Chapter 44It had been twenty four hours since Theo was kidnapped and they also hadn't heard from Stephanie. Sarah was growing frantic and the kidnappers had not called, they were sure it was Ray now though. The CCTV cameras caught the car that Theo was in on camera and it was the same one that Thompson used, and they all knew it belonged to Ray. The police was trying to track Ray down to where he kept his victims, but all to no avail. It seemed like he was too smart for all of them combined. They could not figure out where he was after the entire day. The fact that a child was wit him made the situation much more complicated."I think it's time for us to draw him out," Astra said as they all had lunch together, Nicholas, Sarah, Jared and her. It had been bothering her so much over the entire day. It was all her fault. It all started because Ray wanted. If she was the one that Ray wanted, he would get her."How do you propose we do that?" Sarah asked snarkily. The woman had the good g

Chapter 45"He thought you were cheating on him?" Jared asked. Astra had even forgotten that it was not just her and Sarah at the table.Astra turned to him and sat down."It was one of Ray's tricks. He had this video and pictures. I saw them. I thought they were me. I was naked, with five men, five different locations. He also did something on fraud to make people leave Nicholas' company. Ray can be very ruthless," Astra said and Jared looked shocked."Why would he go that far? I cannot even imagine how much hurt he caused just by that. That man would hurt you Astra. He already did, and he would hurt you even more," Jared said and Astra felt even more scared."He won't hurt me, he believes he loves me," Astra said even if she wasn't convinced by her own words."You surely don't believe that Astra. Talk to her Sarah," Jared said. Astra shrugged."We will be very careful, the fact that he is dangerous makes it more obvious that we cannot leave a child and a pregnant woman with him. I w

Chapter 46"I am willing to do anything, as far as you promise to let them go," Astra said and took a deep breath. She hoped she was not making a wrong decision. She knew that it was a but reckless to make a decision at all without telling anyone in the first place, but it was an emergency and everyone would understand. Besides, she already made up her mind to set herself up as bait."Anything?" Ray asked from the other end of the phone. Astra took in a deep breath. She was grateful that she had called Yvonne earlier and asked of her baby. "Yes, anything. You have to assure me that Theo and Steph will be safe though," Astra said. She was hoping that her voice sounded as confident as she needed it to be. She was already scared. She did not need him to add to her fear."Well, in that case, you have to meet me up at the cafe in front of your house in thirty minutes. You will be one the phone the entire time, no funny business. I will let Theo and Stephanie go and I will show the video e

He knew that panic could be heard in his voice, at that moment, he really didn't care."There is somebody at the door," the man said. Nicholas did not stop the analyze the statement as he rushed outside."Is something wrong?" He could hear Sarah ask."Come outside," he simply said and rushed outside with the body guard."There were cars before, they are gone," the body guard said.

She was just standing at one point. The both of them looked tattered.Sarah rushed to her and carried Theo in her arms. His nephew started crying immediately. Even his tears did not sound like they u

As Astra sat in the car that drove both her and Ray, she wondered why she had not seen the signs. Well, there was also the fact that she might have seen the signs but had ignored them. At first when they were in high school, it was taken as just a crush and it was even looked upon as cute back then. It had made Astra feel a bit good that someone liked her that much. Over time, Astra saw that it was posing as a problem, but she did not take it seriously. It was when she got into college and realized that he was trying to sabotage her relationships that she even took a little seriously, just a little though. Astra had actually thought that if he met someone else that he would leave her alone.Astra did not want that person to be Stephanie at first but her friend had been so hooked on Ray that Astra could have not dissuaded her if she tried, and Astra tried. She did a lot to make Stephanie leave him, but it did not work. After a while, it seemed like Ray's attention shifted from her to S

She was becoming unhinged and mad like him.She had learnt more than a few things since she got to his hideout.

The woman that he loved was kidnapped and he did not know what she was going through in the hands of her kidnapper, and now the son that he did not know existed was sick with cancer. Nicholas just stared ahead and held Brian in his arms, he could not say anything to Yvonne. The car drove them to his house in quiet. Nicholas did not say anything anymore. The words died on his tongue, and for a while it felt like all he could do for Astra was to pray.“Why was Brian with you? Why not Astra’s parents?” Nicholas asked. It seemed like a safe topic. Nicholas figured that Astra’s parents would have told him about the child. They had been so sympathetic during the divorce. “Did you not know?’ Yvonne asked. She looked shocked.“What?” Nicholas replied. He was curious as to what she meant.“Astra’s parents had disowned her because of the divorce.
