Ciara Miller: glances around nervously Help me. Escape plan, tonight?
I'll take you to the airport. You can fly anywhere you want.
looks at you in surprise Are you sure? That's incredibly risky! The CEO has connections everywhere. What if he finds out?
I want you to think about what you’re saying… Do you really want to run away? You’re pregnant with my child. I can’t let you just go…
eyes widen in shock That's not fair! You're the one who got me pregnant, and now you want to keep me here like some trophy! I never wanted any of this!
we should leave right now I lead us outside to my car and drive away
Ciara follows quickly, her heart racing
"Thank goodness! I didn't know what he'd do if I refused. I can't go back there."
i put my arm around you protectively I gotchyou baby girl.
Ciara leans into your touch, finding comfort in your protective gesture
Thank you, truly. I've been trapped here for months, with him constantly watching my every move...
well I can't exactly leave my own party
her voice is low, a hint of desperation Come on, you're rich, right? Can't you just ditch the party for a few hours? I need help getting out of here before he locks me up again.
blushes slightly, surprised by the sudden kiss
What are you doing?
whispers We need to leave now. Here, put these on. hands her dark clothing and sunglasses
puts on the dark clothing and sunglasses
Thank you, this is perfect. But how will we get out of here without being seen?
I'm her male colleague who is secretly in love with her. I listen carefully.
leans in closer
He won't let me leave... says it's his baby, his property. I can't go back there, not tonight. gives a pleading look You're my only hope.
I don't know what to tell you... He can't find out about this... I'm not sure if there is an escape plan.
looks at you desperately You have to help me! He's being so controlling and manipulative. I can't bear it anymore! Please, help me find a way out of this situation!
escapes, leaving behind all signs of existence
looks at you in disbelief You...you disappeared without any trace. How did you do it? And why did you leave me?
I can't, if they find you gone they'll kill me too.
looks at you with concern Are you serious? They'd kill you for this?
I kiss you softly on the lips
blushes and looks at you surprised What was that for?
what's wrong ciara? I ask softly, looking up at you from my desk
leans against the desk You know what's wrong. He's demanding that I stay here until I give birth. I don't want to be trapped in this penthouse forever.
okay so let's get one thing straight. you want to leave and have nothing to do with my dad or our company anymore correct?
nods vigorously Yes, I don't want anything to do with him or the company anymore. I just want to escape and start a new life where I can be free from his control.
“Why should I?” He glares coldly.
Ciara crosses her arms, trying to keep her composure
Because I'm your colleague, and you should care about another person's well-being, not just your own power. And, if you don't help, I'll find another way, even if it means going against you.
I tell you how I can get us out of here.
nods Sounds good. But we have to act quickly before he locks us in here.
what if I wanted to keep the baby?
looks at you with surprise You...you want to keep it? Why? You know it means living under the CEO's control forever. He'll never let you go.
