Alexander was in the fully air conditioned vehicle but he was sweating, he was fidgety and he knew that only when he saw Aria safe and sound, that would be when he would calm down.“That Ethan bastard better not be involved in this or else I would have him in jail for the rest of his life.” Alexander said under his breath. “Sir we’re here.” Lucas said.Alexander, Lucas and the driver got down from the vehicle, sure as day. They found Aria’s rental car at the entrance of the cemetery, there weren’t many people around to ask questions. The driver led them into the cemetery where there was a little security window. They knocked on it to get the attention of the sleeping guard. “Hello. Hello…”The guard jerked out of sleep, “yeah. Yeah. What do you want?” “We are here to ask if you know the owner of the car outside and if you know where she is in the cemetery?” The guard looked outside. “The heck if I know who owns the car but there’s been a few visitors today. Most of them were aroun

“Let me see,” he stretched his hands for the phone. He focused on the screen despite the headache, there was Aria coming in with a bottle of juice and her purse. She had tried to look into the guard office but she didn’t find anyone there so she went in, the video showed the time. There was no footage of her going out. Alexander clicked the link to the footage from the second gate, this one showed nothing from the timeline that Aria entered the cemetery then there was a black c pulled close to the gate. Three men in black came down, the first one he couldn’t quite see his face but he had a feeling that it was Ethan. The other two, he had no idea who they were but he knew they were thugs. They went in and after about five minutes. They came out with Aria and stuffed her in the back of the truck but Aria looked unconscious. “Damn it, they have her.” Alexander said. The driver seemed to speed up the vehicle, Lucas collected his phone and watched the video over and over again. Trying t

Ethan ran as fast as his legs could carry him, he was definitely not going to jail. He really hoped that he could spin this in a way that he’d still get his money. By the time he realized he had reached the ranch, he knew he was in trouble. His luggage was in that room, his passport and every other thing. There was no way that the police would not find out he was involved even if none of the others ratted out on him. All he had was his phone, he had to find a ride to the bus station and get a ticket before they got him. He got into the ranch, wondering what tactics he would use to get a ride to the bus station. He had just a few bucks in his pocket. Not sure if it was enough for the fare to the bus station. Ethan saw one of the farmers on the ranch, he looked around cautiously. His heartbeat was thudding so loudly in his ears, fear has enveloped him. He approached the old man, who was bent over a stack of hay and didn’t even notice Ethan lurking around. It wasn’t until a dog began

Dr. Hensley knew exactly what he needed to do now, wait for the one thug who had accompanied Aria to arrive but he had to make sure that the other one didn’t suspect that he had ratted out the rest of their team’s location to the police.He heard the chime of his phone, he quickly checked the notification. Aria had arrived on the private dock, their only means of transporting an unconscious individual was to disguise as a fake ambulance. As the fake ambulance came through, he went outside in preparation. The goon brought in Aria, Dr. Hensley almost did a dance in joy. He immediately got in his element. The goon pushed in the gurney, “I sent the others a text but I haven’t heard back from them. You might want to alert them that the cargo is already here.” He told Dr. Hensley. Dr. Hensley simply nodded and told him he would do that but he had to stick to the plan and leave with the ambulance quickly. As soon as the ambulance left the location, Dr. Hensley locked down the laboratory.

As soon as the police officers took over the motel, Alexander and Lucas followed in. There was no way that Alexander would let them rescue his Aria when he wasn’t there. He clenched his fists, forcing himself to steady his emotions. He knew Aria was here but he hoped she was in one piece and hadn’t been harmed. They had grabbed both goons already and they were about to go into the room. As the officers forced down the door with a swift kick. The door landed weakly. Inside the room, what Alexander saw was even worse than he imagined. He noticed Aria in a chair, tied, her face was bruised and her lips swollen, a piece of cloth over her face. She was unconscious. But the sound of people rushing into the room roused her and she slowly looked around, he could see tears filling her eyes. Alexander rushed to her side and held her as an officer cut through her restraints. He froze as he held her, something felt off in his heart. She whimpered in pain and he removed the cloth from her mouth

The hospital room was stuffy with gifts, word had gotten round about Janet’s ‘health’ scare. Janet sat at the edge of her bed, she was looking through the cards of people sending their love. Her sister Mandy sat beside her, she was glancing at her watch, obviously impatient. Her jaw was shut tight in anger. She didn’t like wasting time with things. The door creaked open slowly and the doctor stepped, he was holding a folder with test results. His face was calm but cautious, as he knew he was in the presence of another Doctor. A renowned one at that, he had to choose his words carefully. “Well, good morning ma’am.” He said then be flipped open the folder. “How was your night? I hope you weren’t having any more chest pains?” He asked Janet. “No, I think I’m feeling better but it seems like the chest pains come and go.” Janet said, looking at her sister. “Alright. Your test results are in and there’s nothing immediately life threatening but we did notice some irregularities between wh

Alexander was still waiting for news from the doctors. He paced the entire waiting area, back and forth. Lucas arrived at the hospital and walked up to Alexander. “Young Master, the thugs have been booked for kidnap but they still can’t find Ethan sir.” Lucas said. “Lucas, I believe you know me too well, I do not accept excuses, make sure they find Ethan even if it takes hiring private investigators. He can’t be that hard to miss, we need to figure out who else was involved in this.” “Yes, young master. I’ll make sure of it.” Lucas said as he brought out his phone to make some calls. The doctor came out at this point, walking straight to Alexander. “She’s doing okay. She’s in stable condition. She was beaten up a bit but thankfully she had no internal injuries from the beating and she’ll be fine. We would advise though that she get some rest, a couple of days in the hospital. That way we can monitor her and make sure that she’s good. The police said she’s in an active investigatio

Alexander and Lucas drove to the apartment they had rented for Aria, it wasn’t a long drive from the hospital. They arrived at the apartment, Harriet the manager handed over the keys to Lucas. “I hope Mrs Aria is okay?” Harriet asked. “Yeah. She is recovering just fine.” Lucas replied. He opened the door of the rented apartment. He moved around, putting the light luggage they had brought into the space. Alexander went straight for the room where Aria had barely unpacked her bag before the incident. He picked up one of her tops and held it to his nose. He smelt it and felt more comfortable, his migraine was still banging. He looked around the room, Lucas came in and wanted to help with Aria’s bag. “No, leave it. I’ll handle unpacking her stuff.” Alexander ordered. Lucas nodded and returned to the living room. Alexander smelt her top again and he wondered, why he felt like there was something off with Aria now. He knocked the thought out of his head.He unpacked some of her clothe

“A perfume box is definitely not a gift for Aria,” Alexander’s voice stayed calm but there was a sternness to it. Lucas looked up from the perfume box they had just unwrapped. “What do you mean, Young Master?” Alexander looked at Lucas as he rested his hands on the table in the home office, he pointed to the gift, “Aria doesn’t wear perfume and according to what she told me, she never has.” Lucas frowned at the gift, “So we are a hundred percent sure that this package isn’t for the young mistress?” “As sure as the sun will rise. Aria would not order perfumes.” Alexander said. “Young Master, If it was a store, they’d have a return address so it has to be from someone, someone who doesn’t want to be identified or traced.” Lucas added.“This is meant for Frieda, probably the spray that Hensley sent to her.” Alexander said, taking a seat. “The bastard has guts, he’s trying to supply her with these perfumes right under our noses, to aid her cover.” Lucas said, fuming with rage. “How

Mandy sat in the guest room, looking outside at the pool. Across from her, Janet sat down on the bed, staring at her sister impatiently with her arms crossed. “We need to make fast moves,” Janet said, her voice sharp. “With every moment that Aria is alive, every second she remains as Alexander's wife is a very big problem for us.” Mandy exhaled, folding her hands. “I understand but this isn’t some small backwards town anymore. Janet, we’re in a major metropolis, everything we do leaves a trace.” “And so what? We’ve covered up others so this shouldn’t pose too big a problem.” Janet replied nonchalantly. Mandy shook her head. “Not like this. This is not twenty years ago. People weren’t walking around with mobile cameras. Streets didn’t have traffic cameras and the police weren’t tracking digital footprints the way they’re doing now. We don’t even need to slip up to get caught.” Janet sat forward, “So what’s your great plan? Neck if we can’t erase her completely from the picture, no

Alexander adjusted his cuff links as he got into his black SUV, checking his wrist watch for the time. It was three in the afternoon, Lucas slid into the seat beside him, scrolling through his phone. “We need to make progress today, we need to have something tangible.” Alexander said as the car pulled out of the Sinclair estate. “I agree, Young Master. There’s no time to waste, we’ve been a step behind now it’s time to switch things up.” Lucas said. The driver maneuvered the car smoothly through the city streets to Sinclair Enterprises Headquarters, in the heart of the financial district. Alexander’s security detail had already been alerted by Lucas that he and Alexander were on their way. They opened the doors for them as they stepped out, moving straight to the private elevator that led directly to the high tech security wing of the building otherwise known as the Tech Division. As they entered the wing, a team of data analysts, cyber specialists and intelligence experts straig

Frieda sat comfortably in the plush leather seat of the private jet, sipping on freshly squeezed juice that had been served to her in a pretty glass. A beautiful air hostess stood nearby, offering her anything she wanted, whether it was another drink or some fruits, anything she needed. This was first class and extra treatment, is this what Aria has been enjoying? I am in Heaven, she thought. Every time she took a look around, there was something else that she hadn’t seen before. This was the only flight she had ever entered with no turbulence, the extravagance was screaming off the roof. What truly amazed her was Alexander himself. He sat across from her, dressed in a nice tailored suit, and was reading off his tablets, some documents from work. He didn’t even look up at her. Frieda frowned slightly. Hensley had told her that he was really close to Aria so she had expected a lot more than he was doing now. She found consolation in the fact that Alexander had been doting on her a

Dr. Hensley stood over Aria, watching her as she lay unconscious. She tapped her fingers on the steel table beside her gurney. Her face was getting paler but there was nothing that he could do about that, he couldn’t let her wake up anytime soon. The intravenous drip that supplied nutrients was basically just to make sure that she was getting enough nutrients to stay alive and healthy to an extent. His phone buzzed on the work counter, he moved to pick it up, it was a text. “Alexander and I arrive tomorrow. Don’t forget the gift.” A smile spread across his lips, things were working out rather well. The only plan left was how to eventually exchange Aria for Frieda when he was done with her. Hensley checked the machines monitoring Aria’s vitals. They showed that she was steady, though she was noticeably weaker than she had been a short while ago. He wasn’t too concerned with her, she could last a little longer and as long as she was stable, he would keep up his work. The only thing

“We’re heading back to the city, she comes with us tomorrow whether she’s on board or not.” Alexander said as they passed through the hallway. As they approached Frieda’s room, Alexander moved his shoulders, masking whatever emotion he was going through before putting on a practiced calm. He felt Lucas’s eyes on him, always watching in case he was needed to come in. When they entered, Frieda was seated by the window of her room, the remnants of her meal on the side table of the bed and the note that Alexander had sent her earlier neatly folded by the tray. She looked up with a smile Alexander knew was too perfect, her eyes lit up at the sight of them. “You’re back,” she said softly, her tone laced with a sweetness that Alexander knew was a lie. “Of course, I told you I’d be back.” Alexander replied, stepping closer to her. “I’m sorry I’m late though.” Lucas stayed in the corner of the hospital room, watching intently but making sure he wasn’t obvious. “So, how are you feeling ri

The case file in his hands, Alexander placed it on his lap not knowing if he should quite go through it in the car or at the apartment. Lucas looked through the mirror at Alexander, noticing the tension, Alexander had looked like he was going to rip through the whole case file just moments ago but now his hands hovered over it, hesitant. “Young Master, do you want to look at it now or wait until we get to the apartment perhaps?” Lucas finally asked, breaking the silence in the car.Alexander didn’t answer immediately, he let go of all the air in his lungs, as he traced the edges of the case file. “I think I’d prefer to look at it when we get to the apartment.” He said in a low tone “I don’t think I can do this in the car.” Lucas nodded, “Drive to the apartment…” he mentioned to the driver. Back at the apartment, Lucas looked on as Alexander sat on the table with the case file, the paper looked crisp. The title on the first page read: “Alexander Sinclair - Missing Child Report, 19

The underground laboratory smelled of sweat and chemicals as Dr. Hensley wiped his brow of sweat. His hands trembled slightly, the paralyzed goon lay slumped on the floor near his workbench. The body of the guy was a dead weight that was becoming more trouble for Hensley. “Damn it! You could have tried to attack me towards that area, that way it would have been easier to move you.” Hensley complained. He gripped the man under the arm and attempted to lift him but the man’s size and bulk made the task almost impossible, but Hensley had no choice but to keep trying. Even though no one would stumble on the body in the laboratory, he liked to be able to move easily around his own side of the laboratory. “You could have just left or better still put a call through. I’d have paid you and moved on but now look at you.” He grumbled to the goon on the floor, he dragged the limp figure toward the corner of the lab. The man’s head lolled left and right as he blinked slowly, the only indicatio
