The group checked into a nice hotel located fifty meters away from the Santa Barbara Police Station. They selected a cozy suite for a family of four.
"I want to take a long bath," Briana told her companions. "And eat a delicious meal afterwards, then take a long rest," she added.
"Okay, enjoy your bath, daughter. Your mom and I will go to the nearest grocery store to buy some essentials. We leave your brother Jack with you so that you have someone to watch over you," George said, looking at Jack. "Son, please watch over your sister while we are outside."
Jack nodded his head. "Don't worry, Dad, I'll watch over sister Briana. I won't leave the room even once while you're away," he reassured him.
One hour after they finished eating their meals, Briana told her companions that she was ready for a long sleep. She tucked herself on the bed, put Jack's earphones in to listen to mellow music, and finally drifted into a deep slumber fifteen minutes later.The other occupants of the suite moved around slowly, careful not to wake her up. Each of them would take turns going around the room and the balcony just to breathe some fresh air and watch over Briana as she slept.It was already 10:00 in the evening when the whole family finally decided to join Briana in dreamland.The following day.Briana awoke early in the morning, at 5:00 a.m., before her family members. She noticed that they left the light on for her. Her
That afternoon.Briana's entourage arrived at the Santa Barbara Police Station for the official statement.The press conference was held outside the police station so that everyone could attend. The statement will be covered all over the country because it kept everyone on the edge of their seats from the first day of the kidnapping until a hero stepped in to negotiate with the kidnapper and convince him to let go of his victim and turn himself in to the police.Unlike most kidnapping incidents that usually end in tragedy, Briana's case ended on a good note. She was freed, and the suspect surrendered willingly.Ironically, Stacy's case was overshadowed by Briana's kidnapping case, and she wasn't talked about much in
The following day, Briana woke up to a bright new day inside her room in Jack's house.She glanced at the window and enjoyed the lovely weather outside as the feeling of peace and secureness washed over her. She's safe at last!She doesn't want to remember her kidnapping incident, she wants to get over her trauma as soon as possible. But since she insisted on pressing charges against her abductor, she will be reminded of the horror of her kidnapping every day.She has no choice but to go to court and testify against Xander. It's the only way she can get her revenge on that guy!She won't have peace of mind unless he serves jail time as punishment for kidnapping her!
One week later.Briana and George left the house early in the morning, heading to the Office of the City Prosecutor to file a complaint against Xander.The mother and son were left in the house.Rosita had been dying to be alone with her son so that she could ask him some questions about his intentions in hiring his stepsister to work for his company. It is making her uneasy!As soon as Briana and George were out of the gate, Rosita quickly went upstairs to her son's room.Rosita went inside without knocking because the door was open. She found her son typing on his laptop.Jack stopped typing on the keybo
Five days later.Briana met her best friend Reva in the café shop. They have been having conversations in messenger for a while, but it is only now that they are able to see each other after the kidnapping incident."OMG! How are you for real, Bri? Do you have scars or wounds on your body? Did that bastard hurt you?" Reva asked, inspecting her friend's skin, looking for any signs of physical abuse."I'm perfectly fine. Although that psycho guy is deranged, he didn't hurt me physically, but he mind-fucked me," Briana confessed.Reva's eyes widened. "W-what do you mean? Can you elaborate, please?""That sick guy was planning to have sex with me using a lib
Finally, midnight comes...Jack slowly exited his room, careful not to make any sounds that might awaken the folks sleeping in their bedroom on the ground floor of his house. He went to Briana's room, delighted that the door was already open, only needing a little push. He swiftly entered the room, closed the door behind him, and locked it slowly, making sure it was not making any sound at all.He looked at the bed, and the smiling Briana was already waiting for him with arms wide open.He planted a kiss on her forehead the moment he reached her side. "I miss you so much, babe!" he whispered, sensually sucking her earlobes.Briana giggled. "I miss you too!""Le
One month later.The resolution was finally released by the Office of the Prosecutor, and Xander was given a five-year prison sentence.To celebrate the occasion, Briana and her family dined at a five-star hotel and visited a theme park to commemorate the event because justice has been served and the kidnapper was finally sent to jail, much to Briana's great relief.Briana was looking forward to working for Jack's company.But before that, she was currently inside her favorite cafe shop to say goodbye to her best friend Reva."OMG! You are really leaving me for real this time. I'm feeling so sad right now," Reva said, teary-eyed and feeling emotional.
Two days later.After breakfast, the family was busy packing for their trip to Brisham City, which will take place that afternoon. The older couple would stay for a few days there with Jack and Briana before returning to the city.The older couple finished packing their things first because they only needed a few clothes, so they prepared food for lunch in the kitchen while the younger people were still in their rooms, packing.It was already 11:30 in the morning when Briana finished putting all her things in the travel bags and went downstairs to help the folks prepare food in the kitchen.When she arrived there, the dishes were already cooked and ready to be served. She helped her stepmother set the table and put
