Arabella's POV

"So what should I wear?" I asked my best friends and sisters. By best friends I mean only the girls, Paulyne and Alison, not the boys. Also my cute little niece joined us girls today who is currently playing with her aunt.

Annelise is a, what can be said, a God gifted angel to my family. Everyone was devastated when Susannah went through miscarriage and the surgery. My sister and brother-in-law was depressed and devastated since that accident till she adopted in this cute little muffin. She saved my sister and her husband. Not only them Annelise saved my whole family.

Paulyne looked at me with narrow eyes and then back to the closet. Then back to me.

"I'll help." She said before going inside the closet and vanishing in it. We are supposed to have a girls night out, of course in a club, as which is true none of us spend much quality time with our best friends as we have became much more busy dwelling with our personal lives and work.

"Okay." I sighed. "Ali, babe. My hair." I literally whined like a baby to my best friend as I was dead tired and uninterested in doing my own hair. Both of my sisters and Alison laughed at me before Alison got up from sitting on my bed came up to me shaking her head but grinning from ear to ear. I caught her hand and dragged her in the closet.

After I was done I stood in front of the large mirror and checked out my best friends work on me. I was wearing a black high neck dress which reach up to my thighs with slits on both side on my thighs. Golden buttons adorned the bodice and sleeves of this dress. I wore a pair of black knee length boots with heels. My hair was up in a messy bun and my eyes smoky with my lips nude.

"Doesn't the dress looks good on her?" Paulyne asked from behind me

"Doesn't the dress looks good on her?" Paulyne asked from behind me. She was wearing a red jumpsuit.

"It certainly does." Marissa said looking me up from head to toe. My sister was wearing a blue dress and matching heels.

"Let's get going." I said as everyone was ready to go out, except for Annelise as she isn't ready to go to club. Susannah will drop her off in her home to our mother. My mom forgets about everything speacially her children if she gets her two granddaughters. She love them like crazy.

We went to the club after dropping my little niece off. Arriving at the club I was greeted by my two other friends, Lilly and Ellie. Both of them were looking gorgeous in their sparkling outfit.

"Hey!" I said hugging them and they hugged me back.

Once every one was inside the club, the music was blasting through the largr wall speakers. EDM was playing in the speakers making me want to dance in that rythim.

"Wanna dance anyone?" I yelled the question over the loud music.

"Me Me!" Paulyne said jumping on her six inches heels excitedly. I laughed and she grabbed my hand before going on the dance floor.

"We're coming too!" My sister Marissa yelled grabbing Alison's hand following us to the dance floor. I swayed my hips in the music getting lost in it.

After dancing for a while I went back to the bar as my feet was in pain like hell. I sat on the bar stool as my best friends and sister carried on dancing. Never I am going to again dance in this killer high heels.

"Drink something?" Ellie asked sipping on her margarita.

"Nope. Just soda." I said. "I'm not going for strong alcohol. I'll get drunk and I don't want to get drunk." Because this time my boyfriend isn't here to save me.

"Okay." Ellie shrugged. I ordered my drink and turned to Ellie as my sister spoke up.

"Lilly would you like to dance?" My sister asked and Lilly nodded. I was served my drink and Ellie and I made small talk as I finished my drink.

"Excuse me I'll be back in a few minutes! " I screamed to Ellie over the blast of loud music. She was extremely drunk that her head lulled back and forth as she tried to nod at me. I laughed at myself as I got off the bar stool and navigating my way through the sea of people to the washroom.

Once I was finally done, I got out of the washroom and my phone started vibrating against my thigh in my purse. I opened the clutch and fished out my phone. I answered the call without checking the caller ID.

"Hello?" I asked blocking my other ear with my free hand to eliminate the loud music.

"Is this Arabella?" A frantic female voice greeted me back.

"Yes. Who are you?" I asked feeling anxious about what news she might have.

"Your friend or relative had an accident." She said breathing heavily. "His name is Alexander."

My knees weaken. No no no, how did Alex had an accident?! He was supposed to be in his home! With Dominic!

"Where is he?!" I exclaimed. "Give me the address!"

And she did. I ran out of the club with out letting my friends know where I was going. My brain wasn't working at all at that time. All I could think about was my boyfriend. God please keep him alright. I don't know what will I do if something...

No no no, I can't have negative thoughts! I can't... He will be alright. He have to be alright.

I got in my car and ignited the engine immediately. I didn't even bothered to buckle up my seat belt. I got the car out of the parking lot and drove at maximum speed toward the given direction. Tears welled up in my eyes blurring my vision, but I blinked them away. I was halfway toward my destination when an thought crossed my mind. Shouldn't Dominic know something about Alexander's accident?

I retrived my cell phone and dialed Dominic's number and called him. But he didn't picked up his phone. O called him again but it went straight to voicemail.

"Pick up the phone dammit!" I cried out of frustration when a sudden force of impact hit me hard. I slammed onto the steering wheel as a car hit mine from back. At first I thought it was just a close called accident but I was wrong. I looked at back at the car through the rare mirror as it came to an halt after hitting me, but instead it again started and took a u turn dashing toward my car. This person wants to damn kill me.

I immediately started my car and drove at the highest speed through the desserted street. I felt a trickling sensation from the side of my head, I touched the place with my fingertips and found it was blood. I was in a damn car chase with a psychotic killer behind me. I took a sharp left turn then an immediate right, hopping it will make that car lose me, but boy they are one hell of a crazy driver. Even after going through the zig zag alley the car didn't lost mine and still kept following me.

What will I even do now? It was a fucking trap and I fell in it. Whoever did this they want me dead, I clearly know that. I should call the police.

I dialed on my phone as I took another silent alley and drove. Ay that time everything happening was in slow motion. I opened my mouth as the call was recieved ready to ask for help but another huge blow of force hit my car making it lose it's balance. I hit the side of my head on the window pretty hard as my car flipped over and crashed into a tree, making my head flying toward the steering wheel and everything went black.
