THREE MONTHS LATERAfter the whole ordeal, we all took a break because we needed to clear our heads. Sorin and I especially.He finally put capable hands in charge of the company at L.A. For Daisy, and Jake's father, they were both thrown behind bars for attempted murder, and many other counts I can't even remember.Jake was thrown in jail for rape and being an accomplice. His henchmen were arrested too.Mr and Mrs Miles, my so-called parents, were locked up for stealing an infant from her mother and maltreatment.In short, Sorin and Kelvin made sure that everyone who needed to be arrested were found and thrown behind bars for at least 25 years.One evening, as I tried to sort out some emails for Sorin, dressed, and waiting for him to take me out to dinner like he promised, Anne suddenly barged in, panting heavily.“What is going on? What happened?” I asked, completely confused and bothered.“S… Sorin. It's Sorin.” She said, out of breath.Hearing his name, my heart skipped a beat.“W
THREE DAYS LATERMy eyes slowly fluttered open, to see Sorin beside me, holding my hand.“Babe?” I called out gently.“Babe! You're awake. Oh my goodness. Thank God!” He hugged me with all excitement within him.“Ouch.” I winced in pain.“Oh, I'm sorry.” He quickly pulled back. “How do you feel? Are you still in much pain? Does your head hurt? Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?” He asked numerous questions to the point that I didn't know which one to answer first.“Babe, calm down. I'm okay.” I tried to sit up, but he immediately stopped me.“Just lay down. Don't stress yourself, please.” He pleaded with me.Staring at me, he began to apologize, “I'm so sorry.”“It's all my fault. I let you out of my sight again and this happened.” He said, sadly.“Shhhhhhh….” I gently shushed him. “You don't have to apologize. No one knew this could happen. It's not your fault.”“Thank you.” He kissed my forehead.“How was I found though?” I asked, completely curious.He shook his head, slo
“Geez! You guys are the devil's incarnate. How could you do such a thing to her?” Anne lamented, while Sorin and Kelvin just stared at the duo, wondering how people could be so wicked and insensitive.“And where is she now?” Sorin asked them.“We heard she passed away a few months after we ran off with her child.” My mum said, guiltily.“You deserve to be arrested and stoned to death, honestly.” Sorin said, coldly.Kelvin suddenly got a call and stepped away. While he was away, the police arrived and arrested my parents.Kelvin arrived shortly after with news. “We have some news.”“What is it?” Sorin asked, in anticipation.“This might sound unbelievable, but the first kidnap was ordered by none else, but Jake Richardson.” Kelvin revealed, shaking his head in shock. “The cops are on their way to get him.”“Wait, what?!” Anne exclaimed in shock.“That bastard!” Sorin clenched his fists. “I knew he was up to no good. My instincts never lie.”“But why? Why would he do such a thing? Was i
Shocked by what was in his hands, Sorin couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing. “What is this? Are you sure there are no mistakes?” He asked, still trying hard not to believe.Kelvin shook his head. “There aren't any mistakes. I had them run the tests over and over again. They even had to leave what they were doing earlier because I told them how urgent this was. Three different people ran the tests multiple times and arrived at the same answer.” He explained in detail.Anne couldn't believe her eyes. “You mean these people are not her biological parents?” Anne said out loud, and my so-called parents sprung to their feet in complete surprise.“What are you talking about?” My mum asked, putting up a front.“You are not her biological parents! That's what the test says.” Kelvin reiterated, angrily.“How dare you take a paternity test behind our backs?” My mum yelled, upset.“That is not the bone of contention here, damn it!” Sorin thundered, and my parents shook.“Did you guys adop
“What the actual hell!” Sorin roared, shocked beyond words.“What the hell are you doing here? And who granted this clown access?” He yelled, trying to put his temper under control.“Can you calm down? Someone is fighting for her life here. Don't be dramatic.” Jake responded, his sole intent to upset Sorin.Completely upset, Sorin tried to throw a punch at him, but Kelvin quickly came to the rescue.It was obvious that Sorin and Jake never saw eye to eye. They were competitors and Sorin hated him for the stunt he pulled last time. The one where he paid reporters to post about him being a cheat and a weakling.Thorough investigations showed that he was responsible and Sorin's hatred for him grew by a million dozens.Kelvin pulled Sorin aside, saying, “Please calm down, he is only trying to get under your skin. Reporters are outside. You know how hungry they are for any news they can get their hands on at a time like this.”“They'll only blow this out of proportion without understanding
HOURS LATER AT THE HOSPITAL Anne paced in the hospital’s VIP private waiting area, looking distraught. She had been in the hospital for hours, yet she had not been granted access to see me. The doctors had told her that I was in a very critical condition and was in no position to see anyone.Hours earlier, just at the brink of death, the police had barged into the kidnapper's den and had found me almost lifeless.Apparently, after the attack at the house, they had been alerted and the search for me had immediately begun. The news of my kidnap had made it to social media and the news had spread like wildfire, with every district of police department searching every nook and cranny of the country for me.They searched for hours, yet there was still no sign of me. Thankfully, Sorin had instructed all teams to track my bracelet.There was a particular bracelet he had bought for me when he was still trying to apologize to me. What I didn't know was that it was a custom made bracelet with
