Grey’s head almost flew off, and his hand went hard over the phone. “what? Where the fuck are you now?”
Beatrice sobbed softly.”I’m at home.”
Grey hung up quickly and pulled out of the company at a fast speed that it looked like he might get involved in an accident anytime soon but he knew his way around already. Though, somehow, he found it difficult to believe Caramel was really kidnapped. So, he placed a call to her instantly but her number was unavailable.
His heart felt as though it was going to stop. Caramel of all people? And then he wondered how that could have happened. Caramel wasn’t involved in him in any way. And she didn’t even know he was the Hercules.
How come then? And who could have kidnapped her? Well, Giovanni doesn’t know who he was and Hattie doesn’t know he was Hercules either. That aside, he wasn’t even married to Caramel. So, there was no way she would use her to get him. He soon pulled up in the front yard and got out of the car. Beatrice was standing in front of the front door,still silently sobbing. Grey hurried closer. “Wait, I’m not getting something. How did this happen? How did you know she was kidnapped?”
Beatrice didn’t say anything and instead stretched out a piece of paper for him. Grey took it and read through it. The words on it were short.
Come to the address below this message if you wish to save Caramel. You have just three days.
Grey raised skeptical brows at Beatrice. “Is this letter for you or me?”
Beatrice shrugged slightly. She was still sobbing.” I don’t know. The security guard gave me this. He said someone dropped it. Though, there’s another on the table inside. I couldn’t check that because I was scared of looking inside it,” she revealed.
Grey walked inside, without another word. The second letter was really on the table. He took it and broke the cover.
The words on it were longer than the first one he read. That aside, it showed who the sender really was- Beatrice,
So, Grey knew it was really from Hattie.
For some minutes, after reading the letter, Grey felt incoherent. He felt very confused and then, shocked.
How could Caramel be Beatrice’s daughter?
Caramel and Beatrice seemed to love each other but he didn’t believe there was a stronger bond.
Also, Beatrice had just a son. And, Caramel has a mother. What was happening?
Also, how did Hattie lay her hand on this kind of information? “What did it say?” Beatrice asked suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts when nothing else could have.
Grey stretched out the paper. “This is for you, you should read it.”
Beatrice took it with shaking hands and she seemed to zoom out of the world after reading the content on the paper. She looked up with eyes that had gone wide and dark. “What does that mean? Your daughter is Caramel? You told me your child was dead and he was a male.”
