chapter 5

Continually ringing on her phone, Lola knew it was none other than Emelia, her mom, and those who were expecting her at the engagement party, but she wasn't ready to be scolded or insulted. She had decided to do one thing, and that was...

Picking up her bag, she headed out.

If she said she knew where she was going, then that was a blatant lie but what mattered more was going to a place where no one would notice her presence.

Stopping at a shop, she had wanted to ask for a place to go but recalling that her mum would have possibly done things to search for her at all costs, Nora kept on driving.

*****************************************

Mrs Turner walked up to Emelia who just came in with Chris. Looking at the huge crowd in the hall, her heart sank. "

"Your friend knows she has to be here even before 7 am. Don't tell me she is trying to defy our family rules. "

"Ma, Listen to me. Lola caught Steve cheating on her just yesterday and since the time we talked last, I can't seem to find her anywhere. I am scared she might do something worse to herself."

"Steve cheated on my daughter?!."

The door was open, and Steve walked in elegantly.

"And can you present your evidence that I did so?"

"Are you trying to cover all this up when it's true that you are not in love with Lola?" All she ever did was love you, not for you to manipulate both her and her family. " I don't do talks in this, but if you think you are smart, I can take this legally with you. "Chris's voice was filled with anger.

"Steve?... Follow me. Mrs. Turner's voice was heard, and they left.

"Don't you think there is something fishy about both of them? "

"Obviously, very fishy."

Emelia sighed sadly as she remembered Lola.

Jason's briefcase fell off his hands as he was preparing for his flight when he heard the news. Jimmy Davis was kidnapped. No. It couldn't possibly be his son. How could it be?!

Grandpa picked up his phone.

📞Are you at the airport already?

📞Dad, Jim has been kidnapped, and you are asking me this?! I have to get home as soon as possible. Activate all of my access, and I promise I will do everything you've been telling me about. I promise, Dad.

📞I would do that in a second but don't run at high speed, please. Jimmy will be found soon, I promise you.

The conversation ended, and Jason screamed in anger. Nothing must happen to his son, or else he would kill everyone responsible.

A worried expression showed on Ronald's face as he watched Jimmy breathe in and out slowly. Could the boy be dying? He saw some medications in his bag. happened hoped Jason wouldn't be late before anything wrong happened.

A phone beeped.

📞You bastard! Nothing must happen to my son, or else I would kill you and everyone involved!

📞Relax, I won't let him die but I would give him a scar to make him remember the mess his father brought him into.

📞Don't you dare touch that boy. I am coming over. Text me where you are.

📞And why do you think I would give you?

📞 That's because you and I know how the deal is. Don't get my son involved in this.

A laugh was heard.

📞Well...Let's see if you are lucky.

The conversation ended, and Jason rushed out.

Getting to a lone junction, Lola's heart went heavy. Could she do as she had planned? She hoped her dad and Emelia would forgive her for this stupid act that she was about to do.

Taking a substance from her bag, she broke down in tears again. It's better to end the pain at once than wake up every day to remember the hurt in her heart.

Finally shutting her eyes to gulp it down her throat, a shrill cry reached her ears. Who could be here, crying?

Stepping out of her car, she followed the sound as if she were being hypnotized. After probably saving this person, she would continue her mission.

A gasp escaped her lips as she found a shed built between the bushes. Who could have been staying here alone? Wanting to turn back out of fear of being caught. She caught a glimpse-armed, of a human at the far end. He was fully armed and she could tell that his gaze was deadly.

Finally awake, Jimmy woke up only to see a new environment. Standing up all of a sudden, Ronald stopped him.

"You were the one sent to kidnap me, right? "

Ronald was shocked at the little boy's confidence. "Yes, and you have to sit here til your father comes. Any mistake from you will get you killed. "

"I am not scared of guns. You all just want to get to my Dad using me but it would never be possible! "Jimmy kicked him as hard as he could and ran downstairs to any direction before him.

He would not allow them to kill his dad. They looked dangerous.

Meanwhile ...Lola who was on the third floor already sneaking in heard the conversation and knew it was a killer's hideout. What could she do now to save the poor boy?

Getting to a lampstand, Jimmy felt his heart thump harder and harder. He felt his strength leaving him. Where was his dad? Tears filled his eyes as he remembered the doctor's warning.

With the picture of his dad still in his brain. Little Jimmy kept running without looking back. Finally, on the third floor, he was about to fall when Lola caught him.

"Are you okay?.. You look so pale. Are you sick?."

A nod from Jimmy and Lola carried him then off downstairs.

"Boss!.. The boy has escaped."

Without a look of agitation, he spoke. "He will still be in the building and when you find him, kill him and make sure Ronald is dead too. "

Already on the first floor, Lola fell. Her heart went dead as she found the boy not breathing anymore. How could she escape even if she had to take him to the hospital?

Footsteps heard. Lola took a step outside when two gunshots were heard and she fell.
