All Chapters of Her Hockey Stepbrother, Her Worst Enemy, Her Beloved: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Maxton's POV. The news had gone super viral of Talia's abduction. One minute, my father tried to stay calm as Mrs Hermen cried to the police, the next minute, everything was suddenly a catastrophe. Micheala made it her responsibility to show the world that Talia needed our help. She announced it to the public by posting the video in her recorder. The School went into a spiral. Nobody could believe Talia was abducted in broad daylight. Mrs Herman wailed for the police to do something, and my father stood answering all the questions they threw at him. Micheala was also asked to be brought for questioning. But aside the question, the buzz words, whispers and the trending hashtags, nobody did anything useful. There was no search party, no in-depth investigation or a raid. The authorities sat behind their tables, their eyes fixed on their computers. The more time they wasted, the more I felt like Talia was closer to danger than we all did. My heart pounded against my chest and my bre

Maxton's POV.“I could have sworn I heard a voice,” his thick voice echoed through the air as the door slowly creaked open. “There is nothing here, dad,” Bambi gruffed. “Now who's being paranoid?” “I'm being cautious,” he took a step in and I clutched my hands on my chest, trying my best to keep mute and stiff behind a large picture collage. “You never know what might happen,” he added. “If I get you, then you are trying to say someone must have snuck past our cameras and the guards by the gate,” Bambi stated. “That's not… you know what? Let's go, I just came to drop this and not get bugged off by you,” Bambi laughed hysterically and gently slapped her father on his arms. “Are you saying I'm too much or what?” “Just fucking leave the room,” I mouthed silently. Sweat beads had begun to trickle down my nose and my chest pumped heavily. “Okay, there's nothing here, but I think it's time you get all this cleared out,” he replied. “That's not my question, but no problem. She's not

Talia's POV. My eyes fluttered open a few minutes back but I quickly shut them back, pretending to be asleep. I was scared of facing them, scared of what they were going to do to me. A loud cry of stray cats rumbled the silence and the men quickly became alert. They hesitated to go outside and check, but after another loud creak happened, the men became alert. They walked out to confirm what the issue was. They were only meant to stay out a few minutes but they took longer than expected. The bald man that was left alone with me began to pace around, panicking and distraught. “What's wrong? This place is supposed to be top secret. They are supposed to be back by now,” he tightened his fingers in his phone, nearly crushing the phone to bits. I couldn't pretend anymore, I opened my eyes and as soon as I adjusted to the dimly lit room, I screamed my lungs out for help. I thought I would scream on for hours, but he pressed his arms against my lips, threatening to unload a bullet thro

Talia's POV. My heart kept pounding against my chest as I was left alone. I thought he would be back in a jiffy but it took more than a minute. And I didn't let that minute pass by without trying to set myself free for the millionth time. I wriggled my hands and my legs. I shook my body violently but there was nothing I could do to set myself free. Whatever kept him occupied, I wished it would keep them busy for a long time until I was finally free. My teeth pressed against my lips until it sunk into my flesh and blood splattered on my dress. “Ouch!” I grumbled silently. “Come on, let loose,” I cried, hitting my back against the chair but that did nothing but cause me more pain. Hope never felt so close when I heard the faint sound of a police siren travelling through the air like a lost raider. Tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn't believe it. They had finally found me, and if they acted fast, they would actually get the kidnappers. “I'm here,” I cried, struggling harder. “So

Talia's POV. “Yes, it's true. Everything Micheala said is true” Deej confirmed. “It has been crazy shit that has been happening since you've been gone. And suddenly, Bambi got so invested in your safe return,” My expression began to crack with anger. I was about to explode on the wrong people. What sort of manipulation was she pulling? She was the one who kidnapped me, who ordered the men to kill me. She hit me regardless of my baby growing inside me. “Bambi cried on live TV?” I asked again to confirm. “Yeah, she was all bloated like a puffer fish and even assumed she was in a complicated relationship with you," Micheala hissed. “Which I find weird because I communicate with Bambi better than you do. I'm like a bridge between you two. I…” Her game was over, but Bambi still found a way to manipulate the controls. She wanted to cover her tracks while I sat and recovered. “I need to see Mr Carter,” I said in a rushed tone. They all stopped and looked at me, their eyes bulging in
