Quotes:

I'm Terrified, I'm Hurt, I'm Lonely. But When I Think Of You I Feel Safe And Everything That Scares Me Fades Away.

~Unknown~

I took a sip from my wine, watching everyone dancing and having a stupid bullshit smile plastered on their face. It's been five minutes since Layla hasn't come to me. I'm guessing she is with the girls or something.

My eyes caught Katherine who came rushing towards me with scared written all over her face. "Toni!" She tried catching her breath.

I furrowed my brows setting my cup down. "What? What's wrong?" I asked, she shakily opened her palm revealing Layla's bracelet.

"I went to check the bathroom since she was gone for five minutes and she wasn't in there and when I was coming out I saw this next to the door." I slowly took the bracelet from her.

"What the fuck do you mean, Layla isn't there!?" I shouted.

She sighed. "She's gone, I checked the whole ballroom, she isn't here anymore." I clenched my jaw my hands balled into a fist.

"Where the fuck is Ian?" I asked dangerously calm.

She looked at me with wide eyes and fear written in them.

I coughed loudly, my body was laying on something hard and uncomfortable. Trying to move my hand but they felt tied, my eyes fluttered open revealing a dark room and only a window which was bared.

I gasped looking up to see my hands tied, to the bedpost. Flashbacks of last night came to my head. "No." I whispered trying to open my hands from the tie. "No. No. No." I cried, as Ian's face flashed into my mind before I blacked out.

I was kidnapped by Ian. This can't be happening right now. I stopped trying to untie myself when the door opened revealing him with a smile on his face making my body shiver. "My beautiful bride is awake." My eyes widen as tears filled them causing my eyes to become blurry.

"Why did you do this?" I whispered, trying to move my hand but it was no use the ropes were tight causing my blood circulation to stop.

His smile dropped as his hand shot up and grabbed my chin in a tight grip. "Because you are mine." He kissed my cheek, making me shiver in disgust as he made his way down to my neck.

"Please, let me go." I begged and cried, he ignored continued to kiss down my neck. "If Toni's finds out he'll kill you." I whispered quiet scared, he stopped kissing my neck.

Pulling away from me and looking at me with a dirty stare. "Bring that dirty man's name near me i'll punish you." He gripped my cheek.

"Ian, I beg you! Let me go." I cried.

He slapped me making my head turn to the other side. "Shut up!" He screamed. "Ask me to let you go again, i'll teach you something." He threatened. "I'm leaving and don't think of screaming it's useless." He pushed me down walking out of the room slamming the door shut then I heard a lock.

I sobbed pulling at the ropes. "Help me!" I screamed crying my eyes out. "Toni." I whispered with a sob escaping me.

Pacing back and forth in the living room, rubbing my mustache with my jaw clenched my anger was so high it made my head hurt. Serena sighed standing up walking towards me. "Calm down." My head snapped to her.

Anger burned in me. "Calm down!?" I chuckled in anger. "Yeah, i'll calm down not like my wife is in danger because of your fucking brother." I shouted, gripping her arm. "If you are lying to me by telling me you don't know where he is i'll fucking torture you." I pushed her causing her to stumble back.

Travis walked up to me. "We'll find her." I breathed heavily watching Kevin on the phone with one of his stupid friends.

I looked over at Travis. "Call Drake." I ordered him storming out of the living room to see Lori on the staircase sitting down crying with her head in her hands while my mother was beside her calming down.

I shook my head storming out of the house without saying a word to anyone. I watched Drake get out of his car and walk towards me. "Got a call what the hell happened?" He asked.

"What do you think fucking happened!?" I snapped, he sighed beside me. "Ian took my fucking wife!" Drake slowly backed away from my anger.

He shrugged. "I told you not to go to that stupid party." He shot back.

I sent him a glare. "Shut the fuck up and help me find my wife." I stormed inside of the house leading him into the office. "If he has done something to my wife he will not make it out alive." I threatened coldly. "Security footage." I whispered, Drake looked at me with wide eyes.

"Why didn't you say that sooner!?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Because that's his fucking ballroom and his stupid little bastards are guarding there, dumbfuck." I rubbed my jaw harshly.

"We can sneak i-" He was cut off by my phone ringing.

I growled pulling my phone out. "Bastard." I answered the phone call. "Where the fuck is my wife!? I swear to god Ian if you don't tell me i'll put a cap in your motherfucking head!" I shouted gripped the phone tightly in my hand.

His laugh echoed through the phone. "You think it's that easy to get rid of me? Ian Dunbar?" He continued to laugh, my jaw clenched in disgust. "You Toni Mahfud are great at jokes." He slowly stopped laughing. "I called to tell you that you should give up looking for your wife, she ran away with me, our hands interlocked telling me she loved me, goodbye Toni." He ended the call.

"Bastard!" I roared throwing the phone at the wall crashing it into pieces. "Disgusting bitch!" I flipped the chair, Drake stood up.

"What the fuck happened!?" He asked.

My head snapped to him. "He told me she ran away with him." I said surprisingly calmly.

Drake's face softened. "She wouldn't do that, she's not like that." I nodded my head storming out of the office entering the living room heading towards Serena.

"Where is she?" I asked gripping her arm, she looked at me with fear written in her face. "I know you know where they are, so tell me!" She jumped back.

"Toni, please." She whined in pain. "Fine! I'll tell you something! I didn't want to tell you since I knew it would break your heart." I slowly loosened my grip.

"What?" I snapped.

She pulled something out of her purse with her free hand. "This was written by Layla." She shakily handed me the paper. "They were meeting behind your back." I pushed her away turning and walking out of the living room.

Opening the stupid envelop and taking the letter out.

Toni, I know it hurts but I had to. I was never in love with you, I had to lie just to be in this family I wanted to experience the rich life. But when I met Ian everything changed I started catching feelings for him I started to fall in love with him. So I decided to runaway with the person I love. I'm sorry Toni, forgive me.

~Layla.~

I gripped the paper tightly, it felt like the past was repeating itself. "Fuck you!" I shouted, ripping the paper apart. "This is bullshit!" I screamed out loud, my mom came rushing towards me.

"What's wrong!?" She asked, worriedly.

"She ran away with him! She fucking left willingly!" I shouted, looking over at Lori who was staring with wide eyes.

Shaking her head repeatedly. "There is no way my daughter would do that." She told me, tears running down her face.

I chuckled out of anger. "She did, she's just like all these other girls. That can't get enough of men." I snapped, pushing past her storming up the stairs. I slammed the room door throwing my suit jacket off, rubbing my face aggressively. I stared at her picture across from me.

My jaw clenched and each second my blood would boil. I stormed towards the picture frame grabbing it and throwing it to the ground causing it to shatter in pieces. "Fucking Slut!" Everything felt like the past.

The old cold Toni was going to return.

I breathed out the dirty dusty air, dry tears were stained on my face as new tears were starting over again. Every part of my body felt numb and sore. All I want was Toni and his warm body against mine as he wrapped his arms safely around me.

The door clicked open revealing Ian with a smirk on his face. "How is my love doing?" He asked, I turned my face away not looking at him. "Sorry to tell you this but Toni thinks we ran away together." He smirked happily.

I looked at him in shock. "Why are you doing this?" I asked, sobbing. "Leave me!" I screamed with tears falling down my face.

His smirk dropped and he raised his hand slapping me across the cheek. "Say that again I dare you, now get some fucking sleep, ungrateful bitch." He stood up, staring at me in disgust before walking out of the room.

I cried when I heard the door slam shut, looking down at the ground to see a phone, I gasped in relief. I tugged at the ropes looking around to see a sharp piece of metal next to the bed. I put my legs out with my foot I grabbed onto the metal.

I somehow managed to put it in my hands, clenching onto it slowly tearing the rope apart, closing my eyes praying to god it would untie quickly. I gasped when the metal made contact with my skin accidentally cutting it, holding myself from screaming.

Feeling the rope rip apart, I sighed in relief when my hands were free, running to grab the phone. I picked it up shakily unlocking it in a rush, Toni's number was on the dial log and I quickly called it putting it to my ear letting a shaky breath out.

"Come on, Toni." I whispered, with tears falling out of my eyes.

The call ended, I gasped calling again waiting for him to answer after three rings he didn't answer. I went through his contacts to see Kevin's name written. I quickly dialed it. I prayed to god that he would answer.

After two rings he answered. "What the fuck do you want?" Kevin snapped.

"Kevin, help me." I cried.

"Layla?"

"Kevin, I don't have much time. Ian dropped his phone he'll come back for it! I'm begging you please help me! Get me out of here! I'm scared." I cried holding the phone tightly.

He let out a shaky breath. "We thought you ran away with him." I shook my head like he would see me.

"No. No. I wouldn't!" I responded with my voice coming out shakily and scared. "He kidnapped me! Kevin I beg of you please help me!" I sobbed my knees buckled and I fell to the ground.

"Okay, okay! We'll help you! Just tell me where you are at."

I looked around the room. "I didn't see he drugged me." I sniffed.

"Okay, stay on the phone we'll track the phone."

"Okay."

My heart stopped when I heard the door click, standing up in a rush before I could run the bed the door opened revealing Ian. He saw me and stared at me with wide eyes. Slamming the door shut, I hid the phone behind me.

He grasped my arm. "What the fuck are you doing?" He asked, looking at me angrily.

I didn't answer the first thing I did was kick him in his manhood, he groaned holding onto it, I pushed him to the ground and ran to the door opening it and running out. Kevin was still on the phone.

I ran down the stairs, my feet were taking me to wherever they thought were safe, I ran towards the door opening it and rushing out, It was the backyard which was all fenced. "No." My eyes caught a big rock that could help me climb the fence, running towards it climbing.

My heart stopped when I saw Ian and his men, I jumped off the fence and ran into the woods. "Get her!" I heard him shouted, I ran as fast as I could into the woods with tears running down my face.

I put the phone to my ear. "Kevin, help me." I begged, he replied but his voice started to crack because of the signal, I looked down to see the phone call had ended. "No." I cried before continuing to run off.

Kevin bursted into Toni's room revealing the room a mess, everything was torn apart, everything was broken. He looked over to his brother who was sitting on the ground with anger written all over his face as he played with his wedding ring.

Toni looked up at Kevin and rolled his eyes. "Toni, I found something serious out." Kevin told him in a rush.

"I don't want to hear it, now get out." He pointed at the door.

Kevin stayed put. "Toni, this serious." He could see the cold face his brother had on his face, it looked like the face he was wearing when he found out Travis and Holly ran away together.

"Kevin, I don't care!" He growled.

"Dammit! Toni! Your wife never ran away with him!" Kevin snapped at his brother who looked up at him not caring at all, thinking it was a lie. "She called me." Toni's face dropped. "She called with Ian's phone, she explained everything, it was a lie! She's scared and kidnapped!" He continued to shout at him.

"She was the one who called me?" Toni stood up looking at his phone that was on the ground in pieces, Toni had broken it when he thought it was Ian calling.

"No shit!" Kevin shouted sarcastically. "My friends and I tried tracking the call but the signal was gone, the last track was in the woods at Ian's safe house, we have to go before it's too late." Kevin said.

Toni ran towards the drawer picking up the silver heavy gun sticking it in his waistband. "Let's go get that bastard." He rushed out of the room with Kevin behind him, Travis rushed out of his room grabbing his own gun.

Kevin called Drake to meet up with them, they ran out of the house ignoring the looks the maids were giving them as they ran towards Toni's car. Toni didn't bother putting a seatbelt on as he drove off to get that lowlife who took his wife from him.

He sped down the streets, he was speeding so fast that the street became blurry but he could careless, all he wanted was to save his wife. He couldn't believe he fell for Ian's words, and that stupid letter. This was going to be the end of the Dunbar family.

He hit the breaks when they made it getting out of the car, Drake stopped behind Toni's car and got out quick with men following his action the all drew their guns out before heading towards the house.

Toni broke the door down easily before running in. "You two check upstairs, you three check these rooms. And the rest follow me." Toni ordered, they made their way to the backyard, Toni looked around the backyard his eyes widen when he caught sight of his wife's necklace.

He rushed towards it, picking it up. His eyes fell on the rock beside the necklace he just grabbed. "She ran here." Toni guessed, climbing the rock before swiftly throwing himself down the fence with the other doing the same.

"The woods." Kevin said, from beside his brother. "Come on." Toni lead the way into the woods holding his gun up making his way down the woods with sticks and trees everywhere on the ground.

"Toni!" Travis shouted, tackling his brother to the ground, as a bullet flew and hit the tree where Toni was standing at.

"Son of a bitch!" Drake shouted, shooting his gun at the three men, they fell to the ground injured when the bullets hit them. "Let's go." They quickly rushed down the woods hiding behind trees and bushes.

Toni shot a man in the shoulder from behind, kicking him in the back of the knee before hitting him in the back of the neck causing him to pass out. But his heart dropped when he heard something.

"Let go of me!" Her voice was heard, screaming and crying for help. "Help me!" She sobbed.

Toni rushed down the hill his heart stopped at the sight of Ian pinning her hands above her head as she continued screaming and kicking, he kissed her neck up and down. "Shut up." He ordered her, slapping her cheek.

"No, why won't you shut up." Ian heard turning around to see Toni standing there with a gun pointing right at his head.

Layla saw her husband and sighed in relief as tears rushed down her face, he slowly got off of her and stood up laughing. "The big and bad Toni came to save the day, aye?" Toni looked down at him in disgust.

"You'll regret this, son of a bitch." He hit Ian with the bottom of his gun causing him to fall to the ground. He kicked him repeatedly. "You think you could touch my wife and get away with it?" Toni questioned hitting him repeatedly. "You are wrong, you bastard." Ian tried hitting back but Toni dodged all hits and continued hitting him back.

Ian was all bloody and bruised, Layla watched with wide eyes as guns went off. From the men Drake had brought with him, they shot all of Ian's men until Ian was the only one left. "You think you could touch something of a Mahfud's and think you'll be free? You're wrong." Toni picked him up slamming him against the tree.

Layla closed her eyes and felt an arm around her to see Travis pulling her into his chest as Kevin and Drake were standing by Toni's side. "You're funny." Ian said, all bloody.

"This isn't a fucking joke." Toni headbutted him and threw him to the ground. "Should we finish him, boss?" They asked Toni.

Who shook his head. "They'll take care of him." He nodded at the cops that arrived, His eyes fell on Layla who was sobbing in Travis' shirt shaking in fear.

He slowly made his way to her, bending down as she pulled away from Travis and looked at Toni before wrapping her arms around Toni's neck crying into his arms as he wrapped his arms back around her kissing her forehead. "I'm here." He soothed her down rubbing her back.

She clenched onto his shirt. "Take me out of here." She begged, he picked her up bridal style as he walked past everyone and taking her from the hell she was in.

I stepped out of the shower, my eyes were red from tears. my mom grabbed my robe putting it over my body before taking me to the bed, she grabbed my brush quietly brushing my hair closing my eyes as she slowly combed my hair.

I felt her kiss my shoulder. "I'm so sorry, you went through that." She whispered as she continued combing my hair. I wiped the tear that fell from my eyes but stayed silent. "Let's get you to bed." She opened the blanket helping me get in as I laid my head down on the pillow. "I love you." She kissed my forehead.

Running her hand through my hair before turning away and walking out of the room, I closed my eyes letting the tears fall out of my eyes and onto my face. I shivered at the thought of being there.

The door opened revealing Toni who walked in looking tired, his eyes stayed on me as he took steps closer to me. He sat on the bed. "Come here." He opened his arms, I sat up throwing myself in his arms as he wrapped them around me kissing my wet hair. "I'm sorry." He whispered against my head.

I rubbed my hand against his chest not saying anything. "I love you." He kissed my cheek.

I slowly looked up at him. "I love you too." I whispered as my voice came out raspy and my throat felt sore from all the crying. My eyes fluttered closed before I fell asleep I felt lips against my forehead kissing it repeatedly.

"My angel." I heard him whisper before sleep took over me.
