FIFTY NINE
Marjorie was throwing Henry a party even though he'd given her strict instructions not to do anything of that sort. According to her, it would be a surprise and he wouldn't be able to be mad at her for not listening. So she dragged Alexis along to shop for the things they needed. As they went from one shop to the next, Marj chatted nonstop. She was excited about surprising Henry and how he would react. Alexis wondered if she thought about how angry he might be if it turned out that he didn't really want a party. Or maybe he'd just get drunk and forget everything. Either way, it was a bad idea considering the amount of people Marj invited. The idiot had twitted that she was throwing her boyfriend a party and that her followers were all invited. Half a million plus followers.
"Marj that is a lot of alcohol. Who's going to drink all that?"

Alexis had gone Christmas shopping. It was two weeks away but she'd told him she wanted to buy gifts for everyone before the Christmas rush begun. He could have told her the rush always started at the beginning of the month but he didn't want to dampen her moods so he let her go. He also needed to buy a few things for the orphanage. Ray had begged to go with her but she'd said no, claiming she was buying a present for him too and she didn't want him to see it. They parted ways in the morning, kissing goodbye before each got in their car and drove off in different directions. It was safe to say he had separation anxiety because he had a mind to turn his car around and follow her.He'd helped her find an office building and they'd spent at least two weeks together getting everything ready. Everyone had tried to pitch in, even nosy Nick but she'd shooed them away claiming that she was okay.

"Careful. We don't want to touch a hair on her. The boss will kill us""Says the guy who hit her on the head.""That was necessary. I didn't want her to see our faces.""You didn't have to hit her. Chloroform could have worked perfectly. Besides.....""Will you two shut up." Byron snapped. Those two were always arguing about everything. Even the damn weather. "Put her in the trunk" the last thing they needed was for someone to see them. Even though they had on masks there were security cameras in the parking lot. The more they lingered there the more their chances of getting caught was. "You two are done. Here is your payment. Keep your mouth shut and you might get to spend all of that money"

"Listen Byron. I'll tell you this for the last time. We are not going to ask for ransom""But why not? She's loaded. I bet her parents will pay millions to get her back.

I don't want her money""Good for you. But I want the money so let me know when you're done with her so I can make the ransom call"Alexis lay still listening to the argument.

Ray was trying really hard to stay calm for the sake of Hayley but every second that passed without knowing where Alexis was, was pushing him closer and closer to his breaking point. Why hadn't he called her last night? He should have known something wasn't right. If it wasn't for Hayley, none of them would have realized she was missing. It was almost ten in the morning and all the police had found was her car and a CCTV footage of three guys in a mask knocking Alexis out and taking her. The time stamp of the footage showed that the text he'd received hadn't been from her. They had taken her an hour earlier. God whoever they were, they better hope he didn't get to them first because he would kill them.The thought of what they might be doing to her made him see red. If they hurt her.... No. He couldn't think like that. Those thoughts were going to drive him insane. Instead he thought abou

Connor watched the car zigzag on the narrow pathway she'd taken that would have eventually led her out of their vicinity. He knew that the moment she hit the road, they wouldn't have been able to catch her. He hadn't meant to shoot at her either but she had left him with no choice. He couldn't let her escape without exacting his revenge on her and getting her parents to send him money. He needed the cash to escape, leave the country before they put him behind bars again. This was all her doing. Trying to act like she knew better than him.She made him look stupid. Heck he felt stupid for not searching for her in the house first. But when he'd seen the open window only one thing had registered in his brain. That she'd escaped. Surely anyone would have come to that conclusion. He told Byron to go the opposite direction so they could surround her but a few feet into the trees, the roar of an

She was going under. Something or someone was pulling her. She could hear people shouting frantically, their voices scared but she couldn't make out what they were saying. Whatever it was that was pulling her yanked her back when she tried to go closer to the voices. Dammit she was dizzy. If they didn't stop throwing her around she was going to....Whoa! All of a sudden she was in a brightly lit room. No it wasn't a room because she could feel the wind on her face. But it wasn't really outside since all she could see was the color white. Where was....."Alexis" she spun around and came face to face with..."Jim? You're here" she yelled running towards his outstretched arms. Launching herself into him she felt at peace just hearing him laugh. Oh how she'd missed that laugh "Are you really here?"

Three days ago "Ray you have to calm down," his father said even though Ray was basically a statue. Bent over with his elbows resting on his knees, he hadn't said a word. But then again maybe that was the problem. The fact that he hadn't said or done anything ever since they arrived at the hospital was cause for concern. Everyone thought he was angry that because he was silent. After all, that's what he did. How could he say anything now though? What did they want him to say? He'd watched the EMTs try to revive her. He'd sat there just watching because there was nothing he could do.Never in his life had he felt so powerless, so useless. The love of his life was dying right in front of him and there was nothing he could do. He felt crippled. Even when they'd gotten her heartbeat back, he
