Tonight didn’t decide shit.

Darius was already lying on the floor when everything started. Strangely enough, I found that part funny. But before I could even worry about him, someone’s shadow fell over my chair.

The person spoke.

The voice was deep, but my ears were too heavy with alcohol to understand the words. Everything sounded like a distant noise.

The figure lifted me carefully

    Arielle After I told Ryder everything, he paced inside his cage for almost five minutes. I was getting angry. “Stop pacing and say something!” I snapped. “What are we going to do? They’re looking for me!”Ryder finally turned to face me. “This is big.”“I’m scared he might do to Darius and his parents if they don’t find me.”“I’m still trying to figure out who leaked those pictures. Who could do something—““Fuck the pictures, okay?!” I snapped. “I don’t care anymore. I just don’t want anything bad to happen. Especially not now.”Our eyes stayed locked for a moment. “Please…” I whispered. “Tell me you know a way to get us out of here.”He swallowed. “I’m afraid I don’t. It’ll be too hard to leave without them noticing.”“We have to try.”He rubbed his forehead. My face tightened with anger. “I’m sure you knew a day like this would come. Why don’t you have a plan already? Why are we still here, Ryder?”“It’s your father we are talking about,” he said firmly. “He’ll have my brother

    Arielle This person kept sending more pictures and even videos to both our phones. “Who is this?” I asked again, my mind racing. “Do you think this person is trying to blackmail us?”Darius sighed heavily. “I don’t think so. It must be something else.”“What—“The door opened. I thought it was Lisa, but a man walked in instead. “I knew it was a wedding ceremony. Your mother just lied to me to cover it up.”I didn’t recognize the voice. But the face—“Father?” Darius said, slowly getting up.My heart sank. I had seen that face before. It was truly Darius’s father.Darius tried to shake his hands, but his father stopped him. “Not now, son,” he raised a finger, then his eyes went straight to me. “I just came to confirm something. Is it my eyes, or does she look like Vivienne?”His father stared at me. A lump formed in my throat instantly. Vivienne. My mother. Was I getting out of this situation, or was I just getting pulled deeper into it?“Dad, come on—““What’s going on, son?” Hi

    Arielle “You passed out an hour ago,” Dr. Liam explained. “Your heart rate increased significantly while you were unconscious.”He studied me. “Did you experience anything unusual before you lost consciousness?” Any dizziness? Nausea? Chest discomfort? Anything at all?”I hesitated. I didn’t know how to explain what happened. Not the dream, and certainly not what she said about a baby. Then Darius spoke. “For the past three days, my wife has been feeling nauseous and tired. Does that help?”“Absolutely, sir.”My eyes immediately drifted toward Darius. Why did he say that?“Well, what does it mean?” Darius asked. Dr. Liam stared at me for a moment before returning his eyes to Darius. “We’ll run a few blood tests and be back with the results soon. Then we can discuss what's going on and decide what to do next.”Blood test?“Thank you, doctor," Darius said. The doctor whispered a few more words to the nurse as they both walked out of the room. I finally turned toward Darius. “Dari

    Arielle This was just like my dream. My smile disappeared. I couldn’t tell them apart, but I knew because Ryder was still locked up in Darius’s house.And there was no way he could’ve been here. He clearly said he wasn’t planning to show his face right now.His footsteps suddenly sounded louder than they should have. Summer’s touch made me snap out of my thoughts. “Huh?”She studied me carefully. “I couldn’t find you that’s why I came out here to look for you. I thought you left with your grandma.”I sighed heavily before nodding with a smile. “I actually wanted to. But I couldn’t because of you guys.”I glanced back. He was still there.“Are you okay?” Summer asked me. “Uhuh yeah, I’m totally fine,” I continued nodding. “Let’s go back inside.”I urged her forward. As we walked back into the house, I kept glancing over my shoulder. Over and over again. And Ryker kept walking in our direction.Panic shot through my chest.

    Arielle A wedding officiant stood between us as we began saying our vows. “Darius,” I began slowly. “When I first met you the night I bumped your car, I never imagined that one day I'd be standing here, promising to spend the rest of my life with you.”I smiled as I read from my note.“No matter how far I pushed myself away, I still find myself closer to you…than ever. You've loved me through my worst moments, protected me when I couldn't protect myself, and made me feel safe even when everything around me felt like it was falling apart.”I glanced at him and smiled. “You're stubborn, by the way, but you’re still a gentleman.”Everyone laughed, including Darius."You’re the man who makes me feel the most loved,” I continued softly. “You’re my everything, and I promise to love you, support you, annoy you, and choose you till death do us part."I smiled, holding back my tears."I love you, Darius. And I'm so happy I get to call you my husband."People applauded instantly as I folded m
