I saw surprise etched on his features, shortly followed by need...it made his gaze gleamed brightly hot..I faltered at the sight and began to set some distance between us when his arms wrapped around my waist firmly....

His mouth capturing mine in an all consuming, over powering kiss cutting off my oxygen supply entirely, I gripped his arm for support when my legs threatened to give way.

When he finally let go of me I panted heavily trying to catch my breath...

I didn't see Shawn around anymore...I was relieved but at the same time my heart sank.There was no hope for me anymore...The devil came...and he was going to take me with him.

"Good girl " he murmured kissing the sides of my hair gently as we walked outside.

My legs threatened to give way as we climbed down from the car, my whole muscles ache but at the same time I couldn't wait to see Hazel.

It had felt like an eternity before he'd finally pulled the car in front of a driveway.

I stared at the huge house....it wasn't a house, it was a mansion....Just like the one they have in our old town.

They were no doubt filthy rich and have houses everywhere.Any other time and situation I might have taken time to appreciate the beauty of the place...

Before we had left my house I had taken another last glance back at the house, I don't know if I would ever return back there, it was filled with so many precious memories...And I had been forced to leave all that behind me.

I still saw Shawn's sad gaze, he had been a true friend to me since the first day I met him, I miss him already , I knew he could tell something was wrong..

He'd always helped me in every situation but not at this time...I don't think anyone could ever win against Hayden when it came to getting what he wanted.

I couldn't give Shawn what he had wanted since the past years.I'm glad I didn't lead him on In anyway but either way I knew he had still gotten hurt.Maybe it was because I knew I would never have been able to lead a normal life..Also I didn't have anything to give..Years ago he'd already taken anything left to give to anyone...

"Mommy!"

My heart clenched at the sound of her gleeful voice .

She approached from the house, an older woman towing right behind her.

I squeezed her in a warm embrace inhaling her sweet baby scent..

I didn't realize I was sobbing aloud

I can't believe I almost lost her...well I did lost her, but now I can see and hold her again.

"Why are you crying mommy?Are you sad?.."

I sniffed aloud chuckling softly at her words , she was here, safe and sound so how could I be sad?

"No mommy is very happy , these are tears of joy baby "

GRACIE

I kissed her forehead murmuring a prayer of thanks after checking her hands and feet, I was glad to see that she was okay.

Her gaze focused on something behind me and her face lit up in a huge smile..
