Meeting Again 70-Taken
I slammed the breaks right outside Grey Mount School. No sooner had the car stopped did I come running to the school gate where a nervous-looking Sam was talking to the guards brandishing something on his cell phone. On getting closer I saw Sam holding Twen's picture in front of the guard and asking him something. I held Sam's arm and almost cried out the words,"Where is he? Where did he go?"Instead of Sam, the guard answered, looking at me apologetically, "I apologize, sir, but I am not aware where your son is. Several kids came and went. I can't keep an eye on everyone."I glared at the security. What do you mean you can't keep an eye on everyone? That's precisely your job!! I said, trying to keep my temper in check, "My son wouldn't have left the gates if Sam hadn't come to pick him up. I am sure of it. I hope you don't hand kids over to just about anyone!!""Tony, calm down. Blaming the security won't solve anything. Let's check the security cameras near the school gates. We mig
Meeting Again 71-Message
Robbie's POVThe moment I got off the phone with Tony, I saw Jane hurrying towards me. The full impact of the situation was yet to hit me. I was already getting a feeling of something like bile rising from the pit of my stomach. I was thankful when Jane interrupted my thought process, otherwise, I would have started acting out."Mr. Walker, Mr. Mandes is very concerned as you le-" Jane started when I interrupted."Book me the earliest air ticket you can get for Warham right now!" I said as I started hurrying towards the exit of the restaurant, we were in.Jane's mouth fell open at my instructions. She quickly recovered and ran behind me, stammering as she spoke, "Mr. Walker… Mr. Walker...Y-you haven't finished... Mr. Walker... what about the… Please, Mr. Wal-""JANE...Do what I said and wrap up the meeting. Tell them that I have left as I had some urgent business to attend to," I said as I got out of the restaurant and gave my keys to the valet there."But sir, Mr. Mandes wants to set
Meeting Again 72-Not Tony too
It was only an hour-long flight, but it felt like an eternity. Once I landed in Warham, I quickly proceeded to take a cab. Since my return was sudden, my car was not prepared ahead of time. I wanted to go meet Tony first. But at the moment, my mind was so absorbed in my suspicions over dad that I first wanted to run and confirm whether it was him. If it were him, then I would get Twen back. I just couldn't bring myself to believe that dad could have fallen so low. Today's altercation between us might as well be the end of our relationship as well as my mum's too. I feel unbearably guilty of pulling mum into this as well, but there is no other choice. Mum tried her best to maintain the happy family image before me so that I don't feel sad or isolated. Yet, today many people have suffered because of my choices. Tony, Twen, Mom...how am I ever going to forgive myself for bringing such a disaster on them all? I clenched my fist in anger.My guilty reflection got interrupted by a call. It
Meeting Again 73-What do you want?
Warning: Mention of drugs, hints of sexual abuse, Kidnapping, & strong languageI felt like someone kicked me in the guts. I looked at him wide-eyed in disbelief. This guy, a member of the congress, a well-known television face, a politician, and a friend of Robbie's dad, he ordered my son's abduction?? Why?? Just because I fell on him!?"I can see a lot of questions on your face," he chuckled again, "I am sure rather than answers to those questions, this is what you want to see," he said, pulling out his cell phone, tapping something on it quickly, and turning the screen towards me.From this distance, I could see nothing. I left the headboard and dragged my feet to the end of the bed. As I reached close, I saw Twen on the screen."TWEN!!" I screamed and staggered towards the armchair, falling face forward on the floor.I heard a creak as Mr. Olsen got up from the chair and walked towards me. I looked up, sitting on my knees. He held out the cell phone to my face, where I saw Twen sl

Robbie's POVI stood there bewildered at dad's reply. How could he just lie like that? If he doesn't know anything, then why did the kidnapper make a stop in front of our villa? To admire it? Mum felt suspicious too. She asked in a firm tone,"Ric, a child's life is in danger, and he also happens to be your grandson-""I have no grandson," Dad interrupted mum, eyeing her with cold fury."I don't care whether you see him as your grandson or not, but he is my son! I won't let you harm him," I said, gritting my teeth and stepping forward, looking at dad with rage.Dad raised an eyebrow, speaking each word with the chilliness of the north pole, "You think I would do such lowly things like harming a boy!""If you did not make my son disappear, then why the hell did the kidnapper stop here?" I asked in an equally cold voice."What nonsense!!" Dad burst out, slamming the desk and glaring at me."It's not nonsense, dad. The kidnapper's car was caught on traffic surveillance and shown to make

You wasted fifteen damn minutes dragging me and the cops here," Fred complained, giving a furtive look at the cops."There is a reason for that! So, where is that jacka*s?" I asked in a low growl, also eyeing the two cop cars behind in the rear-view mirror."Here," Fred said, placing his cell phone under my nose and stamping on the accelerator at the same time.I looked at the location. My eyes widened. No wonder Mr. Olsen is confident that no one will be able to locate him. I grumbled agitatedly,"The ruined mansion of Emaulsen!""What? What's that?" Fred asked while quickly taking his cell phone back to navigate the route and gesturing to the cops to follow his car."That's Olsen's paternal hous

Robbie's POVI don't know why the idea of being unclean had lodged in Tony's head. Why would he think that just because of what happened I would look down on him or not see him as fitting to be my partner? I am not one of those outdated person who thinks only virgin guy and girls are pure and clean. But most unfortunately, our society had always promoted such inferior ideas. And many of the men have even gobbled down that idea without once thinking how demeaning and downgraded the thought was. But maybe Tony's case was different. It might be the shock of what happened rather than the society's regressive ideologies. But I won't let him wallow in self hatred and disgust.1I calmed him a bit, though, he was still looking disturbed. I made him close his eyes and lean on the seat for rest. Closing the SUV's door of backseat, I took long strides to where Fred was. He looked extremely mad about something. I have to stop him before he ends up doing something and landing himself in jail.

Robbie's POVNext DayAs Mr. Olsen said, there was nothing found in the ruins of the house of Emaulsen, neither in Tony's blood-stream nor Twen. Though chloroform (it was banned in our country, and so, was illegal) was applied on Twen, its quantity was just enough for anesthetic purposes and because of its property of not staying in body for long, no trace was found. It was the same with Tony. The only medicine detected was NSAIDs drugs or in other words, just simple ibuprofen usually used for ridding of hangovers and was legal. The trace of the very same drug was also found in the glass that was collected from ruins. There was nothing whatsoever to prove Mr. Olsen's guilt or association with illegal drugs. It was so frustrating that I ended up wall punching and injuring my already injured hands (because of rashly breaking a wine glass) and ended up being scolded by mum.Fred who too came to meet Tony along with Sam, who was in the same hospital as Jenny, were all as frustrated as I w

Meeting Again 80-End Epilogue
(A short summary on the lives of all)( 5 months after the events of chap 98)Tony and Robbie happily married with the blessing of Ashley and his well-wishers. Tony sent the wedding invitation to his parents too against Robbie's wishes. Tony simply said,"They are the reason, I am in this world, they are the reason I met you, so no matter how much they despise me, I still want them to be part of my happiness"Robbie acknowledged that he could never win Tony with words! Tony was even prepared to forgive Mr. Walker's horrid deed, as he didn't want Robbie to be deprived of his father, however, Robbie straight off refused it."He had never been much of a father to me. He treated Roger more dearly than me" Robbie said with a slight tinge of despair.Tony never raised the topic again. He didn't want to see Robbie hurting. Twen and Robbie finally got time to bond. Twen, though very reserved in the beginning, slowly started opening up to Robbie's constant trying. Robbie made a fixed time for

Fred's POVNot even a month back in La Costa and I received a marriage invitation from Tony! Do you call it fate? I looked at the invitation feeling an odd sensation running through me. I can't pinpoint what feeling it was but I can describe it through an example. It was like seeing off your parents at the train station when you leave the house for the first time. As the train slowly picks up speed, you see your parents slowly disappearing from your view and an odd sensation settles in your heart. It was the very same sensation that was passing through me.I was due to return in a few days but now somehow, I just didn't feel like returning. I put the invitation beside me and looked at my half-filled restaurant, towards the customers who were enjoying their snacks, laughing cheerfully with their friends and family. I don't know why, the scenario, though beautiful, made me unhappy, so, I settled at staring outside the restaurant towards the sandy beach.A lot of thoughts were running th

Robbie's POVTanya had been inside Tony's room for quite sometime. I wonder what's going on. Hopefully, she can talk him out of his miserable state of mind. I had been quite useless in that regard. Twen was sitting on mum's lap reading a book. He had been getting very impatient waiting to see Tony,"Granny Ash, why can't I see mommy?" Twen asked in an upset voiceMum patted his head, "Honey, your mum is a little busy. His friend had come to visit him"Twen blinked innocently, "Friend? Is it Uncle Fred?"Mum laughed breezily, "No it's Tanya. Do you wanna meet her too?" mum asked to see Twen's upset expression replaced with a bright look.Mum just mentioned it and I heard a click on the door. Tanya came out along with Tony who looked extremely nervous. Before I could react, Twen bounced down my mum's lap and cried excitedly,"Mommy!!"Tony's anxious expression cleared on seeing Twen. Twen went running to him followed by my mum and wrapped his little arms round his waist. I saw Tony smil
