Alex groaned in pain, and snapped his eyes open. He looked at his surrounding to find himself in an empty room."Fvck, I can't believe that bitch drugged me." He mumbled underneath his breath, and slowly helped himself up the floor.He cast his gaze down with his eyes close, trying to regain full consciousness."You're awake." He heard his uncle's voice, but acted unaffected. Deep down within him, he was scared and getting drenched in sweat, but decided to act boldly.He made such he was no longer feeling drowsy, before he slowly began to lift his head up to lock eyes with his uncle. The room was a bit dark, but he could still see his face."This is the only way you were wise enough to get me, huh?" He sneered at him, and the next thing he heard was a resounding slap on his cheek."Don't you dare talk down at me, you have no one to come to your aid, if you mess up, I will plug out your eyes and throw you in the street."His word made Alex certain they were no longer in California, whi
After so much persuasion from Scott, Xavier had to cajole to his request and decided not to go after Lorenzo until they visited the hospital and get his wound treated. He was convinced they will find them since the GPS is still installed in his wristwatch. Scott drove him to a nearby hospital, not far from where Alex was held hostage, before he was taken to the lawyer's apartment.As soon as he parked, Xavier turned to his direction with a questioning look on his face, waiting for his response.Scott obviously understood the look on his face, yet he ignored. "Let's get your wound treated first, don't give me that look." Scott responded, and stepped down from the car.Xavier quickly step out, and barricade him. "Why are we here? This is where Lorenzo held him hostage at first, why bring me here?" Xavier thought he should have driven them to the hospital in the city. That would have been easier to still follow them behind."You heard the lawyer, Lorenzo has some things here he cannot
Six hours later, they arrived at the destination the GPS tracker directed them to. They step out of the car, scanning their vicinity. The place was scanty, there were barely any house's, except for a few. Something popped into Xavier's head, and a small smile tugged at the corner of Xavier's lips. He was grateful that Pablo showed up at the right time he needed someone."Pablo resta qui fuori mentre noi entriamo (Pablo stay out here while we go outside)""Perché voglio venire con te (Why? I want to come with you)""Just do as instructed and stop asking questions. Scott, let's go inside." Xavier marched his way to the entrance of the house, and placed his phone back in his pocket."He understands English? I have never heard him speak." Xavier halt, and spun around."Mind your damn business and let's go, we don't have much time."Scott fidgeted, and opened the passenger's seat. He grabbed the lawyer out of the car, and drag him with them into the building.It was a bamboo house with ro
The plane landed in Atlanta four hours later, and passengers began to walk down the plane. Immediately the attendant was sure everyone had gotten off, he walked to the VIP to meet Xavier."Sir, you can get off now." Xavier nodded, and he led him out of the plane, until they were out and halt."Thank you for your time, I will see you in the future.""Pardon?" This was his way of making Xavier repeat himself, even though he heard what he said already."Don't worry until then, you will know what I mean, but for now, make sure you behave well and don't get fired."The figure just stared at him blankly, not sure of what he meant."Thank you sir. Have a good time in Atlanta." The figure bowed his head, and marched back to the plane.'I wish! Have a good time? I will get my girls back' Xavier thought, and spun around.He marched to the exit of the airport, and halt to take a private car. As he stood there, looking at his surrounding, the memory of his family crept into his head.He never ima
A loud growl slipped through Xavier's lips, as he felt someone hit a heavy object on his legs. He scrunched his face, chew the pain back trying to help himself off the floor.Xavier pressed his hands on the floor for support, slowly lifting himself up. As soon he was up, the object landed on his legs, but this time he didn't growl or cry in pain.His head and legs ache extremely, but he will himself to stay strong, even though he kept feeling the legs were being ripped out of his body.Xavier lifted his head up, with a squinted eye, not able to see clearly. He opened his eyes more, and came into view with a silhouette of some men in the room."Were you planning to keep sleeping? Don't you have to save your daughters?" They mock, scanning his features disdainfully.His head was banging, but he ignored, and slowly snapped his eyes open fully. He saw three men standing in front of him, barricading him from seeing the person behind them."Who are you people? What do you want from me?" He
"I can't believe all this has been happening, and neither you nor father told me. How could you consent him to go out there without back-ups?" Bryan was disappointed in his parents, they kept such thing away from him.He had his doubt in days, and went ahead to contact jasper, who told him the girls have been kidnapped, and Xavier was out of California to go find them.Margaret could barely talk loud, this pass few days have been hectic for them. "Bryan, don't tell me you took the night plane just to come question me about this?" She mustered the courage to speak as loud as she could."Common mother, I have every right to question you. You call me every day and each time I ask you about him, you tell me he is fine.""I had to do that, I can't tell you what's happening, besides your father said not to let you know. How is that my fault?"Bryan heaved a loud sigh, he thought as much, it was all his father's idea, there's no reason for his mother not to tell him what was going on with th
The nine hours drive finally ended, though they arrived late, it was already 10am. The cab driver brought him to the hotel the GPS directed them."This is my card, that's my number, please be patient with me until I get my girls back. I will fly back to Atlanta and make sure I pay you."The cab driver looked down at his card and back to his face. "I don't think it's necessary, just give me the wristwatch, that's enough for my payment."Xavier looked down at his watch and back to the cab driver. "I'm sorry I can't give you a broken watch, if you want the watch as your token, I don't mind buying a new one for you."The cab driver stretched his hands down to his, and pulled out the watch from his hands."Don't worry, I will get it fixed, you can go now, you have to save your kids."He spun to his left, pulled out a knife from his chair, and handed it to Xavier."You don't have a weapon with you, take this, you have to protect yourself."Xavier collected it with a thank you, and stepped o
Xavier stood at the edge of the cliff looking at the giant's soak in a pool of blood. He blinked his eyes, and tears ran down his cheeks as he thought of what his daughters must have gone through.He spun around, hurried towards them and pulled them into a hug for the second time. "How are my angel's doing? Do you have any injuries? Are you hurt? Are you starving?" He rushed out, the tears still running down his cheeks.The girls disentangle the hug from him when they heard him cry. Mariyah cupped his face in her hands, and used her thump to wipe his tears."Daddy, you are a hero, you're our superhero, why are you crying when you came to save us?""I'm sorry I came late, I don't know what I would have done if I had lose you. I don't know what I would have told your mom. You girls are all we have, I can't be separated from you again. You all are my life, you are all I have gotten.""But Daddy, we are fine? You saved us. At first, we were scared this will be the end of us, not until y
