The whole country knew they were expecting a baby, everyone knew they were getting married in a week's time!!

   Three months later....

    "My back is killing me." Mia fumbled with the pillows, trying to adjust them to make her more comfortable.

     "It'll be okay." Ryan said while massaging her legs.

      "Try being five months pregnant." She groaned. "No position is comfortable, I hardly sleep, even when I do, I can't turn." Mia kept on complaining.

     "Baby I wish I could take the frustration all away." He said, placing kisses on her toes. "How are the wedding plans kicking up?" Ryan asked her. 

      "Everything is moving smoothly. Everyone loved the invitation card, it was so beautiful." Mia smiled.

    "I want you to have the fairytale wedding you deserve my universe." Ryan grinned.

     "Awww, thank you my love. So, are you working on your vows?" Mia asked him.

    "V-vows? Ye-yeah. Why wouldn't I?" Ryan laughed nervously. Vows? He didn't know what to write down.

     "You haven't started have you?" Mia smiled. "It doesn't matter, take all the time you need. Oh, I forgot! I wanna go over to Andrew's." Mia told him.

      "Why? Is he having a party?" Ryan asked sarcastically.

She smiled... "Why would he throw a party? I just wanna visit him." Mia said to Ryan.

      "Take John along, I don't want you going alone." Ryan told her. "Please come back soon, okay?"

    "Don't worry, I won't stay too long I promise." Mia said him.

  "You don't have to wait for me." Mia said to John, her driver and bodyguard.

       "It's the boss's order Madame." John said to her.

      "Okay." Mia nodded, stepping out of the car. She entered the apartment building, heading straight for Andrew's apartment.

    The door was slightly opened, and it was a bit dark.

     "Hello? Andrew, are you in here?" Mia opened the door wider and it creaked. "Why is it so dark in here?" She found the switch and turned it on. The living room looked normal. "Andrew I'm here!" She sighed, walking into the kitchen but still no sign of Andrew. "Maybe the idiot got so drunk and passed out in his room, he couldn't even locked his door." She was definitely gonna scold him.

      She threw his door open, but there was no sign of Andrew except the sound of running tap.

     "Andrew?" Mia frowned, slowly moving to bathroom. She found drops of blood, trailing into the bathroom. "An-Andrew? What are you up to?" Mia knew something was definitely wrong. She slowly pushed the door to the bathroom open, finding more blood.

    This time, the whole tile on the floor was messy and bloody. Mia panicked, she didn't know what was happening, but as she walked closer to the bathtub, she moved the curtain. And there she saw Andrew, laying dead, naked in the tub all bloody, with his throat slit in a very cruel way.

     Before the scream could leave her throat, a painful sting hit the side of her neck. Mia froze immediately. She had been injected. After the realization, she lost balance, dropping to the floor. She fell unconscious.
...................................................................

     Someone's POV...

  
    I kept sighing, I was getting impatient, waiting but now, I've won. I had Mia! I was happy with what I had done. I was satisfied.
...................................................................

    Ryan kept pacing around the house, it's been almost four hours she left the house and Mia hadn't sent any text yet.

    "I want you to check on Mia, find out what she's doing. She's not picking my calls, tell her it's late already." Ryan said to John over the phone.

     "Yes sir." John answered.

   John climbed up to Andrew's apartment, and he knocked. "Miss Mia?" He kept on knocking for while before he decided to turn the handle of the door.

    The man nearly had a heart attack when he saw Andrew's body lying in the bathtub. He called the police and then called Ryan.

      "Hello sir?" His voice was shaking with fear.

    "Took you long enough, are you already on your way?"

    "Sir... I don't know how to say this, bu-but.. Sir... Sir..."

    "John, I asked a simple question. Well alright, put her on the phone, I want to talk to her."

     "Sir, she's not here."

    "What do you mean? I told you to go get her, didn't I?"

      "I-I-I did. But she wasn't there. When I went up to the apartment, Miss Mia wasn't there. She was gone." John was terrified.

   "Gone! What do you mean gone?! Where the hell is Andrew?! I wanna speak to him this instant."

    "You can't sir."

    "Have you lost your mind or something? John, have you been drinking?"

      "I just came from Mr Andrew's apartment, sir, Mr Andrew... Mr Andrew was... Murdered sir." John's mouth couldn't speak again.
✴✴✴✴✴

     Ryan ran out his car as soon as he parked. There were some cops outside of the building.

    "Hey! You can't go in!" A cop stopped Ryan from going past the barricades.

     "My fiancée, she went in there and she hasn't come out." Ryan said to the cop who was restraining him.

      "Mr Webster!" John called out to him.

     "John!" Ryan ran to meet him. "Wha-what's going on?"

    "It's Miss Mia. We can't find her." John's eyes looked heavy.

      "Don't fucking fuck with me right now. Where's Mia?" Ryan glared at the innocent man.

    Two detectives headed towards them.

     "I'm detective Foster, this is my colleague Miss Clayton." The fat black American man said to them, showing them his badge.

      "You're John, you called the police right?" Mr Foster said to John.

     "Yes, yes I did." John answered.

    "We'd like to take your statement Mr John." Mr Foster said.

     "Before that, I'm Mr Webster. My fiancée came here to visit her friend and now, John says he can't find her again." Ryan reported.

     "Okay Mr Webster, we'll handle everything." Mr Foster said.

    Where was Mia? Where did she go?

     John was asked questions about the last time he had seen Mia or Andrew. Nothing was making any sense at all!!

      "Ryan, I think you should calm down." Natalie said to Ryan who was looking disoriented.

      "Nobody tell me what to do okay?!" Ryan growled angrily.

     "Being so angry won't find her." Natalie said to him.

     "Those stupid detectives are so incompetent! Why won't they find her?!  Ryan snapped. No one dared go near him.

    Alex, Natalie and David all sat in the penthouse, staying with Ryan.

     "If something happens to her, I'll never forgive anyone that hurt her!" He groaned... "This makes no sense at all!!"

     "We're all worried about her. We'll find her, no matter what, we'll find her." David said to him.

    The situation was dire. Mia was kidnapped, by someone who murdered Andrew. Who the hell could do this?!

   "I have to contact the military force, if I don't do anything, Mia's life will be in danger." Ryan said, taking out his phone to call whoever he thought could help him.

       "What's going on?" Natalie sighed.

    "Where do we start looking for her?" Alex closed his eyes. "Why is everything becoming complicated?"

    "We'll find her, I'm sure we will." David nodded. "Do you think Ares has something to do with this?"

   "It's possible." Natalie said to him.
✴✴✴✴✴

    Mia fluttered her eyes open. It was dim, she could hardly see anything. She sat up still feeling drowsy. She tried to move but her hands and legs were in shackles and her mouth was tape sealed. She couldn't scream she couldn't move. She automatically went into panic!

     Ryan had no sleep throughout the night, he kept on calling his contacts, Furiously looking for any leads that could find Mia.

       "Any leads on my fiancée detective?" He asked Foster the next day.

      "I'm afraid not. She just disappeared, and we're doing all we can to find her. Do you have anyone in mind who would have done this?" Foster asked him.

     "No one... Maybe except for Ares DeLuca. He's been harassing her for a while now, once the police was onto him, he fled to Italy! That bastard! If I find out that he abducted Mia, only God can save him from what I'll do." Ryan curled his fists into a ball.

    "Easy Mr Webster. We'll find your fiancée, you just tell me about this Ares DeLuca." Foster rested his elbows on his tables.

      "You better find that sonofabitch." Ryan was irritated.

      Hours and hours, still nothing on Mia. It was like she vanished into thin air.

     "I feel like I'm going crazy." Ryan told Alex as they sat together in the penthouse house. "And I will go crazy if Mia isn't returned to me." He ran his hand through his hair.

     "We'll find her." Alex told him.

    "Whoever did this is going to pay. And if it's that Ares, I'm fucking going to rip his head off his body."

     "It can't be Ares, he had alibis. Even Karen said Ares was at a party in Italy when Mia was kidnapped." Alex told him.

       "He might be working with someone else, here in New York city. I can never trust that bastard." Ryan threw a glass at the wall, letting it shatter.

    "Wake up bitch."

    The angry voice woke Mia up. Mia looked at her kidnapper, but couldnt see the face properly as the person wore a leather hoodie. But Mia could tell it was a woman, judging by the voice

     "How do you love your new room?" Her kidnapper asked, in a sarcastic voice. "Haaaa," the woman heaved happily. "I know what you're thinking. Why are you here? What did you do? Why am I doing this to you? Who am I?" The woman chuckled... "We'll here's my answer, what's dead should stay dead. And to answer who I am, you'll know soon enough." She sighed. "Any other question?"

     Mia closed her eyes, trying to make the nightmare go away but the woman kept giving her less hopes.

    "Awww, are you crying? Is the mighty Mia crying? How touching." The woman laughed heartily. "It's better to save those tears, the time for crying isn't now." The woman glanced at Mia's belly. "You know, I want to know what it'll feel like, ramming a knife into that belly of yours. Then slowly twisting it, seeing you in pain." She scoffed.

   Mia cringed, trying to hide her belly with her hands but she is restrained because of the shackles. The thought of what the crazy woman was saying made Mia terrified.

    "Are you scared? Well you should be, because you're not going back to Ryan do you hear me? You're a piece of shit!" The woman started kicking Mia's legs furiously.

     Mia couldn't scream, she tried but her voice was hooked. She could only cry and sob.

     "I hate you! I hate you!!" The woman screamed hysterically, picking up a chair.

     Mia vehemently shook her head, begging her kidnapper not to hurt her. The woman raised the chair, hitting it on Mia's legs multiples of times, with all the anger she had. The wooden chair broke on Mia's leg, before the woman stopped. Mia cried her eyes out, begging and pleading in muffles. She was defenseless, helpless.

     As soon as the wicked woman left, Mia cried louder, trying to scream. Her legs were hurting so much that it would take God's intervention for her legs to not be broken. Her sobbing was endless, just when she thought the crazy woman had had enough, she came back, standing at the basement step.

      "You can scream all you want, no one's gonna hear you. It's just me and you." The woman said, before leaving Mia.
✴✴✴✴✴

     It's been only a day, a day of insanity!! There was still no word from Mia and the police had no clue what was happening.

     Olivia seemed worried, Ryan wasn't himself. He had stayed absent from work, and didn't bother to call in. Mia's disappearance did take a big hit on him.

     "Mr Webster, do you want me to cancel all appointments this week?" She asked him, standing in front of the chair Ryan sat.

    Ryan looked at her... "Do I look like I wanna have meetings? Do I look like I wanna be suffocated right now?! Get out!" He snapped at her, making her flinch.

    David walked into the living room. "Olivia, now is not the best time. Can you leave us alone for awhile?" He requested. Olivia nodded sadly, quickly leaving.

    "Ryan..." David walked over to him. "Do not push away the people who care about you. We all want the same thing."

     "All you guys do is patronize me! Don't you get it? Mia's helpless, she can't defend herself." Ryan finally broke down into the tears he had been holding. "I can feel she's not okay. I-I don't want to lose her David, she's all I got." Ryan cried out.

     "I promise we'd find her, she'll be safe. Nothing will happen to her." David tried to assure him.

        "I can't breathe without her, she's everything to me. Who would do this to her... To us? Why Mia?" He cried bitterly.

     David had somehow managed to calm Ryan before going to talk to Olivia.

     "How is he?" Olivia asked David.

   "Honestly, not good. He's really devastated over Mia's disappearance." He said sadly.

     "Poor him. I really pity him David. I've never seen him so broken before." She sighed... "Mia's been nothing but a good person to me, I really hope they find her soon. The detective, has he no news yet?" Olivia asked him.

     "Still nothing." David shook his head and that's when someone knocked on the door. "I'll get it." David went over to open the door. "Layla?"

     "Oh David," she hugged him. "I came as soon as I could." Layla said to him. "Where's Ryan now?" She asked.

     "He's in his room." David pointed.

    "How is he holding up? Do you think he'll see me?" Layla asked.

    "He's in a really bad shape, but I guess he'll need all the friends and support." David said. "I'm glad you're here."

   Layla smiled... "There was no way I wouldn't come." She looked at Olivia. "Olivia."

      "Hey." Olivia smiled.

     Layla walked away, going straight to the room.

     "I'm really happy that Ryan has so many people he can count on." David said with a small smile.

    After the long tiring day, Olivia returned home. Her house was moderate and decent.

      "Oh Gina, thank you for babysitting Kenny." Olivia gave a broad smile at the seventeen year old teenager. "Where is she?" She asked Gina.

    "Kenny's asleep in her room. She exhausted herself to sleep." Gina smiled.

       "Oh really? She played alot huh!" Olivia chuckled.

    "Yeah! Uh, I'm attending a party this evening, so I'm gonna get going now." Gina said to her.

     "Sure thing!" Olivia nodded. "I'll see you next week then, thanks again!" Olivia said, watching the teenager walk out the entrance door. Olivia ensured to lock the door before heading upstairs to her daughter's room.

     Kenny's room was quite big, decorated with toys of all kind and painted in pink and white.

      "My baby." Olivia smiled at the face of her sleeping daughter. "I love you." She bent over, giving a warm kiss on Kenny's temple. "Sleep tight."

     Olivia went back downstairs, tossing her jacket to a couch. She flexed her muscles and then picked up a bucket of ice cold water. She unlocked the door to her basement, walking down the stairs with her heels clicking.

      "Wake up bitch." She dumped the whole bucket on a sleeping Mia.

   Mia jolted in shock, weakly opening her eyes.

     "Oh please don't give me that pathetic look." Olivia tossed the bucket to the corner of the basement. "Are you ready for the unveiling?" She asked Mia. 

     Mia didn't know what the mysterious woman wanted from her. Why was this happening to her? Suddenly the lights went on, and there stood Olivia smirking. It... It was impossible! Mia widened her eyes. Was this some sort of joke?

     "I guess you're not happy to see me then?" She scoffed. "Oh wait! Let me fill you in. Well your beloved Ryan is losing his mind trying to find you, how cool is that!" She sniggered. "And that other slut, that Layla, she is trying to play the sympathetic ex girlfriend. How cheap. I know right!" She giggled. "It is fun watching Ryan lose his marbles over some dumb girl who refused to stay... Dead!" Olivia snapped.

     Mia shook her head. Olivia had killed Andrew? Was she really capable of killing? This was really a nightmare!!!

    "I'm gonna remove the tape, so you can talk all you want." Olivia pulled out the tape over Mia's mouth.

     "How could you? You killed Andrew!!" Mia screamed at Olivia.

     "You mean that boring faggot? He was getting on my nerves that's why." Olivia shrugged like it was no big deal.

      "You killed Andrew!!! You murderer, murderer!!!" Mia kept screaming as tears filled her eyes. "Andrew didn't do anything to you and you murdered him!!! How could you!!!" Mia's heart clenched. Olivia had killed her friend!! Andrew was gone.
