تسجيل الدخولChapter 120 “You still haven’t told me where we are going,” I turned to Harry “Have some patience, Miss Alia,” he replied with a small smile.“It’s been fifteen minutes, Harry. Of course I’ll be curious.”“We will be there soon and your curiosity will be satisfied.”I narrowed my eyes at him suspiciously.“You’re acting strange.”“Relax, sunshine. A little more patience is all you need.”I rolled my eyes while he chuckled softly.It was such a relief that he still hadn’t said anything about Drew. That was my fear initially before entering the car, but right now the tension had died down. Seems Harry had realized it was best not to talk about it.A few minutes later, the car slowed down beside a small roadside spot.The moment my eyes landed on it, my mouth fell open slightly.“No way…”Harry grinned proudly.The small food stand was still there exactly the way I remembered it from high school.The old yellow signboard and the plastic chairs.I stretched my head outside.That smell…D
Chapter 119Two weeks had passed since the kidnapping incident, but I was still paranoid.The kids were never left alone.I was constantly looking over my shoulder whenever we went outside, wondering if that coward was somewhere watching us.Liam kept to his promise and never told Luna anything.When it was time for the police to question them about the incident, I had spoken to the detectives beforehand and told them not to make it seem they were kidnapped in order not to scare them. I wanted them to feel safe and go on with their normal lives.I also made sure I was present during the investigations.But till now, the man still hadn’t been identified.The police were investigating, but with no real leads, the case was slowly turning cold.And until whoever this person was got caught…I had to keep my babies safe and take no chances.“Alia, I’m sorry I wasn’t there with you when all this happened,” Priscy said softly beside me.“Oh stop it, I understand you were busy.”I had already
Chapter 118 “Harry…” “Care to explain what’s going on?” His jaw tightened slightly. “It’s nothing… I stepped on one of Liam’s toys and slipped. Drew caught me,” I cleared my throat awkwardly. “Hmmmmm…” he let out, still staring at us. I hurriedly walked toward the door. “Mum and Alice will be waiting. Let’s go.” I passed him quickly without making eye contact. Drew followed behind me and soon walked beside me down the stairs while Harry stayed on my other side. I could feel the tension between both men and it made me uncomfortable. We got to the sitting room and I sat on the couch. I finally looked at Harry. The distance between him and Drew felt awkward. His expression was unreadable. Harry must have misunderstood the situation. It really was an accident… But maybe I should have pulled away from Drew immediately after he caught me instead of standing there staring at him like some damsel in distress. I’m sure Harry was wondering why I looked so comfortable in the arm
Chapter 117“Mum… did he kidnap us?”My body stilled immediately.For a moment, the only sound I could hear was the engine and the soft music playing from the radio.I looked at Liam through the rearview mirror. His eyes were fixed on me, waiting for answers, but I didn’t even know what to say.Was keeping this from him really the best thing?Liam was a smart kid. It was only a matter of time before he connected the dots, and if he found out the truth later… he would be hurt that I lied to him.“Mum…” I felt his small hand touch my shoulder. “Don’t worry, you can tell me. I’m not going to tell Luna if you don’t want me to.”I turned slightly in my seat to face him.“Liam, darling…” I held his hand, rubbing it gently. “First thing I want you to know is mummy will always protect you, and I’ll never let anyone harm you.”He nodded quietly.“I didn’t send that man to pick you and Luna up… and he isn’t my secretary. He was an imposter.”His face slowly changed.The small confusion in his e
Chapter 116 Liam and Luna sat at the table beside us, eating their hot dogs. I didn’t want them hearing the conversation I was having with the man who found them. So many questions were running through my head, and this man was the only one who could give me answers. “Thank you… Thank you so much for helping them,” He gave a small nod. “I didn’t really do much… they walked in here on their own. I just thought they were waiting for someone.” I frowned slightly, my heart tightening again. “On their own?” “Yes,” he said. “Sir, can you please tell us all you know? When they got here, did you see anyone dropping them off? Any information will be appreciated.”Drew asked him in desperation. He rubbed the back of his neck, thinking. “Umm… okay. I’ll try. When I saw them sitting alone, I didn’t think much of it at first. It’s normal for kids to wait for their parents here.” He paused. “But I noticed they were still sitting when it was time to close up. When I asked why th
Chapter 115 “Hello…”I heard a male voice over the line.“Hello…” I replied slowly, my heart beating faster.“Am I speaking to Alia?”“Yes… I’m Alia,” I said quickly.There was a pause on the line.Drew looked at me, his face tense, then leaned closer and whispered, “Why isn’t he saying anything?”“I don’t know…” I replied quietly, my grip tightening around the phone.“Hello? Please, if you have my—”“Mummy!” a small voice cut in.I froze, recognizing it immediately.It was Luna.“Oh my God… Luna, darling! Yes, it’s mummy!”My voice broke as relief ran through me. Tears filled my eyes as I turned to Drew, a shaky smile forming on my lips.He let out a deep breath, running his hand through his hair.“Darling, how are you? Are you okay? Where is your brother?” My words came out mixed up.“I’m fine, Mum,” Luna replied, a soft giggle following. “I’m passing the phone to Liam.”A few seconds later—“Hi, Mummy,” Liam’s voice came through.“Liam… baby… oh my son…” I swallowed hard. “Are you
Chapter 52Alia's pov “I’m so glad I’m finally back to doing business deals,” I said to Harry on the phone as I drove to my appointment, my fingers tapping lightly against the steering wheel.“I can hear the excitement in your voice, sunshine.”“I bet you can” I giggled softly “ But I don’t know
Chapter 44Drew turned to Kirah, his body burning with anger. How did she get in, and why was she holding onto him like that? He hated that she was doing this in front of Alia.He glanced at Alia. Her expression hadn’t changed. She looked calm, almost as if she’d been expecting this. That calmness
Chapter 46Alia let out a deep breath. She hadn’t even realized she’d been holding it in until the bathroom door clicked behind her. She looked around. finally, some space. The room was empty, the faint scent of soap and polished tiles calming her slightly.The bathroom wasn’t exactly an escape. S
Chapter 43Drew’s eyes kept drifting to the entrance, waiting to see Alia walk in.“Drew. Drew.”Louis tapped his shoulder, and Drew turned almost immediately.“Yes?”“Are you okay?” Louis asked, studying him carefully.“Sure. Why?”“Your eyes have been on the entrance since we got here.”“Have I?”
