Here's the final chapter to the story I'm afraid. Thanks to all that reviewed. Please review to let me know what you think of the ending.
...
Ben made it to his safe house and heard word from Norton that Juliet wasn't going to be represented by one of their lawyers but Widmore's. This didn't bode well at all. There was nothing that Norton could do about this. "Do one thing for me. Make sure that her nephew is safe. I'll have to go through other sources to sort this out. Also I need records about the incident. You know the ones I mean."
He called Naveen once again to find out where Juliet was currently located. "She's still in the hotel. That's what the security cameras are telling me. Also Widmore is still there as well and hasn't checked out."
"I need an address."
"Alright, give it to me."
"His name is Robert Adam Henright, 23 years old and married. He was one of my employees."
He heard some typing. "I have it. 2344 West 124th street."
Ben hung up and decided to pay someone a visit. He approached the door and rang the bell. A woman answered the door. "Hello, how can I help you?"
"Are you Mrs. Henright?" Ben did his best to look very worried and apologetic.
"Yes, I am. Is there something wrong?" The young woman was starting to get scared.
Ben made it look like he couldn't look at her. "I'm so sorry Mrs. Henright but there has been an accident. I am a lawyer for Mr. Widmore your husband's new employee."
"Oh my God what happened? Is he alright?" Tears were beginning to fall down her face already.
"If you would come with me I'll take you there to see him."
"Yes, yes of course hold on I'll get my purse and shoes." She got ready very fast and locked the door. They drove for ten minutes and she asked him a question. "What type of accident?"
"I am so sorry Mrs. Henright." His voice was now calm and he had a smile on his face. He reached into his pocket and shot her with a dart. She slumped in her seat in seconds.
His safe house was well hidden from nosy neighbors so pulling a knocked out woman and taking her into a house would not be reported. She tied her up and placed her on the couch. Pulling out his cell he made a call.
"Hello Ben. I wasn't expecting to hear from you again. I must say that Juliet is a very sexy woman. If she doesn't help Mr. Widmore I get the fortunate job of getting rid of her. I may enjoy myself first."
Ben didn't react to this but he may end up killing him for his remarks and betrayal. "I have your wife. Imagine the fun I can have with her. She's wearing a black knit top with faded jeans and her necklace says her name. Tina. How very lovely. Oh, she's waking up."
Tina opened her eyes and looked around. "Where am I? What the hell?"
"Did you hear that? Is that your wife's voice?"
There was silence on the other line? Then Robert spoke. "I'll get you for this."
"But first you are going to abduct Juliet and bring her to the address I give you. If you tell anyone about this your wife will suffer." Ben gave him the address and hung up. He looked down at the scared woman on the couch. "I have no intentions of harming you. I really don't like hurting women. I find it rather barbaric."
Tina started screaming and Ben simply placed a gag on her to keep her quiet. "That's better. I love having a good conversation with an intelligent woman. They have the most interesting views on things and they give me different perspective on how things work. But if I allow you to talk you'll simply curse and talk about the latest reality TV. show you're fascinated with."
He moved her to an arm chair and tied her to it. "Your husband will find you here. He'll answer all your questions when he does." He dropped an envelope onto her lap.
Ben left the house and locked the door and walked away from the muffled fading screams.
….
Robert heard the phone click off and had to control himself. He hadn't expected Linus to get to his wife. Widmore promised she would be safe if he helped him out. Juliet was in the next room. From what he could hear she was meeting with a lawyer to sue Mittelos for kidnapping and murder. Oh this was going to be tough.
He knocked on the door and entered. He used the excuse to use the washroom to be there. Another person took his place outside.
"You have no idea the good you are doing Ms. Burke. I know you have been put through a lot and I assure you I will no longer contact you again after this."
"Just send me to his office. I want this over with."
This was Robert's chance. " sir? I'll take her to the office if you like. I know where Mr. Kenning's office is."
"Ah, yes he helped you get away from Ben didn't he? Very well take Ms. Burke there and bring her back here."
Robert nodded and put Juliet in the back of a smaller limo. She noticed that the doors only open from the outside. He tried to make conversation with her a few times but she ignored him. She looked outside trying to remember landmarks. Then things began to get familiar.
"Where are you really taking me?"
"Ben called and made different arrangements." His voice was stiff.
Juliet teared up now afraid what revenge Ben would take on her for her betrayal. Twenty minutes later she arrived at the entrance of Mittelos Biotechnologies. Ben was there and two men rushed her through the gates.
Robert got out of the car. "She's alive right?"
"She's fine. Unlike you I don't have fun with the women under my watch."
…..
The door burst open and Tina looked up to find her husband. He ran towards her and untied her. "I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I'm out of this line of work. I swear."
"Robert, I'm alright. What's going on?"
He simply hugged her and wouldn't let go. He noticed a while later an envelope with his name on it. "What's this?"
"He left it here, I don't know."
Robert opened the letter and read.
Mr. Henright,
I was quite surprised about your betrayal and had to take action to protect what's mine. If you are reading this it means you betrayed Widmore. He's not a forgiving man and will go after you for handing Juliet to me.
Obviously you love your wife more than your career. This house and property have been placed under your name. Widmore has no idea of its location. There's a whole years salary under the sofa for your leisure so you can hide for a while.
I have no intentions on seeing anyone suffer due to Widmore. But keep this in mind. If I see you again or hear that you continued your employment with Widmore I will not be so forgiving as I am now.
BL
Robert hugged his wife again and dropped the letter to the floor.
….
Juliet was scared when Ben brought her to a small lounge of some sort. Ben smiled at her and that scared her even more. "I don't love you."
"But you cared enough for me to get Widmore to let me go."
"I was almost free from you." She was crying now in anger.
He motioned for her to sit down on one of the sofas. She sat and he sat next to her. "Is that what you really want Juliet. You know I can't let you do that. You run to Widmore it will mean not only my death but the death of everyone on the island."
"You killed my sister Ben. How can I be with you after that? All I can see is my sister's killer."
He pulled out a manila folder. "Open it."
Juliet did and saw papers showing the progress of the cancer. She knew well enough that no drug could duplicate this. "But the papers Widmore showed me…they showed everything."
"He showed you what he wanted you to see. Angie wasn't the target, you were. Norton was forced to forge those to get to you so he could save his daughter. Get you to turn against me. Here's the proof. You can believe what you want Juliet you're an intelligent woman."
She was so confused and hurt. If she stayed behind Widmore would hunt her down and force her to sue Mittelos. If she went with Ben he would own her for good. She had no idea which man was telling the truth at the moment but knew that Ben would never harm her. After every bitter moment they shared and the knowledge he could steal her back, she simply gave in.
Ben saw her give in and knew she was finally his. The forged documents he just gave her were done well enough to either convince her or confuse her. She would return to the island with him and never ask to leave. He pulled her tired form to him and held her with his mouth at her ear. "You're mine."
