Eva's palms were slick as she approached the office door. The heavy oak loomed larger than normal, it seemed to know what was beyond it. She did stop for a second to steady her breathing. She could do this. Had to do it, too. She hauled a last in-draft of breath, grasped the cool doorknob and stepped inside.

"Well, if isn't the woman of the hour," Samantha said, kicking back in Eva's chair and crossing her legs, a smug smile spreading across her face. "Took you long enough."

Eva came into the room, forcing herself to be calm as she shut the door behind her. "Samantha," she said, the even tone of her voice masked the racing of her heart- "why are you in my office?"

Samantha nodded to the chair opposite her. "Why don't you take a seat? We have to have a little talk."

Eva was defiant, but somehow swayed across, her heels clomping against the hardwood floor. "I have a busy day today. Whatever it is that you may need, let's just get on with it." She sat down rigid, her back straight and in

    “Shit! I shouldn't have done that,” Norman muttered as he pulled out of her entrance. He didn't use any protection, and he released inside her carelessly. Ava put her entire weight on him as she relaxed on his shoulder; they were both breathing heavily and trying to catch their breaths. Without dropping her, Norman walked into the bedroom and placed her on the bed gently, wore the hotel room robe around her body, and covered her body with the sheets. He watched her for a few seconds while fell asleep. She looked vulnerable and tired. This is his first time seeing Ava Wadsley like that. She always acted tough outside, but the alcohol always brought out a different side of her, while they were in Italy and this moment too. Norman stood up, walked into the bathroom, and took off all his clothes to shower. He opened the water and just stood under it, letting the water beat his head and back. He hated himself for what he just did; Ava deserved better, but he was an asshole who only

    Norman pushed through the crowd and staggered a bit because of the alcohol taking effect in his system. He finally reached her and glared at those men, they looked intimidating. “Stay away from my Fiancee, you dicks,” he snapped. They looked at each other, stunned. They stepped back a bit , giving Norman access to her. “Ava!” He grabbed her by the shoulder, “What the hell are you doing here?” Ava looked at him with her drunk eyes. “Who the hell are you?” She hissed. The men grumbled beside him, Norman knew what would happen if they found out he was lying about Ava being his fiancee. He thought fast, “It's me Jay. Your finance, I've been looking for you everywhere,” he put on an act. Ava's face softened, “You are my fiance?” She staggered and almost fell, but he quickly cut her, trying hard to hold himself up too. “I have a fiance?” She smiled, touching his face, “We are getting married?”“Yes baby, let's get out of here,” he said, holding her and walking away without making

    Norman walked quietly to the noisy sound coming from his parents' room. They were arguing. “I don’t want my son to end up like you, Victor. He's the only son I have.” His mother sobbed.Victor was silent for a while,“What the hell are you talking about?” He said calmly, “All I ever did was try to get the best for him, make him be at the top and shine brighter than any of his peers. Isn't that what every parent would do for their child?” His brow furrowed in confusion.She shook her twice, “No, no, no, Victor. You are getting it all wrong. Every parent wants their child to be the best, but not like this. You are doing it all wrong, and you never listen when I tell you to stop.” Victor was taken aback by her words. “What do you mean, ‘not like this’ If he doesn't fight for what he wants, how will he get it? I'm teaching him to be a real fighter, to be able to handle any situation and take advantage of it.” He sneered. She sniffled as tears flowed from her eyes, “Our son never got a

    Richard and Henry looked at each other and back at Officer Wilson without anything to say. “Anyways, I believe in you both, and I'm sort of convinced that they might be involved in this case.” Officer Wilson switched from the awkwardness that was brewing in the room. “Samantha Dale's case looks too detailed and planned,” he added. “Even Officer Greg suspects that, but he doesn't want to act out of order.” A little bit of hope settled in Richard's and Henry's heart. “We'll really appreciate it if you can push for this with your observations so far, too.” Henry's voice was pleading. “I'll try my best.” Officer Wilson said, standing up from his seat as his phone rang on the table, and he glanced at it. “I have to leave now. There are things I need to attend to.” Richard and Henry stood up along with him. “Thankd for your time, Officer Wilson.” Richard extended his hand, “And I'm sorry for raising my voice earlier.” he smiled sadly. Officer Wilson shook his hand, “It's not a probl

    The next morning, Richard Wadsley was waiting in his car for Henry Darlington. His phone rang; he picked it up and saw that it was Henry. “Hi, are you here yet?” He immediately answered the call. “Yes, I just parked right behind you,” he responded. Richard heard a horn behind him and turned to see Henry's car behind his. He got out of the car and walked towards Henry's car as he also came out of his. “How are you doing? Especially Eleanor, how is she taking all this?” Henry asked out of concern. Richard sighed, “I’m holding up. I've come to the realization that I failed my daughter.” Henry looked at him with pity. “Of course not. I know Eva doesn't think that way.” He reprimanded him. “After reading that text yesterday, I felt something in my heart for the first time since all these started. I have to make this right, I have to make it safe for my daughter to come back home. Otherwise, I have failed as a father.” he said with a firm tone. Henry just stared at him, trying to

    “We need to find her right now. She can't handle it on her own.” Eleanor sobbed. Richard paced the room with his hand in his pocket. “We'll find her mom. We'll bring her back home.” Ava assured. “Even if you find her, do you think she wants to come back?” Richard turned sharply to them. Eleanor's eyes shot up, “What are you saying?” “Don't you get it? Eva left home because she doesn't feel safe anymore. She doesn't feel safe here anymore.” “She said she doesn't want to endanger her life and the baby's life.” Ryan pointed out. “She's probably still traumatised about the kidnap, that's it.” Ava sneered. “No, dear. There's more. She's running from something, and unless we make it safe to return, I don't think we should bring her back either.” Richard seethed. Eleanor stood up with rage in her eyes. “Are you saying we should leave her alone like that? She can't take care of herself.” “She's a grown woman, Eleanor!” Richard snapped. "She can take care of herself." The tension w
