"You all shouldn't stress her out so much. Her blood pressure is too low." Mr. Whiton said looking at all three of them as he removed the sphygmomanometer from her hand.

It was like everyone had their hearts in their mouth. They then understood their mistake, that they shouldn't have yelled at Evelyn. She was obviously new to all this... to them! And it will take her a lot of time to get adjusted to all of this.

"When will she wake up?" Riccardo asked Dr. Whiton.

"Few minutes... I'll wait until she wakes to get on with further checkup. She said she had an accident..." he said trailing off. They waited for another 20-30 minutes for her to wake up as Riccardo showed the report to the doctor.

"She didn't say anything about pregnancy or possible miscarriage" Mr. Whiton pointed out with doubt.

"I don't know..." He said holding his head while the doctor nodded.

"That may be why she has low blood pressure. Nothing to worry though... she'll be alright young man." He smiled.

Everyone turned around as they heard Evelyn groan out holding her head.

Evelyn's POV

I felt like I had a severe headache. I almost felt like screaming when I opened my eyes and the light hit me hard. I looked around to find the same people still surrounding me. 'I thought it was a nightmare.' I tried to wake up but then lied down as I felt the familiar light tug of pain at my belly.... my baby... Nick... my baby.

"My baby..." I whispered.

"You were pregnant?" The lady asked me with an awed expression.

"My baby... where is my husband?" I panicked.

"Take a deep breath... long breath. In and out..." the doctor in the white coat said and I repeated his actions. "Alright now?" He asked and I gave a slight nod.

"My husband?" I asked and Mr. Riccardo groaned out loud. 'Not again' I heard him mutter under his breath.

Ok... I get it now... I'm abducted. But my baby. I need to go to the hospital. Why did I, like a fool plan to leave the hospital in the first place?! Why?! Nick.... will he be worried about me? Would he know that I'm abducted? Or does he think I ran away? My baby.... I lost my baby. I shouldn't have sat in that car. I shouldn't have gone to that hotel. I should've waited for him to come home. I wouldn't have lost my baby then. Nick is not to blame here. I am to blame. I should've thought about the baby. Now I'm abducted by them...... good thing... because I don't even want to live anymore. Nick must be hating me now... or maybe... he's glad that I lost the baby.

"Do you feel any pain?" The doctor's voice brought me out of my thoughts.

"My lower belly..." I whispered as I heaved a sad sigh.

He turned around to look at the man who introduced himself to be as Riccardo. "We'll need different equipment to see if she's alright." He said.

The man only nodded. "Get everything you need. Make sure she's alright." He said in the stiff voice that he has. The doctor got up and left the room.
Isn't he my abductor? Isn't he supposed to hurt me? And the couple standing to my left.... they seemed almost scared of me, while I'm the one who should be scared of them.
"I can feel the wheels in your brain turning." He said with a smile.

"You are my kidnapper, aren't you?" I asked and he raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you supposed to hurt me? Why is there a doctor looking after me?" I asked and he simply smiled again. Now I remember. He said Nick killed his woman? Nick? He could have... it's possible. But I won't believe unless and until I hear it from Nick. There's still hope that it's not him. That it might be a misunderstanding between them. Is that why I'm being abducted? Nick killed his girlfriend or wife and he kills me now?

"Don't think too much. The doctor said that too much stress caused you to faint. We don't want that again. Right? Now sleep." He said as though he's talking to a baby.

"Who are you?" I asked eyeing both the old man and the women next to him. Most probably his wife.

"Uhm.... aaah... she's my wife, Serena. And I'm Raymond." He said. His wife looked at him with hurt. I'm not that bad at face reading. Did the man lie? Why is the woman so sad?

I raised both my eyebrows at him. I obviously know they are husband-wife. But how are they related to me?

"They are your parents." Riccardo replied and I almost broke my neck with how fast I turned my head towards him.

It seemed strange to her. Suddenly after twenty-three years of her birth she was being introduced to someone as her parents. She didn't know if she was supposed to cry or laugh. But she did giggle looking at them while they looked at her strangely with eyebrows raised.

"You're joking right? Or.... wait! Are you trying to manipulate me?!" She questioned glaring at them.

"This is the truth!" Mr. Riccardo replied. "I'm your brother." He whispered softly coming to sit beside her on the bed.

"You're my brother?" Now I was confused. "But.... but... why have you all...... why are you all telling me this now?" I didn't know if I was to believe them or not.

"You want to know?" He asked. I really didn't want to know anything right now. I shook my head as 'no'. All I want to know is all about my baby. I want to get back to my husband.
No matter what kind of a cheater he is, I want him next to me right now. I want to know what he's feeling right now.

"I want my husband." I said swallowing all the tears that were on edge.

"That's-" he was interrupted by his mother, I believe.

"Riccardo!" Serena screamed at him, glaring him into silence.

It was then the doctor arrived bringing other men behind him to set the machines. I looked at them confused and the doctor gave me a reassuring smile. It took them 15 minutes to connect everything.

"You got them so quickly." I smiled at the doctor. Now getting adjusted to him.

"It was in the infirmary that is right downstairs" he smiled but then he frowned, "I don't know if this is going to work. It's been too long since I last set this thing." He pursed his lips together.

Riccardo looked fine, but Mr. Raymond looked angry as he burned holes into the machines while Serena held onto his chest asking him to 'calm down'.

'What's the matter now?" I thought as everyone looked at me at the same time.
"What?" I asked much rudely.

"Nothing's the matter." Riccardo laughed. They heard me? "He's just angry, that the bastard got his little girl pregnant."

"Riccardo! Language!" Serena hissed.

"Do not! Call my husband a bastard again." I glared at him to which he rolled his eyes, angering me even more. I threw the antique piece at him that was right next to me on the nightstand. He rubbed his arm, where it hit. Still smiling at me! "Stop smiling!" I shouted.

"Riccardo! Stop riling her up!" Raymond said this time.

"You know...... you should be happy. In case, I mean, if you are actually my father. Then the baby will be your grandchild." I said and he smiled looking at me.

"All ready. Could you all leave for few minutes..." the doctor looked around. But none of them were ready to move.

"Please." I insisted as I was still not very comfortable with them. I wanted my husband with me right now. But then... unfortunately. That's not possible. But for now, they all slowly left the room one by one.

"Can I?" He asked pointing at my shirt. I was still in my hospital clothes, loose pants and shirt in light blue. I nodded as I pulled my shirt up. He had his gloves on and then applied some gel on my belly. It was almost like I didn't care. I already know I lost the baby. A part of me died along.

He tapped a kind of tube-like thing on my belly as he pointed at a screen. I looked to my side as he started moving it around my belly. "Your reports that we got from the hospital... you do know the results, don't you?" He asked carefully. I nodded sadly as he continued, "They suspected a miscarriage, yes. But it looks like everything is fine." He smiled I saw the room door open loudly with Serena and Raymond peeking. in. I didn't really care because I quickly moved my eyes onto the screen. "Here." He pointed on the screen to a white, mushy like thing... almost not seen if not observed. "You have your other baby there."

Nicholas's POV

This bastard cannot just seem to open his mouth. "Sir, not a word." Mark shook his head with annoyance at the bloody bastard.

When Evelyn left the hospital, she was in her hospital patients' outfit. There's no way that a guard could let a patient walk away like that. I already knew that guard has something to do with it! Especially when I saw the video and when nobody tried to stop her. And when I was leaving the hospital this bloody fucker seemed so nervous, he immediately stood looking at my face. That was definitely suspicious.

"Shall we start with the fingers?" Oliver asked behind him.

"No... start with the nails first." I gritted. Oliver looked behind him to signal the men to start with the job.

His scream filled my ears bringing some peace to me. But I won't be relieved until I find my wife. And it really took me this long to realise she's my wife. She's the only one who I'll ever consider my wife. Only one who I could ever fall in love with.

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you." He screamed after a nail was snatched away from him. His fingers still bleeding.

"Now... that is all we wanted." I smirked. "Who took my wife? Answer quickly. I don't have time for non-sense." I said impatiently.

"Two men... two men..." they came to me and asked entry to your wife's room. There were too many people around her room all the time." He breathed hardly and stopped talking. When his nail was tugged tightly, he continued "I swear, I only said yes for the money, but I never helped them. I was to take them to her room but then she walked out herself. That's all I know." He cried out in pain.

"Mark... get the video clip. See who he talked to." I said turning to Mark behind me. "You do recognise them, right?" I sounded deadly.

"Yea... yes." He breathed loudly.

***

The video clip showed him talking to two men. One was bald and the other had a long beard. They even offered him few dollar bills which he gladly accepted. The time at which this was recorded was in the evening... that is right after Evelyn was admitted to the hospital. Does that mean he was following her all the time? How could I not know?!
They came in a car to the hospital... whose number plate was clearly seen on the clip. This could lead us to her. This is all I have.

'I'm coming for you Eve.' I said to myself determined that I damn sure am going to find her. There's still hope. I'm not going to lose you.

Evelyn's POV

I'm still pregnant? I need to tell Nick. He needs to know this. I slowly crept to the side of the bed and reached down to the phone. But Riccardo who had entered the room already held my hand to stop me.

"Who are you calling?" He asked.

"My husband, obviously." I gritted out.

"Didn't I tell you; you'll not be contacting him. Ever!" He hissed looking into my eyes.

"Who said I'm going to follow your orders." There's no way I'm going down without a fight.
He let go of my hand, but he quickly pulled the wire and the handle separately before throwing away to the corner of the room on the other side.
"You're the worst brother! I'm thankful I never had to tolerate you all these years! And I wish I'm not your sister. I definitely cannot handle a brother like you." I spewed with hatred. His icy brown eyes pierced into mine, but I held my stand.

"You are his little sister, no matter what you think." Serena purses her lips with dissatisfaction as she looked at me. Like I give a fvck! Oh god! I find my mom-dad better than these people. They seem to be very annoying- controlling every aspect of my life.

"I don't care! When do you plan to return me?! Or am I to stay here forever?" I asked carelessly.

"Forever." Raymond said gruffly.

What is wrong with these people?! How will I ever get out of here. Especially with a baby. I do hope my baby will be able see his/her father's face.
