I was busy working in my office when Luke suddenly budged in. I frowned placing the documents I was holding on the table. He looked worried and it was unlike him. My mind went to the one person that could get Luke looking like that and I stood now my own heart beating fast. “What is the matter?” he looked like he has seen a ghost.
“I just got a call from one of my men, it seems Samuel was taken.” No! “I had listening devices planted inside her house and I heard from there what happened. They have been trying to get hold of Olivia and Marcus but with no luck. It is up to us to find him.” fuck! Why did New Village always find a way to suck people in?
Seriously, I was starting to move on from that place and now I was being sucked right back in. But then again. I would do anything for Olivia and that boy. “When do we leave and do, we know where to start?” Luke nodded. “I have a pretty good idea who might have done it, and we leave now.” Shit! I made plans with the doctor and now I was about to stand her up.
I made a call to Owen as we walked out of my office, I wanted him to apologize to the doctor for me and tell her some story as to why I could not make it to our date that evening. My worry was not with her though, the message was just common curtesy. Samuel was my priority, and I knew Ethan was already on it, but I also wanted to be there.
Part of the promise I made to his mother to make things right with her also included him, taking care of him when she couldn’t and right at that moment, she couldn’t. Luke looked like he could kill someone. “So, who do you think did it and why?” I wanted to distract him from whatever he was thinking into thinking about something else.
Like murdering the man who took him in the first place. I wanted him thinking of different scenarios he would torture him when we found him because that was what I was thinking about as well. What kind of a monster kidnapped a child?
“Marcus’s uncle, he threatened Olivia at the reception.” What the fuck? And there I was thinking I was the worst thing that ever happened to Olivia. But it seemed I was not the only one. I knew it was bad but I kind of feel good knowing I was not the only one who was bad. The ever so composed Marcus Walker had flaws too.
“Why did he threaten her, didn’t he want her marrying Marcus?” goodness! I didn’t know why that made me so happy. If that were the case then that meant I could still fight for my family, my wife. “No, he made Olivia sign a prenup and she told Marcus about it. when he found out he got angry and started the process to cut him off and take everything he owns.”
Fuck! Walker’s fortune was huge and even with half of it one would still remain a billionaire. Any greedy man would retaliate if that fortune was threatened. Damnit! Now I felt bad for being happy thinking Walker was a fuck up. Only to find out that the man was only trying to do the right thing when the fucker did this.
“Why do you look so disappointed, what did you think the threat was about?” I was not going to tell him. the fucker would turn on me faster than he kills that monster who took his grandson. “Am disappointed because this man only waited for them to leave to pull this stunt, He didn’t want them around to stop him when he does it.”
I sighed as I settled into my seat. “This is going to cause conflict between the two and a lot of
e will go around.” Luke said nothing but asked for the hostess to pour him a drink. I declined it, I wanted to be sober when I got to New Village. Also, I was afraid I would drink too much and end up doing stupid stuff I don’t remember the next day. Like sleeping with the doctor.
God! That was fucked up. She better not ask me about it or I would not be able to answer her. before take–off, I made a call to Given. “Sir?” I missed that guy. “Gather the men and meet me at Olivia’s house. Someone took Samuel” I heard him curse under his breath.
“I will do that, and I will put out feelers to see if I can’t find anything.” That was why I kept him around. “Good, I will see you soon Given.” I cut the call. “If I didn’t know better, I would say you are gay the way you go on about these two men of yours.” I raised an eyebrow as I didn’t know how to answer that.
“Then am glad you know me better.” The moron. The engine rumbled from under us, and we started to move. I looked out the window and said a little prayer. I asked God to protect the boy, as much as I didn’t have a relationship with him, I wanted nothing bad to happen to him because that would kill my wife.‘
“Do you want me to find a way to get in contact with them well, they might think I was the one who did this if I called. I regretted even asking. “No, don’t do anything until we find a lead. There is no point in worrying her when we have nothing. I want us to call and tell her when we have something to go on.”
I nodded, he was right, I couldn’t even imagine how she would feel hearing the news. God! I wonder what it would be like seeing her again. I know a month was not that long and definitely not as long as the two years she was incarcerated. But back then I fooled myself into thinking she was going to come back to me. noveldrama
But now, I was going to see her for the first time as someone else’s wife. Thinking about it hurt. Something inside me twisted painfully causing me to rub my chest trying to soothe the pain. Dear God, be with me. Give me enough strength and wisdom to find my boy. Let me not fail them this time.
