BRIAN'S POV“Are you sure you made all the arrangements with the doctor? Does he know what to say to him?” Lucy asked agitatedly.She was lying on a hospital gurney, all decked up as a sick patient. The customary blue loose dress, the hanging IV tube, the cannula on her wrist and the beeping ECG machine. It was the perfect set up.“If you don't look sick, how would he believe you? You'll agitate yourself by asking so many questions. Act the part, look sick! Let the doctor do his job.” I responded with a tinge of irritation in my tone.“Maurice must never know that I was never pregnant.” She said fearfully. “Everything will be ruined if he comes to know. He'll kick me out of his life for good.”“Then maybe you should have gotten yourself pregnant to cement your position in his life.” I responded nonchalantly.Her problems with my father were the least of my concerns. The only reason I was involving myself in helping her was because it would help me get closer to Glenda She gave me an

MAURICE'S POV I sat in the doctor's office waiting for what seemed to be forever. Lucy had been admitted and I was to see the doctor for her report. It's been over half an hour since I arrived here and no one was seeing me or telling me anything and I was getting impatient. A nurse entered the small office. She looked at me with a measure of surprise. “Does Dr Brown know you're still here?” She asked, obviously surprised to still find me here. I was just about to respond to her when the door peeled open and someone poked their head through the door. “Dr Brown can you…” The words stuck on his tongue when he sighted me. “Maurice?” He called out with delightful surprise. I turned and stood up to greet the familiar face, a long time acquaintance. “Dr Millers.” We shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, after which he asked what I was doing there. The nurse who had been watching us silently suddenly felt the need to get involved in our conversation and she explained to Dr

GLENDA'S POVI laid awake on the bed, my head propped on my bent elbow, watching the big man asleep.The remnant of stress from the past few days lined across his face. Maurice had had to deal with a lot. A lot that I contributed to. I felt guilty for causing him so much pain, for adding to his pain. We talked at length last night. He told me in detail everything he had discovered. I couldn't even begin to imagine how he must have felt finding out all those dirty secrets and carrying them all by himself.I studied his features. He looked so peaceful asleep. I wished he could keep the peace and wouldn't have to wake up to the harsh reality of life. I leaned in and kissed his head. If only that small gesture could erase all his hurt and pain.He suddenly stirred and blinked awake. A rakish smile adorned his face.“See who is watching me sleep.” He teased as he tittered lightly. His voice was still groggy from sleep.I returned his smile. “Now I see what you enjoy.” I backed him after

MAURICE POV“Do you really have to go?” Glenda whined for the nth time that morning.“Yes. I have to. They need me over there.” I gave her the same response I had been giving her since we began this conversation.I couldn't see any reason why Glenda was so paranoid. I was traveling for a business conference and would only be gone for three days. Yet she was insisting that I didn't go.“Don't worry, I'll call you every hour for the three days. We'll FaceTime whenever the timing is good. You won't even notice I'm not here.” I tried to reassure her. I was standing before the full-length mirror, knotting my tie. She wasn't willing to help me today since she didn't want me to go on the trip.“You don't ever listen to me.” From the mirror, I could see her pouting.I sighed. She was being stubborn and difficult. I went over to her with my tie done halfway. I stood in front of her, ran both of my hands through the length of her arms, then held her on her shoulders.“The planning of this event

GLENDA'S POVI couldn't shake off the ominous feeling that roved over me like a cloud. I kept feeling that something bad would happen the next minute. Maybe I was getting used to something bad happening. The past days had been filled with one ugly event or the other and I had become overly paranoid. But no matter how much I tell this to myself, the feeling just won't go away.It was an unpleasant surprise when Maurice mentioned his trip. I didn't want him to go. My foreboding was getting the better of me and I wanted to keep him close, watch him and protect him from the danger I couldn't see.I stuck around him until he boarded and then his plane took off. I was at the airport watching and silently praying that everything turned out well. I really wanted to be wrong.Maurice texted me just before he had to switch off his phone. He was starting out fine in keeping his word to be in constant communication with me. His gesture made me smile.It was only after I watched his plane depart

MAURICE'S POV“What do you mean by you can't find Glenda? Isn't she at home?” My cold voice shot at Nora.I had just checked into my hotel room and was calling to inform Glenda. Her phone had been ringing non-stop with no response. I did try calling her earlier too when my flight landed but there was no response either. I assumed she must have been napping or up to something that kept her busy.Regardless, I expected her to be with her phone and to return my call at the earliest. I took some time to get myself settled and tried calling her again.Feeling frustrated after several attempts of being unable to reach Glenda, I called the house line only for Nora to tell me that Glenda wasn't home.“I just came from her room. She asked me to make dinner and that she'll come down to have it. That was four hours ago. The food was getting cold, so I went upstairs to inquire from her if she had changed her mind regarding dinner. But she wasn't there.” Nora explained over the phone.I found her

GLENDA'S POV A loud thumping sound woke me from the darkness I was floating in. It seemed to grow louder, increasing in its disturbing volume. I felt dizzy, hazy, like a clouded mist. I tried to move but my limbs felt too heavy to comply. Slowly, I fluttered my eyelids open. I was welcomed by a dim yellow light shining brightly beside me. I shut back my eyes. My head was aching badly. I tried to move again, propel myself and access my environment, but the aching weight in my head kept pulling me down. I shut my eyes and cursed at my failed attempt. I opened my eyes again and squinted past the yellow light to look around my environment. My eyes roved over the strange and unfamiliar setting. This was not my room. Where was I? How did I get here? The throbbing pain in my head increased as I tried to remember. Such a simple task brought me such intense pain. After a minute of trying, the memories came flooding into my mind. The bathroom. The feeling that I was being watched. The fe

MAURICE'S POVI took the next available flight back to London. All the while keeping constant communication with Nora regarding Glenda's return.I could feel it in my guts that Glenda was in trouble. It was confirmed when I returned late that night and Glenda was still nowhere to be found.There was no trace of her except for the blood that stained the vanity table and the telltale of someone being dragged on the floor.Incompetent staffs! How could someone enter the house without being noticed? Were they all asleep?I wasted no time informing the police. The evidence present, all pointed to the fact that Glenda has been kidnapped and investigations kicked off immediately.That was three days ago. Three days since the investigation to determine Glenda's whereabouts began and three days of no result.No one knew how she left the house. No one had seen her and no one knew who had abducted her. It was all too mysterious.So chaotic that it turned me into a frantic mess. Not knowing the

GLENDA'S POV She came closer and sat beside me, darting her head behind her constantly as though checking if she was being followed. “I knew I'd find you here.” She whispered. Her alert gaze roved around the room. Oh thank Goodness! Finally someone was here to help me. “Elsa… Elsa.” I called out weakly, a tinge of excitement and hope adorned my gruff voice. “Elsa. Brian. Please get me out of here.” I mumbled. “I know.” She whispered in response and placed her right index finger over her lips. “Keep it down.” She darted behind her again. I immediately understood. We needed to stay quiet so we didn't alert my captor. I nodded vigorously to the best of meager strength. “Don't worry, I'll get you out of here.” She reassured me and tried to help me sit up. “You're weak.” She commented. She struggled to lift my limp body. It didn't help that I couldn't assist her by at least raising myself. Whatever Brian had been feeding me was still working actively inside me. “He has been feedi

MAURICE'S POV I walked back into the house taking quick long angry strides heading back to my study. My face contoured into a growl as I muttered angrily to myself.“Did they find her?” A voice asked.I stopped and turned. I hadn't noticed the presence of anyone seated in the living room. Nora materialized before me. “Has she been found?” She asked again. Worry and anticipation embellished her expression.The eagerness in her gaze only added to my fury. It was a stupid lead. A total waste of my time. Utterly pointless!There was no trace of Glenda where they had thought they had a lead. I wondered what their team was doing as regards to this case. Absolutely nothing! And my infuriation was growing with each passing time.I averted her gaze. I was too pissed to break the bad news to her. I scanned the area of the living room and then set my gaze on Lucy.“Why are you still here?” I interrogated her icily.She seemed to cower under my demeaning stare.“I was concerned.” Her voice was
