Chapter Fifty-twoThe TrapSophie’s POVI stepped away from him, who was this man and why was he doing this to me? I didn’t understand what was going on. I was supposed to be in the court with my attorney, who was now lying helplessly on the floor, I didn’t know if he was dead or not.I was supposed to be there, fighting my case and for my kid’s custody, but here I was, in the middle of nowhere and with this unknown man.“Who are you?” I questioned, trying every possible best to hide my fears, “what do you want from me?” Even with my best, my hands still trembled with fear.He laughed and threw the clothes he already pulled off to the cushion, leaving his with his shirt and pants. He dipped his hand into his pocket and looked into my eyes, the most victorious gaze I had ever seen, “don’t you understand it all now?” He asked, “are you that slow?”I was in no way offended by what he said, all I wanted to know was why he had to lure me from the court and for what reason he did that, why

Chapter Fifty-three“I Care.”Sophie’s POVI watched as Maxon fought with the man, wondering what exactly he was trying to proof, he was the same one who ordered for me to be lured away from the court so he could win the case, and how he was here acting like the hero?I couldn’t hold it, I couldn’t hold back my anger, just who does he think he is to behave this way? Does he think he can treat me like a play thing? I was sure that he must have won the case, the case must have gone the way he wants it to go and now he has the custody of the kids, that is why he is here to save me out of pity.I shook my head, I just couldn’t deal with him and his games anymore. I watched as he pinned the man to the wall and was about to stab him with the broken piece of vase in his hand, but I rushed there and grabbed his hand, stopping him.I had to be careful, he might hurt the man and even pin it on me later, I couldn’t trust anyone, especially not him after what he has done.I believed that he would

Chapter Fifty-fourA Ray Of HopeMaxon's POV"I don't want to go, I want to stay here!" Amara screamed, tears rolling down her eyes as she held my legs firmly.I didn't know what to say or do, if I should console her and tell her to go with her mother, or I should keep her with me just like I wanted. Wouldn't it prove all Sophie was saying right if I kept her with me and didn't let her go with her mom? Wouldn't she think I was playing the kids into staying with me.Sophie walked to us and grabbed Amara's hand,but she still held my leg with her other hand tightly, "We have to leave, we can't stay here any longer, okay?"Amara shook her head, "No! I want to stay here!" She cried out.I hate to see my kids cry, but I didn't know what to do, I didn't know how I was supposed to stop her from crying and follow her mom, or how to tell Sophie to let the kids stay back with me, I didn't what her to think something else.As much as I wanted my kids with me, I wouldn't want to disrupt more the a

Chapter Fifty-sevenThe QuestioningMaxon’s POVMy stomach rustled with happiness and excitement, I would be with my kids for two whole days, without an hindrance by their mother.I would be spending the next 48 hours with my kids, all alone with them. If only the judge would approve that, I would be the happiest man alive.“We do not have a problem with that, your honor.” Sophie’s judge stated.My whole body shook with excitement, I would be with my kids, I would be with them for two good days, I just couldn’t wait for the hearing to be over and for me to go home with my kids.Now, the judge didn’t have a reason to turn that down, since Sophie and her attorney were okay with it.“With that, I accept the opposition attorney’s request that the kids should be with their father for the next two days. The next hearing for this case has even scheduled to the next two days.” He said.I felt like jumping up and screaming on top of my lungs, I was going to have my kids with me, and even thous

Chapter Fifty-nineThe AbductorMaxon’s POVWhere could he be? Where could my son be? Who took him from this place? Where could he have gone? All these questions raced through my mind with my pounding heart.I couldn’t find answer to any of them, I could remember leaving Asher out there and telling him not to go anywhere, where could he have gone?I looked around, to see if he was anywhere close, but he was nowhere to be found, there was no trace of him, my heart raced.Where could my son be? I was sure he would still be there if he wasn’t taken away or if something hadn’t happened, I was sure there was something wrong.“Asher!” I called out, but no answer came, “Asher!” I called again, but it was still the same, Asher was nowhere to be found.My stomach grumbled, it felt as though life left my body that minute, I couldn’t tell where my son was, I couldn’t tell where he could have gone and what might be wrong with him, I was in a mess, my mind was in a complicated state, I couldn’t th
