Eduardo’s POV Rubbing my palms together, I rang the doorbell to Nancy's apartment and waited for her to respond.A moment later, she opened the door. On seeing me, her eyes widened in surprise. “Hey, I've been calling Jocelyn for the past twenty four hours. Is she alright? Henry has been crying, thinking you left him to go to Disneyland. He just finished crying himself to sleep an hour ago. What happened?”Exhaling a huge sigh, I said. “It's a long story. May I come in?”“Yes please,” Nancy replied, moving away from the door to let me in. “Do pardon my manners, I'm just so worried about my best friend that I forgot to be polite.”“It's fine,” I said, standing at the center of the living room awkwardly.Two days had passed since Jocelyn went missing, and within that period, I had gotten roughly three hours of sleep because I mostly spent every second of the day doing one thing or the other to find her.I had even gotten in contact with my private investigator, Ramon Sanders, and so fa

Eduardo’s POV “Good morning, Mr Lopez,” My private investigator, Julien, greeted from the other end of the phone as I plopped onto a couch in my office.“Morning, Julian. Have you found anything yet?” I asked.“Sadly, no, sir. But rest assured that we are still looking into it and we should get something very soon.” He replied, which made me sigh heavily, the weariness in my heart multiplying.“Alright, thanks for your work.” I said before ending the call.Placing my head in both hands, I exhaled heavily as I tried to imagine how Jocelyn was faring wherever she was at the moment.A week had passed since her abduction, and even though I had gotten the police and even the CIA involved, they still couldn't find anything, which unnerved me to no ends.I could barely eat or sleep because I spent everysecond worrying about Jocelyn's whereabouts and safety.During the little period I wasn't worrying about her, I was deeply immersed in work.Just then, my phone vibrated with a text message

Jocelyn’s POV I shook my head in self-pity as I gazed at the red swollen bruises on my arm, resulting from the heavy chains Nancy's guards had bound me with.“Are you ready to eat something now?” Nancy asked, darting me a disdainful stare. “You have already become a bag of bones and I need you to stay alive for as long as possible. If you insist on starving yourself, I will have no option but to ask the guards to force feed you and I doubt you'd want that.”Without waiting for my response, she left the room, leaving me with the guards.Just then, Damien walked in. “Hi, Jocelyn. What have you been up to?”“Let me see,” I said, acting like I was deep in thought. “I've been living my best life trapped in this basement for as long as I can remember. You?”Chuckling, Damien said. “That's good to hear. I'm living my best life too. Within a matter of hours, everything will be over and you will be at peace.”My heart scudded as a mix of trepidation, anger and confusion simmered within me.Wh

Jocelyn’s POV “How are you doing today, Miss Roswell?” My doctor, Doctor Radcliff, asked as she wrote something on her notepad.“Pretty good,” I said, looking at Eduardo who darted me a smile and squeezed my hand gently. “In fact, I don't feel weak or dehydrated at all. Will I be discharged today?”“That's great to hear,” Doctor Radcliff said. “And yes, you are going home today. According to the test results, your electrolyte levels are now stable, so there's no cause for alarm anymore.”“Thank goodness.”“Will we be going to Disneyland soon?” Henry asked, coming to my side, causing the three of us to laugh heartily.“Yes, baby,” I said, ruffling his hair. “But before then, you need to meet someone special.”It was almost noon and the police were yet to bring Olivia to me, which worried me greatly. Various unhinged scenarios about everything going wrong had been playing in my head ever since I woke up today.I really should have insisted on seeing her yesterday.“Who?” Henry asked,

Eduardo’s POV “Hello, Mr Lopez,” The female receptionist at Roshome greeted as I strode in.“Hi, there. Is she in?” I asked, to which she nodded.“Yes, sir.”“Alright, thank you.”Today was Jocelyn's first day back at work, so I had decided to drop by to surprise her with something small; a gift hamper.On reaching the door to Jocelyn's office, I knocked thrice and waited for a response.“Come in,” Her sweet voice came from within, causing me to smile fondly as I walked in.“Hi, ba-” I started to say but paused when I saw Jocelyn having a meeting with Amelia. “Hi, Miss Molloy.”“Good day, Mr Lopez,” Amelia said, standing up. “I will bring the revised documents to you later today, ma'am.”Afterward, she left.“What have you got there?” Jocelyn asked, motioning to the hamper as I walked up to her seat and kissed her.“Dildos and butt plugs.” I said, without batting an eyelid, causing her to choke on nothing.Gently rubbing her back, I chuckled. “Take it easy, baby.”“You are such a tea
