My Step-Brother Boss 18+

Chapter 35: My son's life is in danger!

Madison

"Hey, Where is Luca?" I ask Edward, who just came home from work. Edward looks at me "Is he not with you?" I shake my head, "Mom says you took Luca with you, this morning?" Edward's eyes widen, "I didn't take him!" He defends. 

"What?" I ask, panicking. "Let me call her," I grab my phone from my pocket and ring Mom. "Mom?" I exclaim as she answers the phone. "Where is Luca?" I ask, "I told you, he is with Edward," 

"No, he is not! Edward just came home." I confront, panicking. "How is that possible? Edward's driver took Luca from me, saying Edward is taking him to work," I facepalm myself, "Edward doesn't have a driver," I snap. 

"W-what?" I hear the worry in her voice, "Where are you?" I ask. She hesitates before speaking, "With Anthony..." She mutters. I scoff, "Someone kidnapped Luca! Come home now!" I end the call, before dialing Damien's number.

"Is Luca with you?" I ask, as soon as he picks up. "No, I'm at work with Hudson, Why?" "L-Luca is missing," I sob, "What?" Damien asks, confused. "S-Someone kidnapped Luca, T-They said that they were Edward's driver, a-and that Edward requested for them to bring Luca t-to him," My voice breaks, "Edward doesn't have a driver," I continue. 

"I'll be home in 10, don't worry," He ends the call. Edward rushes towards me, "I checked the CCTV cameras, I've got the car number," He comforts. I hug him, sobbing. "M-My son, Luca. He is unsafe," I cry hard

"Shhh, He is going to be alright," Edward rubs my back in circular motions, trying to calm me down. I could see the worry and panic on his face too, yet his voice and actions were calm and composed. 

"What did the person look like?" I ask, "Blonde hair, he was wearing a suit, face mask, and a hat. I think he has blue eyes," Edward informs, I nod. 

In under ten minutes, Damien enters, along with Hudson. "Hudson, go upstairs, lock your room, don't come out until I say so," Hudson nods; without a doubt, he walks upstairs. It looked like, he was used to this stuff. Two bodyguards followed him. 

Edward tells Damien, whatever he knows. 

Suddenly, My phone rings. Damien nods cautiously, telling me to pick it up. I slowly reach out for my phone, and pick up the call. "Hello?" I answer, "Ah, It is nice hearing your voice after a year, sweetheart," I recognize it instantly. "Dad?" I exclaim.

Edward looks at me surprised, while Damien maintains a blank expression. "Listen up, I don't have time to waste," His voice turns cold, as I put the phone on speaker. "You have Luca, don't you?" I snap.

I could hear a chuckle from the other side, "You guessed it," I scoff, "What the fuck do you want from me?" I scream. "You know exactly what I want, my shipments," He chuckles, "I don't know anything about that!" I try to lie. 

"Liar, I will give you two days, if you don't make it on time; it will be a shame for Luca, to not even be able to live for a year. Poor boy," Tears brim in my eyes at the thought of anything happening to my son. "Let go of Luca, I will give you whatever the fuck you want," I sob.

"That's the spirit, but Luca is staying with me, while you deliver my stuff; After all, I need some time to bond with my grandson too," He chuckles, evilly. "The shipments must be delivered to my warehouse," He ends the call before I could say anything else.

"We have to give him the shipments back," I say, "No," Damien interrupts. "Excuse me?" I furrow my eyebrows, "We can't give him the shipments back," Damien argues, "My son's life is in danger!" I yell. 

"I know, but giving him the shipments back means ruining the lives of hundreds of girls," I instantly shut up. "I'm not sacrificing my son's life though," I mumble. "I know, that's why, we have to come up with a plan," He says, calmly. 

"What plan?" I ask, "Instead of the girls, My men will be in the shipments, they will hide behind the empty boxes, and attack when necessary. We will put a bomb in the containers. While my man distracts your father, I will go and rescue Luca." He explains, 

"I'm coming along," Edward declares, "No," Damien argues, "This is about my fucking son, I'm coming along," Edward snarls, "Fine," Damien reluctantly agrees, "I'm coming along too," I say, "No," Damien and Edward say in unison. 

"We won't put your life in danger," Damien orders, "I'm not letting you all die. You don't know how cunning my father is. In case of an emergency, I can help!" I insist. "N-" Damien cuts Edward off, "You will be waiting in the car. I'm going to call all the other guys," Damien walks away, leaving Edward and me alone. 

"Love, You don't have to come, I will bring Luca back safe and sound," He reasons, "No," I stand my ground, "I'm coming along, whether you like it or not," Edward sighs, "Is that up for debate?" He asks. I shake my head, "Fine," He sighs, "But you will be wearing a bulletproof vest, and be carrying two guns, and a knife with you," 

I roll my eyes, "Whatever," Edward frowns, "Don't whatever me, You have to do that, or I will lock you in our room," He threatens as I scoff. "Okay, fine, chill," "Good girl," He smiles in satisfaction. 

 Mom walks in, rushing towards us, Anthony by her side. "I'm so sorry, dear," She sobs, pulling me into a hug. "It's okay, You didn't know," I mumble. We kept mom in the dark about everything. She didn't know, there was danger looming on us and Luca, otherwise she would've been more careful. I can't blame her for the mistake. 

"Madison," Anthony greets. I nod my head, "Anthony." He pats my shoulder before greeting Edward too. "My son, Alessandro, is on his way," He informs. I nod my head, "Thank you," Anthony smiles softly. 

"Can you check up on Hudson? I don't think he has eaten lunch," Mom nods, signing at Anthony, so he follows her too.
