Adair’s Point of View
It’s the middle of the night and he still hasn’t called. The wind screeches outside like a wolf at a full moon, with the storm being to stubborn to die out. The wait is starting to play with my patience and I’m ready to break a wall.
“Get some rest Alex, it’s been a long day for you.” Julian says eyeing my dishevelled state.
My clothes are rumbled thanks to the rain and I’m pretty sure my eyes have bags under them right now. Since we got back from Italy I haven’t taken a single moment of rest and it’s starting to take a toll on me. There is no denying that I am tired, but the adrenaline in me is what’s keeping me still going.
“I don’t need rest, I need him to find him.” I grumble.
Julian puts his hands up in surrender knowing that I’ll do what I want and goes back to typing on his computer.
“What are you even

“Dad.” I breathe.“What the hell.” Nick says, astonishment written all over his face as he hovers closer to the screen.This whole time he’s been living in the same building as me for who knows how long and not once did I ever come into contact with him. He’s the one who went into my penthouse and destroyed it, his repulsive hands touched all of our things. He’s the one whose been following me around this entire time and taking pictures.I thought when we left him, we left him for good, but here he is today wrecking havoc into my life again.

We spend the next couple hours planning our moves. It’s to risky to tell the police to go and arrest Marc since he has hostages and could hurt them. Instead, we all agree to Julian getting in touch with under cover police officers and keeping them around Marc’s location so he doesn’t escape. This way we’ll know where he is at all times while my mom and Anna stay safe and we can figure out how were going to get to him.While Julian talks to the Toronto police, Adair gets in touch with his media representatives and gives them the details about me dropping the case. The news needs to play exactly at 5pm, otherwise he’s going to hurt either Anna or my mother.While Nick speaks to Mariam, updating her about Anna’s disappearance, I use this time to talk to Aunt Meg and Cole.“We’ll bring her home safe.” I assure them both.“I’m sorry Sarah. You trusted me to keep your mom safe and I couldn’

The sun now hangs in the blue sky and the once quiet street is now buzzing with cars and people.I went back with Nick since my clothes were at his house, while Adair went to his office despite us pestering him to get some rest and freshen up. While Nick is helping Mariam make breakfast, I use this time to tell Aaliyah everything that’s going on and to talk to Andrew to keep her safe at all times.“What the hell.” She whispers in astonishment as I finish telling her everything that happened from when we were in Italy to now.What the hell has started to become everyone’s go to statement when they hear about this twisted case.“Right.” I say a pained chuckle escaping me.Saying the whole thing out loud makes it even worse for me. As much as I want to be strong, my heart rips apart every time I think about my mom being in his presence again.“She’ll be okay. I know she will be.” Aaliy

Marc sends Adair the details for the transfer right away. Adair talks to his personal assistant who’s in charge of finances to have the transfer scheduled for 5pm. Although we aren’t letting him get away with the money, it’s a back up plan just in case. I don’t like just in cases, but we can’t risk anyone’s safety and especially knowing him he’ll do anything to get his way.Julian goes back to the police station to get his team ready for the raid and said he’ll get in contact with the Toronto police to let them know that were leaving for Toronto in a bit.For some reason my mind keeps drifting back to the apartment. I don't know why since we've already checked around and found nothing, but my gut is telling me that there's something that we might have missed to check, and this time I don’t ignore it.I’ve always been a go with my brain type of woman, but this feeling is jabbing inside of me like a knife

Adair’s Point of ViewFor the last twenty minutes I’ve been trying to call Ms. Carter and she hasn’t been picking up. I contacted Aaliyah, Andrew, and Yasmin just in case she went back to the office but no ones heard from her.Not until Nick told me where she went.“WHAT THE FUCK? AND YOU LET HER GO ALONE!” I roar fuming in anger.Nick stands in silence with his head bent low and I continue to yell at him at how stupid he could be for letting her go alone. All this time I haven’t ever let her go anywhere by herself because of the danger and right now when stakes are high, Nick of all people, let’s her go alone.“I’m sorry, but she said she would be right back.” Nick mumbles. “And you told me to talk to the bank person.”I take deep breathes trying to get myself together. I want to punch Nick square in the face right now, but if I did Mariam would eat me

My eyes slowly open as I try to adjust to the dim light that hangs above me. A sharp pain shoots at the back of my head causing me to wince. My head throbs in pain and I feel like I’ve been hit in the back of a head with a metal baseball bat. My eyes travel down to my hands and I realize that both my hands and feet are tied tightly to the chair with chains.I try to break free, but it only makes it worse as the chains dig even deeper into my skin causing me to yelp in pain.I look around for help but the place is completely empty. It’s freezing cold and smells like a wet dog. A tiny window near the top of wall lets in a small stream of light and through there I can tell that it’s already night time. Where am I? I scream for help, anyone who can help me at least get these chains off me, but I go mute once I realize what happened. Everything comes back to me. It was Anna who hit me in the back of the head right when I was

Adair’s Point of ViewEver since I left New York I’ve been counting down the time to reach Anna’s place. Time is slipping away and I don’t know even know if Ms. Carter will be there. My heart is telling me that she is, but my brain is telling me otherwise, and it’s driving me fucking insane.I can’t believe that this entire time Anna was playing with me. I could smell a snake a mile away, but this time a snake was right under my nose and I didn’t even know it.“She played me so well.” I growl taking a sharp turn at the lights, the empty street taunting my stupidness.I’m only five minutes away from her place and the anxiety that grows inside me is one that I’ve never experienced before. My body feels restless and my chest heaves up and down as breathing becomes difficult to do.When my sister went missing I felt like the world was torn away from me and now, kno
