August~

It's been two months and still nothing. They had to put the wedding on hold. His mother pleaded with him trying to convince him and her being gone, he could move on and be with Brenda. How much he wanted to kill her, his father, always stopped him. "Where could you be?" He says. He hasn't been able to sleep well and eat right but Naeun or Trey would force him to eat and would always use the line. 'Serenity wouldn't want you like this' 

"Son... may I come in?" He looked up to see his father. "How are you feeling? Besides the usual." He sat down. "I'm still looking." He nods and gets up rolling his sleeves. His heart stopped. He could no longer hear. All he could see was his worse nightmare. His father had the fireball tattoo. He stood up and pinned his father down. "IT WAS YOU!" His father laughed as his son held him against the wall. "It took you long enough." All he could see was red.

"Dude stop!!" Trey tried getting him off his unconscious father. Blood everywhere. "What is wrong with you?" He pants, going wild. "He did this!" Trey let him go "What?" August showed him the fireball tattoo similar to the drawing. "No.."

Naeun soon came and grabbed his father's phone. "Maybe we can track her down with his phone." He suggested as he hooked up the phone to the laptop. He was so pissed. He placed his father in the basement and tied him. "I found multiple red dots in the same area." He looked at the laptop. "One thing left for us to do, we follow it." Naeun says and the two men look at her like she was crazy. "You're not going anywhere." She folded her arms. "My best friend got kidnapped! Who the fuck are you to keep me back here?!" They looked at her and Trey came out "My answer is no."

"So where are we now?" Naeun asked in the back of the car with Trey. "We're here, pull over." We got out the car to see an abandoned warehouse and no guards, "Their first mistake." Trey spoke.They got out the car and went into the building. "It's now or never."

Serenity~

The placed stunk. She wore the same dress from how ling ago. It was torn and dirty. She laid down on a mattress that had blood from her beatings. The day she saw Mr. August walk out, she began crying. She thought she was saved but she was far from that. He beat her and spit on her. He punched her repeatedly when she begged for him to stop. He didn't. She remembered it like yesterday

~FLASHBACK~

She woke up chained to the walls and no one in sight. She started remembering everything that happened and started crying. "Shh it's okay." A familiar filled the room. "I'm here." He came into view. He looked sick and twisted, completely different from his caring state. "Please help me." She cried but all he did was laugh. "Why would I do that? You ruined my plans." He punched her in her stomach before she could process what was going on. She cried out in pain as he continued to hit her. "If it wasn't for you I would have had so much money!" He spat in her face as blood dripped from her mouth. "I hate niggers, good for nothing bitches." He kicked her one more time before he left her there crying and weak. "Put her in her cage." He ordered some men as the darkness took over her.

The steel door opened and she sighs already knowing it was time for one of her many beatings of the day. "I found her!!" Her heart stopped and she didn't dare look up, she thought she was dreaming. "Over here!!" That voice. Her body shook as a dry sob left her lips. Why was a mind playing tricks on her now?

"Serenity, get up, we have to leave." Serenity looked up and saw Naeun. "You're not real." She spoke and laid her head back down. Naeun groaned as gun shots were heard. "Seriously I don't have time for your games! We have to go." Serenity laughed at herself for actually thinking that Naeun was standing right in front of her. "That's it!" Naeun grabbed her out the cage and dragged her. 

"No! Leave me alone! You're not here!" Serenity swung her limbs weakly in attempt to hit her. Naeun ducked as the shots got louder and louder. "Naeun! Come on we need to go!" Trey shouted as she stood at the window. Serenity laid on the floor mumbling to herself. "You're not there."

Naeun looked at Serenity in her eyes and slapped her across the face. "Don't make me mad." With that she threw Serenity out the window as she was caught by Trey. Naeun jumped out the window but got shot in her leg. She screamed as Trey caught her. "Oh shit Naeun!" She put her hand up "We need to leave."

Trey picked up Serenity who was still mumbling and ran trying to find August. "Where did you leave him?" Naeun asked him. "He's bringing the car ar-" He was cut off by a bullet passing by his ear. "She's not going anywhere!" A voice screamed. They turned around to see Brenda holding a gun and shaking. "Brenda put the gun down and think about what you're doing." Naeun said as Serenity came back into reality. She scoffed "I know exactly what I'm doing! I'm taking back what is mine and you people are in my way!"

She laughs crazily as she turned the gun to Serenity. "And I'm starting with you." She was about to pull the trigger but then her body was crushed by a car. "Get in!" August yelled in the drivers seat. They all looked horrified as Brenda bled from her eyes and ears. "Oh you know she dead." Naeun laughed and groaned as they got in the car and sped off.

"August? baby?" Serenity squeaked out. "We'll make this better I promise." He looked at her as she fell asleep.

August~

The police eventually got involved. They were at the hospital as Naeun and Serenity got treated. "Son.." His blood boiled as she turned to see his mother with teary eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I put you through, I'm sorry for all the drama I made but I had no other choice." She choked out.

"You had a choice and you chose wrong." He spoke to her. "Your father was a wicked man, he made me do things I didn't want to." She explained. "Like what?" He asked as she sat down. "Your father made a deal with Brenda's father before he died." He was all ears after that.

"He wanted money, your father was always a greedy man. They made a deal, you father said that you and Brenda would last until death but her father said otherwise." She inhaled deeply and continued. "They bet more than fifty million dollars. When your father saw that you and Brenda were falling apart he killed Brenda's mother and father in that plane. It was all him. He thought that if they were dead then he could still keep his money."

She sighs and looks at her son. "But he was so wrong. They signed a contract and it was already faxed to the lawyers. So if anything had happened to either one of them, the bet was still on. Your father was determined to get you and Brenda together. I begged him and told him that forcing you wasn't right. He said he didn't care." He sat down and listened to her speak. "Your father threatened to kill me if I didn't get Brenda back here. He made me look like the bad one so you wouldn't suspect him of anything."

She held his hand. "I know you might hate me but... I was so over joyed that you had found someone that made you happy. Your father had me acting that way, I didn't want to loose my life! I wanted to tell you so badly but I couldn't. Brenda wasn't any good, I knew that they day she killed that baby boy. I wanted to tell you August." He hugged his mother as she cried and apologized over and over.

"It's okay mum, I forgive you."
