Chapter 66: Chapter 66

TIA POV

Katie and I were both seated in the living room after making sure Mr Walton and Mike’s mom had gone to bed.

It was 7pm in the evening and Mike and Andrew were yet to arrive which is why Katie and I decided to wait for them.

I just hope they’re able to find ma’am Sarah soon. I still can’t believe Naomi can go to the length of abducting a woman who treated her like her own flesh and blood.

“It’s really getting late Tia. I’m getting worried about them. Did Andrew tell you they will be coming back?”

“He did bestie. You can go rest for a bit if you’re tired.”

“No babe, I’m fine. I’m just worried that’s all. I believe they’re on their way.” She stated as we both continued watching the soap opera.

After some couple of minutes we heard a car horn outside as we rushed out of the living room knowing it was them.

The both of them held a sad expression on their faces as they stepped out of the car with no sign of ma’am Sarah.

“Where is she?” I asked, trying not to control the tears in my eyes.

“We failed Tia. We couldn’t find her.”

“Oh God! We barely calmed uncle down, ensuring him, aunt is going to be back before he wakes up. How is he going to take the news now?” Katie uttered as I broke down in tears.

“It’s okay my love. I won’t stop trying my best to find her.” Andrew walked up to me and wrapped his arm around me as we all headed inside.

MRS WALTON POV

Susan was resting her head on my lap after telling me how bad her childhood memories were and how kids treated her badly by other kids in her school.

She really made me remember my childhood days as well. I also faced that life phrase where kids made fun of me and sometimes hit on me but my own childhood turned out to be beautiful.

That was how I found my soulmate, Richard, the new transferred student who stood up against those bullies.

That was how our love story began and it has always remained the same till this moment.

I just hope someone is going to come for us soon. I can’t imagine the condition Richard would be in. He must be worried and sick without having me right next to him.

I wish I had listened to his words, maybe all of these wouldn’t have happened.

“Do you think someone will come for us?” Susan asked unexpectedly.

“Yes, my son will definitely come for me. I know he will go to any length to find me and when he finds out Naomi is behind it, he totally won’t spare her in any way.”

“Why is she bent on ruining your family?”

“I don’t know darling but all I know she won’t succeed this time around.”

“I once heard her on a call with someone who I believe is her father. I think he’s the one making her do all of this but I’m not sure.”

“Is that so? Do you perhaps know his name or any clue who he is?”

“Well, I got curious that day and checked her room and found a family portrait of a man who looks exactly like Naomi and a man standing right next to her. Also, I found a document with her real name and that of the men from the portrait.”

“What were the names on the document?”

“Naomi was bearing Philips while the young name was Jeremy having the same surname but the older name was bearing Philips Walton which made me believe Naomi was actually family with your family.”

“I think I have heard that name before but where?” I tried to recall until the name rang a bell in my head which made me gasp in shock.

"What's wrong? Do you know him?"

"There's no doubt he's the same Philip I know and I'm not surprised he's Naomi's father."

"Who is he, aunt?"

"I thought he disappeared years ago after making a vow to ruin our family."

"Tell me how he's related to you guys, aunt."

"You won't understand Susan. We have got to get out of here by all means."

"But you know that's not possible? We have been locked up in this dark room for six hours."

"We have got to try, Susan. You don't know who that man is." I said to her as the door was pulled open with force as it appeared to be the man who knocked me out with his gun at the mall.

“I brought you guys dinner." He said in a thick voice and dropped a pizza box and two can drinks on the floor.

"Eat up before my boss joins us." He added and shut the door back.

"You're right aunt. We really need to come up with an escape plan."

THE NEXT MORNING

ANDREW POV

I got up early and left the mansion without informing anyone where I was going.

I was going to meet up with someone who will help me in finding my mom and making sure whoever is behind her disappearance gets caught.

After some couple of minutes, the driver pulled to a stop in front of my penthouse as I caught sight of the person standing outside the gate.

I stepped out of the car and ordered one of the bodyguards at the gate to let him in before making my way inside the penthouse.

"Good morning sir." He said behind me as I walked over to take a seat in the living room.

"Good morning. I hope Mr Charlie told you everything?" I inquired, referring to his boss who is the director of a special force that deals with criminals.

"Yes sir. He told me everything. Who do you suspect?"

"Good. My number one suspect is Naomi."

"No problem sir. But I'll need more information about the suspect, where she lives and everything related to her."

"That won't be a problem. I just found out she has a brother which we never knew about."

"You have nothing to be worried about sir. I'll do a background check on her."

"Okay." I responded and pulled out a bundle of money from my coat and handed it to him.

"I'll be waiting for your call." I added.

"The job will be done perfectly." He said with assurance and left.

What else did the bitch hide away from us? I really can't wait for answers to my questions.
