CHAPTER 63: THE CARD
NATASHA POV
It’s like my whole world stopped and my heart doesn’t want to keep beating the moment I found out that my daughter is missing.
My poor baby, who could possibly do this horrible thing to an innocent child?
“Alex, do something and find our daughter! I will never forgive myself if something bad happens to her."
"Please I am begging you, find our daughter. Find Alexa and bring her back to us!” I said to Alex with a pleading voice while my tears kept falling down from my eyes.
I can’t believe that my daughter will be gone just like that.
We are still having a great time with her and we are still celebrating her christening yet she is missing all of a sudden.
“Please just calm down, Natasha. The authorities are doing their best to find who the kidnapper is."
"And I promise you that I will bring our daughter back to us no matter what happens. So stop crying now, hmm?” Alex simply answered me and rested my head on his chest.
“Thank you, Alex but I just can’t calm down every time I think about the fact that our daughter is not here."
"I don’t know what is happening to her right now and that is making me insane. What if they hurt our daughter? I can’t let that happen to my innocent baby,” I just said to him and continued crying.
I can’t calm down at this moment because my daughter is still missing and no one can tell who took her from us.
“Please don’t stress yourself, babe. I will drive you back to our condo now so you can rest."
"Please don’t think negative things. We will find our daughter and she will be back to us, okay?” Alex simply said and we went to his car to go back to the condo.
___
AT ALEX’S CONDO
“Guys, why is Alex still not coming back here? I want to know if he already found our daughter but I can his number is cannot be reach. I am so worried already and I can’t wait here any longer,” I just said to my friends with a worried voice.
Alex said I should just stay here at the condo but Brian, Julia, and Celine are here to accompany me while Alex is looking for our daughter with Axel.
I have called Alex’s number many times already but he is not picking up his phone. That is why I am getting worried and paranoid even more.
“Please calm down, Natasha. Maybe he is just busy with the authorities searching for Alexa. Just wait for him to call you and tell you an update about the case."
"Don’t worry because I know that your husband will use all of his resources and power in order to find and bring back Alexa to us. So just sit down and wait here, is that okay?” Brian answered, trying to calm me down.
“Brian is right, Natasha. Just have trust in your husband and believe in him. I am sure he will do his best to find and bring back Alexa to us."
"All we need to do is to pray and have faith in God that Alexa will be found as soon as possible,” Julia also said, trying to calm me down too.
“How can I calm down if my baby is missing?! I should do my own method to search for her. I will go and find her now and no one will change my mind!” I just said and stood up then I immediately went to the door.
“Natasha!” I heard them calling my name but I don’t care about them anymore. All I want is to find my daughter because I can’t sit down and relax while my poor baby is missing.
I opened the door and I saw a bouquet of flowers on the floor. I frowned then I picked up the bouquet of flowers.
It has a card on it that is why I immediately check what is written in the card.
“Natasha! Oh, where did you get those flowers? I think Alex has sent you that in order to say that you should calm down so please just go back inside and let’s wait for their news, okay?” Celine just said to me and she followed me here.
I did not answer her because I am still contemplating what I have read in the card.
I was too stunned to speak and I don’t really know what to do right now.
“Hold this, I’ll just go to a place to unwind. Please don’t call me and just ask me to contact you."
"Don’t worry because I will be back here immediately. Did you understand, Celine?” I simply said to her with an authoritative voice.
I did not wait for her response and I immediately left the condo. I have already decided and I will get back by any means that I can.
I will make sure that whoever did that to her will regret what he/she has done to my poor baby.
I immediately called for a taxi and went inside. I looked at the address that is written on the card and I told it to the driver.
“Ma’am, are you sure that you will go to that address? As far as I know, that place is a dangerous place because a lot of gang groups are hanging out there and I heard that it is a place for their hideout,” the driver asked me with a worried face.
I was taken aback by what he said. I got afraid all of a sudden because I am just alone and I did not bring anything with me beside my cell phone.
And also, I don’t really know that place and what is waiting for me there.
I closed my eyes in a moment and heaved a deep breath before answering the driver. I need to be strong if I want my daughter back.
“I am sure of my decision, sir. Please take me to that place now and don’t ask further questions. Thank you!” I simply commanded the driver.
He just heaved a sigh and shook his head momentarily before starting the engine. I already made up my mind and there is no turning back.
Please hang in there, my dear daughter. Mommy is coming and I will make sure that I will get you back to us. Just wait for me, my baby.
