A Living Hell

Azalea was still sleeping in their penthouse and Jack is watching her. She was brought there when they apprehended his abductor while driving her away from the Shin Hotel. She was still unconscious when they found her. He feels a great pity for his wife knowing she was once again put in danger because of him.

"Don't worry she'll be alright". Romina tried to ease her son's worries. She can see he is suffering and blaming himself.

"I'm wondering what will going to happen in our wedding day". Jack patted his sleeping wife's head. "I feel like I want to regret asking for it". He sigh deeply.

"You promise her a wedding you should keep it no matter what". Though she feels sorry for her son's situation he already gave her his words. As a Shin their words are very important. But as a mother she feels sorry for him and wants to take those blames to herself. He is her weakness but she can't let him see it. For now she needs to be strong, the one he can rely on.

"I don't want to put her life in danger again because of the lunatics who wants to take revenge on me". His eyes were fixed to his wife's beautiful face. "All I want is for her to be safe".

"If safe means out of harm, we can prevent those things to happen. But if the safe you are talking about is letting her go.... Do you think she will allow you to leave her or can you leave her?". Romina saw an option like that but she put it last on her list and her list of making her daughter-in-law safe is to a thousand. But her son seems like he already put it on his top ten list. She was worried by the thought.

Jack didn't say a word because he knows even him won't allow himself to be parted to the love of his life. He can't answer his mother's question.

"Think about it son, leaving her won't guarantee her safety. I'd rather choose for you to stay and be her shield than left her out in the open to be slayed by anyone". She tap Jack's back shoulder. She can only give him her honest opinion but the final decision is in his hands.

Romina head straight to the door to leave but she remembered something and turned back around. "By the way..... I'm still organizing the wedding. You don't have to think about anything. Leave all your trust to me". She left after saying what's on her mind.

Jack just shook his head. He implied to cancel their wedding but his mother keeps on pushing it. He decided to let her do what she think is right. For now all of his attention belongs to his wife.

Azalea was having a bad dream. She dreamed of being taken forcefully away from her husband. She can see Jack running towards her and she saw how he stumbled and fall but keeps on picking himself up and run again to catch up with her. She knows he was calling her name but she can't hear his voice. She looked at her arms and saw a man's hands holding her tightly and not letting her go. She can't see his face but she feels she knows him. She tried to free herself and when he let her go she saw Jack was stab by the man. She screamed so loud calling her husband's name and when she felt someone grabs her she tried to punch him.

"Azalea stop!... Wake up!".

Azalea is trying to punch the man who's holding her. She doesn't care if his stronger and looks bigger. She will avenge her husband no matter what.

Jack is catching every punch his wife is throwing at him. He knows she is still half asleep and have no idea what she was doing. He grabs her whole and imprisoned her in between his arms and body. It took her a minute till she settled down. She was inhaling his scent.

"Jack?".

"Yes my love.... It's me". He released her slowly and saw her beautiful eyes staring at him. It was full of tears.

"Don't leave me please!... Don't leave me!". Azalea was crying her heart out, she is getting hysterical. Her dream was vividly clear and felt it was all real. She hugs him very tight that she don't want to let him go.

"My love, stop crying. I won't leave I promise". He don't understand what's happening to her. Maybe she had a very bad dream he thought.

Azalea can't stop crying. She remembered her dream back when she was young. She dreamt of her mother, leaving. And that dream came true.

"Azalea calm down and listen to me". Jack is almost in panic. He wants to calm her down. He tried to make her look at his eyes. "I will never leave you no matter what happens. Because I know if I do that I will die. You know why?". He paused and wipe her tears. And he looked at her eyes deeply. "Because you are my life. You're the air that I breathe. My reason to wake up and the only happiness I have. I maybe have billions of dollars but there's only one you. I can have all the material things I want from this world but I can never have another you ". Everything that he says came from his heart and he knows his wife understands what he says to her.

Azalea was still sobbing like a cute little girl and her husband kissed the tip of her nose. He kissed her forehead and hug her tightly. He loves to give her the kissed of respect.

"I love you more than my life. If you leave me I will lose my reason for living. Please promise me you won't ever leave". She squeeze herself in Jack's body and she feels how he tighten his grip.

"I promise I won't leave you. Even if you don't want me to stay anymore. I will never leave". He tried to lighten the mood. He don't like it whenever she cry. Specially when it's all because of him.

"That will never going to happen".

Jack asked his wife all the things she remembered on the time of her abduction and she told him the whole story.

Reese asked her if she can talk to her and she agreed. She thought she will apologize to what she did before but to her surprised a man came behind her and put a piece of cloth to her mouth and nose and the scent almost paralyzed her. She tried to fight back but Reese holds her hands and after that she only see darkness.

Jack is trying to calm himself while listening to his wife's story. Everything was planned to ruin their relationship. Good thing that his mother is well prepared and found out all her plan against them. He decided before to not use all the information Corbin dug out from her because he knows it will put her in life imprisonment but now he changed his mind. He thought she will never be back after she found out that he is already married and when he cut ties to her and her family. He never thought she will be back with a vengeance. But he will never let her slide. She tried to hurt his wife he will make her life in prison a living hell for her and her lover.
