Not As It Seems (Alaskan Bush People Story: Sequel to Love)

Final Performance

Lacy POV

"Andrew?" How could this be? Everything that has happened had been him all along? "Surprised to see me?" "Were you behind all of this?" "Yes, because you ruined my life and I had to ruin yours." "How did I ruin your life?" He started yelling at me "I had waited my entire life to direct on a production. I had started from the ground up and you show up and get it in one interview. I had done everything to get what I wanted. I thought you were sleeping with the owner to get what you want." "I didn't do anything like that to get the job. I had found it in the newspaper." "The first night that I had met you, I wanted to wrap my hands around your neck and kill you." "Why didn't you?" "Your husband was there." "What about the time you had grabbed me from behind? Why didn't you kill me then?" "That wasn't me, that was Ethan but it had happened at the right time." "What about when my car blew up? What about with Gabe's blood at the crime scene?" "I was working with Detective Bell. I had settle something for him and this was what he had to do to repay me."

"Then taking our children?" "That was an idea I had a long time ago. I was just going to take yours but all the kids were together and I didn't know which ones were yours." "Why did you take me last night?" "You were alone on the beach and I saw an opportunity. I see another one right now." He walks closer to me and unties my ankles and then ties them to a bed post at the end of the bed. He tied my wrist to the headboard and then he unzipped my jeans. I look up at the ceiling. I didn't want to see and feel him. I could feel him pulling them down by my ankles, I could feel him getting on top of me and he smelled my skin. Then he was inside of me. I knew I couldn't get pregnant because I had found out I was pregnant before we had left for the road trip. I hadn't told Noah yet. I hadn't told a single soul. To take my mind off the pain, I think about Noah and the rest of the family in bush. When we were all happy.

Noah POV

We had made it back to Seattle and we went back to the motel. I hadn't had another note since we had left the lighthouse. All we could do is wait. We all go back our rooms to get some sleep. Everyone had their children back. In our room, Grace and Gabe were giving the twins a bath. I hear them laugh as I laid in bed thinking about Lacy. The phone rang as I answered it "Hello" "Noah?" "Lacy, is that you?" "Yea, I'm calling to tell you something." "Where are you darling and I will come get you." "I can't tell you that right now. Andrew is laying here with me. He was the one that was calling all of the shots. He wanted me tell you that we will meet tonight on top of the Space Needle. He will have all three of us there." "Okay, I will be there." "I love you.... Hello Noah, its Andrew." "If you have hurt my children or wife in anyway, I will kill you myself." "Your children are fine but I'm just enjoying some time with your wife. She is very beautiful in the lingerie I had given her. I see why you married her." "If you touch her in anyway. I will find you and I will kill you." "It's already too late, she is very good in bed. I think she enjoyed it. She was whimpering at my every touch, she moaned when I touch her in the right places. Does she do that for you?" My anger was rising. "Be at the Space Needle at ten tonight. In the meantime, I will enjoy me a fine piece of ass." He doesn't hang up the phone because he wanted me to hear them. "No, please not again." I hear a slap. I can hear her crying and then I hear skin against skin. He was raping my wife. She did whimper but not the way she does for me. I hear fear behind her voice. Then she is crying loudly and screaming for him to stop. I hang up the phone because I couldn't listen to it anymore.

I turn to see Gabe standing there. "He was hurting Lacy in his hotel room. It was Andrew." "The guy that was helping with the play?" "Yes"

Amelia POV

I had gotten Isabella to sleep when I turned to Matt. He smiled at me. I laughed when I noticed how untamed his hair was. I gesture for him and I to go outside. It was starting to get colder. He wrapped both of us in blanket. "There is something I need to tell you." "What do you need to tell me, my love?" "When I was in the hospital, when they had taken my blood, they had noticed something." "Was something wrong?" "No, nothing like that. It was a good thing." "Well, then what was it?" "I'm pregnant." "What?" "Remember our anniversary? We didn't use protection either time." He started crying. He hugged me and kissed my head. "I'm so happy. Thank you for giving me another child." "I was far enough along they could tell me the sex of the baby." "How far along are you know?" "Seventeen weeks." "Well, was it a boy or girl?" "We are having a son." "A son?" "Yes!" He kissed me hard. Then he got down on his knees and kissed my belly. "I love you baby boy. You are so love by your entire family." He stood back up and kissed me again. We looked out on the street wishing we were back in the bush. "When do you want to tell everyone?" "Let's wait until Lacy and the kids are found safe then we will tell them."

Noah POV

I got up and left without telling anyone. I didn't want to worry any of them. I had to make it to the space needle and he said he would give me all three of them. I had taken a bus that has taken me to the needle and I try to think of a strategy to safe my family.

Lacy POV

He had made me get dressed after he had finished with me. I was thrown into the back of a van. Then the door opened again and they put the kids in there with me. "Stefan, are you okay honey?" Valerie was handed to me. She was crying as I rocked her to calm her down. Stefan was laying in my lap. He had his face buried in my stomach. I put her in one arm and brought him closer to me, to let them know they were safe. We stopped as the door was opened by Andrew. "Get out." We crawl out of the car and are forced into an elevator when we walked inside. We rode up the elevator and waited for Noah. We were on the observation deck of the needle. We saw the light above the elevator come on as we knew it was Noah. The light would change every time he reached a new floor. It finally made it to the observation deck as he saw all three of us. He walked as fast as he could. He opened the glass door happy to see us when a shot came between us. He stopped in his tracks as we looked our right. Andrew had his pistol out. "We have a lot to talk about. Why don't we get started?" Noah and I locked eyes as he spoke. We could see the fear in each other's eyes. Stefan was holding onto my legs and I had Valerie in my arms. I wanted him gone and away from my family. I hope Noah had brought his own pistol. He moved his jacket back and I see the silver shine from the reflection of the lights from the buildings.
