ANNAThe day was gradually turning into dawn and there hadn't been any request from Alfred or any of the guards handing me my phone to speak to my kids.I have no idea where they might be or what might be going on in their lives currently and thinking about the whole situation made me feel sick. The last time I managed to sneak in, to place a call to Alpha Mike I could hear the tiny murmur of my little kids in the background. But, for how long will they keep staying with Mason? “For how long will they keep staying with Alpha Mike?” I questioned myself rolling over to the other side of the bed with my body feeling restless while I pondered about the whereabouts of my kids. I know I can't just fold my hands without doing anything to see my kids because I know they all missed me. I was kidnapped away from them without giving them my final words or sealing their cheeks with a warm kiss. “I need to see my children!” I cried out loud in frustration with my voice almost at the top of the
I didn't bother to process the words that came out of her mouth when she mentioned my kids before I gravitated to her and punched her in her face.“How dare you say such a thing about my kids to my face?” I grabbed her hair from behind and pulled it tightly. “You are just making a fool out of yourself, Anna. The earlier you realize that if I can't have you then I'd have your kids the better for you.” she groaned in pain quietly still standing on her truth regardless of the pain she felt at the back of her head. I kicked her back with my other leg which wasn't bandaged at all until she fell on her knees. My hands went through all her hair and took it in one grasp. I pulled her head backward with one grasp so she could feel the heat coming out of her mouth while I spoke to her. “You dare not lay your hands on my kids. If you try to touch them then be ready for war.” I warned her vigorously and from every word that came out of her mouth she could see how serious I sounded. “If it's
MIKEThe day was gradually turning into dawn and I hadn't received a phone call from Anna after the last call that she called me in a panic state. I wandered around the room thinking about her current state of condition. My phone was sealed tightly in my hand as I paced back and forth waiting and hoping for Anna to give me more information. “How did she get kidnapped? Who exactly orchestrated this?” I questioned my Inner child with my face glancing at myself in the mirror. Hearing about Anna's kidnapped weakened everything in me and gave me a major reason to be angry at myself. I picked up the mirror as I spoke to myself, “Damn! I've been so foolish all my life.” “Why wasn't I there to protect her and fight for her from getting kidnapped?” I looked at myself in the mirror fighting so hard to get an answer. I walked over to the window looking out to check if I might at least get a glimpse of her to see if by chance she might show up. I looked from my left down to my right and the
MIKEAt this point, I was running out of ideas while still thinking of the next step to take. I don't want to give that little boy more space to come over to my face and spit out rubbish just because he thinks I'm behind his mother's sudden disappearance. Even though I'm trying so hard not to pop it to his face that his sweet mother has gone missing yet he keeps stepping on my nerves. Out of frustration I went over to my side table, picked up my phone scrolling through my contact list just to see if I still had Nico's number saved in my phone. “Where the hell is your number, Nico?” My voice was growing so loud out of frustration at not being able to get a glimpse of Nico's contact. My lips were tightened on my mouth with my teeth clenching on the soft surface of my lips while still scrolling effortlessly to locate Nico's number. “I think I need to calm down for a minute,” I muttered to myself tightly closing my eyes, inhaling and exhaling repeatedly to calm my nerves down a littl
MIKEThe moment I realized that Nico had hung up the call I sprang to my feet and started searching for my car keys. I wasn't even concerned and bothered about how I was scattering my table and the things that I had arranged earlier on as I kept on scavenging every corner and drawer of the table trying so hard to find my car keys. I was still unable to find my car keys until I bent over my body to the underneath part of the desk and there I caught a glimpse of the key staring at me on the floor. “Time to go to the cafe,” I whispered under my breath, grabbing the bottle of my fragrance to spray on my outfit. I went over to my coat stand and picked up one of my favorite coats to wear to fight back the cold that might be fighting its way through my skin. “I can't wait to rub my mind with Nico and get to hear some of the ideas that will help me get to the root of where Anna was kidnapped,” I spoke to my inner child applying my hand cream on my knuckles gently. Ping! Ping! I quickly
MIKEMy hands were gradually vibrating as I read the words that I received from Anna. The joy that I had on my lips when I saw that I finally got a text from Anna suddenly vanished off my lips after reading the text. I cleaned my eyes off my face to be sure that I wasn't dreaming after reading the text aloud. “Is this a dream or what?” I pinched myself to be sure that I wasn't dreaming at all and that was my reality. The towel I had on my waist gradually slipped off the moment I stood up from the bed in shock. If at all anyone wanted to send this text to me then it shouldn't be Anna. The same girl who had called me earlier to rant about her safety is now telling me to my face not to look for her. “What does Anna take me for? A fool?” I paced back and forth in my room still trying to understand what Anna was trying to point out in that text. “You don't want to be found by someone like me? Is it that I'm not worthy of her safety or what?” I pondered out loud with so much terror an
ANNA“Answer me, ANNA!” He raised his voice at me out of anger after I was unwilling to not give him an answer based on the question he had asked earlier. “What do you want me to say, Alfred? All! What I'm asking is for you to take me out of this place. I'm sick and tired of whatever games you want to play with me.” I cried out loud in pain and discomfort trying so hard not to be aggressive at him. “I can see that you've grown so many wings, Anna. In case you've forgotten because I know you have a short memory span you are just a weak omega.” he blurted out reminding me of who I am one more time.I walked around him as if I was counting my steps even though my anger was boiling so bad, “Alfred I know who I am and you don't have to keep reminding me all over again.” I jerked his shoulder off and headed straight to the door. I ignored his presence and raged the locked door in anger continuously while screaming at the top of my lungs. “Get me out of this place! Can someone please ge
ALFREDThe hotness of the food that was splashed on the floor touched a part of my skin and I groaned in anger. Every moment I try to come to terms with Anna she keeps unleashing different shades of character to my face. I wiped off the stain of the meal that was evident on my skin and picked myself up from the floor, “No matter how stubborn you want to be just have it at the back of your mind that your Stubbornness won't get you out of this place.”“Alfred, what point are you trying to prove by hoarding me in here without any access to my phone? Is this how you go about treating people that you consider weak?” She roared in a mix of anger and bitterness.“I have nothing to say to you, Anna. All I know is that you won’t be getting any food unless I ask them to give you a meal.”“How dare you, Alfred? Is it until I lose my mind that's when you'll get me out of this place?” She increased the intensity of her voice as she walked up closer to my face ready to get into a physical fight wi
MIKE. The loud sound of steps echoed loudly from within with my eyes scanning through the thick forest to be alert for where they’d be coming from. “What the hell is happening?” I said to myself trying to brace up for the aftermath. “One.. Two…” Zed raised his hands into the air, raising his voice so loud that one would be able to hear it echo through the silence of the room. Angrily I grabbed his collar, hitting his back on a tree I pestered him, rolling up my sleeves to question him, “What do you think you are doing?” “You haven't seen anything, Mike. Do well to sit back and enjoy the ride.” He kicked my underlegs and dashed through the edge of the forest that led to another path. The moment he caught a glimpse of me on the floor fighting my way through to stand on my feet, he put his fingers into his mouth and whizzled out, “Three! You all come out!” He screamed out loud before dashing out of the scene.Suddenly, I heard the steps approaching closer to me and this time around
MIKE.He looked at me and in his eyes, I was able to see his fears and the shock that I was able to overpower him with the strength in me. I pressed further my hands holding down his neck so tight waiting for him to give me a response before I unleashed my power on him. “Do you want me to disfigure your face before you answer me?” I said to him, moving my body closer to him so he'll be able to feel the tension in my voice.“Anna is in safe hands, Mike. You don’t have to be harsh on me because you need my help for you to be able to see her,” he responded with so much confidence in his voice.I knew he was right about his words because there is no way i'd see her without his help. Through his eyes, I was able to feel the coldness of his breath on my skin oozing out for every word that kept finding its way out of his mouth, “Take me there and before you take me to where she is I want you to tell me who the hell are you and how were you able to track my number.” I pushed further with my
ANNA.“Father, you can’t leave me like this. I need you right now and you know that we still have a long way to go so please wake up and tell me that you are still here with me.” Alfred held unto the tightness of his father, his mouth closer to Logan’s mouth as he brushed his breath against his father’s face trying his best to revive him up from his conciousness.His tears and anger in his voice touched my heart. Even though, I was still mad at him and had no love interest for him I still couldn’t stand the fact that he was in pain and I’d only be a wicked person to ignore his feelings and pain. Alfred was hurting and I wasn’t blind to not see it. In his eyes I saw the only true and authentic love he has for his father.Picking myself from the floor with my kids as we were all slightly injured, I dusted the soft dusty particles that hung on my skin and that of my kids while I Sandy and Mandy assisted in picking the bags from the floor, “Mum, we have to leave this place right away!” Sa
ALFRED:“Father!” I called out his name in shock, feeling surprised to see him standing right at the edge of the door. “What exactly are you doing here?” I asked him eager to hear his response because the last time I checked up on him he was still at his recovery stage. “I'm trying to do what you can't do, son.” He coughed out his words weakly, as he placed his hands on the door knob using it to find support. I felt cold shivers around my spine as he responded to me, “Father? Are you sure you don't want me to handle these things myself?”“Anna, please take your things and that of your siblings inside your room?” he stammered with his steps ignoring the question I asked earlier while he held down the door knob as a support. Anna grabbed her kids around her legs and looked at Alpha Logan with a demeaning look, “You want me to stay here after I've promised Mira that I'd keep to my words? Do you want her to come for me and my family?” Tears welled up in her eyes as she broke down in d
MIKE. “Not too fast Mike.” He took two steps behind, holding his gun down to his sides. Inside of me was boiling in ardent anger and rage. It felt as if I wanted to tear down every living cell in my body just to get the face of the person talking behind the mask, “Do you have the information I need based on the thing you sent to me?” I asked losing the patience in me. “Why are you so in a haste to force some words out of my mouth, Mike? Aren't you meant to be patient because I have what you need?” He asked, his voice clumsy and a bit serious. I groaned out loud, feeling a little bit under the weather as I wasn't comfortable with the question he was asking me and the way he was behaving towards me. I felt like something was off about him but I wasn't sure if my instincts were right or wrong. “What do you want from me? Did you call me here to prank me or what?” My eyes stared back at him coldly, challenging him back with every fiber of strength in me. “It seems like you don't want
MIKE. A cold shiver ran through my spine as I heard the command from behind. The voice was very deep and audacious and from the way the words sounded and came out of his mouth I knew from that moment that he wasn't joking at all. “Mike, are you okay?” The detective's voice echoed in the building from the phone. My hands were vibrating as I grew in cold feet. I was desperate to fill him up with some details but at the same time, I didn't want to be the reason why Anna would lose her precious life. “Mike! Tell me where you are and have me come pick you up immediately!” He commanded from the umpteenth time jeering me up to do the needful. The way he was sounding over the phone I could hear the thick sound of desperation coming through the phone. He was over ready to ensure that I was in safe hands and protected at all costs no matter how bad the situation was. I gulped down the thick saliva hoarding in my throat and didn't give him any response or make any sound to his hearings. “
MIKE. The building was looking so tattered and for the fact that it was an uncompleted building, my heart skipped for a minute. I was scared for the fact that I might be endangering my life for what was not worth it. I didn't inform my security personnel and shared with them my location so they could at least have a clue of what was happening currently in my life. “I hope this sacrifice I'm about to take just to be sure that I can get some information about Anna and where she'd have been won't end up costing my life,” I whispered under my breath, not certain about what the outcome might be. “Fuck it! I'll do this with my blood, sweat, and tears and it will work out fine.” I blurted out my words with a positive mindset as if I reached for the stairs. Walking to the floor where I was asked to meet him was a little bit deadly for one to pass through for the stairs wasn't balanced and for every step I took the rakes kept on shaking. My heart wasn't rest assured at all with the drastic
Anna.At this point, I was ready to do anything that she wanted me to do. My clothes were drenched in unending tears from seeing my kids being threatened by Mira and the fact that I’ve never seen them cry so badly also affected my mental health. The last promise I made to them before I went missing was that I’d protect them at all costs because never will I sit and watch my kids being treated like a slave when I’ve given them the life I once dreamt of. I don’t care what it’ll cost me or how it’s going to affect me but I was over ready to get things done and protect my kids before anything happens to them. Since, when they were brought in here they’ve been rushed from one hospital to another and that wasn't the life I envisioned for them. I braced myself up and asked her one more time, my feet stomping on the ground in agitation, “Can you please get to the point and stop wasting my time?”She heaved out a deep sigh, licking the dried corners of her lips, “I can see that you got some
ANNA. “You don't have to yell at me before I tell you what my conditions are, Alfred.” she shunned him up moving sluggishly to the other side of the wall with my kids. “Mira, can you just tell me what you want from me and allow my kids to go?” I beckoned on her with the last strength in me hoping that she'd at least reconsider and hand over my kids to me but Mira kept proving stubborn. “I never knew a day like this would come where you'll beg me like this, Anna.” She laughed at me in misery, “I thought things always work out for you but I guess one will never know until the table gets turned.” Alfred lashed out loud at her, “Can you stop beating around the bush and go straight to the point?” he was already angry and was fuming in anger as he couldn't stand her nonsense character and attitude being thrown to his face by her. “Like I earlier said, Alfred.” She heaved out a deep sigh of relief before proceeding to complete her words, “I won't hurt her kids under one condition.”“I w
