Chapter 4 - She's. Awake

"Where I'm i?." Hailey pushed Fiona and moved swiftly to her side.

She tried to help her get up but her legs were still weak.

" We need a disguise, we can not be moving about so recklessly if not we will get caught instantly." The other two nodded.

Hailey got two masks for her and Angelica but none for Fiona.

" What about me?." Fiona asked mildly.

Hailey responded by giving her a stare of disgust. Angelica felt bad for Fiona but was too weak to do anything about it.

"Hey it's them, the girls from the news." A stranger pointed, and a group of thugs raised there clubs and chased after them.

Fiona fell and got injured, they left her behind.

After getting to a quiet place Angelica pushed Hailey away and stopped her advances.

" What you did to her was extremely wrong, you knew how much she needed us."

This was the first time Angelica told her she was wrong, and all because of that lousy pretty face. Though there was something strange about Angelicas behavior.

She was acting like a child, pouting her lips and keeping her arms akimbo.

"Are you okay, are you strong enough to run away now, you know we still have a long way to go."

She was silent, she really did not want to go any where without Fiona, Hailey was irritated.

She brought her down from the cart forcefully, and then Angelica started crying like a toddler.

"Will you stop." Nothing she did made her calm if she continued like this, then they would get caught for sure.

Hailey abandoned her, besides she was not the one they were looking for. She took off the disguise and headed for the other direction, she hid as soon as she saw the mob holding Fiona tightly.

"You there." A strange man said making her heart skip a beat.

"Hold her, I need to go pee." Hailey stared into Fiona's eyes and remembered Angelica's cry, she was filled with hatred but had no choice.

"She is a married woman you can not hurt her without the permission of her husband." She screamed.

Fiona shook her head several times, trying to deny the fact that she belonged to someone else.

"She is Desmond's wife, if he finds out what you all have being doing you will all go to jail."

Hailey heard someone clapping behind her, the sound made her heart beat so loud she refused to look behind her.

"Such a wonderful introduction, for someone like me, I mean I am who you say I am, just a little bit more evil."

Fiona recognized that voice, it was her fiance, she stepped on Haileys foot immediately and took off trying to escape.

When guards emerged from the shadows and caught her in a circle.

"You see miss, I thought my fiance was beautiful until I met you." He said in a whisper while he carressed her hair.

Intentionally disrespecting Fiona.

"I found the missing girl, were rich." The mob cheered and toasted. Beers were raised high in the sky. Then suddenly silence.

Desmond called Angelica's father and told him about the positive developments he sent a huge sum of money to the mob and they splitted it among themselves.

"Well that was not so bad." She stared at the card in her hand.

Fiona looked down as the people laughed at her. She thought this was her ticket to freedom.

Angelica stared at Fiona she looked exactly like the girl she saw in her dreams.

Back Home .

" What have you done to her?." Angelicas father thundered, his eye balls trying to pop out of there sockets.

"Oh please don't act like you care." Hailey's tongue slipped. She covered her lips with her finger, her heart filled with instant regret.

"What did you just say?, no matter how brutal I am with her I still care, I am not a monster, although it seems you are the monster here."

Hailey's eyes widened, was she in trouble?, she has never seen him so furious, she touched her curly hair with her hand.

Desmond had seen enough.

"Alright let's go home and this time I will teach you proper manners." He spoke roughly to Fiona before everyone, she felt so ashamed.

Fiona had always being treated with disdain right from her childhood, starting with her parents, then bully's at school and now her husband, she never knew what it felt like to be respected.

"Let her go." Angelicas voice cut through the air, Hailey marvelled slightly, was not she the same person playing toddler a few hours ago.

"Let her go, at least let her stay here for a while, I will need someone to assist me because Hailey will be gone for a long, long, time."..

Her father nodded, and fired her at the spot, Angelica had always loved Hailey, until she found evidence that proved that she was an accomplice to different crimes.

No wonder she has many costumes.

"I'm afraid your personal affairs are of no concern to us.

Fiona will be my wife in a few days, I think you should focus on getting a husband of your own."

His words pierced her heart, she had never thought of such before, will her father even let her experience such freedom. Then she heard another idea, get married leave town and divorce her husband.

"Thank you so much for you hospitality." Desmond bowed and walked away.

Hailey stood there wondering if she was really fired, she thought she and Angelica had something special but it seems she was wrong..

' This is not the end missy, you have disrupted my plan, but I will return and make you more addicted to me than you ever thought you'll be.'. She soloqiozed.

Angelicas father took her upstairs to her bedroom, it was the first time he realized how lonely they both were, and that was the reason why he slept with her thinking it will fill the empty spaces her mother left.
