(4 months later)
Maya's POV:"Miss Redd, former Senator Jillian is coming up to see you now." The secretary said. I nodded, not bothering to look up. Leona shifted from her place on the floor. I used the leash to pull her closer.
The doors opened again and the secretary walked in again followed by the Senator, who was dressed in a dark blue business suit. She smiled nervously and sat down in the chair. I narrowed my eyes at my laptop then giggled at her.
"30 million. That's your donation? Desperate huh." I said with a snort. Her face turned red and she hastily looked away, focusing on Leona.
"Uh, pets are included correct?" She asked, leaning forward. I pulled her back and grabbed her neck, squeezing just a little.
"Yes. After the 6 month wait time of course. Should be enough time to find you a job. They aren't cheap." I said. I let my hand linger for a couple more seconds before letting go. She coughed, gulping in air like a madman.
"So, am I invited? I can go? I know I need the invitation thing from you and-"
"Yes." I cut her off, not wanting to hear the praises. "Welcome to the island".
She clapped happily like a toddler and stood up, shaking my hand. I gave her a plain smile and called for the secretary to take her out.
It's been at least 4 months, with no sign of Summer. Father couldn't find any trace and Selena had failed to find anything either.
Father was basically forcing me to stay in the USA. Allowing people invites to the island, recruiting new guards and island defenses. Boring shit in my opinion. The workload kept me busy.
In the States I managed to get my own Penthouse, complete with an office. It wasn't so bad. Just awfully boring.
Standing up, I packed up my laptop and put away my files. Leona quickly grabbed what I held out to her and we made our way to my room. I sat on the bed and like usual she took the floor.
"You're still sulking? M come on." Krystal said, barging in without knocking. As usual. When she heard I was stuck here she decided to come along. Her new pet, a boy named Adam, followed his owner into the room and sat on the floor with Leona. She smiled at him and whispered something in his ear, causing him to giggle.
"I'm not sulking." I answered back, moving over to give my best friend space. She plopped herself down and snatched up my laptop.
"Bullshit." I rolled my eyes and took my computer back, putting it on the nightstand.
"Why are you here? Don't you have Navy Seal to break or something." I hissed. She busted out laughing.
"No. Just got finished with that one there" She said, gesturing to Adam. I raised an eyebrow.
"How long?"
"6 years give or take. He was too dangerous to keep in the house, so the basement of the office building was best. And get this, he was an ID officer." She replied smugly. I stood up abruptly.
"Krystal are you fucking serious? You kidnapped and broke an Island Defense Officer? Why? You do know that's illegal right." I said. She held her hands up.
"Relax M. Completely legal since he wasn't officially an Officer the day I took him. Someone didn't read the fine print where it said they aren't protected" She teased, adding on a little giggle. I rolled my eyes.
"It's kinda implied. What are you doing building a mini army?" I asked. She shrugged then changed the subject.
"Let's go shopping. It's boring and stuffy up here and if you grab that laptop one more time I'm going to strangle you with the charger" She demanded, grabbing my wrist and pulling me up. I frowned and tried to pull away.
"Come on K. I hate shopping. Plus we can't take them with us" I said with a frown, gesturing over to Adam and Leona. They both looked at each other uneasily.
"So what. Lock them in here or somewhere. Adam will stay, wont you?" Her hand shot out and tightened around his neck. Immediate panic filled his eyes and he nodded viciously. She let go and tossed me a smirk.
"Fine. Let's go then." I caved, picking up my laptop and my files and walking out of my room. Krystal locked the door and set a boundary just in case they decided to try something stupid. After depositing my stuff in my office we were on our way.
"Don't make me regret this K."
"No promises".
(Time Skip)
Summer's POV:
I had no clue how long I've been here. I've grown used to Oscar fawning and pampering me and my now very swollen belly. I had tests every other day, checking my babies health and my own. Maya's Step Mother gave me lots of special treatment, a lot more than the normally pregnant girls.
"Summer? It's time to get up sweetheart" I opened my eyes and sat up quickly. Immediately the doctor grabbed a spare pillow and tucked it behind my back, urging me to stay lying back.
"Test number what, 332?" She joked. I didn't answer. I never did. I knew she meant well, but she was working with her to do whatever it was that was being done to me. Her smile dimmed and she halfheartedly began taking my vitals.
"Everything looks good so far. You're right on track" She assured me, pulling the heart rate monitor away from my arm. Again, I nodded. Then I spoke.
"How long have I been here?". She bit her lip, glancing wearily at the camera in the corner. She shook her head, pulling away and handing me a glass of water.
"I'll see you in two days hmm? Why don't you go to the lounge and hang out with some of the other girls?" She suggested. Then she left. I sighed, getting up and walking to the bathroom. Standing in front of the mirror I pulled my first up to my chest and ran a hand over my stomach. It was a lot bigger than I thought it was. The dresses stopped fitting after a little bit, so they gave me oversized grey shirts and sweatpants to wear.
"It's so big...was I here for 9 months?" I wondered out loud. Of course I got no answer. I took the rest of my clothes off and stepped into the shower, blasting the warm water. I closed my eyes, leaning back against the wall and letting the water cascade down my body.
Flashback
"This one is pretty" I opened my eyes weakly, immediately closing them against the bright lights. I heard someone curse them the sound of heavy boots hitting the floor. I slowly opened my eyes again, only to be met with a someone in a black hoodie. They were leaning over me alongside someone in a dark grey hoodie. Both had masks over their faces that only exposed their eyes.
"Green eyes. They go crazy for those. Highest on the list." Grey hoodie said. I struggled to raise my hand up, wondering if these guys were even real. He grabbed my hand with his and gently put it down.
"Shhh. We're gonna take good care of you" he whispered. I backed up, slamming into something hard.
I slid down the shower wall, my head aching and the water running down my back. I reached my hand back to feel where i hit my head. When I pulled my head back I was shocked to see it stained with blood. I blacked out just as the bathroom door burst open and someone yelled my name.
"Summer!"
