150"What do you want?" She asked and Bella pointed at a path"Let's walk through that path together " Bella grinned.Natasha arched her brow at Bella's weirdness, she just did not understand what was going on, it was all getting creepier minutes by minutesShe turned to look at the path that Bella had pointed at and then she made up her mind that she is definitely not going to work at that path at all because it was all crazy and scaryIt was a tiny path that could hardly contain two people walking together , it was dark and secluded It is such a scary place to work in"You want us to go through this way?" She asked just to be sure if she heard the right thing from Bella"I believe you heard me in the first place " Bella said aggressively, expressions show just how serious she was looking It definitely showed that she was not joking and she was not ready to joke in any way"I am sorry but I can't walk that path with you" Natasha was adamant, knowing definitely well that there was s
151"Don't be scared. Very soon, everything will be okay" she assured, pating her hair gently.Tears gathered in Natasha's eyes as she just could not hold in anymore She did not understand why Bella was doing this to her Was it because she slept with Marco?She did not mean to and she already apologized but why is Bella doing this to her?Just why? It is just like she is planning to send her to an early graveThe whole situation was slowly getting messed upNow she is in a strange place she does not know where she is exactly and then Bella is acting so super creepy by telling her everything would be okay even though they both know nothing would be okay."Bella...." She called, avoiding the sour lump in her throat, trying so hard not to cry as that would only show the fear in herShe should stay strong no matter what at least for the sake of Junior, her son"Why are you doing this to me?" She asked and Bella scoffed"What did I do to you?" Bella sighed "You are the one making me a bad
152A smirk suddenly appeared on her face and then it was replaced by a glare"Hey kid" she whispered in her ear "Never in your life should you call my name again".The smile on Nadia's face suddenly disappeared and went back to the expression which showed how scared she was.Bella slowly disengage the hug and was now staring at her like she was some dirt stuck under the sole of her shoe"Aunty bella?" Nadia called again to be sure if she was with the right person However, she may be young but that does not mean her memories are easily lostIf the person she is seeing right now is Aunty Bella then it is really the Aunty Bella Bella rolled her eyes as she immediately grabbed a tape that was beside her"You little bitch!" She yelled angrily "I just told you not to call my name! Why the fuck won't you listen! Are you deaf!" She tore out of the tape and used it to cover up her mouth"Won't that hurt when you are about to remove it?" Aaron arched his brow "She is just a little girl ""Do
153As she was about to slap her again, Aaron immediately stepped Forward and grabbed her by the wrist "What are you doing?" Aaron asked "Do you want to get her killed"Bella jerked his hand off and scoffed "Do you think I care?".Aaron grabbed her wrist again and this time held it tightly so that they she would not be able to release it "Hey, I understand what you are going through right now but you have to come to your senses" he snapped at her "What If she dies? Will you take responsibility for it??""Let me go!" Bella blurted out as she tried to release her grip from Aaron's grip but he is just too strong as he has always been, it was so hard to remove her hand from his grip"If I let you go, you are going to hit her again " Aaron frowned "I won't, so let me go now" She said Even though Aaron did not believe, he still let her go in the endHe released her, hoping that she would not hit Natasha again because if she does, Natasha could actually lose her consciousness and may actu
154Where Nadia was tied up, she managed to move with all the little strength she had to Natasha's side, she thought of a way to wake Natasha up but she could not really think of anyShe is just a small child who has never had such an encounter before and she really wish she can go back home to meet her Daddy.Her mouth has been taped and her hands were tied behind her back, the only thing that was tied up in her features was her leg so she decided to use her leg to wake Natasha up.She started to use her leg to kick her but it seems the kicking was not enough as Natasha was not waking upSo she started to mumble together with the kicking Hoping Natasha would hear her This action went on for just few minutes before Natasha opened her eyes slowly and immediately looked around to see if Aaron and Bella were goneShe heaved a sigh of relief before her gaze went back to meet Nadia who was sitting on the floor, staring at her with an eyes that was literally screaming Save me."It's okay
Chapter 155Anita and Ethan's hearts pounded as they confronted Jacob about the phone found in his possession. The phone belonged to Nadia, Ethan's precious daughter who had been kidnapped days ago. Jacob's expression shifted from surprise to fear as they demanded answers from him."Why do you have Nadia's phone, Jacob?" Ethan's voice was laced with anger and desperation.Jacob stammered, trying to explain, "I-I swear, I didn't kidnap her! I don't know how her phone ended up with me, I found it near the park."Anita's eyes narrowed, suspicions rising. "You expect us to believe that? Nadia's been missing for days, and her phone mysteriously shows up with you?"Ethan's hands clenched into fists, his rage bubbling over. "Where is she, Jacob? Tell us!"At that moment, Marco, Jacob's brother, stepped forward hesitantly. "I think I know what might have happened," he said, his voice shaking.All eyes turned to Marco as he spoke. "It wasn't Jacob who took Nadia. It was Bella."Ethan's brow fu
Chapter 156The tension in the room was palpable as Jacob suggested to Marco that he should call Bella. Marco's eyes were clouded with worry, uncertainty gripping his heart at the thought of reaching out to her. However, Jacob's reassuring words urged him to take a leap of faith. "You should call her, Marco. Don't worry about what she might say. We need to find out where she is," Jacob urged, his voice laced with determination.The room seemed to pulse with an energy of its own as Jacob’s suggestion hung in the air, heavy with possibilities. Marco’s heart thudded in his chest, the weight of uncertainty settling over him like a shroud. Jacob stood by with a steadying presence, his gaze unwavering as he encouraged Marco to take the leap and contact Bella.Anita, who had been listening intently, spoke up. "We should give it a try, Marco. If Bella doesn't pick up, I can call her with my own number. She doesn't have it, so she might answer." Her suggestion brought a glimmer of hope to the
Chapter 157As the call with Bella ended abruptly, Ethan's skepticism lingered in the quiet aftermath. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss, that the suddenness of Bella's dismissal held untold secrets. Turning to Jacob, a note of disbelief colored his words. "That was too quick. Did you manage to pinpoint her location?" he inquired, his gaze searching for answers in the uncertainty that loomed over them.Jacob, consumed by the task at hand, offered a faint nod. "I'm still working on it. Let's hold on to hope. We'll find her," he reassured, his fingers flying across the keyboard in a race against time. The anticipation in the air was palpable, a sense of urgency driving their collective pursuit of Bella's whereabouts.Meanwhile, Ethan redirected his focus to Marco, the tension between them hanging heavy in the air. "Why did Bella react that way towards you?" he prodded, a thread of curiosity weaving through his words. Marco, his patience wearing thin, shot back with
Just right at the scene as they were arguing and all, Jacob was so fast in informing the cops about the whole situation He just could not stand by, watching without doing nothing Just as Marco was about to start beating Bella up, the sound of sirens was heard and Aaron immediately separated them knowing fully well that the cops were nearbyBut to their surprise, the cops were not just nearby but they were actually coming for them"Everyone, freeze! And drop your weapons!" The police in charge immediately orderedBut unfortunately for Aaron, even though he was stabbed in the hand, he was the only one holding a weapon which was a bat at the moment.And of course, he did drop it but then he was the first one the cops arrested,Jacob who called the cops immediately informed them that the one who kidnapped a little girl just like he has explained to them earlier on the phone was Bella and Aaron.After arresting Aaron, the cops also arrested Bella and they were taken away.Marco broke dow
162"Bella, I can explain. It's not really what you think" Marco gently pushed Natasha off him and tried to apologize but before he could do that, Bella punched him on the face and suddenly pounced on himPunching him and hitting him like there is no other chance for her to do that.When Aaron noticed that Bella was rather punching him too hard, he immediately walked over to where they were even though his hand was hurting like hell and he managed to separate them before Bella would actually kill Marco.He is a guy but at least everyone should agree that Bella is quite the strong femaleshe was panting heavily, trying to release herself from Aaron's grip like she has lost her mind or something but Aaron did not give up on herHe kept on holding her so tight because he knows that she could actually bite Marco ears off if they are not careful.Marco sighed as he stood up and then everyone thought he would actually go on his knees one more time like he has done before but this time, Marc
161Marco did not care what was going on between Ethan and Bella even though he saw them talking, he immediately walked over to where they were standing and immediately turned Ethan over to himself "Bella!" He called sternly.Bella turned to look at him with a frown on his face and took few steps away from him"What do you want from me?" She asked"Hey" Marco said again and sighed "What in the came over you? Why have you changed so much?" He asked and Bella scoffed"What in the world are you talking about? I have always been like this" she replied him bluntly "That is not possible, you are Bella. You don't kidnap people, especially Kids so tell me what is wrong with you" he asked with so much concern and worry"And why the fuck do you care?" Bella rolled her eyes like she was being burdened "By the way, didn't I tell you not to talk to me again? We literally have no business together anymore " she said and turned to go but Marco grabbed her back by her wrist"Stop it Bella. You can
160Both Ethan and Marco ganged up against Aaron and started to hit him so hard that Aaron pretended to have given up.They gave up on beating him and just as they were about to leave, Aaron suddenly stood up and suddenly dragged Marco back and started to hit him so hard.Ethan felt so bad for Marco for the first time He was actually dragged here in the first place and now he is the one Aaron is hitting He could not just stand there watching without doing anything so he looked around and found a piece of broken bottles on the floor.He took the bottles on the floor and suddenly stabbed Aaron with it on his arm before he would kill Marco Aaron yelled out in pain as he immediately covered the bleeding part with his palm, however he seems to be bleeding so badly but Ethan did not care a bit.He stretched his hand forward to Marco and helped him stand on his feet"Thanks man " Marco thanked him.Back to Bella and Anita, this time they were no more pulling each other's hairWhen Anita n
159On hearing voices coming out from the warehouse, they all hid as they just could not understand why voices will be heard in a warehouse.This is a company's warehouse, it is supposed to be only a building for goods so would be in there and why this time unless they are here to steal something.As they all hid behind the wall,Marco knew that he was hearing a voice which definitely sounded like Bella's "Wait a minute, that is Bella's " he arched his brow and has he tried to move forward to check if he was mistaken or not, Ethan pulled him back"Are you crazy? Where do you think you are going?" He asked but Marco jerked his hands off"Let go of me you crazy psycho. I told you several times not to do that again, don't talk to me like we are friends or like you care " He glared at Ethan"And do you think I actually give a fuck about you? I am just asking because I am so worried about the rest of us. What if you making a rash move eventually let those psychos hurt Nadia?" Ethan clenche
Chapter 158The night was dark and the warehouse loomed ominously in the distance as Jacob and his gang approached cautiously. They had tracked Bella's phone to this location and believed that she might be held captive inside. Under the cover of darkness, they found a hiding spot nearby and waited, hoping to catch a glimpse of the perpetrators or hear any clues that might lead them to Bella.Hours went by, and the silence was deafening. The only sound was the distant hum of the city and the rustling of the wind. Jacob and his friends strained their ears, trying to pick up any faint noise that could give away the location of Bella. But all they heard was the eerie quiet of the night.Suddenly, they saw a group of shadowy figures exit the warehouse and quickly disappear into the darkness. Jacob and his gang knew it was their chance to act. They split into groups and slowly made their way inside the warehouse, keeping their senses sharp and their eyes peeled for any sign of Bella.As the
