The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 98

Aidan's POV

"Shit!" I hit the car bonnet in frustration.

This is a dead-end. I can't believe my baby won't be found. We traced the car as Tristan suggested but we found it in a bushy area with no one inside. The tracking device is still on the van which shows that they didn't take note of it. They must have decided to change their vehicle on instinct.

"Shit!" I curse again. I feel like crying right now. I can't imagine life without Lily. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to her.

These two innocent people that were kidnapped are suffering for my mistakes. I believe this is my mistake. If I had done the right thing for Lisa by reporting Damien to the authorities, maybe he wouldn't have the guts to be doing this and seeing me as his enemy.

"Aidan?" Tristan holds me, as I hit the car again, more aggressively. I didn't know when tears begin to spill down my face until I begin to feel the wetness.

"Let me be", I struggle out of his hold.

"Let's go, I have a feeling......", he trails off and looks towards the van. I stop and watch him. He let me go and saunters to the van. He opens it and looks inside, I watch him wondering what he is doing. We checked the van together and there was no soul in there.

What is he checking? What was he talking about?

He enters the van and I am about to go join him when he jumps out. "Let's go." He walks past me.

I furrow my brows in confusion. "What is happening?"

"Come in, I will tell you on her way back", he enters the car and ignites the car into action, waiting for me to hop in.

I feel sad. I feel leaving this deserted and bushy area is like giving up on looking for my baby.

"Aidan, let's go", he shouted with urgency and I find myself running to the car. I enter and he zooms off.

"What is happening, Tristan?"

"I want us to meet up with the police", he only says and I raise a brow. I don't understand a thing about what he is saying.

Aren't they supposed to come here? Why is he saying we should go meet them?

"I have a feeling someone will come back for the van, so I drop a little camera inside to get someone who can take us to where they are. It is obvious they aren't here but we should at least get an informant who will lead us to where this leader is hiding with the baby and her nanny and also who the leader is." He explains.

"Oh!"

"I want us to meet up with the police so we can lay low and monitor the movement of anyone who comes here", he adds.

"Why aren't the police here, yet?"

"I asked them to go elsewhere since we have more than one suspect", he responds.

"Elsewhere? Where?"

"To Damien's apartment to search if they are there. They are on their way here. Frederick sent me a message already, no one is there."

I sigh. Where do we go now? Where is Lily? Who is with Lily?

I hear the screeching sound of a car and I look forward. The police car comes to a stop and they all come out. Tristan stops the car too and we get out. We didn't bother to exchange pleasantries before we begin to talk about the next step. Tristan updates them on what is happening and how deserted the place is and I look around absentmindedly.

"Damien is dead", someone among them says and I gaze at him in confusion.

Damien is dead?

"Damien?" I ask him.

"He was shot in the heart and found dead in his father's home. His father was also shot but it seems the old man survived it", he explains.

I can't believe it. How? Where? Who killed him? Does that mean Damien doesn't have my child?
