"Why are you so concerned?", I throw the question at him out of frustration
"Because I can't bear the thought of anything happening to you".

I scott my eyes open at the sudden outburst on my window, the sound of horns makes my ears bleed. Rubbing my eyes, I feel the tears drop on my face, my cheeks are still wet. Glancing around, I look at the traffic jam. Fuck Hurrying, up I reverse back.
Goddamit
I slept
Avery?
Starting the ignition, I make my way out of the heaps of people yelling at me. I don't know how I dozed off to sleep after the Black SUV kidnapped her, I followed them tracking her but then those bastards switched her phone off. There is no way further I can go, so I am going back to the hotel.
The sun is almost setting, within few hours it would be 24hours since Avery got kidnapped. I have looked everywhere I can, I even followed them but the path they took ended, so where they went? It's like she just vanished into a thin air.
How did it even happen?
The thought of her being somewhere in an unknown place makes me shudder, not having her with me was pure torture and now it's worst, cause I don't know where she is. As every second passing by, the pit in my stomach is growing massive. The sinking feeling is unsettling, she has already gone through so much since childhood, I just added more to her pain.
Steering rashly, I hop out of my car. She got kidnapped from their parking lot, they would surely have CCTV. I have already informed Dad, he is busy talking to the chief of staff.
"Eric" Mom comes caging me into a hug. Her face has gone paler than I have ever seen.
God who the fuck even informed her
"What have you done to yourself," she asks when I pull away. Certainly, I don't know what is she talking about, I fucked up everything and I am responsible for what is happening to Avery.
"Mom I am fine" I try to assure her smiling but I know it would have come out as constipated cause she doesn't look at all convinced by my answer. I feel sick of everything especially myself, I want to puke on myself, I feel disgusted at myself. The damages I have given her were still fresh, and now this.
Seeing them crying for me would only add more pain, I am trying hard not to burst out but as seconds are passing, I am sinking it's like I am walking on quicksand, trying my best to keep moving, keep searching for her but I fear the moment when I won't be there for her. Terrible thoughts are flooding through my head, hell she has PTSD.
Raking my hair, I look around waiting for Dad to finish his call with the Chief of Staff. There is a thick layer of awkwardness between everyone, I don't know why but they are passing each other random looks, even Rayce is standing still, his jaw still clenched while Cray seems paranoid. I was never this observant until Avery, I began noticing small things but I wasn't able to notice such a big thing.
Her traumatic past
Burying my face, I scream. This silence is killing me. Why aren't they doing anything? How would she be? Hell, I don't know anything it's like everything is stopped no one is moving, no one is doing anything. They all are just dead, that's what my life is without her. The thought of losing her again is enough to make me burn everything down to ashes.
"ENOUGH!" I growl standing up. The fuck they are starting at me for? "What the fuck is going on? Tell me what you guys are trying to hide?" I scream
Nobody is helping, nobody is doing anything, you all are just wasting your time, someone has kidnapped her, she is gone, no one knows where she is. I swear if something happened to her, I would bury you all alive.
That's when I give up, bending down I curse at myself and then at them. We have gone through CCTV but they can't find any evidence from it cause they all were wearing black.
"Marco kidnapped her" Cray declares, I look up at him, to search for any sort of lie but he ain't. Instead, everyone is giving him stern looks even Rayce. They were hiding this from me?
"The one who assaulted her Eric" he declares again. I look at Dad then back at the officers, they all are giving me pity looks.
Fuck
My heart bursts out of my ribcage, and my sobs break. The horrible thoughts make a squishy state of events in my mind. The worst is Marco, killing her & dumping her body in the trash or I don't even want to imagine the second one.My hands are shaking as I rake my hair more.
" Why aren't you guys doing anything then?" I raise a question but they just look at me as If I am taking my last breathes. "Why are you not answering?" I ask Dad but he looks at me the same.
The waitress passes me the glass of water but I toss it away, it crashes down on the floor. I can't gulp even a single drop of water, nothing will make me calm down, nothing except for her.
"We can't investigate further, cause he is blind & he can't do something like this" the chief officer answers. I clench my fists tighter, gulping my spit I get up while he moves back but before I could punch him, my phone rings, and all the attention is turned towards it.
"Who is there?" I ask but no one answers. Fuck "who the fuck is there?" I rasp, the voice of her soft sobs fills my ear. It feels like my heart has ground into pieces. "Avery," I say slowly, even saying her name makes me melt. "Eric" she replies choking on her tears, but before I could ask her more. The bastard speaks "Nice to talk to youLoverboy" he grins from the other side.
If my voice could kill through the phone, I swear I would have dumped him right here. "Fuck you where is she?" I growl while he laughs fucking bastard
"I see lover boy has got some massive anger issues, but watch your mouth when you talk to me," he says in an extremely calm tone
I control the fire burning inside me, I want him to tell me what he wants. I would do anything to bring her back.
"Cut the bullshit, what do you want" my voice comes out as shaky I am trying to control myself, to not seem like begging him for her, I can even do that for her. " God, I am already loving you," he says grinning more while I cringed.
"I want you to come & meet me, all the details will be provided to you, and oh uh just don't make the mistake of bringing the cops with you, I still have your precious girl!" He warns
"I swear if you even touch her or even go near her I would burn you alive" I deadpanned, but he laughs more.
His laughter makes my blood boil more, " sorry to disappoint you, lover boy but I have already touched her & done far beyond that I want her as much as you wouldn't even want her" he lets out "you fucking -bas" he cuts the call.
