Once a Wife [English Version]

Chapter 38

TRISTAN just talked to Allie and left her at the table for a while. She felt a little bit under the weather because of the recent confrontation she and Cynthia just had.

She massaged her temples and just took her phone as she browsed through her email. She needed to distract herself and replying to some work-related emails might help and it did.

She replied to some when she received a photo from an unknown email address.

She clicked the attachment yet it didn't take long for her to see what it was.

It's her children... All tied and blindfolded.

Wait. This isn't a good joke. What the fuck is this? Then her phone rang, it's Raven.

"Raven!"

"Hi, Maricar..." It's not her son, "You received my message?"

"Who are you? Why do you have my son's phone?"

"Oh, calm down! We're not even starting yet,"

"What do you want and don't you dare hurt my children!" She quickly negotiated, "Please, just name your price!"

Yet the call was hung up and the lights went dark. What's happening? "Hello? Hello!"

"Maricar!" She looked around to see Tristan but he caught her first.

"My children..." She was lost for words, "They're in danger..."

"I know... We have to leave, you're not safe here..." He pulled her away and caged her inside his arms yet the emergency lights turned on.

Wait, "Dominic?" It wasn't Tristan! She was too preoccupied that she didn't even notice! "What are you doing here?" She pushed him away yet he caught her wrist.

"Icang, we have to go! We don't have much time..." He said yet even before she could take her hand, Tristan pulled him away from her and pushed him against the wall.

"Tristan!"

"I told you to stay away from her!" He's mad. Tristan is mad and he is scary when he's mad. "You bastard!"

She was about to stop them when a voice over just played. It was... it was...

"Mommy!" It's Huffle! "Papa... Help..." She's crying!

"Huffle!" She couldn't stop herself from shouting her name as if her daughter would hear her, "Princess, where are you?"

"Mommy..."

"C'mon, Puffie. Louder than that so they could hear!" A woman. It's a woman's voice!

"No, Huffle! Don't say anything ----" Someone screamed in pain. Wait, who's that? Is that Abby?

"Shut up!"

"Abby!" That's Raven! "How dare you!"

Oh, God. No... What's happening! Where are her children?!

"You want them, I know. He knows where to find me, right Dominic?" She looked at him directly with eyes pierced through, "Don't be late or you'll be too late!"

She advances at him and slapped him hard, "Where did she take my children?!" She hit him so hard it would mark, "Tell me!"

Dominic was lost for words yet his phone beeped, "Read that and tell me where are my children!" She pushed him.

He swallowed hard and read what's written, "Quezon City Warehouse---" She didn't let him finish and just rushed outside.

No one could stop her.
