I woke up, finding myself in an unknown environment. I can't tell where I am, I haven't been here before. Every where looks so strange to me, more like an abandoned warehouse, I guess. I try to move, but I can't, I'm stuck against a chair. I looked down at my waist, I'm tied with a leather belt on my waist and legs.Where am I? I glared around the room, it's empty and messy. Where is my driver? I can't even hear his voice, is he dead?Soon, I could hear footsteps approaching the room I was in. The door knob was bent, and whoever was outside opened the door. Theo walked in, with an evil smirk on his face. I was surprised to see him. Not that I was surprised that he could do such a thing to me, but the fact that he knew I was leaving for the...Oh no! I just missed the audition. I glared at my wrist watch, I've got only twenty minutes to eight. I wish I had listened to Leo, I wish I had let him follow me to the audition, none of this would have happened. I'm certain Leo would have fough

Leonard stormed into the room, his face was stained with anger. On seeing him, Samantha knew she was in trouble. Before he returned, her heart had been beating against her chest in regrets. She has been wondering what the state of the driver would be since it was taking Leonard hours to show up."It's gonna be alright." Celina tries to console her but it wasn't working, it wasn't changing her state at the moment."What am I gonna say to him when he returns alone?" She slapped her forehead. "I feel dead already. I don't wanna watch him get angry with me, I don't think I can withstand it.""No matter how loud he yells at you, I know Leonard more than any one, he will calm down. And as long as it is you, trust me, he won't hate you for any reason." She assured her.Now, she is staring at his face, hoping every thing Celina has told her is the truth. From the look of his face, it told her that he was angry at her for two reasons. First, for deciding to leave alone. Second... she is yet to

46~ BetrayalThe two ladies were worried when Leonard returned pretending to be alright. Celina tried finding out what the problem was but he refused to talk to her, Samantha decided to give it a try but he still remained mute to them.They both concluded that they could give him space to think and get over whatever the problem might be. Even while they slept that night, Leonard remained awake, the thought won't let him be. Maybe that's because he wasn't ready to let it off his mind.Samantha turned to see him still awake, his eyes facing up to the ceiling. "Leo, why are you still awake?" She asked."I don't feel sleepy." He said, not sparing her a glance."Some thing is bothering you, isn't it?" He turned his gaze to her. "And it's concerning what the witch said, right?""No." He lied. "It's some thing else.""Don't lie to me, Leo, I know she told you some thing and you can stop thinking about it. Tell me, what did she say?" She inquired to know."She said so much about Theo, and my

CELINA'S POVI still can't believe Samantha, she's been mean about what happened between my mate and I. I hated to share my ugly experience to people, I hated it when people felt pity for me. Some times, I believe every thing is done for a purpose. Maybe... just maybe, Mason was never meant for me.I never told Leonard about this too. Each time he asked me of Mason I would give him stories, telling him he was fine and he did ask of him too. I was surprised Leonard believed every thing without noticing I was lying to him. You know, Leonard was the sensitive kind of person who can tell when one is lying without reading the mind.Or maybe, that's because he was less attentive towards me. I understand why he keeps acting like that towards me, we never grew up together since I turned eight. I was four years younger than he is, and he hardly noticed I existed. I have to endure all these, it's not his fault, and it's not mine either. I out the blame on mom.She knew how much we meant to each

SAMANTHA'S POVI sat up from my bed and my body hurts like hell. The sun was okay but I was feeling an internal heat both inside and outside. I'm not so sure but I guess it's due to my pregnancy or what?"What happened?" I asked no one in particular. I looked around me, I couldn't find Leonard on the bed. How long have I been asleep by the way? I asked myself, touching my head from the pain I felt."You just woke up from sleep dumb head." I heard a voice whisper in my ear.I turned my back to see who it was but.. no one was with me in my room. And that goddamn voice has nothing to do with Celina."Who the heck are you?" I asked the voice.And it will be fine by me if it never talks again. "Fine, it's just my imagination.""Who said so?" It said and I turned around to see if it was really my imagination. That voice just sounded like some one had just said it directly to my ear."Who are you, show yourself!" I yelled at the voice, daring it to come out."Oh, Sam, when will you learn how
