“What is it?” I asked, a little bit more calmly this time. She took a deep breath and she let it out in a sigh. She looked at me and said,
“When Natalia walked out of the pharmacy for the third time, I noticed something sticking out on the top of the paper bag that she was carrying. When I went into that pharmacy, I was certain that what she bought were maternity pads. I also asked the pharmacist on duty about her and she told me that Natalia has been buying stuff for pregnant women. Vitamins, milk, all that kind of stuff.” Aira said. I was stunned to hear what she just said.
I slumped back on my seat and I put my hand to my head. Aira and I were right.
[Terrence] Natalia was so obsessed with Kael that when she found out that Amelia was pregnant with Kael’s child, she kidnapped her and kept her from going back to Kael. She’s sick and twisted, that’s for sure. This is even more reason to have a plan on how to save Amelia. If she really is pregnant, we can’t just take her away, we need to be careful. I doubt she’s been living peacefully all this time and she’s probably under a lot of stress. Just the thought of her suffering was driving me crazy. “We have to help Amelia, babe.” I looked over at Aira and tears were streaming down her face. She must’ve felt really shocked and sad when she finally understood everything. All this time, I thought Aira would hate Ameli
[Terrence] “I know, and we will. We have to.” I reassured Aira. I gave her a hug to stop her from crying. Once she stopped crying, I told her that we should go back for now. I don’t think Aira’s in the right state of mind to continue following Natalia. We called it a day and I took her back to her house. I went back to my own house and I contemplated on what we uncovered today. I was just about to tell Kael about what we found out but I knew he was busy with the launch. I didn’t want to give Kael any more headaches and knowing him, if he found out what we found out he’d be too impulsive. We need to be ready.
[Terrence] The following day, there were a few documents that I needed to hand over to Kael so I went directly to his office. I handed it to him and I told him a little bit of what happened yesterday. I didn’t tell him directly about the things we found out however, I did give him a hint as to what it could be. I left his office after letting him think things through. “Excuse me, Mr. Grimes but may I ask you to sign this document? I was about to head over to your office to have it signed.” Kael’s assistant showed me a document that I hadn’t signed yet and I saw that it was for the upcoming launch. I gladly walked over to her desk and signed it. As I was looking around, waiting for her to file the document, I noticed a note on her desk. I usually don't pry int
“Ah excuse me, I just have one question I’d like to ask. Has there been any news of Amelia Young, the president’s previous secretary?” I asked. The secretary answered but didn’t even bother looking at me as she continued to file the documents. “There has been a delivery man who comes here to deliver bento boxes for the president and the sender was labeled as A. Young. The president suspects that Ms. Amelia was the one who was sending the bento boxes however there was no confirmation.” She answered. Since she was so busy filing the documents, I took a peek at the note on her desk again and I saw the unit number of where the bento boxes were coming from. I thanked the secretary for her answer and I went on my way down to the garage.
[Terrence] As I was in the elevator, it was getting crowded since a lot of people were on their way down to a different floor. By the time the elevator arrived at the lobby, almost all of the passengers got out. I waited for the doors to close so I could be taken down to the garage but something caught my eye. I saw Natalia all dressed up and waiting for the elevator next to the one where I was in. My eyes widened when I saw her. How daring could she be to come over here after being thrown out? As the door closed, I immediately texted Aira. I got off the elevator and I went over to my car as quickly as I could.
[Terrence] “Babe, I’m coming to pick you up. I found out about something but we need to hurry.” I told Aira. She didn’t ask any questions and she said she’ll be waiting for me. I drove over to her house and she immediately buckled up as soon as she entered the car. “What’s going on babe?” She asked. I immediately left her house and drove all the way to the apartment complex where we suspected Natalia was keeping Amelia. “I found out that Amelia was trying to send a message to Kael using a delivery guy. The address that was written on the boxes had the unit number so there’s a big possibility that we can save Amelia.” I told her. I also told her the unit number and the floor where Amelia could be in.
[Terrence] “But what about Natalia?” She asked. I told her not to worry about that. As soon as I said that, I received a text message from Kael saying Natalia was in his office. I told Aira to send a reply saying to keep her there as long as possible. I also told her to send a message saying we’re on our way to the apartment complex and we’ll try to find Amelia. We arrived at the apartment complex and we quickly made our way up the stairs and onto the 4th floor. On the note on the assistant’s desk, it said the room number was 407 but when I think about it, if that were the case then Kael could’ve easily found Amelia but he didn’t which means it must be a trap. Aira and I were standing in the hallway of the 4th floor and I couldn’t decide on what to do.
[Terrence] “407 must be the room where Natalia’s subordinate is. If someone like a PI or a police officer were to come over and knock on that door, they could easily alert Natalia and she’ll decide to move Amelia away from here. I believe Amelia is still here but she must be in a different room.” Aira said. I agree with what she said. Natalia has been seen going to this apartment complex multiple times, and seeing as how meticulous she is, I’m sure that Amelia is in this building. The problem we have now is there’s now way for us to find out which room she’s in. Aira and I were about to give up when a young boy came up to us. He tugged on my coat and I bent down to talk to him.
