Onika's POV......

"Maria, I am not really sure about it, I have never ever been away from Alex for a whole day..and I will just be worried sick about him, and who knows better than you, he can be one handful thing at times."

"Mumma, plewse I want toh go" Alex whined and stomped his foot on the floor, an adorable pout forming its way on his face, and I glared at him giving him my angry mumma look to call the bullshit. In turn he curled his lower lip outwards in defiance.

Jesus, he is going to be the death of me.

"Madam, I promise he will be fine, I will bring him back before eight and put him to bed, my niece will be really very happy to have young master's company on her birthday."

Both of them gave me a pleading look. I huffed and threw my hand in air accepting defeat. When Maria and Alex team up together they can be a lethal team, anyways I think Alex needs to get more exposure and be around children of his own age.

"Ok, ok you win, but promise to behave and don't give aunt Maria a hard time, be a good boy. Will you?"

"Pinky promise mumma" Alex said cheerfully. With that both of them went out happily.

I sighed, after yesterday's ordeal I planned on spending some quality time with Alex, he is the only one who can bring me back to sanity. Seems like not going to happen.

There was a knock on the door after a short while. Must be Agustin, I thought.

Not now please, I don't want another fight this early in the morning.

"I am not in a mood to talk right now, please go away." I said.

"You sure about that?" Came an amused voice....Jacob's voice?!

Jacob! How?!

I immediately ran to open the door, not believing my ears, to see Jacob standing in front of me with a lopsided smile gracing his lips.

My eyes widened in shock. "Are you not going to call me in?" he asked, breaking my reverie.

"I thought you weren't allowed here." I interrogated, my brows frowning in suspicion.

He scoffed at that "I have my ways." he said beaming at me.

What ways I wonder, maybe things are getting better between him and Agustin. I desperately prayed.

"Anyways come in." I said instead and motioned towards the couch.

"So, tell me what brings you here?" I asked.

"Just wanted to make sure you were okay." He said looking at me intently.

I just started at him for two beats, never had anyone one cared about me so much that the first thing they do in the morning is make sure I am okay.

I tried to speak but nothing came out, my throat was completely clogged with an overwhelming feeling. I cleared my throat and somehow found my voice to say,

"I am fine, Jacob, thank you...but you don't need to worry so much about me..." He cut me off harshly.

"Don't need to worry about you?!" he shouted, in a way that made me feel as if I have committed a big crime by suggesting that, completely taking me off guards.

He continued aggressively, his voice raising by several octaves, "I couldn't sleep for the whole night after seeing you like that yesterday, your tear streaked face just keeps haunting me, flashing infront of me every time I close my eyes..."His breathing was ragged by now. It was then I noticed his eyes were red with bags under it.

"Do you have any idea how much.." he stopped abruptly as if realising all of a sudden what he was about to say.

He clutched his hair roughly in frustration, closing his eyes he took few deep breaths to calm himself.

My heart was beating in my throat by now, I have never seen Jacob loosing his control like this. Never. And some great self control he has.

He finally looked at me after composing himself, "I am so sorry, I shouldn't have shouted at you like that.." he said with guilt evident in his voice.

"It-its okay." I said carefully giving him a weak smile.

"No, it's not, the last thing you need right now, for that matter at anytime is someone shouting at you, and when someone does that, you need to realise that is not okay, because no one has got the right to treat you like that. No one." He said firmly, looking directly into my eyes.

You are not no one, Jacob, I wanted to say, but bit my tongue.

My eyes met his and no words were spoken for the next few seconds. It was just the two of us staring at each other.

I could feel the air around us thicken by an inch.

I realised something at that moment, I was craving for his carefree smile to grace his lips again.

"If you are really that sorry, you can do few sit ups to redeem yourself." I suggested and wiggled my eyebrows playfully.

That did it. A wolfish smile broke on his tightly set lips....finally.

"I got you message young lady....I take it I am forgiven, so I will pass." he said grinning at me like a child.

"So, what is your plan for today." He asked, changing the topic.

I sighed heavily, " actually, I was planning on spending some time with Alex, but today is Maria's niece's birthday and she invited him over and I just couldn't say no."

"Oh..okay..so.." he cleared his throat two three times before continuing further as if nervous about something.

"I was wondering..if you..umm...wanna go out with me....for a change.. maybe you will feel better..." He trailed off, as if not knowing how to put words together to make meaningful sentences.

"You want to take me out at ten in the morning?" I asked raising an eyebrow incredulously.

"Actually I want to take you out for the whole day," he said scratching the back of his neck nervously.

I bit back a smile at that. Before I could say I would be more than happy to, he spoke first.

"You don't need to worry about Agustin, if it's a yes, I will talk to Agustin about it."

"I don't give a rat's ass about Agustin, he ain't my father and I am fully capable of talking to him myself." I spat angrily at his outrageous assumption that I am afraid of Agustin.

"Okay, okay...calm down...you can have the honour.." he said with heavy sarcasm. "But in case you need me just remember I am sitting just across the room."

I nodded my head and stood up, as I was heading out I heard Jacob talking to someone on the phone.

"Martin, make the arrangements."

I knocked at Agustin's room. "Come in." Came his husky voice.

"Onika?" His eyes widened as it fell on me.

"Agustin, I am here to inform you that I am going out with Jacob." I said with a stone face and robotic voice.

He looked at me as if he had just seen a ghost.

"Sorry what?"

"You heard me perfectly." I raised my eyebrows at him daring him to say no.

He gave me a tight nod, if you aren't looking very, very carefully you may miss that small movement, as if his neck muscles have gone rigid all of a sudden.

"When will you be back?" He asked, his hands clenched tightly, waiting for my answer.

"Before eleven, I guess" He sighed in relief. "....at night " I added.

"What! No you can't do that?!"

"And why can't I do that." I asked, narrowing my eyes to slits.

He just opened and closed his mouth like a fish but nothing came out.

Gotcha.

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he blurted out, "Alex! You can't leave Alex like this, he will ask for you."

Uh-ha, Nice try.

I gave him an evil smile and said,"Alex has gone to Maria's house on her niece's birthday."

~~~~

When the car first stopped at its destination, I thought there has been some short of mistake, but then Jacob opened the door and motioned me to come out.

Standing before me was a private jet.

I eyed the jet warily and then back to Jacob.

"Are you kidnapping me?!" I said, jokingly.

"As tempting as it sounds, but no, I have other plans."

"And what would that be?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out." He said and winked at me.

**********

Agustin's pov......

It's five hours since she is gone and she isn't FREAKING back!

Well, she has gone for the whole day, if you remember." My subconscious mocked at me.

I ranked my hair in frustration. This is driving me crazy.

If I don't distract myself I will go insane. I desperately need to distract my self, as I said that my eyes fell on Onika's file.

At that moment I realise something, the only thing that can distract me from Onika is...well Onika herself.

Desperate time desperate measures, I said and grabbed her file.

............................................

# Day 26.

I remember how you used to make me sleep on the cold floor, hungry for so long I can't even remember when I had my last meal, it reminded me of my days in forester home after the death of my parents that is how it was most of the time. When I was fifteen, I promised myself once I get a hold of my life, once I become independent, I will never let myself be in such situation....ever.

I hate it that I let you do that to me, that I let you break the promise I made to myself.

............................................

#Day 27.

I wish I could device a way to show you how much you have hurt me, screw how vulnerable it makes me, I still want to make you understand what you have made me go through, I want you to feel every single pain I have been through....I never thought that I would ever want someone to go through what I have been through, but I want you to feel every single pain I have ever experienced....I want you destroyed like me, to have nightmares that won't let you sleep.

I want to hurt you the way you hurt me.

Oh god I am becoming a sadist like you, I fucking need to stop.

............................................

#Day 28.

What is love?

Love, the word sounds so foreign to my ears now.

How can you be sure that you love someone or that someone loves you?

What is the formula to measure it?

Is it something that you can constantly fall in and out of?

Or is it something more permanent?

May be it's just a myth. Yes, this is what I have concluded.

But wait a minute.

Good lord, I can't let you govern my thinking process like this, because the one thing that I am sure about is, I don't need to come up with the definition of love taking you as a reference.

If something like love do exists, you are the farthest thing from it.

............................................

# Day 29.

Why couldn't you love me back the way I did?

Am I that unlovable...is there some problem with me?

Even if it is so, you should have said that, we could have worked on it.

How easily you have destroyed lives like it's nothing, how can you even live with yourself.

............................................

No, no, no please, no.

I am so sorry to make you feel like this, to make you feel so small when all the fault lies in me.

The one thing that got stuck in my head was the word 'destroyed lives'

She didn't know at that time that Jacob loved her, then what does she mean by it.

Something is just isn't falling in place.

I took out my phone and punched Kane's number.

"Kane I want you to find out what happened on the night Onika escaped, I want each and every minute details, don't miss out any thing. It's time to interrogate John Cadalo."
