Jasmine rubbed her forehead slightly, she's got a migraine. She stared at the glass she'd mistakenly knocked off.
Not long, Martin walked in.
"You're awake baby!" He asked.. she scoffed loudly, as if it wasn't obvious.
Martin walked over to her side, bent and began picking up the glasses.
Jasmine thought of kicking him hard then run away! Yes! maybe she'd do that.
Suddenly, her eyes moved to the side lamp beside her bed. Since he was backing her, it was easy for her to pick up the lamp. Then slowly, she smashed it on his head.
Martin groaned, holding his head..
Jasmine took the opportunity and quickly jumped off the bed and dashed out of the room. As she did, Martin managed to stand up, staggering a bit, then ran after her.
Jasmine could here the sound of his footsteps getting close. With her heart beating fast, she hopes she makes it out of here.
She was so close to the exit door... So damn close, when Martin caught her by the hair and pulling her back.
She yelped as Martin dragged her hair.
"You think you can just escape? And I'll let you go!" Martin barked. He was damn angry.
"Pl.. please let me go! Just let me go!" Jasmine yelled in tears.
"Not so fast baby! We still have a long way to go!" Martin said. "C'mon!" He began to drag her back upstairs.
Getting inside the room, he roughly pushed her to the bed. Jasmine groaned as she felt a sharp pain on her tommy.
She held her tommy as she groaned Even more!
Martin watched her keenly... Then it dawned on him.
"Are you pregnant Jasmine?" He asked... He Jasmine didn't bother to answer him, she just kept wincing in pain.
"You're pregnant aren't you?" He asked again.
"Damnit!" He yelled punching the wall.
Angrily, he walked to her and held her hair.. "Why didn't you let him touch you? I was your first, I should have been your second" He Left her and moved back.
Taking one last look at her, he stormed out. Jasmine winced! She just feels weak as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Where are you Liam?... please, come save me!; She thought before falling unconscious. .

"What took you so long Adam?" Liam asked Immediately he walked into Liam's Mansion. .
"I just had to make sure my act was convincing enough!"
"And did he believe you?" Stephen asked.
"I guess so!"
"What about Jasmine, did you find anything suspicious!" Liam asked.
"No!... There's no trace of Jasmine. Except for the sound that came from a room!"
"What sound?"
"A glass, shattering to pieces!".
"Damnit!" Liam cursed. What if it's actually Jasmine in there?
"Let's see what this CCTV footage has!" Stephen said fixing into a system.
They all concentrated as the CCTV footage began to display the scene of Martin at the parking lot and how a lady hopped into the car.
"Pause!" Adam suddenly said and Stephen did just that.
They all turned to look him curious.
"That's the same lady I bumped into at Martin's house!..."He said.
"Did you manage to see her face?" Liam asked.
He shook his head negatively... "Martin only told me, she's his fling!"
"Uhmm! Fling!" Liam said not believing it. How can a fling dress like an assassin?
They continued watching until the point the lady removed her face cap!
"Pause!" Stephen did as told.
"Zoom in a bit" Stephen zoomed in.
Liam stared at the face carefully... "That's Claudia!"
"Who's Claudia?" Both Stephen and Adam asked.
"My supposed Ex fiancee!" Liam said smirking.
"What could she be doing with Martin?" Adam asked.
Suddenly, Liam's phone beeped! He glanced at it only to see a picture of Jasmine and a man on top of her.
He threw his phone away and balled his fist in anger.
Adam picked up the phone and stared at it, together with Stephen.
"This is Martin!... this is the same short he wore" Adam said.
"How dare they make my Jasmine unconscious and try to set her up!" Liam growled.
"What should we do now Liam?" Stephen asked.
Liam gritted his teeth... He felt like punching Martin as the picture flashed through his mind. .
"Now this explains everything!! Claudia's so desperate to have me. Same goes with Martin. He's so desperate to have Jasmine!" .
None could get what he meant, so he elaborated. .
"Claudia would do anything to have me. She knows where Jasmine is,, perhaps, she had Jasmine kidnapped. Both she and Martin are working together!" Liam said like he knew all that. .
"What do we do next?" Adam asked.
"This is the point where I come in!"
They stared at him in confusion.
"This is where I make them believe I've given up on Jasmine!" Liam said.
"What made you think Claudia would be so gullible to spill out where Jasmine is?" Adam asked.
"This short time, I've come to know what Claudia's capable of doing. I know how much she claims she loves me. I can use that love against her".
"Are you sure it's gonna work?" Stephen asked.
"I'm certain it won't only lead me to Jasmine... But that would be the end of them both" He said confidently.
He smirked.... "Let the game begin Claudia!" He thought.
Later at night!!
Claudia walked into Liam's Mansion... The entire place looks dark.
She'd received a call from Liam a while ago.. He sounded dejected and he asked her to come over. Being elated, she wasted no time in rushing over.
"Claudia!!..." She heard Liam call and the lights switch on!
She turned to his direction! only to see him with a glass of wine in his hands. Also, he was smiling sweetly at her.
"My beautiful Claudia!" He called again, this time, even louder.
Claudia stared at him dumbfounded. Did he just call her beautiful? OMG! She felt her cheeks heat up.
"I'm sorry Claudia!" Liam said.
Claudia moved closer to him.. "Sorry for what Liam?"
"I never listened to you!. I was so foolish!" He said and belched slightly .
"Liam..."
"I'm sorry Claudia!!... I'm sorry!" He said then gulped from the wine.
"No! That's enough Liam! " She tried to take the wine from him but he didn't let her.
Instead he took her hands and dragged her to his mini bar.
"I trusted her... I loved her,, only for her to betray me!"
"Who?.. Who betrayed you?" Claudia asked even if she already knew the answer.
"Jasmine! She cheated on me!!"
A smile formed at the corner of her lips.
"I.. I thought she loved me.." He belched. "She lied to me!"
"Hey! It's okay... I knew she was gonna do that. I'm supposed to be your wife Liam but she took my place".
"I Know... You were supposed to be my wife and not that cheat!. But I guess it's too late... Now I'm all alone"
"No! No! It's not too late.. I'm here for you!" Claudia said sweetly.
"No, it's late! I can't ask you to be my wife... I've messed up my chances. I wish I married you instead"
Claudia's eyes dimmed.. Did he just wish he'd married her?.
"Like I said Liam, it's not too late"
"Do you mean you're ready to be my wife despite my shortcomings?"
"Yes! I love you so much Liam".
"Thank you! Thank you Claudia!" Liam said holding her hands.
She smiled at him then began to lean forward, bringing her lips close to his.
"What are you doing?" Liam asked.
"Trying to kiss my soon to be husband!"
Liam quickly moved away and took a bottle, then cleared his throat... "Before we do that, why don't we toast to this new relationship!"
"Sure!" Claudia said, settling back on her sit.
Liam reached for another glass, poured it, then handed it to her.
"Cheers!" Liam said, raising his hands sluggishly.
"Cheers to us baby!" Claudia said, and in a goal, she gulped down the whole content.
"Want some more?" Liam asked and she nodded. He poured her some more and watched as she gulped the entire content.
There was a comfortable silence among them as Liam watched her silently.
Claudia started giggling.. "I need more wine. Oh!.. This feels so good!" She said in a drunken way.
Liam smiled victoriously. The wine has taken effect on her. It was a plan for him to get Claudia drunk then make her spill where Jasmine is.
Claudia whistled then stood up and began to dance around to an imaginary music, wagging her hands in the air. She began to twirl her waist.
"I feel so good!" She yelled. "Finally, I've gotten my place. Good riddance to bad Jasmine!" She said out loud and burst into laughter.
Liam felt it was a good time, so he stood up and walked up to her.. He tried holding her but she didn't let him.

"C'mon baby! Let's dance!" She said.
"No! You have to answer me this Claudia! Where is Jasmine?" Claudia stopped dancing and stared at him, more like a glare. He could see and evil glint pass through her eyes and for a sec, he almost thought she wasn't drunk.
