Chapter 10: The Mystery Continues

Aisling's P. O. V.

I immediately opened my eyes as cold water poured down to my body.

For pete's sake!

I looked around and there I saw the same guy earlier. The flashback is over Ais, back to reality.

The cold water gave me chills. They are heartless!

The man nearby spoke. I was about to scold him with my words but my speech immediately stopped itself.

My eyes widened the moment she entered the room. The man continued.

"She wants to meet you." He said.

This can't be! My heart stopped its beating. Do tell me that I am still asleep. I'm hoping that this is just a nightmare.

Her poise and walks gave me shivers. The way she went near me made me feel that my agony is nearly about to start.

From afar, our eyes met its gazes. She smiled, I do not know if she is being sarcastic or what. She is so unpredictable.

She stopped walking, with a few meters of distance she spoke.

"Miss me honey?" She asked in a sarcastic tone.

Who would wanna miss you? Another nightmare of mine is born to life.

Someone's P. O. V.

I saw her tied up in a chair as I walk inside the room.

She deserves this.

Aisling looks pathetic and weak. What did Reed even saw in her? They do not belong to each other.

I smirked with that thought.

"So, wanna play hide and seek?" I asked while walking closer towards her.

She eyed me seriously. Oh, so you think you're tough?

I raised an eyebrow on her due to annoyance.

She's too annoying, I can't stand her presence.

"Sure, you hide, I seek. After all you never found what you are looking for, you suck at seeking." She replied with compliance.

I can tell that she is mocking me. Well, you chose the wrong day to mess with me Aisling Claire Xenon.

My expression grew more fierce as I replied.

"Oh... really?"

You won't get away this time, I swear I'll make you pay for everything.

"Untie her. I wanna play." I ordered the goons nearby.

They immediately followed my order. After Aisling is untied, she stood up.

Still trying to look fierce huh?

"I'll count one to ten," I said.

You'll die in my hands tonight. I pulled out a gun from my pocket, Aisling's face grew pale after seeing it.

"One." I smiled devishly as I cocked the gun.

Reed's P. O. V.

The boy continued to hug me tightly. My heart softened due to his actions.

"Daddy Reed, Mommy is safe right?" He asked.

I do not know what to speak of. I want to make him happy but I don't wanna lie either.

"She will be alright Yvo. Just trust in Daddy's skills." I said to give him assurance.

He moved away from the hug. Yvo looked at me in the eye. He smiled as he spoke.

"Daddy, I trust you." He said.

I smiled back at him. How sweet...

"I have to go now. Bye Daddy, take care of Mommy for me or else I will take her away from you and I will make her my wife." He said in a serious and threatening tone.

Kids these days. Yvo haven't age a bit, he still has this little attitude of him.

I softly chuckled in response.

"I will." I replied.

He turned his back on me and he immediately ran away.

I stood up and I fixed my wrinkled clothing.

Back to business Reed. Where shall I start?

The niece of Gavin or the crime scene?

Alas!

With a sudden thought, I decided to walk in a fast phase.

I think I have an idea of where to find those missing mystery pieces. She might help, or should I say she is help.

I've reached the Academy in no time, I immediately went to my car. No time must be left wasted. This is an urgent matter.

I went inside my car and I drove as if there is no tomorrow.

I know she is out today, I can recall her schedule but where could she be?

Think Reed think...

Of course!

I immediately drove to Sunshade Village. She lives there, maybe she is staying there. Well, I hope so.

She holds the answers that I need.

She can be the key in solving this mystery, maybe not throughly but at least she can give me a clue. A few minutes later I've reached my destination. The guard immediately did his job, he checked for my ID and I gave him mine. After checking he made me pass.

There, as I get closer my heart started beating fast. As if I can sense that something bad is gonna happen. From a few blocks away I can hear sirens.

Do tell me I am wrong. Please do...
