LOGINNAYLA’S POVI climbed into the back seat of the car, glancing at the two guards in the front. Doctor Drew hadn’t come with us; he drove his own car, leaving me in the company of these men whose loyalty lay with Marco.On the way to the hospital I pressed my forehead against the window, staring at the streets and buildings i had seem to almost forget. I could even see the route to my house!Part of me wanted to plead with the men, I wanted to plead with them so that they could release me and let me go home. But how could I? There was no way they would want to risk their lives for me……not when none of them wanted to be beheaded because of a random girl like me.Sitting upright, I let out a heavy sigh, my heart aching for all the things I had lost. I missed being outside, I missed the feeling of freedom… “You do not know what you have until you lose it,” I remember hearing this quote a while back, and right now, it all made sense to me.I never felt the feeling of freedom; I never knew t
NAYLA’S POV.I was led to the living room where Marco and the doctor sat across from each other.“Fuck!” How could I have forgotten that he said he would return with the results? What did it say? Was I really pregnant? And why did Marco look so furious?He turned to me, his eyes a storm of anger mixed with disappointment. I felt a wave of confusion crash over me, my legs trembling slightly as I struggled to hold myself up.“Doctor Drew just arrived with your results…” He paused, taking a deep, shaky breath, as if the next words were too heavy to bear.“It came out negative. You’re not pregnant; you’re just… sick.” His voice was low and cold. Was this the reason for his anger? The fact that my test results were negative? Damnmit!Fuck!This can’t be what I feared. He was angry because I wasn’t pregnant? which also meant he couldn’t trap me by claiming a child.(which was his whole plan all along)“You are to follow Doctor Drew to the hospital, where you’ll be treated for a couple of da
ROY’S POV.I can’t believe we trusted Luke. That bastard! My fists clutched at the steering wheel as anger surged through me. I regretted not hurting him the moment I had the chance. How could he pretend not to know anything about Nayla’s abduction? When everything literally happened under his watch. I could feel the heat rising in my chest; it was so infuriating that I needed to unleash it on him so bad. No wonder……No wonder that man had access to all that equipment….how blind and dumb was I not to see it?Dealing with Luke had to be later, because all I could think about was Nayla. I couldn't bear the idea of anything happening to her. If something did… I’d burn the whole hotel building down, taking everyone with it. That’s how far I’d go for her.“Buzz! Buzz!” My phone vibrated against the dashboard of my car, pulling me from my thoughts. I reached for it, glancing at the screen to see Collin’s name….Gosh, I hope he was okay.“Collin,” I said, my voice firm as my eyes remained fi
MARCO’S POV.I sat at the dining table, drinking a cup of coffee, while I waited for breakfast to get ready.My phone buzzed with a notification against the table and I picked it up, squinting at my screen.“Boss,” I looked up to see Dave, ine of my men standing before me, heads slightly bowed.“What is it?” I asked, annoyed at his interruption.“Doctor Drew has just arrived, should I let him in?” He asked. I sat up, dropping my phone back on the table.“Of course, let him in…….I am expecting him,” I said, taking a sip from my coffee as I watched Dave walk away.“He must have been here with the text results……Ah! Thank God. I could barely sleep through the night because of how hopeful and excited I was..If Nayla happened to be pregnant, which I know she is. That’s would only mean, her baby father wouldn’t be so present in her life…..I remember she told me on our last date that they both broke up.Or wait! I have an idea….I will try my best to convince her not to tell him about the bab
COLLIN’S POV.Before any of us could react, the sound of multiple footsteps echoed down the hallway, growing louder by the second. My heart raced, a cold shiver running down my spine. “I think they are here for us. We’ll have to defend ourselves if they attack,” Roy said, his eyes narrowed and serious.Suddenly, the door burst open, slamming against the wall with a bone-jarring thud. Four masked men stormed in, guns drawn, and instantly aimed at us. Since when did hotel security guards wear masks? Or have multiple tattoos? These men looked like they walked straight out of hell. They looked nothing like security men….. they weren’t even on uniforms.Detective Charles raised his hands swiftly, his expression calm but focused. “Wait! I’m Detective Charles,” he said, pulling out his ID, holding it high.Maybe he could convince them that we had the right to search this room. Because since two weeks and counting. We haven’t seen or heard from Nayla.But before he could say another word, o
“What seems to be the issue?” Detective Charles asked. His brow furrowed in concern.Roy took a breath, clearly trying to stay composed. “Nayla was abducted from the hotel room. A man disguised as the room service took her; threatening her with a gun,” he said, his voice a bit shaky as he spoke. “We’ve seen the footage from the CCTV camera..we’ve also seen his face and he was recognized by the security staff but they currently cannot locate him.”Charles nodded, placing his hand against his jaw as he considered what Roy had just told him. “Did you check the room as well? The room she had stayed in?”“I tried,” Roy replied, a hint of frustration creeping into his voice. “But my high school friend owns the hotel. He let us watch the footage instead.”A frown creased Charles’s brow as he shook his head in dissatisfaction. “You need to check the room. Either your friend has a hand in this, or one of the staff does…even the security staff who was able to recognize the abductor. We need to
