Then what will they do to get through a complicated relationship? Can their love overcome their long-standing hatred?

When Love And Hate Collide Chapter 1 Trapped

"Miss, are you going to the Bronx?" asked the taxi driver as he glanced at Briana sitting in the back seat through the center rearview mirror while she was on her way to the Bronx, United States.

"Yes, Sir! What's wrong?" asked Briana in surprise, returning the driver's gaze through the center mirror as he smiled to himself in the front seat.

"Nothing wrong, Miss! I just wanted to ask if you want to go there; I'll take you there!" said the driver as he sped up the taxi. It was only seven in the afternoon, and the sun was still on its throne. Briana Agatha Palmer was sure that in less than an hour, she could find a new apartment to rent later so that she could return to her old apartment not too late because the sunset was at half-past nine in New York. Briana tried not to care about the driver's question, which sounded suspicious. However, she tried to keep positive thinking.

"Could it be the slums? So the driver is surprised that I want to go there?" she thought as she stared at the street through the car window.

"Thank you, Sir!" said Briana as she exited the taxi that took her to the Bronx while glancing at the watch. "It's half past eight at night; I have to hurry!" she muttered softly as she stared at the area.

The area is the same as other neighborhoods: many houses lined up, salons, coffee shops, and flats, but no apartments like Briana imagined. "Where's the apartment?" thought Briana as she walked down the sidewalk. "Is it still a few blocks ahead?" The girl continued to walk down the sidewalk while looking to the right and left, where every house had several women sitting on the front porch, smoking and giggling, wearing sexy clothes.

"What neighborhood is this? Should I ask one of those women?" she wondered as she approached the woman. "Good afternoon, sorry... may I ask something?" The women giggled and answered in unison.

"What do you want to ask?" they replied flirtatiously.

"Do you know this address?" asked Briana innocently as she showed the paper Felicia had given her earlier. The women giggled again as they read the writing on the paper Briana had given them. They looked her up and down as if they were screening her while nodding, then laughed again and puffed their cigarette smoke upwards.

"Come... I'll take you! Bye ...!" one of the women said as she waved to her friends and took Briana to the address. When they arrived, the building didn't look like the apartment she was currently living in; it looked more like a flat.

"This is the place! Come on! Let's go in!" the woman said again. Briana was hesitant to enter the building, her little heart resisting.

However, she was curious about what exactly this building was. Was it an apartment like Felicia said? "Sorry... is this an apartment? I'm looking for an apartment. My friend told me there's an apartment here," Briana explained as she gazed across the apartment building lobby as she entered.

"You can ask Mr. Hugo later! He's in charge of this area!" said the woman, who dressed up slightly. Briana wondered more and more.

"What exactly is this place?" she fretted because there seemed to be something wrong with the place, especially when a man came out of one of the rooms with the woman who had escorted Briana earlier.

"This is Mr. Hugo; this lady said she was looking for an apartment! Isn't that right, Miss? You can ask Mr. Hugo because he owns this area. Well, I'll leave first! Bye!" said the woman as she waved to Briana and left them.

Briana panicked, feeling anxious and worried, especially when a man who looked like a thug with a muscular body and tattoos all over his arms stood in front of her, staring with a smile that was hard to understand.

"Oh my God. What is this place? I seem to have the wrong address!" she thought anxiously, clutching her bag tightly.

"Hey... Hugo, who is she? New, huh?" asked another man who had just come out of a room with a woman on his arm. "That's pretty good! Very classy!" the man praised as he looked at Briana with eyes full of lust and ready to devour.

Briana became even more agitated; she had just realized she had the wrong address.

"Oh my God, I'm in a brothel; how stupid of me! Why didn't I realize that earlier? But how do I get out of this place?" she thought as she glanced at the door not far from where she was standing. "Sorry, I got the wrong address! Excuse me!"

"Hey... wait!" shouted the man named Hugo. "Get that woman! Don't let her get away!" he called again, followed by his men chasing after Briana, who had run as fast as she could to escape from them.

Briana needed to figure out where to run. She just followed where her feet went while praying silently that she could avoid the ambush of Mr. Hugo's men. The girl continued to dash.

However, the high heels and knee-length span skirt that wrapped her thighs made her unable to move freely. She fell several times and stood up again, injuring her hands and feet; she ignored it. Briana continued to run barefoot because she had taken off her high heels when she fell earlier.

Fortunately, it was getting late, and soon, the sun would return to the sunset, so the asphalt road she stepped on was not so hot, and the evening atmosphere was also favorable for her to hide.

"I have to find a place to hide, but where?" she thought as she looked to the right and left and then sneaked around with a breathless and anxious look. She saw a large rectangular trash can made of steel, which she could hide behind. Briana hurried to hide.

"This is also a span skirt; it makes me unable to move!" she muttered in annoyance as she flipped the skirt from the back to the front, put the back half of the dress on the side, and tore it to the thigh.

"This is better, so I can run faster! I'll take this blazer off, but will I take it? I'll just put it in my bag." Briana quickly put the blazer into the bag.

"Where is that woman? Please hurry up and find her! We can't lose track of her!" shouted Mr. Hugo loudly. "I'm sure she's still around!" Briana's body tingled as she heard Mr. Hugo's booming voice, loud in her ears.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
