EMILIO'S POV We had taken her to my boat house at the outskirts of the city where we had her all tied up. I could see the fear in her eyes as she watched me move around her from the corner of her eyes and sincerely speaking, I was amused. If she knew she would have been so afraid after being caught, what was the morale behind her aiding my wife to run away from me? I clicked my tongue at the bodyguard standing there to pass me over the chair and he brought it over to me as I unbuttoned the suit jacket and spread it out as I sat. Cannot have myself walking around with rumpled clothing now, can I? "Emilio, please let me go." She said as tears slid down her cheeks. "Let you go, that easily? Zara you stole from me and you must either return what you stole or I will make you pay for it the hard way." I said to her, "But I didn't steal....oh, Samantha." She said, realizing it. "Now, all you have to do is tell me where my wife is and we would forget we ever met up in this old annoying place.

CAB DRIVER'S POV (Josiah) I could not believe what had happened to the lady. Clearly, she was in distress and needed help. I mean, I had just witnessed a kidnapping where my passenger had been forcefully removed from the car but then I could do nothing or say nothing. The man that had taken her away seemed to me like a very dangerous man that would not hesitate to hurt me just to put me in my place. He was dangerous and I needed no one to tell me that he would actually make use of his threat. The moment they had left, I drove away and turned into the other lane heading backwards as I found myself a spot to park in. I could not even think straight as my entire body rocked from so much fear. I sat down there and then I noticed a cop standing outside in front of the burger shop I was parked near. He had probably got his lunch there and I felt the urge and temptation to get down and tell him what had happened. I reached for the car lock and would have opened it to do the right thing. "Jos

TOM'S POV "Surprised to see me?" I demanded angrily but laughing like it had something to do with being funny. "I must say yes, Tom. You got me. Now, where's the cab man?" He demanded angrily. "Somewhere safe. Now you don't get to ask the bloody questions here. Where's my fucking wife?" I demanded. I know, everyone must have been wondering how I got here. Actually, I could not sleep the previous night after speaking to Emilio. I had been rest assured that he would find Zara but then I just could not help myself. At some time around three am, I decided to call my wife's number again just in case whoever took her would pick up and demand ransom. I was willing to pay for her freedom no matter the cost and if it was way beyond my payroll, I probably would burrow. Emilio had been a friend to me in the past which meant that he would consider helping me out. So there I had been, seated on my couch as I pressed onto the dial option. It rang for a while with no answer that caused my hopes to f

EMILIO'S POV"Thanks, Tom." I said to him the moment he hung up the call.I had taken him to go see Zara who was still unconscious and I could have sworn that I had never felt more ashamed. Perhaps, I was just noticing it now that I had become a terrible person but then, seeing what extent I had taken things made me disappointed with myself. How on earth could I think to harm Zara? I could not believe I had been blinded by my desires and gone totally extreme.I could not even think to look Tom straight in the eyes because I feared that he would give me that contemptuous glare.There I stood, with my back against the wall and arms folded across my chest as I watched him check on her. I was really ashamed and knew that I would be more ashamed when the good doctor comes back and discovers that all I had been feeding him were lies. The attending nurse said he was at the surgery at the moment, which was how I counted myself lucky.Then his phone started ringing and he pulled it out. He hes

MARIAH'S POV It had been a while since I took off in that train. The cab driver that had driven me had asked me if I really wanted to leave and I insisted. He decided to aid me and I went in straight and bought a ticket. I had just picked a random line and when I returned to the seat and took a look at the ticket which I had just bought, it was headed for Pennsylvania. Well, since fate wanted me to go that way, who was I to say no. It took a day and half for us to arrive as we would occasionally stop by the other stations. I was already beginning to feel a little impatient and cramped up but I promised myself that I was going to survive regardless of anything. Eventually, we arrived in Pennsylvania. It took me two days to get a place I could afford. I had to sleep outside in the cold during the night with the lots of homeless persons out there. They had been quite fair to me and I did my best around them. Eventually, on the second day of my stay, I would say it was a miracle of the so
