CHAPTER 31
DAMON’S POV
“Where is the girl?” Was the first thing Iasked after I pulled up at the police station and rushed inside. l just wanted to make sure the have the right person so then I can be relieved of Camila’a and Ethan’s safety and also make sure she is put away for good.
“This way Mr. Alexander” One of the police answered to my question Then lead me to a jail cell which held a girl inside. “This is the suspect we caught” he said to me as we now stand directly in front of the prison cell and I peaked inside, taking a glace of the girl’s face, to make sure I recognize her.
The girl didn’t look anything close to the woman that brought Ethan to me.
“What the f ** k is this?!” I asked angrily, Turing to the office and be furrow his brows.
“What is what, Mr. Alexander?”
“What is this?!” I question once more while pointing to the girl in the jail cell and he looked even more confused which made me even more angry. I clench my jaw, glaring at him before going into my pocket and taking out my phone. Opening it, I went into my gallery and scrolled until I found a picture of Anita.
“Does this look like her ?!” I asked, showing his the picture of Anita the made him looked back at the girl, in the cell, to compare them and he replied with a’no’as his answer. I let out a breath, pinching the bridge of my nose while lput my phone away.
“Take me to your boss”
“Right this way sir” he said and directed me to the office of his boss.
“Mr. Alexander!” He greeted me with an out stretch hand, for a handshake but I just left him hanging.
“Look, I don’t know what prank you and your investigators was playing on me but I need you to stop joking around a get f ** king serious!” I began and he give me a confused look.
“What are you talking about?”
“There’s a woma out there who have threatened my son and girlfriend(future wife) and I’m here anxious to see this woman be put away so I can be assure of both of their safety And you guys are out here f ** king joking around ?! “I asked / yelled and he looked even more confused.
“Joke around? What do you mean?”
“Can’t you guys see ?! Are you f ** king blind or something ?! Anyone can see that that woman you have in that jail cell look nothing like the real woman you guys are looking for!” I yelled in anger and he finally understood what I was talking about.
“Oh I’m very sorry for doing that. I think they arrested that girl because she had the same name as Anita and was born in the same country. Don’t worry Mr. Alexander, I’ll search for her and we will find her”he apologized then said and I folded my hands, looking At him.
“I’m giving you one whole week to find her if”
“One week? Mr. Alexander, you know that might take longer than one week we-we can’t do that I-in one week” he began to stutter and I mentally rolled my eyes at him.
“I give you more than a few weeks to find Anita and you found a girl that looks nothing like her! So I’m now only giving you a week. You had enough time to find her instead of joking around.” I said to him and he was just about to speak when I cut him off. “No excuse! I want that girl in a week! And if I were you, I would get started. now” I said then turned around and hurried out of the police station. Entering my car, I let out another breath before I took out my phone to look for Camila’s phone number.
I told her I’ll call her when I’m done, to tell her the news and I knew she wouldn’t like what I’m gonna say to her.
RING RING RING RING RING RING
“I’m sorry this person is not available at the time. You can leave a message after this beep or call again.” Her phone was in voicemail ..
“she asleep already?” I thought with a frown . Anyways, I didn’t think too much of it. I just started my car and drove home.
I was nearing my home and when I saw that it was engulf in total darkness which made me frown on confusion. “This can’t be my house, can it? I never left my house in darkness. Did Camila turned of the lights or something?” These thoughts I had in my head as I approach my house with my car but those thoughts flew out of my head when I saw the front door open and I knew Camila would never leave it open. She was too scared.
“F ** k!” I swore under my breath as fear suddenly came over me and I rushed out of my car and sprinted into the dark house.
“Camila! Ethan!” Was the first thing I shouted for. My heart beat sped up when I heard no replies and I began to panic,
My mind was filled with all sorts of stuff that could have happened to them and I was scared. I made my way into the house and somehow found the light switch, which I turned on and The house lit up but the scenery wasn’t nice at all. Almost all of my bodyguards laid dead on the floor and the rest, injured. I swore under my breath again, running upstairs into one room after the other, checking to see if she or Ethan was there but no sign. No damn sign of them we’re shown.
“Camila! Ethan!” I kept calling. Just hoping that they were here. Just f * king wishing that they weren’t gone but there was no sign of them. “Shit!” I swore again, taking out my phone to dial the investigators then lan afterwards.
“Damon! Where are you? The investigators are here!” Ian’s voice was heard and I let out a breath before opening my mouth to speak.
“I’m up here” I said in a low voice then heard footsteps a few seconds later. It was lan. He send me a sad smile before he sat down next to me and I tired to keep in my tears but it was hard. It was hard cause they are people that I love and I’d die if they are hurt or gone.
“It’s gonna be okay” Ian encourage me, after I think he saw that I was hurt, then engulf me in a hug and that’s when the tears fell.
CAMILA’S POV
“Mommy!” “Mommy!” “Mommy!”
Someone was calling my name but I couldn’t answer. I was trapped in a world of darkness. I couldn’t move my hands, my feet, nothing. My entire body was weak.
“Mommy please wake up!” The little voice continued to cry and every time the voice spoke, I slowly began to recognize whose voice it was.
“Mommy!” And my eyes shot right open after I felt someone shaking me. I blinked away the dizziness then looked up to see A crying Ethan. I waste no time into pulling him in for a hug and began looking for any bruises afterwards. I wanted to make sure he was okay.
“Are you okay? Hurt?” I asked checking his body and he shook his head’no’In reply. Letting out a sigh of relief, I pulled him into my arms once more and began scanning the room right after. We were in a closed room with one door that seems locked, no furniture and a small window that even Ethan can’t fit through and it was shining sun light into the room which told me it was not day time.
“Mom, where are we?” Ethan suddenly asked as my eyes scanned the room and I replied with I don’t know before getting up then helped him up and began walking towards the door. I was trying to find an exit or a way to escape because I just had to. Ethan can’t be here. This is too dangerous for him. I first tried opening the door, which didn’t work, so i went searching the room for anything that can help me escape but unfortunately, the room was empty.
“Mom, are we stuck here?” Ethan voice brought me out of my thought and I sigh, answering his question.
“No baby, we will find a way out, okay?” I wanted to give him hope that we aren’t stuck here so he won’t be all sad and crying.
“Okay but is Dad gonna be okay?”
“I.. I don’t know Ethan” I hesitantly spoke and saw Ethan let out a breath then sadness coming upon him, which made my heart hurt.
“I miss dad. Do you?” He asked again and I hummed in reply before he went on.
“Mom, when will these and people let us go?”
“I… don’t know Ethan” I replied again. I can’t tell him that those bad people aren’t gonna let us go, can I? He’ll only get sadder but it hurts that I can’t answer his questions truly.
“Then are we going to die?-”
“No Ethan, we aren’t. We’ll find a way out of this place, okay? I cut him off right away and he nodded his head.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
