chapter 37
A/N : Hi guys! Sorry for the late update. This update was meant to be published yesterday but i made a stupid mistake. I thought yesterday was thursday. Lol. Anyway, i hope you like it.
ENRIQUE's POV
I looked at my wristwatch and it's already almost 1 am. Even though I haven't had even a blink of sleep, at last, I managed to make progress and develop a plan to find Jake. Just a little bit more and we would get him for sure.
I just came out of the police station and I needed to go home as soon as possible because I would meet the person who could help me with my plan on retrieving Blake from that guy. I wanted to go to her house but it's too risky.
I don't want to give Jake an idea that I would ask her cooperation to get him. Until now, I haven't informed her yet of what happened to Blake.
Upon parking my car near my place, I checked the time on my wristwatch again and it's still early for our meeting time so I decided to go to my suite and get something to eat and drink.
Upon reaching my penthouse, I carefully opened the door because I knew my parents stayed for the night.
All my moves were very careful that I didn't even switch the light so they wouldn't notice that I went home if they're still awake. I don't want to talk to them yet.
I was about to go to the kitchen and quickly get the things I wanted when I noticed someone standing at the terrace. She was silent and just typing on her phone, her back was on me. I was about to approach her when I saw her lifted up her phone to her ear and spoke.
"What happened? I thought I clearly told you what to do? I was expecting for you to do things smoothly and not dumbly. I never told you to connive with that guy! I regret that I trusted you and let you do things on your own!"
My eyebrows furrowed upon hearing what she's talking about. Instead of letting her know that I was behind her, I stayed silent and continued listening to her talk to that person more.
"I don't care if you didn't help him into kidnapping her! The thing is we're surely going to get condemned too if they discovered that you are connected with that guy!" My eyes widened in shock. I covered my mouth with my hand in order to prevent myself from gasping out loud.
My fists tightened furiously. My insides were trembling because of so much anger.
"Do something to get her out of there! Make sure that he won't hurt the baby in her stomach! I want her out of my way but not like this! I'm not a criminal!" I couldn't hear what she's talking about anymore. I strode my way towards her angrily and took her phone away from her.
"Where is Blake?! Where is my wife?!" I asked to the person on the other line with a thunderous voice. I was beyond mad.
"E-Enrique?"
"F*ck you, Brianna! Where is Blake? Tell me right now or I'm going to ruin you and your entire family!" I warned her. I couldn't believe what's happening. I couldn't believe that they would do this to us.
"E-Enrique, I-----" Before she could complete her sentence, the call ended. I redialed the number but it was out of coverage area already. Because of so much anger, I threw the phone on the floor with all my might. My mom screamed in horror.
"What did I ever do to you to treat me this way?!" I shouted at her. She's now crying.
"Q-Quen" She tried to touch me but I swatted her hand away. I couldn't look at her anymore as a mother. She looked like a monster in front of me now.
"Don't ever touch me! I hate you!" I spat at her. She just shook her head.
"No, Quen. Listen to me first---"
"Where is Blake?! Where did Brianna and Jake take her?"
"I don't kno---"
"Tell me!" I shouted at her that made her almost jump in fear.
"Believe me, Quen. I don't know either. I admit, Brianna and I planned to do something to separate you and Blake but we never planned to kidnap her. I told Brianna to do anything for you to leave Blake but I never thought that she would connive with that Jake. According to Brianna, she didn't know that Jake would kidnap Blake too. They had another plan but Jake didn't stick to it and moved on his own" I shook my head while staring at her with disbelief. They really planned on ruining us?
"What kind of mother are you?! If something bad happened to my wife, I will never forgive you" I spat at her. I turned my back and was about to walk towards the door when I saw my father standing in front of me.
"Did I hear it right, Christina? You planned on ruining our son's relationship with Blake?" He asked in a dangerously calm voice.
"J-Julio, I admit, I told Brianna to do it but I never told her to conspire with Jake. I never wanted to hurt her to this extent"
"But that didn't change the fact that you almost ruined them! I thought you mean it when you told me that you wanted to come here and fixed things between you and Quen that's why I even accompanied you here. But I guess, I was wrong again in trusting you. You never changed! I regret the day that I forgive you" My mom's sobs became louder as she looked at my father and I alternately.
I turned my back on them and walked towards the door and got out with a bang. I couldn't control the tears that fell from my eyes. What did I do wrong for me to get hurt this way? Of all people, my mother was the last person I would think of hurting me to this extent.
I gritted my teeth kicked the wall of the alley in anger.
"Arrgh!" I leaned my back on the wall and then slowly slumped down on the floor like all my strength left me. I cried silently like a child.
Maybe because of the worry and fear for my wife that added to what my mother did that I felt like my chest was so heavy that I couldn't even stand up. I needed to cry to ease the pain I was feeling.
I didn't know how long I was crying there until my phone rang. It's her.
I stood up. I don't have time to mope and cry. My wife needs me and I'll make sure to get her from that b*stard as soon as possible.

BLAKE's POV
My body went still when I saw the door opened. I gritted my teeth in anger when I saw Jake entered with a smile.
"I'm glad you finally woke up. I got you your dinner" He said and put the tray on the small table.
"Why, Jake?" I asked with trembling voice as I controlled my sobs. My throat was already aching because of trying my hardest to stop my tears.
"Blake, can you eat first before we talk? I don't want to starve you and our baby" I looked at him with disbelief.
"What are you talking about, Jake? This is Enrique and I's baby!" I shouted at him in anger. I saw his eyes squinted in anger before he smirked. I shivered coldly because of the way he stares at me.
"Don't worry, Blake. You will soon accept me as the father of your child. You will forget Enrique and be with me instead" I shook my head vigorously.
"No! You can't do this to me, Jake! Please, let me go. I thought we're friends? Why are you doing this to me?" I couldn't control my tears anymore. They fell.
"That's what I thought too but I couldn't do it. I couldn't give you away just like that without doing something to have you. I waited long enough for you to love me too. Since the first time I saw you, I already told myself that you're going to be mine. Do you know why nobody courted you in college? Because I threatened them. I couldn't bear seeing you with another man. You're mine!"
"You don't know what you're talking about, Jake. Please, just let me go" I pleaded again. He approached me and stared at me lustfully. He took the chair and placed it near the bed. He sat on it and then took the plate which is full of food.
"Eat for now, Blake, so that you have strength for tomorrow"
"W-what do you mean?" He smirked.
"Tomorrow, we'll going to travel far far away from here" He laughed evilly upon saying that. I wanted to shout and hit him but I couldn't do it.
I tried to calm down. He's right. I need to eat; not just for me but for my baby too so that when Enrique comes and rescue me, I would have enough strength.
When I became silent and ate the food he gave me, he smiled happily. After he fed me, he stood up.
"Be a good girl, Blake. I'll be coming back" He was about to turn his back when I spoke.
"Jake, can you please get me out of this handcuff? My wrists are hurting already. Please?" I begged him. He stayed quiet for a couple of seconds as he stared at my purplish wrists. To my surprise, he took out a small key from inside his pocket and unlocked the handcuff.
"It's useless for you to be handcuffed, so I'll just took it off. You won't be able to get away even if you manage to get out of this house anyway" he said before he turned his back on me and left. I waited for at least half an hour to make sure that he's not coming back before I stood up and tried to open the door.
To my surprise, it opened. My heart was beating rapidly like it was about to get out of my chest. I discreetly opened the door wide enough for me to go out. The lights are on so I could clearly see that nobody was in my way.
I looked around me and realized that we're in a big house that looked like nobody was living in it for a long time. I continuously walked slowly while trying my best to sense if somebody was coming. I saw a stairwell and I decided to go down. I felt like my heart was in my throat as I descended the stairs.
I was almost at the main door when I heard a woman's voice. She's talking in an almost whisper like tone but I could still hear her. She's at the doorway that leads to the kitchen, if I'm not mistaken. She has her back on me that's why she couldn't see me listening to her.
I hid behind pillar as I tried listening to her.
"I'm sorry. I admit that I made the mistake of approaching this guy. He's crazy and obsessed......I never told him to kidnap her! It's not on our plan!.....I don't know if I could do that anymore. He's out of control" who's she talking with?
She paused for a couple of seconds.
"Enrique, I---" I heard her but she couldn't finish her sentence as she gasped in fear.
"I'm was right of keeping an eye on you, b*tch!" The loud and angry voice of Jake echoed throughout the entire house.
"I-It's not what you think, Jake" The woman tried to explain but Jake stepped closer to her and took her phone from her. I could see that he's furious at her. I thought he was just going to leave her but I was wrong. He suddenly slapped her.
I gasped in shock but I quickly covered my mouth with my hand to prevent for them to hear my gasp. I couldn't believe of what I'm seeing. I thought Jake was a gentle person that he couldn't hurt even the smallest animal.
"Why did you do that, bastard?!" Brianna shouted angrily.
"Because you're nothing but a traitor. You were spilling the beans to that b*tch! I thought I could use you but you're so stupid that you couldn't even get Enrique to sleep with you!"
"Isn't it useless to do that anymore? You already got Blake" She reasoned out.
"Yes, I already got her here with me but she still loves that guy. I want her to forget about him and loathe him so that she won't have a choice but to choose me"
"I don't think I can help you with your plans anymore. I don't want to go to jail" Brianna spat at him and turned her back on him. I thought he let her go for good but he followed her and knocked her unconscious by punching her in the stomach.
My eyes widened as I watched him tied Brianna's hands and feet before he dragged her to the stairs and tied her with the balustrade. My body was literally shaking of fear. I couldn't believe that he's this cruel that he even hurt his ally.
When he made sure that Brianna wouldn't get the chance to get out, he went upstairs.
I quickly got out of my hiding place and helped Brianna. I tried my best to untie her but because Jake made sure that he tied her well, I had the hard time untying her. She's still unconscious.
When I was almost done untying Brianna, I heard Jake screamed my name. He already discovered that I am missing!
I had no choice but to run for my life. I quickly opened the main door and ran. I realized that we're inside the forest but I didn't care. I just kept on running.
But when I reached the end of the trees, I realized that I reached the shore. Oh my god! We're in an island!
I quickly looked for a boat but there wasn't any that I could use to get out of there. But my body went still.
"Argh!" I groaned in pain when I felt an unbearable pain in my stomach. I couldn't handle it that I didn't have a choice but to stay on my spot and wait for the pain to go away.
Even though i tried to move, my feet wouldn't listen to me.
"So, you're planning to leave me" I looked at the one who spoke and saw Jake smirking at me.
"Sorry, Blake, but no matter what you do, you can't get away from me" He said like the devil itself. He was slowly coming closer to me while looking at me with an unexplainable expression on his face. He looked like he lost his sanity.
The pain in my stomach was increasing that I couldn't help it, I sat down while groaning in pain. My vision is started to get blurry but I saw Jake began taking his clothes off.
"I've thought of wooing you so that you would see how much I love you but now, I changed my mind" He said and threw his shirt on the sand.
"N-No, Jake. Please, d-don't do this to me" I begged in terror. I tried to move my body but the pain in my stomach took my strength. Tears started to fall from my eyes as he pushed me on the sand and pinned me with his weight.
"No! G-Get off me!" I managed to shout as I tried to push him away from me but he just took my hands and pinned them above my head. I felt so helpless while in pain and crying. Enrique....
