Mr Marcello
His shoulders dropped and sweat broke out on his body. Could she have been kidnapped? No, He shouldn't think the worst yet. Cathy's touch brought him back to reality.
"Hey Marcelo, make sure you keep calm even if it's very hard to, give them the orders to search for her and I will do my very best over here as well. Ella can't be missing,okay."
Grabbing his suit jacket, he ran out of the office. He wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who lays their hands on her.
Meanwhile, Cathy made a call.
**********************
Evening came and Jenny waved Stacy goodbye. She walked home with a tired face, she stopped to hear a whimper. Who could be out here at this hour in this kind of a place? Sounds like a child but maybe she was just hearing things due to how tired she was.
Taking more steps forward, the whimper was louder than before. I have to go check, she thought, taking a step towards the sound.
She couldn't leave a life alone in this kind of place.
Tracing where the sound was from, she was shocked to see a little girl shivering terribly. Her dress was torn and there were cuts on her body. Who could have done this heartless act? Turning her over gently, Stacy carried her up and was off to the house.
A slam was heard and Mrs Helen stopped what she was doing. Getting to the sitting room, she was surprised to see her daughter with a little girl nursing her cuts.
"Stacy, where did you get a child from?."
Laying her properly on the sofa, she rubbed some ointment on her wound. Taking her mum by hand she led her to the kitchen.
"You could have woken her up with that scared voice of yours, don't fret mum, I saw her at the Lexis trees over there and I had to bring her in. You wouldn't have left her there if it was you,right?."
Stacy blinked her eyes as she smiled.
Mrs Helen sighed. But what if it's a trap to set us up or something?.What if.. "
Stacy embraced her. "Stop being scared.I am sure those who owns her were good people,thats why I could rescue her. Worry less and besides,what trouble could she be?.We aren't competing with anyone."
Mrs Helen patted her gently."I know but still..its better to be careful.Its just better to be careful."
A sigh escaped her lips softly as a memory flashed through her brain.
She hoped Stacy wouldn't walk the path she did.She just hoped Stacy wouldn't experience what she felt.
"Quit fretting and let's prepare something for her before she wakes up."
Mrs Helen stopped her."Stacy,are you getting excited about her?."
Stacy laughs."At least I got someone to talk to apart from you. You've refused to give me a sibling,so no more talks."
A laugh escaped her lips and Stacy winked.
*****************************************
A grunt heard at the beep on his phone,he sat up to see his guards at the door.
"What happened?."His groggy voice echoed.
"Ella has been taken from the mansion,Boss and we think Naomi is behind this."
Chris smirked as he tapped furiously on the laptop he placed between his legs.
"And her wristwatch?..Were you able to track where she dropped the girl?."
"Not at all. Naomi had everything planned already.I guess she knew about the wristwatch as well."
"I knew that bitch would rebel someday."Cocking his gun out,he gazed at them."Make sure you get Naomi for me and before that, make sure Mabel doesn't say a thing to Marcelo.Block out the rest in the mansion because it isn't time yet."
The two bowed."Yes Boss."
A figure came out from a corner, clad in just her underwears.It was obvious they had an all night together.
"Did he just say Ella?.I thought you guys weren't gonna involve that girl in your petty games."
The smirk disappeared from his face."Are you asking me that?. You could as well get your ass off from here and head off to the mansion to help them!. I don't give a damn on who gets hurt...as long as I can see the pain in Marcelo's eyes, it's okay by me!. "
Getting up,he looked at her."If any word of this gets to anyone,I will kill you with my hands.Dare me if you can."
He picked up his guns and left.

Morning...
The bell rang and everyone trooped out like leeches.Tension filled the atmosphere as they knew the bell could only ring for one purpose which was an inclination for danger.
Marcelo, walking in with his bodyguards sent shivers down the spine of every maids and guards standing.They knew what was on ground and no one could ever be innocent in his eyes.
"Where is Rose?."His voice reverberated in the hall.Anger could be heard as he kept seething his teeth.
"She got missing with Ella too. Naomi is nowhere to be found as well.
"Ryan?. "
"Yes Boss"
"Bring out those you saw in the CCTV footage before me."
Everyone froze.CCTV?..None of them had the hint of having that around them.
Mabel's gaze met Marcelo's and she looked away too quickly.Her hands were trembling as she was raging within.She had always known Naomi would screw their works up with her selfish attitude and here it was but how was she gonna escape this?. The CCTV cameras were surely gonna show her. She was so dead this time.
She jerked suddenly at Ryan's touch on her.His grey eyes could be seen piercing down her mind.Mabel knew she was screwed.
"Boss,Mabel is a suspect. I saw her on the cameras."
Not allowing a word out of her mouth,he dragged her out from where she was.
Mabel's heart raced harder as her knees felt too heavy to kneel.She had only two options.She could either beg for her life by telling them the truth or get killed by the gang for even getting suspected but sensing an unusual sound from afar, she knew she was being timed.
"Will you start talking now or I force the truth out of you?!. "
Mabel shook.Thinking more about where Ella could probably be, her compassion surfaced again.She had to say something even if she could get killed.
"I can't say anything.I can't say anything!..because I know nothing about what has happened!.Believe me or not.. I don't!."She yelled and whispered some words to Marcelo.
Two gunshots heard and Mabel collapsed in her pool of blood.
