Chapter THIRTY EIGHT.

(DEAN'S POV)

I've arrived late to Nicole's place and I was able to get to her door. I knocked countlessly but no one responded. I felt irritated by this and tried to call her. Unfortunately it always led me to voicemail and eventually I spoke at the tone of recording a message.

"I need to see Khumo and I hope your reason to not answer my call is good enough to waste my time. Please Call me when you get this."

After that, I went to the parking lot and got inside my car. I drove back to my mansion and already found my maid completing her duty for the day.  It was midday around this time. Once my maid had left my house, I became thoughtful about Nicole's sudden silence.

Even though I am not romantically in love with her, I still cared enough about her. I decided to send her a message from my phone while I placed my light meal on my kitchen counter.

> Please, let me see my son Nicole. I'm worried about you guys.

I waited for a response but nothing changed either way. This odd moment started to worry me internally. By the hours of the day passing by, I still haven't heard from her. It eventually became evening and around that time I heard my doorbell rang. I was expecting her face but instead a red beautiful large gift box was left on my door step.

Without feeling emotional but hesitantly I picked it up and took it inside the house. I placed the box near my meal but before I decide to open it, I ate my food first. Soon after that, I read the note and thought of Nicole's childish tendencies.

"She probably thinks this is a date." I said to myself as I roll my eyes from reading the note. I opened the box and saw a round white plastic wrap that needed to be unwrapped. Just as soon as I was completing to unwrap, her cold bloody head was revealed.

Instantly the smell from her lifeless head caused me to vomit for a bit and my reaction from this was a total shock. My mind quickly remember who's behind this. "Zain." I thought verbally.  Within seconds of noticing this unpleasant sight I remembered my son from this situation. My temper was over the roof in realizing that he might've kidnapped my son and maybe he is in a process to kill him.

I called my men to track down Zain and I immediately left my house to search for Khumamelo. This war between us was personal that my eagerness to murder Zain and his crew turned into an oath.

"FUCK!!!" I screamed out of frustration worrying about my precious boy.

While I was driving around the city looking for a clue to find my son, an unknown number called me. Without wasting time I answered it and started saying,
"I got the message already. Now bring back my son. Zain."

"Well surprise, surprise. I'm glad you got the message loud and clear. However, this is not Zain speaking but rather his best man." a stranger said.

"I don't give a fuck about who you are. Where is my son?" I asked him.

"Your baby boy is as healthy as a cub. His little strength definitely reminds me of the Lion King movie you know? I call him Simba and his smile is precious which means he likes the nickname." the stranger responded to tease me.

"You will fucking pay if you dare touch my son. You hear me?! I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU ALL." I exclaimed from anger which then made the man laugh from my reply.

"With that energy, you will definitely meet your son in heaven. Listen here Dean, you began this fight. You should've left Larona alone and allowed Zain to be with her. Right now here we are playing a chess game in real life. I'm warning you boy. Keep playing dirty with us, we will certainly play dirtier to respond. Good luck finding your son. Just pray for him while you're at it because you might find him dead if you waste more time. " the man concludes the conversation by ending the call.

I continously screamed out of stress and anger while driving every corner of this city searching for my boy. The trauma of my best friend's death together with my son's kidnapping was leading me to lose concentration on the road. Without realizing my surrounding as I was driving, I got hit by another car from my side and a major car accident occurred.

Luckily, I was conscious and alive from this painful experience. My body had big cuts and bruises which made me feel more physical pain. I tried to remove myself from my crashed car so that I can walk out of the accident scene. With success from doing that, I limped to leave the scene. People did gather to witness this accident and some tried to prevent me from leaving.

I pushed whoever was in my way aggressively and while I tried to continue my journey by foot, I noticed Masesi coming to my direction.

"Fucking move away before I push you on the ground and don't even think of stopping me." I warned her while walking to pass her. "Dean, your bleeding all over and you need medical help. Let me take you to the hospital right away." she said to me.

"FUCK THE HOSPITAL! JUST GET OUT OF MY SIGHT. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M CAUGHT UP WITH RIGHT NOW SO GET LOST!" I shouted at her face and my body was aching with severe pain.

Masesi stood by my side and forced me to get inside her car. I refused so many times and she did not take No for answer. She even persisted to block me from walking any further. In my weakness, I started crying and got inside her car. She went to the nearest local hospital where her other friend was in charge of that hospital who prioritized my health with urgency.

I tried to run away from the hospital to avoid admission but unfortunately for me, they injected a medical drug that causes me to pass out instantly. This was when my body was placed on a hospital bed. Masesi was witnessing my mental breakdown in all of this and she takes out her phone to call her best friend.
