Becoming strangers again (Lily and Ryan) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 

RVAN 

I have been trying to reach tally for the past six hours but she has not been taking my call. At some point, her number stapped commiscting To say I am losing my mind at the moment would be the greatest understatement in history, 

Clicking my bangue, I continued pacing the floor with the photo my car, my eyes occasionally moving to the boys who were engrossed in their art paintings. 

Just like before the automated voice told me that her number is reachable. “Daddy” Boas called out and 1 glanced at him “stuld I paint the sky blue or grey?” 

The sky should be anything but grey, I need it to be as clear and blue as it can get, “Paint it, blue love! 

The door opened and the nanny walked in with Angelo They both took notice of my agitated state, 

“I will keep an eye on the boys” The nanny informed me and I couldn’t be more grateful. 

Nodding, I stepped out of the room with Angelo hot on my tail is everything okay sir?” he asked as he walked into my

“I have been trying to reach Lily for the past six hours and she is hot picking” I placed the phone in my ear again as 1 hoped and prayed for it to at least ring 

“Maybe she is in a meeting” Angelo suggested, “Maybe that is why she isn’t picking” 

Halting, I turned to face him, my eyes wide with fear. “I would have the same if she didn’t pick, but the problem is that her number stopped connecting at all” Something is definitely wrong, I can feel it in my guts. 

“Let me try reaching her with my phone” He suggested just to ease my worry, Pulling out his phone, he dialed her number but of course, it did not connect. “Have you tried her securities 

“None of those motherfuckers are taking my call” I snapped. It lay my hands on them, I am so going to strangle them to death 

“I’ll try them” He dialed one of the security numbers and placed the phone to his ear. Surprisingly, they picked, “What the fuck is going on man? The boss has been trying to reach you” 

Stomping, over to him, 1 snatched the phone from him. “it is either you all have lost your goddamn mind or you have a death wish!” I snapped, “why the fuck have you all been ignoring my call?” 

“We are sorry boss, we didn’t just know what to tell you about 14, Lily, which was why we avoided your call 

“what the fuck do you mean by that?” I gritted out, my heart hammering in my chest, “did something happen to her?” 

“We haven’t seen her in the past five hours and we have looked around for her but there is no sign of her” 

Staggering, back, I held onto the sofa for support “what happened to Lily? What the hell was she alone in the first place?” 

“de insisted that we stay in the garage and keep an eye out on her car and also any suspicious activities, Veer since she walked through that door, she has not walked out, I can swear it but she is not where to be found. We have been requesting CCTV ban M. Veronica won’t give us access to it” 

1 knew something, was wrong with her. By guts have never been wrong, “I am on my way? Veronica or whatever her name is will regres refusing access to the CCTV footage 

Chucking, the phone back to Anydo, I scrolled through my account, searching for the pilot’s number so i could give him a

call and have him get ready for a flight. 

However, my phone chimed with an incoming message. Brows rrowing with curiosity, I clicked on the message and my heart literally stopped when I saw what the message was about. 

It was a picture of Lily, on a worn–out bed, her face brutally battered with beating. I didn’t need anyone to tell me who was behind this; it was Jake and this was the major reason why I told her not to leave for Canada in the first place. 

“Sir?” Angelo called him, but I was too shocked by the image to give him any response. “Are you okay sir?” he asked, closing the distance between us, “did something happen?” he took the phone from me and cussed under his breath when he saw the image. “Fuvking hell, what is this?!” 

For both our sake, I really hope that was a rhetorical question. Taking the phone back from him, I tried to call the number but it didn’t connect. 

“I am calling Detective Rio and your father,” Angelo muttered as he scrolled through his phone and I didn’t object one bit. 

As he was about to call me when another message popped up with a different number. I clicked on it and my jaw tightened. “Wait!” I called out to Angelo who froze instantly. “Don’t involve Detective Rio.” 

He frowned. “and why shouldn’t I do that? This is clearly a case of kidnap?”
