"Achoo!"
Rita sneezed abruptly and loudly. This helped bring her back to her senses after having been drugged by Darren for a second time. She had been a bit groggy before but she was wide awake now.
She hadn't responded when Darren talked to her, hoping to piss him off. But he had ignored her and transferred her and the kids to where they were now after he'd received a strange call. The place was dark and wet but it seemed safe enough. She was just thankful that she and the kids were still together and alive.
Time seemed to have stool still here in this dead silent room. Rita tried to look around the room. After some time, she concluded that they were in some sort of deserted basement.
She prayed in her heart that David and Jacob would find them soon and she was confident that they would. It was just a matter of time. The most troubling thing was where they had taken Emily. She then closed her eyes out of frustration and helplessness.
"Mommy? Where are we now? This place stinks!" Dylan suddenly complained.
He was a little bigger than Beryl. Maybe it was because he was a boy and his physical condition was better, but he woke up earlier than Beryl did even though Darren had given them the same amount of drugs.
Dylan looked around cautiously. He felt something on his shoulder and found that Beryl had fallen asleep leaning against it.
"Hush, my little boy! Listen carefully to Mommy." Rita lowered her voice and put her finger over her mouth.
She cast a quick glance at the door where the only light in their room came from before she continued, "Darren has kidnapped us. Please take care of yourself and Beryl. I'll find a way to get us out of here."
Rita didn't really know if she could find a way to get them out of there but she thought that a little confidence and hope wouldn't hurt, or else, they might not make it until they were actually rescued. She also warned Dylan to keep a distance from Darren and to be careful with him because he was a demon in human form.
"I promise, Mommy!" Dylan nodded his little head with a serious look on his face.
He then lowered his head to look at Beryl, who was sleeping soundly. A sense of responsibility was rising from the bottom of his heart. He was the only man here and, despite his age, he felt obligated to protect Beryl, his mother, and the baby his mother was carrying.
Dylan then adjusted his body so that Beryl would be more comfortable. Beryl looked like a pure angel with her adorable, rounded face. Dylan took a deep breath and swore that he would never let her down because she trusted him and respected him.
Rita felt tears welling up under her eyes as she watched this scene unfold between the two children.
The kids weren't supposed to get caught up in this whole mess. This was just supposed to be between the adults. She hated how unfair fate was. Clenching her hands, she tried hard to hold back her tears.
BANG!
The iron door flew
nd. She wondered where she was as the place wasn't familiar at all. She didn't make any noise because she immediately detected the weird atmosphere.
She secretly shifted her gaze among Dylan, Rita, and Nora. Then, she realized that she needed to lay low in order to protect herself. She wished that her father and mother could be here with her and that she could cry in their arms.
"Don't get so mad, Nora. You're only here because Darren allowed it. But need I remind you that he never loved you even though he married you? And as for David, well, I don't think it's really my job to tell you that he's moved on and gotten over you. You're no longer the girl he grew up with anymore."
Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth as she spoke. Nora was irritated to find that Rita still looked beautiful despite the swollen cheek, bruises, and the blood.
Rita was such a perfect balance between confident and elegant that even Nora couldn't deny it.
In addition to that, Nora was hurt by Rita's words. In fact, she was so hurt that she had trouble breathing.
Rita was right about everything. She was a pathetic woman.
David was her childhood sweetheart but that was it. He'd already moved on from her.
Darren was her husband and he was supposed to protect her no matter what, but that wasn't the case. He didn't care about her, let alone love her.
However, Nora was still reluctant to admit all these. She was still in denial of the fact that her life was pathetic. She wanted to believe that she deserved the best.
It was all Rita's fault. She had purposely seduced David so that he would fall in love with her and forget about Nora. David was crazy about her. He would realize one day that Nora was the woman he loved the most. Nora was sure that David would come back to her.
She took several deep breaths to calm down and restore her faith. Then, she glared at Rita and said proudly, "You know nothing, Rita. You know nothing about David."
