"are you okay?" Darren's voice nudged me back to reality, I loomed my eyes and noted that everything was nothing but a terrible nightmare.
I had no idea why I couldn't stop smiling!! Or wait, i do,  Darren's gift still got me on the happy zone, it will take a whole doze of bad vibe to get me down, to sum it up,  I felt like I was on cloud nine.
"Yes!! I am" I answered trying to watch off the weirdest feeling around me, what those this dream signifies, is Tori's presence going to be of a problem to me?. I have got to phone my aunt and tell her what's going on.
(The hotel)
We got down and ambled into the hotel, Darren booked the double deluxe honeymoon suite, and damn, indeed the room illuminated with beautiful color lights, it can make a Married couple fall in love all over again.
"I will be back". Darren leaves the room after setting up his clothes at the wardrobes, leaving me behind.
And it allowed me to call aunt, now he's not around, so I dialed her number and gazed at the photo frame on the wall.
"Hello, baby!! How are you?" She asked through the phone.  I paused for a while and answered back, "I am not fine, aunt".
"Why?" She asked, that's when I told on everything that happened and the terrible nightmares I have been having for the past two days.
As usual, my aunt, said and I quote, "baby!! Please, pay no attention to it and besides, it shows how stressed you're, so!! Why don't you relax and have fun with Darren at the hotel but not too much fun".
I had no idea, how she found out, I went on a surprise honeymoon package with Darren, well, you can call it, an outing with my fake and contract husband, which of cause no one knew about it, except aunt.
The same day (9:00 pm)
A voice yelled outside the room, I strolled down, pushed the door open but found no one there but a sealed package with my name on it, I picked it up from the ground and went back it, opened up the package and saw it was a beautiful royal blue gown, gifted to me by Darren, underneath the pack was a written note, that reads, "please!! Put this on and come meet me at the hotel's restaurant".
Well, you can say, a weak smile Smudge on my face after taking note of his letter.
Immediately, I ran into the washroom and changed into the attire gifted to me by him (Darren)
I swiftly made my way to the restaurant and there he was, waiting for my arrival, he wore a tux of the same color and illuminates everywhere with heart-shaped decorations.
Darren made his way to me and winked, "welcome Mrs. Karol, been waiting for you". He takes me by my hand and sat down next to me on a chair which table was filled up with a three-course meal.
His behavior was strange to me, what has come over him that he showers me with gifts and now a romantic dinner?.
Is this a dream?" Am I hallucinating (contemplating to myself, while he serves me the prepared dish)?
"Spaghetti and meatballs, your highness?" His words regained me back to my senses, "oh wow!! How did you know I liked spaghetti and meatballs?". I asked a question and he shoots me a sly smile.
"Mr. Darren!! Are you feeling okay? You're acting strange?". I asked once more after seeing the look on his face.
He answered back, "I  am fine Karol!!! Can't I make the remaining time left with you, memorable?. After all, we only have 30 days to finally put an end, to this charade we call marriage?.
Question of the day?..
Karol just found out that!! She had 30 days to finally put an end to the contract marriage and get Mr Smith to finally pay for the sins he committed?.
After heeding to his words, I finally recalled my months of being with Darren is almost over, and I haven't gotten any nearer only getting Mr. Smith sent to jail for the crimes he committed.
"Shall we, have a romantic dinner?* He still maintained the exact look on his countenance and takes a first bite of the meatballs.
(Silence takes place as we quietly had a share of cute glances at each other).
He takes his wine glass and raised it from the table, charming his way around me. Somehow my eyes drift and fall on a gun pointed in our directions and directly to Darren.
"No!!". Luckily I pushed Darren to the ground as the bullet ran past and hits the champagne placed at the table
I jerked to from the ground and saw he was making a run for it, and without hesitation, I ran after him, in hot pursuit, our feet ran out of the hotel and on the streets, "stop? I called out to him, rather he increased his speed and so did I.
Darren was left at the hotel, donning a startled look on his face, he still couldn't phantom what just happened.
Thereafter, I kept on running after him, thus, it seems luck was on my side and he tripped and fell on the ground, which gave the name the opportunity as I got a hold of him.
"Who sent you?" I demanded an explanation, the strange man in question, played the silent game with me, and while trying to scoop out the truth from him, I was knocked out unconscious, by someone behind.
(Inaudible conversation)
A few hours later, I got up holding a hand on my head, urgh!! My eyes loomed around to infer I was back at the hotel, that would mean someone took me without my knowledge? But who?".
I spoke to myself that's when the doors to my room, pushed open by Darren, he says, "oh my goodness, you're finally awake? How are you feeling? What happened exactly?  He concedes with a lot of questions, that I had no answers to, if only I saw how the masked man was and why he tried to kill Darren, the missing piece of the puzzle would be fixed.
So I answered back, disappointed by what happened" I don't know, Darren!! But we have got to know, who the masked man was? 
After a few hours, Darren left without saying anything, hopefully, he gets the idea and goes to report the incident at the police station.
I stayed in the room, still having an after effect of the knock, I had an hour ago.
"Room service".
A masculine voice yelled outside, I opened up and saw he had some cleaning tools with him, "hello ma'am, I am here to clean the room" he lets out and gained access to my room after being invited in.
I walked into the restroom and left him to clean and it hasn't been a long while he came in here, he airs out and I quote, "you can come In ma'am!!" And leaves the room.
I scanned everywhere and I don't know if it was me but, I felt something wrong? It was either the young man, came in to do something else other than his work.
I searched everywhere and after finding out that nothing was wrong out of the ordinary, a relief tone buffed right out of me indeed I will be getting worked up without any reasons to be.
I have seriously need to get a rest before I lose my flipping mind.
