_KIMBERLY_
I slowly opened my eyes with a loud groan. Everything was spinning and my head hurt. Sitting up, I took in my surrounding.
My drowsiness immediately disappeared when I realized that I was in another place. I was in a small room with no windows. The walls were painted with dark grey paint and despite not being tied up, my joints felt strained.
I sat up and stretched. How long was I out? I looked around the room and noticed a camera on the corner of the ceiling.
"You're finally awake." William's voice echoed in the tiny space.
"You've been out for two hours."
"Where am I?" I asked with a frown.
"Some place somewhere. Details shouldn't be that important to you."
"Asshole."
He laughed. "It's funny because you still don't realize the position that you are in even now."
"You said that you would hear me out. Why are you breaking your word again?"
"I'm sorry, Rose, I

_OLIVER_ "How are her movements?" Detective Jun asked the other officer who came along with him. He hummed as he stared through the binoculars. "She's been standing there for a while." "They are probably waiting to see if someone is waiting for her." "Maybe, but we are too far to notice." He dropped the binoculars for a moment before looking through them again. "A car just parked a small distance from her." "Who's in the car?" I asked from the backseat. "Relax," Nick, the detective's co-worker, answered. "It's a blonde man." I hummed as I thought of anyone, except Ana, who was blonde. Detective Jun looked over his shoulder at me. "Are you sure about coming along?" I frowned. "I told you that I'm not going to stay home while this operation is going on." "You already have a broken arm. What will you do if something bad happens?" "We already went through those type of ques

_KIMBERLY_I stirred in my sleep with a groan as I shifted my body slightly on the bed that I was sleeping on. My throat was dry and I felt like I was drowning in an abyss of darkness.I began to wonder what happened as I kept my eyes closed. The last thing that I remember was the sound of gun shots and the heavy footsteps that got louder as William got angrier. Did Oliver and the others manage to save me or did William get away with me?I could just open my eyes to know the answer. It was simple. That was sensible enough but I couldn't bring myself to do so. What if things didn't go according to plan? I did not want to be pushed into that harsh reality.William was never going to change. Knowing that saddened me but it made me stop hoping for it. During our conversation, he would twist my words in a way that made sense to him and I could see in his eyes that he truly hated me despite declaring his love.The gentle touch of cold

_OLIVER_The day - and business - went by slowly. Usually, that isn't a good sign, but it was just for the day anyway.Slow though the day went, business was too thick and heavier than usual. I guess that's what I get for taking over the family business because my older sister got a sudden passion for music and left the company all to me when I was twenty-two years old. I didn't mind the work because honestly speaking, I expected her to abandon ship much earlier.Most of the shareholders complained that I was too young and lacked appropriate experience to run the company but nobody argues better than Judd Woodling, my father, who seemed to be more than agreeable to my succession.Woodling Incoparated is a large company with many branches that specializes in software. It is a family inheritance privilege. This company has been in my family for so long that I don't even remember the founder's name. I just know that he was from New Zealan

_OLIVER_ I leaned back into the comfortable armchair in my study as my eyes skimmed through the contents on my computer screen. The way things were looking, I needed to contact the Human Resource Department to deal with finding a new closer and lawyer for the next conference. My father had signed a contract with Inofex last month and that meant that another branch of Woodling Inc. would be made in Egypt. Stretching my arms above my head, I yawned and dropped my arms before staring back at the computer. I loved this job and all, but it really took a toll on me sometimes. It was Friday and despite my roudy social circles, I haven't had the leisure to go out for a while now. With all the paperwork that I was bombarded with, going out to a pub or somewhere lively to enjoy my night would be almost sinful. "What a lousy Friday you are," I muttered under my breath, wishing that I could unleash my wrath onto the week.

_KIMBERLY_ "Yes, perfect," I said happily. "Let's try that again. One two three, one two three, one two th-" I cut myself short. "Jen arms wide, your wrists below like so." I demonstrated and she copied. "Excellent." One. Two. Three. One. Two. Three. One. Two. Three. "Grace, elegance and posture. Dance is the essence of life. Let the music speak for you," I instructed. Ever since I was young, ballet dancing was my life. It expressed me the finest and explained the emotions that I couldn't describe with words. It calmed me and, most importantly, it kept me sane. It saddened me that I would one day grow too old for it so, I wanted to enjoy as much as I could while my body could allow it. This class wasn't so bad. Well, most of the students' technique was poor but nothing that couldn't be fixed. That's why the

_KIMBERLY_ I gingerly walked down the hall of the three story building of my apartment. My eyes were downcast as I fidgeted with the straps of my black handbag. My room was on the top floor but I took my time because I was in no hurry to get there. With every agonising arrival, I was greeted by an empty room and the usual lonely hollowness that swallowed me. A quiet abyss that would either grant me peace or give voice to my pain. I laughed at myself. After residing in that same room for the past five years, I should be used to it by now. Running away from home to start afresh didn't seem to be working out for me. Each day brought new paranoia and it wasn't a good feeling to live with. Sometimes I even felt like I was going crazy. I swallowed the knot that formed in my throat and let out a tight smile when I stepped out of the elevator. I was a "cheerful" woman and I couldn't be caught wallowing in self-pity. I had to look as

_KIMBERLY_ I watched the class stand in front of the mirrors with their hands on the barres, as they practiced leg movements and arabesques. "Relax your bodies, children. Take calm breaths and remember the tips we went through earlier. Please don't strain yourselves," I instructed as I went around supervising and helping the children that needed extra attention. Mozart's Don Giovanni, took hold of the background and some of the students were making their own moves as they practiced. This song's soft tune and sharp tones made it one of my favourites and I couldn't help but hum along with a small smile. After my rounds were done, I looked out the window at the beautiful clear sky. The entire wall on the right was glass and the view beyond it was a paved path with a few trees beyond it. The view wasn't anything unique or breathtaking but it was peaceful. People rarely walked there and after a few minutes of staring, my mind wandered.
