Chapter Nineteen
Robyn sat at the breakfast table eating her pancakes as the two women across her glared at her. She had told them she was going back to work that day.
"Frown lines are not pretty on you ladies." Robyn said.
"You're supposed to be resting Robbie." Ella said.
"I'm better now. I'm tired of staying home."
"It's not even been two weeks yet." Her Aunt said.
"Ma, I know that. But if I stay cooped in here for a day more, I will get cranky and you know how that goes."
"But Roh..."
"I'm not even driving myself there." Robyn tried to convince them.
"Fine. But promise you will get home for lunch and you won't go back to school."
"But Ma...."
"I'm very serious Robyn."
"Fine."
"And you have to check in with us every hour." Ella said.

Breaking you Chapter Twenty
The hot water cascaded down his body lightly relaxing his tensed up body. He imagined it washing away his stress. Drew had been in a slump lately and he hoped his three days off would get him the rest he needed.He had almost lost his favorite person in the whole world, his sister recently. His superior had made a near fatal mistake on one of his patients who luckily survived and his family had no choice to give in to a madman's demands.He thought about Ella, she had apologized to him for what happened. They were talking more lately. Tara must have rubbed her the wrong way to make her a little jealous. Drew was thankful for Tara's brevity to flirt with him openly. He did not want her apology though, he wanted her in his arms, his fingers tracing gentle lines in her hair as she giggled. Was that too much to ask?He got out of the shower,put on some clothes and grabbed his keys to go to his parents' home. He wanted
Breaking you Chapter Twenty One
Robyn kept staring Colin with a confused look painting her dainty features. Was he trying to bail on her so soon?She knew he did not like how his father handled things but did he really want to defy him so bad."Robyn say something please.""I don't understand. You want us to delay the wedding?""Yes. Just until we can find a loophole.""Wow. You're divorcing me even before we're married....""Ro come on, don't do that. This is for your own good. My father is up to something, I'm sure of it. This marriage is not just to boast our customer service. He is hiding something. Please just trust me.""How long do you need?""As long as possible." He paused, "It may even give you and Beau more time to sort the issues you two....""I'm gonna stop you right there Col. I know you care about your broth
Breaking you Chapter Twenty Two
Dinner with the Kashos was a lot more civil than the previous occasions. Everyone was carrying on with conversations about work and life.Robyn sat beside Colin and kept giggling at whatever he was telling her. She did as she was told about not making eye contact with Beau. She was not sure if he was getting angry about all this."I hate to interrupt but have you decided on the date then?" James asked."Oh I'm still waiting for the caterer to get back to me on when they can be available.""It does not have to be that big, we can just go to the courthouse and have the celebration later....." James said again."What? No way! Our family gets a priest to officiate weddings. We're not doing short cuts to this James." Her father Robert said."Fine. We can get other caterers then.""Is this your wedding or mine?" Robyn asked him."Sorry. Go on with t
Breaking you Chapter Twenty Three
He stared intently on the third glass of scotch that the bartender had just slid him at Neon. He only liked a few places in the town and Neon was one of them. He saw the girl who had asked to buy him a drink before look his way and wave. He gave her a wave and drank on. He might have looked good on the outside but inside there was a storm brewing.Beau was upset with himself. He wished he could go back in time and tell Robyn about how he felt. He wanted to be brave enough to just tell her everything. He wanted to be better but could just not. There was also a chance that she had fallen for his brother.Colin was a nice person and really caring behind the jerkface he put on for everyone else. Robyn had the habit to see past what people put in front of her. She saw people for who they were and she had already seen the real side of Colin. She was closer to him.He could not be mad at Robyn, he had not made it easy for
Breaking you Chapter Twenty Four
Her eyes opened but she saw nothing but total darkness. For a second she thought she had gone blind. The pressure of the cloth blindfolding her told her otherwise. She tried to scream for whoever was there but her mouth was taped shut. Her hand could not be lifted either for they were tied.After what felt like an eternity, a door opened and the blind fold was taken off. The light was too bright for her eyes so she closed them again. Someone said something and the chair was pushed back and she fell. She screamed again to be let go."Robyn! Robyn! It's just a dream angel, you're okay. You're safe."Robyn opened her eyes and Aunt Viv's face came into view. She was in the lounge. She looked around and saw her uncle on her other side looking worried and Drew in scrubs beside her. He looked like he was about to cry. She realized she had been having another nightmare and sleepwalking.It had be
Breaking you Chapter Twenty Five
Round and round the wheels in his mind turned. There was a fair chance this was all just a nightmare and he would wake up. All the dots were connecting.Drew tried to calm his rising anger but he was losing grip. The people in this room each not believing what they had just found out."So, you mean to tell us, the Eddie Saza in that file kidnapped Robyn on James's orders?" His father asked."Yes. Lionel hypnotized her to remember that day and she did.""But she says she still does not remember anything now.""That's because hypnosis works on the subconscious state of mind. When she wants to, she will. She is still afraid of that, a little." He told them."And she saw James?" Someone asked."No.She heard his voice telling them not to release her yet. And he had someone hypnotize her into forgetting it.""So all that was so he could hurt B
Breaking you Chapter Twenty Six
Beau sat on the couch playing with the stress ball in his hand. He was waiting for Ella to get there as she had called him to ask where he was and to stay there. She sounded really pisses off about something.What had happened to her? Or was it Robyn? He sat up when that thought crossed his mind. Did James do something to her? He could not have. As much as he wanted to break his bones the day before, Colin had talked him out of it. They needed to play dumb so that they could protect Robyn. That was a logical reason for him.He heard a knock on the door and rushed to open it."What the hell is wrong with you?" Ella asked him as she went in. She was clearly upset."Good morning to you too." He said."Don't play sarcastic with me.""What are you talking about Ells?""Why would you tell the Hachis to go ahead with the marriage when there is a way to
Breaking you Twenty Seven
Robyn was tired of pretending to be interested in the conversation or rather discussion that was taking place at the moment. She imagined James's head swelling and then exploding with a boom to which she smiled. He kept saying things as if she needed help to manage her life. He really had no idea what she was capable of."Listen Mr Kasho, I'm not a helpless person. I'm not a damsel in distress that needs a strong man to save her. My life is just fine.""I'm not saying you are helpless. I'm just saying with all the things that you're going to inherit and accomplish, you need a man by your side. All the more reason for it to be Colin. Your restraunt, Noah's it's growing everyday, you need our expertise in...""Whoa whoa whoa! Back it up a little bit. What did you say about Noah's?""Like I said before all assets including that need to be....""Need to be what? Listen to me an
