Kiara's POV:

*****4 Days later*****

Dean has been trying his hardest to convince me of his love the last four days. At the moment I'm not quite sure what to believe. My heart wants to believe him so badly, but my trust in people has been shredded to pieces in the last couple of months. Brad, Nora, my parents, Dean, they have all shredded it.

There's no doubt I miss and love him so much. We're going to be parents, but can I look past what happend with Nadine? He keeps on telling me there's a reason for all of this and I'm to trust him, then again, he doesn't give me a single clue on what's going on. Or what exactly happend between him and Nadine.

Apparently, it's too early to tell me anything about the whole thing going on. What does it mean when he says it was all fake? Did he still have sex with her? What did they do together? These and many more questions lingering on my mind he just doesn't answer.

He keeps on repeating the only thing that counts at the moment, is for me to know he loved me all along and never wanted to hurt me. But this isn't enough for me, I can't deal with the thought of him sleeping with her. Whether it was fake feelings or not.

Dean kisses me on my forehead a few times a day, as much as I want to feel his lips on mine. And I know he wants to kiss me properly but I can't do it with so much being unclear.

Besides I still need to deal with all the pain from my injuries. Even trying to endure as much as I can to prevent the babies being at too much risk from all the drugs they pump into me again and again, they still have to sedate me in between. Sometimes when I'm in too much pain and crying the heart rate of both babies go up too.

On Dean's face I can see how he's suffering with me.

When the doctors told me the whole extent of my injuries I was shocked, even more than that. It scares the shit out of me, I might never be able to use my legs again or will at least most likely keep some strong damages back. They've already come up with ordering a wheelchair for me, which was hard to deal with. Even once everything is fully healed I'll probably have to use it for at least a while. But I'm determined to fight and gain as much back as possible.

Whatever comes I know I can deal with it, like I've always dealt with things in life. It will just take me a while to wrap my mind around it all. Then there's the fact, that Dean is freaking out as he's sure this was an attack against me. He keeps on harassing the security guards.

Jeez I'm still on the ICU, what does he think is going to happen here? Any visitor wanting to attend the ward has to register with a nurse anyway. Seriously he's driving me nuts with his paranoid protocols everyone has to keep to. Yesterday one of the guards was sick and the new one had to go through a decent background check before being allowed to be here.

There are three guards outside my door 24/7.

"Don't you think three guards are a little much?", Dean looks up from his laptop shaking his head at me.

"Honey no, I'm not risking any shit to happen again. They had everything figured out, they knew exactly when and where to target you. If they could do it out there, I'm sure they could do it in here too. Especially since the media has gotten hold of which hospital you're in. I've not even figured out how they got hold of that information as I gave strict advice for no one to spill."

One thing I'm still able to do without any pain, is roll my eyes. "Even I can figure that one out. You're smart but so dumb at times."

"Well spill, as I'm obviously too dumb", he seems a little amused with my attitude.

I chuckle slightly, which causes pain to shoot through my body again and Dean to jump worried to my side. "Come on Dean, they just need to follow you. You come here every single day, they're always hot on your heels anyway. No way you're so oblivious to this."

"But I never use my own car, each day it's a different car that brings me. I make sure to keep it hard for them to track me down. Besides I never take the main entrance."

"Well I guess someone has still found a way. So what? Why are you so afraid?"

"Kiara, they tried to kill you, that's why. And you haven't seen all the pictures and videos from the accident. Please stop fighting me about this, this is so you to always fight me, but this time I'm not budging. As soon as you'll be brought to a normal ward, there will be even more security."

Yes, I know. I heard Dean talking outside the door yesterday and also heard how he's trying to clear the whole ward for my safety. There's me thinking I have trust issues and Dean seems to trust no one at the moment. Clear the whole ward, as if I was some royalty, serious?

I couldn't believe he was even going that far, to not go to work and stay here all during the day until what ever the problem is, is solved.

What's dead embarrassing is him feeding me as I'm not able to do anything. He won't let the nurses do anything. He washes me, brushes my teeth and seeing as I can't leave the bed yet, he uses some dry shampoo on my hair to at least do something. I can't wait to have my hair washed decently again.

Once I've had my lunch, Dean looks satisfied with the amount I managed to eat today. It makes me feel like a toddler not an adult woman.

"Right, now you go and get your lunch. I'm tired anyway and you need a break too."

Dean frowns. "You trying to get rid of me?"

"Yep, you're driving me insane", it's only half a lie he does drive me insane, but most of all I'm afraid he's neglecting things because of me. I would like to think out of love, but sometimes I think it's more out of guilt. However he definitely needs to eat decently.

"Ok, but I'll be back after lunch my Love, which doesn't mean you can't sleep when I'm here", he bends over to kiss my forehead, before helping me put the bed down into a lying position.

Shortly after I have dozed off I hear someone entering my room which wakes me up again. Dean has probably just forgotten something. But then I feel a prick in my neck, when I look up things are already getting blury. What the hell is happening here? They don't usually sedate me like this. With my blury vision I can only make out the outskirts of a blond female in front of me.

When my eyes close from heaviness I feel the bed moving and when the door opens I can still hear voices but I'm unable to react.

"Our boss hasn't informed us about any exams or her being moved from this room. We have to check this with him first."

"Well I'm sure your boss will be pleased to hear you killed her. Look at her she's already passed out, if you don't let me do my work now her death's on you", she says sternly. This voice somehow sounds in a weird way familiar but I can't put my finger on it. I try and gather all my strength to somehow say something, no chance. Instead I drift away further and further, until I fully black out.

Dean's POV:

Am I really driving her insane? Or was it just an excuse for her to make me go for a lunch without rushing back to her. Damn I know she thinks I'm totally over the top. Perhaps she does need to know the full story to fully understand.

On the other hand I don't want to freak her out even more in this situation. At first, I thought I'd tell her directly and Tyler has been pestering me about it a lot too. But then I went back to my original plan, sorting it all out before telling her.

She can be calmer if she knows there's nothing to fear anymore. Right now she's quite fearless even after having that crash, but once she knows the full extent of this she'll realize why I'm freaking out.

Poking my favourite pasta, I can't help but think about the time I took Kiara here. Something I need to do far more often in future. That's if she can forgive me. Everyday I'm battling with myself about answering her questions. But at this point it's too risky to tell her anything which has to do with Nadine.

On the other hand it's killing me, knowing this is the topic which is keeping her distant from me. No matter how much I try to show her my affection, tell her how much I love her, she's staying closed up. And I can't even blame her, I've been lying to her, I'm still keeping secrets and I've hurt her so badly. How is she supposed to trust or believe me?

She's in a safe place right now anyway, it's not like anyone can find out what I told her. I could ask her not to tell Sean when he visits and perhaps give her at least some of the answers she needs, like the fact that I haven't slept with Nadine. The only time I kissed her in between, was to make sure Kiara would see it on the hallway.

Something that bitch enjoyed far too much. I hated how she loved torturing Kiara like that and I guess all along she hoped in the end I would still decide for her. Kiara has had about an hour without me now, that has to be enough. I don't like the feeling of not being close to her in this situation. Reaching for my phone after paying, I realize I must have left it in the car.

Great it must have slipt out of my pocket as it's lying on the drivers seat. Picking it up to put it back in my pocket, I get a nauseous feeling seeing forty-eight missed calls within the last half hour. My heart races when I call my chief security guard.

"Mr Arlington, a doctor was here and took Ms Summers who had passed out. She said she needed surgery immediately."

"What's wrong with her? When did it happen?"

"That's the problem Sir, my team followed to the OR after a nurse came only minutes later. Ms Summers hasn't been taken to the OR. It's been about half an hour."

What the fuck? I speed through town thank god it's only around the corner. As soon as I reach the ICU I start yelling.

"How the fuck could this happen, you had strict instructions not to let anyone in or out of this room. And why the fuck didn't you guard her to the OR or call me. Fuck my phone, but nontheless you should have been with her." What the fuck did I hire these idiots for?

"We wanted to stop her, but she was a doctor and Ms Summers had totally passed out. She said if we wouldn't let her do her work, Ms Summers would die."

I can't believe they fell for this. "And you didn't find it suspicious there was a new doctor? How many fucking days have you been here?"

"She wasn't new, she's been around a lot. It's only the first time she entered Ms Summers room."

She has? Why haven't I seen her yet? I've been here all the time and she was here, she was checking things out right in front of our god damn nose and no one noticed. Taking out my phone I start searching for a picture to show the guards.

"Is this the woman you saw?"

"Yes that's her."

"Fuck", I curse from the top of my lungs. I can't believe this is happening. This sick woman is taking everything from me. How can someone be so obsessed about something? Why the hell did I leave in the first place? I feel like breaking down but there's no time for it. Even if I have no idea how to keep going, I just do.

"Have you checked the surveillance camera?"

"We didn't get any access due to data protection, but we've checked nearly every floor. I still have a team of fifteen people who came to help, they are roaming around looking for them."

"I don't give a fuck about data protection, we're getting full access now." I take my chief guard with me and head to the hospitals head office.

"Dr Larson you've already heard about the issue. I don't give a fuck about data protection and I'm sure not wasting the time. Ms Summers is already missing over forty-five minutes, she was abducted from your hospital and I can assure you her life is in high danger. It's the same person who caused this crash. So if you don't let me access these cameras right now, I assure you, you'll never get a job in your life again, because I'm going to make sure of that."

Dr Larson gulps, gives a quick call and guides us to where we have to go. The perks of being rich, having connections and power.

We start with the camera on the ward, followed by the camera in the elevator. She leaves it on ground floor, we lose track of her there as there's a blindspot. So we search all the cameras close by within the next time slot.

"Wait I got her", I point at one screen. It's the outside camera showing how Kiara is being pushed into an ambulance. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!", my fist smashes down on the table causing everyone to jump.

She could be anywhere by now. The time on the camera shows me, this was twenty-eight minutes ago.

I give my dad a call, inform him about everything, he will call the police for the legal way and next I give Tyler a call.

"Hey mate I need your help like right now", my voice is stronger than I feel.

"What's happend?"

"That sick bitch has gotten hold of Kiara, she abducted her from the hospital with an ambulance. Is there any chance you can hack into the road surveillance? Or anything, that could help us track her down?"

"You know it's highly illegal and not exactly easy", hesitation in his voice. "Ah fuck it, I'll use an extern server they can't trace back to me, this is Kiara we're talking about. Can you give me a time slot they left the hospital so I know where to start?" I give him the exact time the ambulance left the hospital and the number plates.

"I'll do what I can mate, but if they use routes without road surveillance there's not much I can do."

"Just try it, ok? Track down anything that you can. We need to find her."

"I'll get down to it right now, I'll give you a call as soon as I have something. But you should also get the police involved."

"My dad is on it. Now that we finally have her face on the cameras we have proof and can do something about it. We just need to be on time."

"How about getting the racing team involved, or at least part of them. You have the number plates. Who ever is out there right now, can be our eyes on the street." Why didn't I come across that idea?

I call Chris next, explain the situation and tell him to give Alex my number. Within minutes I have a call from Alex explaining the situation and he promises to kinda do a stress call over his line he usually uses for the races.

"She's been part of our community for years, be sure there will be a lot of eyes out there looking for her. We'll also check the routes the cops don't usually take", he promises and hangs up to get down to it.

What am I to do now? I can't just hang around here waiting for any news. Instead I take my main team of security guards and start roaming the streets myself.

Kiara's POV:

Everything feels cold and the pain is getting unbearable. Where the hell am I? A short memory flashes through my mind, someone sedated me. As well as possible I try to take a look around. This definitely isn't the hospital anymore. It looks like some old industrial hall or something. The roof above me is very high and everywhere around is concrete, metal and dirt.

My eyes are still blury so I can't make out too much, not that it would help me knowing where I am, as I couldn't inform anyone at all. Or let alone escape somehow in the state I'm in.

"She's awake", I hear a voice say. A voice I know too well.

Someone approaches me, a female, I can't see clear yet but there's something about her features that seem familiar and then again not.

"What do you want from me?", as much as I would like to cry, I'm too stubborn to give into these people.

A third person an unknown man appears at my bed. "This is only partially about you, Princess. Dean badly needed to learn a lesson, he can never listen to what he's supposed to do. You know if he had simply stuck to what I demanded and married my daughter all of this wouldn't have happend. Nadine is the one who belongs at his side. With both our families joined together we would be the most powerful familie next to the Royals.

But no, he had to mess it up. Alright my daughter did some stupid mistakes too, but they could have worked it out in time if it hadn't been for you interfering. That's why I had to take my other options, to make him take my daughter back. But as he didn't listen although he knew I had the power to destroy him, well anything that happens now is his own fault."

"He's going to suffer just as he made me suffer", the female voice answers.

"Who are you and why do you look so familiar to me?"

"Oh Sweetheart you really have no idea, do you? Seems like you could kinda call me mother in law."

A/N: Well a part of the bomb has just dropped, how do you feel about it? Did it take you by surprise?

I'm curious to find out your thoughts on this chapter.
