I woke up from a bad dream where Leo drove me to some beach house, then injected me with some liquid while I was listening to a recording from Drex telling me that Leo was the bad guy. My forehead scrunched at the head ache I felt. Like my head was being slammed with a rock.I groaned softly, trying to lift my fingers to rub my forehead, but it wouldn't lift. It felt like something was restricting my hand. Wait… not just my hand. Something was restricting my whole body.My eyes snapped open. That was when I realized… I was tied to a chair.“What the—?” I tried wiggling free, but to no avail. “What the heck?” I breathed out, because someone tell me what the fuck was going on?“I see you're awake.” That voice.That familiar smug voice that always made my jaw lock, sounded. My head tilted to the side where she sat.Cassie.She had on a crop top that expressed the little bump on her stomach, and there was a guy I didn't recognize sitting beside her, smoking what looked like weed.But

His words were followed by silence.I didn't break the gaze, and neither did he. I searched his eyes, trying to find the guy who used to make me laugh. Rachel's best friend and gist partner. Imogen's ‘favorite’ uncle.The man who dressed as a turkey for Halloween because three year old Imogen had begged him to… “What changed?” A small sigh left his lips. “You.”Something about the way he said it made my chest tighten.“How long?” I asked. “How long have you been working with Cassie?” I remembered the time he came to my company after not seeing each other for a while.That was the day I found out about Cassie's pregnancy. Had they been working together even then?He slipped a hand into his pocket, then stepped back. “Not too long.”Another silence fell after the words.He looked like he wasn't sure if to continue.But then he spoke, “I came to your house last week.”My forehead creased. “You did?”“Yes, I wanted to talk to you about Rachel.”About Rachel? Why would he want to discuss

– Drex Drane –When the cops said they had retrieved the CCTV footage of what happened in Rachel's place, I'd felt hopeful.That was the first progress in a while, and maybe we'd be able to find some kind of clue. Maybe Cassie's car plate number or just anything that'll tell us where she could be.I'd hurried over to look at it with the cops, expecting to see Cassie barging into the house with a large stick.But what I saw instead made my blood turn cold.Yes, a car had stopped by the house. But it wasn't Cassie who stepped out… a masked person did.This person was about six foot four, and the strong arms told me it was a male.He didn't even walk into the house. Just stood beside his car, made a phone call then waited.One minute passed before Leo stepped out with my daughter. Every part of me froze as I watched him talk to the guy, who kept glancing at his wrist watch occasionally. After, Leo crouched in front of Imogen, said something to her and she nodded. He patted her hair, bef

“Lisa!” My legs moved before I could think. All I saw was my wife, and the gun pressed to her side.I needed to save her.Heck, I had to.A loud growl left my throat as two arms gripped me tightly. “You need to calm down, sir.”“Let go of me! I order you to leave me right now!”“Let us handle this.” The cop sounded too calm for my sanity.“There's a gun pointed at her. What the hell do you mean by you'll handle it?!”“Yes, that's why you have to stay back.” He answered a little sharply. “One mistake and you may lose your wife.”The thought alone sent cold chills down my body. As though to prove it, the guy with the gun pressed it harder. “No one must come near. This gun is loaded with bullets, and I swear I won't hesitate to shoot if anyone tries any shit.” He sounded serious. A shaky breath left me, and I took a step back.Lisa looked tired. Her face was pale, and the fact her hands and feet were tied seemed to only add to the stress. Her head was down, that I had to wonder if she

– Lisa Red –My head. It hurt a little bit. My body felt weird as well.What happened? I opened my eyes, but my forehead scrunched at the unfamiliar environment that greeted me.Where was I?A small sigh left my lips, as I turned my head to the side.Drex was sitting there, his head leaned against the wall, eyes closed, but he didn't look like he was asleep.Standing by the doorway was a bald man.Wait, was that David?I had to squint my eyes. It ‘was' David.What on earth was David doing… wherever this was?His eyes widened. “You're-You’re awake.”Drex's head jerked forward, eyes snapping open. When he stared at me, clear relief washed over his face. “Oh my God, Lisa.”“Drex.” I breathed out, still trying to understand what was happening.He took my hand in his. “Oh baby,” a shaky breath left him, “you're awake. How do you feel? Are you in pain? I should get the doctor.” He turned to David. “Get the doctor.”“Uh? Y-Yes. I'll go get her.” He rushed out, while I laid on that bed, mo

Drex had stayed with me all day, helping me with my medicines, and getting whatever it was I wanted to eat.He'd even slept the night, which I was grateful for, because the last thing I felt like doing after all that had happened was to spend a night alone in a hospital.The next morning, after we ate breakfast together, he had to leave to check up on Imogen and see how Kelesky was doing.Every part of me wished to follow him, but the doctor still had a few checkups to run on me before they could be sure if I should be bailed or not.Heck, I missed my daughter so much though. I wanted to see her. Touch her and know for myself that she was truly alright.“We just need to monitor your vitals, and if we see that you're alright, you can be discharged by afternoon.” The doctor I now knew as Felicia said that morning.“Thanks, I actually feel a lot better.” Which was true. I didn't know what pills they'd given me, but I could feel my energy returning.She offered me a warm smile, then left

After David left, I just sat there for a long moment, recalling all the traumatizing things I faced when I lived with them.I didn't know how long I spent doing that, but afternoon arrived, and so did Drex with the great news that I'd been discharged.“Really?” I jumped out of bed, straight to his arms.He wrapped them around my waist. “Yeah, I just talked to the doctor.”A huge grin spread up my lips. “Does that mean I can finally see Imogen?”“Yup. She kept asking how you're doing. Our little angel wants you home as much as I do.”My heart melted at the words. “Awwn, I can't wait to see her too.”He pressed a peck on my lips. “Come on love, let's go home.”Drex slipped his hand on mine, and that afternoon, we both left the hospital together.There was a car already waiting for us. He opened the back seat for me, so I got in and he followed, keeping his hand on mine the entire time.All through the ride home, I rested my head on his shoulder, while he rubbed my thigh in a soothing ma
