Somniphobia

Chapter 55. Intruder

Caleb POV
I took her out to a ice cream parlor near Central Park. We walked for hours and enjoyed our ice cream's together while talking. While on our ride back home she fell asleep, exhausted from all that walking.

Well she walked as much as she could until her little feet began to hurt and she made me carry her the rest of our walk. I didn't mind because I knew she loved being carried around.

I pulled into the garage with the car, putting it in park before I turned off the ignition. I got out the car rushing over to the passenger side so I could get her out.

I carefully picked her up from her seat, she immediately wrapped her legs and arms around me securely. I kissed her cheek lovingly as she continued sleeping while I carried her into the house.

"Sir we have some bad news." Jerry one of my loyal guards said walking towards me. "What's the issue Jerry?" I asked concerned. "There seems to be something wrong with one of the shipments that was supposed to arrive today." He explained.

"Did you guys track it down?" I asked. "Yes, it arrived just now and everything is gone." He said with a hint of hesitation in his tone. "So we were robbed." I said knowingly. "That's what it seems like sir." He confirmed.

"Let Aaron know what's going on tomorrow I want everyone at the warehouse by seven on the dot." I told him authoritatively. "Yes sir but there's one more thing." He said.

"Whoever robbed the shipment today also managed to take over a hundred thousand dollars from your account as well." He revealed to me. "Cazzo." (Fuck.) I cursed frustratedly.

"Tell Cyrus and Sage to see who the hell hacked us." I ordered demandingly. "Yes sir." He agreed and quickly walked away to do as I said.

I made my way upstairs to our bedroom so she could continue sleeping while i figured out what the hell was going on. What should have been a relaxing day is turning out into the worst day possible.

I laid her down on our bed carefully, she was in a deep sleep which I was happy about because she wouldn't wake up that easily but it also worried me about how bad her nightmares could be getting as she slept.

I covered her in the blanket, kissing her forehead lightly. I walked out the room checking my bank account to see just how much was missing from my account.

It was way more than just a hundred thousand missing from my account. There was almost half a million missing from my account. It didn't really make a difference, taking half a million was like taking ten dollars from my account.

I wouldn't be pissed off if Aria spent this money but I know she didn't do this she liked spending my money but she never wanted to spend this much money even tho I insist her to spend as much as she wants.

This was someone, someone who was dumb enough to steal from me. I'm not money hungry I'm always open to help anyone out. Whoever this was obviously thought they were smart but really they just made it way easier for me to locate them.

They were transferring my money to another account. I could just lock my account but I liked to play mind games with my victims before I hunt them down and kill them.

This was pissing me off but it's getting better only because I'm in the mood to kill someone. I sent the tracking of where my money was being transferred to Sage and Cyrus so they could get a location and hopefully catch this fool.

"D-Da-Daddy." I heard Aria cry out for me. I put my phone in my pocket and quickly walked into the room. She reached for me with her hands while whining sleepily. I laid beside her on the bed, pulling her into my arms.

She snuggled her face into my chest while I made sure the blanket was covering her and keeping her warm. I kissed her head gently while brushing my fingers through her hair soothingly.
