DAISY’S POVMax opened the text, and I stared at it, with him, and to our dismay, the response was a big hit to our hopeful hearts.“To hell with you!”My heart felt slashed by a sharp sword, and I could barely breathe.“Sh*t!” Max cursed out, sharply, and then rose to his feet.He dashed out of the room, and I got up to my feet as well, and followed after him to know what he was up to, next.On getting to the living room, Nicholas had just walked up to him.“I need you to track the caller, right now.” He instructed Nicholas, in a tone of seriousness.“On it.” Nicholas responded as he got on his laptop, and tapped at the keys, as fast as he could.He seemed to be good at such things, and I hoped deeply in my heart that they would be traceable. I couldn’t bear to imagine what they could have done or what they were doing, currently to Nadia.After a while of tapping, Nicholas let out a sigh of relent, and shook his head.“It’s impossible, Max. They seem to be experts as they have blocke
MAX’ POV“Have you been able to get any update on him?” I asked, as Nicholas walked into the living room.He shook his head, lightly, and sighed. “I used all kinds of process, and procedures, even expert hackers as well, still, no positive result. I couldn’t track the sender.” Nicholas informed me.Hearing this, only got me more infuriated. I had skipped work, because Nadia’s life was more important, and even apart from sending Nicholas to do his job, and other things, he was also trying his best from his own end.“No! Sh*t!” He voiced out, frustratingly, and even punched the wall.“Please you have to calm down.” Nicholas uttered, looking really concerned about my current state.“How am I supposed to be calm when I don’t know what exactly they are doing to my daughter, at this moment.” I said as I connected the heel of my palm on my forehead, and dragged it down the chin.“You don’t have to worry. I believe we’re going to find her. “Nicholas assured me as he patted my shoulder.Then I
DAISY’S POVImmense joy flowed in my heart, and thoughts about how I would hug Nadia so bad, ran through my head quickly.“So, did they inform you of the time they want you to bring them the ransom?” I asked, sounding impatient.“Uhm… They haven’t informed me on that. But I have a plan. There’s no way I’m letting them off the hook for doing such to my daughter.”“What plan do you have in mind?”“I’m going to double-cross them, obviously. Just when they think I’m coming alone, and then giving them the money they ask for, I will give them the surprise they never expected, in the first place.” He revealed to me, and I nodded my head slowly, in acknowledgement.I felt assured that things were going to go well, and those abductors would face their end. I watched as he put a call through, to the cops, and I hoped they would find whatever idea he had, possible to play out.He had asked them to act like different passers-by, who don’t know whatever could be going on, and it was certain that t
MAX’ POV“Daisy! Daisy!” I called out to her as I bent to pick her up.I touched her pulse, and she was breathing, which made me feel relieved a little, but at the same time, I felt a surge of anger that I had to growl so loud to vent my anger out.It broke me to see Daisy suffering, and the thought of Nadia, being injected with a mixture of the deadliest poison on earth. The immense pain she would feel was going to be more than the one I felt for her, currently.“Let’s go home.” I ordered my men, and we all got into the car, then drove back.On getting home, I placed Daisy back on drip, and patted her head while she was sleeping. She had gone through a lot, in the last few days, and I knew that no number of soft words I could say to her, was going to make her feel better.At this point, I didn’t know what else to do. I walked back to the living room where Nicholas was sitting, also racking his brain for something else we could do.“These people are really after getting you hurt. It c
DAISY’S POVIt was evening already, and so much tears had been shed to an extent that my eyes were giving me a burning sensation. Yet, more tears streamed down my eyes as I thought more and more of what they could be doing to my daughter.I dreaded the next message they were going to send to me was going to be Nadia’s dead body. There was no way I could bear that. I wouldn’t feel alive, anymore; neither would I forgive myself for not being able to protect her, regardless of if I was present, or not.“Goodness.” I muttered under my breath as I kept waiting, for a message from them.The time was 8pm, and that was obviously late into the night, so why would they not have sent a message, at all? Did they change their mind, or were they cooking something different, up?I looked towards my window, staring at the night sky, pleadingly, hoping that I would hear nothing but good news. Hour by hour, time passed, even until 11pm, and yet, no news. I couldn’t think straight anymore, and so many
JEZEBEL’S POVI was still feeling the pain of the mistake which those men had made, last night, and I just couldn’t get over it. Even what I had to do to them, still annoyed me, as well, because now wasn’t the time to waste men.~flashback~“Gosh! You. Silly. Scumbags!” I yelled as I kicked the three of them, one by one, out of anger.“We’re sorry, ma’am.” They apologized, in a trembling tone.“What the hell! How could you make such a silly mistake!” I yelled at them, at the top of my voice.“We’re sorry, ma’am. We felt she wouldn’t be able to escape as we had already injected her with the poison.”“She managed to escape from here, and yet, we still can’t find her, outside. Can you just see how much this mistake of yours, has cost?” I questioned them, feeling my blood boil, and unable to see how possible it was, for me to calm down.Venting my anger on them, wasn’t enough. I had to spill blood.I brought out a gun, pointed it at them, and shot them, one by one, until they fell dead.~
MAX’ POVMy phone rang, and when I brought it out of my pocket, I discovered it was Jezebel who was calling me, so I answered the call.“Hey, baby.” She spoke, with so much joy, felt in her voice.I walked towards the balcony, and stepped out to take her call.“Hi love. How are you doing?” I asked as I dipped my other hand into my pocket.“I’m okay. I was missing you so much, today, so I had to call, to check up on you.” She said, and chuckled.I smiled, and sighed.“What’s wrong, baby?” She asked, noticing the difference in my behavior.“A lot happened, while you weren’t around.”“What do you mean by that? What’s going on, babe?” She asked again, sounding concerned.“Nadia was abducted, and was even poisoned, as they already told us they were going to finish her off, last night.”Jezebel let out a sharp gasp. “Are you for real?” She questioned, sounding like she was finding it difficult to believe me.“You know there are no jokes when it comes to topics like this. She could have give
JEZEBEL’S POVNoticing that they had gotten the description of the garage, I had to act fast on it. Immediately, I excused myself from the room, and then went to the balcony in our room to make a call.“Hello ma’am.” Darwin spoke, over the phone.“I need you all to get your asses out of the garage. They just found out where the garage is, and anytime soon, they’ll be on their way. Ensure you leave no trace.” I instructed him, firmly.“Alright, ma’am. On it.” He voiced out, and then I hung up.I stepped out of the room only to see Max, Nicholas and some other men, going out of the palace. My heart felt troubled as I wasn’t certain of how fast those men could be, in clearing out all traces that could give us away.“Goodness.” I muttered under my breath as I bit my fingernails, feeling anxious and worried about how things were going to turn out.I walked back into the room, and sat on the bed, scrolling through my phone, several times, doing nothing in particular. Just before anything e
MAX’ POVThe next day, I went to see the executive in the hospital. I had been unable to see him the previous evening because he was sleeping, and I didn't want to interrupt his sleep. He was sitting up, watching the news when I came in.“Alpha Max…” He said, trying to get to his feet, but I stopped him.“How are you feeling?” I asked, and placed the fruits I got for him on the little table over his legs. “I’m sorry. I…”“You're sorry? That was none of your fault.”“A reporter came by and saw me injured.”“Oh yeah, that reporter? He came to threaten me.” I said, with a laugh. “What? How dare he?”“Let him be. Just focus on your health.”“I'm healing already. It was a deep gash, but I'm already healing. Even if he speaks to the public, I'm going to tell them I had no injury, and came here for something entirely different.”“You don't have to do that…” I began, but he shook his head.“A few of my colleagues came and told me the whole story. Alex was such a sweet boy, and in exchange,
DAISY’S POVI felt the urge to ask him why he had been staring, but the situation was just too eerie for me to bother asking. Who knew what it could lead to, if I actually tried to ask?Without wasting much time, I picked up all that I wanted to get, and then paid for it, even without collecting the change as I had told the seller not to bother.Just as I began to head back to where Max and our children were, I heard quickened footsteps behind me, and I almost screamed, if not that he jumped right in front of me.Although, I gasped in shock as I wasn’t expecting him to pop up just in front of me.“Why are you stalking me!” I voiced out, trying to muster up the courage to confront him.But then, he chuckled, and swept his flying hair, to the back.“Stalk you? You just met me at the shop. There’s no way I was stalking you.”“But you kept staring at me.”“Oh, that? I was admiring you. I love the way you look. You are a very beautiful woman.” He complimented me, staring at me with lustful
DAISY’S POV“Daisy? Wow. Been a long while.” Two of the neighbors who came in, uttered as they looked at me in surprise.I only smiled shyly at them, and they looked so happy to see me.“Why are you all being so nice? Isn’t she a wicked daughter? She hasn’t been here, in years to see her father, and only came when I sent a text to her. You don’t deserve to live among us.” Mrs. Dane shouted at the top of her voice.Surprisingly, the other neighbors urged her to leave, and even had to drag her awayAlthough, my step-father wasn’t a man I loved, because he made me dislike him, especially because of the pain he made me go through, but I felt sorry for his death.“What was the cause of his death?” I asked, out of curiosity.“He died of kidney stones, due to his bad drinking habit, Daisy.” Mrs. Powell answered me, softly. “I’ll take you to his grave.” She offered, and I had to wait for her to get properly dressed before she took me to his grave which wasn’t really far, so we didn’t need to
MAX’ POVAbout thirty minutes had passed since I got a call from the cops, and then all of a sudden, my phone rang. when I glanced at it, I noticed it was Nicholas who was calling. So, I answered his call.“What’s the update?” I asked him as he was with the cops, the whole time.And for him to have been the one to call me, I didn’t think they had any luck in finding Jezebel’s body. “Her body is missing. She might have been devoured by the creatures.” He informed me, and I sighed. “Alright then. Talk to you later.”As I dropped the call, I sighed deeply again. Well, if they had searched over and over, than it meant that she was really gone. Although, it was quite disturbing that I didn’t see it with my naked eyes, but I had no choice than to give up on the search.It also annoyed me that I kept getting worried over someone who had done many worse things to I, Daisy and our children. I shook my head, and decided to forget about her, since she wasn’t even supposed to be in my head, at
JEZEBEL’S POV“Good. A face-lock.” He uttered as he stared at the phone, and began to walk up to me.“No. No. Don’t do this.” I spoke, shaking my head as he walked up to me.But then, he held my head firmly, without seeming violent, and all, and the phone unlocked, then he let my head free.“Let go of my phone! Let go!” I yelled at him, feeling rage, build up from inside me.But then, he didn’t say a word as he walked up to the bed, and sat as he scrolled through the messages. I was doomed.I could see how his facial expression changed from being curious to one of rage. Before I could make out what was happening in his head, he rose to his feet, and dashed towards me. He raised me to my feet, and pinned my throat to the wall.“How could you do this to me, despite all that I have done to you!” Max growled at me, with rage, clearly seen in his eyes.My heart was thumping hard and loud that I thought it was going to beat out of my mouth. It was even challenging to gulp down my saliva at
