Lauren!
Leah is calling him, he wipe his tears. I am over here.
How are you? He nodded to indicate fine. What are you going to do about Mandy? He look at her. Yes, Mandy, is Tessa still there?
No, she managed to escape. He speaks up.
And that lazy Mandy couldn't? She just can't do anything right, she is...
Leah! Lauren call her, he is tired of her whining.
Sorry, I understand, you are under pressure, let me massage you. She wants to lock lips with him but he pushed her slightly.
Leah, I can't.
You can't or you won't?
I don't know, just leave me alone. Lauren voice is dry, she looks at him.
You missed her?
Am I not supposed to missed her? Lauren voice went low, Leah jerk his hand. In less day a week, you are madly into her?
I am not into anyone, I just felt guilty because it's all my fault. He grabbed his phone.
Where are you going?
Anywhere but not here, you all should let me be. He is coming out of the condominium, Edward is right in front of him with Leah beside him, Edward eyes go round Leah but she is not the issue while he is here.
Good day sir! Lauren greet him. Where is my daughter? That was Edward first words, he returns last night hearing Susan and Sharon talking about Mandy kidnapped, he is mad, his daughter is kidnapped and no one care to inform him.
Your... She is... Lauren couldn't take the word.
I give you forty-eight hours to return my daughter back to me, if you don't want my rile.
He turned and left, Lauren gulped his saliva, not like he scared of the man in front of him but he just don't want to act like the monster he is
Why did you let that low life talk to you in such a manner?
Leah stop it, his daughter is missing, were you expecting him to be happy with the whole drama? Leah kept quiet maybe, she is nagging this man too much, Lauren just enter his car with Leah beside him.
Mandy gasped for air as she wake up in a different room from the one she was with Tessa, the place is very dirty and dark with not a single light in it.
All she did remember was she and Tessa was supposed to escape and she spin her ankle, which didn't make her run faster but then did Tessa succeed? Is she fine now? Did they catch her too? Is anyone ever going to come for her
Her mind is still in tumor when she finally gain consciousness, now it's clear that is not her imagination that made the room dark but she is assuredly in a dark room, fear grip her, is this how her life will end? Will she ever go back to her dad?
Her dad is all she had now, Noor is gone, he had cut all ties from her, does her father even know she is in this mess right now, she need to brave herself if she had to survive this.
She try to stand up but notice that the floor is mud not like it's cement, tiles or something but mud, she try to feel the wall after crawling to find the wall, she is afraid of standing, it's assuredly build that means she must be in a cave or a tunnel, maybe she could asked for help, if not help but the kidnappers will hear her.
Who is there? The words echoed back, it done on her that she is in a cave, she closed her eyes not to let fear take the better part of her, even as she try, she just can't, her tears flow uncontrollably.
Mandy calm down, you will get out of here. She call herself but it's not working, she try to climb the wall, she saw cockroach, she jumped down in fear, making her foot hurt.
Ugh! She yelled, try to touch it, she realized that she had hurt herself blood pour from it, she tear the part of her top and tie it, so frustrated with life that she sit on the floor.
She can't die like this, she haven't achieved anything in this miserable life of hers, she haven't tell her dad how much she loves him even though he had failed her this time
Help! Anyone! Help! Can someone hear me? No matter how hard, she screamed, it always echoed, no one could hear her.
She sit and think about all the sad moment in her life, hearing her mother's words, you should always remain under your sister, she is older, so she should always be on top.
Sharon words on her life stream calling her an impostor, that she is taking her life.
She remembers her dad's word, Mandy I love you very much but please make dad happy, she remembers how the man had talk her into this hole called marriage.
Her mind wonder to Noor, all the affection they have for each other than she remembers Lauren, he is the cause of all her misfortune, not like her life was rosy but with Noor around, it's perfect but then Lauren had save her from all those stones while didn't he save her now, he had kissed her like he love her, Noor said, a man who kissed a woman with care is in love with her and she saw that in his eyes.
Mandy, stop thinking about Lauren, stop thinking he love you because he kissed you. She was talking to herself, she cry, those tears were for Lauren betrayal.
I will not die here, I need to go back, I need to asked him if he loves me. She wipe her tears, her struggles to live is for Lauren not another person, what madness had gotten into her? How could she wants to fight for a man, whose heart is with other?
She start climbing again not that she knows where she is going to but she knew she had to survive and go back home, even if Lauren reject her, she must live and pay back her sister for all the pain, she had caused her.
The more she try, the more she seems lost in nowhere, she fall down again, lying in the mud, her fear is that, the mud shouldn't cover her, she doesn't want to be bury alive, she refused to give up.
Lauren couldn't hold it anymore, he run into the mansion of Daniel, the man is assuredly having dinner with his family, Lisa and Larry are eating at the dining as well.
Dad! Lauren called, everyone looks at him, so surprised that he is without his suit but just a t-shirt and not even on his mask
