Olivia ~•~“I was really confused when I heard him call my daddy his daddy.” “Me too, I didn’t know we had a little brother.” Hearing the kids talk about their encounter with Sandra’s son made me laugh. It wasn’t funny but their reaction to the incident was funny. They had no idea Sandra and I used to be best of friends. I wasn’t even planning on talking to them about it. I was a little bit relieved that they finally found out about their half-brother. After chatting with them for another few minutes, I put them to sleep and went back to my room. I indulged in a long and relaxing shower because I had a really long day. I dried off my body and changed into my nightclothes. Just as I was about to get to sleep, my phone rang. I retrieved it from the bedside drawer and saw it was Amanda calling me. “Hey, sister!” Amanda’s excited voice echoed through the other side of the line. “How are you doing? I’m sorry I couldn’t help you with moving” I waved my hands dismissively. “It’s okay

Olivia ~•~“Who was that?” Alexander asked when he saw the shocked look on my face. “What did the person say?” He added. “I have no idea who the person was,” I said, my mind racing with different thoughts. “You’re messing with me and I’m going to teach you a severe lesson,” I repeated what the person said to Alexander. His eyes widened in disbelief and his expression turned serious. “Why did you hang up the call without saying anything else?” I shook my head. “I didn’t hang up the call. The person who called me hung up without letting me say anything.” “Was it a female or male voice?” Alexander asked, his voice filled with genuine concern. “Who would say something like that to you?” “I have no idea if it was even a male or female,” I replied, leaning into the car seat. I couldn’t even think of what I had done to warrant that kind of warning from anybody. Alexander extended his hands to me. “Give me your phone.” He requested and I handed it to him without asking any questions.

Olivia ~•~ Alexander dropped me off at my parent's house before heading back to wherever he was headed. Even if he said the phone call must have been a prank call, I was still worried about it. But I just shoved away my thoughts and focused on my mother. When I arrived at the house, she was in the kitchen preparing a delicious meal. The amazing aroma of the food filled the air. My mother was a good cook. It was one of the things I missed the most when I moved out of my parent's house after college. “Olivia, how are you doing?” My mother asked with a wide smile on her face as she heard me walk into the kitchen. I returned the smile, grateful to see her happy. “I’m doing great, mum.” I threw my hands over her, pulling her into a tight hug. “How are you doing?” “I’m good, baby.” I was happy with the way my mum and I interacted with each other. Compared to the other years, we would have been upset with each other because of our different opinions about everything. “Alexander and

Olivia~•~I made my way to the familiar classroom where I had dropped them off earlier. However, the teacher's uneasy expression as I approached sent a shiver down my spine. “Where is Rowan?” I asked when I saw only Riley sitting beside the teacher. “We can’t find Rowan.” My heart flew out of my chest as I heard those words leave her mouth. “You can’t what?” I asked, hoping to hear a different answer. She must’ve probably made a mistake. “Where is Rowan?” “We’ve contacted the police and the school security are all searching for him.” The teacher said, her voice cracking slightly. My emotions were all over the place and I was trying to process what I had just heard. I began pacing back and forth around the classroom. “So you mean I dropped up my child in the morning? At a new school. And in less than six hours, he has gone missing?” I asked, incredulous. “I’m sorry, I had no idea who took him.” I took a deep breath and turned over to Riley. She was already crying profusely. I

Olivia ~•~My hands started shaking uncontrollably and my phone fell off my hand. “What’s going on?” Alexander asked as he picked it up from the ground. “Oh shit!” He exclaimed after he read the text from the phone. “It wasn’t a prank call after all.” He said, running his hands through his hair. Someone had taken my son as an act of revenge. I had no idea what I did or who the person was. My heart was racing and I was really scared. I could only hope they didn’t hurt my Rowan. “Can we see the head of the school or something?” I asked the crowd of teachers who had arrived at Rowan’s class. “He is in a meeting, he would…….” Alexander cut the teacher off before she could complete her statement. “Have you heard of Alexander Burke?” He asked, his voice low and threatening. “If you don’t get me whoever is in charge right now, you all will end up in jail.” Were they actually serious? My son was missing and the supposed head of the school was casually sitting in a meeting. A few of t

Alexander ~•~After I dropped Olivia off, I drove down to the tech company as fast as I could. For the first time, I even ignored the traffic lights and drove recklessly, my heart racing with every passing second. Arthur was already there waiting for me. He was the one who made the arrangements with the company to fly in a specialist from China. After a short drive, I pulled up in the parking lot of NovaTech. It was owned by a good friend of mine, so he didn’t hesitate to help me when I told him about the situation. “Hey.” Arthur walked over to me as I made my way into the building. “The man coming from China won’t arrive until tomorrow.” I let out a defeated sigh as he informed me. I was so caught up in finding my son and didn’t realize that it was going to be a long flight to New York. “Can’t the other workers here try to track the number again?” I asked as Arthur and I made our way to the elevator. “You already tried before, right?” Arthur asked I nodded.I didn’t know how s

Alexander ~•~I couldn’t look Olivia in the eyes to tell her we weren’t able to track the phone number of the person who took Rowan. So I waited until I got home before calling her through her sister. “You have to stay calm please, I promise we will find him tomorrow.” I tried to reassure her but it fell on deaf ears. “How do you expect me to sleep when my son is out there?” She cried. “Please, let’s go out and find him.” I knew she was worried and frustrated. I was also worried but she just had to exercise a little bit of patience. The specialist would arrive the next day and track the number. “Olivia, please just get some sleep. We will deal with it tomorrow.” I continued, trying to reason with her. “If you want to go out, where do you even plan on going?” “I don’t care where I’ll go. But if you’re not ready to help me find him. I’m ready to find him alone.” She said, her voice laced with determination.I ended the call with Olivia. Then I called her mother and asked her to ma

Alexander ~•~The next morning, the sound of my ringing phone woke me up from my sleep. I stretched my hand to the side table to retrieve the phone but the call had already ended. Just as I was about to check to see who the caller was, I got a text that caught my attention. [ I have confidential information about your son’s kidnapping. But you have to pay twenty million dollars for the information.] My heart skipped a bit as I stared at the screen. I hoped the person was actually legit and not a fraud. I quickly responded to them back. [How do I know that I can trust you?] I sent the text and sat upright, waiting for a response. Within a few seconds, another text came in. [I have access to the unaltered CCTV footage from the school.] My interest was piqued because if the person knew about the scrambled footage, there was a possibility that they had genuine information. I proposed a deal because I wasn’t sure I could trust the person completely. [ Alright, I’ll send you a down

Olivia ~•~I didn’t know how I managed to sleep off the previous night but as soon as my eyes fluttered open, I remembered my son was still missing and in danger.I hurriedly stood up from the couch where I had fallen asleep. I made my way to Amanda’s room and woke her up. She was nice enough to spend the night at my mum’s house just to be there to support me. “Can I have your phone?” I demanded as soon as she opened her eyes. She pointed over the the couch in her room. “It’s right there.” She replied in a slightly groggy voice. “Have they found him?” She asked, scratching her eyes with her hands. I shook my head. “I don’t think so. I’m about to call Alexander.” I grabbed the phone and walked out of the room, Alexander didn’t return my phone the previous day, so I had to reach him through Amanda’s phone. I called his number and watched it ring multiple times but he didn’t respond. I was pissed. Why wasn’t he answering his phone? I also tried calling my number but it was still th

Olivia ~•~Alexander picked me up and in no time we arrived at the police station. When we entered the building, Alexander wanted me to wait at the reception but I protested against it. He had no choice but to allow me to go into the office with him. I sat down quietly while he spoke with the officer who was in charge of the investigation. After talking for a while, he asked us to wait in his office while he went out to see if any of them had said anything about who exactly took Rowan. “What are we going to do about the school?” I asked Alexander who sat beside me. “Do you think they are actually part of this incident?” “We’ll think of that after we find our son, but trust me, they won’t go unpunished,” Alexander replied, his voice laced with frustration. I was scared for Rowan but I was a little bit relieved because we were close to finding him. The officers were certainly going to get information about his situation from the school. After waiting for about an hour inside the
