“Hostages? Was I abducted?” Bianca questioned as she stopped applying medicines to the man's injuries.

The man nods his head in approval “Yes.”

Bianca nods in disbelief.

“Did he do this to you?” Bianca asked, looking at the bruises and black spots on the man's pale white face. She lets go of the first aid box with fright as flashes of David fiddle in her head. A tear trickled on her chin, she quickly wiped it off. Bianca is trying her best to let go of those hurtful memories she once had, she wishes to be healed so she can be strong to conquer that devil in human skin called David.

The man stood up, walked to the door

“My daughter! What if that monster tries to hurt my daughter?” the man panicked.

Bianca was reminded of her aborted babies, a cloud of guilt floated above her as she sat in a corner. A storm of sorrows swept her thoughts away to her past.

The man tried opening the door but it was locked outside. Continuous twitching of the door knob snapped Bianca back to life.

“It's of no use. We have to think of a plan to get you and your daughter out of here, I don't wish you experience the guilt I faced throughout my teenage age.” Bianca said which made the man pause, he nods in approval as he sat back, ticking his fingers on the wheelchair.

Bianca started pacing back and forth, thinking hard, trying to recollect how she got into Henry's prison.

“I remember clearly I was saved from that burning car by a male, that man,” Bianca uttered as flashes of that memory replayed in her head.

Bianca doubts it could be Henry who saved her because he is all she sees.

“You must be out of your senses, that man is a beast in human form. He murdered his family members to get to this rank he is in.”

“But he saved me from the burning car, that night. He is my hero. Henry Hart” Bianca blushes as she curls a strand of her hair on her fingers. Bianca is unable to recollect the man that saved her yet she's putting the credit to Henry.

“Young lady, you need to come back to your senses. If you don't believe me, why don't you continue to pretend that you are still in a coma? ” he uttered.

Bianca widened her eyes as the crazy question sounded like an awesome idea to her.

“Exactly! That's the plan.”

The man furrowed his brows, nodding negatively at Bianca.

“All I want is a way to get the hell out of this fucking prison, even if I'm unable to do that alive I wish to do that for my daughter.” The man cries, and he grabs Bianca's arms.

“Please, help me.”

The sound of the step of someone walking from a distance echoed in their ears, the footsteps became clearer every second that passed by.

“Hmm…” The man mumbles to Bianca, signaling to her. The door flung open, Henry appeared behind the door with a tray in his arms filled with covered dishes.

“Can you make her conscious or not?” Henry asked as he slammed the tray on a stool. Henry looked away from Bianca who was lying on the bed with her eyes shut.

“She will be…” The man pursed his lips as he opened the dishes.

“Don't feel too comfortable around me, Mister. There are only nineteen hours left for your death sentence.” Henry said as he dragged the man to a spot.

“Can I go meet my daughter now? I've given her the medications necessary.” The man said slowly like a snail.

Henry turned his head around, facing the man. “No!“ He exclaimed.

The man blushed as he noticed Bianca raise out her tongue, opening an eye.

“What are you smiling at?” Henry asked, squinting his eyebrows. He pursed his lips as he noticed Henry's gaze.

“Guy!” Henry yelped.

A huge man barged in.

“Get this thing to his room, he's making me mad” Henry ordered as he crouched on the bed, placing clasping his hands on his head.

The huge man carried him to his daughter.

“Why would she not pay on time? I did as she asked, what will it take from her to pay me on time?” Henry asked himself as he furrowed his brows in anger.

Later on, a bright smile appeared on Henry's face as he noticed a credit alert from Alice.

He faced Bianca with a smile, he got startled as Bianca opened her eyes at once.

“Geez, you startled me.” Henry chuckled as he looks into her effervescent Campagne brown eyes, he continuously moves his face closer to hers. Bianca's heart pounds as Henry's handsome face was just two centimeters away from hers, she twitches her finger as she gazes at Henry's pursed lips moving closer to hers.

Henry shut his eyes as the bridge of his nose touched her face. Bianca's eyes were wide open, she stayed still as her heart skipped. She felt like time paused for her just to have an amazing moment. Everything was so slow to her.

“Will he just kiss me, already?” Bianca muttered to herself with her wide-spread lips.

Henry blinked his eyes as he blew air out of his mouth, blowing away a small piece of wool off her lips.

Henry sat upright on the bed, staying back.

“It's gone already,” Henry whispered.

“Seriously, he made my heart skip just to move a thing off my lips, he could have just used his fingers to pick it off. Why giving my heart an attack for no reason?” Bianca grunts in her mind as she shut her eyes.

Henry touched her arm, sliding his arms behind her waist as he made her sit upright.

“Hmm..” Henry groaned as he let go of her.

He grabbed the dish he covered on the stool, pushing it towards Bianca's face.

Henry opened the dish, Bianca was disgusted as she sensed cereals. Henry dug in a spoon, pointing a spoonful of cereal toward Bianca's mouth.

“I made this with all might,” Henry grumbled. Bianca slightly opened her mouth, letting the spoonful of cereals in her mouth. She opened her eyes gazing at a spot as the cereal tasted different in her mouth.

“So romantic! The cereal tasted great even when he fed me with his magic fingers.” A blush appeared on Bianca's face.

“Uh?” Henry furrowed his brows as he let go of Bianca.

“Help! Daddy!!” A cracked voice scream was so audible as she opened the door. Bianca let go of the doorknob, letting her wide-opened mouth make a wild scream.

“What?” Bianca shoves her trembling hands in her widened mouth. With her sight fixed on the floor where the old man lay, her heartbeat was paused she didn't even notice his crying daughter.

“Oh my God!” Bianca takes a deep breath in.

Blinking twice as she doubts her gazes. Her feet pushed her towards the lifeless man on the ground.

“Stay away from my daddy.” The little girl cries, wrapping her arms around her dead father.

“I'm not here to hurt you, I'm also a hostage here trying to help your father,” Bianca mumbles hiding the tears about drop out of her shocked brown eyes.

Bianca bends her knee, lowering herself to the ground, she screams as she confirms he was shot in the forehead. Bianca cautioned herself, shoving both hands in her mouth, she made a deep sigh nodding her head negatively in pity.

Bianca's trembling palm touches the man's forehead sliding to the eyes, helping the dead man shut his eyes.

The young girl cries louder as she noticed Bianca's facial expression indicating that the poor man is dead already.

“Who did this to your dad?” Bianca questions as she faces his daughter. His trembling daughter points her finger at the opened door Bianca passed through earlier.

“He killed my dad, he did.”

Bianca turns around to the door, she creased her brows in suspicion because no one was there.

“It's fine, young lady. Crying and screaming won't bring your dead dad back to life.“ Bianca sniffles as she pats the little girl's back.

“Daddy!” The young girl cried more.

Bianca knew it will be more difficult for the little girl to get home back without her father.

“Do you perhaps have another family member apart from your father?” Bianca questioned as she held up the girl.

“My brother!” The girl exclaimed looking at the opened door. She ran towards the door, stretching her arms in the air.

“Brother, please tell me my dad isn't dead.” The young girl hugs the man's legs. The man pointed a gun at Bianca.

“You are one of David's men right? Answer before I shoot your bullshit!” He rasped with tears in his eyes. He jerked away when he noticed a car honk resounding before the mansion.

“Let's go!” He grabbed his little sister as he ran out of the mansion through the kitchen window.

Tears rolled down her cheeks. I stood still.

“No! Henry can't! He can't murder an innocent man.” Bianca strokes out of the room to the kitchen window to watch them as they escape. Bianca slumps her shoulder She was so depressed about thinking of escaping.

“No one came for me, everyone wants me dead but not Henry…” Bianca thought as a smile crept on her red face.

She grabbed a cup of water to gulp down her sadness in her. She sat in a place worrying about her life. Will she forever stay in Henry's captive?

Henry barged into his home with an angry look, he anticipated what happened already seeing all doors in the mansion unlocked.

He crouched at a spot

“I lost all my men in a fight! Now Oscar is after me.” Henry whimpered as he bit his finger.

“I won't give up so soon,” Henry uttered as he strode to his hostage's room, he jerked when he sighted a dead body on the ground.

“Who did this?“ Henry asks himself as he checks the man. He hurriedly rushed to Bianca's room with his heart banging.

“They escaped?” He asked himself, placing both hands on his head. “ Damn it! I just lost everything to Oscar, what's wrong with me? Why can't I just defeat this scumbag called Oscar“ Henry rasped, clenching his fist on the pillow.

He ran out of the rooms with several well-loaded guns in a big bag he crossed on his shoulder.

*bang

A noise from the kitchen made him pause. He was frightened so he grabbed his gun moving into the kitchen.

“Put your hands behind your head.“ Henry commands.

The gun fell off his hands as he sighted Bianca crying at a spot. Bianca was just about to take another gulp of water when she sights Henry peeking at her from a corner. She ran towards him, pulling her arms in the air as she embraces Henry. Henry gasps for air with her head on his thumping chest, she smiles, cuddling him.

“I would rather die in your arms than in David's” Bianca confessed, smiling with tears streaming out of her eyes.

Henry disengaged from the hug.

“You are now out of a coma” Henry gasps looking into her eyes. A smirk appeared at the corner of his face. “Thank goodness I didn't lose my last fortune.“

“Come have water first… Henry…” she took a deep breath out holding his arms. Henry jerked his hand away from her.

“I have a confession to make.” Bianca sniffles, wiping the mucus on her lips with her sleeves.

Henry creased his brows, he was a bit uncomfortable at Bianca's approach towards him but it seems he was so lucky to get his bait fond of him already. Henry giggled.

Bianca walks towards the glass cup she left behind, she grabs it to fetch more water. Suddenly, a figure appeared out of the curtains, staying before her.

Bianca screams as flashes of that man's face replayed in her head, she recollects seeing him shooting at her and Helen from a moving black car.

Besides, where's Helen? Is she alive? Or dead? No one knows!

Bianca became dizzy as she tries to recollect how she got involved in that terrible accident.

“Oscar?” Henry mouths in shock.

Oscar grins as he grabbed Bianca who was blinking her eyes continuously at him. Oscar pulled her towards him, crossing his left hand on her neck region, above her shoulder as he places a knife on Bianca's neck.

“Uh?” Bianca's heart bounced, she was thrown into a disarrayed state as she stood still, with her worried eyes fixed on Henry.

“You came for me, face me why put this poor lady in…” Henry stuttered, baffled at Oscar's action.

“Why dragging this? I have just three words for you. Give me what's mine.“ Oscar ordered, interrupting Henry's statement.

“But…” Henry paused as he was about to take a step closer, Oscar made the knife closer to Bianca's neck.

“Henry, don't think about me. Save yourself, please.” Bianca pleads, with her curled lips. She became terrified as Oscar's grasp on her chest region became tighter.

“I'm not with the property documents, right now!” Henry whimpered, raising both arms in the air.

Oscar made a short loud laugh

“You do joke with death, don't you?” Oscar kicks some documents toward Henry.

“Here, sign.”

“Henry, think twice before you make a decision.” Bianca's voice trembles. She was so close to ending that she couldn't breathe properly.

“Will you shut up?” Oscar yells banging his fist on her head. Bianca winced letting go of some tears.

“Don't hurt her, I would do as you say,” Henry muttered as he grabbed the documents and input his signature into them.

“Keeping my bait, Bianca alive for long worth more fortunes than all I ever had. Her existence is worth trillions.” Henry chuckles within as he faked a frown.

The document contains the transfer of ownership of all the companies and money Mr. Chu offered Henry to Oscar within three days.

Oscar grins as Henry tossed the paper towards him. “Good to find your weakness! I never knew you would fall in love with a hostage.” Oscar exclaimed as he examined the documents on the floor.

“Watch your tongue, Oscar,” Henry yelled. Bianca made a sigh of relief as she was tossed towards Henry. Henry pulls his arms in the air as he rashly gets hold of Bianca, they were almost in a hug.

Bianca blushed as she slid a strand of her hair behind her ear. “He does love me more than I think.“ Bianca kept her gaze on Henry's black shoes, avoiding eye contact with him.

“Hmm… Does she think I love her? She's not to be blamed, what lady can't fall in love with a handsome guy like me.” Henry lets go of Bianca, he strode his fingers in his styled hair.

“Having the only daughter of the Williams in custody is worth a fortune. I'm so fortunate.“ Henry thoughts as he smirks at her, trying to have meaningful eye contact with her

“It was even easy than I thought. Now murdering you won't be something I would think twice about.” Oscar chuckles as he darts a knife at Henry. Henry dodged it, and Bianca bent down in fear as the knife flew in the air. Their eyes were fixed on the knife which pierced the wall.

“Missed me,” Henry said boastfully, facing Oscar.

“That was only a distraction,” Oscar said as he had a huge gun in his arms.

“I did all you want, just let us be,” Henry yelled.

“Must I always say I want you dead before you realize?” Oscar chuckles as he points his gun at Henry.

“Run away from here, Bianca. This is a matter I can handle easily” Henry uttered to Bianca who was solid as she bent on the ground.

“How do you mean to handle this situation? That murderer is with a gun! I won't leave without you, Henry.” Bianca quaked as she stood at her feet summoning all courage she ever exhibited.

“We are in this together,” Bianca demanded with her strange pale eyes darted at Oscar.

Henry took in a deep breath as he nods positively “Alright.“

Oscar made a partly suppressed laughter, he stares at them.

“What baffles me more is this lady you are sacrificing a lot for,” Oscar whispered nodding his head negatively.

“You don't understand what Bianca means to me. She's everything I have now.” Henry cooed.

“I guess I will clearly understand you both after your death. Any last prayer?” Oscar made maniacal laughter.

“So what's your plan?” Henry whispers to Bianca with a smile.

“We should die together to live our love life in heaven.” Bianca giggles holding his arms. Henry furrowed his eyebrows “What! Are you sane?“ Henry jerked his arm off her, moving backward.

Oscar hastily triggered a bullet as Henry pulled Bianca letting her out of the gunpoint.

“Why?“ Bianca asked as Henry pushed her below a table where he was.

“Ah ah ah… you can't hide forever, Henry!” Oscar said. Henry's heart beats as he sights Oscar's feet moving across them. Bianca used the opportunity to embrace Henry, she blushes as she could feel Henry's heart racing.

“He loves me!” Her heart sings.

A gun was pointed at them from behind out of a blue. Henry gasped as he felt a gun pointed at his neck region.

“Well… well… what do we have here? A mouse requesting the title of a boss? Ah ah… bye” Oscar chuckles.

“No!“ Bianca pushed the gun off Oscar's arms with her hand. Oscar's heart hops as he sees his gun tossed to the ground. He bent down to pick it up. A girly hand suddenly grabs the gun from beneath the kitchen table.

“P…put down the gun!” Oscar stammers as she tightened her grip on the gun which was so heavy to carry.

“Mister, who's with the toy now? I'm the one in charge so lay down flat.” Bianca ordered.

Oscar trembles, letting out a chuckle

“Guys, you can't play the player himself.” Oscar places his arms behind his head as he was about to lie down flat.

“Good job, Bianca.” Henry compliments with a smile. Her heart skipped as her eyes met his gorgeous smile, it suddenly brightened her facial expression. She was drooling over his beauty as the gun slipped off her hand.

Luckily, Henry was able to grab it before Oscar took another move.

“You aren't the player, Oscar. You are only being played like a fool that you are.” Henry scoffs.

Bianca's eyes were fixed on Henry. She couldn't take a move or blink until Henry snapped his fingers.

“I need to go tear up the property documents I signed, earlier.” Henry requested as he took a step towards Oscar.

Multiple footsteps resound moving toward them.

“I know that sound,” Henry said surveying his surroundings.

“Ah…ah… my boys came at the right time” Oscar chuckled as he adjusted his black suit properly on his body.

“Oh no…what's next, Henry? We can take them all down, can we?” Bianca questioned.

“Run!“ Henry exclaimed as he hands the gun belt on his neck, inserting fingers with Bianca.

Bianca's heart hammers at his every touch.
