CHAPTER 22
The police started to do their search but I went to where my mother was so she could tell me where the fuck she was, I never thought she would be able to do something like that now that she has crossed the limits, I will make her understand what are the consequences of her bad and stupid decisions.
Everything had gotten out of my hands and now everyone started to know what really happened and what my mother and her adored dream daughter-in-law did for me.
-You’d better talk now mother, or I swear I’ll charge you with kidnapping.
-Kidnapping… What the hell are you talking about!
-She’s not here. Mother, she’s not here.
My mother is perplexed, she doesn’t move from her place, she doesn’t articulate a single word, she tilts a smile and her lips tremble before asking if it was some kind of joke, but she takes back what she says when she looks at me losing control, my daughter is missing along with her mother and it’s all her fault, how could she do this!.
I quickly went upstairs to change and go out to look for them both, when I was about to leave my room, Melissa came entering without my authorization to my room so I told her to leave and that for her sake she better not have anything to do with this matter and what happened, it doesn’t mean anything.
-It means a lot Eros. -She looked happy, she said, “We’re married, we’re husband and wife, we can finally start our family and….
-What the hell are you talking about? You know what… you better go, I don’t have time for stupidities.
-I’m not leaving. I’m your wife now and this is my home now.
I sigh and look at her mockingly.
-You speak with a lot of confidence because of the document that you believe… it was real…” my smile grows as I see hers disappear. -The original document was changed when I noticed the change in the ring. Which, by the way, I’d like to know how did you get it?
-Y-Your mother gave it to me when I put on the dress. -This was the last straw with my mother -Eros… you weren’t serious… about the marriage, right… yes we are married. -Her look becomes more somber. -I don’t understand what she has that even got her pregnant!
-To begin with, she wouldn’t do something stupid like that.
One day… One damn day without knowing where she was, there was no clue what happened, I didn’t leave the offices of the agents that are looking for her but in my point of view, they are not doing much because if they really did anything they would have found her already, and asking to calm down is not what I wanted, no.
I couldn’t close my eyes all night thinking about the safety of both of them, for the first time in my life I feel like I’m dying in life, that a very big part of me has been ripped away, thinking about any incident makes me lose control.
Bianca’s mother was in the hospital, they had to sedate her because she had lost her mind for not having news of her daughter, she was about to have a seizure because of the lack of control she had.
-You should rest. The agents say you didn’t sleep all night,” my father offers me some coffee, “You don’t help much by being here pushing them.
-Says the man who screwed up his marriage for being greedy.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
-Tell me something, are you this way because of your daughter, or because of her?
“A good question”… as I think of an answer I pause thoughtfully… I look for a safe answer, if I think of everything the first thing that comes to my mind is… when she smiles, when she feels fragile… she always looked for me when she felt insecure, she would fall asleep deeply on my chest when we spent time together and that was a situation that didn’t happen very often
“No way…”
-Thinking about my son’s mother…. And my future wife is in danger,… it takes my sleep away, she’s fragile, right now she needs me, could you do it if you had been a mom when she was pregnant with either of us.
-Of course not -she smiles. Sighs -No doubt that girl won your cold heart, although… I don’t think it’s so cold now. I am happy that you have formed your family, the future of the company is promising in your hands….
-I don’t care about that now, I just want her, I won’t be able to sleep until I hear from her.
Damn it, this was not part of the plan, this was not part of the contract! I like that girl more than I could have ever expected, I really fell in love with her without realizing it, shit. Getting her out of my head now is impossible as I feel short of breath at the thought that something could happen to her.
-Mr. Ainsworth. We have news for you.
I stand up from my place.
-You found her?
We were on our way to highway 54, when we arrived, she was already inside a car, she was wearing some old men’s rags, I got out of the car before she parked, when she saw me she got out of the officers’ vehicle that were guarding her, she ran towards me and when I felt her in my arms again I hugged her so tight because she had lived a scare from hell.
She cries inconsolably while saying how much she thought she would never see me again, I closed my eyes and kissed her messy and dirty hair, knowing that she was ok and that the baby was ok was so comforting that I could only thank life for giving her back to me.
-I thought I would lose you. -I cradled her cheeks in his hands. I kiss her deeply as if it had been years since I had seen her.
Her eyes flood with tears and she hugs me again while she tells me that she loves me too, taking her out of there to take her to the hospital immediately was the first thing I did, I wanted to know everything, if she has any injuries, if they did anything to the baby.
The agents were in charge of taking her information of what happened and she says that she noticed that something was wrong when she realized that the driver looked strange, but later she does not remember what happened because when she woke up she was in a barn tied by her hands with adhesive tape, according to what she heard, they were going to take the baby from her to later use her to transport a shipment and she would be sold to some foreigners for prostitution.
