"Mom... momma wake up," a far-away voice calls, "mom please wake up," when I hear the cries of my daughter I do wake up.
My vision is blurry, but when I raise my dropped head I see three figures standing in front of me.
"Mom," Hazel calls out again and another voice comes about.
"She's not your mommy honey, I am," Loren says in a fake mother-like tone.
I try to get up, but my wrist is tied to the arms of a chair, and my ankles are tied to the legs of the same chair, "no you're not and when my dad sees what you all are doing he's going to do bad things," Hazel says in defense.
You all?
When my vision focus and my ears stop feeling clogged I see who she's talking about, "Loren what the fuck," I look off to my side seeing Hazel in the same condition that I'm in.
Another woman stood beside her and in the middle stood a man that looks too familiar, "don't get snappy," Loren says before looking over at Hazel, "my daughter contacted me and told me how you and your fine ass husband have been treating her," I look over at Hazel as well.
Hazel looks at me saying, "It was a mistake I-" she is interrupted by Loren sh-ing her and saying, "don't worry sweetheart she'll be dead soon, and then I'll make sure Mr. Jones gives us more connections to kill the bitch your stepmother gave birth to."
"Don't you ever call my daughter a bitch again, you better hope and pray you succeed at killing me! If you want Dean try to take him," I say raising my voice.
"She doesn't want Dean, I do," I turn my head looking at the other woman and she continues speaking, "you don't remember me do you," she asks with the most irritating raspy voice while tilting.
There's a silence and she breaks it, "I tongued Dean down in his office," she says excitedly, "I'm Maria!" She shouts her name and I press my lips together.
What the fuck is going on?
"Like I told this psychotic bitch, if you want Dean to go to him! Leave my children and me out of this," I shout.
She looks at me with a shaky smile and when the guy starts speaking I roll my eyes, "Hazel is going to her mother... your real daughter, on the other hand, is done for."
I almost laughed at what he said, "you have to be one dumbass motherfucker to think my daughter isn't protected. Not only by her father but business people all over the world. King Petrov, Chase Blaze, Zane Russo, do I need to keep going?"
Dean is going to find us in no time once he sees we didn't make it home or text him.
It doesn't matter how much we fight or how much dislike we feel for each other in a moment, we always tell each other where we are before dark.
"And do you think I'm going to let you get away with murdering my son," he takes a step closer and now I have to look up to see his olden face.
"Kenzo Jones is my son, ma'am... was my son."
"Daniella Lefebvre is your daughter, ma'am... but unlike you, I won't put you through the pain of knowing your child is dead... I'll kill you first."
Kenzo deserved to die. He hurt me and left me scarred for life. It took me a while to process all the pinning scars he left me after that night, murdering him was an excuse I would use to not open up to Dean about what happened.
'He's dead so it didn't matter he beat and raped me'
I told my internal self that, but when I did tell Dean in detail what happened that night I felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. He's done so much for my mental health and taught me not to hide things when something is bothering me.
If Dean divorced me my heart would be torn. I'm not even sure I'm going to make it out of here to tell my husband I love him and kiss my baby.
I also, didn't get the chance to tell Dean I'm pregnant.
And It shouldn't take my life being near the end to see I'm so lucky to have a husband that works and gives our kids and me whatever we want.
Before I can fathom what to say Loren shouts, "I'm doing all of this for you Hazelnut," I glance over at Hazel balling her eyes out and, tears start falling down my cheek as well.
"Please.. please don't kill my mom," she breaks down with a shaken voice.
"They're not going to kill me, sweetheart, they're killing Parisa, and hopefully they can kill your dad too," Loren pauses and bends down to Hazel's face, "because he doesn't care about cha anymore."
Hazel shakes her head and Loren nods hers saying, "yes Haz, you told me yourself in the text messages."
"Hazel look at me," I say looking at how scared she is and I say, "daddy isn't going to let anything happen to you, okay?"
She smiles weakly before saying, "I love you, mom."
"I love you too, Jellybean."
I haven't called her that in so long and it felt good to be able to. She was embarrassed by it the older she got because I never told her why I called her it.
Kenzo's dad walks beside me and presses a gun on the side of my head. My body tenses and tears stream down my face when I hear the loud cries and begs from my daughter.
I tighten my eyes seeing the one person that could do no wrong in my eyes, and if I did she's the last person I want to think about. Daniella.
Bang.
