will take it from where we left at Lea's place. ) Everyone followed Elizabeth Rodgers back to the Rodger mansion including the cops and the detectives but they all took separate roads like Elizabeth had instructed. She had forbidden them from taking any calls from anyone until they reached the Rodgers mansion and had seen the evidence she had to provide. Everyone reluctantly agreed but they could sense she was onto something. And it was grave. The cops and the detectives entered the mansion through the backdoor and went straight to Elizabeth's study. She entered through the front door with her kids and instructed the gates to be closed. " Alright, now that we are all here," She turned towards the detectives, " Would you like to start building them up for what's coming? " She looked strangely anxious and nervous, herself. " Wait! " Mercy stood up as the detectives were about to start talking. " Percy isn't here. Let me call him real quick. He h
Were you mine? Flashback
( Continuation of Percy's flashback) Rosa slowly stripped for Percy.She started by unbuttoning her top, one button at a time, drawing out the moment as her fingers skillfully undid each clasp while she bit her lips.She swayed her hips in time with the sultry music, her eyes locked onto Percy's, holding his gaze with a smoldering intensity.Her top slipped off her shoulders, revealing the smooth, tanned skin underneath, before she let it fall to the floor.Percy's eyes darkened with desire as he watched her, his breath growing heavier with each passing second. Rosa's hands moved to her skirt, sliding it down her hips with a slow, sensual grace. She turned around, giving him a full view of her curves, and bent slightly, making sure he got an eyeful as she stepped out of the skirt.She stood in just her lace bra and panties, the dim light casting shadows that accentuated every line and curve of her body.She reached behind her back, unclasping her bra with a practiced ease, and let it

Back at the Rodger Mansion ( Present) - Mercy hurled herself at Elizabeth, her hands striking out in wild, desperate fury. "How dare you frame Percy!" she screamed, her voice breaking. "How could you accuse him of such horrible things?" She was jumping and shrieking. Elizabeth stood firm absolutely unshaken. "Mercy, stop! Listen to me!" she pleaded, trying to grasp Mercy's flailing hands.There was a hint of sadness somewhere in her tone. Jake and Phill moved quickly to restrain their sister, pulling her back as she continued to thrash and scream. "You’re lying! You’re trying to tear our family apart!" Mercy sobbed as she pounded around."Mercy, please," Elizabeth's voice was softer but she held her daughter with her gaze. "I wish it weren't true, but it is.I wish I was lying.I wish I was wrong. Percy is behind all of this.I know this shreds your heart but it is what it is." It took a long time for Mercy's resistance to wane. She continued to struggle, her energy slowly draini
Were you mine? Burning up
Rosa was sprawled on a couch in a room, that looked like it belonged to some dingy motel. The lights were off and it was barely lit by a flickering TV screen. Her eyes were glued on to the screen as she sat there, munching on popcorn. The room looked like it was in a mess. There were packets of chips and chocolates everywhere. Empty bottles of milk and beer was stacked in the corner. It was clear there had been no housekeeper in that room for a few days. She sat there with two burly men sprawled lazily on the floor. Suddenly, a pathetic whimpering sound cut through the stale air, coming from the room right next to them. Annoyed, Rosa smacked one of the men on the back of his head. "Get your lazy ass up and shut that kid up!" she snapped. The man grumbled but got to his feet, lumbering into the other room as he fumbled with the keys on the door.It was locked but he opened it with a kick. "Hey! Pipe down in there!" he barked. But the whimpering only grew louder. Rosa made a d

Were you mine? Life goes on
A month after Lea's death - Jake stood in front of Lea's grave, holding onto the bouquet that he had brought. He had her favourite box of chocolate, custom made by the old baker lady back in their home town. He brought her flowers everyday after seeing Kai off at his daycare. He spent the rest of his day talking to her before going back to picking Kai up again. He brought her all the things he had promised to get her one day when they were little. He was trying to give her everything he always wanted to give her but never really could. Today was no different. As if Lea's death wasn't enough of a blow, after the postmortem Jake was told that Lea was pregnant with their second child. It didn't make things any easier only driving another dagger through Jake's heart. Perhaps it was just because Kai existed that he could move forward.He didn't want to but he had to for the sake of the little guy. With Lea gone, there was no meaning left in this world. All colours were gone. It was o
Were you mine? The end
" NOOOOOO! " Jake flung himself forward trying to put himself between Lea and the bullet but it was too late. The bullet hit her right on point blank. She fell right in front of his eyes,blood gushing out like a crimson fountain. " LEAAAAAA!!! "Jake's voice broke with the sheer intensity of his scream as he ripped his white shirt and pressed it over her forehead. " CALL FOR AN AMBULANCE! NOW!!! " He barked, desperately clinging onto Lea's body as Kai grabbed his shoulder and began to whimper. " It's alright, baby. Don't worry. Mommy will be fine. " Jake could barely hold onto his child as his hands started to tremble. Mercy fell down on her knees, probably the only one whose rationale was still working. She closed Lea's lifeless eyes as her body whacked with tremors as she cried.Lea was no more. It was instant death. " Mercy! What are you doing? " Jake shoved her hand away from Lea's body. " Somebody please call an ambulance! " He kept screaming as Kai's cries reached the breaking po
Were you mine? Finally-Our wedding
Lea's POV I stood in front of the grand mirror.Today, I would marry Jake, the love of my life, and the father of my Kai. Our journey had been anything but normal but it had brought us to this breathtaking moment. My dress was a masterpiece, a custom creation by one of the most renowned designers in the town. The silk fabric clung to my figure, adorned with intricate lace and delicate pearls that sparkled as I moved. The train flowed behind me like a river and the veil was draped over my shoulders, waiting to be lifted.I felt goosebumps at the thought. "Lea, you look like an absolute dream," Lisa said, fussing with the final touches on my veil. She stepped back, her eyes bright with unshed tears. "Mr.Rodger is not going to know what hit him." I laughed, trying to steady my breathing. "You think?" "I know," she replied, giving me a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder."Wow, Lea. You're stunning. Seriously, Jake's going to lose it when he sees you."The door opened and my maid of h
Were you mine? Suddenly
Suddenly Jake leaped off the bed, crossing over Lea as he did. He went for the cupboards, yanking them open, rummaging through the drawer as he did. Lea raised herself up on one elbow, watching him closely. " Jake, what's going on? " She asked with one brow raised. " I swear it has to be somewhere in here. I left it just as it was. " Jake kept searching not looking back at her. Lea signed as she got up from the bed, still very naked and walked right over. " If you tell me what you are looking for, maybe I can help. Is it your wallet? " Jake yanked another section of the cupboard open and Lea stopped at the sight of all the neatly arranged laundry. It was her side of the cupboard. Absolutely mess-free and tidy, just like she had left it years ago. She left Jake as he went through the night stand , touching the fabrics and checking if they were still in the same sequence like she left them. " They are untouched. Why didn't you move them? " Lea's voice was barely above a whisper
Were you mine? Pent up
Lea's POV His kiss soothed me a little. Those things had been bottled up inside and it was high time I let it escape. Tears streamed down my face as memories I had tried so hard to suppress resurfaced. I couldn't hold back the sobs that wracked my body. Jake's presence beside me was both comforting and agonizing."Lea," he begged, his voice trembling slightly, "talk to me." I shook my head, unable to find the words to express the turmoil inside me. Instead, I let out a choked sob, burying my face in my hands. Jake's arms wrapped around me, pulling me close. His embrace was warm and strong."I'm here," he murmured, his lips brushing against my hair."I'm not going anywhere." His words broke something inside me. I clung to him, my fingers digging into his shirt as if he were the only thing keeping me from falling apart. His scent filled me with comfort as I burried my nose over his neck while he nibbled at mine. His lips slowly found it's way back to mine. But before he could kiss
Were you mine? Scared
Jake's POV " Yes, we are coming right now. Yes please. Keep the keys ready. " I called the old watchman because it had been ages since I last went there. Lea hadn't spoken for the rest of the drive and I knew for certain there was something cooking in her little head. I wasn't complaining. She had been through a lot and I was happy to be of any serve to her, any use... anything to make my Lea happy again. Make her smile and dance like when she was a little girl. My crazy, sweet, innocent Lea. She had been leaning on the seat but as soon as we entered the driveway towards the apartment she sat up, rolled down the window and stretched her neck out. " Lea, careful... " I tried to pull her back but she opened the car door before I could pull up and made a run for it. I tossed the keys to the valley with much frustration and ran after her. " Lea, wait" She topped right in front of the elevator and turned around. I was running so fast, I almost banged into her. She pulled my hand int
Were you mine? U-turn
Jake's POV " Of course you get that job, whether you like it or not. " I wasn't even lying. Who better than Phil to look after my little one. I knew he would always have his back, no matter what. Phill chuckled before turning around. " By the way, did you sign the papers before coming inside? " He asked me and it took me off guard. " Papers? What papers? " " Discharge papers. Didn't they tell you before you entered? " He made a disappointed face and looked out of the door even though he could see no one. " These incompetent workers. They can't get one thing... " " Discharge papers? Who is getting discharged? I thought you needed around a week to recover. " Lea interrupted looking straight at Phill. " I am not getting discharged. You are! " Phill pointed at Lea but she stood up. " Me? Oh, alright. Makes sense. " Phill turned his gaze back to me and said, " Get the paper works done and take her home. I think I need to get some sleep... " " Take who home? " Lea stood face t
Were you mine? Promise
Phill's POV I had to do it. I knew how much I was going to suffer after that kiss ended. I didn't want it to end. I didn't want to let go of her hand. I didn't want to see her with anyone else, even if it was my own brother. I knew I was finally letting the dam break. I had been holding back way too long I couldn't do it anymore. I had to let her know. The moment her taste touched me, I lost track of everything. I lost control of myself. I lost my sense of the place. I kissed her and she let me and I was grateful for that. I was half expecting her to shove me back but she didn't. She held me, held my hand as I took from her what I needed. My life force. She was like an EpiPen bringing me back to life. " Phill... " She finally mumbled against my lips, her hands on my chest, gently holding them but not pushing. It took way too much of my energy to stop and finally look up at her face. I couldn't read her expression. Was it shock, fear, disgust, sympathy.... I could not understan
Were you mine? Comfort
Lea's POV " Kai... " The moment my eyes opened I threw my hands in all directions, trying to get up and look for Kai. But i didn't have to look much further. He was right across and I could see him in the other room. My baby was latched to the beeping machines with pipes and wires and what not. And right beside him was Phill. He sat at his head side, his hand gently gliding up and down through his hair. Phill turned towards me with a smile when he realised I was up. My head was still groggy because of the sedative the nurse had injected me with but I was feeling all better and alright. " Lea, you are up! Are you feeling alright? "He asked me with that infectious smile. I should have been the one to ask him that question. He was the one with a wound. He had just saved my child's life all over again, perhaps for the zillionth time. " I am fine. How are you feeling? How is Kai holding up?" I walked towards where he was. He was in a wheelchair, I noticed when I went near. He
