EVENING

I started the car quic-kly from my hide out and trail behind them. Minutes later they halted at a mansion. I looked closely as they got down with intertwined hands.
I sighted an elderly woman coming out of the house. My target, Ella Smith embr@ces the woman with a smile.
“Who’s that woman.?” I uttered suspiciously. Have gat to find who she is.

Ella
~
I placed a call to mom that I and Henry are on our way to visit her. She sounded surprised Henry is driving me to her house. Yeah she should be cause Henry has turned a new leaf.
After forty minutes of driving, we reached mom’s resident; it’s a duplex which looks amazing all thanks to Henry’s parents.
Henry held my hand as we got out of his car, I blu-shed ha-rd recalling the times he held my hand when he was still mean.
“Ella….” Mom called walking towards us.
“Mom!.” I said as henry left my hand so I can hvg mom.
” I missed you a lot.” She says with teary eyes. Oh mom…always emotional.
“Missed you too.” I said as we both dis£ngage. She turned to face Henry who was watching us.
“Young…..” She got interrupted by Henry. She wanted to say young master.
“It’s Henry ma’am.”
Mom stared at him then at me perplexed. I nod at her smiling.
“plea-se come in..”
*****
“Ella what’s happening?.” Mom questions. She asked me in as-sisting her in the kitchen, I know she has a lot to interrogate me.
“Don’t get you mom.”
“Why would young master bring you here? The last time I checked only his parents treated us nicely.” She tells.
I sighed.” Mom he’s now a changed person.” I exclaimed.
Mom wowed. “That’s amazing.” I nod a yes.
“Hope all is well with everyone? I mean his parents. It’s been a while you know.”
I paused thinking about Mr Williams.
“They are fine I guess..”
“You guess? Why?.”
“There was a time Mr Williams looked extremely sad. He explained he missed his late friend Smith. He kind of had a grey wristband.” I said. Mom pays full attention and flin-ch at the mention of ‘Smith’.
“What’s wrong?.” I asked
“You said smith?.” She retorts as I nod.
“Yeah. I think have seen that wristband before, I just can’t recall where.” I said tiredly.
“Really?.” She inquire dropping what she’s doing and moves close to where I sat.
“Yeah mom.”
“Forget it ok? Now let’s inform my in-law dinner is re-ady.” She says with a grin.
“Huh!?.”
“Seriously Ella! Am your mom. I saw the way you two stared at each other so do you have feelings for him?.” She looks intensely at me.
I took myl-ips in shyly and nod. “He confessed to me this morning. I love him mom.”
She smiled and hvg me ti-ght. “Am happy for you dear.” She whispers.

Robert
After hours of waiting, I almost got fed up but sat properly immediately I sight them moving out of the house. The elderly woman waved at them happily, I had to drive a little closer to them in order to listen to their conversation.
“Bye Ella. Love you!.” The woman said.
“Bye mom.”
“Thanks for the meal ma’am.” Henry says giving the woman a quic-k hvg.
“No problem dear. Take good care of Ella.”
The guy nods as he and Ella entered the car zooming off.
Interesting……..so that woman is Ella’s mom. I unplug the charger on my phone and put a call to ma’am Clara. She picks up instantly.
?Yeah?.”
?She has a mother.”
?Good. Abduct her then leave the rest to me.”
?Okay ma’am.”

Mrs Rachael

I went inside and closed the door. Am so happy for my daughter Ella, I can’t believe Henry felled for her…..
I wish Smith was here to see how grown up our daughter is. I thought of what Ella said: * I think I’ve seen that wristband before but can’t recall where*
Smith….. Why do I feel it’s my late husband Mr Williams told Ella about.
“It can’t be him ….” I shrugged
I heard a knock on my door. Did Ella forgot anything?? I stood up and opened the door. It’s a strange guy in dre-adlocks
“How can I help you?.” I asked.
He didn’t respond. I wanted to close back my door but he st©pped it with his leg and brou-ght out a gun.
My heart raced as I watched him bring out an hanky which he placed on my nose.
I felt unconscious as my vision bec@m£ blur…..

Sophie
~
I really think mom is hiding something from me. She has been acting weird ever since I found that pic in her room. Any time I tried asking about my dear cousin Clara, she always brings up another t©pic. Its either she’s tired or pays no attention….
I held on to the things I bought from the grocery sto-re properly, trekking since I have no money left to board a cab.
I chuckled as I walked on the other side of the road, there’s a traffic jam. Good thing I didn’t board a cab.
My smile faded when I sp©tted someone familiar in a car. I got curious and walked slowly so I can see the person properly in the vehicle.
I almost screamed. It’s Ella’s mom, her face could be seen throu-gh the window back seat. She’s asleep?
The car doesn’t look like a cab and the driver……he isn’t a cab man?. Oh no! Does it mean she has been abducted?!
I di-pped my hand into the pocket of my jean p@n-t and bring out my phone. Dialed Ella’s number hurriedly as the traffic light turned green. The car began zooming off with speed.
“Pick up Ella!!.”

Henry and i are still on our way home. “Thank you.” I said to him whose attention is fixed on the road. He glanced at me and face the road.
“You……..” My phone rang cutting him short.
I picked it happily since it’s Sophie.
? Hey Soph…”
?Ella….. Your mom! I saw your mom!.” She said p@n-ting heavily.”
?Common Sophie…! What are you talking about? I just visited mom so where could you possibly get to see her? You don’t even know where she lives.” I joked.
? Am serious Ella! She has been abducted. She was unconscious in a strange vehicle.”
Huh!? Abducted?? How!
?Hello? Ella?.” I didn’t respond due to the shock in me. Henry noticed my reaction and parked properly. He gr@bb£d my phone from me.
?Sophie calm down…. Now tell me do you possibly know the path the car pas-sed.?” Henry asks.
?uhm not sure.” Sophie says.
“Dang it! Henry cursed .
?I think…….hey let go of me!!!.”
We heard Sophie scream, she couldn’t complete her statement. What’s going on???
?Sophie?? Hello??.” Henry calls but no one replied.
h0t tears rolled down my cheeks. What on earth is wrong with Sophie and mom!!?
“What is happening Henry?.” I cried unable to control my tears.
Henry held my hands and hvgged me ti-ght. “Nothing is gonna happen to them ok? Let’s inform the corps right away.”
I nod in tears. “I promise they’ll be fine.” He said pe-cking myl-ips.

Clara
After Robert informed me about the abduction of that bit-ch’s mom, I decided to drive to the place he texted me he’s taking her. I sighted a familiar lady ma-king a call, its the same lady I splashed water on with her wretched mom.
She seems frightened as she speaks to the person on the phone.
something isn’t right…
“Drive close to that lady.” I said to my driver. He nods and parked next to her. She didn’t notice cause of the tinted glas-s windows.
“Am serious Ella! She has been abducted, she was unconscious in a strange vehicle.” The lady says.
Ella?? That means this slut knows Ella and she saw Roger with her mom…..there’s only one thing to do!
“Dave….” I called my driver.
“Yes ma’am?.”
“Inject that lady with this and bring her in.” I said handling him a syringe.
He nods and went out of the car….
Nothing is gonna st©p me from carrying on with my plans…..

Henry
~
I held Ella’s hand firmly, she’s been crying her eyes out. I informed mom and dad about what happened. They made sure the corps are on it. I feel terrible seeing Ella like this. It really saddens me.
“I want you to search every place for them!.” I said to one of the corps who held a pen and a notebook putting down every details about Ella’s mum and Sophie.
“When last did you hear from them?.” The corp man asked Ella. She sniffed drying off her tears. “Two hours ago.” She replies. Gosh, her eyes are puffy.
“Its gonna be fine babe.” I cooed bringing her close to my che-st. My phone buzzed from my pocket which made us dis£ngage.
I gave her a quic-k pe-ck on herl-ips and walked three meters away to answer the call. Its from an unknown number.
? Yeah.?” I said
? Well good day Clark.” The strangers says. Its a lady voice, sounds familiar.
?Who are you?.”
?Guess baby…..”
?Clara!! What do you want!? Look am not in good terms to listen to whatever $h!t you have to say, okay!?. Am busy!.”
She laughed devilishly and hisses. “Oh Henry…I only want a request from you…..”
?So?!.” I said cutting her off.
?Yeah… I have with me your beloved girlfriend’s mom and her dumb friend.”
?Wtf! Don’t you dare hurt them!.” I snarled. Ella noticed my reaction and moves closer to me confusedly.
?What do you want bit-ch?.” I asked impatiently.
?They will be safe on one condition.” She retorts.
? Which is?.”
?You’ll be mine.”
? Over my dead b©dy…” I scoffed angrily.
?Nice! I give you less than just an hour. Involve the corps about this and get to meet their dead bodies.” She says hanging up.
“Henry are you okay?.” Ella asks.
“It was my ex Clara.” I said. I don’t want her to be worried.
I wonder what’s Clara problem with me anyways. She has really gone too far.
“Hey.” I called a corp in duty.
“Yes Mr Henry.?”
“I want you tofu-cking track this god damned number on my phone.” I said showing him the number.
“Does it has to do with the victims who were abducted?.” He asks as I nod in response.
“Alright sir. We’ll do as you say.” He says and walked to his other colleagues.
I turned to Ella giving her an as-suring smile.

Sophie
~
I opened my eyes tiredly as I tried standing up but couldn’t when I realize I have been tied up to a chair. Where’s this place?? It looks like an abandoned building.
I g@sped on seeing Mrs Rachael beside me, she’s on the floor also tied up. She’s still unconscious.
“Mrs Rachael….wake up! Wake up!.” I whispered.
After severe times of calling her, she opens her eyes slowly. Her eyes wi-den as she sights me, she looks around then back at me surprised.
“Sophie? What are we doing here? And why are we tied up?.” She g@sps.
“We’ve been kidnapped.” I said in a low voice. She was about to speak when the devil I met hours ago cat walked to us.
“If this isn’t the bit-ch’s mom.” She says glaring at Mrs Rachael.
“Watch your mouth you who-re! Don’t you dare call my friend names!.” I barked as my blood boiled with range.
She laughed and moved closer to me. ” The last time I checked you were that filthy lady I splashed water on. Huh?.” She mocks.
“fuc-k you!.” I cursed.
She hits my face ha-rd and brings out a gun. She points it on my head as my heart raced with fear.
“One more word from you, I’ll b!ow your br@ins out bit-ch!.”she says.
I swallowed to nothing keeping mute.
“Why are we here?.” Mrs Rachael asked.
“You!. Shut thefu-ck up!.” She yelled at her. So rude..
“Robert!.” She calls. The same guy with dre-adlocks c@m£ in and stood beside her.
“Yes ma’am Clara?.”
“Shut them up.” She commands and walked out. The guy brou-ght out two handkies and tied it f0rç£fully on our mouth.
Clara….that name…

Where the h*ll is Sophie? She ought to be back from where I s£nt her. Am so worried about her. Hope she hasn’t gone to search for her “cousin” who is her sister. Gosh! I really nee-d to tell her everything
A knock on the door brou-ght me to reality. Finally! That should be her. I stood up to open it. My heart raced to see Ella and a guy standing on my door step.
“Ella?. What are you doing here? Were you crying?.”
“Uhm can we come in?.” She says. She isn’t answering my question.
“You’re scaring me! What’s wrong with you?.”
The guy sigh and faces me. “Sophie and her mom has been kidnapped. And…..”
“What!!!.” I screamed cutting him short.
“We’ve involved the corps.”He says.
“I’ll come with you.” I said in tears.

Henry

Sophie’s mom followed us to the corps station, she has been pacing around.
I dialed Clara’s number placing it in loud speaker so the corps can trace her hideout.
“”Hello…” I said exhaling de-eply. Can’t believe am about to say this.
?Yeah? Made up your mind?.”
?Yeah. Let’s be together. Just let them go.”
?Cool. I’ll text you the address. Come alone.” She says hanging up.
My phone buzzed. She texted the location: *The building beside old Franklin hill*
“We’ve tracked her!.” One of the corps says with excitement.
“Really??” Sophie’s mom and Ella says simultaneously.
“That’s good. Am driving to the place she texted me. I want you to trail behind my car so you could arrest her.” I said
“Henry…. I’ll come with you plea-se.” Ella says.
“No. I don’t want you to be endangered. Stay here with your friend’s mom. I’ll be back soon with them I promise.”
She smiled with tears and k!$$£d me de-eply………….I wasn’t expecting that but reciprocate. She withdrew and hvg me.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”

“I’ve got to go.” I said dis£ngaging from the hvg. She nods in return and moves to Sophie’s mom who has been weeping.
“Let’s move.” I said to inspector Simon as I held my car key and went outside for my car.
Minutes later….
I exhale de-eply driving close to the old abandoned building. My phone beeped, its a text from inspector Simon: * We are right behind you. Everything is un-der control Mr Henry*
I smiled di-pping my phone into my blazer pocket and get out of the car. Where is she? Can’t seem to find her or anyone here.
“You made it.” A voice proclaims behind me. I turned around to see her sm-irking at me. She bit herl-ips s£dûçt!velycat walking towards me.
Seriously this bit-ch nee-ds a thera-pist, I fought the urge in rolling my eyes and f0rç£d a smile.
“Am here. So where are they?.” I asked trying my best to sound patient. Three men with guns surrounded me.fu-ck!
“Not so fast Henry. Time for the deal.” She says cunningly. What the heck??
“Huh?.”
“We are getting married.” She speaks out of the blue moon smiling devilishly.
“Robert!!.”
A guy c@m£ in with Sophie and Ella’s mom holding a pistol in his left hand.
“It’s your choice…. It’s either we get married or I shoot your girlfriend’s mom.” She tells.
The guy held Mrs Rachael by the n£¢k and points the gun on her forehead. Mrs Rachael looked at me shaking her head sideways trying to speak but couldn’t due to the clothe tied on her mouth.
“Why are you doing this Clara?.” I asked defeated. She frowns and moved a little bit close to me. She look directly into my eyes. “You…..! Because of you. I love you Henr….”
“And you think am gonna love you back by going too far?.” I interrupt.
“Don’t give afu-ck Henry. We get married or she dies!.” She brings out a pistol from her jacket and points it at Mrs Rachael.
I looked at Sophie who nods in disagreement. Am so frustrated and confuse right now. I can’t betray Ella and get married to this psycho, Clara. At the same time, I promised Ella her mom isn’t gonna get hurt.
I pushed my dirty blonde hair backwards and swallowed to nothing.
“Fine. We are…….”
“Freeze! Put down your weapons.!” Finally the corps are here just in time. I quic-kly went over to untie Sophie and Ella’s mom.
“Put your gun down miss.!” Inspector Simon says to Clara who looks shocked. She bit herl-ips in range and slowly placed her gun on the ground so as her men.

???? Police Station????
Sophie
~
I can’t believe that lady named Clara could stoop low in abducting Ella’s mom just because she wants to be with Henry. So pathetic.
I was so glad when the corps showed up in time, I really wasn’t expecting Henry to bring the corps with him…..
“This isn’t over Ella Smith! I may be arrested but you’re gonna get what’s coming to you. Trust me.” Clara scorned as she’s being handcuffed.
“plea-se take her away.” Ella says.
A man in his early sixties rushed towards us, he looks wealthy in his appearance. He held a disappointed look as he approached Clara.
“what happened Clara?.” He asked confused.
Just then mom walks in and hvgs me happily, she looks worried. Poor mom! Her hvge grin disappeared when she sights the man with Clara.
“Sam?..” Mom calls facing the man.
“Grande?.” The man says dropping his car key on the floor unintentionally. Mom bur-st in tears as she keeps staring at the man. What’s going on??
“Dad do you know her?.” Clara asks.
“Yeah mom. Do you two know each other and who is Grande??.” I questioned tapping mom by her shoulder.
“He….he.. Am sorry Sophie.” She apologizes.
“Why are you sorry? What on earth is going on mom?!.”
“He’s your father.” She said referring to the man standing beside Clara. He somehow froze on his sp©t, his eyes wi-dens with his mouth agape.
“Whhhhhhhhaaat?…” I and Clara screamed in unison.
Everyone looked at each other then at I and Clara. My heart raced……so I have a dad.
“She…. She’s my sister?.” Clara stammer as tears gathered on her eyes.
The man sighed. “Yes.” He took his steps slowly to I and mom and smiled with tears on his cheeks.
“Grande! My sweetheart. I have missed you and our daughter. Am so sorry for all my wrong deed. plea-se forgive me.” He pleads.
“After all this years Sam….you didn’t bother about I and Sophie.” Mom exclaimed.
“Am sorry… Forgive me plea-se.”
So Clara Grande is my biological sister. She’s the one in the picture!

I stood perplexed with my hands still in handcuffs. An unexpected tear flew freely down my left cheek. She’s my mom…and Sophie’s my sister.
what have I done?. I have a sister??. I kidnapped my biological sister?! I fell on my kneels and bur-st into real tears this time.
“Dad you lied. Why??.” I yelled as my voice cracks.
“Am sorry.”
“Sorry??? I almost got my sister killed! Why dad??!”
“Am de-eply sorry princess. Am sorry.” He bent down close to me in tears.
What have I done!!.

Weeks after Sophie and Clara got to know about nothing but the truth, they had no option but to reconcile.
Clara wasn’t her self anymore, she felt guilty and changed her bad attitudes. She apologized to Sophie and EVERYONE including Ella. Yeah you heard me Ella Smith.
Mrs Rachael got to find out Mr Williams late friend is her husband and father to Ella. Although there was an emotional scene. The Wlliams family were happy to welcome them as p@rt of the family.
On the bright side,,, Henry and Ella love story grew stronger…

TWO YEARS LATER.

“Will you take Bella as your wife in health and in sickness, in wealth and in affliction……”
“Yes I do plea-se.” Henry interrupts.
“You may now k!ssthe brid?.” He re-moved my veil and k!$$£d me. He spent like almost forty minutes still devouring myl-ips but st©pped when the priest clears his throat.
I smiled as I stared at mom, my in-laws, Sophie’s family and everyone. Can’t believe I got married to MY CUTE CRUSH
It’s a dream come true✨✨…….
THE END….
