Aidan's POV
"I'm going with you, Aidan", Anna pulls my hand as Tristan and I get to the pavement. She kneels,
begging me.
"No, Anna. You need to stay here and wait for us to be back", I peck her forehead.
"No, I want to go with you to see my baby", she begins to cry again and I sigh. "I don't want them to kill
my baby."
"Anna........."
"I want to come with you so I can beg them to let my baby go. Please, Aidan", she sobs.
I turn to face Tristan and he shakes his head.
"I promise we will be back soon", I kiss her lips and release her hand from mine before walking towards
the car with Tristan, ignoring her cries. Natalie comes out immediately and helps her back inside with
the help of Jodie.
"The presence of Tessa at your accident spot will ease everything, she is a suspect" Tristan informs me
as we enter the car.
Tristan is of the opinion that we take all the people I know can do such a thing as a suspect and not just
one person. I feel Damien is capable and responsible and his threat is enough evidence.
Tristan has already informed the police and they are on their way following the tracking device.
I have no idea what I am going to do with Tessa if this is true and my baby is with her. I am going to
deal with her and make sure she rots in jail. I don't care whether her father has the right connections to
get her out of jail. I am going to give it all it takes. I am going to show her what it means to tamper with
my child.
I also wonder if she is working with Damien. The first person that came to my mind when Natalie
informed me of the kidnap was Damien. He already threatened me and I was expecting something like
this. I never knew it would be this soon. Also, I blame myself for not preparing well enough for this.
If Damien has no hand in this, then what is he doing? Where does he want to start my punishment
from? Why was his boy at the accident spot with Tessa? Did they come separately or together to kill me
and my wife? Isn't it high time I bring up the issue of the past, maybe Damien will let me be?
I think it is high time I told the police of how he killed Lisa years ago after raping her to stupor.
What kind of obsession is this that Tessa has for me? it is obvious she hasn't gotten over me from her
silly love for me.
"Drive faster, please!" I am impatient.
"Yes, boss", he answers and speeds up.
"Is Frederick with them?"
Frederick is Tristan's brother and we have known each other since high school. He works with the FBI.
"Yes", he replies. "I sent him the picture of the van and the plate number", he informs me.
"Where are we going to meet with them?" I lean forward, wishing we can just fly over there and rescue
my baby. If anything happens to my baby, the whole family of the person involved will pay for it.
"We are going to meet wherever the device directs us to", he says looking over a transparent plate on
the car's dashboard, and I stare at him in amazement.
"Let's just hope they don't suspect a thing." He adds.

Anna's POV
My baby needs to be fine, she is all I have and the reason for my happiness. She is the reason why I
am here, after months of enduring the pains of venturing into a loveless marriage.
Now that Aidan and I are together, after professing our love for each other and ready to take it to the
next level, our baby is nowhere to be found.
What an unfair world?
Who can it be? Is it Tessa? Or Damien?
I know Tessa and Damien as the only people who want no good for Aidan. Tessa hates him because
her love is one-sided but I don't know what grudges Damien holds against Aidan. I wonder who among
them is responsible for this cruelty that has befallen me.
I feel Tessa and Damien must be working together, this is the only thing that can explain their presence
at the accident scene.
Should we just call that a coincidence? I doubt if it is.
I sniff, bracing myself for what is to come. I am also optimistic that Aidan will do all it takes to bring my
baby and Tania back. I won't be this bothered if only the abductors are people in need of money but I
know if Damien or Tessa is behind this, then it means they came for my baby to get back at Aidan.
I almost burst into fresh tears when reality dawns on me. I can't lose my baby.
"Everything will be fine, ma'am", Natalie hugs me with sympathy. I nod, without uttering a word. I am
also trying to convince myself that everything will be fine.
I look up when she releases me and my room suddenly becomes small. I feel dizzy.
"Help me with water, please", I say to her in a low tone. I don't know why I am feeling dizzy all of a
sudden.
Natalie stands up without questions and hurries out. Within minutes, she comes back with a glass cup.
My mother and Pamela come in and my tears begin to pour immediately.
My mother hugs me.
"Have you seen the news?" Pamela ask me. I shake my head and wipe my tears.
"Damien was found dead in the early hours of this morning at his father's mansion", she announce. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"What?!" I almost hit the cup of water in my hand. The pounding of my heart increases in fear.
If Damien is dead, then who is responsible for the kidnap? Who killed Damien?
