Alexa woke up and groaned as she felt an ache in her back. She sighed looking around the unfamiliar place, her eyes still quite blurry."Hmm." She moaned as her back kept aching her. It made her breathing uneven."She's awake at last," Steve told Lion.Something settled on Alexa, causing her to stumble on realization. She was supposed to be heading home, but then she remembered...she looked around, her eyes becoming clear. She tried to talk, but something was stopping her. She tried to move, but something was equally stopping her. She felt her hands tied at the back.Her eyes widened, and she looked around at the unfamiliar people. She couldn't voice out anything.Lion and Steve stood up. "Boss she's awake." Lion said on the call.Owen didn't know what to do, although he knows Alexa doesn't know him, so he was safe, but the question is what Mr. Hodge will do about it. He can be as scary as his father.Alexa could tell what was happening. She was kidnapped, but in her condition, trying

Sasha walked into the warehouse where Alexa was kept. She was looking tired, and weak. She turned towards Steve. "Has she been fed?"Steve shook his head. "No. She's refusing it."Sasha looked at Alexa who just stared at her. "Get me food for her, I'll try making her eat."Steve nodded and left.Sasha sighed wondering why her dad just kept her here. He could have found a different place with a room and a bed for her to lie on.That's another idea she's gonna have to give to him.Sasha walked and removed the cloth from her mouth. "I'm really sorry for the unkind treatment."Alexa gulped looking around her. "You're Leonard's sister, aren't you?"Sasha smiled and nodded. "One, and I'm hoping only."Alexa nodded and looked away. "I can't eat in this place, especially with the way I'm tied up like a criminal, or someone hard to fight against. As you can see, I'm harmless."Sasha nodded. "I know, but my dad can be really indifferent. I'll see what I can do about it, but for now, you have to

17th October. Sunday."Hello.""Leonard. Have you seen the breaking news?" Emily asked.Leonard nodded with a sigh. "Yeah. I'm watching it right now.""Why didn't we expect this? Of course, William could also be collateral damage."Leonard blinked. He expected it. He had a gut that his father could end up killing William, cause it was bound to happen. William got himself involved, so he should have been prepared for what could happen to him.There was no other way to hinder his father's plan. No other way to frustrate his dad."Leo. Are you there?"Leo immediately nodded. "Yeah. I'm here. I've decided to end things.""Seriously?" Emily asked in disbelief."I've obtained evidence enough to sentence my dad to life imprisonment. I don't want anyone dying again." Leo said truthfully."So how, no let me rephrase. When?""Alexa. The police are gonna be the ones to save my wife from my father. I'll choose a perfect day for that to happen, so stay alert."Emily nodded. "Yeah, but do we have w

Owen's phone began ringing. He looked around and saw everyone busy with their own thing. He sighed wondering why Leo is calling. He warned him.He saw a hidden spot, and decided to go there, and answer the call knowing it was important since anything concerning Mr. Hodge is important.He got to the spot and answered the call. "I told you not to call.""You should find a way to get out of there, Owen. The police are on their way."Owen's eyes widened. "What? How's that possible? I didn't tell you.""Well, I'm surprised about that seeing as I'm sure you knew my wife is in my dad's hands. Thankfully, all my hope wasn't on you, so if you know what's best for you, start leaving so as not to be caught in that situation."Owen nodded. "Are you sure it'll work though? What if he escapes?""He shouldn't, Owen.""But your wife. She's not in a good condition, and I'm pretty sure your dad will drag her around.""I'll be on my way there," Leo informed.Owen nodded. "Instead of escaping, I'm gonna

As Alexa and Leo both lie down quietly, Alexa couldn't help, but wonder what exactly her husband is thinking about. He was in deep thought. Like his mind traveled him to a faraway land.She rested on her side, her hand on him with her head in the crook of his neck. "You're now acting like me. Thinking too much.""Your stomach is poking me, and I'm not comfortable with this position," Leo said truthfully, causing her to frown. He turned her back to her old position and rested on his side looking at her pouted face while caressing her side. "I know you've been annoyed by me..."Alexa looked at him. "You shouldn't mind me honestly. I'm just being childish."Leo nodded. "I'm glad you know."Alexa sighed. "I'm pretty sure you know thanksgiving is coming up soon. We're not gonna be staying home all through right?""We are. It's cold, and dangerous outside."Alexa's eyes drooped. "But Leo...""We are gonna be celebrating it since it's Thanksgiving anyways. All your friends will be here. Eve
