Chapter 58: Wanting her for himself
"What's wrong?" Elora asked when she heard the word kidnapped.
"Just a minute" Nicholas said and Covered the phone with his hand.
"Give me a minute" He mouthed to her
"Hey buddy....."
"I think she has been kidnapped Nick, I've been searching for the past three hours, and Everywhere I searched has been a dead end, she's not in the country Nick, she...." Connor said, breaking into an agonizing sob.
"Calm down dude, I'll be right there, just text me your location" Nicholas said dropping the call.
"Oh shit" He swore as he started dressing.
"What's happening?, where are you going?"
"I'm really sorry, but I have to go, Connor thinks Ava has been Kidnapped" He said hurriedly.
"Oh my world!" Elora Exclaimed
"How did this happen?"
"I don't know, all I know is that Connor needs me right now and I'm going to him"
He picked his car keys
"I'm sorry things turned out this way honey, I'll make it up to you, I promise" He said and was out of the room.
"So much chaos, and on my wedding night!" Elora said as she got up from the bed, well if everyone is out there looking for Ava then she better join them,
After all the earlier they find her, the better for me, Elora thought as she started pulling her clothes on.
******
Alaina wondered if the old man got the job done, he's such a pain in the butt, she swore, if he doesn't get her, she'll tear his head off.
The men should have been here one hour ago, if she doesn't get this done, Jaguar won't spare her
Well looks like the man's lucky, she smirked as she saw the incoming call.
"Hello"
"We're here" The person on the other line breathed into the phone.
"Good, just a minute" She said, smiling.
She was pleased, the old man fulfilled his side of the bargain, now she'll fulfill hers by killing him, he's such an unlucky fool.
She Grinned as she opened the door.
She got out of the car and shook her hair out, due to this mission, her life has turned for the better, she now looks like Calvina, she now wears expensive clothes and get to ride in Cars with it's own chauffers, and all she had to do is plan Ava's downfall, now imagine what her life would be like when she finally get to be Connor's wife and get to spend anyhow she wants.
"Ma'am" The male voice Brought her reluctantly out of her thoughts.
She straightened her spine and wiped the smug smile off her face, feigning a mean look.
"It took you so long, why?" She asked, raising a brow.
"Sorry ma'am, but the security at the airport was super tight, we couldn't escape it, it seems Mr Donnacha found out quite soon, we had to use some kind of disguise" the man said
Mentioning Connor's name scared her for a second before she calmed her self, there's no reason to worry unnecessarily right?
"You have her?" She asked.
"Yes" The man said as he motioned to his men to bring Ava.
Ava was dressed in a shocking red dress, with make up perfectly done, maybe a little excessive, at first you might not recognize her, but on second look, you might.
Jealousy engulfed Alaina but she quickly shook it off.
"Hello there, it's nice to see you again" Alaina greeted,
"Betrayer" Ava said with clenched teeth.
"Seems someone's angry" Alaina said, laughing lightly.
"Thank you" Alaina nodded towards the bulky guy that handed her over.
"Take your filthy hands off me" Ava snarled as Alaina grabbed her.
Alaina made some sounds with her lips.
"I suggest you co-oporate, else I'll hit you" Alaina threatened.
It was a good thing that Ava hands were tied to the back else she would have gifted Alaina with a slap.
Ava glared at her as Alaina shoved her roughly into the car, luckly she didn't hit her head.
"You excuse of a lady, how could you?, you're so evil" Ava spat the words at her
"Hey!, watch it, of you don't stop ranting, I swear I'll give you a tight slap" Alaina said, grabbing and twisting Ava's hand to drive the message home.
Ava didn't make any sound but instead glared at Alaina till she released her,
Ava kept quiet, and stared out of the window, not because she was scares of Alaina actually hitting her, but she thought, why should she waste her time talking to someone that will most definitely never change her ways?, what's the point?
Instead she should focus on freeing herself.
"Go driver" Alaina ordered as she settled into her seat, by twisting Ava's arm, she risked giving her bruises, and she risked Jaguar' orders, his order was to bring her to him quietly and comfortably as possible. But what to do?
The brat won't keep shut without her driving some senses into that thick skull of hers, ain't that right?.
********
Nicholas moved towards Connor with urgency.
The police just brought some news about Ava's disappearance, it's been one and the half hour since Nicholas joined them, till now they haven't seen or heard any news about her.
"Hey man" Nicholas patted his back
"Hi" Connor replied silently,
"The police questioned some people at the airport, they also caught some activities on the CCTV camera" Nicholas said pushing some photos into Connor's hand
He took a look at the pictures and decided
"It's her, the lady doesn't look like her, but she's the one" Connor said, glancing up at Nicholas.
"Well, that's what I thought too, but the police couldn't identify her with all that make up, so they were able to take her out of the country, and what's more, she was wearing a golden dress earlier and now she's wearing red one"
"And the dudes the police interviewed said the lady looked like, she was being forced to go along with them, but the people couldn't just...you know stop them, a guy said they looked dangerous" Nicholas said.
"I know who took her" Connor said silently.
"How come?" Nicholas scratched his neck, well that's strange.
"She left a message of sort, she said she kinda knew he was coming but she had no idea, who this dude was or what he wants"
"She said, the only way to end this is to go to them, she knows I'll find her but how am I supposed to do that when I don't even know where she is?" Connor said.
"Wait, how come you know all this?" Nicholas asked, trying to assimilate what he just heard.
"The orphanage, I went to the orphanage when I couldn't find her, she goes there when she's tensed or worried about something"
"I went there and saw this 7 year old chap, he said Ava told him to tell me those stuffs, he told me some mean looking guys came to pick her up after she gave him the info"
"The child doesn't understand why she was telling him that but he had to deliver the message because sister said so, you know they kinda call her Elder Sister over there, I asked him why she didn't tell me these things herself, that was dumb of me uhn?, the child wouldn't know why either"
"But surprisingly the child knew the answer, she informed him to tell me, she didn't have much time to tell me and she knew they wouldn't take her unless she came out of the palace, so she kinda...."
"And you believed him?, what if it was a setup?, what if they're trying to throw us off their scent?" Nicholas asked, cutting him off
"Yeah, at first, I thought what the heck?, but she gave him something to give me"
"What?"
"My mother's bracelets, she was the only person that knew where I kept it, you know" Connor sighed.
"This us all a big dream" Nicholas exahaled.
"I wish it is, I seriously wish it is"
"And you wanna know what else she told him to tell me?"
"What?"
"She said, I can find her through the Mate link, now what the hell is that?" Connor asked,
"Now, that's a big question......"
The ringing phone broke their conversation.
"I'm sorry, I'll take that" Connor apologized as he lifted the phone to his ears.
"Hey Walker" He said into the phone.
"Hi man, I'm sorry about what happened, how's it going with the investigation?" Dr Walker asked.
"Uhm...."
"Look man, I know I shouldn't be telling you this now, I mean with all this happening, this is probably the wrong time....."
"What's it?" Connor asked harshly, he hates it when he's harsh to Walker but he can't help it right now, he has a lot on his hands.
"You remember the blood test, I mean the DNA stuff....."
"Yeah, yeah, what's up with that?" Connor asked Impatiently.
"Well, something came up just now and...."
"And what?"
"Ava is pregnant." Walker said finally.
Dead silence invaded the air, for a while Dr Walker thought Connor has dropped the call.
"Hello?" He asked uncertainly
"Holly Shit!" Connor swore.
