LOGINZACHARY'S POVMy eyes bore into Ashley's as i leaned in, my voice firm but controlled. "Ashley, we know you're involved in Kimberly's disappearance. It's time to tell the truth."Ashley shifted uncomfortably, her eyes darting around the room. "I don't know what you're talking about," she stammered.My expression remained calm, but my eyes flashed with determination. "Don't play dumb, Ashley. We have evidence. Tell us where Kimberly is now while I'm still being nice."Ashley's resolve began to crumble under my intense gaze. She glanced around the room, searching for an escape, but found none. "Okay, fine," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll tell you what I know. But you have to promise to protect me."My expression softened slightly. "We'll do what we can. Now, tell us."Ashley took a deep breath. "Christian Norman is behind Kimberly's disappearance. He's been planning this for months. And...and....... and I helped him."My eyes widened. "Tell me, Where is Kimberly?"Dam
KIMBERLY'S POVOnce my blindfold was removed, I saw that I was being kept in a completely different place from before.The man untying my binds started touching me inappropriately and that's when I couldn't take it anymore.I listened to my intrusive thoughts and bit the man's hands.Once I was free of him, I made a run for it.I ran out of the room, not knowing where I was going but as long as I was moving I'd find my way out.And that's when I bumped into someone, he was so solid that I stumbled backwards.Oh my God. A familiar face.Christian."Christian? What are you doing here? Did you guys find me? Is Zachary here with you?" I asked feeling a bit relieved to see him.Perhaps I was finally saved."Not exactly," He said looking a tad bit confused."Well, did you find me on your own? We need to leave this place before they find us," I said dragging his hand with me."Yeah. We're not going anywhere sweetheart." He said with a firm voice.I quickly let go of his hand while I studied
CHRISTIAN'S POV~As I pondered on the mysterious message, my mind racing with possibilities, I decided I must find out who this person is soon before I get in trouble. I didn't want to alert much people, I didn't want everyone to know that someone might be onto me.I turned to Ashley, who was watching me with an unreadable expression. "Let's get moving," I said, my voice firm. "We have a lot to do before tonight."Ashley nodded, and we set to work, preparing for the next phase of our plan. But I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being watched, that someone was waiting for me to make a mistake.As the hours ticked by, I grew more and more anxious. The message had unsettled me, and I couldn't focus on the task at hand. I kept glancing over my shoulder, expecting to see Zachary or someone else lurking in the shadows.But there was no one.I pushed on, determined to see my plan through to the end. I would get away with this, no matter what.As night began to fall, we made our mov
ZACHARY'S POV ~"Don't lie to me, Christian. I've seen the way you've been lurking around Kimberly before. You're involved somehow. Tell me what you know," I pressed, my voice rising.Christian raised his hands in a calming gesture. "Zachary, listen to me. I'm telling you the truth. I don't know anything about Kimberly's disappearance. But I'm willing to help you find her. If you want us to work together."I hesitated, weighing my options. I didn't trust Christian, "No. Thank you. I'm working fine on my own.""Come on Man, I know we're not exactly in good terms like we used to be, but I also care about Kimberly so please let me help find her. Atleast for my own conscience," He insisted. "Fine. Let's work together. But if I find out you're playing me, or you're not being completely honest with me, there WILL be gravy consequences," I said to him.Christian nodded resolutely. "I understand. You don't need to threaten me. Let's find Kimberly."With Christian's assistance, My investigati
ZACHARY'S POVI realized Hours had passed since Kimberly's disappearance as it was now 3:am the following day as our search went on all through the night. And suddenly it clicked. I remembered my encounter with Alexandria last time and she didn't look quite happy to see Kimberly. Why would Kimberly suddenly disappear shortly after that encounter?I informed my security of this immediately and they decided to question her once the sun comes up.My father was sorely against it as he was certain that Alexandra Wallace wasn't capable of doing such dirty work."Come on Son, you really think because you refused to marry her, she'll go to such lengths as to kidnapping?, You've known this girl almost your whole life. You know she isn't capable of that. She wouldn't." My father defended. "You weren't there when she confronted me in front of Kimberly, father. If Alexandria is behind this, I'll use everything I have to make sure she pays, if her parents are involved, then I'll use all my swea
ZACHARY'S POV ~When I got back home from work, i heard some splashes of water coming from the back of the house and decided to check it out.I saw Bryan and Bailey throwing water balloons at each other in the swimming pool."Hey kiddos." I said to them."Hi Zachary. You're back." They both greeted me."Yes. And I got some pretty cool things for you both. Here, you can have these delicious cupcakes and cookies when you're done having fun." I said to them."Thanks man." Bryan said and got out of the swimming pool to take some of the cakes."Seriously? Glutton much." Bailey bashed him playfully but Bryan shrugged."Hey where's your sister?" I asked Bryan."Umm... right here." Bailey said raising her hands."Not you silly. Where's Kim?" I asked them."Ohh yeah, that's strange. I've barely seen her all day. Just in the morning when she was running around doing nothing." Bryan said."I think she said something about going out to get something in a coffee shop or something." Bailey and "S
