"Not again," Victor muttered."I know what you are thinking, Victor. But I don't think that's what happened. Why don't you go check her house, while I search around the area," Frederick suggested.Without waiting to be told twice, Victor raced into the house and brought his car key then entered the car and sped out."Please, be safe, Hailey," Victor kept muttering as he drove to Hailey's house. His grip on the steering wheel was so tight that the steering wheel could break, his brows were creased. Finally getting to Hailey's home, Victor felt his head ache on seeing that the lights were turned off."Maybe she has gone to bed," He consoled himself. But deep down, he knew Hailey might not be home. Since he knew the password, he unlocked the door and entered. He slowly made his way to Hailey's bedroom, as there was no sign of her in the living room. Getting to the bedroom, he turned on the light, an empty room stared back at him, the bed was properly made, showing that no one had slept
"Victor!" Hailey screamed. She shook him vigorously but there was no response. She kept calling out his name in fright, shaking him and even pinching him to wake him."Hailey," Victor called, as his eyes fluttered open."You…How could you suddenly fall and stop moving? How dare you frighten me like that?" Hailey cried and fell into his arms."Where is Megan?" Victor asked, making no attempt to console her."I'm in your arms crying and you are asking for someone else?" Hailey asked, tears running down her cheeks."Do I honestly mean nothing to you? First, you agree you ship me back to Las Vegas, now, you no longer care about how I feel," Hailey cried."You are very heartless, Victor." She hit his chest multiple times until he held her hand to stop her."Stop, Hailey. I do not have any time to waste," Victor said, hurting Hailey."So listening to me is now a waste of time?" Hailey asked.Victor rose to his feet and gently pushed her aside."Give me Megan's phone number," Victor requeste
The world seemed to stop as Victor stared at her. "Mother," he whispered and ran into her arms. "I have missed you so much, Mum. I'm so sorry it took me so long to find you," Victor whispered, embracing her even more tightly. "Young man, you have the wrong person," She said and gently tried to peel him off her. "Not true. You are my mum. You must have forgotten about me just like I forgot about you. All these years, I thought I didn't have a family. Mum, I lived like an orphan. I had no recollection of you, but then today, everything came crashing into my mind," Victor whispered, his voice heavy with grave emotions. "You must be mistaken," She muttered. "I'm not your…" "Don't say that, Victor cut her off. You are my mother," Victor insisted. "Victor, I think you are mistaken," Lucas said from aside. "Stay out of this, Luc," Victor told him gently. Lucas sighed and stayed put, not saying another word. Victor uncircled his arms from her and held her at arm's length. "Look in
Frederick paced around the room, it's been several hours since Victor last called him and was now worried. The last time Victor called him, he had not found Hailey yet and now it bothers him knowing that Hailey might have not been found. He picked up his phone and dialed Victor's line. After calling him severally with no response, Frederick decided to go to the Company himself. "Lock the doors. I'll call you when I get back, so you can unlock the door. If you don't get my call do not open the door," he instructed Rosaline. He bent and kissed a sleeping Tina's head, then hurriedly left the house. Getting to the Company, Frederick ran up the stairs like he had lost his mind. Employees stared at him, wondering what was wrong with all the higher ups. First, it was Victor, then Hailey, and now Frederick. They whispered among themselves, but Frederick was too focused on getting to Victor to hear them. Running up the stairs hastily without even looking carefully, Frederick collided with Vin
Victor drove down the road, his eyes solely on the road. But then, his mind was elsewhere. His mind was occupied with his awful past. The life his father made him lead. Separated from his brother, he had to look out for his mum and little sister, Anastasia. He felt so thankful to Vincent for helping him regain his memory. Victor couldn't help but wonder how he was able to live for so long without knowing that a huge part of his memory was lost. After seeing Vincent's signature grin at the office earlier, he had tried to remember where he had seen that grin before, but then, he felt his head ache and nearly split. In a matter of seconds, memories that had escaped him came flooding back. He had immediately requested to see Megan, knowing that she would have an idea of where his family will be, as he recalled that she was Vincent's childhood girlfriend. He recalled that Vincent had a twisted memory and would sometimes act out of line."It's time I get him some psychological help," Victor
Victor drove back home with Hailey in silence, they both never said a word to each other. The car was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Hailey was lost in rage at how Victor was involved in her abduction. Even though it made no sense to her, she could not pinpoint why else Victor would act up, leave her with unanswered questions and then show up as the boss of a gang. Everything made no sense to her. She felt her stomach tighten and she suddenly felt sick. She exhaled and tried to face the car window, but then, the multiple wounds Vincent inflicted on her body hurt and she hissed in pain."Baby, are you okay?" Victor asked immediately, staring at her from the rear mirror.Hailey eyed him unpleasantly and looked away, not bothering to answer his question.Victor sighed."Baby, I don't know what is going through your mind right now, but I swear I would never do anything to hurt, believe me, please," Victor pleads. But once again, Hailey ignored him, acting like she was not the on
Frederick led a fuming Hailey, alongside Victor into the house. He had called Rosaline just like he said he would. And now, they were all seated in the living room."Go get the first aid kit," he instructed Victor. Without saying a word, Victor immediately left to get the kit."Didn't you hear what I said earlier? Victor freaking kidnapped me," Hailey repeated in anger."Your brain must have been injured as well," Frederick commented.Finding it hard to believe that Victor could kidnap Hailey and worst of all give her so many injuries. Hailey rolled her eyes in anger."I'm not receiving any treatment until you listen to me!" Hailey yelled."Tina is asleep," Rosaline, who was solely concerned about the well-being of her child, reminded Hailey.Hailey muttered an apology to her and glared at Frederick. Soon, Victor entered the living room with the first aid kit. "Let me tend to your wounds," he told Hailey, and she shot him a death glare.Frederick sighed."Care to explain what Hailey
Hailey had insisted that she was okay and there was no need to go to the hospital. Victor sat tending to her wounds."Is this painful?" Victor asked. He just applied methylated spirit and Hailey hissed out in pain. Hailey nodded."Awwww, I'm sorry. I wish I could bear the pain," Victor said, tenderly."You know what, I will make sure that brother of mine apologizes to you properly. You can beat him up if you like too," Victor offered."And there is the gang leader in you speaking," Hailey commented.Victor laughed out loud as if what Hailey just said was the most hilarious thing ever."Stop it babe. I'm not a gang leader." He playfully tapped her arm."Awww," she yelped in pain."I'm sorry. Does it hurt? Oh, god, I'm really sorry," Victor apologized multiple times."I have a question, Victor," Hailey said and Victor paused."Do not hesitate, ask me anything, I will answer honestly.""How did you become the boss of a gang?""Oh, that. You know since my dad is dead, the gang was rightfu
