Capítulo 11: Betrayed.
Kendall's POV
I wasn't sure of what I heard, but it was the sound of a siren. That of an ambulance van. I couldn't open my eyes no matter how hard I tried. I felt lame in my limbs. I only hoped I and my baby were safe. I couldn't recall a thing that happened the previous night but waking up at the hospital the following day.
I felt a slight ache in my head as I tried lifting my head up. I wondered how I ended up here in the hospital to begin with. The only thing I could recall from last night was- It was Kayla! I had a drink with her and that was all. What could she have done to me last night? She's the only mastermind behind whatever had happened.
In attempt to get on my feet, I noticed my hands were cuffed to the bed. What's with all these? This could only mean one thing. Something possibly went wrong last night that I can't seem to remember. The fear of my secrets being exposed would be my worst nightmare.
Distracting me from my spiral of endless thoughts, I saw him stomp his feet hard through the door of my ward. I could sense anger in his dark blue eyes. I heard him breathe hard from a distance. I had never seen him act that way in my life. I was frozen deep in terror.
I... I peed on my panties as I shivered in fear. I felt so embarrassed. He was finally standing beside me. I feared he was gonna kill me if I attempted to make any stupid move. I had to be alert.

"You should have figured out why I'm here, am I right?", Adrian asked in his deep masculine voice. His tone sounded more serious than ever. I didn't have the audacity to utter a word. I nodded my head really quick in response.
"Good! Now, I need you to answer my questions. Don't dare lie to me, have I made myself clear?", he asked.
"Yes", I managed to say, but I felt only my lips moved. I was afraid to speak out.
He shot a death stare at me before he spoke up. "Where have you kept my parents?", he yelled loudly. I didn't know what to reply at this point but for sure, I wasn't gonna tell the truth- No matter how hard the situation turned out to be.
I was forced to stammer as my brain couldn't process the right words. "You... your parents?", I asked. He pulled my hair like he wanted to pluck them out of my skull. I could hear myself cry out to him to let go. But he didn't stop, instead, he pulled it harder.
"Don't try act dumb about what I just asked. You know their whereabouts, so why pull up an act?", he asked.
"I... I honestly don't have an idea, Adrian. I'm telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?", I cried out, maybe he could fall for my tears.
"Did you just say believe you? Not again, Kendall. I would be out of my mind to do that", he screamed at me.
I stared at him deeply as I forced tears out of my eyes. I couldn't predict his next move. I just needed to find a way to escape answering his questions. I wished this day never came. I couldn't flee. I was right under his nose.
"You're not ready to say anything, right?", he asked. He finally let go off my hair.
"What else do you want me to say, Adrian? I've told you the truth already, I don't have anything to do with your fucking pa-
Just then, his fingers landed heavily on my face. I felt deaf on my right ear for a couple of minutes. My cheeks had gone extremely red and swollen. I could trace his fingers on my face. It left a burning sensation for a while. His breathe became steamy.
I saw him snap his fingers twice. I wondered what the signal called for, but I hoped it wasn't what I was thinking. I lifted my gaze up to the door where I heard loud foot steps coming from. One... two.. three. Right! I saw three people walk in, two men and a young lady. They were all dressed in the same uniform and long black boots. It was the Armed Forces!
"Arrest her now", I heard Adrian order. What the heck? This couldn't be happening to me. I had promised myself that I wouldn't land in the prison no matter what, but this? I thought about my mum's reaction if she got to know about it. She could disown me. The lady amongst them pulled me out of the hospital bed to my feet and dragged me alongside with her.
I wished Adrian could end this drama and tell me it was a joke. We got to the end of the door and I heard him finally speak up. "Get her released only when my parents have been found, otherwise, I'm afraid she'll get to spend the rest of her entire life rotting in jail", he passed his orders and with that, I was taken out of his sight.
They walked me over to a black police van parked outside the hospital and pushed me in. Didn't they know how to handle a pregnant lady? I needed to act smart so I could get myself out of this mess. I couldn't believe Kayla would betray me. This was the hardest way I learnt to trust no one.
