However, Kylie do know this person and he'll be reveal in this chapter because he's gonna be calling Jalen with his demands and another shocking secret about Kylie will be revealed. Furthermore, after the next chapter, there's gonna be a time jump because I wanna move along with Jalen's pregnancy. Remember to vote on who the sex of the baby should be. I'm keeping the poll open for one more week and then I'm closing it down. I'm serious this time.

Slowly but surely, Kylie opened her eyes and quickly realized she wasn't at home. She looked around the dim lit room and found herself being surrounded by boxes. She tried to get up, but the chain on her ankle prevented her from moving. Furthermore, her hands were bound with handcuffs and her mouth was covered with duct tape. The one good thing that came out of being held hostage is that her clothes weren't torn nor tampered with. In fact, her pants were still on; which meant that the person who abducted her hadn't assaulted her.
Yet.
Blood was drying up on her face and she was feeling weak. Her stomach was growling and she was desperate to survive. Whoever took her made sure they were seen.
"Hello, Kylie," a male voice called out to her.
She couldn't say anything because her mouth was taped shut.
"Wonder why I brought you here? Well, it's simple; I came back to get what's mine. First of all, I'm glad your ex-husband's dead. He was a dead beat, anyway. What kind of man beats and tries to rape my fucking child?" he snarled in anger.
Kylie closed her eyes. She knew this day would come, but she wasn't prepared for it.
"And you didn't tell Jalen about me, didn't you? Well, it's a good thing she's a grown up, huh? She should understand why you kept this secret from her for so long. Well, the buck ends here, Kylie. It's about time our daughter knows the truth," the man sneered. He then reached over and ripped the tape away from her mouth, causing her to scream out in pain.
"Why are you doing this? Why did you bring me here?" she asked frantically.
He smiled. "So we can be a family again, Kylie. You, me and Jalen. Like it was meant to be."
"You turned out be just like Michael. I couldn't be with you after what you've done to me," she broke down.
His smile faded immediately. "So you're saying I'm better off dead?"
"I just wanted you to leave me alone. You never loved me. All I was to you was a punching bag and a meal ticket. And when I got pregnant, you tried to kill me and my unborn baby. I had no choice but to leave you. You made me leave," she replied, sobbing.
"You fucking little cunt! You don't fucking know me at all! Besides, what did that lowlife you married ever did for you besides raising my child? You never even gave me a chance to change my ways! You never gave me a chance to get help! You took Jalen and left me when I needed you, Kylie! I'm supposed to be your husband, not Michael!" he roared as he reached over and slapped her across her face. Kylie started crying.
"Shut the fuck up, crybaby! God, let me get away from you before I do something I regret!" he snapped as he turned on his heel and stormed away, leaving her to try and fend for herself.
Kylie wished that she could go back in time and take back what happened between her and the man who stood before her. The one mistake she made before she even met Michael was get involved with and ultimately got pregnant by Kenneth Lewis, a man who turned out to be like the man she married, Michael Harrington. Now, after all this time, he wants to be a family with her; knowing that Jalen's all grown up and living on her own. She closed her eyes and felt more tears streaming down her face. God, she needed to find a way to get out of here.
God, please help me find a way out of this hell hole, she thought with her head hung low.

Harrington residence
Houston, Texas
September 14, 2010
Jalen and John had everything packed. Now all they needed was to get the hell out of dodge. They knew that Wade was on his way here to get her and they needed to leave before that happens. They decided to leave first thing in the morning because they were too tired to do anything yesterday, especially after the conclusion of RAW. Seeing Nexus being fired and being escorted out of the arena terrified and excited them to no end.
As they headed towards their car (seeing that John used his rental car t and parked right behind her car), her cell phone started ringing. Jalen stopped right on her tracks, reached inside her purse, pulled it out and answered it right away. When she noticed that it was unlisted number, something was terribly wrong.
"Babe, what's the matter?" John asked as he was putting their luggage in the trunk of her car.
"I have to answer this," she replied as she snapped her phone open.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Jalen, honey, it's your mother! I need your help!" Kylie said frantically.
Fear quickly etched right on Jalen's face. "Mom, are you okay? Where are you?"
"I don't know where I am, but someone from my past brought me here! I was attacked in my house! Please, I need you to come to Phoenix and help me..." were the last words Kylie said before the phone was ripped away from her. Jalen cringed when she heard the unmistakable slap on the other line.
"Who's there? Please tell me where you have my mother!" Jalen cried.
The man laughed evilly on the other line. "So this is Jalen Jubilee Harrington, huh? Your mother told me all about you. I must say, I hope you're as beautiful as Kylie claims."
"You sick son of a bitch! Where's my mother?" she barked angrily.
"Now is that any way to talk to your father, little girl?" he sneered.
"F-father? My father is Michael Harrington. And, he's dead!" she screamed.
"Hmm. Seems your mother didn't tell you anything about her history with me. I guess I'm gonna have to clear things up and get my family back together. I want you to come to Phoenix, Jalen. I'll call you back and tell you where I got your mother. Everything will fall into place, then. Oh, and don't be stupid. Come alone or you'll never see your mother again," he said before he hung up.
Jalen slowly lowered her arm and looked at her phone for a moment, not moving a muscle. John realized that something happened so he went over to where she was standing and wrapped his strong arms around her, comforting her. After a while, she laid her head against his chest and started sobbing; clutching his shirt with her hands.
"What's wrong, baby?" he whispered.
"Some man got my mother and I have to go see him. I have to go to Phoenix by myself to find her," she whimpered.
"Like hell you do. I'm going with you," he declared.
"No, John, you can't. He'll kill my mother if I don't come alone. He claims to be my father," she told him.
He sighed in frustration. "This is getting to be too much. But, I don't care. I'm going with you. We'll make it look like you came alone. If that man claims to be your father, there's a good reason why Kylie didn't say anything. I think he turned out to be like the man who raised you; the man who's now dead."
"I guess you're right. Let's go. I still wanna get out of here before Wade shows up," she assured him. They got into their respective cars and began pulling away (with John making plans to return his rental car on their way to the airport), just as Wade was about to turn around the corner.
When he finally did, he quickly pulled up in the driveway and quickly got out of his car, then he quickly ran across the lawn and prodded up the steps. He pounded on the door for several minutes before he peered through the window and found Jalen's home completely empty. The only thing he saw was the couch sitting in the living room. That made him angry.
He couldn't believe she got away from him again. He had planned on getting her back and even forcing her to help him get his job back, but that won't be happening anytime soon. Furthermore, as he was arriving at her home, he got a text message from Heath; citing that David and Justin's trial date has been set for tomorrow. To make matters worse, Jalen won't have to testify due to the fact that she's running for her life, but Kelly Kelly will be fit to testify about how her life almost ended at their hands and didn't even know about it.
Wade really have no plans to go up to Toronto to support his former cohorts and friends. He told them that they were gonna have to face this alone. He still wants Jalen back and he still plans on making sure she doesn't have his baby.
He ran back to his car and got in, then he started the engine and began pulling away. He still has to find her and if it means traveling across the country is the only way he can find her, then so be it.
However, as he would soon find out, that finding her would be much more harder than he thought.

Ontario Supreme Court
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
September 15, 2010
Reporters from all walks of life descended on the steps of the Ontario courthouse. The first day of David and Justin's trial was about to begin and based on the commotion outside, it was gonna be a pretty big trial, to say the least. Both of arrived at the courthouse with their respective team of lawyers on hand, plus their family members for moral support.
They're gonna need all the love and support because the outcome of the trial could mean the end for them.
As they made their way towards the courtroom, they were surprised to find Michael, Heath, Darren and Skip standing outside, showing their support for their fallen comrades.
"I didn't think you'd show up. We saw what happened on RAW. I'm not surprised, to be honest with you," David said as he greeted his friends.
"Yeah, we weren't surprised, either. Wade, however, he was pissed," Heath replied.
"Is he still trying to get Jalen back?" Justin asked, shaking his head.
"He's more determined than ever; especially now that the truth's out in the open. He's not gonna let anyone stand in his way of getting her back," Skip jumped in.
"Is he still gonna make her lose their baby?" David asked softly.
"All that and then some. Man, you should've seen him when we got kicked out the arena. He kicked every single car that came in his way and he even pulled out a gun and fired at the wall. He's clearly lost his mind. I don't blame Jalen one bit for finally getting away from him, but we've seen first hand how Wade don't take things lying down," Michael said, frowning.
"You're right. And we're paying the price for it. I just want to get this over with," David sighed deeply.
"Sorry that he's not here to support you guys. He's the one who put you up to it in the first place. If anything, he's the one who should be on trial," Heath said, patting David's shoulder in a sympathetic gesture.
The two men nodded slowly before they turned on their heels and followed their lawyers right inside the courtroom, leaving the others standing outside. They looked at each other slowly for a moment before they finally muster up the strength to go inside. Once the doors were closed, silence filled the hallway and the only thing you heard was gavel being banged on the judge's bench.
Everyone's lives were about to be forever changed after today. The outcome of the trial will determine who's gonna walk away and who's gonna get their lives ruined forever.
For David and Justin, they hoped and prayed that their lives won't be forever ruined.
Coming up in the next chapter: Jalen and John arrives in Phoenix and meets the man who claims to be her real father. Will they be able to save Kylie before it's too late? Wade's plans in getting Jalen back continues to get more and more difficult because he wounds up arrested. What's the charge, you ask? Stay tuned!
