Double trouble

Somewhere in another part of M city, in a large mansion, a bedroom facing the vast garden a pregnant woman was caressing her stomach looking out the big window. It has been a week Lyla has been taken to this big mansion. She remembers she told Jake that she needed to go to toilet and he accompany her only to be reprimanded with her glare because she won't feel comfortable with him going in the women's washroom. If it was Dylan, she wouldn't mind that much. With his overbearing worrisome and protective ways, she got used to it if he comes with her inside the women's washroom. Even if it means they have to clear the washroom just for her own sake. But since Dylan couldn't accompany her, she went in alone. What she didn't know, three person was waiting for her inside the washroom and when she had done with her business, they threaten to kill the baby inside her stomach if she didn't follow what they say. She could only nodded while tapping onto her phone that's been strapped around her thigh. Hoping Dylan would know how to read her signal. She forgot to make it easier for Dylan to track her. She can only pray someone in Dylan's team would know how to hack into her complicated system. She was blindfolded the whole time and all she knew she was taken into flights and the next moment she's already at this mansion. The person who kidnapped her seem to have a deep grudge towards Dylan. She didn't know what but had a feeling it was related with one of his family members. She was annoyed on the first day she's on the mansion to the point it drives the people kidnapping her nuts and angry. She thought of eating the ice cream that she bought on that day but due to the kidnap, she didn't get to eat any. Being pregnant and craving so badly, she couldn't help but make trouble for them. In the end, she met the person behind the kidnap scene.

"You couldn't even handle a single person and had to call me multiple times? What's the point of me hiring you?" He roared. She can hear it from the stairs since she was on the way down. They couldn't keep her locked in the room because she would always find a way to threaten them and unlock the door itself. To be safe, they just let her roam freely and watched her every move.

"But sir, she's pregnant. You didn't say the person that we have to kidnap is a pregnant woman. Although we're professional hunter but we have our morals." the other person replied.

"What? She's pregnant?" He asked. Seeing his subordinate nod their head makes him clench his teeth. He's been tricked. That damn woman. He was about to lash out again when he could hear the soft tapping coming from the stairs. He glanced up and only to be stunned by her appearance. He looked at his subordinates again and ask them about the situation.

"Why is she out? I thought i told you to locked her up inside the room." Before he could get any answer, he heard her chuckled. He turn towards her who's sitting on the sofa acting like it's her house.

"Because i don't want to be locked up." She answered smugly. The man approached towards her and glared. He intended to wipe that smile off her face by pinching her chin only to be stopped by her next word.

"I wouldn't do that if i were you. Dylan wouldn't like it if someone touches me."

"Oh, then where is Dylan now? He couldn't even stop me from kidnapping you."

"You think he can't? Then you'll have to wait next week. I intend to make him anxious at the moment before i send him my whereabouts." The man was startled. Why is this woman is not showing any sign of being scared or anything. Instead she's the one who's controlling the situation. Lyla was bluffing of course. She just needed time for Dylan to crack the code because she forgot to make it easier.

"Did you guys search her up?" He turned towards his subordinates. That's the mistake on their part considering she was being very cooperative, they forgot if she have any tracking devices on her. But, she look just like a plain pregnant women which is why they didn't even bother to do any. Seeing his subordinates shook their head, he wanted to lash out again. However, he was stopped before he could do anything.

"Do you have ice cream? I'm really craving for ice cream right now. Because of you, i didn't even get to eat the ice cream that i bought just now. And i'm really annoyed at this moment. You wouldn't like it if i'm annoyed. Either you give me the ice cream right now or i'm going to do something that you'll regret. I want the exact ice cream that i bought just now." She demanded. She couldn't hold it in any longer. Her craving starts to kick up.

"Why should we listen to you? You're the one who's supposed to do what i say. Someone, lock this woman inside the room and don't let her out. You're not going to see your husband anymore nor are you going to have what you wanted. I'm going to make your life living in hell." He threatened. Lyla just look at him grudgingly and her vicious heart starts to emerge. Without any warning, she starts wailing, loudly. Enough to make the man and others flinched and cover their ears. No matter how they threatened her to stop and try to touch her, she starts behaving like a lunatic pregnant woman. Thrashing the whole place. The expensive vase in that living room are shattered into million pieces when she hurled it towards them. Not one manage to calm her down or took a hold on her as she took pieces of the sharp vase and aim it to her neck. No one should mess with a craving pregnant woman. In the end, after what seems like forever, the man finally concede. He asked his man to buy every ice cream in the city within half an hour. He wonder how did Dylan manage to handle his own woman craziness. Looking at his messy living room and the wailing pregnant woman is making his head hurt somehow.

The moment Lyla saw her ice cream, she finally stops wailing and took the ice cream that she wanted and obediently went to her supposed to be prison room. Before she go, she turned around and look at the lonely looking man. He was looking at her too. She smile.

"Thank you Braxton Jones. I know you're a good man. Whatever happen between you and Dylan, i really hope the both of you can solve it. Do you believe in everything you listen to from other people instead of his own word? Sometimes, no matter how great you are, you are just a pawn from someone's chess game." With that, Lyla walked up the stairs to her room leaving Braxton speechless. He never mention his name nor anything so how did she know about him? Did Dylan talk about him to her? His gaze never falter from the stairway even though Lyla is no longer there.
