as a child. I shouldn’t be held responsible for his actions when I hadn’t seen him in . . . in sixteen years,” I stuttered. “I only learned his true identity a couple of days ago. I have no interest in him. I’m in love with his friend, Matt . . .” She interrupted me.
    “I know all about the doctor. Eric filled me in on all the sordid details.”
    “Then you know I have no interest in Brady.”
    “But he has an interest in you, and you’re enough for me to hurt him.” She smiled deviously.
    “I have one question, Aida or Mila, whatever you call yourself . . . Were you the mastermind who orchestrated everything to get me closer to Brady?” I asked. She looked perplexed. “Did you know Brady wanted me before or after I worked at Liberty Inn?”
    “That’s two questions, Perlita. My, for someone who is a numbers person, you sure don’t know the meaning of one question,” she smirked. I took a deep breath, restraining the angry feelings she elicited from me.
    “Your husband and Brady were thrilled you got the job at Liberty. They waited patiently until you learned the inner workings of the business before approaching you. They kept a detailed report on you. They’re shrewd businessmen. The texts and emails they exchanged about how they would get you to help them purchase the Inn. Brady planned your seduction until divine intervention sent you to Dr. Keene. Brady was livid, trying every means, short of having your husband taken out, to keep him away from you. But his loyalty to Dr. Keene kept him from doing something heinous and beneath his new found social and financial status,” she informed.
    I was appalled and frightened for Matt and myself. Could Brady really have harmed Matt?
    “Little did they know, I was even more impatient for you to get with Brady. You foiled my plan by going with the doctor. I didn’t know what to do because the point was for you to get with Brady. I mean his modus operandi is to find a foolish female within the company to seduce, and you were no longer an option. How was I to exact my revenge?” She asked coyly.
    “When we first attempted to get you, we had no idea your boyfriend had a security detail on you. Your husband was so clever to never communicate through Pentagon’s network. Eric had to backtrack and found out about your driver and two guards and their security schedule. Your doctor had covered all his bases. I was not pleased by the interception.” She said.
    My mind swirled with the things she knew as ‘dead woman’ while I lived in complete oblivion. I looked out the window, drowning out the sound of her voice. She must’ve realized I wasn’t paying attention and she snapped me out of my reverie, preferring to think of Matt.
    “Thinking of Brady?”
    “No! I’m thinking about my husband. I miss him. He’s the only man I’ve ever thought about.”
    “My, how quickly you could move on from your lengthy marriage to my brother.”
    “Let’s not revisit why your brother and I are no longer together. Tell me, will I ever get back to my new husband?”
    Aida stopped speaking and looked out the window. I pressed too much. She gave me more information than she wanted to share. I sat back and reflected on all the information she provided me. I didn’t want to spend my last moments with Aida. I didn’t want to lose my life with the woman who incited all of my problems. She set off these turn of events, leading me to this moment. A large tear streamed down my cheek, feeling it when it dropped coldly on my cleavage.
    When the pilot announced our initial descent, he stated we would go through Customs. A ray of hope shined on me for a moment. Without a passport, I wouldn’t be permitted to enter. I could alert the agent of my captivity, and be detained. I wanted to be separated from them. we could be detained separately and give me the opportunity to expose my abductors. I didn’t dare look out the window for fear of plummeting to my death, but it would have
