As the cars sped off through the highway, Amy couldn't help but feel anxious. She looked at her father who sat silently beside her as he kept glancing at his wristwatch from time to time. “Dad, where are we going?” Amy asked, knitting her brows at the unfamiliar streets of New Jersey.“Where we should have gone back after the conference, home,” her father replied, placing his hand on her comfortingly.Amy looked at him confused, feeling her heart twist at the thought of never being able to see the kids again. “But dad, I want to see the kids,” she protested, looking at him, her eyes teary.“Those are Liam's kids sweetheart, we have to go home,” Mr. Vane huffed out in frustration at his daughter's insistence.Amy felt her mind fill with mixed emotions, making her feel overwhelmed as she thought of those kids. The feeling of nostalgia creeping up her throat. “Stop the car! Stop the car now!” She screamed out, holding her head. At the moment her mind couldn't register what was going o
Caught up with his phone call, Liam slammed his fist on the desk in frustration. He needed answers, not reasons regarding his wife. “Fuck!” He cursed, feeling his fist sting painfully from the impact. The sound of sobbing caught his attention, making him furrow his brows worriedly. He recalled hearing the doorbell ring moments ago while he was still on his phone call. He stepped out of his study slowly, his heart beating violently as if threatening to break out of its cage.Liam stood in the hallway, his eyes resting on Amber, who hugged none other than Kyla. The sight of her taking his breath away for a second. “Kyla?” He muttered before he could even contain his surprise.As if through magic, the sound of his voice rested into Kyla's ears, bringing her out of her excited mood. She opened her eyes to look over her shoulder before she settled her gaze on Liam. He had not changed that much even after the years, but her heart twisted at remembering how cold he treated her. Liam felt
Amber stormed into the room following behind him, her face covered with astonishment. Liam turned to look at her, trying to mask his emotions. “Are you crazy? I know Kyla wanted to take the kids, but how could you just let her go? Weren't you supposed to convince her to stay?” Amber asked, looking at her brother in disbelief.Liam shrugged his shoulders, understanding his sister's frustration. “Amber, she wanted to leave, and she still hasn't forgiven me, but not to worry we're going after them,” he explained, smiling slightly.Amber's eyes widened in realization. “Did you put a tracker on them? Li, are you crazy!” She asked, looking at him in shock.Liam shook his head, “no they're going to New York, of course they'll stay at Vane's residence.” “What are you saying Li, you want us to go to New York?” Amber asked, looking at him, her eyes searching his face for any signs he was pulling her leg.“Yes, I think it's high time we go see dad too, Amber don't you think so, it's been long
Amber fidgeted with her fingers feeling uneasy as the flight had taken off minutes ago. She never had issues with flying, but this time she felt queasy. Liam, on the other hand, kept staring at his phone as if waiting for an important call. “Heard anything from them?” Amber asked, forcing a tight smile to grace her lips.Liam turned quickly at the sudden voice that interrupted his thoughts. He had been waiting for the kid's call, but it appeared they didn't miss him. His gaze rested on his sister, making his eyes widen. Instead of answering her question, he quickly unbuckled and ran to her side in panic. “Amber? Are you feeling okay?” He asked caringly as he saw her face was pale, sick.Amber nodded, but she felt her head become heavy making her rest her head on the seat. “Urm…” she moaned sluggishly, her speech coming out slurred as she tried to lick her dry lips.Liam shook her, seeing her close her eyes slowly before quickly unbuckling her. “Sweetie? Amber? Don't close your ey
Tension settled at the pit of his stomach as Liam got off his flight. Amber, hot on his heel with her face covered with worry as she overheard what happened. As Liam looked around the airport, he couldn't help but feel like he was in a strange place. Earlier he had been there for business, but this time he had alighted to the most horrible news.“Li, aren't you going to say anything?” She asked, catching up with him as they settled in the car.“Amber, please we'll find them, don't stress yourself,” Liam said expressing his worry.Amber shrugged her shoulders understanding where Liam was coming from with his words.“Li, I'll be fine, now I just need to see Kyla and be with her, all this is not easy for her,” Amber said, breathing heavily to relieve her tense nerves.Liam looked at his sister worriedly before nodding, it was good that Kyla had her at such a moment. But the question that lingered on his mind was how his kids went missing. Maybe this was just another one of her father's
As the car pulled into the Storm's mansion, none of them uttered a word. What happened at the Vane's remained imprinted in their minds, none of them daring to say it out loud.“What are you going to do Li?” Amber asked, her voice soft and calm.Liam huffed, shrugging his shoulders still feeling hurt at what had happened. It appeared Mr. Vane was hell-bent on making Kyla think the worst of him.“Let's first get inside, I already have my men on it, we'll find them,” Liam answered as he turned the running car engine.Amber nodded in understanding, feeling her heart become heavy at all that was happening. What was supposed to be a happy day has turned out to be terrible.As Amber alighted the car, she looked at the once jovial and lively compound. It now looked cold with the high concrete wall turning a greenish color showing just how long it was abandoned. The quietness in the compound making her tense, thinking maybe her father moved or even worse… She quickly pushed the horrible thoug
She bit her lip hard to try to contain her anger as she paced around the room. “That bi**h! She said she'll have the kids here by now!” Isabelle cursed out, smashing the glass that she held in her hand. The shattering sound of the glass echoing in this dump, cold and old room.“Calm down babe, it'll be alright, she said she'll be here before 9pm,” Blake said, rubbing her shoulders to calm her down.“I told you we shouldn't trust that other b***h, she was my best friend once, but she's nothing but weak!” Isabelle cursed, pulling out her phone to make a call.Blake heard his phone vibrate making him freeze at what he saw. He hurriedly went out of the room, glad that Isabelle was occupied by her phone calls.Blake quickly called a number, his hands feeling shaky. He had been awaiting the biggest deal of his life. The deal which would free him of the clutches of Isabelle and let him survive on his own. Nothing could go wrong, nothing was supposed to go wrong!“Matteo! What the hell did y
Liam looked at the woman in his arms, making his lips curl up in a smile. He couldn't have enough admiring how peacefully she slept against his chest. The passionate kiss they shared made his heart beat hard, making him fear he would make her up in his excitement. The longing and emotions they shared in the kiss didn't need any explanation. Shuffling at the doorknob made Kyla stir in her sleep. Liam looked up, knitting his brows at whoever finally thought of unlocking the kitchen door. His numb shoulder felt immobile as he tried to position Kyla properly. Kyla felt the bed move below her making her moan softly, rubbing her head harder on the hard…pillow?She struggled to crack her eyes open, but her heavy lids protested against it. Her mind flipped like a coin when she heard the door click open. Everything that happened last night flooded inside her head as she sat up. “Good morning, love,” Liam mumbled, his deep voice making her insides shudder.“Oooh my god! Did you two spend t
