Ocean’s apartment ***
Ocean ate a bit though she had to be forced,Vikita was still in the house, Ophelia was taking her medicines, this wasn’t the time for her to fall ill.
Ocean sat down, just waiting for the police to arrive with some information.
Den left a few minutes ago to attend to some personal stuff.
Vikita’s phone rang, everyone in the sitting room turned to her, especially the officers.
“It’s my daughter” Vikita said, noticing the attention.
she answered the call.
“Rosa what is it?” Vikita asked.
“Mom…” Rosa cried over the phone.
“Why are you crying?” Vikita asked but she didn’t stop whimpering.
“We can’t find Nikita anymore” Rosa sobbed, Vikita didn’t get a word she said.
“I don’t understand you at all, slow down” Vikita yelled feeling worried.
“Nikita has been kidnapped,” Rosa yelled, dropping the bombshell.
“What?!!!” Vikita screamed, Ocean and Ophelia sprang up.
“Nikita has been kidnapped” Vikita said as tears filled her eyes.
“How?, When?, I want to die” Ophelia cried touching her chest.
Detective Raphael entered almost immediately along with other officers.
Ocean faced him.
“Where’s Rhett?” Ocean asked with a glint of hope in her eyes.
“We are sorry we got there too late, we lost them, they relocated from the place, we don’t have any means of finding…”
Before he could finish speaking, Ocean fainted and almost landed on the floor of not for one of the officers that rushed to her.
“Ocean” Quincy yelled as she stepped out of the kitchen to Ocean pass out.
“Ocean, Ocean” Vikita gasped loudly.
“Ocean” Ophelia shook her head in tears.
She felt dizzy immediately.
“My head” She yelped…
(One week later).
Nikita was still missing along with Rhett and Marcello; they haven’t been found since they lost track of their location.
Ocean sat in her bedroom crying her eyes out, she placed her hand on her baby bump all through.
“You are supposed to be here with me,where are you Rhett?” She sobbed.
“Please come back” She cried harder.
“I can’t do this alone, I can’t live without you” She cried loudly.
Her phone rang, she wasted no time in sitting up and answering the call.
“Hello” Ocean said with her heart beating fast, she didn’t even look at her screen to check who was calling.
“Are you Ocean Rolland?” He asked.
“Yes,” She nodded while answering.
“I know where your husband, his brother and the little girl are. ” He said and she smiled nervously.
“Wh..Where?” Ocean asked, it felt like her soul found sudden peace.
“Send me half a million dollars, then you can see them ” He said and she gasped.
“Half a million”
“Get it or they will end up dead” He said and she nodded.
“Ok…ay.. I will send it” She took a deep breath.
“But how do I know this is… is not a trap?” She asked.
“Well, my boss betrayed me, I heard him making plans to make his daughter his successor” Fernando yelled.
“Which daughter?” Ocean asked confusedly.
“That little girl,” He yelled impatiently.
“Nikita,” She said.
“Yes that’s her name, he was talking to the little scared thing and said he was going to make her his successor and he didn’t seem like was joking, I need to be rich too and start my own clan” He explained and Ocean was shocked.
How could Tyson be Nikita’s father?
“Are you bringing the money?”He asked.
” Yes ”
“I will send you a location” He said and hung up.
Detective Raphael barged in.
“Did you get the location?” She asked with a smile.
“Yes we did,” He replied.
She sniffed and wiped her tears.
Six hours later.
****
Bisley Area ***
“Be Careful as you go in,” Detective Raphael said and she smiled.
She took a deep breath, held her baby bump and came out of the car, she was actually listening to him from the bush they hid in.
She came out and walked to the uncompleted building, she entered with shaky feet.
“Anyone here?” She asked, dragging the heavy bag of money.
“Is the money with you?” Fernando asked and she turned with a frightened look on her face.
“Y… yes” She said shakily, he grabbed the bag from her. He unzipped it and checked.He grinned when he saw the money.
He brought out a bundle of the money and checked if it was real or not.
“How did you get it cashed so fast?” He asked doubtfully.
“That’s not none of your business,” She snapped.
“You have a loud mouth you know” He snapped back.
“I’m sorry, I really need to see my husband, I beg you, you can see my condition, please pity me”She said and sighed heavily.
“Follow me, it’s just the next house, that’s where they are, the boss isn’t around,I can help them escape but since you are eager to see him then why not” He said and she smiled.
They left the uncompleted building, they passed through the back door and no other thug spotted them.
They walked into the room, she was stunned to see Nikita tied to a chair, her mouth was gagged, Rhett looking tattered and weak, Marcello was beside him but he looked much better than Rhett.
Ocean’s heart sank to see Rhett in such a state.
Marcello looked up to see her, his eyes widened.
“Ocean!” He muttered audibly.
Ocean rushed to them.
“Marcello,” Ocean whispered.
“You are here” He smiled.
“Untie me” He said and she nodded.
She quickly untied him, Fernando stood close to the back door.
Marcello was free, he lost his legs himself and went to Nikita who was sobbing silently.
Ocean bent down in front of Rhett, he was unconscious, his body stinks with blood, his face stained bruised, his leg bandaged, the bandaged was soaked with blood.
“Bunny, Rhett” Ocean said in tears, she talked about his cheeks..
After a few seconds, he opened his eyes slowly.
“Rhett” She muttered.
His vision was blurry but it cleared, he thought he was dreaming when he saw her face.
“Be…lla” He muttered and she hugged him a bit.
“You are awake” She smiled and held his face, she missed him so much.
“I don’t have all day,” Fernando yelled.
Marcello hugged Nikita tightly before walking to Rhett and helping Ocean untie him.
They were given a bit of food to keep them alive, so they had a bit of energy.
Marcello helped Rhett to stand. He hugged Ocean.
“I thought I would never see you again” She sobbed .
Marcello helped Rhett walk towards the door while Ocean held Nikita’s wrist, they were about to follow.
The front door bursted open and behold, it was Tyson.
Ocean was shocked,Tyson was stunned, Fernando made an attempt to escape through the back door but Tyson was so quick to shoot, the bullet flew past Rhett and Marcello and dived into Fernando’s arm.
“Ahhh” Nikita screamed in horror and ran to hug Ocean.
Tyson walked in and shut the door.
Marcello and Rhett dared not move.
“Any one moves and I blow their brains out” His voice echoed around the room.
He pointed the gun at each of them, tears trickled down Ocean’s cheeks.
Seeing the man that ruined her life, she wants to kill him but she can’t, she’s helpless.
“Tyson.What do you want?please let us go” Ocean sobbed.
“Shut up!!!”
“That bastard betrayed me but you think I will let you go” Tyson sneered and pointed the gun dangerously at them, he moved to Ocean’s side and she shivered.
Fernando groaned on low voice, he turned a bit to see Tyson, he struggled to bring out his gun with his other hand.
Which of them should I kill first!!” Tyson yelled, making Ocean shiver.
“Which one of your lovers should I kill first, you have 10 seconds!! ” Tyson yelled pointing a gun at both men.
“Tick tock 10, 9,8….” Tyson yelled.
Ocean opened her mouth to speak…
“You will be caught” She sobbed, Nikita hugged tightly to her legs.
Rhett could hardly speak or stand on his own.
He was spacing out.
“Caught ” He laughed and pointed the gun at her.
“Police are around the area, you can’t escape, give it up, Tyson” Ocean said and raised up her hands.
Tyson grinned.
“Let’s make this a telenovela” He smiled and brought out a button from his pocket.
“This is for a bomb” He said and Ocean flinched in fear, she shifted away from him along with Nikita.
Marcello was stunned, he wanted to move but Tyson pointed the gun at Nikita.
“Since I’m going to be caught, why don’t we all die?” He laughed like a psychopath.
“At the count of three…”
“Tyson don’t do this, Nikita is your daughter, you are my master right, don’t do this” Ocean cried out trying to buy time.
“Tyson, don’t do this” Marcello pleaded, he was going to die and so were those he loved and he can’t even do anything about it.
“She’s your daughter!!”
“I don’t care anymore,” He yelled, still holding his gun tight.
“Three, two…” He said with finger getting closer to the red button..
“One… Meet me in hell Arabella”
