Laura's POVThe ringing of my phone made me finish my bath quickly. It was the anonymous caller ID. Instantly, I felt the rise and fall in my chest, my heart palpitations increasing as I felt like I'd explode anytime soon.Why was he calling now?I picked up my phone with shaky hands, my lips quivering as I patted my lips and said. “H-Hello?”A laughter came from the background. A kind of laughter my ears perked up to recognize. It sounded familiar, but I wouldn't predict just yet.“It's so nice to have this conversation with you again, Laura Karma,” Came my anonymous caller's voice which only made me to tremble more.No matter how hard I tried to hold back the tears that threatened to obstruct my vision, I couldn't bring myself to bear it anymore. “W-Where's my Mum? Bring her back to me!” I screamed, mustering the courage to speak up and he laughed again.“You know, it's so funny how you never learn from your mistakes, Laura. A simple instruction, you wouldn't follow. You keep going
Aaron's POV“You need to come alone,” I said in a husk voice, grinning widely at the woman who was before me, tears leaking out of her eyes.It gave me joy seeing her teary. I loved it whenever she cries and screams for help that she can never get.Laura's mother.Laura has been so stupid to never recognize this voice. For months, she still hasn't found out who was the owner of this voice. Despite how I spoke effortlessly, she never ceased to amaze me with her stupidity.So sluggish in learning.Yuck, that sucks.I heard her sniff. I knew she must be in tears, and it made me more ecstatic.“Why do I need to come alone?” She asked after so much deafening silence of no chats between us, and I groaned in return.“Will you stop asking me questions and listen to my instructions? You're such a lousy mouse, and if you keep tasting my patience this way, I might end up killing your damn mother!” I texted, already burning with anger.“No... Don't touch her. Please don't touch my Mum. I will do
Sasha's POV“Is it done?” I asked Aaron as he strode in, all sweaty.“She wasn't so easy to get, such a hard time,” He blew it off, going to sit on an armless chair.“Was this your plan all along?” I asked, unable to stop myself from asking.“What's your problem, Sasha? Are you backing out of this now?” He yelled at me.“I'm not backing out of anything, Aaron! I was simply asking if this was your plan all along? To kidnap her?” I retorted.“Yes, it was part of my plan to track her down. And now that I have her, I'm never letting her go until Eric succumbs to me. He will surely go crazy when he finds out his darling wife is nowhere to be found,” He replied and stood up again as he walked over to the cellar, bringing out a pomegranate martini.“Cheers to a new level,” “Cheers,” I smiled slowly. This wasn't the time for celebration. Aaron had just created chaos. This wasn't part of our plan to kidnap her. Though, I never liked Laura, but we hadn't planned it this way. I knew what fate
Eric's POVI stared at the corps, unable to move from my spot. “What do you mean by Laura has gone missing?” I inquired, quirking my brows at them. My eyes slide to Agatha and Sasha then back to them.“That was the same information we got, and that's why we request you to come with us, Mr Eric,” One of them said firmly.I scoffed, rubbing my fingers on my chin. “Which information? Who told you that!” I snapped at them.What bullshit were they talking about?I left Laura home with Sasha so why the heck were they saying she has gone missing? Who took her?“Sasha, where is Laura? Take me to her now! These corps are insane!” I glared at Sasha. “Sir...”What?“Sasha!”“The corps are right, Eric. I think she's missing,” Agatha interjected sardonically. “You are just ridiculous. She might be in her room,” I shook my head, finding it difficult to believe she had gone missing.Again, who took her?Obviously, no one would get past those amount of securities into the house and take her! Someo
Eric's POVPlan 1 halfway ruined.Aaron was smart enough to get away from that one.My eyes peered to Brandon who looked restless as he swept his hair with his fingers, still keeping tabs on Aaron that was on the speaker.“What if we lured you to answer this call? Does that change anything?” I replied to him. “Nice try, Eric.” He smirked. “You're out of prison, why aren't you coming for me?” I continued, scarring my brows. I wanted him to say it himself. Though I didn't have proof of him capturing Laura, but I wanted to clear my doubts by making him fall into my court.“Come for you? What if I said I've already started that?” He snickered from the speaker and I scoffed. “How? I'm still yet to believe that you're out of there. Nice skill you've got, Aaron Walker.” I taunted, gritting my teeth in anger.“Yeah, nice skill I've got. Want to hear more surprise?” He retorted with a question. I curved my brows, swallowing the lump that formed in my throat as I parted my lips.“What other
Eric's POV“You're seriously bleeding, Agatha. We need to call the doctor,” I concluded, trying to pull back towards the house, but she resisted, still bent on saying something.She looked shocked. Like she had received the most shocking thing in her life. For the first time, my sister appeared fragile and speechless as I paused, waiting for her to say whatever she had to say to me. “She... She...”I sighed and rubbed my eyes, exhausted. “Let's get you inside first, and relax, then you speak.” I countered, forcing her back to the house. After so much resistance, she nodded and trailed behind me.Whatever my sister had seen was indeed traumatizing that left her numb.I wondered what happened to Sasha.“Eva,” I summoned the maid, Eva almost immediately and ordered to bring in the first aid kit. Agatha hated Doctors, she hated the smell of hospitals so calling on the doctor would be rendered useless.“Here you go, Sir.” She returned and handed me the kit. I turned to Agatha, who kept g
Aaron's POV“Is it done?” I asked her (Sasha) over the phone, my brows quirking enthusiastically. I was eager to hear the good news of having Eric behind bars. He needed to have a thirst of the same medicine he fed me with, but it was going to be a lot different because I'd make sure he rots in there.“Yes. I couldn't believe that was so easy. You should have seen the victory smile that danced on my lips,” She blabbered and I chuckled.“How does it feel now?” I croaked and she heaved a sigh of relief. “Your plan wasn't that bad. Eric Sloan is finally put behind bars. Now our plans will go smoothly as we've planned.“That's the Spirit,” “Um, I think I have to...”“Hey, Sasha!” Agatha?That sounded like Agatha's voice. I decided not to hang up on the call with Sasha, so I'd listen to what she had to spew.“Oh, if it isn't Agatha Sloan,” Came Sasha's voice. I was sure she was unaware that I was still on the phone with her.“What did we ever do to you, Sasha? Why did you lie to the corp
Laura's POVI screamed at the intense pain that wracked down my spine and for a moment, I felt like I'd die. Aaron was a monster, a bloody one who wouldn't care even if I'd lost my life.I watched as he tucked his gun back to his pants before walking out of the deserted room.Blood oozed out of my mouth as I surveyed my environment. I was locked inside a room without a bed or other things except for the chair I was tied with.My face scrunched up as the pain kicked in again. No... Not my baby.“Stay strong for me, baby. I promise, we'll eventually get out of here.” I mumbled under my breath as I struggled to free up myself from the damned chair.I was still struggling until I heard a yelp which made me pause. My ear perked up at the owner of the voice which sounded recognizable.Someone was in here with me?Wait.... Aaron had another person to deal with the same way he was dealing with me?Pain crutched my chest as I thought of Eric. I was so senseless not to have given him a hint th
