SLEEPING NEXT TO A STRANGER CHAPTER 128
NINA. My preparations to see Drew at our son's school were interrupted as I sat before the mirror, thoughts of Morel's disappearance taking over me. "Oh, poor Morel," I cried, images forming in my mind of every possible torture he might be going through, and I felt tears welling. "I can't imagine the torture you are going through, but Daddy and Mommy are coming to your rescue," I said, shaking emotionally. I walked to the wardrobe and, almost mindlessly, brought out a black dress for me to wear as I lost my focus. Buzz, zzz, my phone rang: the babes on the screen. Drew. I picked it up in an instant. "Hello, baby," I told him to try and sound normal. "My love, they're asking for ransom," he said tonelessly, worried and concerned. "Ransom? How? Why?" I asked, trying to clear my mind as I was flooded with a million questions. "I don't know, they are asking for a ransom of about $30k," he said, breaking down in emotions adding to the already growing crisis. This is serious, I swole

DREW. I told her, with a stern voice but desperate eyes, "Woman, your sorry isn't a remedy or a solution; I want my son." Anger and frustration were boiling in me, brimming, ready to spill over anytime. The eyes of the Headmistress showed tears, reflecting the deep worry and concern etched on her face. "I will explain everything for you, sir, please just take it easy," she pleaded with a shaking voice. "If you don't ease up on your temper, then nothing will be brought up in the discussion, and I ask you to now start telling us the beginning of everything." Williams remained very mild but rather firm. "Okay sir I will do just that, sir." She nodded her head and took every single bit of air that was left in the room. "The Grade 5A class went for a vacation," she started, hesitated, and then spoke in a very hesitant voice. "Vacation?" I asked, squinting in confusion. "Morel didn't inform me of that." After the vacation, the kids were allowed to get ice cream, and they all

ASHLEY. I said to Ezra, almost whispering, that "I think we should give Sandra the money, honey." I felt his hesitance, knowing that he wasn't completely sure about what was to happen, but knowing well that it would come to him in due course. "You think so?" was the incredulous inquiry he shot my way. "Yeah, I think so," I said, in a very firm and resolute voice. I knew it was going to be a risk giving money to Sandra, yet it was what was needed if we were to protect our reputation and our relationship. "Fine, in such a case, you can call her and transfer the money," he said resignedly in a voice as if he had come to terms with everything. "But that's way too much, sweetheart," He objected, raising his voice towards we. The asked for amount was exorbitant and I knew immediately that it would cripple our finances. "Yea, I know, but trust me, we're gonna make the money back," I said in a very convincing tone. I knew it was an investment well needed, a sacrifice we had to make for

DREW. "Williams," I shouted at once with firmness and authority. He was like a friend to me too aside being my worker who had stood by my family through the years-The Code of Ethics has never been broken. "Yes, sir," Williams said calmly and respectfully, stepping lightly into the doorway. "I want you to please escort me to my son's school," I instructed him in a controlled voice, allowing my mounting tension to spill into my thoughts. "I hope there's no problem, sir," he said, his voice imbued with concern behind my tones of restraint. He has known me long enough to read when something is the matter. "No, I'm quite okay...," I tried calming myself down as well as possible, but it was far from true. My senses were being lost. I felt as if the invisible sea of uncertainty and fear was now surrounding me. "I'm losing my senses," I kept telling myself, my mind echoing the thought. I was falling apart, like the loosely woven threads of my once carefully structured world were now fal

NINA. My secluded room housed many objects that were all familiar to me-from furniture to decorations-as I sat, but my mind thronged everything of anxious thoughts and emotions. I did not know how to stop the auction and the gravity of my helplessness was upper leaning on me as if it were an actual force. I was scrolling through my phone, my fingers moving absently while I searched for a solution, but every path seemed to have an exclamation point at the end. I wanted to talk, to have someone listen about my worries about everything and if maybe that someone had some words to share: maybe, possibly, probably, that would work. That person would be Alex, friend and confidant, so I decided to call him. So, dialing the number, I did so while listening to my heart thunder before he would pick up his receiver. Answered on the first ring; his voice was as calm as "Hello," Alex said, tone very smoothing to frazzled nerves. "Alex," I finally greeted, almost a whisper. "Hi Laurel, how are

ASHLEY. Each and every slight word had been captured. I could feel myself being crushed under the weight of the world as I watched in horror as my brain was busy with thoughts of how everything could be ruined by this event, whilst at the back of my mind, I wondered how things could turn out, though the clarity of the audio allowed me to hear my very own husky, intimate voice talking to Ezra about the baby and the plans. Sandra could see my squirming, and her grin stretched even wider, her eyes twinkling with the flames of triumph. "You're just in trouble, Ashley," she said, with all the satisfaction in the world. "You're going to regret threatening me." And with that, she spun and walked off, leaving me standing there with sinking internal dread. I had to act fast because this audio needed to be kept away. The phone was out, and in a moment, calls were on the way to Ezra. My fingers quivered with urgency. "Ezra, it's Sandra," I said, as firmly as I could. "There's an audio of
