Elizabeth paced around the small room she was put in by her captures. Her hand was rubbing her stomach softly as she nibbled on her lip. She had no clue why Lorenzo Alcazar would want to kidnap her. She looked down at her small bump and sighed.
"Don't worry, little one. Your daddy will find us. He always does." She believed that with her whole heart. He never let her down before, and knew he wouldn't now.
She heard the lock on the door click and watched as the door open. Lorenzo walked through as if there was nothing wrong at all with what he was doing and closed and locked the door behind him. He walked over to her and stopped his hands behind his back, a sly smile across his face.
"Mrs. Spencer I hope you find your accommodations to your liking. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but you see I need your help."
"It's Ms. Spencer, Mr. Alcazar, and I would appreciate it if you would kindly tell me what the hell you think you are doing. I have nothing to do with you or your business, and if you don't mind, I have to get back to my son." She went to walk around him toward the door, but was stopped when he grabbed her arm softly.
"On the contrary, Ms. Spencer, you are the key to getting everything I want." He led her to the wing chair on the side of the bed and sat her in it. "You see, I want a clear path for my shipments to come through these harbors. Mr. Corinthos and Mr. Morgan don't seem to want to be accommodating. This way, I have something they want; in return for something I want."
She swallowed nervously and looked up at him.
"I don't know what it is you think you can gain by taking me, but I have not been associated with Mr. Corinthos for years. As for Jason, we are friends, but I have no part of his business dealings."
Alcazar laughed softly. "Oh, but Ms. Spencer, you have something that is far more precious than their territory." He knelt down right in front of her, his hands clasped together in front of him. "You are carrying Mr. Morgan's child."
Her eyes grew wide. How could he know that? She had told no one, and had even burned the results.
"I…I don't know what you are talking about. You must have received faulty information, Mr. Alcazar-"
"Oh, come now, Elizabeth. Let's not play games. I saw the test results with my own eyes."
She swallowed softly, fear growing in her with every moment.
He stood straight and walked around the room.
"It seems that the outcome of the paternity test was of particular interest to a colleague of mine. He procured a copy of the test from your file at the hospital, and has kept it in his possession for safe keeping."
Anger suddenly coursed through her body. "Those files are confidential. Who would dare look through someone else's files? How dare you violate my privacy!"
He smirked at her outburst.
"It would seem you have many admirers in this town, Ms. Spencer. Your ex-husband was quite curious to find out the results. Seems he was concerned for your wellbeing. He didn't like the fact that you were associating with Mr. Morgan. He found the results and took them."
She stood from her chair, anger seething through her body. "Ric knows? He knows, and he told you?"
He shook his head. "No, he never said a word to me. My men found some paperwork in his office. You see, we had an agreement. We were both working toward a common goal: to get rid of the Corinthos Organization once and for all. He seemed as eager to take out his brother as I am. But then he got sloppy, started taunting Jason. He had become a liability. So my men went to his office to make sure there was nothing linking me to him in anyway, and they came across your little secret."
Elizabeth's brain was scrambling for something that would help her. She looked up at him, her breathing shallow from nerves and fear.
"But..but how can this baby help you? I mean, Jason thinks it's Lucky's. He has no idea it's his."
Lorenzo again smiled, pulling his hands behind him.
"That's where it gets interesting, Ms. Spencer. I knew if I told Mr. Lansing that we had his precious ex-wife in our care, his conscious would get the best of him. As we speak, I'm sure he is running to Jason. Of course, it is his last resort. The last thing in the world he would do is go to Morgan for help. He has no choice. Not only that, but he will have to tell him what Lansing has known all along: that baby is Jason's. And now it's a bargaining chip."
Elizabeth sat back in the chair, dizziness coming over her in waves. This couldn't be happening. She had every intention of telling Jason the truth, was even on her way to do just that. Now he was going to find out from the one person he hated most in the world.
She didn't even notice Alcazar leave the room. She closed her eyes, letting the tears that pooled flow down her cheeks, and sobbed softly.
