Second chance on love.

Chapter 26

~Ryan's POV~

It's already after 17:00 pm and there's no sign of Lee. I tried to call her, but her phone is here. I'm such a mess. I made a mistake and I want to apologize to her. My chauffeur didn't saw her and I'm starting to panic. What if something happened to her or she just doesn't want to see me ever again. What will I do?

As I heading home, well to her home, my phone rang. For some reason I hoped it was her name, but why on earth will it be Nikki? "Hello?" I said with confusion. "Hello, Ryan. I just want to here if Lee is okay? She didn't sound like herself, I don't want to get involved but did something happened?" I want to scream I'm so frustrated right now with myself. Knowing that I'm the cause Nikki doesn't know where her best friend is I must tell her. She's the only one that will know where Lee will be.

"Nikki, we had a fight this morning. Well, I yelled on her, because I thought that she want to... and then I called her a slut..." before I could finish my sentence she starts yelling on me. "YOU SON OF BRAT!! HOW DARE YOU CALL HER THAT!! She is one true Christian and that is not part of her values!! You disgust me, man!! That girl cares too much for you!! WAIT!! Where is she right now?!" I can hear that she's getting mad at me and I can't blame her.

"She's not home, I hoped that she would be with you," I said to her. There's silence. After a long moment of silence, she answers with concern. "No, she told me that she's going to stay at home. She felt sick. She doesn't have anyone here, so she must be at home. Did you search her room?" as I walk to her room. I open her door and as I walk inside her perfume is in the air. Then I realize that she went for a run because that's her way of coping with hurtful feelings.

"Nikki last that I could remember she went for a run and she didn't come back. I will walk and go ask around in the neighborhood. Will you ask her parents please?" she agreed and we ended the phone call. Just when I wanted to put away my phone, it rang.

It shows UNKNOWN with a concern I decided to pick it up. "Hello?" I hear someone in the background cries. My heart drops all of a sudden. "Lee? Is that you? Lee!!" suddenly a man laughs hysterical. I don't recognize this laugh. "Hello who's this?" the man stop laughing.

"Ouch! Don't you remember me brother?" the man said. Brother? I don't have a brother. Who the hell is this man? He better starts talk or I will kill him! As I get angry I speak through the speaker. "Who the hell are you? I don't have a brother!! Do you have my Lee? If you touch her I swear I will ..." he starts laughing. "What? Kill me?" he laughs again. as he laughs at me. I wave at Connor to come closer.

I put the phone on speaker so that Connor can hear. "Zayn, Zayn, Zayn or should I say, Ryan?" I still don't know who this man is. "How can I help you? If you want money just tell me how much and I will write you a check. Just tell me please how many!" he laughs again. what the hell do I look like a freakin joke?

"I want 50% of your cut and one million rands in my account by the day after tomorrow! Then I will free all five girls!!" he says with a threatening tone. Five girls? Who are the five girls? "Wait.. who are the five girls you are talking about? Is Lee one of them?"
