Chapter 115

Caleb

Fuck. How? How could this have happened? I was only gone for not even an hour only to find my room instantly destroyed.

My body now numb as I continued to look around my room. My mind still racing. My once nice bed now destroyed. As if Ella had struggled with someone upon the bed and lost.

My night light now tipped over while another laid broken along the bedroom floor. Almost like someone had used it as a weapon of some kind. My thoughts soon interrupted by a thump. My ears now listening for the sound.

What the?

Curious as to what it could be do I move to follow the sound. The thumping becoming louder the closer I get. My feet quick to lead me towards a door. And not just any door but a door that led to one of our many closets.

Quick to arch an eye do I move to address the noise. “Hello? Is someone in there?” waiting for a reply, a reply I get with another thump do I move to open the door. My eyes quick to see who it was. Alanna. Quick to help do I move to work on her bindings. Alanna having been bound and gagged and basically left for dead.

My hands moving to remove the gag followed by her bindings. “Alanna, are you okay? What happened? Where’s Ella?” come my questions as I continue to help. My eyes soon noticing blood as it began to ooze from along her side.

The blood quick to soak her shirt the longer it sat untreated. Alanna hissing as she moves to speak up. “Gone. She was taken by Misha and Alexis. Nicholas’s men” explains Alanna. Her hand now moving to her side in order to stop the bleeding.

“Alanna, your bleeding. We need to get you to a doctor” I say, hoping she’d let me take her.

“No… I’m fine, really” grunts Alanna. Alanna apparently to stubborn to admit when she needed help as she slowly moves to stand. Her hand still pressed against her side.

“No your not. Now let me help you. If Ella ever found out I left you without helping she’d be devastated. For encase you’ve forgotten she really likes you. And for that we’re grateful to have you as her bodyguard.”

Sighing softly does Alanna move to agree. “Fine. But not one word of this again. I take my job very seriously. I can always be replaced, but Ella, your little star cannot. She’s one of a kind.”

“Don’t say that. Your not replaceable. If you died or never came back, Ella would be heart broken. Like I said before, Ella likes you. And for whatever that reason might be, I’d highly suggest you stay alive” is all I manage to tell her as I move to help her down the stairs. Both of us eventually reaching the main foyer. The front door wide open.

My mind now mentally cursing at how I didn’t hear anything while in the kitchen. My mind quick to remember that the rooms were all soundproof. The alarm by the door disabled meaning whoever it was knew how to disarm the door.

My hand quick to grab a set of keys as I move to help Alanna towards the car. Alanna careful when entering as she moves to slide in with a hiss. Her body in pain from having been shot at. My body quick to react as I move to rush for the driver side door before quickly climbing in as well.

My hand quick to shove in the key before turning on the car before shifting it into gear. The car now springing to life as I shift it into drive before speeding from the house. The need to get Alanna to the Hospital my main priority.

Nicholas

It’s only 12 noon when the door to my estate eventually opens. My eyes quick to see who it was as I move to stand within the entrance of my foyer. A piece of me already knowing who it was as I was the one who orchestrated the heist to begin with.

My spy, Lilianna a great help to me by keeping tabs on Ella and her obnoxious men. A smirk rising as I move to lock eyes with Misha and Alexis. Misha currently holding an unconscious Ella within his arms as I move to approach them slowly.

My hand quick to caress her cheek as I briefly move to look at Misha and Alexis. Light scratches soon adorning Misha’s face as if Ella had attempted to fight him. Alexis on the other hand fine other than a few drops of blood along his clothes.

“Did everything go according to plan?”

“Yes Boss. But it was almost destroyed all thanks to that bodyguard of hers. If she hadn’t interfered when she did we would have gotten away much sooner than we did.”

“Did you handle the problem then?”

“Yes Boss. I made sure that nobody would find her and if they did she’d most likely be dead” answers Alexis. My eyes briefly on him before shifting back to Misha.

“Good. Then take her to her room and make sure she’s tied to the bed. Don’t need her trying to escape now. I’ll be up there soon to properly welcome her into our home”

“Yes Boss”

And with that do both move to take Ella up towards her room, her room soundproof so even if she did manage to wake up nobody would hear her as she cried for help.

My feet now leading me towards my office. Quick to decide on working for a few hours as Ella slept as chloroform was highly potent when used correctly meaning that once she had gotten a whiff of that she would be out like a light for a while. Giving me the opportunity needed to work in complete silence.

~ Hospital ~

After reaching the hospital and getting Alanna eventually admitted into a room do I move to text Reece once again. The need to let him know what was going on a must.

Caleb: Hey, I finally found Alanna. She was bound and gagged within a closet. She was shot too. Had she not signaled for me to help her she would have bled to death.

Reece: What? Christ Caleb. Is she okay? Is there anything else we need to know before coming home?

Caleb: We’re at the hospital so Alanna can get checked out. And yeah, she’s fine minus the bullet wound to the side.

Reece: ……. Thanks for the heads up. Dylan, Grant and Hayden along with me are currently on the first flight home. We’ll be boarding soon, until then keep an eye on Alanna until we’re home.

Caleb: Sounds good. I’ll keep you informed if anything changes

Once done with texting Reece do I move to slip my phone back into my pocket. My mind now on Ella. Please be safe baby. Please. We couldn’t bare it if something happened to you or our little ones. Just please…. Stay strong for us, please.

A sigh soon leaving my lips as I move to wait for news on how Alanna was doing.

*Author’s Note: Dun… Dun… Dun…. She’s officially been taken. And we officially have our spy! Now the question is does anyone remember her? For she was once revealed early on within the story and hasn’t been seen since. Does anyone remember who she is?*
