Chapter 75
Raymond's POV.
What have I done? 
Now little Jasmine is angry at me.
But well, I only spoke my mind so I shouldn't be at fault, right?
But why do I suddenly feel so guilty? 
Why? 
I then decided to head out for a drive to cool my head.
I took my car and drove out.
From my rearview mirror, I saw my sister Shaking her head with a sigh on the balcony.

Rose's POV.
I have been worried Sick about Lucia that I wasn't able to sleep.
I wonder what Stella must be feeling, I didn't go to the office today as I didn't feel like it.
Then I found out that Stella didn't too.
How is she doing alone at home? 
I wonder if she's alright because I have been worried Sick.
I want to go over to check up on her but I just feel too tired to even leave the house.
Thankfully, Daniel decided to take a day off from work to accompany me or I don't know how lonely I'll be alone at home.
" So what did Adam say? " I asked after I saw that he had ended the call with Adam.
" Well, he said that Lucia's location is already known. " 
" Wow, finally! I hope she gets found too. " 
I then decided to call Stella and inform her of the news.
I tried calling her multiple times but all to no avail.
" She isn't picking up? " Daniel asked.
" Yes, I wonder what's going on now? " I replied.
I started to feel very worried about her, what if she did something wrong?.
What if? 
Is she alright? 
" That reminds me, I asked your assistant to keep a track of Stella's calls and messages, Has he done that? " I asked.
" Oh, let me call him." He was about to dial a number on his phone when the phone rang with an incoming call.
" Good day, Boss. " He greeted.
" Hm, " 
" Sorry for disturbing you boss but Miss Stella received a call from an unknown number earlier stating that she should come to a Certain address with a transfer agreement of..... " He said.
" What! How could it be? " I said.
" Why would the kidnapper want 5% of my company's shares? This can only be possible if the person is a little close to us. " 
" Alright, thanks for the information, Keep us posted. " Daniel replied before ending the call.
" So what do you think? Who do you think is behind this? " 
" I am not sure anymore but one thing I know is that this kidnapping isn't as simple as it seems, it's deeper than I thought, I guess it has been pre-planned. " He said.
" I think so too, but who could be behind this apart from Rick? Who? " I thought confused.
I was still thinking when my cell phone rang with an incoming call.
It was from an unknown number.
Picking it up, I tapped the speaker button.
" Hello, Mrs. Romero. " The callers greeted.
" Hi, may I ask who this is? "
" Well, this is Raymond Wedlock, the one who called the other day. " 
" Oh, so why are you calling? "
"I was driving earlier when I saw Miss Stella's car driving towards Cabot cove with a high Speed. " 
" Oh my! Where are you now? " 
" Well, I followed my instincts and I am currently following her car now. " He replied.
" Oh, but don't you think it's dangerous? " 
" I know but it's more dangerous for her alone, by the way, what happened? " He inquired.
I hesitated a little before telling him about everything that happened.
" Oh my! It must be very hard on her, it's no wonder she looked very worried and agitated. " 
" Yes, can you please keep following her and make sure not to lose track of her, we'll provide back up soonest. " 
" Sure. " He replied.
" Thanks for your help. " 
" You don't have to thank me, I am more than happy to help. " He said before the call disconnected.
" So what should we do? " I asked Daniel.
" We'll provide backup.." he replied before making a phone call.
I hope Stella is found very soon.

Raymond's POV.
I was thinking of going out for fresh air to the stadium but as I started driving.
I spotted a Silver colored Audi R8 car at my side.
I didn't pay attention to it at first but I caught a glimpse of a familiar face in the car and then it clicked.
That's Stella Jackson.
But what is she doing here? 
Why is she driving on this road? and most importantly why is she driving at a high speed? I thought.
Then I saw her Wiping her eyes.
She was shaking her head, it seemed like she was crying.
I tried to keep up with her speed but failed as she was driving at a very high one.
Wait, what's she doing? 
Isn't she afraid of being arrested by the Highway officers?
Then an idea came to me and I decided to call Miss Rose, I had her number saved on my phone.
After speaking to her, then I realized what was wrong.
I involuntarily started feeling a little worried about her.
I knew what it felt like to have your loved ones in the hands of the kidnappers.
And I am sensitive to hearing about kidnaps perhaps it's because My Dad died at the hands of the kidnappers years ago.
So since then, I have been putting much effort into my safety.
Though Rose had already told me about Calling for backup I still decided to call for mine as well.
It's better to be safe than sorry after all.
