C5 Journey Started

Chapter five- Journey started

Nadia’s POV

She looked down the floor her eyes because of crying, but before she could utter a word, the police came and narrated the whole events to them. They looked on shock drawn on their faces, then my mother started looking at my body to check to see if I was hurt. This confirmed that I was right that it wasn’t me they were worried about. I looked around to find everyone except my son. I didn’t want to believe that it was my son that they were worried about but just to be sure, I inquired,

“Leo is sleeping in his room right? I will go and see him. ”

I turned to leave but my mother’s voice stopped me in my tracks, she cried louder

“Leo is gone, someone has Leo. He is nowhere to be found.”

Her words were like knives stabbing at my heart from several directions. I couldn’t help but shout out, thinking that it was his father that had come for him once again without my knowledge,

“Shit!! Shit!! Damn it!! That bastard has got my son once again. ”

But my parents shook their heads silently and replied,

“No, he hasn’t got him, your father even went to his place but he was nowhere to be found. This looks deadly this time, they even had the driver killed. ”

“What? They killed Edward? Who has the courage to kidnap my son?” I questioned angrily.

Then I remembered, something was really going on, first I was followed and was almost killed and when I returned home, my son was gone. Could it be that when they didn’t get me, they came after my son? Thoughts ran through my head and I didn’t know what to say or think. I then questioned my father,

“Dad, why did you take my gun from me? I needed it so much this evening what if those bastards were able to take my life? Please don’t be this careless next time. I will go in search of my son.”

My father looked at me astonished, thinking that I was suspecting me, he asked in a low voice,

“Are you thinking that I am responsible for his kidnapping? Of what results will I get from that? Get your head straight young lady. He is my grandson.”

I had to correct his thoughts, I wasn’t suspicious of him, and so, I answered,

“I am not suspecting you dad, I was thinking that maybe something happened and because of that you took my gun. Did anything happen before all these happenings?

He shook his head and replied,

“It was for your own good, please don’t go anywhere, the police and his father are on the case. You have all those bruises on you, you look tired please have mercy on our poor hearts. ” cried my mother.

“Okay then I will go and wash up but in an hours time if I don’t hear anything about my son, then no one can stop me. ” I proclaimed.

I turned to leave but my younger sister commented,

“Stop acting tough this isn’t words play in your office. ”

I sneered and made my way upstairs into my room.

I got into the room and rushed into the washroom, I let the water out but made it steam out then laid in it for fifteen minutes. I became energetic and got up and took my shower five minutes later and I got out of the washroom ready to scan the city for my missing son. I wore my jeans and shirt and put on a water proof cardigan and got out of the room through the window because I knew security would be at my door with my Father’s permission to keep me indoors. But it seemed he had forgotten I couldn't be controlled, with the help of my robe, I sneaked down to the ground. And then the journey started.

I stood beside the pool in my house the only place without security cameras and our secret passage out of the house. I dived into it and reached for the button that opened to the end of our house. My father kept that secret passage there but I didn’t know the reason for it and I wasn’t ready to question him about it.

To reveal the fact that I knew about it hence I had also built my secret place there. At the end of the way is a big sea that we had been told not to swim in it, the reason known to only my father. I watched the sea which always urged me to enter but I ignored it, I had more important matters to attend to. I reached the mountain beside the sea and tapped on a weak spot on it to reveal my Toyota Highlander and my arms room.

That place had being my secret way out of my personal life and my secret hideout. No one knew the driver of the car except myself because I was mysterious and it was this way that I gave birth to my son with Mr mysterious.

Yes, my son’s father doesn’t know me personally or the person behind the mask. But I knew him as well as my parents did, even though they didn’t like it, I was also the president of his company. So how should I say this? I am both the black sheep and the white sheep of the family.

I entered the room and took the equipment that would help me in my endeavor, I took ropes, bomb, firearms, guns and most importantly my mask. I removed my cardigan and clothes on me and dressed in black shorts, I kept my shirt which only clothed my chest on and put my long black boots. After that, I got into my car and put on the gun holder and kept one in gun in it then drove away from the place.

The first place I was venturing was his father’s place, I knew my father had come here but he couldn’t have searched well for him because he couldn’t expose his identity. I got to his mansion and stepped out of my car and made my way into his room.
