“Well, hello there.” I hear her perfect voice ring into my ears, I rest on the bed staring at the ceiling like a little girl in high school.
“I promised to call you.” I reply.
“I know, and its good you kept it.”
“How is everything?” She sighs.
“Good, how about you?”
“If I finish-” A knock on the door catches my attention, I rose a brow. Why is anyone coming to her at this time?
“Wait a second, stay on the phone.” She puts the phone down; I look to see her still on the call.
“Arabella?”
“M-Marc-marcel…what are you doing?” Her stuttered voice returns, my eyes widen. What on earth is Marcel doing there and why does she have fear in her voice?
“Where’s Rose?”
“She’s in the bathroom…”
“Get her out, before I do it myself.” Anger tortures me.
“What are you doing!”
“I said get her the f**k out! Do you want me to f*****g shoot you?”
“Mummy? Whim not done.”
“I know sweetie, but we have to go.”
“Go where?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“Is Ace there?”
“No, where are you taking me?”
“To someone who has waited a long time for you.”
“Arabella! Arabella!” I smash the phone against the hotel window as I storm out of the bedroom, banging onto Rodrigues door. “Open the f*****g door!” His door shoots open, I push myself in rushing my fingers through my hair. I should have stayed; I should have f*****g stayed.
“Ace-”
“I should have f*****g stayed! Get my plane ready.” Rodrigues stutters, no one has seen me this angry before and it was a sight you wouldn’t like to see. I am going to f*****g kill anyone who laid a hand on either one of them, and this time I shall put no mercy in front of me.
“The plan is ready, Ace what’s going on?”
“Marcel took them.” I return.
“What!”
“Are you f*****g deaf? You want to be stupid? I said Marcel f*****g took my family! Get all my men ready for standby because when I find out where they are I am not going easy. Get my allies on the phone.” I push past him, back inside my room where I slip on my dress shirt, I grab my gun strap and throw it over my shoulders before adding two loaded guns inside.
She never pressed the button on the watch yet, this is the reason why I knew I shouldn’t have involved her from the minute I fell in love with her. Because they use your weakness to get what they want.
And she’s my weakness.
Stepping into my meeting room, where Rodrigues and my secretary held the files my eyes lock with my fathers. “What are you doing here?”
“I know where they are.” My eyes widen.
“Well? Where the f**k are they?”
“I cannot say, but let me tell you something, they are getting hurt…really f*****g bad.” He smiles as he spoke, he was up to something. Four men walk inside my office, standing behind my father as some sort of guard to protect him from me punching him in the f*****g face if he continues speaking.
“Where is she?” I said slowly to get it through his thick skull.
“Ever since Arabella made the cut into your heart, you have not grown stronger, only weaker and I did not! Raise you to be a weak man! I see the way you look at her, and her bastard child.”
“Enough!” I growl. “Do not speak of them in that matter.”
“See what I mean? Weak, you are weak. So, I had to do something, something to sort them out for you.” I move forward, only to be pulled back not by Rodrigues but his men. I rip my arm out of their hold and punch the man behind me in the face for even touching me. “I gave them up,”
“Father what did you do?” I whisper out.
“Her father wanted her back, Jacob wanted his child. And I want the heir killed. And I want you back to your old self.” I rush towards him, grabbing onto his neck before punching him straight in the face. Over and over again, hearing the fights of Rodrigues behind me not until I feel an injection pierce my neck. My muscles were no longer felt. I am limp. “And this time, it’s going to work.”
“I am going to f-f-f*****g kill you.” I strain out as four of his men push me against the ground. Grabbing my both arms and cuffing them behind my back. I should have known this man was too quiet when Arabella was here. I should have listened to Arabella when she told me how uncomfortable she felt.
I should have stayed knowing I have a damn child on the line.

Waking up, I see myself in a dark bedroom. I immidtaley jump out and look around, to see nothing. The door opens and it reveals Marcel, he steps inside along with my father. And instinct got me rushing towards Marcel, I grab him by his neck and smash him against the wall roughly. “Where the f**k is my family?” I shout like a dog barking into his ears, he shudders as I throw him into the glass window. I watch it fall down him, the shredded glass.
I reach him, and he expects help from my father who stayed silent. I throw a punch, over and over again. He punches me back in the face, but instead, I break his arm. I hear him cry and my father releasing a few words.
“Would you like to see her?”
“Where are they?” I growl.
“Stop being violent, and I shall show you. Chain him.”
“Touch me and I will make sure to end your life.”
“Do you want to see your ‘family’ or not?” I look down at a hyperventilating Marcel, I kick him in the face once more to knock his annoying self out.
They forced me into an office the moment I woke up, and the moment I did, all I saw is CCTV Cameras showing each and every cell. I had my father beside me as we step in, I see one CCTV camera that caught my eyes.
Her.
She laid against the floor, and instead they zoom it into one of the bigger screens. My eyes widen once I see the whip mark on her back, “what the f**k did you do?”
“Well, it was a welcome from her father.”
“You sick bastards!” I growl, trying to seize onto my father only to be pulled back by chains.
“For trying to attack me, you get this, I want you to lose every feeling you have of her, I want you to be disgusted of her,” he presses a red button on the side, as he forces me to sit down onto one of the leather chairs. I see her cage door opening; she lifts herself up. “Put the sound on, let him hear her screams.” She looks to the cage opposite her where sat a crying Rose.
“Mummy!”
“Rose, c-cover your ears!” Her voice. I have never head her so broken in my life. She sounds like she is slowly giving up but does not want to show it for Rose.
Three men walk inside, closing the cage behind them as two of them grab onto Bella and push her onto the bed, I hear her cry for them to get of her but they do not. Then, they rip her shirt of and I growl loudly. Then, he unbuckles his belt and my eyes widen as he pulls down her trousers.
I rip the chains of my hands, and elbow the man behind me in the face before grabbing his head and smashing it against the key board of the CCTV. “Sedate him!” I hear my father say, but fury was getting to me as I stride to him, he scrambles backwards but before I did anything, an injection was plunged into my neck. I pull it out and stab the women who put it in me with it.
I grab onto my fathers neck, but stop when I hear her cries for me. My head turns to the camera. “Ace! Ace help me! No! Stop!” I watch them plunge into her, roughly. My heart breaks as I hear Rose screaming for me. And as I watch them rape he, I walk towards the screen before pulling it out, my body falls to the ground. My muscles unfelt and something happened, something that I haven’t done in years.
A tear fell from my eyes. Before closing.
