Chapter Three

When I see Katherine leave Ares's office, while she was adjusting her skirt, I understood what they had been doing and I felt a bad taste in my mouth. When I am about to resume my work, I see him raise the curtains and I meet his gaze. I couldn't help but look at him with distaste to which he only gave me a smile.

My time to go came and I almost jumped with happiness, until he called me.

-Miss Harper in the week will come a very important partner for the company and I need the maximum help and collaboration from her-she did not look she had on glasses and was staring at her laptop.

-Of course sir, count on me- I wanted to go.

-Good Miss Harper, see you tomorrow.

I do not answer him and I take all my things quickly. I drive to Mia's nursery and there I meet Cassandra who is in charge of taking care of Mia.

-Hi, sorry for being late.

-Quiet, come here they are waiting for you- and there she was with a smile for me.

I take her in my arms, leave her in the back of the car and go to the supermarket, I had to do the shopping. With Mia in the kangaroo I am about to fill the cart with enough food, Mia throughout that journey did not stop touching everything that caught her attention.

When she was already in line to pay, Mia had taken the shirt of a man who turned around in surprise, perhaps he thought that his shirt had got caught in something. But when she saw that it was a baby she smiled.

-Excuse me, she doesn't usually do that-Mia just looked at him and smiled.

-It's okay, nothing happens, apparently she wanted to play. She is very beautiful, what is her name? -She did not have the facade of a murderer or baby kidnapper. He was wearing a blue shirt, and a black jean. His hair was light brown, beautiful green eyes.

-She's name is Mine-I doubted whether to tell her the name or not, but she didn't seem dangerous.

"Are you the babysitter for her?" When she asked that she looked at me with a smile.

-Ehm no ... I'm her mother-that question bothered me a bit, was it that bad?

-Oh I'm so sorry, forgive me. I introduce myself, my name is Evan, what is the name of the mother of this beautiful baby?

-Emma, ​​my name is Emma- Mia laughed and so did he.

- Nice Emma, ​​well, I have to pay. Nice meeting you both. Goodbye

-Evan the same, bye-I stared at him while he paid and left, in that I notice that Mia was looking at me and laughed-hey you, you're very naughty-I told him that and he started to laugh, sometimes I think he understands the things that I tell him.

It's my turn to pay, once everything is ready. She headed for the parking lot, dropped Mia in the car first, and tried to put the bags in the back.

Until I feel someone put a gun to my back and cover my mouth with his hand.

-Shhh, if you scream or something say goodbye to your fucking bitch baby- I panicked, I could only think of Mia.

I couldn't think of anything other than Mia. So many self defense classes I went to but they never taught me how to act in a situation like this.

-Give me everything you have if you don't want me to blow your mind and your baby.- I hand her the wallet along with the cards. Mia wouldn't stop crying and that made me even more desperate.

-Make him shut his damn mouth or I will !!

Mia kept crying and I didn't know what to do, so I see that he points towards where she was.

-No please don't !! Shoot my fucking son of a bitch, she's just a baby !!

-Shut up prostitute !!

He kept pointing where Mía was, he couldn't look. Then I hear how one of the windows of my car explodes from the shot. I let out a scream but when I open my eyes, Mia was still there, the unfortunate man had shot the driver's glass. Just to scare me, but I make Mia cry louder. I was startled to hear another male voice. I thought there were more and that they were going to take us but then I see it, it was him.

-Let her go or I'll kill you myself !! - I hear a male voice and a bit thick.

-Who the hell are you? Get out of here if you don't want me to kill you, you idiot.

"Go ahead, shoot, you mess with women because you're a damn coward." His eyes were blurred from tears and that made it difficult for me to see the person who was confronting the criminal.

This one knocks me to the ground and is now pointing at him. I couldn't make a sound and Mia had stopped crying. But then another taller man appears and hits the criminal from behind with a stick. It falls to the ground.

-Patrick take away the damn gun and handcuff him well- the man nods and takes him away. At that moment he approaches me- Emma are you okay? - He took my face and began to observe me from all sides- Did I hurt you?

I couldn't speak, I was still in shock. It was the first time something like this had happened to me.

"Mine," I hear him say, then I go back to normal and get up quickly to see that he's okay.

-Baby, here is mommy quiet. I'm sorry honey, oh I'm so sorry- I couldn't stop crying, I would never have forgiven myself if something happened to him.

-Emma come, I'll take you home- I had forgotten about him, I couldn't remember her name, I looked at him with a bit of distrust but those green eyes gave me a certain calm-Emma calmly, I won't hurt you, come on. Patrick will take all your things, don't worry.

I just seat and get in his car with Mia. He stayed outside talking on the phone in some he seemed to raise his voice and in others he only gave directions. Patrick gets in and starts the car. And he also climbs next to me.

-Emma stay calm, I already made some calls and you will never see him again- he looked at me worried since he did not say anything he could only look at Mia- hey calm, it was not your fault.

I did not answer him, we continue until we get to my house, they will be wondering how we got there if I didn't tell them my address. Well, I just dialed it on my cell phone and handed it to her driver. We arrive and then I decide to speak.

-Thank you, you really saved our lives-some tears escape my eyes when I say that.

-Quiet, listen to crying and the shot alerted me that something was happening-I observe that he takes out a card and hands it to me-here, call me for whatever you need.

-Thanks-I open the door and enter. Cierro is behind me and I hear how his car leaves.

I put Mia to sleep and go to take a shower. I don't know if I can sleep after this.
