Valerie was terrified when she saw the look in his eyes. She crawled backwards, tears filling her eyes. “What did you Just say?” He asked through gritted teeth. She looked up, “I - I'm pregnant,” she stuttered. “How?! When?” He was too stunned to speak. With newfound courage she got on her feet. “You kidnapped me from my fiancé! I was already pregnant for him, that's how!” He lunged forward, hands wrapping around her neck tightly. “How long have you known this?” Short gasps escaped her throat as she struggled to breathe despite the constriction. “I knew while I was attending my friend's wedding,” she lied, trying to save Melissa. She knew that if she told him that it was Melissa that helped her get a pregnancy test kit, the poor woman would land in a lot of trouble. Antonio shoved her aside, making her topple and land smack on her thighs. He paced around, unsure of what to do or say. “You- ugh!” He let out in frustration, tossing his belt aside. Even as bad as he was, he knew t
Ethan moved closer to the voice, he finally saw Valerie. He was stunned by how beautiful she looked. Some memories of the time they spent together came rushing.“Valerie my love,” he mouthed in his semi conscious state. While Dr. Michaela smiled, happy that the first session of the therapy was yielding results, Kayla who was standing behind her stepped back, her eyes watering. Jealousy gripped her when she heard him utter those words because she couldn't deny the attraction she was feeling for him even though they'd just know each other for a few days. Eventually the hypnotic wore out and then he cracked his eyes open. The doctor wore a wide grin and she gave him a soft applause. “Usually many patients don't get any memories back in their first session, some don't even get any back till they are in the fourth or fifth session. You showed quite great progress, and I'm sure you're on the way to speedy recovery,” Michaela said. He rubbed his head and got up. After she gave them some
Skyler was seated on her bed with a downcast expression sprawled across her face. Samantha was by the corner ironing her shirt when she paused, looking over her shoulders at her roommate. She had to return to school in the evening yesterday because she had classes today and Elizabeth did not want her to miss the class.“What's got you feeling depressed like that?” She asked. “Oh, is it boy issues?”She raised her head, about to say something to counter what Samantha had just said, but in actuality, it was technically boy issues. Skylar's silence reinforced Samantha's proposition. “Omg,” she let out, setting the pressing iron aside. “It is boy issues!” She exclaimed. “It's not exactly boy issues like that, he's just my friend and-” “Wait wait wait - are we talking about Raul? Because he's the only guy I see you hang out with constantly.”She nodded reluctantly, “Yes, it's him. He found out something I've been hiding from him and he's angry with me, he's not replying to any of my te
“And you're sure this will work?” Jax asked as he pushed his luggage cart through the airport. Earlier on, Natasha had arranged them with fake documents that he could use to travel straight to Chelmen. “Yes because we're not here as dreadland soldiers, we're just here as ordinary people. This was how Ethan and I were able to rescue my wife and kids.”Lucy smirked. “She was the one, the one you saved during the raid right?” She stated. Keith’s lips tightened. “Yes, she was.”“I'm happy for you,” she responded, the cool sea breeze crashing against their faces while they walked out of the bustling airport. Jax took off his glasses and scanned the cityscape before him, “so this is the vacation island everyone keeps talking about,” he said.Keith urged him to put back his glasses on for disguise purposes. A black car pulled up in front of them and a middle aged man walked out. “Natasha called and she said you people need a car, return it tomorrow by 6:00 no scratches please.” He had a
Ethan was staring directly at Cyrus, even though he couldn't remember who this man was, the feeling of rage and anger that overwhelmed him was enough for him to know that Cyrus was his enemy. “What do you want from me?” He asked through gritted teeth. Kayla, who was still struggling with the goon rough handling her, spoke. “Where are my parents?!” She cried. With a hand motion, Trevor walked away to an inner room, returning shortly after with some extra hinge man and Kayla's parents who were already tied up and gagged. “Mum! Dad!” She screamed, attempting to rush forward to hug them but she was blocked. “You will reunite with your parents in due time.” Both she and her parents had started crying already. “Trevor, tie him up, make sure he doesn't escape,” Cyrus instructed. They began to shove Ethan forward .“I'm so sorry Ethan, I had to save my family,” Kayla whispered under her voice as they bound him with ropes. Ethan didn't really put up much of a struggle, however he asked
The car was parked outside of Antonio's main property. Keith spied on the house with his binoculars, this had to be where Valerie was being kept. A man as influential as he was could easily bend the government of a small country like Chelmen to do his bidding. This was one of the reasons why he resided here. “What are we waiting for? Let's bust in and rescue her,” Jax proposed. “We can't just waltz in there, we need a plan, we don't even know how many men are there-”“About 30,” Keith said, interjecting her sentence. “Huh?” “There are about thirty henchmen in there, most are armed. I counted them,” he clarified, putting down the binoculars. Jax shifted on his seat to face them. “So what we're going to do is, one of us has to create a distraction outside, something that will make them mobilize and try to come out, and then the remaining two attack by surprise and we break in to find Valerie and get her out of there.”Lucy was barely paying attention as the two men conversed, inst
The news had broken out by now that the legion commander was dead. The video of him getting shot as well as the video of the warehouse exploding was all over the internet and everybody was saying that Ethan Vanguard was dead.It was practically on every news channel and media outlet. This spelt bad news for Armorial, if a rebel soldier group could kill the legion commander, were they even safe?Everyone began to have their own opinions on the matter. Clifford turned off his TV and got on his feet. “Why am I just surrounded with bad luck? He was supposed to marry Valerie, how am I going to run my campaign if the legion commander who was supposed to back me and be my son-in-law is dead!” He complained. His secretary watched him with a dumbfounded look on her face, by now she had realized that she was working for a complete narcissist, however she was only just realizing how bad it was. Today was his manifesto and he needed to appear in the public. He took a glance at his watch and th
Skylar was shocked to the bone, her stomach twisted into a tight knot, legs growing weak. Just as she was about to take a step back and run away, Raul raised his head, pushing Claire off him. “Skyler!” he called out, shoving Claire aside. But Skyler didn't want to hear it, she wasn't interested in whatever explanation he had to offer.She spun around on her heels, tear filling her eyes as she dashed away from the library. He followed after her while Claire , who was still standing in the background, smirked. Earlier on she had cornered him, forcing him into an uncomfortable situation. She was trying to get her revenge on Skyler for having Amy being arrested and charged to court. Initially, her plan was to cause a scene and hurt Skyler, but when she arrived at the library and saw Raul by the corner, she had a change of plans. She knew that It was only a matter of time before Skyler would come here to read with him, so she waited until she had seen Skyler before getting up and moving
