Riley was busy checking her schedules and her upcoming movie premiere. The production team decided that they will show the movie on Christmas day. Thus, Riley was both nervous and excited at the same time. It was her new movie after all and she was even the female lead.

"Riley, did Shein contact you?" Jillyanna asked. "I am trying to reach them but no one is answering. I don't want to get nervous for nothing."

"Don't worry, sis. Shein just sent me a message and that they're on the way home."

"Okay." Jillyanna clenched her phone and tried contacting Shein as well. However, no one picked up her call but, she received a message from him.

"We are on our way home." This was what Shein sent her after she ended the dialed call.

"Something's wrong." She murmured and read the message again. "Riley, can I see the message that Shein sent you."

Riley didn't know what was going on but she felt that something must have happened for Jillyanna to ask for her phone. Riley handed her mobile phone, displaying her conversation with Shein earlier.

Shein sent a message around six in the evening that they were wrapping up everything and was about to go home. Half an hour after, he sent another message that they were on their way home. Another hour had passed and he sent the same message to Riley. And the same message that Jillyanna got from him as well.

"No! No way! This is just a joke!" Jillyanna dialed the number again and when someone picked up the phone, it was suddenly disconnected. No matter how many times she dialed the number, no one was picking up her call.

She tried calling Travis and it was the same thing. Their phones were off.

"Sis! What happened?! Please calm down! Sis!" Riley was starting to panic as well. Jillyanna was getting paler and she was clutching her chest.

"Get.. me a.. glass of water." Jillyanna ordered in between gasps. Riley ran as fast as she could towards the kitchen. Jillyanna was didn't want to believe her own conjectures. She didn't want to think anything about it. She didn't want to think! No! She wanted to blank out her mind!

Riley returned with a glass of water in her hand. She was just about to hand the water when she saw the picture on Jillyanna's phone. Horror struck her dumb!

"This..this..is.." Jillyanna turned around to face Riley, her tears were falling down on her face. "This is just..a joke..right?"

Riley stood in front of her sister with gaping mouth. She was stunned and scared of other possibilities. "It can't be true. What about Shein? Where's Shein?" She grabbed Jillyanna's phone but there wasn't any picture of her boyfriend.

Jillyanna's eyes rolled back and she fell. Before she would hit her body on the floor, Riley came to block her and cushioned her sister with her own body.

She didn't notice that she threw the glass of water and Jillyanna's phone to save her. The glass shattered and jolted everyone awake.

"Help! Help!" Riley shouted at the top of her lungs and everyone came out with their robes on and mismatched slippers. "Call an ambulance! No! Drive the car to the hospital!" Riley ordered and Jackie ran out without bothering to change her slippers.

"What happened here?" Sky ran towards her daughter and checked her pulse. "She's getting weaker."

Lucian was still wearing his pyjamas and wasn't fully awake but seeing the red spot right underneath Jillyanna, he didn't think of anything before carrying her out.

Riley got blood on her thighs as well when she blocked Jillyanna from falling. They shards of the broken glass were scattered on the floor and she stepped on some of them. Her palms were also leaned on some of the shards as well as her butt.

Jackie drove the car and Lucian went inside with Riley. She supported Jillyanna's back while Lucian do the cardiopulmonary resuscitation. She wasn't aware of the wounds on her palm at all. Her mind was a mess and she was still thinking about Shein and Travis.

Back inside the house, Jade was crying non-stop when she saw her mother lying on the floor with a pool of blood. She saw the mobile phone on the ground and picked it up.

She just picked it up and not a minute later, the phone dropped once again. Her tears didn't stop falling and she didn't dare speak at all.

Cielo wanted to know what was on the phone and what exactly happened to Jillyanna. Knowing that she was pregnant, Alex grabbed the phone and didn't let his daughter see it.

Three guards followed the car that Jackie drove. The remaining people were torn as to what they should do.

"Stay here." Alex ordered his daughter. "Don't think too much. You are pregnant, too. I will come to the hospital with Jenny. Sky, make sure to stay with Jade."

Jade opened her mouth but no words came out. She wanted to scream but she couldn't. The picture traumatized her and the sight of her bloody mom added to the impact.

Alex also checked Jillyanna's phone and saw the horrifying photo. If he wasn't healthy, he would've died in shock as well.

"Where's Travis and Shein?! Why didn't anyone call them?!" Cielo yelled when she realized the two were missing. They should've been home by now but not even a shadow can be seen. A horrible thought sank in her and she paled. "It can't be, right? It's not what I am thinking, right?"

But no matter how she think about it, only Shein and Travis were missing. No one can shake Jillyanna to the extend that she'd faint and bleed aside from her family.

Something must have happened to them!

Sky was trying to calm Jade who was hiccuping and sobbing from pain. They were all worried and the child was still young to see something so horrifying.

Alex and Jenny didn't bother to change their clothes. They walked out of the house to follow Jillyanna to the hospital.

When they arrived outside the emergency room, Alex felt his knees go weak and he stumbled. The person they thought had died was there, seating on a bench with his eyes closed.
