[Kael]
In a few days, our new product will be launched. Everything is going so smoothly that it’s almost suspicious. I couldn’t take any chance while we’re this close to the launch. I thought about a plan just in case something happens at the launch. It’s sort of my back up plan so I’m hoping nothing happens and I won’t have to use it. In any case, I need to focus on the project and finish it immediately so I can finally make a move to help Amelia. According to my sources, Amelia is still in that apartment complex. I increased the amount of people who are surveilling the location and even if Natalia attempts to transfer Amelia to a different location, I’ll find out about it.
“Hey Kael, I just dropped by to give you the remaining documents. Are you still thinking about how to get Amelia away from Natalia?&rdq
[Kael]“Isn’t it because she wants me all to herself and she couldn’t stand the thought of me being with Amelia?” I said but Terrence shook his head. I was even more confused. What else could be the reason?“Do you think that’s a good enough reason to kidnap someone and put yourself at risk of getting arrested? I don’t think so. Think harder, what else could make her do this to Amelia?” Terrence said. I thought about all the other reasons why she would do it. I do agree with Terrence a bit, it seems what I said was too light of a reason to kidnap someone and keep them locked up away from me. That wasn’t enough, then what am I missing? Suddenly, I thought about something. It was something I wasn’t even considering but it suddenly popped into my head.&
[Terrence] While we were following Natalia, we noticed that she kept coming back to a pharmacy near where the apartment complex was. At first, we thought she was just going over there to get some medicine for herself but she’s gone back to the same pharmacy 3 times in the last hour. Aira and I were really curious about what she’s been buying. “Do you have any guesses?” I asked Aira. She kept looking over at the pharmacy where Natalia was in and she thought about my question. I was trying to guess as well but whenever Natalia would leave the pharmacy, she would always bring a big paper bag with her. It looked like she filled the paper bag every time. We could barely see what was inside it.
[Terrence] “I’m guessing it’s probably medicine, a lot of it. Could she have an addiction?” Aira asked. I’m not gonna lie, that was something that was plausible. There was a possibility that she could be on drugs but if that were the case then the pharmacy would have alerted the authorities and they wouldn’t sell her so much if they suspected something. As we were speculating, Natalia walked out of the pharmacy and once again she was carrying a big paper bag, this time we could see something poking out at the top of it. I couldn’t see it all that well but I noticed that Aira has been paying really close attention. Natalia left and went back to the apartment. Aira suddenly opened the car door and she got out. I tried to stop her but she immediately stopped me. “Stay in the car. I’ll go by myself. If she comes back, call me immediately and I’ll try to sne
[Terrence] It’s been a few minutes and Aira wasn’t back yet. I was getting extremely worried about her safety. It didn’t look like Natalia would be back to this pharmacy any time soon so it was a bit of a relief. But still, I don’t know what’s taking Aira so long. I was about to step out and follow her when I saw that she left the pharmacy. I waited for her to come to the car. As soon as she walked in, she had a worried look on her face. “So, did you find anything?” I asked. She was spacing out and just staring at her feet. I tried asking again but it seemed like she couldn’t hear me. I tapped her on the shoulder to snap her out of her trance and it worked. She looked at me and I could tell that she found out ab
[Terrence] “What is it?” I asked, a little bit more calmly this time. She took a deep breath and she let it out in a sigh. She looked at me and said, “When Natalia walked out of the pharmacy for the third time, I noticed something sticking out on the top of the paper bag that she was carrying. When I went into that pharmacy, I was certain that what she bought were maternity pads. I also asked the pharmacist on duty about her and she told me that Natalia has been buying stuff for pregnant women. Vitamins, milk, all that kind of stuff.” Aira said. I was stunned to hear what she just said. I slumped back on my seat and I put my hand to my head. Aira and I were right.
[Terrence] Natalia was so obsessed with Kael that when she found out that Amelia was pregnant with Kael’s child, she kidnapped her and kept her from going back to Kael. She’s sick and twisted, that’s for sure. This is even more reason to have a plan on how to save Amelia. If she really is pregnant, we can’t just take her away, we need to be careful. I doubt she’s been living peacefully all this time and she’s probably under a lot of stress. Just the thought of her suffering was driving me crazy. “We have to help Amelia, babe.” I looked over at Aira and tears were streaming down her face. She must’ve felt really shocked and sad when she finally understood everything. All this time, I thought Aira would hate Ameli
[Terrence] “I know, and we will. We have to.” I reassured Aira. I gave her a hug to stop her from crying. Once she stopped crying, I told her that we should go back for now. I don’t think Aira’s in the right state of mind to continue following Natalia. We called it a day and I took her back to her house. I went back to my own house and I contemplated on what we uncovered today. I was just about to tell Kael about what we found out but I knew he was busy with the launch. I didn’t want to give Kael any more headaches and knowing him, if he found out what we found out he’d be too impulsive. We need to be ready.
[Terrence] The following day, there were a few documents that I needed to hand over to Kael so I went directly to his office. I handed it to him and I told him a little bit of what happened yesterday. I didn’t tell him directly about the things we found out however, I did give him a hint as to what it could be. I left his office after letting him think things through. “Excuse me, Mr. Grimes but may I ask you to sign this document? I was about to head over to your office to have it signed.” Kael’s assistant showed me a document that I hadn’t signed yet and I saw that it was for the upcoming launch. I gladly walked over to her desk and signed it. As I was looking around, waiting for her to file the document, I noticed a note on her desk. I usually don't pry int
