Trapped Chapter 67 - Something about the past
Aiden I had no idea how long I remained sitting on the floor. I was running my hands through my hair and repeating everything in my head. I had too much to mull over, but no thought formed in my mind. I could grab nothing solid. It was like all that awaited me was a vast black nothingness. As if a cosmic vacuum was sucking on my soul. I knew in my heart that Sydney wasn't lying. Mike had probably manipulated her. Never in my life had I ever forced a woman to bed and now not only had I hurt Sydney, but I also had made things worse. She would never trust me again. I sprang up and hurried over to our bedroom. I half expected the room to be deserted, but there she was, lying on the bed. I approached her and took a seat beside her. Her eyes were closed and her face was concealed beneath her arm. Her respiration was shallow, but her lungs continued to take in air. Her heartbeat thumped against the side of her neck, which I could see. "Syd," I struggled to find the right words. "I am sorr
Trapped Chapter 68 - The dirty past
Fiona Thomas Malcolm Reiner was a highly sought-after bachelor in those times. Like all Reiner men, he was gorgeous and charming. True, his wealth added to his allure, but I didn't marry him for his money; I married him because I loved him. At least, that's what a part of me thought. I was young and ignorant when I found out I was expecting a child. In contrast to popular belief. Thomas was the one who insisted on getting married. I wanted to end my pregnancy and pursue a career as an actress. He persuaded me to marry him and take up the name Mrs Reiner. Even if his father, the senior Reiner, was against it. It wasn't until later that I realised Thomas was a spoiled brat. He was a drug addict and a playboy who dabbled in all forms of immorality. He also had affairs with the wives of some of his executives. Paul Munoz, his right-hand man, had a lovely wife named Angela. I had suspected Thomas was having an affair with her for a long time. Thomas and I had quarreled that night. I char
Trapped Chapter 69 - Regrets
Aiden "I have a question for you, Grandpa. I believe it is past time for you to tell me the truth about what happened twenty years ago." I inquired, my gaze fixed on Grandpa. Fiona's revelations about dad had left me numb. I didn't know what to make of it; it felt as if my entire existence had been a lie. I needed to know the truth, despite the fact that I knew she wasn't lying. But it was important for me to hear it from Grandpa. I hoped he'd just tell me it was all a lie. I found Grandpa in his room. It was still early for breakfast, he had just finished his physiotherapy with the help of the nurse. I asked her to leave us alone. Grandpa returned my gaze and stayed silent for a while. "Aiden, what do you want to know?" "Grandpa, could you please tell me what happened to the Munoz family?" He blinked twice. "We've discussed this previously..." I exhaled deeply. "Grandpa, Fiona told me everything," I responded quietly. "What else do you want to know?" he asked, giving me a lon
Trapped Chapter 70 - Betrayals
Sydney Neither Leah nor Mike answered the phone when I called. It wasn't surprising; it was still early, and they'd most likely be sleeping. I was slightly out of breath by the time I got to Leah's floor. Fortunately, I still retained my old flat's extra key. I opened the door and went inside. Switching on the light, I checked Leah's bedroom. It was empty, the whole flat was empty. It wasn't that big, to miss any corner. Perhaps Leah stayed the night with her new boyfriend. She was smitten with one of her classmates. I decided to look around Mike's place. I approached his door and was ready to knock when it opened and Mike strolled out. He was dressed strangely in a jumpsuit that appeared to be some kind of uniform. It dawned on me that he was also wearing a lot of makeup. He looked just like the dude in the video! "Mike!" I exclaimed, my gaze fixed on him. Mike took a quick look around before dragging me inside and closing the door. I was too startled to feel anything, so I said,
Trapped Chapter 71 - Captured
Aiden Sydney had been missing for hours. I went to her old apartment, checked at Mike's place and both flats were unoccupied. Though her car was parked near the building. Did she run away with him? NO! My heart refused to believe that. My phone ran again and this time it was Michael – "We caught him, Mr Reiner," he said, "the suspect on that tape we caught." "Mike?" I inquired. "You won't believe what he was trying to do. He was attempting to blow up our weapons storage facility! We discovered him trying to enter with forged credentials. He is adamant on speaking with you. What are your recommendations? Should we contact the authorities?" "No! I'll be there in an hour, so don't call the police ".I thanked my lucky stars over the phone for the breakthrough. After that, I contacted Clifton. "I'd like you to do something for me, Clifton." "Yes?" He answered. "Check on Eric Randall, the owner of the Emerald theatre, to find out his whereabouts. Follow him when you find him. Also,
Trapped Chapter 72 - It's getting dangerous
Eric couldn't believe their good luck in capturing Sydney so quickly. Aiden would have no choice but to succumb to his whims and fancies, with her as a hostage. He no longer needed his complex plot to eliminate the Reiners. "So, what are your plans for her? Can I try her out first?" William inquired, his face beaming. Eric gave a withering look at William. 'What an Idiot! Soon he and his entire family would be rotting in hell! And all he cares for is getting laid.' Eric thought with great satisfaction. He gave William a cunning smile. "First, let us wake up our little whore." "Eric, this...this whole thing is getting out of hand! You... you never said there would be innocent lives involved!" Marilyn stammered, wringing her hands nervously. If only she knew that Eric was a psychopath who would be killing off so many people, she would never have agreed to join his mad plan. All she wanted was Aidan. "Marilyn, you agreed to join us, don't you want Aiden? You're not backing out now,
Trapped Chapter 73 - Race for rescue
- Aiden Mike was bundled off by the police. The detective lingered and fixed his gaze on me. "I'm Detective Conan, and the chief contacted me about your missing wife. How many hours has she been missing?" He inquired idly. "I assume she has been kidnapped for around six hours. There hasn't been a demand for ransom yet, but I expect one soon "I said. "So, Mr Reiner, how may I assist you?" The detective was curious. I said, lifting an eyebrow at him, "Of course, help me find my wife." "I heard the suspect, your wife has only been missing for.... like six hours. And she left home willingly. It's still too early to…" I cut him off before he could finish. "I get it, but this is different; I'm sure she's in great danger." My rage was growing once more. "We are doing all we can, Mr Reiner, but there are certain procedures and protocols which have to be followed," the detective explained. "I believe I made it clear to the Commissioner that I needed someone I could trust, someone who
Trapped Chapter 74 - Confrontation
Aiden Fiona's eyes widened, and William appeared perplexed. Eric appeared shocked at first, but then his face erupted into a broad smile, followed by a wild laugh. "What did you call him? Who the fuck is Javier?" William asked. "Damn you Aiden! I wish you weren't so smart. Now you've spoiled my fun," Eric cribbed, still laughing. "Fun? You call this fun ?" I pointed to the lifeless bodies of Rob and Marilyn. "Aiden, there are main characters, antagonists, and extras in a play. Usually, the extras perish. They were only there as extras." As if this was a drama for him, he explained. "So this is play for you? You are a psychopath, Javier!" I said through clenched teeth. "Woah! Hold on! Why do you keep referring to him as Javier?" William inquired again, his face annoyed. Fiona looked at Eric as if he had grown horns. She was visibly trembling. "No! It's not possible, "she exclaimed, covering her mouth. "Surprised? Are you? I suppose you recall your husband's actions." Eric smil
