Considering how hard my heart was pounding in my chest, I wouldnโt be surprised if it leaped out of the cavity any moment now. To say I was having a mild panic attack would seem as though I was exaggerating, but only I knew how terrified I was of flying.As we slowly ascended, the imbalance in my ear was beginning to grab my attention. I was too focused on minding my breathing to even bother grabbing a hold of my earplugs that were inside my purse.I shouldโve known better than to travel alone. Especially when I was well aware of my qualms when it came to flying in an airplane.In a desperate attempt to keep my mind off things for a while, I closed my eyes and thought about my family.Back in high school, I was always sure what I wanted to be and who I wanted to be with. But like all of my other plans, they were put to trial. I no longer wished for them now. These days, I just wished for small things to happen.Coming home to my family and talking to them about my day, celebrating Chr

As I stepped into the villa, I noticed that a feverish smile was playing on my lips. Lindsay and I have been close friends ever since we first bumped into each other in one of our college fests. Having been interested in singing, we were part of a small local band in college.We never wanted to professionally pursue singing as it was more of a fun hobby to us more than anything. It fueled our friendship through the years as we shared similar tastes in music. Moreover, due to band activities, we were made to spend a good amount of time together, which inevitably helped bridge a profound friendship between us.Although she was one of my closest friends from college, the bond we shared was a bit unusual, or so it might seem to others. She was a very reserved, introverted person, and often didnโt ask for the liberty to be able to vent to me. She was somebody who was more emotionally mature than I was and didnโt feel the need to share a lot of things about herself with others.She had comp

His otherwise warm eyes, that had always reminded me of how much he loved me, had turned intolerably dark. Visibly paled, he breathed out in disbelief.โSkylar?โIt almost felt like a dream. There was something inside of me that hoped for it all to be a one of all the other nightmares I had of I meeting him again in an absurd situation, and then waking up to reality where it would just vanish away like air. But it also was so hard to regard as a dream. I was so aware of all the things that were playing through my mind that I have confined to my heart to until this moment.How could everything that happened around seven years ago just come crashing into my mind like it just happened yesterday? How could just one glance at him stir those deep buried emotions to come back to the surface, brimming with the same level of anticipation. I remained rooted in my place, unmoving.My mind was constantly trying to escape to all the past times Iโve spent with him together, as though my entire life

I had no reason to cast myself another look in the mirror, but I did it anyway. And as I lingered there for a while, the reflection of my figure faded into thin air and instead, images from my life began to play before my eyes.If this was the universe that planned my life, then it did a bloody great job.I masked my face with the veil before Ethan could notice my tears. I knew for certain that nothing could change his mind. He absolutely hated me. Which led me to believe that, maybe, it wouldnโt matter to him if he called the wedding off, and perhaps, he was doing this because he had found an excuse to hurt me.Of course, he would never agree to that. But I knew for certain that he could go to an extent as that if he knew that getting married to him was the last thing I wanted.โAre you done?โI nodded in response. And there he stood in all his glory with not even a worried crease disturbing the calm aura around him. His nonchalance almost created a ripple of frustration within me.I

The news spread around like wildfire. After the wedding was over, Ethan cancelled all of the further events since he wanted to call for an important family meeting. There was not even a single soul that didnโt look surprised upon seeing the girl Ethan married.โWhere the hell is my daughter?โ Luke demanded from Ethan.โShouldnโt I be asking you where my fiancรฉ was when I went to fetch her from her room?โ Ethan replied, shunning everyone with his dangerously low voice.โWhat are you talking about?โโShe eloped with her lover.โ He said, โLeaving me with no choice but to marry the first woman I could find in her room before this wedding could become a scandal.โโWe had a deal that youโd marry my daughter!โ Luke yelled at Ethan, looking at me with a disgust. โHow could you marry this wench after giving me your word?โโHey, watch your words.โ Jen, my best friend, said to him, coming to stand beside.I was surprised to have her by my side at a situation like this.

Ethanโs POVโYou know you donโt have to be a jerk to her for what happened seven years ago, right?โ Lexi asked me as I hugged her good bye. Skylar was talking privately with my parents while Lexi pulled me to a side for a quick chat.โIs that all youโve got to say?โ I asked her.โIf you married someone else, I wouldโve asked you to better be careful with your wife. But now, I insist on asking you to handle her with care and to not be a jerk.โโIโm old enough to know when to be a jerk.โ I replied.โExactly, but still you act like the most stupid person I ever knew in my life.โ Lexi teased me.โLexi..โ I warned her.โSee,โ Lexi said, looking at me in the eye. Her voice became serious and gone was the playful tone she was using. โI know why you did what you did. I also know that you were forced to marry Skylar and that you can do nothing about it now. Even if you plan for a divorce, you still have plenty of time to spend alongside each other and fulfil your part. And if youโre just going

Skylarโs POVThe drive to his house was calm and boring, just like the flight journey that we took a few hours ago to come to LA. Most of the time, I was in conflict with my mind if I should turn the music on to lighten up the situation. Part of my mind told me that I should totally go for it, while the other told me how it is impossible to lighten a situation up if it involves my husband.I cringed at that thought. The word husband suddenly seemed so weird. It scared me for a moment. Now, Iโll be known as some elseโs wife rather than by my own identity. People are probably going to know me better as someone that married Ethan than a good actress.But I know what people think is not always my thing to worry about. There are always going to be someone to talk about you. I canโt possibly lead a life giving a damn about everything.I blinked a few times and shook the thoughts away. We soon reached his house.

If there was one day in his calendar when Ethan let me do something for him without him returning the favour - then it was definitely his birthday.It was the day I had always looked forward to, more than anything, since it gave me an easy excuse to do things for him that were bound to make him incredibly happy.I recalled his birthday a few years ago when we flew to Paris to celebrate it. We were making love until midnight, and right when the clock struck twelve, I broke the news to him. According to him, that is still the most memorable and most cherishing moment of his life."We're pregnant," I said, my facing breaking into a huge grin.He was hovering over me, after an intense lovemaking session, and was just about to go for my lips when I uttered the words. I felt his entire body freeze under my palms as soon as he heard them and his eyes instantly shot up to mine."What?" he asked, as though he couldn't believe what he just heard.Only we knew why the news meant so much to us at

โSkylar, this outrageous! Itโs been six months!โ Ethan complained from the kitchen.โI told you Iโm not going to let you touch me until Katie and Kevin are at least five years old.โ I said, climbing up the stair to our room.The heard footsteps follow me from behind, more hastily than I mine. As I reached the last step, Ethan pulled me back by my waist and pinned me to the wall.I waited for the wall to hit my head and knock me down, but luckily for me, Ethan already anticipated it and placed his hand on my head.โI cannot wait for another four and a half years to have sex with my wife.โ he affirmed. โYou know youโre being unreasonable.โI frowned at him. โHey, youโre not the one who carried twins in your womb. Youโre not the one who almost died in labour for two whole days. And youโre not the one who pushed two very persistent babies out of your vagina just six months ago. Do you even know how that feels? Painful. And do you also know who caused that? You!โโWait, now Iโm supposed to

I fell onto my knees at that instant.Sheโs pregnant.Skylar is carrying my baby.Weโre going to have a baby.Our baby.No.No.No.Skylar needs to survive.โNo.,โ I said. โYou canโt let anything happen to her or the baby. Please.โ I begged her. โPlease save them.โโItโs a very risky job.โ She explained. โShe has a bullet inside her. And we donโt think a pregnant mother can survive it.โโNo.. she canโt just leave me alone. We cannot let our baby die.โโWeโre going to give your best. Weโll try to save both of them.โ She said.****It has been five hours already. Everyone I knew was in the hospital.I decided to not disclose about the pregnancy to anyone. Although I donโt want to be a pessimist about it, I canโt help but be practical about the situation.I knew that the odds werenโt in my favour. And if just one of them survives through the operation, I donโt want Skylar to know we were ever going to have a baby.Owen thought that was extremely cruel of me to even think about it. But I

I widened my hands and kicked them from behind but the the person was too strong. I heard them asking me to calm down in an instant I turned around to look at them.It was all dark and I could barely spot the standing figure.โSkylar, itโs me.โ Ethanโs voice rang in my ears.โEthan..โ I said breathless.The next second, I fell into his arms. He picked my face up and I felt him brush his lips against mine. Tears ran out of my eyes continuously as I clung onto him.โHow are.. what are you doing- how did you get here?โ I asked him.โI canโt tell you that right now. We need to go-โโSheโs here!!!โ I heard one of the men yell from behind us. โHeโs with her!โI could barely take in some air before Ethan pulled my hand. I sensed him pull out a gun and point it to my head. I widened my eyes in disbelief. What is he up to?โDrop your gun, or she is dead.โ I heard him.For a second I wonder if I was truly in the hands of my husband or not. Is he threatening to kill me?โAre you stupid? They kno

โHow am I ever going to recognise them!โโThey know you.โ He said. โThat shouldnโt be a problem. Once you go to them, you should obey whatever they say. You cannot-โโFine.โ I cut him off. โBut how can I trust you?โโYou simply will have to.โโThatโs not going to be enough reason.โ I said.โWell, I see you have something in mind. What is it?โI drew in some air. โI want you to send one of the girls to Stella. Only then, Iโll come.โโBloody hell. Thatโs not-โโThatโs the only way I can trust you.โ I said. โIโm just asking for you to send one of them. You can still have one girl to use against me, donโt you? I will come for her.โThere was a long pause.I gave him the time to think. I knew that what I was doing is not right. I knew I should be trusting Ethan but I canโt risk the twinsโ life on this. What Ethan canโt find them soon enough? What if Jake hurts them? I could not let that happen.I also knew the twins needed each other at that time. They could be there for each other. But if

I was obliged to stay put inside our confined room for hours. Not a single message. Not a single phone call.Ethan kept himself busy with the search for the girls whilst keeping a bunch of men around our house.I highly doubted if I needed, since Jake would never pull an ordinary stunt like that. He is smart. He is capable of doing something that no one expects. Not even us, who know him better than anyone else.If Jake is really obsessed with the idea of pursuing me, he will have nothing to do with the girls. He will set them free, but it will have a price to pay.All I want is for Ethan and his men to find the girls before he hurts them and uses them against us. His actions will do no good for anyone. Not even to himself, at a point.I sighed and rested on the couch. Right then, I got a call.โYes?โ I answered into the phone.โWhere are you?โ Ethan asked.โI am still here in the place you locked me in.โโCan you elaborate?โโNo.โ I replied.โSkylar.โ He called out my name in a warni

โIโm.. Ethan you donโt have to.. I.. uh.. just stop this freaking blood!โ I said, uncertain about the words that were lingering at the tip of my tongue. i couldnโt comprehend my thoughts. A part of me was feeling terrible to see him like this. But a part of him was still upset that he hadn't believed it. It wasn't the first time it was happening. He chose to trust somebody else's words over mine and it cost us our relationship.He obviously feels more responsible for what happened. But this was bound to happen anyways. I wouldโve been attacked at any cost. Jake and Luke are not the kind of people that would let me go without trying for it a million times. Our only regret is to have Mila and Evie pay for it.โYes.. just a second.โ He ducked down and grabbed something from one of the drawers. He poured some liquid into it and put it too my neck in a hurry.I winced in pain and pushed his hand away.โI.. Iโm sorry, did it hurt?โ He asked, panic evident in his eyes.Of course, it did!โNo

โGet me the girls!โ I said, pushing away a pair of hands coming my way.โMaโam, we need to stop the blood-โ one of the men that rushed into the parking lot right after the lights were turned on spoke in a hurry.โWhereโs Ethan?โ I asked him. โCall him right now! Tell him that the girls-โโWhat girls, maโam?โ The man asked. โWe havenโt seen any-โI stroke my hand right across his face. His face was filled with bewilderment as he clutched the side of his cheek.โIโm not fucking hallucinating! Go check your security cameras and you will find two girls with me. Hoe the fuck does this mall work? Do you honestly not notice when a kidnapper comes in and takes away kids? What-โI cut myself off when I found someone coming my way. In an instant, Stella was before me.โWhere are my girls?โ Stella asked, looking around. โWhere are they? Are they in the car?โโStella, you need to listen to me. The girls.. The girls arenโt here.โ I said in a low voice.โWhat do you mean theyโre not here?โ She aske
