Chapter 213 - Abandoned!

When Caroline opened her eyes, it was already morning. The sun rays were already invading the room through the window, the room was familiar, she was in the same room that she was sleeping on the first very first night she left her husband's side.

She concluded that she was in Allison's home!

Then her mind suddenly recalled everything that happened before she loses consciousness. Allison wants her to kill the captives!

Oh no!

She sat upright. What happened to them after she loses consciousness? She didn't remember anything that transpired after.

She will ask Allison...If that crazy woman won't answer her question then she will ask Owen.

She got up from the bed, went to the door, and was about to open it but it won't budge even with several attempts on her part.

Her eyes widened! Oh my God! Allison got her locked up inside her mansion!

She went back to the bed and cradled her face with her hands as torrents of tears start falling from her eyes.

She realized bitterly that Allison won't let her go. What's she's going to do now?

She feels so lost and broken as of this moment.

A few minutes later, her tears subsided, she has to stop crying and not feel stress out because she already had a baby inside her tummy, she will have to take care of her health so that the baby will grow healthy. It's the only best thing she can do for her baby.

Then she heard the sound of something moving outside. It looks like somebody was opening the door!

She holds her breath in her chest.

The door opened and Owen came inside holding a tray laden with food. "Breakfast in bed!" he announced. He placed the tray in the table nearby. He walked towards the door.

"Owen wait...!" she said.

Owen halted on his tracks and looked at her. "What is it—?"

"What happened to the captives inside the warehouse?" she asked.

Owen put her finger on his mouth. "Shh...don't mention that scene ever again. Somebody might hear you. I'm sorry, Caroline, Madam, told me to keep my mouth shut from now on. If you want, you can ask her yourself. I suggest that you start eating your breakfast after I get out of the door. Madam, will visit you soon and talk to you," he elaborated.

"But I have no appetite, I don't like eating!" she protested.

"It's up to you. Your baby will get hungry as well," Owen reminded her and proceed in exiting the door.

Allison's minion was already out of the room.

But Caroline was still staring at the door. Then she remembered that she had a phone, she can ask her family for help!

She bolted from the bed and went to the closet, but her knees go weak after seeing that the closet only contains her clothes, but her phone was nowhere to be found!

It only means one thing, Allison was holding her cellphone.

She felt sad that she can no longer ask for help.

She went to the table and sat on the chair, she starts eating the food. Even if she has no appetite, she will force herself to eat just for the sake of her baby.

She munches on the rice, scrambled egg, and slices of bacon.

While eating, her mind was busy thinking about what's going to happen next? She needs to know what Allison was planning first. She was confused as heck with her present situation!

Does Allison plan to lock her up inside this room forever?

The question kept swirling in her mind while eating.

Thirty minutes later, she manages to finish consuming everything in the tray. She opened the bottle of mineral water and took a sip.

She put back the cutlery in the tray and went back to the bed.

Then she starts thinking again on how to get out of this difficult situation that Allison was trapping her into. How?

She waited for that psycho woman to come to her room.

Still nothing...

She went inside the bathroom to take a bath.

Lunchtime comes.

Owen came to the room, he brought another tray of food and took away the first tray.

Caroline no longer wastes her time asking Owen, he won't admit anything at all.

She devoured the foods on the tray without hesitation, especially the delicious vegetable soup mixed with fried fish 'coz it's healthy for her unborn child.

She spent the whole afternoon, watching a random show on the television. Allison was a no show.

Then nighttime comes.

Owen brought dinner for Caroline and after putting the tray in the table, he exited the room holding the previous tray in his hand.

Caroline no longer attempted to escape. Owen is so much stronger than her and besides she was inside Allison's mansion, all people here work for her. No one will risk their jobs to help her.

But she will wait for the perfect opportunity to escape!

Two hours, after dinner, Owen returned to get the tray.

Allison entered the room, giving Caroline a sharp look. Owen exited and closed the door behind him.

Allison released a deep sigh and looked at Caroline in the eyes. "I'm very disappointed with you Caroline! Why did we end up with all these shits!? You're the one who started all this!" she blamed the girl. "All I have done is helping you keep your dark secret under the rug. I give you all the support that I can give, but why...you're running away from our agreement? Why are you doing this to me? All I ask from you is to stay by my brother's side until he passed away, but why can't you do it! Tell me why!?"

Caroline suppressed her tears. Now is not the time to be emotional. She must be careful with her words or else she will experience being slapped again.

"I...I just want to ask...what happened to the captives?" she began.

Allison raised a brow. "Huh? You didn't remember—?" A devilish gleam appeared on her eyes.

Caroline brows furrowed. "What do you mean?" she asked, as confusion marred her pretty face, knots were forming in her stomach. She doesn't like the evil look that Allison was throwing at her right now.

"Hmm, that's strange, you don't remember a thing, do you? Well...l I have to remind you that you killed those captives last night, you bury a total of four bullets on their heads, two bullets per head to be exact," Allison spoke calmly.

Caroline covered her face with her hands in shock. "No! That's not possible! I lose consciousness and doesn't remember anything!"

Allison smiled and laughter erupted from her mouth. "Don't worry...I hide the gun away...they were filled with your fingerprints! If the gun will fall in the hands of the police authority, you are done! Just imagine...you killed a total of three people to date! Oh my! I only killed two people, but you outnumbered me!" She clapped her hands in glee. "Well done, Caroline! You impressed me!"

Allison's laughter vibrated around the room.

Caroline cried bitterly. Of course, she knows the truth. She didn't kill those people!

"I never killed those people! You set me up! This is blackmail!" Caroline shouted in anger.

Allison shrugged, ignoring the girl's outburst. "Who cares...? The police and the people only care about fingerprints that are pointing to the murderer. If you surrender and go on trial, how can the jury show you sympathy after learning that you already killed 3 people to date? Ah, don't worry, I won't add Veralyn to your murder case. She's my responsibility."

Caroline was having a hard time breathing, suffocated by the evilness that emanating from Allison's persona. "Why are you doing this to me, Allison? Where is your conscience!?" she gritted her teeth in anger.

Allison glowered at her. "Oh... don't blame me! Those people you killed last night? They will stop at nothing until they will uncover the truth that you murdered Brenda! They will expose you and me. I just took matters in my hand. In fact, instead of whining and complaining, you must be thankful that I help you capture those people and now they are completely silent. Nobody can expose your dark secrets anymore!" she hissed.

Caroline was now reduced to tears. "So...what do you want from me?"

"Now we're talking!" Allison grinned. "You know what? I just realized that I want the same thing since the very beginning. But you had a changeable mind! You abort our deal at every opportunity that fits you! You are not a good partner!"

It's emotionally draining talking to Allison. Caroline asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Let me remind you, dear. The stake is now high against you. One wrong move and it will all come crashing down on you. All I need from you is very simple, stay with my brother until he passed away, then you will regain your freedom back," Allison repeated.

"B-but...I'm already pregnant!" Caroline protested.

"Don't worry about that. I will buy medicine that can abort the fetus in your w.o.m.b. Once the baby is removed from your tummy, you are no longer pregnant. That solves all your problems, am I right?" Allison said casually.

Caroline broke down in front of Allison. She dropped on the floor on bended knee begging for mercy. "Please, spare my child, Allison!" she cried harder.

Allison studied Caroline tear stricken face for a few minutes. "I'll consult with someone first on what to do with your baby..." she responded.

Caroline brows knitted together. "W-who?"

"Secret!" Allison replied. "I'm done talking to you. Now we will continue our agreement! Don't you dare escape away from me again, or else, your guilty face will grace the covers of every newspaper in town!" she warned her.

Allison walked towards the door.

"Can you please, give me back my cellphone?" Caroline begged.

Allison throws her a death glare. "In your dreams!" after saying the scathing remarks she exited the door.

Caroline continues crying in the bed. Her body was trembling with agony, fearing for the future of her unborn baby.

That night, before midnight, Caroline succ.u.mbs to sleep with tears glistening in her eyes, feeling broken inside, thinking that God has already abandoned her.
