The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 96

Aidan's POV

"My baby!", Anna shouts as I enter the house. She runs out of the car before I can even park the car

well in the driveway.

I run after her and barge into the house. I just hope she won't hurt herself. I wonder where Tristan was

when it happened.

Who could it be? Is it Damien?

I know Damien isn't the only enemy I have. He isn't the only person I am holding grudges against.

Apart from Damien, Tessa is there also and my father. I remember Tony and I wonder if he is capable

of doing this to get back at Anna for deceiving him.

By the time I enter, Anna is already on the floor in the living room. We shouldn't have spent a week at

my villa, we planned to spend just three days, if we had come back on time, maybe this wouldn't have

happened.

"How did it happen, Natalie?" I ask her with my hands on my waist.

"I heard gunshots in the early hours of this morning and came out to check if all the doors are closed

when I saw two men dragging Tania out with the baby. They had her mouth closed with something and

they took her away in a van." She explains in tears.

"What type of van was it? What color? Can you remember the faces of the men?" She shakes her

head.

Anna begins to lament again, more loudly, and the maids around with fears on their faces. No one is

safe here anymore.

"What about the securities?"

"They are dead", she breaks down into tears and I spin around, rubbing my face with my hand in

confusion.

I want to call the cops when Tristan enters. I throw him a cold glare.

"Where the hell did you go to when this happened?" I push him angrily.

He bows and answers. "I went after them."

"What?" Anna and I exclaim at once. She gets up and rushes to him. She holds his shirt tightly.

"Who are they?"

"I don't know who they are. I lost them but I was able to stick a tracking device on their van", he replies.

I gaze at him intensely. "So you have no idea who they are or who sent them?"

"No, sir", he replies.

"Do you know where they are taking them then?"

"Yes, I believe the device will help as long as they don't notice they are been tracked. I came back for

backup, we need to act fast and trace them to wherever they are going to."

I am thinking, trying to figure out who could be responsible for this but as much as I try to shuttle my

thoughts between all the people I have issues with, my father, Damien, Tessa and now Tony, only one

of them keeps appearing in my mind, Damien.

"Let's go", I walk past Tristan, wishing I can fly to wherever they are and rescue them before Damien

can hurt any one of them. I don't know what Damien wants again from me but I am ready to fight him

with all I have to save my baby and her nanny.

"I am coming with you", Anna remarks and runs to my side before I can protest.

Evelyn's POV

I am preparing to go over to Aidan's mansion today. The restaurant is ready and I want Anna to help

me in recruiting my staff. I have conducted the interviews already and I am indecisive on who to

choose. It's been a long time since I visited and I missed Lily. I finish up my make-up and pick up my

bag to go out when I hear the knock on my front door.

Who can it be? I wonder. I don't have any friends, my daughter is my only friend.

Is it Anna?

I walk to the door in a hurry. I am glad Anna understands me now. I needed to talk to someone the

other day after leaving Pam with her father at that restaurant, so I had to swallow my pride and call the

only friend I have, my daughter.

She came running despite how late it was and I told her everything. She listened to me with rapt

attention as I pour out my heart. I told her my fears and I confessed what I feel for Adam after assuring

her that I will not have anything to do with him again. I saw how she smiled at me in admiration for my

courage and it made my heart swell with joy.

I throw the door open and I am surprised to see Pamela standing by the door with a light smile on her

face.

"What are you doing here?" I can't hide my surprise that she is at my door by this time of the day. I am

also wondering why she is here.

Did something happen to her father? I ask within me.

If something is wrong with her father, she won't be smiling this way.

"Can I come in?" she asked me with a doubtful look.

"Sure." I move from the door to allow her in.

She enters and I follow. I sit on the sofa before she sits opposite me. I see her fumbling with her fingers

nervously and I wonder what it is she wants to tell me that is making her this nervous.

"Pam", I call. "Is anything the problem?" I voice out my thoughts.

"Ermmmm, I came to apologize for my behavior concerning your relationship with my father...."

"I am not in a relationship with your father, Pamela. Be rest assured that there won't be any future

relationship either." I force out a smile.

"I'm sorry", she apologizes with a sad countenance.

"It's ok", I smile at her.

I understand her fears, I know why she was behaving that way and I will make sure nothing ever

happens between her father and me ever again. She is a girl that grew up in a broken home and she

hasn't overcome the trauma the separation of her parents had inflicted on her. I understand everything.

"Are you sure?" she asks me.

I didn't know when I smile genuinely. Pam is such an innocent girl, I know now. So I open my arms for

her to come for a hug to show her how serious I am about the whole thing. She grins and rushes to

give me a tight hug.

"Thank you", she says when she is out of my embrace. I nod.

She stands up abruptly. "I have a surprise for you, come."

I raise my brows. "Surprise?"

"Yes", she beams.

I take her stretched hand and we both walk to the door. I am thinking of the possible things she wants

to surprise me with.

Is Anna outside or what?

She opens the door and I see Mr. Adam and Richard outside. I turn to stare at Pamela with a puzzled

look.

"What is happening?" I ask her.

She shrugs. "I'm sorry for being childish." She says.

I turn around to tell Mr. Adam something when I see him go on his knees.

What the hell! I gasp. Why the hell is he kneeling?

"Say yes, please", she whispers into my ears before walking past me out of the house. She grabs the

phone from Richard and begins to take a video of the moment. I am still standing with mouth agape in

disbelief.

"It's been long since I did this and I don't know how best to say the words I ought to say to you so you

can know how much you mean to me, will you please marry me?" he asks me, still kneeling.

I don't know what I am feeling and how to respond. Do I want this too?

"Adam......" I trail off. I don't know what to say.

"Say yes!" Pamela and Richard as if reading my mind.

I am still standing in confusion, thinking of what will happen if I reject him and also what will happen if I

accept him. Do I have anything to regret if I accept him? Will I regret rejecting him?

Pamela's phone begins to ring interrupting me from talking and she picks it up.

"Anna, guess what!" she squeals. Then her face drops and suddenly becomes pale.

"What?!" she exclaims loudly, dropping the phone.

"What happened?" I rush to her, pushing Adams away from my way. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

I know it has to do with Anna. Did something happen to my daughter?

"Pamela, What happened?"

"Lily and her nanny have been kidnapped", she announce.

"What?!" we all exclaim in shock.
