CONFESSION 5
Could've shared things you might have like
To know about but I was afraid
Of losing everything I'd assumed
Would just be waiting one day
Ian Kabra sat by the window of the command center. He clutched his wedding ring tightly in his hand. He remembered the times when they were happy… He slowly drifted to sleep.
"Ian?"
"Hhmm?" he asked as they were strolling in the gardens of Grace's mansion.
"Are you sure about your decision?"
They stopped as Ian faced her.
"Forever is a long time, love. But I won't mind spending it by your side…"
And how he would wake up in the morning feeling great because she was his, he was hers… Ian was forever grateful for the courage he had to confess his feelings for her.
Ian was pissed… Amy was driving him crazy. He had sent her everything: jewelry, chocolates and flowers. He said his most heartfelt 'I love you' and his apology for everything. But Amy couldn't even say 'yes' to him.
Ian was losing hope as Amy was playing hard to get for him.
"I want a guy who says I love you every night, and proves it to me every day. Can you do it, Ian?"
He proved himself to be worthy of her 'yes'
"I, Ian Victor Kabra, take you, Amelia Hope Cahill, to be my lawfully wedded wife…"
Ian looked at her in the eye and she avoided it.
"To have and to hold, from this day forward: for better and for worse…"
He saw the tears that was threatening to fall from her eyes.
"For richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad times. To be a good husband to you and a good father to our children, and until death do us part…"
Ian slipped the ring on her finger.
"Ian?"
Ian was awakened by Nellie. He sat up and straightened himself.
"Any news?" he asked groggily.
Nellie shrugged.
"No, but were doing our best to find her, Ian. We all want Amy back…"
Natalie was worried for his brother. Ian took the news of Amy's kidnapping badly, she remembered what she heard Sinead and Fiske were talking about the night Amy disappeared. She felt bad for keeping secrets from her brother.
'He might lash out at the Vespers if he knows the extent of what happened.' Natalie thought
"Fiske, a word please…" Sinead said.
They headed to a secluded part of the Control Room. Natalie followed them secretly and eavesdropped.
"Amy's pre-"
"Pregnant, I know… That's what I'm worried about…" Fiske said.
Natalie gasped quietly at the revelation
"Earlier she collapsed due to stress of what I have told her… This is dangerous, Sinead" he added.
"Does Ian know?" Sinead asked, Natalie tensed up at the mention of her brother.
'Of course he would know, Ian's her husband…' she thought.
"Essentially he doesn't…" Fiske said.
Natalie shuddered at what she heard Fiske tell Sinead that Ian doesn't know about his wife's pregnancy. She knows that Ian must know about this. But something in her gut feeling told her that she should not interfere with the information she has.
She decided on not telling Ian anyway. Natalie was also worried for Amy, she was family after all. She hated to admit that she enjoyed the redhead's presence. As days passed by and still no sign of Amy. The Cahills are losing hope.
"This isn't working… I can't bother to sit here and know Amy is in danger!" Sinead said
Everyone soon agreed with Sinead.
"We cannot just stay here, we must rescue her already…" Natalie agreed.
Ava peeked in inside.
"Master Ian, there's a package for you…"
Ian took the black box that was adorned with red ribbon. He set the package down at the table. Ian's eyes narrowed as he read the message.
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
A LIFE FOR A LIFE…
The others surrounding him paled at the message. Ian shakily grabbed the familiar fabric of Amy's dress. It was stained with crimson blood.
Amy's blood.
"Can we trace where the package came from?" Hamilton asked.
"It's not that accurate…" Dan said.
Ian remained silent. The image of the fabric with Amy's blood still haunts him.
'Hang on, love. I'll get you out soon…' Ian thought.
