As she takes her time moving into a sitting position, she just feels extremely relaxed.“Well now Annie Casey, you are certainly being taken care of in a manner rather pleasing as it was definitely not in the teachings from my mama.” This makes her giggle. Then her expression changes thinking back to her previous way of living. As she was raised in Twin-Rivers, she lived a basic life mostly about being herself. She was by choice a recluse hiding from the person the town wanted to create for Victor within herself.Her memory suddenly somber thinking she thought she could escape her teachings and forget her past.

As the minutes tick away in her mind, her body start to relaxed.“Silly,” she mumbles to herself.About to close her eyes again when she heard a shuffling right outside the door. The sound of someone groaning made her shuffle into a sitting position. She tried her best to listen attentively. After a tense moment she thought she heard someone calling her name. “Hello?” she called but no one answered.It felt like hours passed before she decides to carefully getting out of the bed. Once she managed to slipped her feet into a pair of comfortable slipper boots, she reached for the blanket to wrap around her shoulders.

Chapter 36: Annie’s Admission“Annie, where are you?” Aaron quickly enters the bedroom. Since the attempted kidnapping, she actively chooses to stay in the bedroom. It was only he and cook that enters. It seems like she was paranoid about people around her but he has the sense there was more to this then what she was telling him. The thing that worries him was the fact that she mumbles Victor’s name in her sleep. He doesn’t want to question her as she was near her due date.“Honey,”“I am here,” she calls from the small balcony.“Isn’t it too cold out here?” he questions joining her. He noticed she wrap herself and the baby in warm blankets.“I like it here.” She said softly.Aaron looked towards the snow-covered peaks but decide not to say anything.

Chapter 38: CapturedSix months…Annie stood in front of the window. She views the people moving around down in the street. There was such heaviness in her heart.

She has been trapped in this apartment since the disappearance of Aaron and their children.“Annie,” the firm voice of her mother-in-law startled her.She quickly turns around, crossing her arms over her chest.

Chapter 40: Annie and Victor (Mind Games)Annie carefully closed the bedroom door behind her. She briefly looked back inside. Aaron Casey was still unconscious. She senses a familiarity with the man but doesn’t know why.The moment the phone ring, it felt like she would jump out of her skin. She quickly moved to answer, almost afraid the man would wake in the bedroom or that the caller might realized she wasn’t alone.“Hello,” she said carefully.“Annie, its Victor.” The man said firmly.
