Vendetta: Mysteries that surround it

Chapter 14

"And hence I announce the inauguration of the Angello fashion week," Alexandra finished her speech, followed by a round of applause from the audience.

As she got off the stage Francessca took brisk steps towards her.

She seemed to be in a hurry, "Ma'am! Your phone won't stop ringing so I picked it up, it was your aunt, it seems to be an emergency."

Francessca said, extending the phone towards Alexa. "OK, I will call her" she sighed. The moment her aunt picked up the phone, Alexa spoke very annoyed,

" You know I am very busy right now, what happened?"

"A-Alexa!Al-" Her aunt was choking on her tears.

"Hey! Are you crying ?! What happened?!!" Alexa questioned her, a bit panicked.

"B-Bianca"

"What happened to Bianca?!! Speak clearly!!"Alexa was now shouting a little.

"B-Bianca did not come back from college. Robin couldn't find her anywhere he waited for hours." Maria managed to finish.

Alexa took a deep breath and said," Do you have any idea where she might be? At a friend's house maybe?"

"She is not even picking up my calls and even her friends are saying she is not there. I am very scared! Alexa, please come home!"

"Okay! Okay! I am coming, did you call Uncle?"

" H-he is on a flight to Italy, he seems to be unreachable for a few hours. " She said in a hurry.

"oh god!" Alexa sighed in frustration, "I will be right there, don't worry too much we will get her back, okay?"

"O-okay" Maria's feeble voice came out.

As the call ended Alexa quickly rushed toward Francesca and said, "You need to take over for now!"

" Why ?! What happened, is everything alright at home?!!" Francesca asked, a bit startled.

"Bianca is missing," she said in a low voice.

"WHAT?!!"

"Keep it down," she said whisper shouting at her," I will explain everything later, I have to go now, take care, bye!"

And she bolted.

As she walked out of the building in speedy steps, she quickly dialed a number," Carter ready the weapons and track down Bianca's last location ." She said in a serious tone.

"Yes ma'am"

Alexa quickly got into the car and drove off as fast as she could.

As her car entered the mansion, she saw hundreds of men in black standing outside the mansion.

Alexa widened her eyes," I asked that idiot to prepare weapons, why did he get an entire army as if we were going to war."

She gave a frustrated sigh and halted the car in front of the mansion.

Leaving the car in the middle, she rushed inside the mansion to look for her aunt.

No matter how much she despised her aunt and her cousin, they were her only family that showed they cared.

"Alexa!" she saw her aunt speed towards her.

Her aunt's condition broke Alexa's heart. She remembered her mother, being worried for her child.

"Alexa, why are there so many men outside? Is Bianca in big danger? Tell me!" She bombarded Alexa with questions.

"Maria, relax that's just Carter" She sighed, "I asked him for weapons and he got an army, you know him."

"Weapons? Now why the weapons?!!" She was getting very frustrated over everything as worry was eating her up.

"I don't have time to explain it to you, I need to go."

"Catherine, take care of her " Alexa rushed out as she signaled the maid.

"Did you check the location?" Alexa questioned Carter, the most loyal man that works for her.

He could be a little extra at times, but he was never going to betray her, she knew that as a matter of fact.

"Her last location was near the embassy area, and after that, her phone's GPS was turned off of course," he said while rolling his eyes.

"The embassy area? Which sane person would go from the embassy road during a kidnapping?!" she questioned him, "That's where most cameras are. It's very easy to get them from there."

"They must be stupid kidnappers." he snickered.

"Or maybe they want us to find them," she pointed out.

"Huh?"

"There is no way those people are stupid, I mean even in college, Bianca is always surrounded by high-end security. If they managed to take her from there, I don't think they can make such a mistake."

"So.. you are saying?"

She sighed," So I am saying, that they wanted me there. Look into the CCTV footage there and check if there were any familiar faces in the car."

Suddenly Alexa's phone rang.

All the eyes shot up towards her. She nodded her head towards Carter as they both jogged inside the house.

"Trace it" she ordered him.

"I am ready," he said with a thumbs up.

"OK" She picked up the phone," Hello?" she started.

"Alexa... Alexa...how are you ?"A deep voice came from the other side.

" Who are you?!!" She growled a little at the phone.

"I am fine, thank you for asking,"

She had a frustrated look on her face," You know that's not what I asked."

"Oh... relax honey, I enjoy seeing you all frightened over your missing cousin, sad that I missed your uncle's reaction."

Alexa quickly looked around as she felt a little leap in her heart, thinking he was somewhere here or maybe he had cameras.

"It's pointless," his voice came again, "You will find nothing by looking around."

" Who are you? And what do you want from me?! Where is Bianca? I swear to god if you lay a finger on her-"

"Calm down my lady," he said casually as if he was having a lot of fun toying with Alexa,

"You thought I made it easy for you? No, no you can't track me so quickly, I will just tell you that I am at the place where an innocent was killed, you know what I am talking about, come alone, BYE!"

"WAIT!WAIT!Hello? hello?!!" He cut the phone before they could completely track him down.

"UHHHH!!! GOD!!" She threw her phone at the wall in anger.

"I thought you never really liked your cousin?" Carter questioned her seeing her reaction.

"I didn't, but she is innocent Carter, she knows nothing about all of this." She sighed, placing a hand on her forehead.

"And what about where an innocent was killed? Is he talking about your parents-"

"No, it was in Australia. There is no way he took her to Australia in a van in a few hours. And it was two of them."

"Then what?"

Alexa was thinking deeply. She understood which nightmare that man was talking about. She was just connecting the dots.

"I know where they are! Get me a car filled with weapons ."She stormed out of the house.

" No.No.No, there is no way I am letting you go there alone. "Carter said as he realized what she was planning to do, "You don't even know how many men are there."

"Don't worry I got a plan."

"The plan to get yourself killed? I see that." Carter said scoffing a little.

"See you! Bye!"
