Chapter: Chapter 248 – Where Is She? **trigger warning sexual assault**Nathan’s POV“Send me the location where you are holding him,” I demanded. “I’ll be there right away.”“Are you sure you want to get your hands dirty?” Salvatore asked. “My boys can take care of getting answers from him.”“The fucking bastard took Amelie. What do you think?” I replied.“I’m sending you the location right now,” Salvatore chuckled. “In fact, I’ll meet you there.”I quickly changed into my jeans and a long-sleeved black sweater and headed down the stairs.“I’m coming with you,” Dante exclaimed, getting up from the couch.“No, you are not,” I protested.“Yes, I am stock market,” Dante stated.“No…” I said, but was interrupted.The front door swung open, and Trudy came in holding Eliza’s hand.“Eliza had a bad dream, and she wanted her princess bear,” Trudy announced.“Daddy!” Eliza said and ran over to me. I picked her up and hugged her. “Is Mummy home from her trip yet?”“Not yet, buttercup,” I replied, “but soon. I promise. Look who is here to see you.”“Uncle Dante!” E

Chapter: Chapter 257 – We Have HimAmelie’s POVI sat at the desk in the office and stared at the pile of letters in front of me. I’m actually scared of what these letters say. What if it completely destroys the image of my happy family that I so desperately cling to in my memories?I lay out all the letters in the stack and sort them out in date sequence. My fingers skim over the first letter. Well, here goes nothing.William,Thank you for your letter. I must say I was quite surprised by it. Thank you so much for the compliments. I try to be happy all the time. Life really is too short to be angry or sad. Live in gratitude and lead with kindness has always been my motto. I must admit you are quite charming and funny.ElizabethOk, that one was pretty tame. I pick up the next letter.William,Yes, I’m happily married. My husband Edwin is the love of my life. We have a beautiful, sweet little girl called Amelie. She’s named after my favorite movie. I couldn’t ask for a better family. I’m so sad that you have to endure

Chapter: Chapter 246 – Grey EyesAmelie’s POV“How did you know?” I asked with tears in my eyes.“I heard at the hospital,” Vivian said as she stood up. “It’s weird how sometimes things happen at the perfect time. The door suddenly opens to the clinic as I walk by.”My heart drops to my stomach. She wouldn’t dare kill my baby. Nathan’s baby. Who am I kidding? She definitely would.“Do you think I’m kidding?” Vivian said with a wicked smile.“No, I know you’re serious,” I declared. “What I don’t get is why you hate me so much?”“Really?” Vivian mocked me. “Would you like to know?”“Yes, enlighten me, please,” I scoffed.“Have you ever wondered why Zander has grey eyes and the rest of your family has brown eyes?” Vivian asked.“It’s a genetic throwback to my great-grandfather,” I answered.“Guess again,” Vivian said, crossing her arms.“That’s what it is,” I reiterated.“Nope.”“Well, if you know differently, enlighten me,” I said, rolling my eyes.“Your mother, Elizabeth, was a whore,” Vivian smirked.“Says the woman

Chapter: Chapter 245 – MotherNathan’s POVThis waiting is unbearable. Luckily, the kids aren’t here to see me freak out. Zander and Logan have called a couple of times to see if there are any updates, and Eliza is having a slumber party over at Trudy and Fred’s place. Trudy even told her she gets to miss school tomorrow to help her bake, which made Eliza the happiest five-year-old on the planet.I feel like everyone at the penthouse is walking on eggshells around me because they think I’m a ticking time bomb. Of course, I am. I need Amelie back now. I’ve run my hand through my hair so many times that my hair should be falling out.Kimmy came over to me, standing in the kitchen, and hugged me from behind.“We’re going to find her, Nathan,” Kimmy whispered. “We’re going to find her and bring her back home.”My head dropped to my chest and I sighed, “I hope so, Kimmy. I don’t think I can go on living without her.”“You won’t have to,” Kimmy said, hugging me tighter. “She’s coming home, I just know it.”Tiff walked i

Chapter: Chapter 244 – JonathanNathan’s POVIt had been four hours since Amelie went missing, and I hadn’t heard anything from the police or Salvatore. I was starting to lose my mind. What if we didn’t find her? Worse yet, what if when we found her, it was too late? Both scenarios made my stomach twist in knots. I can’t lose her. We all couldn’t lose her.“Nathan,” Kimmy pleaded. “You have to eat something.”“I’m not hungry, Kimmy,” I informed her.“Nathan, Amelie needs you to be healthy to rescue her. Please just half a sandwich and some soup,” Morgan begged.“I have no appetite,” I stated.There was a knock at the door, and Dante let Trudy in.“Any word yet?” Trudy asked.“Nothing,” I said, running my hand through my hair.Kimmy whispered in Trudy’s ear.“Nathan, sit,” Trudy said and pointed at the dining room table.“Trudy, I’m not…”“I said sit!” Trudy demanded.I sat. Trudy brought me over a small bowl of soup and half of a turkey club sandwich.“You, young man, are not leaving this table until you finish thi

Chapter: Chapter 243 – Salvatore, I Need HelpNathan’s POV“Where is Eliza?” I asked Trudy.“She’s with Morgan,” Trudy said. “Morgan was taking her for supper. I can look after her tonight.”“I appreciate it, Trudy,” I said, hugging her again. “The boys are staying with Grandfather tonight.”“That’s good,” Trudy stated. “Keep them out of this horrible situation. I’m going to go upstairs and call Morgan.”“Thank you, Trudy,” I responded. “I will keep you informed.”I walked over to Maria Garcia. She was sitting on the couch with her little white dog on her lap. Maria looked up from the couch at me and tentatively smiled. I sat on the couch next to her.“Hi Maria, I’m Dr. Michaels,” I said, smiling at her. “I just wanted to thank you so much for telling the police everything you saw.”“I have to help get that poor girl home safely,” Maria said, teary-eyed. “She must be so scared.”“I really appreciate that,” I advised. “That girl is my wife.”“Oh, Dr. Michaels, I’m so sorry for this to happen to your wife, or any girl for that matt
