Susan glances out of the window, her heart racing with excitement as she sees John's car pull up outside. She feels a surge of joy as she realizes John is here to pick her up and take her to Ketty's house. It's been a busy week since she hasn't seen the time to talk with him, one on one as besties do. She quickly grabs her coat and runs outside, "bro!" She embraces John with a big smile and a warm hug."Can't believe you actually came. I'm glad you came this early. I was getting bored in this big mansion all alone by myself." She exclaims, feeling so much happy.John smiles back at her, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Of course it's me! Who else will it be?" he replies, a hint of pride in his tone.Susan laughs, feeling her heart skip a bit. "I don't know, maybe Ketty herself?" she teases, winking at him.John shakes his head, chuckling softly. "Noo, she's too busy these days and currently now arranging for your..." He sniffs in gently. "Er... Ermm. You seem too busy," he says, a

Another morning and the start of the week. Xander is eager to get going. Away from home in a hotel for a business trip. After getting ready for the day, he picks up his phone and dials Susan's number. Yelling to hear her sweet, calming voice for him to start his week. And also to know how she is faring over the cramps. In just one ring Susan picks the call as if she's being staring at her phone, expecting him to call."Good morning, Susan," he mutters when she picks up. "How are you feeling today?" Susan stretches and groans on the other end. "Ugh, it's still the same way you left me, but I'm okay though.""Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that," Xander replies sympathetically. "Is there anything I can do to help?" He inquires of her to ease him of the guilt not been with her at the moment.Susan pauses for a moment. "Actually, I took some painkillers and as long as am with a doctor, I could not feel pains. Thanks for asking Ketty to take care of me. I'm really grateful.""Of course, you wil

"Good morning, ma'am!" Mr Martin waves at Susan as she enters."Good morning Martin." She adjusts her dress with haste, trying to be more coordinated than the other days, then a phone call vibrates her bag, and she quickly grabs it. "Hello, Ava!" Her voice lit up with a small smile, pretending like she wasn't bothered earlier when she called. "Long time, no see. How are you doing over there?""I'm fine, thanks." Ava continues, "Oh, great! As you know, I'm on a business trip with the boss. We just finished up a meeting with some potential clients. Currently resting for the launch this afternoon. It was a great experience, but I miss you and the rest of the team."Susan smiles, finding it hard to believe, "I miss you too, Ava." She swallows hard a bitter taste to let go of Ava's words and not think much about it because she knows that Ava intentionally said those words to bitter her and nothing more. "Right? I can't relate. besides, I have never been on any business trip with the boss."

"Come on, move it!" One of the muscular men, six packs body built grabs Susan by the arm while struggling to break free, slightly conscious as they tie her up, "What's going on? Let me go!" She says in a lowly voice, trying to get hold of herself but the effects of the chemical contained in the tear gas was much more powerful. They ignore her and continue to drag her towards a van parking outside. She tries screaming for help, but to no effect as no one is around. "Someone, help me!"The other throws her into the back of the van and slams the door shut, "Don't even think about making a sound." He says as he sits inside the van"Please, just tell me what's going on." She sobs having a tight blindfold tied to her face."You'll find out soon enough." Immediately they drive off.She clenches her fists and tries to stay calm, distracting her mind but still isn't working. "Please, just let me go. I won't tell anyone.""Really?" One smirks at her. "So sorry about that but it's too late for t

Susan sits in the dark, her eyes flickering over the two sleeping but armed, muscular gigantic men in front of her. She breaths with fear while seated then waits, silently observing their breaths as they shift in their sleep to snoring. Knowing she has to be fast if she wants to escape, she glances around the room, taking in every detail. The dim light filtering through the cracks in the window blinds is the only illumination in the room. She can hear the soft rustle of leaves outside, a reminder of the forest she is in. She slowly moves her hand towards her middle palm, feeling the cold metal of the sharp object the gang leader had given her earlier. She gulps down a ball of saliva when she realizes that it's definitely going to hurt her if she must be free from the ropes. She takes a deep breath afterwards and slowly reaches out to the first guy, her hand shaking slightly. With a swift movement, she presses the sharp edge of the object against his rope and it goes out, cutting in tw
