Ava came to with the sound of frenzied knocking on her door and sat up groggily, disoriented for a little while. It didn't take her long to remember what had happened, or why she found herself on the ground, and she bolted up from the ground where she was sitting immediately she remembered.She regretted this sudden movement when her head swam and took a minute to steady herself, while the person who was at the door kept on knocking.As though on cue, her phone also chose that moment to ring shrilly, adding to the noise that the incessant knocking was already producing.Ava wasn't in the mood to receive visitors right then, but she remembered that Harper was still with her friend's mother and the woman could be the one who was knocking to drop her off.The television was still on, but news about Derek wasn't on it any longer. Derek was dead? No, of course not, he wasn't.There was no way on earth he would be dead. She must have dreamt the whole thing up. She snatched up her pho

Blessed peace

Amanda hadn't felt this exhilarated in a long while. She hadn't bargained for getting an extra kid when she planned to kidnap Derek’s daughter, but the whole operation had gone so smoothly that she couldn't complain. All she had to do after they got the children in the car was to hand Denise the gun and ask her to go in the backseat of the car so she could watch over the terrified children. After that, she asked Steve to come sit with her in the passenger seat where she could keep her eyes on him, because she didn't trust him one bit. It was crazy that even Denise had way more balls than he did. Derek’s daughter was a pain in the ass because she started to scream as soon as she realised what was happening, but Amanda was quicker than that. She turned around and delivered a sharp slap to the little girl's face, effectively silencing her. However, that only lasted for a short while, before Harper was telling them all about how they were going to go to the place where bad peop

Utter relief

Ava slowly regained consciousness in the hospital room and blinked in confusion.She knew immediately that she was in a hospital, but couldn't exactly say why she was there, or how she got there. "How do you feel, Ava?" A doctor asked her, coming into her line of vision and poking and prodding at her. "Why am I here?" "You fainted, Ava. We kept you under observation overnight." With those words, the events of the previous night came rushing back to her immediately, and she sat upright, her head swimming. "Has my daughter been found? Has Harper been found?" She asked the doctor, who told her that he would get her mom. A few minutes later, Ava's mom hurried into the room. Ava took one look at her mother's bloodshot eyes, which were red from obvious weeping, and any hope that she had been harboring that things may have changed overnight, disappeared immediately. "Oh, mom! Mom! How can this be happening to me? What have I done to deserve any of this? What has poor Derek or Harper d

Aftermath

Amanda took the children straight to a secluded house that she had purchased and 'furnished' solely for the purpose of housing Harper after she kidnapped the kid. By this time, it was already very dark and she had been driving for hours. The house had a basement, which was where she intended to keep both girls locked up for as long as she decided that they were going to live ... which she didn't think was going to be that long. Derek's daughter was far too annoying for Amanda to let the girl live for very long. In just the short span of time that the girl had spent in Amanda's presence, Amanda already knew that she wouldn't be able to stand her. This was a shame because her initial intention was to torture the child and send evidence of this to Ava as a form of punishment and torture to Ava as well. "I want to go home. Uncle Steve, please tell her to let me go home. My mom will be mad at me and she will be scared that something bad has happened to me." Harper cried when Amanda fin

Unexpected

Steve, Amanda, and Denise watched the news while they had their mini party, which was mostly them drinking and talking, even though they were all tired from having been out all day. As expected, the media was agog with the news of Derek's death, and the glee on Amanda's face at the thought that her efforts had finally paid off and she was well on her way to getting what she felt was her rightful inheritance was unmistakable. Even Steve who wasn't related to Derek felt somewhat bad at the news of his murder, and it seemed that Denise felt the same way, because she was strangely silent and pensive. It was only Amanda who was full of life and happy as hell. That happiness turned into utter shock and total disbelief in the next hour, though. They were still drinking and discussing trivial things when the news channel that was currently on, diverted from showing the regular news to show breaking news. The breaking news was that billionaire Derek Turner, who had earlier that aftern

Awakening

Steve listened to Amanda and Logan fight groggily, as he lay in bed in the house that they had come to after kidnapping Harper and Gracie.He had suddenly felt so tired not long after he retired to sleep and didn’t even realize when he fell asleep. He heard Logan hit Amanda and heard her sharp squeal of surprise and pain, but he didn’t bother getting up to ask what was wrong, because it wasn’t any of his business, and frankly, he didn’t care.Also, he felt so tired and sleepy and it was such a chore to keep his eyes open. Not long after that, he heard Logan drive away in a huff.Logan and Amanda’s fight was what had woken Steve up and now, he struggled to remain awake, but he found that somehow, it was difficult to do so, and this was strange, considering the fact that he was something of an insomniac.As he lay there battling sleep, he began to think about his life choices, which hadn't been very good. Yes, he was successful, and yes, he had money and he had fame, but he was a desp

Fast asleep

It didn’t take long for Steve to find the basement door and he heaved a heavy sigh of relief when he found it. He wished that he could get some water to splash on his face so that he could be more alert and awake, but he didn’t have the luxury of time to try and find some water. The basement door was locked … no surprise there and he put his ear to it, trying to see if he could hear any noise from inside it, but there was total silence, just as there was silence inside the house. He had known that the door would be locked, but that wasn't a problem for him because he had a paper clip attached to his bunch of keys, which he usually used to remove his SIM card from his phone. All he had to do was to pick the lock as quietly as possible and hope that he would be able to do that before anyone woke up or noticed what he was doing. He had experience in picking locks right from when he was young and ran away from home with his brother, and although he hadn't used that particular skill i

Trigger happy

By the time Steve woke up sometime later, the sun was streaming through the trees and he could hear the crunching of leaves somewhere not far away.He froze in fear and looked around, but there was nothing to see other than trees and little shrubs. Harper and Gracie were sleeping peacefully on the ground beside him. There wasn’t much cover for them to be concealed if whoever was out there in the forest came towards where they were. Although his heart was slamming against his chest very rapidly, Steve remained quiet, hoping against hope that whoever was out there would go away. It occurred to him that it could be a hunter or someone else who could help them, but he wasn't willing to take the chance of calling out. He was glad he didn't take that chance when he heard Amanda's unmistakable voice berating and insulting someone. Not long after, Amanda and the other person or people left and everything was silent again. By this time, the sun was shining through the trees and Steve rea

Depressed

The days passed agonizingly slowly and Ava fell into severe depression. She was going through utter hell and was unable to believe that this was what her life had come to.While it was true that Derek didn’t die from the gunshot wound that had managed to penetrate his chest, he remained in a coma and showed no signs whatsoever of regaining consciousness anytime soon, or even ever.He had had to go through delicate surgeries to have the bullet that, by some sheer stroke of luck, didn't hit any major organs, removed. However, some complications had arisen during surgery, and he remained in a coma.The joy and hope that flooded Ava’s entire being when her mother delivered the news that Derek was still alive, but only unconscious to her, had since ebbed away as there was no improvement in his case.As soon as he was stabilized, he was moved down to a hospital in the city where they lived, and Ava sat with him every hour of every day until a nurse came to demand that she leave to rest, and

Unlikely visitors

Inside the envelope were several pictures of Harper that were obviously taken by her captor. As Ava stared at the pictures, tears welled in her eyes and a lump formed in her throat. How could anyone be so callous to do this to an innocent child? Harper was held in what appeared to be a basement, and the picture was clear enough for Ava to see welts where the girl had been beaten with what must be a belt. "Oh, God! My baby! My poor baby!" Ava cried. "We shouldn't have shown it to her, Mom." Ava's sister said again, crying alongside her sister. "No, no. It's fine. At least we know that she's alive. We just need to find her faster before this sadistic demon does worse than this." Before anyone could say anything else, there was a knock on the door and Ava's mom opened it to see Gracie's mom standing there. The woman was crying as well and in her hands was an envelope that was identical to the one that Ava had received. Inside the envelope were pictures of Gracie as well, but she
