SKAI JACKSON'S POV

The sharp rays of light entered my eyes as I slowly opened them. I felt sore and weak as I struggled to adjust myself in my seat.

I looked up at the window which reflected light rays into the car which made me squint my eyes.

"Thought you were dead." My attention was caught by Becky's voice. I sharply looked at her who was sitting beside me.

She was still wearing her black jumpsuit but this time she had a black leather jacket over it with her face firmly fixed on her phone.

I looked down at my hands that were tied together, there were red swollen marks around my wrists because of how tight the chains were.

"Why ?" I asked her as I looked up at her.

"Were you deaf when I told you everything earlier ?" She said with her eyes still fixed on her phone.

"No, I'm asking why you chose this path." Her eyes rose up from her screen as she raised one of her brows at me.

"What ?!"

"You could have been a good sister and support Mike and be like a sister to me and share all I have but you had to be a sneaky greedy brat!" I seethed as I said those words with closed teeth.

I felt a huge hit on my face which made me slam my face into the back of the seat in front of me.

The car came to an immediate stop which made me tumble on the floor, I groaned as I hit my head against a metallic object.

"Mind your words, you cheap slut!" She shouted at my face as she leaned her head closer to where I laid down.

"Keep driving!" She shouted at the driver who immediately started driving.

"Cheap ?!" I said as I narrowed my eyes as I felt a banging pain at the back of my head.

"Yes of course, that's what you are. Just after you ended things with Andre, you're warming the bed of Drake!" I gasped in shock at her words because this was someone who used nice words at me but now she's spitting harsh words at my face.

I closed my eyes tightly as I swallowed the harsh accusations she threw at me. "We both know that's a lie." I said as I tried to get up but that proved impossible because of my bounded hands.

"Everything's a lie, Skai." She rolled her eyes as she tucked her phone into her jacket.

"Correction, everything about you is a lie." She let out a heavy sigh as she grabbed me by braids and dragged me back into the seat.

"You're just being sore." I whined in pain as I relaxed my head against the seat.

"Right from the very start everything you knew was a lie." She smirked as she turned in her seat to face me.

"Well at first, I liked you but you were gaining all the attention from the guys even from my own admirers." She chuckled softly as she cocked her head sideways.

"Even when we did shifts at bars or we worked as janitors you were always the shining star and then I thought, who the hell are you ?! " I frowned at her as I couldn't recognize my best friend anymore.

"So why did you stick around ?"

"Of course, I had it in mind that as soon as I went to college I'd dump you but you just had to go to the same college." She pouted her lips as she sat upright in her seat."So I had to play the role of a supposed best friend. "

"You should have left me and saved me the heartbreak." I said as I looked away from her.

"Heartbreak ?! You don't know what heartbreak means." I turned my head to look at her with a disgust look on my face.

"Did you really think you and Andre naturally met ?" I blinked my eyelids repeatedly as chills ran through my body.

"What are you talking about ?!"

"Andre was mine first until you showed up." My heart did a back flip as those words flew through my ears.

"We were dating before you showed up on campus." She shifted closer to me.

"Everything was going so well I still loved him even if he was a mafia leader." I couldn't comprehend anything that was going on but I just kept blinking like a fool.

"Stunned right ?! Well that's how I felt when Andre ended things with me to be with you. " She shifted away as she let out a unamused laugh.

"Ho-how..." I couldn't make a sentence not could I make a word as I was still dazed by this revelation.

"I spent time with you and we had the same schedule, being my boyfriend he also knew my schedule and he followed it up so he could meet up with you all the time. " I looked at her and I could see tears bubbled in her eyes as she looked straight ahead.

"On top all of that I had to deal with the death of my parents and the fact that they didn't leave anything for me, like who does that ?!" She was now speaking with anger because she said each words with gritted teeth.

She leaned closer and gripped my face by the chin and drew me closer to her. "I suffered torture for five years! Every hug, touch and kiss you both shared pierced my heart, so think again when you talk of heartbreak." The hot breathe from her mouth plastered my cheeks and I watched her glassy eyes.

She was holding her tears and I knew she didn't want to cry in front of me but she can't hold it any longer as her face was red and swollen because she had bottled up her emotions that she's yet to express.

"I didn't know, if I knew I'd not have dated him." I said as I tried to wriggle my chin from her long nails that were piercing through my skin.

"Oh shut up, you have a knack for taking my man." She said as she forcefully threw my face away from her.

"I've waited so long to do all of this and it feels good seeing you in the same pain I felt for those times." She said as she laughed in a victorious manner.

I looked at her with shock and fear as she was laughing profusely. She increased the sound of her laughter as she brought out a gun from her jacket.

My eyes grew weary as she handled the gun in a careless manner, I knew for sure that she wouldn't think twice if she had to shoot me.

°°°°°°°°°°

We arrived at a hanger where few air crafts were packed and I could spot a jet that was ready for take off. There were cars parked around it and our joined the parked cars as it came to an halt.

Becky immediately stormed out of the car while the man who was seated at the front ran over to where I sat.

He opened up the door for me and I walked out to find Andre standing by the side of the laid out stairs of the jet.

I was escorted by the dangerous looking man to where Andre stood and I scanned through the huge jeeps with hefty men peeking out of it.

I thought to myself if all these men would be flying in this jet, even if the jet was enormous it wouldn't still accommodate all of them.

"Ahí viene la novia." Andre said as he smiled widely with his hands stretched out towards me.

"What does that mean ?!" I frowned as I was placed in front of him.

"Here comes the bride!" He smirked as he put his arms around me and led me on the stairs.

I looked behind me to see Becky who had a scornful look on her face as she walked behind us.

It made me wonder what she'd gain from this, Andre would still get married to me and I'd be dying with him. She'd not have him to herself nor would she get Mike's inheritance.

Maybe she had a trick up her sleeve, she has shown me a really shocking side of her so I'm sure she's capable of doing something vile.

I looked away from her in fear and despair as I entered into the jet on the arms of my dreaded enemy.

"Where are the cops now ?" Andre asked Becky who now had her eyes in her phone once again.

"According to Morales, he says they're at Mike's house." She said as she put the phone away.

"Good tell Morales to act and send the men there as back up." He said as he put me in one of the cushions.

"Okay." She said as she immediately walked up to the man that escorted me.

"What are you trying to do ?!" I asked him as he sat beside me.

"Well, I'm very sure Mike didn't die before the cops arrived." He said casually as he slumped into the cushion beside me.

"The cops already know too much and I'm sure they'd track me down to this location so I'd make them go boom alongside Drake." He said as he flashed me a wink.

"How heartless could you be ?!" I angrily barked at him but he laughed loud at my reaction which made tears roll down my eyes as I realized Drake was in danger.

"Save your tears till you hear Drake's death." He chuckled as he gestured for one of his men to come over.

"Get me a champagne, I'm in a really good mood." He ordered as he landed his eyes on me.

"They are all gone." Becky said as she sat opposite us.

"Morales ?"

"They are set." She said without looking up at him.

"Good! Good! Good!" He cheered as he looked at Becky then at me.

I watched as a tear dropped on the chains around my wrists which felt tighter as the seconds passed by, I felt scared and I wished for my Drake to be safe.

DRAKE JOHNSON'S POV

I watched as the ambulance took Mike's corpse away. I had my eyes fixed on the fading image of the vehicle when Thelma called me.

"We have our men on all borders and they are keeping track of all air ports even private hangers." I looked up at her with an expressionless look.

"We should get going then." I said as I turned towards where my car was parked.

"Hold on." I was stopped by Darius who gripped me by my shoulder.

"You can't follow us, what if we get them and it turns to a bloody shoot out, who's gonna be responsible for you ?!" He arched one of his brow as he removed his hand from my shoulder.

"There's no..." I was interrupted by a cop who was running down to where we stood.

"Sir we got a hold on Andre, he's in one of the ports on the outskirts of town." His words got our undivided attention because we were staring at him like he was a ghost.

"Okay, we're heading down there. Call back up!" Darius turned to look at me.

"Please just go home now." I was about to revolt when I felt my phone vibrate.

"Call me back later." I abruptly said into the phone without checking the ID.

"Drake ?" The calm familiar feminine voice hit my ears which made my shoulders relaxed..

"Mom ?! I'm so sorry,I didn't know it was you." I immediately apologized as I watched Darius walk towards his car.

"You didn't come to get me for the vacation, so I came to your house and it's empty." I slapped my forehead as I remembered I had to pick her up the day before our departure.

I rolled my eyes as I realized I couldn't go on with Darius to the port thanks to my mom.

"Where is everyone ?"She said as I turned around and walked away from them.

"Not home." I gave her a awkward response because I was out of ideas and I didn't know what to tell her.

"I can see that." She said as she emphasized the "see" which meant she wasn't pleased with my response.

I rolled my eyes as I entered the car then I started the ignition of the car with the phone still pressed on my ear with the aid of my right shoulder.

"Where are you ?! Why are your things not packed yet ?!"She complained as I navigated from where I parked.

"Why are you in..." I was cut short by a loud bang and the harsh sound waves affected my ears as I turned deaf to any other sound.

My hearing was least of my worries when I felt my car tumbling over, I quickly reached for my door but it refused to open.

Just like how my life was at the moment, my car was tumbling over and before I could picture what was happening everything was slowly going blank.

The fright and fear of losing my life alongside my bleeding ears made me lose track of reality while I heard a faint call of my name.
