JUNO's POV

I winced in pain as I tried so hard to untie myself by rubbing the rope on the thinnest surface of the chair that I was sitting. I could feel the raw pain on my wrists because the roped tied tightly but I didn't care. I continued doing so even though the pain was becoming unbearable.

I wanted to give up but I knew that I couldn't just do so without any fight. I don't want to die without exerting an effort to get out of that place. I have all the reason in the world to fight and survive. Brey and mom.

"You can do this, Juno. Just ignore the pain." I kept on telling myself repeatedly. I've been doing that for hours already but to no avail. Tears brimmed my eyes but I kept them in my tear ducts. Crying won't help me.

I continued for a couple more minutes and then after that, I suddenly felt the rope loosen up a little bit. That gave me more motivation to continue. At least I knew that it's still possible for me to escape.

"I am paying you a lot of money so do your job properly! Don't let him out of your sight!" I automatically stopped what I was doing when I heard the angry voice of Ophelia. Then the door opened.

"Where is Brey?" I heard her ask to the person she was talking to on the other line.

"Just tell them to keep on following him. Now that he left the hospital, that just mean that he finally made his choice. Send someone to kill his mother now! Make sure not to leave any evidence!" my eyes widened of what I heard her say.

She ended the call and then faced me.

"Did you hear that? Brey's mother will be dead any minute from now. Then you're next. Poor Brey. He will surely go insane the moment he realizes that he could no longer see his mother and you alive. All his efforts will go down the drain and that's when he will realize that I just played with him. Well, I didn't expect him to be this weak and stupid." she laughed loudly while shaking her head.

I gave her a death glare.

"You're an evil! Brey will surely do something to save mom and I and when that time comes, you're going to pay for everything that you're done!" I spat at her. I thought she would get pissed off of what I've said but no. She just shook her head while laughing.

"I'll let you dream that your knight in shining armor will be able to save you, Juno. Anyway, my men said that your boyfriend left the hospital. Let's see if he choose you over his mother. This will be fun." She laughed again. I was about to retaliate when Nadia came in.

"Mom, I can no longer use my card! It's blocked!" She looked frustrated.

"What?! Did you call your father about it?"

"Yes but he's not answering! I can't believe that he cut off my card! This is so unfair!" Ophelia's face turned hard as her eyes squinted in anger.

"Don't worry. You will get access to your card after all these mess."

"Really? But I want it now, mom! I need to buy something." she whined. I wanted to shake my head when I saw Nadia's expression. They did all these just because of money. They're nothing but a scum of the earth.

I couldn't hold my laugh. They looked at me with their eyebrows furrowed.

"Why are you laughing? Don't tell me you've already gone insane?" It was Nadia with her eyebrow cocked up. I continued laughing while shaking my head in amusement.

"Poor you. Just because of money, you're willing to kill anyone just to continue living the life that wasn't rightfully yours from the beginning. You stole the good life that should've been for Brey and mom. You destroyed their family just because of your greed. You're nothing but opportunists!" Nadia slapped me but I just smirked at her.

"Is that all? Why don't you just kill me now?" I dared her bravely. Nadia gritted her teeth.

"I can't stand this b*tch anymore, mom! Let's just dispose her off!" She squealed like a brat. Ophelia was about to answer when her phone rang. She answered it.

"What?! You can't contact him anymore?! Then where is Brey now?!...Do something to find him! What about his mother?!....Stupid!" to my surprise, Ophelia threw her phone on the floor in anger.

"What happened, mom?"

"Those idiots can no longer contact their comrades who followed Brey."

"What about his mother? Is she dead now?" Nadia asked as if asking her mother about the weather.

"They can't go inside her room because your papa is there." Ophelia answered through gritted teeth.

"What?! He's still there?! So, he's really going to choose that b*tch over us?! I can't believe this!" Nadia answered in disbelief.

"Just let him do what he wants. After what he did to me. I don't care about him anymore. You should do the same." Nadia went still as her expression softened.

"But he's still my father, mom. I can't do that." Ophelia's eyes went sharp.

"He chose them over us. That's enough reason for you to forget that he's your father. After we're through with Brey and his mother, we will dispose him off as well." Ophelia said callously. Nadia's eyes widened.

"Are you hearing yourself now, mom? No! Don't touch papa!" Ophelia's jaw flexed.

"I thought you want everything that's rightfully yours?" Nadia reluctantly nodded her head.

"Then use your brain! You know that this is the only way for us to get what we want. If we won't dispose him off too, he will surely never give you his wealth! We already started this so we must finish it!"

"But I am his daughter, mom! Whether he likes it or not, I have the right to the Amouretti fortune! We don't need to resort into killing him too. I can't do that to him." Nadia insisted and I saw how Ophelia's expression changed. She suddenly became tensed and weird.

"You don't understand." Her voice became low, almost inaudible.

"Yes. I don't understand! All I want is for Brey and his mom to disappear from our lives. I just want everything to go back to the way it was before! I want our family to stay together!" Nadia was almost shouting in frustration. Ophelia sighed and shook her head.

"Go to your room for now and think things through. You should forget about him for good because he already disowned you the moment he sent me the divorce papers. He doesn't care about us anymore because he wants to replace us with that Liza and his son! He no longer cares about us. You should accept that fact." Nadia's jaw flexed but she didn't say anything.

Nadia quietly went out. While watching them argue, I continued what I was doing behind me, careful enough so that they wouldn't notice me.

"You're really a desperate woman. Poor you. You're even using your own daughter to get what you want. Instead of becoming a good example to Nadia, you're teaching her how to be a criminal. You're brainwashing her so that she would help you with your plans. What a mother." I voiced out tauntingly. Her eyes squinted in anger and was about to slap me when her phone rang.

She answered her phone while still glaring at me.

"Yes?" After a couple of seconds, I saw how her eyes blazed with total anger upon hearing what the caller said.

"Useless idiots! Find her this instant or else, I will kill you!" my eyes widened when she suddenly threw her phone on the floor. She then approached me and then grabbed a handful of my hair roughly. I groaned in pain.

"If that Brey thinks that he could outwit me, he's wrong. I still have the upper hand here! Yes, he managed to hide his mother without me noticing it but he forgot that you're still with us! Since he's surely looking for you right now, I'll use this opportunity to start my plans." She let go of me and to my horror, she took out a knife from her bag.

Cold shivers ran down my spine and that was the time that I realized that I should fight. Even though my wrists were aching and still tied up, I had to do whatever I could to free myself from being tied up and survive this. I desperately rubbed the roped in a faster motion this time but carefully trying to be discreet as possible.

"Tsk. Tsk. Even though I want to kill you now, I have an idea. It will be awesome if I will torture you first and kill you in front of Brey and after that, I will end his life too. How's that? What a brilliant plan, right?" Her voice was cold and eerie. She looked like she's gone insane.

She slowly rubbed the knife on my neck, deliberately didn't inflict me any cut. I gasped in fear as I felt the coldness of the knife against my skin but I didn't let her see my fear. I met her gaze bravely.

"You're really a tough one. Let's see how far you're going to maintain that spirit of yours."

She smirked and brought down the knife to my chest area. My eyes widened when she began cutting my top from my neckline down to my chest; my bra got exposed.

"What are you doing?!" I hissed in anger.

"Just like I've told you. I will torture you so that when Brey arrives, he will go insane just by seeing what happened to you. I will make sure to torture you and I will start by breaking you until you go insane." I was about to ask what she was talking about when she called someone.

"Fred! Come in here!" she shouted. Then the door opened and a guy came in. He smirked when he saw my top that was almost torn off.

"Nice." He even whistled as he raked me a lustful stare.

"You know what to do with her." my body went frozen when I heard that. Fear craw up my whole being.

"W-Wait. What is he going to do with me?" Ophelia chuckled.

"Well, just enjoy the ride, Juno." She laughed then faced the guy she called Fred.

"Don't kill her yet. I just want you to break her. I want you to video everything so that we could send it to Brey. He will enjoy watching it for sure." the guy smirked like a maniac. Ophelia brought out a small video camera from her bag and placed it on top of the table focusing on me.

"Gladly." Fred answered.

Then Ophelia went out, forgetting the knife that she put on top of the table near me. My eyes widened when the guy began removing his shirt. His eyes were red and I didn't know if he was drunk or under the influence of drugs.

"What do you think you're doing? W-Why are you undressing?" I asked in panic but my hands moved faster, desperately trying to untie myself before he would start what he was planning to do with me. I knew that I was running out of time. I need to untie the rope before it's too late.

"You're beautiful. I've been looking forward to this since we brought you here." his voice was slightly shaking in so much lust. Upon saying that, he came closer to me and began touching my arm up to my neck in a slow manner. I felt like all the little hair in my body stood up as I felt his callous hand.

"Get away from me, you maniac!" I hissed. He just smirked and then began kissing my neck forcefully. I screamed and that exact moment, the rope around my wrists finally came off!

I pushed him as hard as I could. Because he didn't expect that, he fell on the floor. I quickly grabbed the knife from the table and was about to cut of the rope that tied around my feet when the guy got up. He was about to snatch the knife from me but I stabbed his hand which caused him to scream in pain.

I took the opportunity while he was preoccupied in pain and cut off the rope around my feet. I was about to run away when he managed to grab my foot. I fell on the floor.

"You b*tch! You'll pay for that!" I tried to stab him once again but he caught my hand and disarmed me. He threw the knife somewhere and then restrained me by pinning my hands above my head. His body pinned me down as well. I tried to fight him but he was just too strong for me.

Tears began pooling from my eyes when he began molesting me by kissing my neck.

"No! Don't touch me! Let go off me!" I screamed but he didn't listen.

"Shut up!" he punched me on the stomach and I almost lose consciousness. I felt a jab of unexplainable pain in my belly because of what he did. Caro, help me... I cried silently, wishing for him to come and save me.

Then just like on cue, someone kicked the door open.

"Cara!" I opened my eyes upon hearing that voice. The man on top of me stopped what he was doing and looked at the door.

"Caro, help me..." I felt so weak but I began struggling under him once again by pushing the man off of me. Brey was about to come closer to us when he suddenly looked behind him as if he felt a movement behind him. Then everything happened so fast. We heard a gunshot. My eyes widened when I saw Brey lost his balance because of the impact and fell on the floor.

"Do you really think that you can save her? You shouldn't've come here because I will make sure to kill you! I didn't expect you to find this place but this is more convenient for me. I will just kill you both here!" I heard someone say. Then I saw Ophelia approached Brey while pointing a gun at him.

"No, caro! Get up!" I yelled at him desperately but he didn't move nor respond. I tried to push the man on top of me once again.

"I said get off of me!" I screamed at him but he just laughed.

"Just give up and accept your fate. If he's still alive, he will watch you get molested while slowly dying from his wound. What a way to go." He answered evilly and then torn my top off. The lust in his eyes intensified upon seeing still bra-clad breasts.

I felt hopeless and at the same time, I felt so worried about Brey. He wasn't making any indication that he was still alive. Fear crept throughout my whole system not for me but for him. He was shot and I was praying that he was still alive.

"Brey! No, don't die on me! Please, get up, caro!" I cried. I didn't know what to do anymore. I desperately wanted to help him but I couldn't.

I saw Ophelia walked towards us, leaving Brey at the door way. She was still holding her gun.

"Let go of her." she instructed to the man.

"But I'm not done with her yet." her eyes squinted in anger.

"If you don't want us to die here, then do as I say! Brey has his men with him and they're downstairs. We need to get out of here quick but before that, I will kill this b*tch first! I'm done of playing around." The man obliged against his will.

"What a waste." He muttered. Ophelia pointed her gun at me. My tears continued falling. Just thinking that Brey died because of me was too much. I couldn't take the fact that he's already gone. How would I possibly live life without him? Maybe it's better for me to die as well. Caro...

I put my hand in my stomach as the pain intensified. I closed my eyes, silently praying that a miracle would happen.

Then a gunshot echoed inside the room. Then after that, I heard a commotion as another gunshots blared in the air.

What do you think? Did Ophelia succeed on killing Brey?

What about Juno? Could it be that Ophelia shot her too?

Will Juno and Brey have their happy ending or this story end up in a tragedy?
