The Law of Attraction

Harry noticed the look of concern that crossed the leader's face and so he added, "Since you think she will bring you more money, then you need to treat her properly or else you can kiss away every single penny that you plan to demand.

I know her husband and he is a lawyer. Knowing how logical and rational he is, he will make sure that his wife is really safe or he will not give in to your single demands."

"Alright, take care of the bitch! Tell me what you need for her? I'm sure she just fainted because of nervousness and fatigue."

"We don't know that! Don't you have a doctor who could attend to her? Can't you see she's weak? I have already told you, she's pregnant and I heard she has a delicate pregnancy and here you are thinking about playing with her?!" Harry shouted, trying to make his act more convincing.

Kenzie had indeed fainted but she did not have a fever. Harry had exaggerated about her condition so the leader would not dare to touch her.

"Doctor? Are you kidding me? Attend to her yourself and tell me what she needs!!!" The leader yelled with irritation before leaving.

Harry was getting worried seeing the sweat drops forming on Kenzie's face. He immediately put her on the one bed in the room. He was regretting everything he had done so far and he whispered, "Oh God, what have I done! Kenzie, I'm really sorry. Please wake up."

Harry took care of Kenzie and requested everything he thought Kenzie might need during her pregnancy. The leader seemed to heed Harry's words that he would get nothing and their efforts would go to waste if something bad happened to Kenzie.

After a few minutes, Kenzie moved and slowly opened her eyes. She was hoping everything that had happened in the last few hours were only a dream but looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, she knew everything was for real. She was still a captive.

"Finally, you're awake," she heard Harry's voice. She tried to sit up on the bed with Harry's help.

"You must act weak, Kenzie, and very sick. That way, that Snake, would not dare to touch you. I will try my best to keep you safe while we wait for Daryl to rescue you. I'm sure Daryl will come for you no matter what," Harry encouraged.

Kenzie felt her stomach churn and instead of answering Harry she immediately ran into the bathroom and started puking.

Harry hurriedly ran after her and gently stroked her back.

'Oh my God,' Kenzie mused when she finally calmed down after a while. Was she really pregnant?

"Are you alright? Come here and I will help you eat. You have to eat something to keep your energy up. I will think of a way we can escape. I'm really sorry about this Kenzie. I didn't know you were pregnant. If only I had known beforehand, I would not have agreed with my mother about contacting that man." Harry whispered with drooping shoulders.

Kenzie smiled and whispered, "Better late than never. Don't think about it anymore, Harry. I wish both of us could escape or be rescued safely and I hope you can look on the brighter side of your life. Do what is right, Harry, because if you do something wrong, your conscience will keep you from achieving joy in your life."

The door opened, Kenzie immediately acted as if she was puking in the sink.

"How is she?!" the leader asked Harry.

"I'm not sure yet. She woke up and started puking. She is still hot and still feeling a bit dizzy. Did you buy what I asked for?" Harry retorted.

"Yeah, thermometer and paracetamol. Make sure she looks well because we will contact her husband via video soon!" the leader hissed.

"She needs to eat first and regain a bit of strength," Harry said and the leader left with an impatient growl.

Kenzie stopped acting and heaved a long sigh. Harry helped her back to the bed and gave her some food to eat.

It was almost four in the afternoon and she wondered how her father was doing.

*Bang *Bang *Bang

The sounds of gunshots reverberated inside the room. Harry quickly pulled Kenzie down to the floor.

"It's probably the police with Daryl," Harry whispered. Instead of being happy, Kenzie felt terrified thinking of the possibility of Daryl getting hurt.

The door swung open and the leader was about to grab Kenzie but Harry started to fight him.

"Go, Kenzie," Harry instructed her while he engaged in combat with the leader.

Kenzie immediately started to move and was about to get out of the room when she heard two gunshots.

"Stop or you're dead!" she heard the leader snarl menacingly.

She stopped. Then she felt the man grab her by her hair and pull her to him, aiming a gun at her head.

"You bitch! Where do you think you're going, huh? Scurrying away like a mouse!" the leader retorted. The leader suddenly lost his balance.

Harry, who had been shot, had crawled over and pulled the leader by his feet, causing him to fall on the ground. The leader still had a gun in his hand which he pointed at Harry, but Kenzie kicked the man's arm hard so that the shot did not hit Harry and the gun flew from the leader's hand and slid on the floor. She kicked the leader on his face twice, as hard as she could.

Harry, still bleeding, managed to punch the leader several times with all his might as well, but the man seemed to have a skull made of stone and kept fighting back. Harry was too weak to continue because he was losing a lot of blood!

Kenzie looked for the gun and when she found where it was, she immediately ran to it and shot the leader. Suddenly hard hands tugged her hair.

"Ahh!" Kenzie cried in pain. She wanted to fight because she could, but she was worried that she would get hit in her stomach. What if she was really pregnant?

"Kenzie!" she heard a familiar voice and tears started to fall from her eyes.
