Vanessa's pov.

I was still talking with Shelly when my phone buzzed continuously.

The conversation was so good that I didn't want to leave it. We were planning other ways to get back at Lola, but then the call didn't let us conclude.

"Take the call, it might be Cole."

"I'm not sure who it is."

"That's the more reason you should answer." Shelly faced palmed herself, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Fine, I will take the call," I groaned, picking up the phone and clicking on the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Ma'am, thankgoodness you answered the phone. I have bad news and I'm really scared."

"What is it?" I too had begun to panic and Shelly had also shown a glimpse of worry.

"What's happening?" She asked while I was still on the call.

"It's bad news," I whispered to her before focusing back on the call.

"What is it, tell me what's going on?" I urged the driver. "Is snow ill again?"

"Far more worse than that ma'am . If it was about snow being ill I would have taken her to the hospital," He

    Mary's pov."Are you enjoying your time here?" I asked with a smile. The child moved her focus from the plate of spaghetti and meatballs."Yes, I am, thank you!" She exclaimed with a smile on her face but then, I saw that the girl suddenly became sad."What if dad gets mad at me for coming here with you? You told me we'll go home but here we are." "What if I told you your dad won't mind. He's my friend, don't worry, right?" I turned to Clara who glared at me before smiling at the girl while she nodded positively to my words."I don't know, what if daddy gets mad at me, my classes are almost starting and I'm still in my uniform." "That's no longer a problem, we are going to go into a boutique and pick up some clothes for you. I'm sure you're going to love it." "Are you a kidnapper?" Snow asked me, forcing me to giggle."How can I be a kidnapper if I am very good friends with your dad and your mother." "Anything is possible, I don't trust you," she said, picking up her bag and attem

    Vanessa's pov.We finally got to the venue and before the driver could come to us, we moved out of the car, running to the direct that had called me. He stood in the sun, frustrated as sweat dripped down his forehead."Have you found her?" My eyes darted around in fear while my heart hammered in my chest."No, I didn't find her." His words shattered my heart and I paced around with my hand on my heart. I didn't know what to do. That girl was Cole's life and nothing was supposed to happen to her because he was going to lose it! "Where are you Snow?" I asked, exhaling to calm down. Meanwhile, Shelly came to me with a sad look on her face.She was the only emotional support I had right now since Cole wasn't here."Don't worry too much, you know about your baby right?" She asked and I nodded, pressing my lips together as tears slid down my eyes."Tell me, would we find her?" I asked, hugging her so tight that she wasn't able to breath. I was scared of losing that girl.I didn't want Col

    "Your worst nightmare." I heard her say that but I wasn't afraid. From the look of things, she was rich because she put on expensive clothes and bags. She was even acting like the likes of Lola who knew how to look down on people."Look, the only reason I'm not calling the police on you is because I'm being lenient. I don't want snow to experience any truma from this."And who said I kidnapped her, huh?" He glared at me, her eyes showing me she doesn't give a damn if anything happens to her or not."I don't give a damn about craps like you so you better watch it, is that okay?" "Ma'am, stop. You might end up doing something stupid, let's go." "Let me go Clara!" She spat at her assistant, coming close to me with anger in her eyes. I wasn't going to fight her, but if she dared to lay her filthy hands on me, I was going to show her another side of myself."Ma'am…" her assistant called, but she didn't listen. She pushed me, causing me to move backwards."Learn to stay in your class you

However, she can't tell me because she knew I would flare up.The driver helped us out of the car and as I walked into the man, Clara's voice stopped me. I knew this was bound to happen, there are some lectures she would give to me after what happened at that place, I just knew it."What? At least let me go into the mansion, before you scold me in front of everyone, is that okay?" I asked with a smile on my face."Yes, that's ok." She shrugged her shoulders like she didn't mind, and as soon as we both got into the mansion, she moved to stand close to where I was sitting."At least have a seat, and stop being a bodyguard." I was sometimes rude, and loved the fact that she didn't react to my rudeness. A true example of a worthy assistant."Yes, thankyou." She sat close to me. However, no smiles were found on her face."What is it y

I gulped down the fear in me as sweat formed on my forehead.I suddenly recalled the times I had with that bastard, Sheldon. I pleased him so much. He wanted to keep me forever. I was a wild bitch who could make a man go crazy."Vanessa?" Cole called to bring me back to reality. I zoned out in the middle of his words. I had told him not to let me do this but it felt like his determination was strong. He wanted me to touch him and play with him in the most sensual ways possible."Are you alright?" "Umm, yes. I'm just…" I pressed my lips together, my eyes darting from left to right. His hands firmly held my waist, his eyes fixed on my chest before moving to my face."Vanessa, you're not looking okay. What's the matter. Do you think I have another woman?" He asked, his eyes staring at me with fear in them."No, it's nothing. I speak things from the movies I've watched.

    Cole's pov.I had to send Snow to her bedroom. I was meant to go into the bathroom to freshen up before I would go down for breakfast. It was obvious I wasn't going to the office today because I was really tired, and I also needed to find a way to get Vanessa back.Speaking of Vanessa, could it be that mother came back because of her? My eyes widened when I came out of the bathroom. She was here to ruin my relationship with Vanessa just like she did with my first woman.Anger flooded my mind, and I instantly felt like tearing her apart. As a mother she was supposed to support me, not to ruin my relationships with the woman I loved.Thinking of that alone made me really furious, and I felt like storming to her room to ask her questions, but then, what could I possibly ask her.I moved out of my room, and immediately bumped into one of the maids. She was sorry, apologizing almost immediately, but I didn't have time for that. I wasn't to know why she was here."Why are you here?" I stro

I was going to see the only person who could make me smile at this moment, my little daughter, Snow, and looking at the time, it was obvious that the servants put her asleep.When I got to the front of her door, I sighed, pushing the door open I was greeted by a sad look on her face. Her window wasn't covered by the cutton, and her lights were still on. I knew the maids weren't the ones who did this. She was just too smart, and might have pretended to sleep just to get the maids out of the place.Pushing that aside, I moved to where she laid in the bed like sleeping beauty, her eyes were closed, and her hands were placed togther under her pillow. She was just so cute.Sitting at the corner of the bed, I exhaled, starting a conversation with her just to tell he how rough my night had been."What's wrong snow, I'm doing all I can to make the relationship work.

Just as I got to the door to my office, I saw two muscular guys in black coats who stood side by side.“May I help you guys?”They gave me a strong stare with no words as they restricted me from getting into the office. I was beginning to get scared of them because they didn't seem pleasant at all as I tried to get passed them again.“I got some work to do, so if you don't-”The man on the left showed me the left area of his jacket, which revealed a pistol slotted at the waist of his trousers.“God!
