FOUR MONTHS LATER
It's been four months, four months since I last saw my daughter and each passing day has been more torturous than the one before.
I stopped going to work and had Luke manage it for me, what kind of mother would even go to work when her child is missing? Luke and Noah have been living with me since the day of the incident, Luke even spent a week with me at the hospital after we heard the news.
We announced the news of her kidnap on virtually every media we came across.
I'm so grateful to have gotten a man like Luke and his brother -Noah- in my life. Despite the fact that Luke knew who was responsible for the child I am carrying and how, he still calls the child our baby and also takes good care of me but that isn't enough to take a mother's mind away from her missing child.
I don't even know why her kidnapper hasn't called me

AVAMy mind keeps running in the different directions since this morning and I just can't help it."Stop thinking too much about anything and just eat," Luke told me while raising the meal to my mouth."How are things at the office?, How is Tracy handling everything?" I asked with my mouth half filled with food."Everything is going on well Ava, and as it is, your company is close to becoming the number one in not just this state but the nation too." He said and laughed happily but stopped when he saw the look on my face."Aren't you excited by the news?" How could I possibly be?"Luke, do you think Isabelle was right about what she said yesterday and it's possible Gwen has Melissa?" I asked him and he sighed."Do you think I haven't thought about that?, the truth is that even if she were, we don't have evidence an

LUKEIf life was a wish granting factory, I would have wished not for myself but for Ava to always be happy no matter what and that would have been the best thing I've ever done in my entire life.I've never met a woman who still stands firm even during this difficult time she is going through. Ava has been through hell and now it was as if she was at the top of a volcano which was on the verge of erupting.Each time I come up to the room which we share, it's either she's grabbing onto a picture of Melissa or her clothes. Just yesterday I found her holding Melissa's birth certificate and staring at it without blinking, I even called her name times without number but she remained there.I was still thinking when I saw her step out of the closet in a flare floral dress or better still, maternity dress.She sat in front of the dresser, trying to comb and dry her hair whe

AVAIt was Saturday already and there was still no news about Melissa's whereabout.Luke had asked me to join him in the kitchen so I could give him a hand in baking but I knew that he just wanted me around so he could keep an eye on me and distract me so I don't think too much.He even had to bring a dining chair that has arms into the kitchen and even padded it with pillows so I could sit comfortably on it.He was making me cakes and at the same time looking my way every now and then, winking at me whenever I caught him staring and wiggling his eyebrow to make me laugh."That reminds me, Stacey called." He told me while mixing the flour.

He explained and an idea struck in my head that instant making me smile in excitement and brightening up my face."That's all I found. You have to sign these papers unless our contract would be bridged and we'd make a huge loss again for the third time this week."

AVA SIX YEARS LATER. Few years ago, my life was in total chaos, like a roller coaster that only goes up -non stop- despite the yelling and crying of those in it, it just keeps going up and without control. However, when I thought I was all done for, the heavens decided to open up and smile on me once more, dusting off the dirt that I had been decorated with and coating me with happiness, a kind I had never felt before. I once never had anything aside my daughter, Melissa, but now with my head raised high, I could beat my hand on my chest and brag about a family, my husband and four beautiful children. "Morning mama." My second child Madison greeted me and planted a kiss on my chin while I was placing her meal on the dining table. "Slept well?" I asked her while caressing her round face and she smiled while nodding her head but I could tell that her attention was more on the scrambled eggs on her plate than on me. She is a complete foodie and sometimes I fear that I may run out

AVAThree Years Ago"Can I come in?" I begged as the rain pounded against both the pavement and my skin, making me shiver from the brisk cold feeling that spread throughout my body. My teeth chattered while I stood outside begging him to open the door and at least listen to me.Ignoring the after effect the rain had on me, I called out to him again. Through the window I could see him sitting on the couch, he was still in the blue three piece suit he had worn to the event we had both attended."Please, Ryan just listen to me! You're getting it all wrong!" I said, practically yelling at the top of my lungs just so I could be heard over the sound of the rain and thunderstorm. I knew I was nowhere near as loud, but I was sure he heard me, "Can, you ah-t lee-east o-open the do-or. P-p-l-leease," I said through gritted teeth, as a result of the shiver s

AVA "Melissa! Melissa!!" I called the name of my two year old daughter as I frantically opened the doors of every room in the house. I trotted down the stairs as fast as my legs would take me. I walked towards the kitchen to find a small human seated on the floor with her back to me. "Lissa, you scared Mama" I tsked, approaching her. She giggled, glancing at me before looking back at what she was doing. Her magical, dark blue eyes always remind me of Ryan's when I stared into them. Her black hair and pointed nose, however, were mine. She is a perfect combination of Ryan and I. I peeked over her tiny shoulders, "What are you doing?" "Dwaing. Mama see." Lissa told me, showing me a paper. The lines were out of place and the drawing was rough but I could still make out what she was trying to draw.

AVA "You don't look good, Ava. I think you need medical attention. You have been throwing up endlessly, it's possible you have an allergy." Luke told me, looking very worried and he was right. I haven't been myself since the day I saw Ryan at the park and I don't know why. I have been so fatigued these days and it's terrifying. Luke and Noah have been trying to make me go to the hospital, even Melissa but I can't go there, I hate hospitals. They make me even more sick than I was supposed to be once I entered the building. The air there seems different and inhaling it causes me so much nausea and stomach ache. I just can't stand anything that has to do with a hospital. "Don't worry about me Luke, I'll be fine by the way could you get me a big bowl of ice-cream from your store, please?" I asked him giving him my award winning puppy dog face when I not

RYANI heard about the drama that arose at Helena's wedding and booked the next available flight home.I have a feeling She has a hand in this and must have had her plot made easier with my absence.When I arrived, I was told by Gwen that Helena left the country with Nick before the end of that day. She must have been seriously embarrassed by what happened but if she had let me attend her wedding or even stay close, all that wouldn't have happened. I can't even believe it's up to a month it happened.Bored, I picked up my car keys from the headboard and walked out of my house. I entered my car and just sat there for a while but later slammed shut the door and sped off with no destination in mind.Soon, I stopped at the park and just felt like taking a walk around to ease off the stress that has tensed up my shoulder when a lady with jet black hair walking backwards with her
