Honeymoon, Brewing Trouble

On this particular sunny afternoon Emily and Mia decided to hang out together to have fun and get along as planned previously.

To spend the day shopping and then have a nice dinner together. They were both dressed in their favorite outfits, excited for the day ahead.

As they walked through the mall, they window shopped and giggled about the latest fashion trends. They stopped at various stores, trying on clothes, shoes, and accessories. After spending a couple of hours shopping, they decided to take a break and grab a bite to eat.

They found a cozy restaurant and were seated at a table by the window. The waiter took their orders, and they chatted about their day while they waited for their food to arrive. The food smelled amazing, and they couldn't wait to dig in.u

As they ate, they noticed that their food tasted different than usual. It was a little too salty, and they felt a bit strange. They tried to ignore it, thinking it might just be a bad batch of seasoning. But soon, they started to feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Before they knew it, they blacked out.

By the time they regained consciousness, they were already in the back of a van, bound and gagged.

They looked around shocked and confused before realizing what had happened. Looking over at the front seat to see who had kidnapped them and what way they were heading.

"Hello beauties". Eddie removed her sunglasses smiling widely at the two shocked ladies. She had a sinister smile on her face as she looked at them through the rearview mirror.

"Eddie". Mia gasped surprised. "What is the meaning of this attitude, what are you up to ?".

"Aye, curiosity kills the cat so be quiet and I might actually spare you after playing around". She grinned from the front seat.

" Have you gone crazy, let us out right now this very moment". Mia yelled kicking her foot against the car.

" Why should I, you're the sole cause of my problems. It's always you, why ?". Eddie yelled back in response.

" Why do they all choose you over me, why can you be happy and I can't, why can you have a perfect husband but I can't ?". Eddie slammed her hands on the steering agitatedly and she seemed to have lost her mind as the car sped into the highway with total abandon.

"Stop this damn craziness right now, Eddie . ."

The duo yelled but Eddie was oblivious to their cries and continue tearing down the highway crazily. The way she drive left them terrified and confused and slowly panic began to set in.

Panic set in as they tried to free themselves from the ropes that bound them , an action which seem next to impossible.

All they could do was sit there, helpless, and hope that someone would find them before it was too late.

Suddenly, there was a loud thud from the front of the van. The car had crashed into another vehicle while trying to make a sharp turn.

The impact caused the van to jolt throwing the duo to the side of the car roughly and Mia phone slid into the car from her clutch.

Reaching for the phone she immediately dailed Lucian's contact, she almost forgot she had her phone with her.

Before she could say a word, the car crashed into a signpost jolting the phone away from her far away from her reach.

Meanwhile, Lucian who was on the way home after a hectic day received the emergency call . Worried about the screams he heared from the other side of the line, he immediately turned on his GPS trying to track her location.

Tracking the location, he arrived at an uncompleted warehouse downtown. Just as he arrived another car also pulled to a stop beside him and the occupant stepped out apparently as worried as him.

"Levii". He could still remember the man who created quite a scene at his late parents anniversary.

"Mr Henderson". He nodded in acknowledgement and the duo both stormed in without any hesitation even though Lucian was still confused about Levii's appearance.

Marching in, they could hear the loud scream and yell which prompted them to run in.

There was Eddie standing victoriously over Emily and Mia who were tied to a chair.

"Let them go". The duo snarled I'm unison.

"You're here to foil my plan I see, what if I don't let them go". She cackled.

"Then don't blame me for being rude then". Levii replied.

" I have so many issues yet to be settled with you and yet you dare to do this ". Lucian warned , his eyes flashing a dangerous glint.

Emily and Mia's eyes brighten in relief as they saw their prince charming who had come to the rescue and they could finally breathe in relief.

" You". Eddie called back at the two men marching towards the duo . "Just let them be if you cherish your life, you can't save them or you'll both die instead".

Eddie paused for a while to laugh before continuing. " Beneath the chair they're tied to is a cracked surface, any fragile action might trigger the surface and it'll collapse rushing you couple down from the highest floor".

"Pathetic". Mia yelled after checking beneath the chair, the surface was indeed cracked.

"Hehehe, I know I am ". Eddie grinned in return and turned to the two unfazed men. "Just come with me".

"You wish". The duo snorted and walked towards the chair carefully surprising Eddie.

Carefully they untied the rope and descended towards safety , towards the shocked and suddenly sad Eddie.

The surface did collapse but they were already at a safe zone away from the rustling sounds and dust of the collapsing wall.

Eddie looked at them surprised. All her life she wanted nothing more than this, unwavering affection, unconditional care and affection which nothing can break through not even the fear of death but what did she get in return.

She did every single thing for Leonard, so many stupid and reckless action. She loved him with total abandon but his socalled affection for her can't help but waver just to earn a position.

Shaken to tears , Eddie turned forth and ran out of the warehouse in tears.

"Stop right there". Lucian yelled ready to chase after her but was stopped by Mia who nodded affirmatively to let her go.

"If you've known what she's done, I bet you won't still dote on her like this". Lucian frowned.

Mia was about to respond but was distracted by Levii's angry voice.

"You sure have a thing for running away and thank goodness I was checking on your movement all the time". He yelled exsparatedly at Emily who seems less concerned.

" Excuse me". Lucian frowned and pulled Emily towards himself beside Mia .

" I'd like to ask and clarify , what are your intentions towards my sister here ?". Lucian asked and Emily's eyes snapped foward anxious to hear his answer.

"Who else would make me spy after her all day , of course she's my woman". Levii replied with no hesitation and a smile crossed Emily features.

"Then what about Miss Louise?".

"She's my fiancé but only in name". Levii replied. "And why are you asking.

" That's kind of complicated, I won't let my sister become someone's second choice or option. Be clearheaded enough to make a choice, you can't be paddling two boats at the same time".

" You, what's your problem ". Levii frowned. " What are you intruding in my affairs".

" Come get her when you're clean enough to be worthy of her". Lucian replied with a tone of finality. Grasping the two ladies arms, he walked outside.

--------------------

In the comfort of the king sized matrimonial bed , the couple were laid in each other's embrace content and comforted.

"This afternoon I said something about Eddie". Lucian began cautiously, tenderly stroking her locks.

"Yes". Mia answered.

"It's concerning father's death, actually the perpetrator . . Is Eddie".

The room went silent for a moment before being tainted by Mia's sigh.

"Actually I know or perhaps I was still lying to myself hoping it'll be my illusion but now I'm really sad ".

"How could she bear to do this, this is . ."

"It's okay, don't cry. I'm here for you". He patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"Will you always be there for me, you won't one day become a monster like Leonard. You won't cut all formalities because of a mere materialistic . ."

" I would never". He cut through her speech, his slender fingers on her lips.

" I really hope so ". She sighed.

" Then what do you plan to do about Eddie ?".

" What can I do, she was misled, she's delusional and right now I want to help her get rid of the hatred in her mind. Now that she realizes her mistake, I only want her to lead a better life".

" You really are too considerate about her and you dote on her too much". Lucian smiled. " If only I had a sister like you".

" Of course you do, all you have to do is call big aunt". She placed her fingers on his lips before gently kissing his lips.

Lucian felt like he was electrocuted and took quite a while to respond but when he did he reciprocated with equal passionate vigor, his strong arm wrapped around her waist.

"Shall we begin our honeymoon". He asked , his voice hoarse with emotions spiralling out at any moment.

Mia nodded affirmatively and within seconds, their clothes were strewn haphazardly on the floor as they feasted on each other passionately.
