Life Without Adi (Book Two)

Chapter 10

Rey's POV

I followed my target as she walked into a cemetery. I parked my car, and walked in behind her. She purchased some flowers and kept walking when suddenly she turned around. I decided to purchase some flowers so she wouldn't get suspicious. She turned around and kept walking. I followed at a distance with my flowers. She walked to where the Kashap graves were. They had a whole plot just for themselves. Something about keeping all the members close. This was a little confusing though. No one in the family had died recently and the ones she knew were alive. That means...my guess is right. I stopped and took a deep breath. I was going to do something I had never done before, but I have to for two of the girls in my life.

She stopped, and sat down in front of one of the graves.

"Hey, baby...I'm sorry I haven't visited in a while" She sniffed, "Look what I have" She pulled out a photograph, "It's when you were born. You were so beautiful"

I moved a little to see the name on the gravestone...Naina Kashap. Bingo! I dabbed some chloroform on my handkerchief and walked up to her.

"You would have been such a beautiful girl. You would be in 5th grade, and your brother and father...(she started crying) they would have loved you more than anything. To think I couldn't give you all of that" I stopped, "Naina, I am so sorry sweetheart. I couldn't be a good mother"

That's it! I held the handkerchief over her mouth. She struggled, but I held on until she went limp. I looked at the flowers...what a waste to place over an empty grave. I placed the flowers in Alisha's lap and picked her up. Man she was lighter than most women her age. I looked at her...hm and beautiful too bad she is my stepbrother's stepmother...Oh well what is it to me. I ignored all the people staring at me. Imagine Aditya finding out that I kidnapped his mother! I laughed...should I tell him? Nah, Aditi would get mad at me. I rolled my eyes as I gently placed her in the back of my car. Technically she isn't married to Mr. Kashap yet. I looked at her face. Nah. I closed the door, and got into the car.

"Hm..." I looked up from my files and saw Alisha waking up

We were sitting in my apartment. The sun was setting so my office room was lit poorly. I sat within the shadows behind my desk looking at the scattered files across my table. I had tied up Alisha to the chair in case she was still as fierce as my mother described her to be. Her head drooped in front of her so her hair had come loose from her clip and rested on her cheek. Suddenly her head jerked as she searched the room struggling against the chair.

"It's useless," I said calmly, "You would be surprised to know, your son taught me how to tie that specific knot...which you taught him"

"What?!" She looked up in my direction, "Look I don't know who you are but leave my son out of this!"

"Wow," I laughed, "The lady is tied to a chair in an unknown location by the man that kidnapped her and she is worried about her son who is in London...tsk tsk tsk the heart of a mother."

"What do you want?" She said quietly

"You aren't going to scream for help?" I walked over to her

"I am sure you aren't stupid enough to put me in a place where that will work"

"Like mother like son" I knelt in front of her, "Tell me Alisha...how did you lose your daughter?"

"What...?" She looked up at me shocked, "How do you..."

"Know about your missing daughter?" I gently moved a strand off her face, "You look like her"
