CHAPTER 32
DAMON’S POV
I sigh, closing my laptop, that was before me. Taking a breath, I got up and walked around the room, trying to keep calm and think positively. It’s been one f ** king day since Camila and Ethan has disappeared and the investigators haven’t found a clue as yet and so, I’m frustrated and angry.
I need to find them as fast as possible so I can be sure of their safety.. but unfortunately these dumb ass investigators, who call themselves professionals, can’t find a damn clue as yet and I’m getting really impatient. I swore under my breath, punching the wall before me with full anger but was suddenly interrupted by a phone call from lan. Turning around, I picked up the phone and answered, hoping that there’s some good news to hear from lan.
“What is it?” I asked, anxiously waiting to hear what he has to say.
“I found some clues on where they might be.” Lan replied.
“Where are they?” I didn’t waste time in asking. I was eager to know so I can leave as soon as possible and get them.
“I tracked Anita’s last whereabouts and found that she was last spotted with a few men, dressed in black, at a small house about 1. 5 miles away from here” he continued. “But it’s quite late-”
“I don’t care. We’re leaving now” I cut him off while grabbing my keys at the same time.
“If you say so, then okay. I’ll bring my laptop along so we can follow the tracker to where she is and I’ll call police officers to follow us.” Ian agreed immediately. I hummed in responses while running out of my office and ran to the stairs approaching me.
“Oh and Ian.” I began when he was almost about to hang up and replied with “yes?” “Thank you” I said with a smile and heard him chuckled before hanging up.
I put my phone away as I now open the door, locking it before running to my car and hoping in, speeding off to lan’s house, to get him. And now my hope was restore. I now have hope that’find them and I hope even more that they are alive and safe. Yes, I admit I still have my fears with me But I have hope. And I’m gonna find them.
CAMILA’S POV
“Mommy.”
“Yes Ethan?”
“When are we gonna leave?”
“I. don’t. know baby” I replied after sighing. I don’t know how long we have been here for but I know it’s been a very long time. And Ethan has been throwing millions of questions at me that I’m unable to answer and I’m feel so sad that I can’t give him the answer he needs. He looks scared. Very and I can’t do nothing to stop him from being that way. Itired finding a way to escape but found nothing but I can’t give up. I have to keep looking cause I promised Ethan I will find a way out and so I have to do as I promised. Ever since we have been here, no one has come inside to see us.
The doors were still locked and the room dark, with a little sunlight shingling through the window, which indicate it was either the morning, mid-day or afternoon. Ethan and I have been sitting in the same position we were in after we had attempt to find a way to escape. And the place was also silent around us.
I haven’t slept too since I woke up in this room however Ethan looked tired so I let him sleep on my lap and I didn’t know he was so tired. He slept for a very long time which surprised me and even though I too am tried, I can’t sleep.
“Bring them here !!” A voice was suddenly heard that brought me out from my chains of thoughts and I looked up to the door to see it suddenly behind swung open. I jumped a little when I heard the door hitting the wall with a loud bang and quickly jumped to my feet with Ethan in my hands.
“You get the child, I’ll get the girl” A dark, Spanish accented, voice spoke then footsteps where heard. I looked to the door, now staring at two strong men dressed in black. The looked pure evil. One having an emotionless face and the other a smirk, looking at me.
I gulp, holding Ethan tighter while his little body began to tremble in mines and I felt so sad, so sad to see Ethan this way. He’s just a child. He shouldn’t be this scared. I pulled him closer to me while mine eyes were still locked on the two build men who had now started to make their way over to us. Iheld my breath, shaking my head as they got closer and I even tired to make a run but it was too late. One of them grabbed Ethan away from me which made me shed tears right away. I screamed, yelled and even put up a fight to get Ethan back, who was yelling my name while tears left his eyes.
“Mommy!!”
“Ethan! Ethan! No! Don’t take him please! He has nothing to do with this! Please don’t take him !!” I cried in a loud voice but none cared to even listen to my plea. The other one grabbed me, harshly tying my hands with a rope while I tired to fight back but fail.
“Let go!” The one, holding Ethan, shouted at me after I wasn’t walking and I refused again but began movig when I was suddenly pushed harshly by one of them.
“If you act like a bitch, you’ll get treated like a f ** king bitch, get it?” The guy, who tired me up asked and I clenched my jaw in anger but didn’t say anything.
I continued walking, following the guy that had Ethan, tied, in his hands and came to a stop in front of a door. They both knock on the door three times before it was opened and both Ethan and I were pushed into the room with them following behind us.
“We have them” one of them announced and an unfamiliar figure came out from another room.
She had black hair, and looked so unfamiliar that I had to wonder who might it be. but I wasn’t unfamiliar anyone when she opened her mouth to speak.
“Good! Bring them over here” I recognized her voice right away. It was Anita. I clench my jaw on anger once more, hating at her. It’s because of her I never got to see my a baby again, after he was kidnapped and one week of age. It’s her fault I was left traumatized. Ir’s her fault that I cried for days, wondering where my child is. It’s her fault I was left depressed!
“So.. we meet again. bestie!” Was the first thing she said to me after I was brought over to her and I swear, I wanted nothing more that to slap her across her face. I send her a glare again which she rolled her eyes at and say in her so called thrown.
“I asked this bitch to do one thing. One simple thing! And that was to tell your asshole of a boyfriend to stop looking for me but this bitch here decided to tell him and think she can get away with it” she said, letting out a cold laugh after she was done talking.
“And now ..” she began, lifting her head to look at me. “You’re gonna face the consequences of disobeying me… along with your little brat of a son!”
“Don’t call him that!” I yelled at her.
“Did I give you permission to talk?” She asked, raising her eyes brows at me and I quietly cussed her under my breath,
“Bitch! You think you have the right to disrespect me right at my feet, tied up? Don’t you have fear of dying !?” She asked, clinching her fits together and l just rolled my eyes in response which caused her to her to get even more angry. She groaned, glaring deadly at me before calling one of her men over.
“Javier?”
“Yes?”
“Show her what I do with people that disobey me” she said to him and before I could’ve even blinked, a punch was landed on my face. One after the other while whimpers left my mouth and a crying Ethan, calling my name.
And with Ethan yelling my name with tears filled in his eyes, Anita seemed to get annoyed at his screaming.
“Make him quiet” she said, pointing to Ethan. My heart stopped for a second when the Javier, I think is his name, stopped punching me and began to head over to Ethan.
“No! Please! Don’t touch him! Don’t hur him, please !! I beg you!” I cried, trying to make my way over to Ethan and to shield him and I somehow did.
“I’ll stop talking. I won’t say anything, I’ll just be quiet when you speak but I beg please please don’t hurt him !!” I begged her and she sigh, rolling her eyes before ordering we her men to leave Ethan alone and I sigh in relief.
“I hope you do learn your lesson! Now as I was saying-”
“Bos!” A guy burst through the door with a panic look on his face had interrupted Anita from speaking.
“What is it Mario?” She asked in a tone that said she was annoyed.
“Th-they are here !! The cops are here! We’re surrounded!” He said in a panic tone and that caused Anita’s expression to changed. She swore under her breath, running her fingers through her hair while I sigh in relief. Maybe it’s Damon who have came with the police.
“What do we do now?” Mario asked on a panic tone while the two other guys swore under their breaths before opening the door and running away followers by that Mario guy.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Now it was only Anita remaining with Ethan and I and I sigh rant we might just be safe but her face looked terrified as she called on the guys to come back but they just kept on running. I let out another breath known in for sure that they won’t be back and a little relieved yang she’s the only one left. And my sighing seemed to get Anita’s attention and she glare at me while slowly making her way over.
“It’s all your fault! If you didn’t tell him anything none of this would’ve happened!” She shouted at me in anger. “And now you’ll pay! I’ll make you watch your son die right in front of you then kill you after you see him lying on the floor.. Dead!” She yelled, taking a gun out of the draw and I shook my head’no’while shielding Ethan, who was trembling even more, with my body.
“A-Anita you don’t have to do this! P-please don’t! Please!” I begged while she got closer to us with a smirk on her lips but she didn’t care at all. She just rolled her eyes before pointing to gun at Ethan, who was behind me.
“Say goodbye!” She said then pulled the trigger.
BANG!
A loud gun shot went off! But. but it wasn’t from her gun. It was from someone else’s and that made her drop her gun, she sat on the floor with he whole body trembling in fear.
“Freeze and keep your hands up! One movement and youre a dead person leaving this place!” I heard a voice said and I’m guessing it’s a police officer. I watched as she raised her trembling hands and the door was opened after, revealing a police officer that entered.
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult.” the cops spoke while putting cuffs on her and she just broke down in tears while he did so
“Are you guys okay? Is anyone hurt?” He asked after he had cuffed her and I replied with “yes we’re okay” and he nodded his head before talking into his walkie talkie and a few more police officer arrived a few seconds later along with.. Damon!
“Daddy!” Ethan called as Damon ran into the room and hugged both of us. I’ve never felt so happy in my life.
I hugged him, of course after the cops had untied my hands and cried into his shirt while Ethan hugged him also.
“I miss you!” I cried and he held me closely in his arms.
“I miss both of you so much” he said back then suddenly pulled away from us and began to examine us.
“Are you okay? Hurt?” He asked and I shook my heard no in response which made him sigh in relief.
“I’m glad you guys are okay.”
“Come on let’s go” one of two cops interrupted our moment and Damon nodded his head before he got up and took Ethan in his hands and held oe of mine in his other.
He kissed both of our foreheads before turning to the door and we exit the house soon after. I was left surprised at how much police was outside the house but what brought to my attention was Anita and the men that ran away, whaling as they are being place into the police cars.
They were even begging to not get arrested but the cops didn’t care about their cries, they just looked annoyed.
I sigh, following Damon and was taken to his car where I saw lan. He passed a smile to me and I returned one to him before I entered the car with Ethan and Damon. I looked out the window as the car drove off then back to Ethan who looked so happy and Damon who was also sitting in the back seat with us and hands intervened with mine. I never felt this happy yet. So happy to be safe, So happy to with Damon again and so happy that things will be the way it always was with Damon, I and Ethan.
And I’m happy to know that It’s finally the end…
