"Oh I didn't notice you there." I was startled when I turned to go back into the room and met him perched in the corner."Hungry?" He asked."Uhm yeah." It was on the tip of my tongue to ask if he heard anything from my conversation with Marv but then I decided against it."Get dressed. We're going for dinner." He said and walked away. I followed him with my eyes, searching for any signs of annoyance but he seemed fine. Why was I so worried about him hearing the details of that conversation though? Marv was right, he was treating me nice for a reason so I couldn't let myself be fooled by his sweet gestures no matter what.I got dressed in a nice two piece maternity outfit that accentuated my bump to perfection. Maybe it was something about Santorini, but I was sure getting my groove on and admitting to myself that I was a beautiful pregnant woman.I wanted to try everything on that exclusive cuisine table. The aroma of the meals teased my nostrils so much, I had to order for takeouts.

I glanced through the archives on my computer and blinked back a few tears that tried to escape. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would. I was truly sorry for all I did and though there was a sort of calm now, I knew it was simply the calm before the raging thunderstorm that was going to hit me.I thought back to Hannah. We had a great time in Santorini, she didn't want to leave. To be honest, I didn't want to leave either. Confessing that I had developed a soft spot for her was a spontaneous but deliberate move. It was a way to keep her on my side if things went south. I needed her to be in love with me by the time things would get a little rough. It sounds selfish, I know, but I couldn't let her out of my sight and away from my side. It was too much of a risk. I hated having to lie to her but it was necessary in this case."Zach?""Babe!" I quickly shut down the computer before she could come closer and see what it showed me."Your parents are downstairs. They want you to c

I hated how I had to go to the bathroom all the time. Seemed like my bladder had forgotten that I was human and being heavily pregnant made it difficult for me to get on my feet every two minutes for a freaking bathroom break!I had paced the length and breadth of this room, dialing Zach's phone but he wasn't picking up. He wasn't even back yet and I had a lot of questions for him. Lots of them.I dialed his number again and it went straight to voicemail. Where the heck had this man gone, leaving me worried sick?Mama had waited up with me, even Zara did too but then they had both gotten tired and decided to sleep. Almost like I had developed insomnia all of a sudden, I couldn't get a wink of sleep. Finding a good sleeping position with how heavy I was had become such a chore so I didn't want to lay down comfortably, only to get up again whenever he arrived."Zachary Hawkins where are you?" I muttered, looking at the time once again. It was past midnight already and I was beginning

"Are you alright?" I glanced up as I heard her mother question her downcast demeanor. Putting the meal that she was to eat aside, she glanced up at us."I want to be discharged already. I hate it here.""The doctor hasn't given you the clear." I"I'm fine." "He insisted on bed rest." I said to ease helplessness on her mother's face."Why don't you want me to go home? What are you hiding this time?" "Why would I be hiding anything from you?""Isn't that all you do?" "Erm, I'll think I'll excuse you both." My mother-in-law's tired sigh was the last thing that dropped before a stretch of silence as she left the room. Hannah glared at me furiously."Why do you want to create a scene? You want to fight when you're not even strong enough?""I've been stuck here for a week, Zachary. I want to go back to the house.""Our home." I corrected."It doesn't feel like a home. A home built on lies doesn't suffice for that title.""What lie are you accusing me of this time?" I was sick of her her

"Hannah?" I shut my eyes and exasperatedly sighed out. "Yes mama?" I still had my back turned to her. "Time to go home. Zach sent the driver." "About time," I muttered. I took a slow walk to the bathroom. A sudden rush of goosebumps crowded my arm and I shivered at the oddity of the cold air that surrounded me all of a sudden. I felt an odd presence. Walking through the hallway had me feeling even worse. From the corner of my eye, I spotted a strange figure lurking in a corner. It felt like it was following me with its eye. I speed walked and met up with Mama, carefully looking around to be sure whoever that was, wasn't following us. "Is something wrong?" Mama asked me. I shook my head quickly. "No, I just can't wait to get home." "Awwwn. I'm sure Zach misses you too." "Not everything is about Zach, mama." I rolled my eyes at the thought of her still believing that Zach and I had such a cute way of getting on each other's nerves. I hated that m

"OMG!!!" I jumped as soon as I heard Marv's scream. Then I rolled my eyes because it was typical of her and therefore expected."You look amazing Hannah." She gushed."Thank you." I giggled. "Zach hasn't seen me yet, I wonder what his reaction would be."Her smile dropped instantly. "Really Hannah?""What?" I was genuinely confused. "You're falling way too deep for this man." She remarked sourly.I frowned. "Who said anything about falling in love? Zach and I have an understanding.""Hasn't he disrespected you enough? He doesn't even regard you as a wife! He doesn't even care about yo-""Can you stop?!" I yelled before I could stop myself. "This is a happy moment for me Marv, please don't ruin it."Zara had already done enough damage. I didn't need Marv adding to that."Just trying to look out for you, that's all." She said."Thank you, but stop it.""Your word, not mine." She walked away. I instantly wanted to apologize but then again, I didn't.I stepped out to meet with the swarm

I woke up in a dark room. Not even a glimpse of light in sight. I let out a shivery breath as the coldness of the room bit into my skin, sinking its claws in to incite a painful chill. "Where am I?" I croaked in a whisper. My throat was painfully parched. I stayed still for several seconds, forcing myself to recall what had brought me to this point. Suddenly the lights came on and the unanticipated entrance of illumination flooded my eyes so much, I had to snap them shut. "I see you're awake." His voice echoed through the empty room. "I just knew." I palmed my face in exhaustion. "Excuse me?" "I mean who else would want to ruin my baby shower by abducting me, if not my husband's nemesis?" I rhetorically questioned. "That's how low you think of me? Your 'husband's nemesis' ?" He mimicked me with a sneer. "What do you want from me? Why are you trying to kill me?" I don't know where all this courage was coming from but I was sure that running my mouth with this man was a very dang

"He killed her! He fucking murdered her!" Hex looked like he was having a mental breakdown."My sweet, sweet Carrie..." He cried out.I was shaking like a leaf by the time he was done with his tantrum. I don't know what scared me more - The fact that a grown man was throwing a tantrum in front of me or that the man I was married to happened to be a cold blooded killer.Then it made sense. The weapons, shoot outs, long trips, shady movements, calls and late nights. Zach was part of the underworld and as stupid as I was (Pregnancy brain included) I could not figure it out. I was so dumb."Five years ago, I got a call from Carrie. She sounded terrified, she wanted me to come get her because Zach was acting up again. I thought it was another one of their petty squabbles until she told me he had a gun." "She didn't know about you guys." I said knowingly."I couldn't tell her. Carrie," he chuckled. "She was too morally upright to accept that kind of thing. He wanted to quit for her but Adri
