My palms grew moist and slick as I looked around. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and checked the location. I was at the place where they’d asked me to meet, but I couldn’t see anybody.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, I dialed the number. I gritted my teeth in annoyance when the call was unreachable.

My mind started racing with different thoughts. What if someone was just playing a sick prank on me?

But I saw a picture of the twins.

    Chapter 115Julian Cross ~•~ Daniel asked me to follow him into an abandoned warehouse in the deserted area. For a moment, I hesitated because I was scared of what he might do. At the same time, my kids would be there. Before I could make a decision, he grabbed my arm and forcefully dragged me in the opposite direction. I yanked his hand away. “Stop… you don’t have to use force.” He glared at me. “Don’t you understand what is happening right now? You’re my captive and you would do whatever I say,” he said in a cold tone. “If you don’t listen to me, you’ll only be endangering the lives of your kids.” I took a slow breath. “Fine. I’ll follow you.” He stood beside me, his gun placed on the back of my head as he directed me to walk forward. “And I want you to know that if you lied about the police, I’ll kill you and your kids.” If I had known I was walking into a trap, I would have made better decisions. I wouldn’t have shown up at the location alone. In no time, we got into t

I was at the place where they’d asked me to meet, but I couldn’t see anybody. Letting out a frustrated sigh, I dialed the number. I gritted my teeth in annoyance when the call was unreachable. My mind started racing with different thoughts. What if someone was just playing a sick prank on me? But I saw a picture of the twins. Or did I waste too much time and they decided to change their minds? God. I was exhausted and scared at the same time. The place was a deserted area. There was nobody I could even ask questions to. After a while, I decided to text the number. [ I am at the location. Where are my kids?] I stared at my phone for a few minutes, but I didn’t get any response. It took everything in me to hold myself back from punching my car’s steering wheel. A few moments later, my phone started buzzing. I hoped it was the kidnappers, b

    Chapter 113Aria Blake ~•~ “Ma’am, where is your husband?” As I heard the officer’s voice, I stood up from the chair immediately. I didn’t bother correcting the officer about Julian not being my husband. “He went out to talk to one of you,” I answered, forcing my voice to sound steady. I had no idea what Julian had told the cops, so I didn’t want them to know that something else was happening. “One of us?” The officer asked, his brows slightly furrowed. “We haven’t seen him.” My lips parted. I instantly knew that Julian had deceived me. He didn’t go outside to talk to the officers, he probably went to the location the kidnappers had sent to him. What was he thinking? “There are a lot of cops here, maybe he talked to someone else,” I lied through my teeth, covering up for him. “I’ll call him and see.” “Sure. Do that. We need to talk to him.” With that, the officer left. I didn’t bother asking him what he wanted to tell Julian. The only thing I was interested in was knowing

    Chapter 112 Julian Cross ~•~ [ If you want your kids back, meet me at this location.] The text message was followed by a pin of the location. My heart slammed against my ribs and sweat beaded on my forehead despite the air conditioning in the room being on. My fingers tightened around the phone as I stared at the screen, reading the message over and over again as if the words would magically change. Harper was still inside the interrogation room, and if she was the actual culprit, how was someone else texting me with the location of my kids? Before I could process everything, another text message came in. It was a picture. A picture of Isla and Owen. It felt like the breath had been knocked out of me. My kids were sitting on what seemed like a really cold floor. [Don’t ask questions. Don’t show the police either. Or this photo will be the last you see of your kids.] My legs began shaking. It had to be some sort of sick joke. If Harper didn’t take them, who would have taken

    Chapter 111Aria Blake~•~ Harper kept screaming and saying she was innocent as the police officer escorted her into the backseat of the car. If I didn’t know about all the other things she had done, I would have believed her. But we all knew she would never admit to taking the kids until there was concrete evidence against her. “Do you think she is telling the truth?” Julian asked after the cars drove away. “I can’t believe you’re asking me this,” I muttered under my breath. “Are you having second thoughts?” He shook his head immediately. “No, I’m not having second thoughts. I just want to be careful,” he answered. “I mean, what if she’s telling the truth and we are looking in the wrong direction? Then someone else is out there with our kids, and god knows what they’re doing.” Julian had a point, but I think Harper was lying to get out of the situation. Who else would want to take our kids, and why would they have to frame Harper? It didn’t make sense. Besides, when the polic

    Chapter 110Aria Blake~•~ Julian’s words kept replaying in my head. I felt so stupid because I let Harper play me twice. I was still in a state of denial, but I didn’t want to say it out loud. I didn’t want to believe that Harper would go as low as hurting my kids. There had to be a mistake somewhere. Everything should just turn out to be a coincidence. Julian had been telling me to wipe off my tears for the past five minutes, but I couldn’t control my emotions. I was angry, hurt, and disappointed. The only thing I could do at that moment was cry. He reached for my arms, rubbing me gently. “This isn’t the time to cry, Aria… We need to get to her house before the police get there. Maybe she’ll confess if you confront her.” I wasn’t sure I’d be able to keep my composure if I got anywhere near Harper. I didn’t want to confront her—I wanted to yank her by the hair and force her to tell me where my kids were.“Okay, let’s go…” Julian started the car and drove over to Harper’s hous

    Chapter 68Aria Blake~•~ I had no idea when I began laughing. “Come back to where?” I asked; pressing a hand to my forehead. “Please, don’t make me laugh. I don’t want my head to hurt.” His face went slack. “Aria? Really?” I let out a breath. “I’m going outside to wait for my brother, he’s p

    Chapter 13Julian Cross ~•~ Aria slapped me. She fucking humiliated me in public. If I could take a guess, it was because Angel showed up at the charity gala. But that wasn’t enough reason for her to embarrass me in front of my guests. What she did was way worse, and I didn’t lay a finger on her
