The search for Kaleah and Zoey Beckett

{Trigger Warning: Themes of sexual abuse}

[Third person POV]

"Good evening, Mimi Dawson here, today I come to you with bad news, police are on the search for successful entrepreneur Ellen Mule, in suspicion with the kidnapping of Kaleah Beckett and her daughter Zoey Beckett yesterday afternoon outside the mall, if anyone have any information where we could find this monster please contact detective Alexander Ross on the number on the screen, please let us save this innocent woman and her daughter."

Crystal Mule cannot believe her ears with the new news about her son, she always knew there was something wrong with Ellen, but to go for a Beckett the same family that ran the economy of the country they stayed in was beyond insane.

She was standing frozen in her living room with her mouth gaping like a fish when Layla came home raging with anger.

"What is going on, why is there reporters following me everywhere I go?" Layla says angrily, "I was even kicked out of the G**** store."

"Reporters are here?" Crystal asked, she felt like the whole world was crashing down on her.

"What is going on mother?" Layla asked.

"Ellen, he did something bad, he...…"

Before she could explain the door came flying and a dozen of police officers coming in.

"What is going on?" Crystals asks, a talk man handed her a paper.

"That is a warrant to search this house for anything that might lead us to your son Mrs. Mule," the man says before directing the men he came with to search the house.

'Sir… um…"

"It is Detective, detective Ross."

"Oh… yes detective Ross, um... well, I don't think there is anything that might lead you to Ellen," Crystal says so anxiously before getting close to the detective, "how much would it be to get you off this case."

Crystal gives the detective a smile, but he only looks down at her with a disgusted face.

"Ma'am, if you know where your son might have taken Mrs. Beckett and her daughter please let us know," detective Ross says firmly.

"What… I don't know… anything…. I just…..." Crystal says, Layla was still confused not knowing what was going on.

"What is taking so long?" Clayton who had just come in along with his cousin asks angrily.

"Well, it seems Mrs. Mule might know where the madam and your daughter are since she was so okay in bribing me to get out of the case," this made Crystal scared, she didn't know where Ellen was, but she had her own reason for not wanting him arrested.

"I don't.... I just wanted ...…" she tries to explain with the glare from Clayton, but nothing of sense could come out, how does she even explain this.

"My son doesn't know better, please don't hurt him," she says, making Layla who knows very well how Crystal feels about Ellen confused by Crystal's new tactic.

"Well, we will teach him better since you couldn't," Clayton says angrily, "if she knows where my wife and daughter are, make sure she speaks."

"What…... no, mother doesn't know anything, please spare her she is an old woman," Layla protested, "you do not have a warrant of arrest."

The detective along with the other men continue to search the house ignoring the two women.

After a long search of the house and taking all the documents that might lead them to Ellen, the police left the house.

"We will come back with a warrant of arrest," Alexander Ross said before leaving, making the two women shiver with fear.

"What was that mother," Layla asks angrily, "why were you defending that fool and what did he do? And why is the Greek God Clayton Beckett doing in our house?"

"Really, we are about to get arrested, and you only care about Clayton Beckett?" Crystal cursed, "Ellen kidnapped his wife and daughter, he was here to search for them."

"Maybe I should call him and stand in for his wife you know," Layla says jokingly.

"You think that man can love any woman that is not that wife of his? Don't be delusional, anyway I hope Ellen is not found."

"Are you insane, if he is found and arrested all him money comes to us," Layla says, "we will be two bad b*tches."

This made Crystal laugh with the absurdity of what her daughter-in-law was saying.

"You sure are dumb," she chuckles, "if he gets arrested, all this money and luxury goes with him. We are going to lose it all and by the look on Clayton's face we will be swimming in poverty very soon."

"What? They can't take his money, can they?"

"They can, all we have to do is find him before they do, have him transfer all his assets and money to our names."

In all her life she has never seen Ellen as useful, he didn't look as handsome as Archie looked nor did he have the charisma Archie did, she hated Ellen but if there is one thing, he did was make them a rich family.

And she doesn't care if he is given a death sentence as long as all the money comes to her, that is all the stiches she got while giving birth to him earned her, even her husband stopped finding her attractive after pushing that useless thing out her body.

[Meanwhile.]

Ellen has been pacing for a while now, he hates how his name is now being tarnished.

"What is wrong with that man?" he shouts, "you said you loved me, that means all this was consensual right."

He angrily said to Kaleah, but she doesn't answer, and he tug her by her clothes, "this is consensual right?" he angrily asked, looking into her fearful eyes with rage.

She slowly nods her head yes, "see, then why is this stupid ex-husband of yours painting me to be the bad guy, because you left his sorry *ss."

"Maybe I should just kill him, maybe then he will shut up."

"No please don't…..." Kaleah said making Ellen even more angry, how dare she defend that man.

"You, I thought you loved me, I thought you were on my side, but it is clear you are just like all the other women." Ellen says angrily, "I will teach you a lesson a lesson to love me and care for me, a lesson that will make you forget about that fool."

He violently picks Zoey up and puts her in the car seat next to the door. Before pushing Kaleah to bed.

"You will love me, this is the only way to show you how," he says before tearing apart the clothes that protect Kaleah's body.

"No… please don't," Kaleah begs but it goes unnoticed except she gets a slap on her face.

"What a filthy woman you are, I bet you enjoyed it a lot when that man put his hands on you," Ellen says angrily, "well you will learn to love me too."

He continues to violently tear apart Kaleah's clothes with no sympathy and not taking into account the poor child who was crying in the background.
