All Chapters of Forbidden Red: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“He has her!” I growl at a grave faced Julian. The air is filled with chaos as police sirens blast and K9 dogs bark loudly. To top it off, the rain continues to pour down and the wind howls viciously, shaking the trees back and forth as if they could snap any minute and land on the road. A storm is definitely brewing and this could be the worst possible time.Forensics, police officers, detectives, and reporters buzz around me as they try to investigate what happened to my soon to be ex-wife Anna Adair.“I think your right Alex. It has to be him otherwise the note that’s left behind makes no sense.” Julian states trying to shield his face from the rain.The rain pours down on me but I don’t make an effort to hide away from it. In all of this mess, I need to find Anna. If that bastard has her then she’s not safe, but if he even lays a finger on her I’ll give him a slow agonizing death that he wishes he

Nick was smart to have called over Mariam’s mother when we were coming back from the police station. He didn’t want to leave Mariam alone after what happened to Anna and I don’t blame him.While their all asleep, I’m pacing back and forth in my room in anxiousness, stressing about Anna’s disappearance and what Adair is going through right now. I know it’s not my fault, but now I wish that I had dropped the case when I had the chance.Sometimes I wish it didn’t happen that I didn’t take the case and just stuck to my everyday cases that came in. I wish I wasn’t dying for adrenaline or even a change in my daily routine. But as much as I think about not having taken it, I can’t deny the fact that meeting Adair was the best thing that has ever happened to me. But with Anna gone missing, I really wish I hadn’t let my feelings take over the reality of the case.All the thoughts swirling in head prevent m

We spend the next couple hours planning our moves. It’s to risky to tell the police to go and arrest Marc since he has hostages and could hurt them. Instead, we all agree to Julian getting in touch with under cover police officers and keeping them around Marc’s location so he doesn’t escape. This way we’ll know where he is at all times while my mom and Anna stay safe and we can figure out how were going to get to him.While Julian talks to the Toronto police, Adair gets in touch with his media representatives and gives them the details about me dropping the case. The news needs to play exactly at 5pm, otherwise he’s going to hurt either Anna or my mother.While Nick speaks to Mariam, updating her about Anna’s disappearance, I use this time to talk to Aunt Meg and Cole.“We’ll bring her home safe.” I assure them both.“I’m sorry Sarah. You trusted me to keep your mom safe and I couldn’

Marc sends Adair the details for the transfer right away. Adair talks to his personal assistant who’s in charge of finances to have the transfer scheduled for 5pm. Although we aren’t letting him get away with the money, it’s a back up plan just in case. I don’t like just in cases, but we can’t risk anyone’s safety and especially knowing him he’ll do anything to get his way.Julian goes back to the police station to get his team ready for the raid and said he’ll get in contact with the Toronto police to let them know that were leaving for Toronto in a bit.For some reason my mind keeps drifting back to the apartment. I don't know why since we've already checked around and found nothing, but my gut is telling me that there's something that we might have missed to check, and this time I don’t ignore it.I’ve always been a go with my brain type of woman, but this feeling is jabbing inside of me like a knife

My eyes slowly open as I try to adjust to the dim light that hangs above me. A sharp pain shoots at the back of my head causing me to wince. My head throbs in pain and I feel like I’ve been hit in the back of a head with a metal baseball bat. My eyes travel down to my hands and I realize that both my hands and feet are tied tightly to the chair with chains.I try to break free, but it only makes it worse as the chains dig even deeper into my skin causing me to yelp in pain.I look around for help but the place is completely empty. It’s freezing cold and smells like a wet dog. A tiny window near the top of wall lets in a small stream of light and through there I can tell that it’s already night time.  Where am I? I scream for help, anyone who can help me at least get these chains off me, but I go mute once I realize what happened. Everything comes back to me. It was Anna who hit me in the back of the head right when I was
