Hidden [COMPLETED]

Chapter 43

"You ready?" Richie asks once Becky opens the door.

"Yes." Becky responds letting Richie and Nam inside, "We didn't wanna wake Lyra. She's still asleep."

"And where's Freen?" Nam asks.

Becky sighs heavily leaning back against the door, "In the living room."

"What's wrong?"

Becky crosses her arms over her chest as they walk towards the living room,"She hasn't said a word to me since Heng called."

An understanding dawn on their faces as they genuinely feel sorry for both of them. Neither of them were at fault. They didn't deserve to be apart just after getting together again.

"Freen?" Nam calls putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Freen looks up with tears in her eyes, she was so lost in thought that she didn't register them coming in,"You're here?" Shock and obvious pain in her voice.

"There's no time. Becky has to go." Richie says, "Are you okay?"

"NO!!" Freen stood up, an almost growl in her voice, "I'm not OKAY! I only just got her back." Tears threatened to fall from her eyes.

Becky closes her eyes and sighs, taking a deep breath, she didn't dare say anything.

"Freen, please try to understand." He pleaded, his gaze softening.

"I can't." Freen frantically shakes her head, "She's not going anywhere without me."

"That's not possible Freen. You're pregnant, you can't take a risk like that."

Freen clenches her jaw, as she glares at him, "Do you think I will be fine sitting here not knowing where she is or what she is doing? Do you think I will be safe then? That I won't worry about her?" She argues.

"Becky, please tell her." Richie says turning to Becky.

Becky turns her gaze away from him to Freen, her eyes softening immediately as she gives her a tender smile, an understanding nod, "I think she's right."

"What?"

She walks towards Freen and stand beside her, "Neither one of us will be fine being away from each other, especially now. So isn't it better that we all leave together?" Freen immediately intertwine their hands with a grateful smile on her face.

"All of us?" Nam questions.

Becky nods, she drops a kiss to Freen's temple, tenderly drawing her into her arms until Freen's cheek presses against her shoulders.

Freen breathes contentdly before pulling back with a smile, "I'll wake Lyra up."

"Are you sure about this?" Richie asks once Freen is out of sight.

Becky shuts her eyes tight, letting out a deep sigh, "All I know is that I'll be fine as long as I'm sure Freen and the baby are alright. I don't want to stress her out leading into something worse."

"She's right." Nam agrees.

"Where are we going?" Becky asks finally making eye contact.

"To Pattaya. As long as Heng is the chief,  he will keep the cops off your back there." Richie responds.

"So it's a homecoming?" Becky chuckles dryly.

*********************************

Another slap echoed through the walls, though he seriously doubted if anyone else would have heard.

"I did what you asked me to do." Billy yells, as he spits out the blood, "I told them Saint commited suicide. Isn't that what you wanted?"

Sunny looks down at him with a frown, "Not anymore."

He yanks Billy's chin up roughly,  "You and your best friend Saint ruined everything I have built. You started this. Now his mistress, someone I treated like my own daughter is trying to bring me down. I won't stop until I get what I want." He spits the last part through his teeth before putting back on his vile smile.

"And you, you will pay for everything just like Saint did."  His voice was calm, but it held something sinister behind.

Billy bit back the pain, "What are you going to do?"

Sunny didn’t move for a moment, but then he smiled and started laughing, shaking his head like a mad man, "She thinks she is running away to safety, but she's not. I know when the walls are closing in, she will come back here, to her safe haven, but I will be waiting. I have her right where I wanted her."
