KAYA Nora was right. I was pregnant..I also didn't believe it when the doctor told me..I gave birth to my daughter, Lana last week. She was the most beautiful thing to ever exist and I felt like I'd fallen in love all over again. She came out looking like Adrian which pissed me off so much. “According to my father, a girl has not been born into this family in ten centuries. But you, my Queen, gave me a daughter. You made me a special father and I love you for that.”“So you weren't a special father when you had us?” Milo asked. Adrian barely turned around to look at him. “Shoo, everyone has seen you. I'm speaking to my wife and my daughter.”I laughed..”She’s going to be so spoiled.”Adrian was very good at spoiling kids and that's why Adrian was going to be just as his father was. Spoilt. “You can say that again. She's going to be daddy's girl. My little princess.”She made me happy and she made all of us happy. She was a blessing. Adrian had to leave because a guard called
KAYA I followed them downstairs, not being able to sit there anymore. I was not going to sit there when a psychopathic murderer was on the loose with no one knowing his whereabouts. Nora and Adrian were talking in hushed voices and I walked up to them to hear what they were saying. But they stopped talking as soon as they noticed my presence. “What’s going on? What's the update?” They looked at each other and I didn't like it. “Can someone tell me what's going on?”Nora walked away while Adrian turned to me and grabbed my shoulders. “Kaya, you don't have to worry, okay? I assure you that I'll take care of everything. You won't have to worry. I'm working to make sure that he's caught. It won't be long now.”I knew that he could catch him quickly but it didn't give me a sense of relief, especially the fact that he was not in chains. “Why didn't you just get rid of him when you had the chance? Killing him would not have affected her birth, you know?*I wasn't blaming him for t
KAYA I screamed. With everything in me, I screamed. It only took Adrian two seconds to come flying into the room. “What’s going on?”It only took him another two seconds to access the room and see the blood. “Where’s the baby? What happened to her? Why's there blood? Whose blood is that? Where is she?”I couldn't move. I just stood there looking at the empty blanket as if I could see her.Nora joined us in the room. “What happened?”I don't know what Adrian said to her because I had already disconnected by that time. My legs went away and I fell to the floor. My chest was heavy and my breathing heavier as my brain tried to remember where the hell my baby was. Adrian came to crouch beside me and he shook my shoulders. “Kaya, now's not the time to cry. Where is the baby?”I opened my mouth to talk but nothing came out. I just stayed staring at him.“Kaya ! Say something! Where is my child?!”Him shouting at me got me scared and it pushed back the words I wanted to say. “Adria
ADRIANThat bastard had the guts to come into my house and take my child.After everything that he had done, this was more than he could chew. No one knew what had happened aside from Nora and Kaya . I wanted to keep it that way. We would find him one way or another with my baby safe and sound. Kaya wasn't saying anything. Not just to me, to anyone. I'd asked Nora if she'd spoken to her and she said no. When I tried to approach her, she walked away.It was driving me nuts and I needed to know what she was doing. “Adrian , I need your help. Can you recognize Lana's smell?”Nora handed me the blanket still stained with blood and it got my stomach in a knot but I didn't let it show. “Yes, I can.”“I need to make sure that it's her blood. At least, we'll know that she's safe and sound.”The entire blanket smelt like her so it won't be hard to figure out if someone else's scent was mixed up somewhere. But when I smelt it, it was just her. “I will kill him, Nora . I will give
ADRIANI grabbed the note pad and ran out of the room, going to our room to look for her. How did she- That's why she was with Nora during the interview. “Alpha, we found something.”I stopped to look at Peter. “Can it wait? I have something to do right now.”“No, it can't. It needs your urgent attention..I think you should see this.” What the hell could it be? “Fine then, what is it?”I went downstairs with him. Two guards were standing in the centre ground, with clothes in their hands. “Is that what I think it is?”They were Lana's clothes. And it had their blood on them. “Alpha, that's not the only thing we found.” I didn't like his tone. I didn't want to believe it. No, it couldn't be..“Whatever it is, can wait. Not a word of this to anyone..not a single soul. Not even Nora , do I make myself clear? Take them and keep them in my office along with whatever you found. Not a soul!”I walked away, leaving them there. If Mark harmed my daughter…I wouldn't be able to stand i
ADRIAN“You didn't know he wanted to harm the princess?! What did you think a random stranger asking you for such a thing wanted to do? Give her a surprise party?!”If I was employing such stupid guards, I wonder what else has gone wrong in this house because of them. “What else did you do?” “I found them and told them about the plan. He said he was going to pay us as soon as the job was done.”If they were there, that means they saw them when the baby was taken. I asked the two others who were on the second floor. “No, as soon as they passed, they asked us to leave. Their faces were covered with a hood. It was only later we learnt of the princess's abduction.”So these men stood by while my daughter was being taken. “And just like that, they left. They took the child and left.”Well at least, I'm getting somewhere. That meant that Mark wasn't working alone. That meant he had someone else working for him, most definitely on the inside as usual. “Take them away. I don't want to
ADRIAN It was taking too long for them to bring him to me so I went out myself. “What the hell is the hold up? Why can't you find him?”“I have no idea, Adrian. I don't know. He was just here right now.”This was insane. Did that mean I couldn't trust any of my men anymore? Why were they dead if he had put them in the cells himself? “The men said they last saw him a few minutes ago walking out of the cells. Of course, they didn't suspect a thing.”This was bullshit. Cold blooded murder right under my nose. The audacity! “Get men out there! None of them are to come back until they come with a solution. They should bring him back here!”She began walking away. “And Nora ! Tell Allister to bring himself back here. I need him now.”I couldn't even remember where he was because of the amount of things clouding my mind. “I'll let him know, Alpha. I'll be out in the field if you need me.”All I could do was wait until they returned. In the meantime, I remembered that he had dropped
KAYA I saw him. Mark. I saw him standing over her with a knife in his hand and I screamed but he wouldn't stop plunging the knife into her. I ran to stop him and that's when I realized that I had been chained to the wall. He cackled loudly, disturbing my ears and tears blinded my vision. “You will suffer. I will kill all your children, Luna. And you will stand by and watch.” To the side, I saw Milo and the twins also being held by men and I couldn't do anything. All I could do was beg. Cry and beg. “You can't do anything to save them, Luna. You can't. So give it up and give me what I want.”My body was getting weak from trying to get out of these chains. But my daughter was with him and I needed to see her. “I don't know what you want. Tell me and I'll give you.”I noticed that the chains were falling off the wall.With one strong pull, I should be able to get them off. And that's what I did. I used yeh chains to hit him across the face, causing him to fall to the ground
KAYA“Why were you calling me? What happened?” This was the first time in almost two weeks that I was this close to him. This was also the first time in two weeks that I was smelling my husband's cologne again. “I thought you were dead. I got called today and I thought the accident was you. Turns out you were too busy having fun to even pick my calls.” He looked like he was done with my bullshit and technically, I didn't care. “Why do you keep saying this? I just told you that I misplaced my phone. What more do you want from me? I apologized for not coming to the station quickly. But how was I supposed to know? I didn't have my phone.”Was that the excuse he was going for? When I turned around to face him, he knew he had said something stupid. “You don't need a damn phone call to know when your wife is not in the house. Usually, you can feel her absence and when she's not in bed next to you, you get your ass up and go look for her. I guess I can only count on Nora to save me.”I
KAYAWhen I got tired of hearing Nora give the man hell, I got up. “Nora, it's okay. He has already apologized. Detective, if it's not my husband in the car, please who is it?”We looked down the hill at the car. The firefighters had just successfully put out the fire and they were trying to raise the car unto the pavement. “It's Alisha's car.” That was another shock and I couldn't help the way I reacted. “What did you say?”That's when I looked back at the car and it finally looked familiar. I had seen it in the driveway when I went to her house. “W-what happened?”“As for now, we have no idea. We can't exactly say what happened to her but we will know more when we investigate.”We had to give them space as they dropped the car on the pavement. Before long, a car pulled up and Tobias and some other men joined us. “My Queen, good day. I just got word that you came here.” Being here meant that it was truly important. I wanted them to treat it as such because now, we didn't have
KAYA That meant that Tim didn't know that Lucy was trying for a kid again. “I’ll come see you later, Tim. Just hang in there. You'll be out in a bit okay?”“That’s not what matters to me, Luna. I just want you to find who killed my wife. That's the only time I'll truly be at peace. If I get out without knowing what happened to Lucy, my life would never be the same.”I could understand his point. “And I'll do everything in my power to make sure that I find who did this. And I'll make them pay. I'll see you later.”I left him and went back upstairs. “I was about to come down to meet you. I've put people out to look for her. We should get news before the end of tomorrow.” I didn't see Lana in her arms so I figured that someone else had her or she had fallen asleep. I had been focusing on the wrong person so much that she had time to run away and we had no idea. But then, there was no way that I could have caught onto her trickery. If I hadn't gone to the house and decided to cal
KAYAHe nodded. “When she eventually told Lucy and Lucy told me, it happened to fall on a date when I was in the hospital for the injury on my leg. There was no way I would have been out because I was in surgery and I didn't wake up until three weeks later. When Lucy realised, she apologized to me and came back home. I forgave her. I didn't blame her one bit.“Alisha is manipulative. When she noticed that things were good again, she came for me. Lucy had to travel for some work. One night, I came back and found her in my home in nothing but lingerie. She climbed in through the window. I didn't even want to hear what she had to say before I asked her to get out. She cried and begged, saying that I wasn't being fair with her and that it wasn't fair that Lucy had to get everything she'd ever wanted. She said that Lucy didn't have to know what was going on between us and that we could keep it a secret.“The fact that she had lied against me before just made me even more angry and since s
KAYA She stayed on the phone for quite a while, while I asked the maid to get me something to eat. Maybe because I had rushed my food, I didn't feel like I'd eaten anything. She got off the phone before I could get my food. ”What’s going on? What did he say?”I could see the disappointed look on her face.“He says the house is empty. It's like no one ever lived there. She packed up everything and left.” What? Packed up and left? “Why would she do that? How the hell didn't he see that she was leaving?” ”He said she must have done it in the dead of night. I don't know. I'll only run when I have something to hide.” Did Alisha run? Or was she forced into leaving? With Alisha not in the picture, that just left a lot of loose ends untied. There were a lot of questions to ask her and now that she was MIA, there was no one to ask them. “I need to see Tim. I'll be right back.” Since I couldn't get to Alisha, I might as well speak to someone who might have known her. I need to know
KAYANora helped me grab the first aid box and as soon as I put the soaked cotton wool to her skin, she turned around and looked at me like I had betrayed her. “I’m sorry, I'm sorry. I'll soon be done.” I threw that one out and went in another time with another soaked cotton wool. She didn't flinch for that one. “Well, that means I can't put on another diaper for her.”I just put a bandage over the wound and put on another diaper. “Who helped her get dressed today?”“I don't know, I'm guessing it's a maid. she was already dressed by the time. I went to pick her up.”Since I wasn't exactly having anything to do outside the house, I'm guessing I would be spending a lot of time inside. Sandy and Alisha were coming over. “I’ll be at home today so I'll take care of her. Are you going out?” She shrugged. “I don't know yet. Adrian might want me to do something for him today.” Adrian…“Okay then. Please call Sandy and Alisha to check again if they're still coming. I don't want to spen
KAYAI slept in my room alone again today.Right now, I wasn't fighting with Adrian but I didn't want to be in the same room as him. Because no matter how much I tried to avoid it, we would most definitely fight.And right now, I didn't have the strength or will power to get into a fight with him. He however, didn't understand what I was trying to do.He wanted to fight. And I didn't.So he came to my room that night to look for me.I didn't even know it was him. I thought it was Milo who had come to tell me that Lana had fallen asleep. I had to leave her with him because I was falling asleep and since she still had so much energy in her, he took her.“Come in!” I simply shouted without even turning aroud.When I heard the door opend and shut, I close
KAYA“Detective, I'm sure it goes without saying that a man who killed his wife won't jeopardize himself. Tim didn't do this.”I'm pretty sure he had gottne that memo so I dismissed him after reminding him to find Lucy's phone quickly.I didn't think that whoever took it would be stupid enough to leave it on but I had to count on that little possibility that they were and hope that they could find the phone.When the detective left, Tobias remained.“Nora, can you check on the kids for me? Lana should be having her second bottle by now.”She nodded and left, realising that I didn't want to speak to Tobias in front of her.“Tobias…”“You realise that what your officers have done is unforgivable. What if we are never able to find who
KAYA“When Tim told you that he had seen a keychain and a bag on the counter, why didn't you believe him?” “Because we didn't see it for ourselves. We thought he was trying to throw us off. He had just been caught with his wife's body. He'd do angbting to get out.” While that was right, it was also stupid. Would he kill and stay here to mourn her? “He was crying. Tim was crying when he was found right? Would a murderer cry after his killing? Or would he run as fast as he can so he won't be found?”Seemed like there was a whole lot more to police work than passing the military exam. “My Queen, psychopathic serial killers have done worse from cutting up the victim's bodies to -” “Is Tim a psychopathic serial killer?” That question threw him off guard but he had to answer it. I needed answers. “My Queen-”“It’s a simple question, detective. Is he or is he not?” “He’s not.”I was tired of speaking to him. It was annoying. “So why would you classify him with them? Do you have proo
