Bugging Ava’s house after receiving her spare key from Steve and making an extra copy of it had been the easiest thing in the world to do.Amanda had had Logan do it and according to him, it was such a seamless operation. For someone with such a high profile baby daddy, Ava sure as hell did not care about her safety.Prior to bugging the house, Logan had had the house monitored and noticed that no one was around for days, which made the whole thing easy enough.By the time Ava got back from wherever it was that she went to, Amanda could listen in on her conversations as much as she wanted.The one thing that absolutely disgusted her to listen to were the horrible sounds that the bitch made whenever she and Derek were going at it … which seemed to be any little spare time that they could get.Good gracious, Ava was one randy being! Amanda wondered how she and Derekalways managed to find time to have sex, considering that they had a little child in the house.However, it was none
"You’re kidding, right?” Steve asked Amanda, staring at her aghast. He had known that she would want something dangerous in return for helping him, but he hadn’t been anticipating something as dangerous as this.“I wish I was, but I'm not. You’re in the best position to do it. Logan, for some weird and stupid reason, refuses to do it. According to him, he doesn’t want anything to do with harming children, which is stupid as fuck, if you ask me. It has to do with his principles, or whatever. The child knows you though, and trusts you, so …”“She used to trust me. She doesn’t trust me anymore. Her stupid father poisoned her mind against me, so no surprise there.”“It doesn’t matter. I'm sure you can find a way to get her to come to you. That’s all you literally need to do. Grab her and bring her to me, and you're no longer indebted to me.”“And how do you propose I go about doing that? Enter into her mother’s house and snatch her under the watchful eyes of her mother or nanny or w
That awful day dawned bright and early. It was such a beautiful morning that belied the tragedies that would unfold later that day. Birds chirped happily, people went about their businesses and everything seemed quite fine.Harper was beside herself with excitement because that day was her friend’s birthday party, and Derek had bought her loads of gifts days ago, which she was to present to the celebrant.Ava had noticed that despite how young Harper was, she enjoyed giving, just like her father, and that was a lovely trait to have.For some reason, despite how normal the morning was, Ava had a deeply unsettling feeling in her gut, but she couldn’t for the life of her figure out why this was so.Derek had left her place very early this morning so he could fly over for his conference, so it was just her and Harper in the house. Ava couldn’t wait for him to come back so she could know exactly where they stood.Around three in the morning, when he had to leave so he could go to the airpo
Contrary to what Amanda thought, snatching up Ava’s daughter turned out to be a herculean task. She had prepared adequately for the day but definitely didn’t think that it was going to take as much time as doing it took. Logan had had to travel three days before with the guy who he had hired to kill Derek, so it was just her, Steve, and Denise, whom she had told about what she intended to do. They followed Ava’s every move right from when she left her house with her daughter until she dropped off the child at the park where the party was going to be held. That was when Amanda began to realize that snatching the kid wouldn’t be as easy as she had thought it would be. For starters, there were adults who supervised the whole thing everywhere. They didn’t let the kids out of their sight for even a minute, which meant that going close to any of the kids at that point was going to be very obvious and an alarm could be raised, which would not bode well for them. Still, she had anticipate
Harper had broken off from the group of children and was now merrily chasing another little girl who looked to be the same age as her and was the same size as well.As Amanda and her group observed them keenly, the children ran towards the parking lot, where the car that Amanda had rented was parked.They weaved in between the parked cars, enjoying their game of chase with reckless abandon. “Steve, get ready. They may run over to this side soon.” Amanda hissed at Steve.“But there’s two of them. What are we going to do about the other child?”“Well, I don’t know. Grab her as well. They’re just little kids. How hard can it be? Perhaps you should go to the backseat and Denise should come to the front seat so it’ll be easier for you to grab them, and make sure not to fuck this up." Amanda said.Although he was unwilling to do so, Steve did as she asked. By this time, the children had disappeared from sight again."Shit! When next they come around here, you're going to get down fr
Ava had been busy all morning with working on her script despite the fact that nowadays, she constantly felt tired as hell, because of the pregnancy.She certainly didn't remember being this tired during Harper's pregnancy, but maybe that was because she had spent most of her time crying and ruing the day that she met Derek back then.By the time it was afternoon, she decided to take a nap for at least an hour, after which she was going to head over to the park to pick up Harper, who was no doubt having a field day at her friend's birthday party.Derek had called Ava that afternoon to ask how she and Harper were faring.He did that all the time so that it was almost as though they were in a serious relationship, or even married.That, among other things, must have been why she fell for him so fast again after literally hating him for years.Just hearing his voice reminded Ava how much she missed him, even though he had literally only just left.Ava knew that if it turned out that they
Ava came to with the sound of frenzied knocking on her door and sat up groggily, disoriented for a little while. It didn't take her long to remember what had happened, or why she found herself on the ground, and she bolted up from the ground where she was sitting immediately she remembered.She regretted this sudden movement when her head swam and took a minute to steady herself, while the person who was at the door kept on knocking.As though on cue, her phone also chose that moment to ring shrilly, adding to the noise that the incessant knocking was already producing.Ava wasn't in the mood to receive visitors right then, but she remembered that Harper was still with her friend's mother and the woman could be the one who was knocking to drop her off.The television was still on, but news about Derek wasn't on it any longer. Derek was dead? No, of course not, he wasn't.There was no way on earth he would be dead. She must have dreamt the whole thing up. She snatched up her pho
Amanda hadn't felt this exhilarated in a long while. She hadn't bargained for getting an extra kid when she planned to kidnap Derek’s daughter, but the whole operation had gone so smoothly that she couldn't complain. All she had to do after they got the children in the car was to hand Denise the gun and ask her to go in the backseat of the car so she could watch over the terrified children. After that, she asked Steve to come sit with her in the passenger seat where she could keep her eyes on him, because she didn't trust him one bit. It was crazy that even Denise had way more balls than he did. Derek’s daughter was a pain in the ass because she started to scream as soon as she realised what was happening, but Amanda was quicker than that. She turned around and delivered a sharp slap to the little girl's face, effectively silencing her. However, that only lasted for a short while, before Harper was telling them all about how they were going to go to the place where bad peop
