SINCEREST [Part 2]

18

It was a cloudy day which already triggered my postpartum depression somehow, I already wanted to go back to home for some unknown reason once again. "Strange" I frowned upon my phone screen on Alex's text, we never went to that coffee place before but Alex is all about trying different things, maybe she's giving this place a shot, after all its a girls day out. When my car reached the parking lot of the coffee place I peeked outside to take a look of the place, it was a good place, there were only a few cars in the parking lot and then I spotted Alex's tesla, but to my surprise there was James on the driving seat. Bob opened the door for me and I stepped outside

"you'll come inside with me" I nodded and he mumbled 'yes mam', I waved at James who was already looking at me he waved in answer and I walked towards him, he tried to engage me in gossips and in that moment I realized he was not the old James, always teasing everyone always joking around, he couldn't get back to normal after what happened, I felt sorry for him. He said Alex is in the store next door buying chocolates for me, which is oddly strange for Alex, she always comes prepared she never leaves any task on last minute deadline, maybe she got busy, she's not herself nowadays, always dizzy. What if she's pregnant, and she wants to give me surprise today, thats why James is here too.

We were walking towards the store James was walking along with me he opened the door for me before Bob could, my phone buzzed in my pocket it was harry

"are kids up? Are they cranky?" I asked before he could even say anything

"yes they're up, they aren't cranky, uh it just I can't operate the bottle warmer, what should I do?" Harry asked and my heart just sunk, what If it doesnt works?

"do you want me to come home now?" I asked hurriedly, confused in my steps I didn't know where I was walking, James steered me towards an aisle and the signals were dropping I covered my one ear and I stopped in midway

"thanks James" I whispered

"no no! its okay, I guess I got it how it works, and also Hoor is here now, she would help me, and James is there too?" Harry said, and it didn't sound like a story, I really heard Hoor talking to the babies behind

"yeah! He's here too, are you sure honey? I can come home if you want me to" I asked worriedly

"you don't have to, just enjoy your day out, love you bye" Harry said

"love you too, goodbye" I smiled, I felt a tap on my shoulder from behind me and when I turned around there was a monitor screen on my face and I thought its just some paparazzi, I startle at first but I stepped back to see clearly at the screen, and when I saw it was Rayyan who was holding the phone on my face, my soul left the body at the moment, my breath hitched in my throat and I stepped back hurriedly only hitting my back on the pillar

"Shhhh! Baby girl, just watch what I'm showing you" Rayyan whispered and I was shivering badly my whole body was filled with terror, I looked on the screen and I saw a very familiar balcony, I recognized it was my room, the screen moved towards Harry and kids, I saw hoor and harry playing with the kids, not aware of their surroundings and the person who was holding the camera showed another person who was standing outside in the balcony with the Gun, I whimpered and Rayyan placed a finger on my lips to sush me

"if your body guard knows I'm here, your family, they're dead" His eyeballs were darting in my face

"what do you want Rayyan?" my eyes filled with tears, I was clutching my phone near my chest, still shivering with fear

"now we're talking" he smiled evilly, "all I want is for you to come with me, silently" he slowly snatched my phone away from me, and I whimpered again, he darted his eyes at me again to frighten me

"okay?" he asked showing the screen once again, I looked towards the other aisles, and I saw Bobs bald head shinning three aisles apart, he was far enough to reach out for me and with one click on Rayyan's phone my family was dead, I had to make a decision right at the moment

"okay" I whispered and he smiled putting his arms around my shoulders and steering me towards somewhat seemed like the backdoor of the store and after that he steered me into his Rover which was parked there with its door opened, I was shivering with fear. He tried to hold my hand when I was crying I pushed him back, he lifted his hands up in surrender

"why are you doing this to my family?" I shouted whilst crying my voice was breaking, he didn't answer, he just kept looking outside, the rain has already started to pour

"you manipulated James into bringing me here, didn't you?" I shouted again, he didn't answer once again, and didn't even look at me

"where's Alex, did you kidnap her too?" all of sudden my heart sunk down, he looked at me through the corner of his eyes, he quietly placed another monitor screen on the seat gap between us, she was sleeping peacefully at her home

"oh my God" I covered my face and burst into tears, it was indeed James who called me here

The car stopped somewhere in between the construction sites, it was dark for a noon, the clouds were roaring and poured heavily on us as they steered me towards the building, Rayyan walked quietly along with me, I tried to loosen their grips on my arms they only held me tightly

It started to pour outside, I wondered why Alex rescheduled the coffee day before like this, she better have checked the forecast, it was strange for the matter of fact she always does. Somehow I had a bad feeling in my gut, I wanted to call Jas but I already troubled her before she'll drop her plans this time and will come back home, I should be a supportive husband as I've always been, at least I try to be one.

We were in the living room, kids were playing with their full tummies not in the mood to fall asleep anytime soon, as if their batteries were recharged to full.

"Hello there my love" Niall and louis walked in with snacks, Niall picked up Anna even before greeting me, I called them here as they were working in the studio I decided to work from home

"where's Liam?" I asked

"he went to pick up Alex, she didn't come to studio today, cause we are lacking behind the writing schedule and she said more the merrier yesterday" Niall answered and I got numb for a moment

"she scheduled writing for today?" I asked as I got up, my hands were shivering

"yeah! Cause she's busy tomorrow with Jas, where's Jas anyways?" Louis asked

"she's out with Alex" I added, my head spun and somehow it told me that my gut feeling was right

"she rain checked on us without any notice, she never does that" Niall said and got interrupted by a phone call

"excuse me" I tried calling Jas her phone was off, I told myself that it must be the bad weather, my phone rang in my hand when I was about to call Jas again, it was Bob, I picked up

"Sir, Jasmin disappeared" my soul left my body, he was scared

"what do you mean disappeared?" I shouted and he started stuttering

"I found her handbag on the ground, but she isn't here, he's not here too" Bob stuttered

"who's not there? And where the fuck are you?" I growled

"that brunnette guy, Alex's husband, James I guess, he brought us here in the store telling Alex was here" Bob said and I hung up the phone

"that bastard kidnapped my wife"
