I sat by the door for hours. Cried till I had no tears left to cry. I was scared ,emotionally and physically. I always wanted to live a life filled with love and comfort just like the fairytale movies I saw as a kid .

I wanted a love life so amazing that it felt fake to others but all those desires remained imaginations in my head. I was numb and dumb for hours. Weak to the bones one could say .

Lost in my own thoughts till I heard a faint knock on the door.

"Mummy "

Amelia and Aiden were back. I was wallowing in misery for 5 hours.

I instantly stood up, wiped my face and adjusted. My eyes were puffy and my face was swollen . The bruises On my arms and neck were still visible but u couldn't find a way to cover them up .

I took a deep breath and as always buried my feelings deep down away from the world and most especially my children.

When I opened the door ,both Aiden and Amelia rushed in to huh me. I knelt in front of them and gave them kisses on their forehead. Even t

    James stopped kissing my neck. The sight of my breast amazed him, I could tell by the burning desire In his eyes. He brushed his thumb tenderly on my rock-hard nipples. He again caressed my neck, my collarbone, my cleavage, and under my breast. My nipples yawned for his lips. James was so tender with me. He treated every part of me like it was fragile goods. My hands and fingers got an equal amount of kisses. While he was caressing my body, my hands were aggressively pulling the buttons of his shirt. When I was sure that I had taken everything off, I pulled his shirt off. I was left only with my panties while he was left with his trousers on. James kissed my nipples.I moaned out in pleasure. A pleasure long awaited. He then continued to suckle on my breast. I placed my hands over my mouth and began to moan softly. The kids were light sleepers. James made sure my nipples got what they wanted. He was already so hard. His erect penis was resting on my abdomen. Oh! How impa

    I was exhausted from the workload at the office. My feet were tired and my hands were feeble. However I worried about my kids. It's true that they were with their babysitter but for some reason, I felt restless. I tried to get my mind off them at least till I was done for the day. I had just one hour before I got off work . My mind was preoccupied and restless. "I'm probably just stressed out because of Aiden's incident." I muttered. The thought of going home to them injured made me shudder. "I will just call Nancy to check. " I picked up my Phone and dialed her number. It kept on ringing for minutes but I got no response. The ringing phone only made me more anxious. Nancy was responsible and cautious when It came to my children. Yet I was unable to settle down. I hurriedly sorted out the files on my desk. Quickly but carefully. Soon I was done. I picked up my bag and left the office. It was exactly 5pm when I left the office. The drive from the office to my

Justin, you don't know what you are doing. ""Amelia and Aiden, don't get the police.""Please " I pleaded With him with my two hands together. My head was clouded with worry . All this was happening because of me, because I took a wrong step so many years ago and I wasn't ready to make another mistake.

    "Then get ready to mourn the death of your children Isabelle ......."" On second thought, I can just train them like I trained you. ""Your daughter is just like you. "I grabbed his suit in anger. Ignoring the fact that I could be killed and buried without anyone coming to know about my death. I thought of nothing but the words he said. My anger clouded my head and ruled over my mind. Guns were pointed at me from all directions in the room with men that were willing to pull the trigger without thinking twice. "You better watch your tongue. ""Do you expect me to fall on my knees, begging you for mercy like I did all those years ago? ""I will not ."He took my hands carefully away from his suit. "I wasn't expecting you to beg." He turned away from me and signaled his men to drop their weapons. Aisha, you will be haunting down Shinke Shinga. My partner. Ex-partner.

    Amelia and Aiden were home.I knew Dean considered my opinion, now I knew I had a spot. I was excited to see them again. The only thing I ever wanted was to see them again, well and free. Oh my God! Aiden? Amelia? I held both of them closer to my chest. Tears began to roll down my cheeks. It had been a day since I last saw them but it felt like ages. My tightened chest became lighter and my lips had nothing but their names on it. My sweet children. Are you okay? Are you hurt? Tell me. Did anyone hurt you? I freed them from my warm embrace and started searching for bruises On their skin. I found nothing. "We are fine Mummy, the bad men got a good scolding from an old man for tying us up," Aiden said. Dean scolded the men that kidnapped them. He scolds them for treating my kids the way he"They did? "I asked Yes, Mummy, the old man was fun. He gave us a lot of toys and told us he was your good friend. Amelia added. "Mummy, I miss you," Amelia told me. Justin was outside

    My phone was lying on the dining table while I watched James and Justin make up. " YOU GOT YOUR KIDS BACK. ""9 pm, you will get my job done.""Don't mess this up, Isabelle.""I took your children once, I won't hesitate to take them again. ""This time far away from you. Trust me"Dean's messages rolled in. I was so occupied with whatever was going on in my living that the Beeping of my phone all fell on deaf ears. Justin invited James in to have a seat while he called the children. Amelia and Aiden came out and gave him a big warm hug. It all felt right but it wasn't. Justin and James all under the same roof made me feel uncomfortable. It was what I had wanted all this while. To move on from the past, with My present in full knowledge and understanding of my situation. It happened. What I wanted happened.

    We were both struggling. He was trying to pull the gun out of my hands with all his might while I struggled to keep my feet. Jessica didn't get herself involved in our struggle. She stood up and kept yelling at Dylan to let go of me. " Just give her the dang money Dylan ""Shut the fuck up," Dylan replied.Dylan was groaning and panting heavily. For a woman, my grip was surprisingly tight. I learned from the best after all. "Give it to me. " He yelled while releasing the grip he had on me."Show your face bitch " Dylan was struggling to get the gun out of my hands and at the same time reveal my identity. While we were struggling, he pressed my hands against the trigger and I fired a shot. The sound of the shot tingled in my ears for seconds. Who did I shoot? How did I fire the gun? All these questions had no answers. "ISABELLE " I voice called out. Dylan was distracted and so was I. We both looked in the direction of Jessica. Unlike Dylan, I was worried sick about Je

    Dylan lay on the floor growling. His gun was far from and closer to Justin. "Take Jessica and leave.""Now," I ordered with a fierce tone. That was the only chance we had. Now that I knew Dylan was dangerous and my cover was blown, things were complicated. "I can't leave you all here Justin. Isabelle. " Jessica said with tears in her throat." You have to go " "James, please take her with you," Justin said immediately. We had limited time. Dylan was taking longer than expected to get up and it was all in our favor. "I can't leave Isabelle."" Isabelle, I'm not going to leave you," James said. The tension was building up. Deciding who was going to stay and who was going to leave created tension. "Fucking leave James."" We don't have time." "Go."I lashed out angrily. Every second spent on the yacht was dangerous. I was scared for my life, I was scared for theirs. Justin, James, and Jessica. "I will get Isabelle home.""Take Jessica to a safe place," Justin assured James

" There's gotta be something, some document or record somewhere", I muttered while I kept on searching. " Dring! dring!", my phone rang as I was sorting out some files. " Urrghh! Who is it now?", I murmured as I picked up the phone from the desk. It was Jared. " I wonder what it is this time", I thought and then picked up." You imbecile! You took her, didn't you?", his voice blared out from the phone, making me pull it away from my ear." What are you talking about?", I asked." Don't play dumb with me asshole! 'cause I ain't buying it", he said." Look Jared, I don't have time for this okay? Unlike you, I've got work to do", I said." Oh that's rich! Really rich! coming from a crook like you", he yelled."

That's the spirit!", I said and gave him a smack on the shoulder." So what's the plan anyway?", Dave asked." Well, I got some intel that he usually comes here in the mornings to do some "private business" ", I emphasized with my fingers." Private business?", Dave asked."

    *** At the abandoned Amusement park***" No please! Don't kill me!"" Shut up!", I interjected as I knotted my belt around his neck quickly strangling him to death. " Hwweewww", I exhaled out of my mouth as I wiped off the sweat on my forehead with my forearm. " That's all of them", I said as I looked around at the bodies on the ground. I turned around and looked at my car, dented with marks of ricocheted bullets all around. " Geez, that'll need quite a lotta work", I said as I walked towards the door. " Krrrkuh", I heard a gun crackle behind me. " Put your hands where I can see 'em now!", a voice ordered from behind me. " Who are you guys anyway?", I asked the person behind me." That's none of your business. Now put your damn hands up where I can see 'em", he ordered. " Fine", I replied as I raised my hands up." Good, now turn around and get on your knees", he ordered.

    *** At Justin's House***" She's gonna be alright", the doctor said as he finished injecting her, " Though she'll probably be asleep for about an hour or two", he added." Thanks a lot doctor", Justin said, " but what about her memory? Is there anything we can do about it?", he asked." Apparently, it'll be best if we let the memories return on their own, unless we would be willing to risk shocking her into a stroke or a coma", said the doctor." Exactly when should we expect her memories to return?", Justin asked." Well, it depends on the circumstances around her. Just try to let her be around things and people that she knows really well. It'll help jog her memories", he said, " for now, let's just let her have some sleep", he added." Will do doctor. Thank you for coming", Justin said as he led the doctor out. Meanwhile, I rolled my wheelchair to her bedside." Izzy baby", I said as I rubbed my palm on her cheek, " you're so pretty even when you sleep", I said with a smile. " Aunt

    " Let me out dammit!", I yelled as I banged the door, " I gotta go save Janet", I said now leaning my back against the door as I slowly slid down into a crouched sitting position. " Knock! knock!", someone knocked on the door. " Who is it?", I asked as I hurriedly got up on my feet, " please let me out of here", I pleaded." It's me Justin. I'm coming in", he said as I heard the door unlock. As soon as he opened the door, I tried to make a run for it. Expectedly, I got caught easily." Calm down Izzy, you don't know what you're doing", he said with his hands around my waist. " Unhand me, you perv!", I yelled as I tried to break free from his grip. He let go off me and I took a few steps backward. " Don't you dare lay a finger on me or I'm telling my husband", I said with my index finger pointed at him." Humph!", he sighed, " well I can't really blame you, can I?", he said with a smile as he stared into the distance. I could see the emotions in his eyes. " Anyway", he said as he snap

    " You say she went out when?", the cop asked." I don't really know when, but it was in the morning", I said." What's her name?", he asked." Janet.... Janet Kelly", I answered." And you say she went out with a guy?", he asked." Yeah, her friend, though I think they're secretly dating", I said. He scribbled something down in a book." Any chance you know the name of the young man?", he asked." I can't really remember", I said." Humph", the cop sighed, " Are you sure you even know anything about her other than her name and the fact that she's your sister?", he asked." Frankly speaking, no. She's way too secretive about what goes on with her" , I replied." Alright, I'll draft a report and we'll begin our search in the morning okay?", he said as he arranged the paperwork on his desk." Tomorrow? what if she gets hurt tonight?", I asked." I'm sorry sir, but with the sparse info you've given me, there's nothing we can do till tomorrow morning", he said." Dammit!", I cussed as I ra

    “ Urrghh", I groaned as my eyes opened slightly and I tried to sit up." She's awake sir! she's awake!", I heard some ladies shout, their voices diminishing as they ran out. " What's all the ruckus about?", I thought as I opened my eyes, blinking quite a couple of times to clear up my vision. " Where am I?", I muttered as I looked around, surprised at how beautiful yet familiar the place looked. Then suddenly I remembered what happened on the way to the grocery store. " Oh my god, Janet!", I exclaimed as I hurriedly got off the bed. " Those men must have taken her", I muttered as I walked towards the door. Just as I was about to reach out for the doorknob, the door suddenly swung open. " Oh my god, Isabelle!", he said as he pulled in into his arms. I was about to struggle but his hug felt so warm. " I missed you baby, so so much", he said in a jerky voice as though he was holding himself back from crying. He looked just like the man from my dreams. " I'm sorry, but who are you?",

" Stop calling dammit!", I yelled in frustration as I drove as fast as I could. I tapped on my wireless earbud and picked the call." Calm down Maddie, you can't go alone", Justin said on the phone." Well we don't have time to wait for the cops. She won't be there by the time they get here", I said to him, " and I simply can't take that chance", I added." But it'll be better if..... beep!... beep!... beep!", he was saying before the call got cut off. " As if I'm gonna let this chance slip by", I muttered as I stepped on the gas. ______________________________________________*** At the Police Station***" Dammit! The signal's jammed", I said.
