CHAPTER 10

She was pulling clothes off the clothes line and sticking the clothespins in her apron. She heard giggling from beside her and saw her sweet girl hiding behind some sheets. She smiled softly and started walking that way.

"I hear someone giggling…" she spoke softly.

"Shhh!" she heard back.

She moved the sheet away and found her daughter sitting there in her blue jeans, uggs and her polka dot pink jacket with fur on the hood. Her long dark brown almost black hair was pulled up in a tight bun and she was holding her eyes closed with her hands.

"I'm hiding!" she whispered.

She rolled her blue eyes at her silly daughter and got down to her size. "Honey I found you."

Her daughter peeked from her hands and her green eyes were staring hard at her mom. "You no fun mommy." She pouted and stood up and tugged on the sheet. It was chilly this time of year and it was the middle of December in Arizona.

"Ollie why don't you go get a juice from inside?" she told her daughter.

Ollie smiled and ran into the back door of her one story home and closed the door behind her.

She sighed. It was hard living isolated from everyone and having to be on her own. Plus it didn't help that she had no help. She looked down at herself and smiled. She'd lost quite a bit of weight since having her daughter and she was almost at 200 pounds. A goal she'd been wanting since high school.

She heard a car coming up the long drive that was to her house. Since she lived isolated, she'd picked a house far out in Arizona where no one would come looking for her. There was nothing but trees and dirt everywhere around her home.

She ran inside with her laundry and locked the door. Ollie was sitting at her play table drinking her apple juice. She ran to the front door and locked the door.

What if he'd found her?

She couldn't let him find her and her daughter…she didn't need him in her life anymore.

She pulled to the side and looked out the window pane and saw it was a big black SUV. The vehicle stopped and out got a tall brown headed guy, an African American male with bushy hair and a thin petite woman.

She was confused. She looked at her daughter, "Stay inside Ollie."

She unlocked her front door and stepped outside. "Who are you and what do you want?"

Gabriella stared out the window as they passed nothing but farm land. "I didn't know there was farm land in Arizona."

Troy laughed, "There is farm land everywhere honey."

Gabriella gave a small smile and watched as they pulled up to a house. She looked down and smoothed out her jeans and hoodie. It was chilly but not too cold.

It was a day after Chad told them they needed to find Martha. Chad had to rush to get someone to help him locate her. They found out she'd changed her last name back to Cox so Henry couldn't find her. But instead of going by Martha, she was going by Mary…her Mother's name.

They pulled up to the house and got out.

The front door to the house opened and out stepped a woman Gabriella hadn't seen in a long time. "Who are you and what do you want?"

She was thinner than she remembered and her hair was pulled up. She had on jeans, long sleeve shirt and an apron that looked like she had stuff in it. Gabriella looked at Troy and Chad and they nodded at her.

It was decided on the way to Arizona that Gabriella would talk first to Martha. "Martha? Martha Montgomery?"

Martha was taken back. "My name is Mary Cox…can I help you with something?"

Gabriella could sense something was wrong with her. She was scared and looked fragile. "MY name is Gabriella." She spoke and started walking closer to Martha. "Gabriella Montez."

Martha stopped in her tracks. "East High?" she whispered.

Gabriella nodded. "East High." She confirmed.

Martha was confused. "What are you doing here?" she placed her hands on her hips and tapped her fingers against her frame.

Gabriella sighed and stuck her small hands in her hoodie pockets. "I need your help…It's Henry."

All the color in Martha's face drained and she couldn't speak. Before she could say a word, the front door opened and her daughter poked her head out. "Mommy…I'm hungry…"

Gabriella was startled. Martha has a daughter. She looked just like Henry. Martha went into hiding because she was pregnant.

"Ollie go back into the house. I will be there in a minute." Her daughter sighed and went back inside and shut the door. Martha sighed and turned towards the three guests. "Come in." she whispered.

They sat at the dining table with glasses of juice or water in front of them. Martha sat next to her daughter while she ate her lunch able. "How'd you find me?"

Troy sighed, "Chad and I work for the FBI."

Martha nodded, "Enough said." She sighed and looked at Gabriella. "I heard you got together with him…I keep in contact with my mother every now and then but from a disposable phone. Henry has tried to come after me once but I was able to escape."

Gabriella sighed, "I'm sorry you had to go through that."

Martha shook her head and looked Gabriella over, "No I'm sorry YOU had to go through that."

She raised a brow at Martha, "What?"

"I can see the fading bruise…you walk with a limp, did he break your ribs?" she asked and Gabriella nodded, "I remember that when he broke my ribs…hurt bad."

Chad cleared his throat. "Henry has been arrested for the murder of Gabriella."

Martha looked confused. "What? I'm confused."

"I faked my death…and I made him beat me before I did it…" Gabriella trailed off and then started to explain everything to Martha. Chad chimed in about Lynn Matthews and Martha's heart dropped.

"Lynn…" she whispered.

Chad looked at her and put his hands on the table. "How well did you know her?"

Martha looked at her daughter, "Ollie go take your lunch to your room, cartoons are on."

Ollie nodded and ran off with her lunch.

Martha took a sip of her water and placed the glass on the table. "Lynn was my best friend in high school. When Gabriella introduced us – we were attached at the hip." She spoke softly. She moved a stray hair behind her ear and looked at the three people sitting across from her.

"When Lynn met Henry, she was all about him and how much he loved her and how much she loved him…" she trailed off. "It was repetitive."

"Anyway when she turned 18, the weekend of her birthday…she left. She was gone for about a week and when she came back – they were married."

Chad nodded, "Yeah that's in my file."

Martha sighed, "She moved out of her mom's house and in with Henry into his house. He was a doctor and could afford everything for her. She started missing more school and after a while…she quit coming back."

Gabriella nodded, "I remember that. I'd heard she'd gotten her GED."

"Yeah she did. She was so smart… she should've stayed in school…" Martha said.

"What happened?" Troy asked, his blue eyes meeting hers.

"This was about 2 years after we graduated…I was so stupid. I visited Lynn quite a bit at their house and even stayed the night a few times pulling all nighters for study sessions. Lynn was so smart – she was helping me with some science shit I couldn't understand. She was tutoring me."

"Anyway, I came by one night and Lynn wasn't there. The maid told me she was at a doctor's appointment…but that Henry was home if I wanted to come in."

"I went inside and found Henry in the living room watching some sports channel…"

"Football?" Gabriella asked.

"Yep. His favorite."

Martha sighed, "I sat down on the couch and said hello to him. He smiled at me. I knew I was in trouble when he smiled at me." She said softly. "I had a hard time talking to men…I had strong body issues. I didn't like the way I looked but Henry…he told me I was beautiful."

Troy shook his head, "He was luring you in."

She nodded, "Yes." She spoke and cleared her throat.

Flashback

She sat there nervously. Lynn told her to meet her at her house and she wasn't even here!

Henry grinned at her. "So how is college?"

Martha shrugged, "Hard."

"What are you majoring in?" he asked her softly. His green eyes piercing hers blue orbs.

"Business and Dance."

Henry raised a brow, "Dance?" he asked looking her up and down.

She moved in her seat. "Yes…I used to dance a lot as a kid and I was really good at it. My mother owns the Dance studio in town…I've gained a lot of weight and quit dancing before I started high school."

"You're beautiful."

Her head snapped up to meet his stare. "What?" she asked softly.

Henry moved closer to Martha and ran a finger down her arm. "You are gorgeous. If you were mine…I would cherish you every day."

Martha was confused. This was her best friend's husband and he was hitting on her…but at the same it felt amazing. A guy was taking interest in her…

"You would?" she stuttered.

Henry nodded and scooted even closer to her. "I would love you, kiss you, make love to you…"

She shuddered. She wanted that. "I want that so bad."

"Then come here."

End Flashback

"That day we had sex and Lynn walked in on us…I found out later that Lynn was coming back from an ultrasound appointment. She was over 3 months pregnant."

"Yeah I found that out from Dr. Chelsea Barnes." Chad told them.

"Dr. Barnes saved my life." Martha stated.

Chad looked confused. "What do you mean?"

Martha looked at them. "This is Dr. Barnes' home. She put me here to protect me."

She looked around the room and started gathering a bag. She was not going to go down for this shit. Henry was in custody and she didn't need to talk to that damn Chad anymore. He was getting too close. She needed to get Henry out and get him out the states.

Her bag was packed and ready to run. She ran across the hall from her room and took a key out of her pocket and unlocked the door and opened it. There he sat patiently on his bed.

"Can we go see momma now?" he whispered. His blond hair was straight and smoothed to the side. He wore a deep red polo shirt and nice pair of blue jeans and a pair of tennis shoes.

Chelsea rolled her eyes at the five year old boy and shook her head. "In a minute, Owen." She snapped and started getting his suit case ready and throwing all this clothes in there. "We have to go visit a friend."

"Again?" he whispered.

Chelsea snapped her head to that little boy. "Yes." She seethed. "You will be seeing Olivia soon enough."

That seemed to make the boy a little happy. "I miss Ollie."

That made her mad. "Her name is Olivia!" she snapped and slapped the boy across the face.

"I'm sorry…" he cried.

Chelsea sighed and finished packing his bags and then stopped. "I will be back."

Owen didn't say anything and let Chelsea leave the room. She locked the door back and went down the hall and towards the kitchen where the basement door was. She unlocked the lock and went down stepping carefully. She turned the light on and smirked.

"Rise and shine…sunshine."

In the middle of the room sat a woman locked up in a cage. She had bright blue eyes and long blond messy hair. She was dirty and had nasty clothes on. Chelsea sighed. "Bath time honey."

Chelsea took a bucket full of cold water and held it over the cage and poured it over the woman. She was used to it by now. The water didn't bother her. "Why are you doing this?"

Chelsea sighed, "You already know honey." She spoke.

Chelsea bent down eye level to the woman. "We're going to help break him out of jail…grab baby mama number 2 and pick up the bitch that put him there."

The woman broke out into cries and Chelsea hit the bars. "Shut the fuck up…Henry owes me for this shit Lynn." She laughed. "He owes me big time."

Hope you liked it.

Things are just about to get even more exciting. Chelsea has been working with Henry all this time. EVIL GENIUS laughing haha JK.
