âYou know herâ Nick asked.
âOf course I do, she is Isabel, Georgeâs secretary, but how did she know Freddie??? Is anyone thinking what am thinkingâ Michael asked connecting invisible dots in the air.
âMaybeâ Belle answered.
âThis is it, Isabel has been working for Frederick, when l left for Dublin, she would have gotten information about me and even George due to his ins-en-sitivity, so that was how he knew George was alive and also c@mÂŁ after me, I will so kill herâŠ.. â Michael was still saying when his tablet which has been on a table rang, Daniel had dropped it there when he c@mÂŁ in. Daniel who was standing besides the table, peered at the caller.
âRestricted callerâ Daniel said looking at Michael who walked over to him.
âBossâ Belle called, Williams turned from what he was doing to face her âb©yfriÂŁndhas a restricted caller, can it be tracked???â She said.
âWhen he picks we will checkâ Williams answerd and continued what he was doing.
âYes???â Michael said immediately he answered the call, the phone was placed on loudspeaker still on the table.
âgodfather???â Ashley said fearfully. They are looked at themselvesâŠâŠ.
Tied to a chair was Ashley Darlington who was fast asleep. Some distance away from her was Natasha smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol.
âWhen will this br@t wake up!!!â Natasha yelled. Obviously she has been waiting for hours, still Ashley hasnât woken up. After talking with Kennedy, she tracked George and knew the kids school, she was watching the three of them, She noticed that they all rarely leaves their clas-ses. Adrian was the worst among the three, even during recess, he doesnât come out, on the other hand was Alexa the oldest, she moves with her friends and they also donât come out often, lastly was Ashley, she has friends but sometimes moves alone, so that was where Natasha c@mÂŁ in, on the occasion Ashley was coming back from the restroom, she kidnapped her by pressing a cloth which contain slee-ping perfume on her nose, and since then Ashley has been asleep, She had tried to wake the little girl up but it was futile, she tied the girl up.
âIf not for that fool, we would have been together Clara and maybe we have been the ones to have this kids but you were killedâ Natasha said crying. âThey took you away from me!!!â She shouted angrily âBut donât worry love, I will avenge your death, even if it means my deathâ She said as she puffed smoke in the air.
âWhâŠâŠâŠ. WhâŠâŠ.. Where am l????â Natasha heard someone say, she turned and saw Ashley was awake alre-ady.
âLook who decided to join the p@rty, welcome slee-ping beautyâ Natasha said smiling and waging her bottle.
âWhich p@rty???? And Natasha IâŠ.. YouâŠ.. Oh! You are the cook but oh! You adopted me, plea-se donât harm me or is this another type of a gameâAshley asked looking at Natasha who by now was standing in front of Ashley.
âCâmon, I didnât adopt you,I abducted you fool, I kidnapped you and I will kill you if your Dad wonât cooperateâ Natasha said.
âKill me!!???â Ashley shouted and that got her a sl@p from Natasha.
ânee-d I tell you br@t, I hate noise especially from the person who would have been mineâ
Natasha said.
âplea-se donât harm meâAshley said crying as blood ran down herl-ip.
âWow! You have a fragile skin, well that none of my darn businessâNatasha said as she pat Ashleyâs cheek.
âWhat??? You have same tattoo has Clara, oh you must be badâAshley said, Natasha laughed.
âYou hated her right, how dare you hate her!!!â Natasha said and almost sl@pped Ashley who flin-ched. âIf you donât want violence just shut up and call your Dadâ Natasha said pointing a phone at Ashley who began to dial her Dadâs number, Natasha called but it wasnât going throu-gh. âSeems you Dad, doesnât care about you dearâ She said.
âNo, thatâs not true, he is busy, dont say that about my Dadâ Ashley said.
âOh really, the man who killed myâŠâŠ!â Natasha shouted but st©pped âjust shut up or I will kill youâ Natasha said and brou-ght out a gun which she sh0t upwards which made Ashley shout. âCall Michael and your Dad againâ Natasha said. Ashley dial their numbers but it wasnât going throu-gh.

âBaby, I know but you gotta hang on for a while am coming to get youâ Michael said.
âYou mean just like Anna did to Elsa from the ice castleâ Ashley said and Michael chuckled.
âOf course baby, of course and yeah happy birthday baby girlâ Michael said.
âOh yeah, I forgotâ Ashley said rolling her eyes.
âBabyâŠâ Michael was cut short by Natasha sharply.
âCan we cut all this $h!t, if you want you daughter alive, you have to come with Georgeâs signature and Fifty billion dollars, I will text the place and time for you to come, one minute late, I will pu-ll the trigger and donât even inform the police or any of the authorities if notâ Natasha said.
âNo, I wonât do anything, plea-se spare my baby, donât harm herâ Michael pleaded.
âI wonât if she shut up and st©p saying annoying thingsâ Natasha said.
âBaby, plea-se donât annoy her, am on my way okay, I love youâ Michael said, Ashley nodded.
âCan I at least see my godfather, it has been a while I saw himâ Ashley said trying to hide her excitement at the idea that was running in her head. âI hope godfather get thisâ Ashley thought.
âYes, plea-se let me see her and know if she is okayâ Michael said.
âFine, but donât try anything stupidâ Natasha as she put on the video mode, Ashley squealed on seeing Michael who smiled at her.
âI miss your cute face babyâ Michael said smiling at Ashley who was also smiling.
âOh! So Dublin doesnât have beautiful faces as mineâ Ashley said and Michael chuckled, Natasha was holding the phone and looking at Ashleyâs reactions to get any foul pl@ybecause she does not want her face to be seen. While Michael made sure it was only him Ashley was seeing in other not to vex the kidnapper.
âOf course not baby, just hang on, am coming to get you as your princeâ Michael said and Ashley laughed.
âOkay, godfather, am waitingâAshley said smiling while Natasha huffed.
âI was asked questions at school, I want you to answer me, so I will keep the answers with me, obviously Alexa isnât here, and yes help me greet them, Alexa and AdrianâAshley said as she took a quic-k look at Natasha.
âWhat the fu-ck!!???â Natasha said angrily.
âplea-se let her, plea-se, I will give you what you want, plea-se let her, plea-seâ Michael pleaded.
âplea-se Natasha plea-seâAshley pleaded.
âFine, whateverâ Natasha said.
In another CCTV room, Michaelâs phone was connect to Two tvs, Nick, Belle, Daniel and Williams were watching from where they couldnât be seen. When Ashley said she wanted to see Michael, they were all surprised, Michael s-en-sed something was going on in Ashleyâs head, when she said she want to ask questions, he was suspicious because Ashley never ask him about her school as-signment, if she even want too, it was on rare occasions.He looked at his colleagues and boss and back to Ashley.
âOkay, here are my questions : first, how many daughters does Cinderellaâs step mother have???â Ashley asked grinning at Michael.
âTwoâ Michael answered, but Ashley shook her head vehemently.
âIsnât it one, after the other one died and they had designs on their wrist in their left hands towards their palmâ Ashley said with a serious face.
âButâŠâ Michael was cut short by Natasha.
âYou have five minutes moreâ She said sharply.
âSecond question, do Elsa wears nÂŁÂąklace???, was it given to her by her guardian??? And what did she say after collecting it????âAshley said smiling, Michael was confused.
âBut she didnât have any guardian and I think she wears nÂŁÂąklace cause her pictures from Internet shows she wears one , butâŠâ Michael said and st©pped because he was confused.
âOoh, godfather you are so forgetful, this is what she said⊠âWow!! Thank you so much, so you will always be with me, I love it thanks alot, I love youâ and it was given to her by her beloved guardian, you forgotâ Ashley said laughing, Michael was still confused.
âStupid questions and answers, I will text the location to you, donât act funny, or I will kill herâNatasha said as she offed the video mode.
âOK, and if you hurt her more than what I saw on herl-ip, I will kill you tooâ Michael said disgusted and Natasha ended the call.
They c@mÂŁ and all stood beside the confused Michael.
âThank goodness, she is fine and nothing is wrong with herâ Belle said.
âBut she is acting strange and the answers she gave were wrongâ Michael said.
âReally!?â Nick answered.
âYes, I have virtually watched almost all cartoons she watched but this is weird because she has never been wrong in any princess cartoon except todayâ Michael said with a serious face.
âShe gave wrong answers???â Daniel asked.
âNot only wrong answers but also wrong questions tooâ Michael answered.
âWaitâŠ. But this might sound somehow, do you thing she trying to tell us somethingâ Daniel said looking at Michael.
âI think so to, because there are a lot of things confusing right nowâ Michael said as he drew out a chair and sat down.
âWhat will a five years old be saying??â Williams said amazed.
âShe is something else including her siblings, they amaze me almost every time, that I wonder if they are really kidsâMichael said.
âItâs a good thing we recorded the videoâ Belle said, as they all sat down and decided to watch it again.
âWhat!!!??? You must be crazy!â Brian shouted, he was sitting down looking at his friend Andrew in the latter office, Brian decided to visit Andy.
âYeah, I think so but that the best thing to do now, in order to get Michael and maybe Georgeâ Andy said looking at the shocked face of his friend.
âYou want all of us, who are Georgeâs enemies to come together and device a perfect plan to eliminate them???âBrian said obviously seeing no s-en-se in what is friend was saying.
âOf course, two heads are better than one they say, well in this case, many heads are better than oneâ Andy said.
âAndy, are you nuts or something, you want me to go and gather Georgeâs enemies right??? So they should kill me right??â Brian said as he glared at his friend.
âSt©p looking at me like that, do you know that this will make you all get to your goal fas-terâAndy said.
âSee I donât know whatever ru-bbish you are saying but I canât do that, do you want me dead or somethingâ Brian said.
âJust leave it to me, I know how I will go about it but I pray it worksâ Andy said.
âAnd also pray that I donât get killed or cheated because if I do, my ghost will hunt youâ Brian said while Andy chuckled.
âWell, that will be a nice because I wonât be alone right???âAndy said smiling.
âYou are a cracked headâBrian said.
âWell, birds of a feather, they say flock togetherâAndy said smiling, Brian made to punch his friend.
Michael kept watching the video again and again with the others although the others were doing one thing or the other, and also waiting for the text from the kidnapper. Michael picked his phone and called Adrian and Alexaâs room.
âHello, I wanna speak to them, yes and place it on loudspeaker tooâ Michael said rocking his chair and paused the video he has been watching over and over.
âHi godfatherâ Adrian and Alexa said together.
âHow are you????, have you guys eaten and you settledâ He asked.
âYeah, we are OK, have you heard from Ashley??â They asked.
âYeah, I haveâ Michael said and immediately the kids bec@mÂŁ curious.
âReally???, is she fine???â Alexa asked.
âYeah, she is but I wanna ask you guys somethingâ Michael asked and his colleagues looked at himâŠâŠ.
