Chapter Twelve

It's been days since their last encounter, and Rue finding out about her pregnancy. Today, she was at the doctor's office for her appointment. She was getting a sonogram. Everything was normal. Her baby was healthy.

Rue talked to CL about everything, and they both decided to still be business partners. CL was out of town, but she had an important client to sign with. She asked Rue to go in her place as she was out of town. Rue agreed to do it for her. After getting the paperwork ready, Rue received a text telling her where she was supposed to meet the client. 

She took note of the location as she drove her way toward it. After ten minutes she reached her destination. Rue came to a stop and turned her vehicle off. She looked around and saw it was a somewhat secluded area away from the busy city. Stepping out of the car and walking towards the little building, she walked inside and noticed it was dark and dimmed. Rue checked the address that was sent to her to see if she had put the wrong one but nope she didn't. 

Rue was about to leave when she felt arms wrapped around her. She fought against the person but they brought a cloth against her mouth. She inhaled the smell and passed out. The person lifted her body and carried her out of the building. 

Xavier's phone rings and he answers it. He smiled, "Great. I'll be sure to have your payment in your account soon," he tells the person on the other line. He hangs the call-up and smirks at Michelle before nodding his head a little. She smiled knowing the plan had gone well so far. 

Christian sits in his office thinking back to what happened a few days ago. He questions why was Rue smiling like that before she realized he was there. His phone goes off notifying a text came through. He picked it up and read the message. 

Meet me at xxxx now

It was from an unknown number. Who could it be from? Curious as to who it was Christian stands up grabbing his keys and coat. He drove to the location. It was a warehouse that was surrounded by farmland. There were no houses or any other buildings around just land. Christian stepped out and analyzed the warehouse. He walked inside seeing it was empty until the door was closed shut behind him. 

He turned around startled by the sound and saw a figure standing by. 

"I'm glad you came, Christian. I've been in hiding for years and finally had a chance to contact you," the figure said.

Christian recognized the voice. It couldn't be. There was no possible way. "Mom?"

The figure came into the light and smiled. "Yes, it's me. I missed you so much my son," Christian was embraced by his mother who was supposedly dead. Words couldn't describe the exact emotions Christian was feeling. There was so much he needed to say and ask but couldn't properly speak. 

She pulled away and looked at her son's eyes. She missed him dearly and was absent from his life for years. She didn't want to be apart from her son any longer. 

After the little reunion Christian and his mother went into her little home she used to hide from the world. She answered all the questions Christian wanted to ask. She told him everything about that tragic day. 

"That day, I had left the house for an important meeting so your aunt Terra was there. Your aunt and I were twins. We never told anybody about us. Your father didn't even know I had a twin. We kept this a secret. Your aunt Terra didn't know the exact details of my marriage so, when your father cheated again she decided to confront him in my place. Christian, you're father killed your aunt Terra and once I came back home I found out. I ran away leaving you in the hands of that monster. I'm so sorry and I hope that you can forgive me," She cried. 

Christian held his mother in his arms. 

One week Later

He tells his team about the incident and that his mother is still alive.

"I can't believe your mother is alive," Dabin said astonished as he looked at Christian. Dabin sits down and looks at Dean. Everyone felt happy for Christian. 

A big knock was heard on the door to the safe house. Christian, Dabin, and Dean looked at each other confused as to who it was. They put their guard up and Dabin went to open the door. He pulled the door open and there stood CL who was shivering. "Come in. What are you doing here?" Dabin asked as he stepped aside allowing her inside. He closed the door as she asked where Christian was. 

CL walked into the main room and saw Christian and Dean.

"CL, what's going on? How did you even find this place?" Dean questioned. "Now is not the time to be asking me how I got here, something is absolutely wrong," She replied.

The mood became very serious. This was not like CL. Whenever she said something was serious or important she really meant it not like a joke or anything. 

"Has anyone talked to Rue or seen her?" she asked. Christian became worried hearing this. "No. Why?" Christian asked wanting to know more. "I sent her to meet a client while I was out of town but when I got back the client said he never met with her. I tried to contact her but it goes straight to voicemail. I even went by her place and she was not there."

Christian was about to say something when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He took his phone out and saw it was a message from his father with a video attached to it. Christian then put it's on a big screen so everybody can see. He clicked play and there they saw Rue. She was tied to a chair. She was gagged. 

"Christian, as you can see here I have your precious Rue. I suggest you give me what I want and I could let her go but If not you know what will happen just like your mother."

Xavier shows up on the camera and stands beside Rue. He then smacks her across the face and the video ends.

"OMG!" CL exclaims. Christian becomes enraged and throws the computer across the room. He yells out in anger. 

What is his father up to? 

Why is he doing this?
