Kidnapped

Clifford returned home to an unusual silence. He called out to his wife but there was no answer.

"why this awkward atmosphere?" he said to himself.

He went up to the bedroom but she wasn't there. He searched through the washroom and the entire house but couldn't find her.

He tried contacting her but her phone was switched off.

"This is so unusual of her." He said to himself.

He went out to their neighbours to enquire, if they have noticed his wife going out or heard any strange noises from his house but none of them could help.

He rushed back to the house confused and frustrated. He sat back on the Sofa, thinking what to do. He suddenly remembered that he hasn't contacted his family.

"Maybe she might be with any of them." he said to himself

He took out his phone and first contacted Lian.

"Hello Cliff?" Lian answered

"Lian, Is Rosita with you?" he asked anxiously

"No Cliff, what happened between you two." Lian asked confused

"Nothing, she told me about going shopping today but I returned from work only to meet

her absence. I have searched everywhere but can't find her."

" Have you tried calling her?" Lian asked

"I did but her phone has been switched off." he replied

"What! This is so usually of her" Lian answered worriedly

"Yes I know, that's why I'm so worried".

" But have you called Nicholas and Houston to check from them?" Lian asked

"No" he answered frustrated

"Calm down Cliff, let's do this. Call Nicholas and Houston and let's see. I'm heading to your place now."

Lian hanged up and head off to Clifford's apartment. Clifford called his other brothers but none of them knows where Rosita was. He got so frustrated and didn't know what to do. Lian pulled his car in front of the house and called out to his brother.

" Cliff, let's go see mum. She might be with her."

Clifford rushed out from the house and they speed off to their mum's house.

THE HOLLANDS' MANSION

Lian pulled the car in front of the mansion and rushed out to meet their mum.

"Mum..! Mum..! Lian called

" Rosita..! Rosita..! Are you here? That both called out simultaneously

All the workers and Mad.Flora came out to meet them.

"Son, what's going on? Why are you two here?" Mad.Flora asked

"Mum, we can't find Rosita. Is she here?" Clifford replied

"What! I have not seen nor heard from her the whole of today." Mad. Flora answered

The whole house was thrown into confusion and chaos with this revelation.

Mad.Flora : I think we should report this to the police.

"Okay mum." Lian answered

Lian went ahead to the police station to make the report. Clifford stood quietly scanning the room and noticed Nichole's absence.

"Where is Nichole?" he asked his mum

" She is in her room. I think she is asleep." his mum answered

"Excuse me mum, I have to talk to her." he said rushing upstairs to Nichole's room.

"Why son? Is everything alright? She shouted after him confused

Nichole's Room

Nichole was on the phone talking with the kidnappers.

" We have done as you asked. Now she is with us, what should we do with her?" That voice asked

"That's good." She smirked

"Keep her and wait for my orders. I will send the balance of your money soon" she replied

There was a heavy knock on the door. She got startled and hanged up the call. The knock came down again and this time with a double force. She went to the door and opened it. Clifford rushed in pushing her aside.

"Where is Rosita? And what have you done to her?" he asked furiously

Nichole closed the door and turned to Clifford with an innocent face.

"I don't know what you are talking about." she replied with a confuse face

"Don't try to play innocent with me" he replied angrily

She advanced towards him seductively

"If there is any kidnapping to be done, it's you I would go for because it's you I want. Moreover, I have not even stepped out of the house today." she replied

Clifford pushed her away and angrily left to the door. He froze in his tracks and turned to Nichole,

"I won't let you go scot free if anything happens to Rosita and my unborn child" he said to her and let angrily

She smirked and tossed herself on her bed in satisfaction.

"You will be mine soon, Clifford." she said to herself
