Chapter one
John laid a hand on his temple and massaged it in circular motions. “John you have to understand where I am coming from. We just aren’t the same anymore and you can’t keep pretending that we are meant to be together when it’s clear we are destined to live apart.” Monica said to her husband. Monica sat in a chair in front of his desk and he sat in his comfy big boss chair across from her. Together the discussed divorce in his home office.
“Destined to live apart?! Who’s feeding you this crap? Monica I love you and we’re going to have a baby together. Does this mean anything to you at all?” John pleaded running a hand through his hair.
“I care about you so much John and while I want to say I love you I can’t say I love you because I just don’t love you the way I used to…. And John… You need to know… We aren’t having a baby together. This baby will not be born!” Monica told him while laying a hand on her flat stomach.
John’s heart sank and his throat clogged. “Don’t you dare think about that!”
“I’m not thinking… I’m doing! The abortion is next week along with the divorce lawyer who will serve you with papers. Sign the papers John and let’s get this over with. We walk away free of anything, no arguments.” She said getting up. She looked at him for seconds before grabbing her bag and walking out. John listened as she walked around the house in her clicking high heals. Before soon he heard the front door close and he knew she was gone and not returning.
John sighed and put his head down on his desk. He wondered where it was Monica suddenly felt the need to end heir relationship. He thought they were happy together and he thought she loved him. He wanted that baby so badly and now he wouldn’t have it. He was so angry at her and so sad about the child. John was against abortion and obviously she was fine with it.
Just then the sound of glass breaking caught John’s attention and his head bounced up quickly. The glass crunched and he heard some one moving around. Sitting their he considered ignoring it and putting his head back down but something told him he just couldn’t. More sounds sounded and John knew some one was taking his things as the stuff clanked together.
John pulled back his draw and reached for his gun. He held it in his hand and embraced the power he now had. The metal was cold to the touch of his heated hands. John stood up and walked to his door way. He reached for the door knob and held it for a second. He looked at the gun and then up at the ceiling. He hoped God wasn’t watching.
John opened the door and stepped out fearless of what would face him. He walked across the hall and into the kitchen. From the kitchen he used the small window way to look into his living room. Their was a person dressed in black with a ski mask and holding some sort of device that was now attached to his safe. The person had their back to him and John saw it as the perfect opportunity to catch the person red handed. John picked up the gun and aimed it at the person.
“You got me at the wrong night” he said to them and pulled the trigger. The gun made a loud sound that could scare anyone. The bullet fast as ever went directly to the person and into their upper shoulder. The woman screamed and went down. A woman? John tuned back into what he was doing and gasped. He shot a woman who was robbing him after his wife left him. What was his life coming to?
John sighed and dialed 911 on his cell.

“I’ll do anything. Just don’t hurt her!” Dawn screamed at the intruding men who held her sister in their arms.
“Fine, we exchanged your sister for you on the terms that you come with us and you don’t disagree. You try anything slick we’ll send some one to blow her brains out. Understood?” He said his voice menacing.
“Understood… let her go now.” Dawn said looking at her sister’s facial expression that read her pain and fear. The men let her go and she came flying to Dawn. Dawn hugged her and pushed her to the side. “I have to go now Annie.” Dawn said to her sister yet did not look at her. “If I never come back I need you to know I love you. Do good ok?” Her eleven year old sister nodded her head and wiped at her tears.
Dawn and Annie were ten years apart and all their lives Dawn had been there to lead Annie. Dawn had no idea what she was getting herself into and what would happen to her sister after she left. Both her parents were dead and Dawn was all that annie had left. She knew leaving her would be painful but she was ready to do anything to prevent them from hurting Annie.
Dawn followed the men out of her sister’s room. Her sister stood behind crying in her bed. Together Dawn and the men left her home and they led her into a van. Once in the van Dawn’s bravery died down and her tears came down. They tied her arms behind her back and taped her mouth. Taping her mouth wasn’t such a problem for Dawn because the tape helped her hold back the sobs.
Dawn thought of reasons why this was happening to her and only one reason and person made sense. He was devil in person and he was the reason her life went downhill. Dawn’s life was going good until her parents died. Even then life only seemed sadder but it wasn’t bad. She moved in with her sister and decided to raise her. It had worked for a year until she met Devin. His name was one letter away from devil and now she understood why.
Devin ruined everything and every one in her life. All that she had left in her life was an apartment she could barely afford and her sister. Even now here she was without her sister and being kidnapped. If ever she was given the opportunity to change one thing in her life it would be the minute she set her eyes on Devin Asparza.
Suddenly a bolt of electricity hit her and her vision went black. She was out. Possibly hours to days later she finally reopened her eyes. She blinked a couple times trying to look around. Her muscles were sore as she sat up and took in her surroundings. She was on a not so comfortable bed and next to her was another bed. There was a metal door and a light that wasn’t the best ever.
“Morning sun shine” said a woman who Dawn suddenly noticed occupied the bed.
“Where am I?” Dawn asked.
“Home. Welcome to the family. You’re now illegal status.” The woman smiled and looked away.

“The justice system just isn’t always right.” John’s lawyer said to him.
“No the justice system definitely isn’t because I shouldn’t be in this fucking situation! How could the jury find me guilty!? She was robbing my house!” John said slamming his fists on the visitor’s table.
“It happens…” His lawyer said sitting back. “I do have good news. Monica kept the baby. She’s going on seven and half months now.”
John looked at the man no smile on his face, only tears forming in his eyes. “How is that good? My child wont know who daddy is because I’m serving time for shooting a pregnant woman… who was robbing my home! I might not get out of here for another five to ten years.”
“Well I’ll make sure that baby knows who you are. We’ll make sure the minute you are out you get your fair share of visitation rights.” He said trying to comfort John.
“Because they always grant visitation rights to convicts.” John said all hope gone from him.
