Getting back to the house, there was a sudden leap of excitement in my steps. As he parked and carried Arya's sleepy self in with me following with our bags, I could not help but picture how much we looked like the picture perfect family.

I soon began to reminisce on a special moment in our lives.

"When you kiss me like that you know I stop thinking," I told him one night as we stayed cuddled up in the confines of his bedroom. It was embarrassing for me to admit that. What was I thinkin

    Nothing could beat the fulfillment on Tasha's face when she saw the news. Now they just had to wait for the transfer. Her phone rang just then."You kidnapped her too soon. If you release her now, how are you so sure they would not go ahead with the marriage?""You worry too much." She laughed. "They would be too scared to do anything. I have a reliable source who tells me that they are not in good terms and she is preparing to move out of the city. No girl wants to be with a man that comes with so much drama. And there's no way he would be married by his thirty fifth birthday."His deep rumbling baritone filled her ears once again. "Your plan had better work. Release the girl two days from now.""Yes I will." She smirked.What he didn't know was that she was waiting on the cash transaction so she could give Malik his cut and then they would let the girl go.~"Tasha I just want this to end already." He growled lowly, trying to not wake Chloe who had stirred in her sleep a few times.

    The notifications would not stop coming when I opened any our social media apps. We had announced the end of our engagement to the press and of course they had taken it up. "What happened?" Maya asked when I finally took her call."This was a bad idea." I said, holding back my tears."I'm so sorry. I wish I could hug you." She empathised with me, sounding as devastated as I would be if this was not just a ploy to save my daughter."I'm going to be in Atlanta soon." I let her know."What about Arya?" "Xander is working on the transfer to the abductors and once she's released, we'll move." By 'we', I meant Arya and I would leave Los Angeles because her father and I had broken up."I'm sorry Olive. This is too much for you." "Thank you. I have to go now." I said, my voice heavy with emotion at the worry in her tone.As soon as I dropped the call, my brother's call came in. "Hey Roy,""I just saw the news." He said, going straight to it. "Are you okay?""I don't know." I said honest

    The rustic sounds of farm animals filled her ears and the stench of cow dung all over the field had her nose scrunching up in irritation. Why did he have to pick this place as a hideout? Her fancy cowgirl boots were not cut out for this place."This place stinks." She said, making her way further down the compound. "Bones!" She yelled for the guard manning the entrance."Where is she?""Upstairs with him."Briskly, she mounted the stairs, letting her footsteps echo on the wood boards of the sparsely furnished house."I didn't know you were here." Her lips curled into a wry smile as she spotted him carrying her over his shoulder."I just came in. What have you been feeding her?" He asked, sounding accusatory. "Food."She dropped the grocery bag to show that she had not been starving the girl."I already got her something to eat.""Okay daddy." She teased with mockery tainting her tone."Arya is just a child and she is not the enemy." He said, not finding any of it funny."Yeah I know.

    So all this time he was using me? Furiously, I packed my bags, dumping different things into my suitcase without caring to check or fold them neatly. There was no way I would be under the same roof as him with all I just heard.The shrill sound of my ringtone filled the air, causing me to stop whatever I was doing. It was nonna. I contemplated not picking up but caved in at the last ring."Olive," Her voice was gentle, without its usual excitement ever since she found out about the unfortunate happenings around us. But her call was timely. Xander had told her for sure."You knew about this?" I asked, going straight to the point with no pleasantries."Olive," she called again. I shook my head, "Nonna you knew he was deceiving me all this time?""Olive you know he loves you. There's no doubt about it.""I don't know what to believe anymore.""He did not want to do it. I pushed him to.""Nonna you do not have to take the fall for him." I said."Why would I? I would throw him under the

    My jaw ticked as soon as I spotted him hugging my woman."What are you doing here?" I asked in a controlled tone. I was trying to not be hostile but I could not help it."Xander, nice to see you again." He said with a curt nod in my direction.I immediately pulled Olive to my side, ignoring his salutation. He smiled, "I just came to offer my condolences. I'm sorry about what happened to Arya. Any news from the abductors yet?""That's none of your business." I said in a clipped tone."Xander!" Olive whisper yelled. I ignored her and faced the man who kept talking."I could be of help. I know a few people who can easily crack this case.""I have enough connections for that and I assure you all hands are on deck to find my daughter." I turned his offer down. Malik shrugged in a way that proved that my dismissal had fallen on deaf ears. "Fair enough. I'm one call away if you need me." He said to Olive, giving her arm a slight, meaningful squeeze before excusing himself.I glared at her.

    I had cried so much, I could not breathe properly anymore. "My daughter! You need to find my daughter!!!" I frantically screamed, holding on the police officer like my life depended on it. It took a lot of effort from Xander to pry me off the officer who seemed to be unfazed by my antics. Of course he understood that I was a mother who was in desperate need to find her child. "Xander my baby, where is she?" I turned to him probably with a crazed look in my eyes. I was a mess. "We'll find her." He assured me, even though he looked as lost as I was. "Where could she be?" I asked, like he would have any idea. He made me sit while he gave his statement. The detective came to me after I had calmed down a bit. "Now madam, I understand you're a bit shaken, but I need you to tell us what happened." My body raked with sobs as Xander held my hand and tried to calm me down. "I went to her school to pick her up as usual and she was running towards me. Then out of nowhere, this blue sed
