Kidnap Book One, Kidnapped By Mistake

Twist of Fate

Antonio's Point Of View

I am consumed by a raging fury at this moment; the mere thought of Manolo's sinister plan to abduct my daughter sent shivers down my spine. I found out from one of my spies that Manolo plans to abduct my Scarlett, just to seek revenge on me.

Memories of my wife's tragic demise resurfaced, fueling the flames of vengeance that burned within me. He was the reason for the death of my beloved wife. I vowed to protect Scarlett at all costs, refusing to let this history repeat itself. As the storm brews on the horizon of our fates, I will not allow him to use Scarlett as a weapon against me in the ongoing feud between us.

Had he opted for my organization instead of aligning with the futile law enforcers whom I merely play with in my hands and manipulate at will, we wouldn't be entangled in this situation. His choice to join those lacking value and purpose has led us down this path of conflict and turmoil, where power struggles and manipulation reign supreme.

In his misguided belief, he thought he could ensnare me within the grasp of his hands. Upon discovering his sinister plans involving my daughter Scarlett, I swiftly mobilized my most skilled men to thwart his scheme. Victory will elude him this time, as I will make sure he won't succeed against me, and I'll be the one laughing in the end.

Charlie's Point of view 

I found myself trapped in the sea of honking cars, surrounded by the chaos of rush hour traffic. As I navigated through the bustling streets towards my destination, an unexpected accident brought everything to a halt. Determined to reach my target spot promptly, I swiftly searched for an alternate route. With a stroke of luck, I discovered a shortcut that led me straight to the location where I would abduct Scarlett. Glancing at my watch and noticing that I was running a bit late, I accelerated my vehicle to quickly reach the target place where I would abduct Scarlett.

Soon thereafter, I arrived at the designated spot. I parked my car near a restaurant where I would abduct Scarlett and carefully surveyed the entire area. There were hardly any vehicles in that area. The area was tranquil, with minimal traffic passing through. It was still slightly dark there. Only the lights on the posts provided a subtle ambiance and illumination in the area.

Stephanie's Point of view 

I awoke to a gentle cascade of taps and calls from Alesia. With deliberate slowness, I unveiled my eyes to behold the enamoured couple, Joseph and Alesia, grinning warmly at me. Swiftly, I rose from my reclined position, taming my tousled locks that had been disarrayed from resting. Retrieving a hint of fragrance from within my bag, I delicately misted it upon myself. Just as promptly, I returned the perfume to its place inside my bag. Peering outside, my gaze fell upon a dining establishment not far from where we were.

"We're here, right?" I queried. 

They just looked at me, and Alesia's smile, a radiant beam of excitement, seemed to outshine my own.  

"Yeah," Alesia replied enthusiastically.

"Do you like the place, Stephanie?" Joseph queried, waiting for my reaction. A smile played on my lips as I spoke.

"Yeah," I replied curtly.

"I'll be going now. Thank you for the ride, Joseph," I said briefly. Joseph simply returned my smile.

"And for this unexpected date, Alesia." I turned my attention to Alesia and rolled my eyes at her.

Alesia's mischievous grin was all the reply I got before she chirped, "Honey, don't forget, spill the tea tomorrow."

I shook my head, chuckling at her antics.

Stepping out of the car, I started walking towards the restaurant, the dim streetlights casting long shadows around me. Just as I was about to reach the entrance, my phone chimed.

 "Alesia..." I muttered under my breath, taking a deep breath before pulling my phone out of my bag. I glanced back, expecting to see Joseph's car, but it was no longer there.

Charlie's Point of View

As I sat quietly in the front seat of my car, a silent predator in the shadows, my eyes surveyed the entire area. Finally, I spotted my target, Scarlett, completely oblivious, her attention glued to her phone. I snagged the full face mask I'd been clutching and pulled it on, a silent promise of anonymity. 

Slipping out of the car, I moved like a ghost towards my target, the dim streetlights casting long, distorted shadows. The restaurant's warm glow was a distant beacon, leaving Scarlett bathed in a near-darkness that was perfect for my plan. The night was mine, and I was ready to strike.

Mateo's Point Of View

Charlie was a predictable target, a pawn in my game. I had no trouble following him. I tracked him with ease, even when he veered off course after that highway pileup. I carefully trailed him even when he changed routes due to the accident that happened earlier on the highway.
 
He finally pulled over, and I knew my moment was near. After a while, I noticed that his car came to a stop, and shortly after, he emerged from it.
 
I quickly took action and got out of my car as well. After that, I cautiously followed him, carrying a metal object that I would use against him.
 
I was a shadow in the fading light, the metal bar in my hand a silent promise.
 
But as I closed in, something was wrong. The woman besides him wasn't Scarlett. As I approached his location, I noticed that the woman he was with, who had been standing nearby just moments ago, had lost consciousness.
 
There was a twist in the plan, but I wouldn't let it derail me.
 
He was too absorbed in his thoughts to notice me; he was too focused on the woman. I struck the back of his neck with the long metal object I was holding. He crumpled.
 
I quickly transported Charlie and the unidentified woman into my car, securing their mouths and limbs.
 
After that, I swiftly started the engine of my car. The engine roared, I drove away, and I left the place before anyone could notice what had happened.
